2 Chronicles 6
1 Then Solomon spoke, “The Lord said that he lives in deep darkness.
Potem je Salomon rekel: » Gospod je rekel, da bo prebival v gosti temi.
2 However, I have built you a magnificent Temple, a place for you to live forever.”
Toda jaz sem zate zgradil hišo prebivališča in prostor za tvoje prebivanje na veke.«
3 Then the king turned and blessed the whole assembly of Israel, as they all stood.
Kralj je obrnil svoj obraz in blagoslovil celotno Izraelovo skupnost in celotna Izraelova skupnost je stala.
4 He said, “Praise the Lord God of Israel, who has kept the promise he made to my father David when he said,
Rekel je: »Blagoslovljen bodi Gospod, Izraelov Bog, ki je s svojimi rokami izpolnil to, kar je s svojimi usti govoril mojemu očetu Davidu, rekoč:
5 ‘Ever since the day I brought my people out of the land of Egypt, I have not chosen a town from any tribe of Israel where a Temple could be built to honor me, and I have not chosen anyone to be ruler over my people Israel.
›Od dneva, ko sem svoje ljudstvo privedel iz egiptovske dežele, nisem izbral nobenega mesta med vsemi Izraelovimi rodovi, da bi v njem zgradil hišo, da bi bilo tam lahko moje ime niti nisem izbral nobenega človeka, da bi bil vladar nad mojim ljudstvom Izraelom,
6 But now I have chosen Jerusalem so that I will be honored there, and I have chosen David to rule over my people Israel.’
toda izbral sem Jeruzalem, da bo tam lahko moje ime in izbral sem Davida, da bo nad mojim ljudstvom Izraelom.‹
7 My father David really wanted to build this Temple to honor the Lord, the God of Israel.
Torej, to je bilo na srcu mojega očeta Davida, da zgradi hišo za ime Gospoda, Izraelovega Boga.
8 But the Lord told my father David, ‘You really wanted to build me a Temple to honor me—and it was good for you to want to do this.
Toda Gospod je mojemu očetu Davidu rekel: ›Ker je bilo to na tvojem srcu, da zgradiš hišo za moje ime, si storil dobro v tem, da je bilo to na tvojem srcu,
9 But you are not going to build the Temple. Your son, one of your children, will build the Temple to honor me.’
vendar hiše ne boš gradil ti, temveč tvoj sin, ki bo izšel iz tvojih ledij, on bo zgradil hišo za moje ime.‹
10 Now the Lord has kept the promise he made. For I have taken the place of my father, and I sit on the throne of Israel as the Lord said, and I have built the Temple to honor the Lord God of Israel.
Gospod je torej izpolnil svojo besedo, ki jo je govoril, kajti vzdignjen sem na mesto svojega očeta Davida in postavljen sem na Izraelov prestol, kakor je obljubil Gospod in zgradil sem hišo za ime Gospoda, Izraelovega Boga.
11 I have placed the Ark there, which has inside it the agreement the Lord made with the sons of Israel.”
Vanjo sem položil skrinjo, v kateri je Gospodova zaveza, ki jo je sklenil z Izraelovimi otroki.«
12 Then Solomon stood in front of the altar of the Lord before the whole assembly of Israel and spread out his hands in prayer.
Stal je pred Gospodovim oltarjem v prisotnosti vse Izraelove skupnosti in razprostrl svoji roki,
13 Solomon had made a bronze platform five cubits long, five cubits wide, and three cubits high. He had set it in the middle of the courtyard, and he was standing on it. Then he knelt down before the whole assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands toward heaven.
kajti Salomon je naredil bronast oder, pet komolcev dolg, pet komolcev širok in tri komolce visok ter ga postavil v sredo dvora. Na njem je stal in pokleknil na svoja kolena pred vso Izraelovo skupnostjo in svoji roki razprostrl proti nebu
14 He said, “Lord God of Israel, there is no god like you in heaven or on earth, keeping your agreement of trustworthy love with your servants who follow you with complete devotion.
in rekel: »Oh Gospod, Izraelov Bog, tebi ni podobnega Boga ne v nebesih, ne na zemlji, ki se držiš zaveze in izkazuješ usmiljenje svojim služabnikom, ki z vsemi svojimi srci hodijo pred teboj.
15 You have kept the promise you made to your servant, my father David. With your own mouth you made that promise, and with your own hands you have fulfilled it today.
Ti, ki si ohranil svojemu služabniku Davidu, mojemu očetu, to, kar si mu obljubil in govoriš s svojimi usti in si to izpolnil s svojo roko, kakor je to danes.
16 So now, Lord God of Israel, please keep the promise you made to your servant David, my father, when you told him, ‘If your descendants pay close attention to follow my way, and to keep my law as you have done, you will never fail to have one of them to sit on the throne of Israel.’
Zdaj torej, oh Gospod, Izraelov Bog, ohrani svojemu služabniku Davidu, mojemu očetu, to, kar si mu obljubil, rekoč: ›Ne bo ti zmanjkalo moža v mojem pogledu, da sedi na Izraelovem prestolu, vendar tako, da bodo tvoji otroci pazili na svojo pot, da hodijo po moji postavi, kakor si ti hodil pred menoj.
17 Now, Lord God of Israel, please fulfill this promise you made to your servant David.
Sedaj torej, oh Gospod, Izraelov Bog, naj bo tvoja beseda, ki si jo govoril svojemu služabniku Davidu, podprta.
18 But will God really live here on earth among people? The heavens, even highest heaven, cannot contain you, much less this Temple I have built!
Toda mar bo Bog zagotovo prebival z ljudmi na zemlji? Glej, nebo in nebesa nebes te ne morejo vsebovati, kako veliko manj ta hiša, ki sem jo zgradil!
19 Please listen to the prayer of your servant and his request, Lord my God. Please hear the appeals and the prayers that your servant is presenting before you.
Ozri se na molitev svojega služabnika in k njegovi ponižni prošnji, oh Gospod, moj Bog, da prisluhneš joku in molitvi, ki jo tvoj služabnik moli pred teboj,
20 May you watch over this Temple day and night, caring for the place where you said you would be honored. May you hear the prayer your servant prays toward this place,
da bodo tvoje oči lahko odprte nad to hišo podnevi in ponoči, na kraju, o katerem si rekel, da boš tam položil svoje ime, da prisluhneš molitvi, ki jo tvoj služabnik moli proti temu kraju.
21 and hear the request of your servant and your people Israel when they pray toward this place. Please hear from heaven where you live. May you hear and forgive.
Prisluhni torej ponižnim prošnjam svojega služabnika in svojega ljudstva Izraela, ki jih bodo naredili proti temu kraju. Poslušaj iz svojega prebivališča, celó iz nebes in ko slišiš, odpusti.
22 When someone sins against another and is required to take an oath declaring the truth before your altar in this Temple,
Če človek greši zoper svojega bližnjega in je prisega položena nanj, ki ga primora priseči in prisega pride pred tvoj oltar v tej hiši,
23 listen from heaven, act and judge your servants. Pay back the guilty; vindicate and reward those who do right.
potem poslušaj iz nebes, stori in sodi [med] svojima služabnikoma s povračilom zlobnemu, tako da položiš njegovo pot na njegovo lastno glavo in opravičiš pravičnega, tako da mu daš glede na njegovo pravičnost.
24 When your people Israel are defeated by an enemy because they have sinned against you, and if they come back in repentance to you, praying for forgiveness in this Temple,
Če bo tvoje ljudstvo Izrael poraženo pred sovražnikom, ker so grešili zoper tebe in se bo vrnilo ter priznalo tvoje ime in molilo in naredilo ponižno prošnjo pred teboj v tej hiši,
25 then hear from heaven and forgive the sin of your people Israel, and bring them back to the land you gave them and their forefathers.
tedaj prisluhni iz nebes in odpusti greh svojega ljudstva Izraela ter jih ponovno privedi v deželo, ki si jo dal njim in njihovim očetom.
26 If the skies are closed shut and there is no rain because your people have sinned against you, if they pray toward this place and if they come back in repentance to you, turning away from their sin because you have punished them,
Ko je nebo zaprto in ni dežja, ker so grešili zoper tebe; vendar če molijo proti temu kraju in priznajo tvoje ime in se odvrnejo od svojega greha, ko si jih prizadel,
27 then hear from heaven and forgive the sin of your servants, your people Israel. Teach them the good way so that they can walk on it, and send rain on the earth that you have given to your people as their possession.
potem poslušaj iz nebes in odpusti greh svojih služabnikov in svojega ljudstva Izraela, ko si jih učil dobre poti, po kateri naj bi hodili in pošlji dež na svojo deželo, ki si jo dal svojemu ljudstvu za dediščino.
28 If there is famine in the land, or disease, or blight or mildew on the crops, or if there are locusts or caterpillars, or if an enemy comes to lay siege to the towns in the land—it can be whatever kind of plague or whatever kind of disease—
Če bo v deželi pomanjkanje, kužna bolezen, če bo kvarjenje ali plesen, leteče kobilice ali gosenice, če jih njihovi sovražniki oblegajo v mestih njihove dežele, kakršenkoli udarec ali kakršnakoli bolezen bo tam,
29 then whatever kind of prayer or whatever kind of appeal is made by anyone or all your people Israel, in fact anyone who, knowing their problems and pains, prays toward this Temple,
potem kakršnakoli molitev ali kakršnakoli ponižna prošnja bo narejena od kateregakoli človeka ali od vsega tvojega ljudstva Izraela, ko bo vsak spoznal svoj lastni udarec in svojo lastno bolečino in bo razprostrl svoji roki v tej hiši,
30 then hear from heaven, the place where you live, and forgive. Give according to the way they live their lives, for you know what people are really like inside, and you alone know the true character of people.
tedaj prisluhni iz nebes, svojega prebivališča, odpusti in povrni vsakemu človeku glede na njegove lastne poti, katerega srce ti poznaš (kajti samo ti poznaš srca človeških otrok),
31 Then they will respect you and follow your ways all the time they live in the land you gave to our forefathers.
da se te bodo lahko bali, da hodijo po tvojih poteh tako dolgo, dokler živijo v deželi, ki si jo dal našim očetom.
32 As for the foreigners who do not belong to your people Israel but who come from a distant land, having heard of your great nature and power and ability to help, when they come and pray toward this Temple,
Poleg tega glede tujca, ki ni iz tvojega ljudstva Izraela, temveč je prišel iz daljne dežele zaradi tvojega velikega imena, tvoje mogočne roke in tvojega iztegnjenega lakta; če pridejo in molijo v tej hiši,
33 then hear from heaven, the place where you live, and give them what they're asking. That way, everyone on earth will come to know and respect you, just as your own people Israel do. They will also know that this Temple I have built honors you.
tedaj prisluhni iz nebes, celó iz svojega prebivališča in stôri glede na vse, za kar tujec kliče k tebi, da bo vse ljudstvo zemlje poznalo tvoje ime in se te balo kakor tvoje ljudstvo Izrael in bo lahko vedelo, da je ta hiša, ki sem jo zgradil, imenovana po tvojem imenu.
34 When your people go to fight against their enemies, wherever you send them, and when they pray to you towards the city you have chosen and the house I have built to honor you,
Če gre tvoje ljudstvo na vojno zoper svoje sovražnike po poti, po kateri jih boš poslal in molijo k tebi obrnjeni k temu mestu, ki si ga izbral in k hiši, ki sem jo zgradil za tvoje ime,
35 then hear from heaven what they are praying and asking for, and support their cause.
tedaj prisluhni iz nebes njihovi molitvi in njihovim ponižnim prošnjam ter obravnavaj njihov primer.
36 If they sin against you—and there is nobody who does not sin—you may become angry with them and hand them over to an enemy who takes them away as prisoners to a foreign land, near or far.
Če grešijo zoper tebe (kajti nobenega človeka ni, ki ne greši) in si jezen nad njimi in jih izročiš pred njihove sovražnike in jih oni ujete odvedejo v deželo daleč proč ali blizu,
37 But if they think again in their land of captivity and repent and plead for mercy from you, saying, ‘We have sinned, we have done wrong, we have acted wickedly,’
vendar če si premislijo v deželi, kamor so odvedeni ujetniki in se obrnejo in molijo k tebi v deželi svojega ujetništva, rekoč: ›Grešili smo, napačno smo storili in počeli zlobno; ‹
38 and they come back to you with complete sincerity in their thoughts and attitudes there in their land of captivity; and they pray towards the land you gave their forefathers and the city you chose and the Temple I have built to honor you,
če se vrnejo k tebi z vsem svojim srcem in z vso svojo dušo, v deželi svojega ujetništva, kamor so jih odvedli ujete in molijo k njihovi deželi, ki si jo dal njihovim očetom in k mestu, ki si ga izbral in k hiši, ki sem jo zgradil za tvoje ime,
39 then hear from heaven, the place where you live, respond and support their cause. Forgive your people who have sinned against you.
tedaj prisluhni iz nebes, celó iz svojega prebivališča, njihovi molitvi in njihovim ponižnim prošnjam in obravnavaj njihov primer in odpusti svojemu ljudstvu, ki je grešilo zoper tebe.
40 Now my God, please open your eyes, and may your ears pay attention to the prayers offered in this place.
Sedaj, moj Bog, naj bodo, rotim te, tvoje oči odprte in naj bodo tvoja ušesa pozorna na molitev, ki je narejena na tem kraju.
41 ‘Come, Lord, and enter your home, together with your Ark of power. May your priests wear salvation like clothing; may your faithful people shout for joy in your goodness.
Sedaj torej vzdigni se, oh Gospod Bog, v svoje počivališče, ti in skrinja tvoje moči. Naj bodo tvoji duhovniki, oh Gospod Bog, oblečeni z rešitvijo duš in naj se tvoji sveti veselijo v dobroti.
42 Lord God, don't reject the king you have chosen. Remember your trustworthy love for your servant David.’”
Oh Gospod Bog, svojega obraza ne obrni od svojega maziljenca. Spomni se usmiljenj svojega služabnika Davida.‹«
