2 Chronicles 8
1 It had taken twenty years for Solomon to build the Temple of the Lord and his own palace.
A kad je prošlo dvadeset godina, za koliko je vremena Salomon podigao Jahvin Dom i svoj dvor,
2 Solomon rebuilt the towns Hiram had given him, and sent Israelites to live there.
posagradio je Salomon gradove, koje je dao Salomonu Hiram, i naselio ondje Izraelove sinove.
3 Then Solomon attacked Hamath-zobah and captured it.
Potom otiđe Salomon na Sopski Hamat i osvoji ga.
4 He built Tadmor in the wilderness and also built all the storehouse towns in Hamath.
Sagradi Tadmor u pustinji i svakojaka mjesta za skladišta u Hamatu.
5 He rebuilt Upper and Lower Beth-horon, fortified cities with walls and barred gates,
Sagradi i Gornji Bet Horon i Donji Bet Horon, tvrde gradove sa zidovima, vratima i prijevornicama;
6 and also Baalath. He built all the storehouse towns that belonged to him, and all the towns where he kept his chariots and horses. He built everything he wanted to in Jerusalem, Lebanon, and throughout his entire kingdom.
i Baalat, i sve gradove u kojima je imao skladišta, sve gradove za bojna kola i gradove za konjanike i što je god Salomon zaželio da gradi u Jeruzalemu i na Libanonu i po svoj zemlji svojega kraljevstva.
7 There were some people who remained in the land: the Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites—people who were not Israelites.
Svim preostalim Hetitima, Amorejcima, Perižanima, Hivijcima i Jebusejcima, koji nisu bili Izraelci,
8 They were the remaining descendants of the peoples that the Israelites had not destroyed. Solomon made them work as forced laborers, as they are to this day.
sinovima njihovim koji ostadoše iza njih u zemlji i koje Izraelci nisu zatrli - Salomon nametnu tlaku do današnjega dana.
9 But Solomon did not make any of the Israelites work as slaves. Instead, they were his military men, his officers, and commanders of his chariots and horsemen.
Sinove Izraelove nije Salomon pretvarao u robove za posao, nego su bili vojnici, zapovjednici njegovih štitonoša i zapovjednici bojnih kola i konjice.
10 They were also King Solomon's chief officers, 250 men who supervised the people.
Bili su poglavari nad upravnicima, kojih je kralj Salomon imao dvjesta i pedeset, i upravljali su narodom.
11 Solomon moved Pharaoh's daughter from the City of David to the palace he had built for her. For he said, “My wife cannot live in the palace of David king of Israel, because wherever the Ark of the Lord has gone are holy places.”
Salomon preseli i faraonovu kćer iz Davidova grada u kuću koju joj bijaše sagradio, jer je mislio: “Neće moja žena živjeti u dvoru izraelskoga kralja Davida, jer je svet otkako je u nj došao Kovčeg Jahvin.”
12 Then Solomon presented burnt offerings to the Lord on the altar of the Lord he had built in front of the Temple's porch.
Tada Salomon poče prinositi paljenice Jahvi na Jahvinu žrtveniku što ga bijaše sagradio pred trijemom,
13 He followed the requirement for daily offerings as Moses had ordered for Sabbaths, new moons, and the three annual festivals—the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the Festival of Weeks, and the Festival of Shelters.
i to koliko je trebalo iz dana u dan da prinese po Mojsijevoj zapovijedi, u subote, i na mlađake, i na blagdane tri puta u godini, na Blagdan beskvasnih kruhova, i na Blagdan sedmica, i na Blagdan sjenica.
14 Following the instructions of his father David, he assigned the divisions of the priests for their service, and the Levites in their responsibilities to offer praise, and to help the priests in their daily duties. He also assigned gatekeepers by their divisions at each gate as David, the man of God, had instructed.
Postavio je, po uredbi oca Davida, svećeničke redove po njihovoj službi i levitske po njihovim dužnostima da pjevaju hvale i da služe pred svećenicima, koliko treba iz dana u dan, i vratare po njihovim redovima na svakim vratima, jer je takva bila zapovijed Božjega čovjeka Davida.
15 They followed David's instructions exactly regarding the priests, the Levites, and anything to do with the treasuries.
Nisu odstupili od kraljeve zapovijedi za svećenike i levite ni u čemu, ni za riznice.
16 This is how all Solomon's work was carried out, from the day the foundation was laid for the Lord's Temple until it was finished. So the Lord's Temple was completed.
Tako se svršio sav Salomonov posao od dana kad je bio zasnovan Dom Jahvin pa dokle ga god nije dovršio. Tako bijaše dovršen Dom Jahvin.
17 After this Solomon went to Ezion-geber and to Eloth on the coast of the land of Edom.
Tada je Salomon otišao u Esjon-Geber i u Elat na morskoj obali u zemlji edomskoj.
18 Hiram sent him ships under the command of his own officers, along with experienced sailors. They went with Solomon's men to Ophir where they loaded 450 talents of gold, which they then brought back to King Solomon.
A Hiram mu je poslao po slugama lađe i mornare vične moru te su otišli sa Salomonovim slugama u Ofir; uzeše odande četiri stotine i pedeset talenata zlata i donesoše ih kralju Salomonu.
