1 Kings 8
1 Then King Salomon assembled the Elders of Israel, euen all the heads of the tribes, the chiefe fathers of the children of Israel vnto him in Ierusalem, for to bring vp the Arke of the couenant of the Lord from the citie of Dauid, which is Zion.
Tada Salomon sazva u Jeruzalem sve starješine Izraelove, sve knezove plemenske i glavare obitelji da se prenese Kovčeg saveza Jahvina iz grada, Davidova grada, to jest sa Siona.
2 And all the men of Israel assembled vnto King Salomon at the feast in the moneth of Ethanim, which is the seuenth moneth.
Svi se ljudi Izraelovi sabraše pred kraljem Salomonom na blagdan u mjesecu Etanimu (to je sedmi mjesec).
3 And all the Elders of Israel came and the Priests tooke the Arke.
I kad su došle Izraelove starješine, svećenici ponesoše Kovčeg
4 They bare the Arke of the Lord, and they bare the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and all the holy vessels that were in the Tabernacle: those did the Priestes and Leuites bring vp.
i Šator sastanka sa svim posvećenim priborom što bješe u Šatoru. Prenosili su ih svećenici i leviti.
5 And King Salomon and all the Congregation of Israel, that were assembled vnto him, were with him before the Arke, offering sheepe and beeues, which could not be tolde, nor nombred for multitude.
Kralj Salomon i sva zajednica Izraelova koja se sabrala oko njega žrtvovali su pred Kovčegom toliko ovaca i goveda da se ne mogahu prebrojiti ni procijeniti.
6 So the Priestes brought the Arke of the couenant of the Lord vnto his place, into the oracle of the house, into the most holy place, euen vnder the wings of the Cherubims.
Svećenici donesoše Kovčeg saveza Jahvina na njegovo mjesto, u Debir Doma, to jest u Svetinju nad svetinjama, pod krila kerubina.
7 For ye Cherubims stretched out their wings ouer the place of the Arke, and the Cherubims couered the Arke, and the barres thereof aboue.
Kerubini su, naime, imali raširena krila nad mjestom gdje stajaše Kovčeg i zaklanjahu odozgo Kovčeg i njegove motke.
8 And they drewe out the barres, that the endes of the barres might appeare out of the Sanctuarie before the oracle, but they were not seene without: and there they are vnto this day.
[8a] Motke su bile tako dugačke da su im se krajevi vidjeli iz Svetišta nasuprot Debiru, ali se nisu vidjele izvana.
9 Nothing was in the Arke saue the two tables of stone which Moses had put there at Horeb, where the Lord made a couenant with the children of Israel, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.
U Kovčegu nije bilo ništa, osim dviju kamenih ploča koje metnu Mojsije na Horebu, gdje Jahve sklopi Savez s Izraelcima pošto iziđoše iz Egipta. [8b] Ondje su ostale do danas.
10 And when the Priestes were come out of the Sanctuarie, the cloude filled the house of the Lord,
A kad su svećenici izašli iz Svetišta, oblak ispuni Dom Jahvin,
11 So that the Priestes could not stande to minister, because of the cloude: for the glorie of the Lord had filled the house of the Lord.
i svećenici ne mogoše od oblaka nastaviti službe: slava Jahvina ispuni Dom Božji!
12 Then spake Salomon, The Lord said, that he woulde dwell in the darke cloude.
Tada reče Salomon: “Jahve odluči prebivati u tmastu oblaku,
13 I haue built thee an house to dwell in, an habitation for thee to abide in for euer.
a ja ti sagradih uzvišen Dom da u njemu prebivaš zauvijek.”
14 And the King turned his face, and blessed all the Congregation of Israel: for all the Congregation of Israel stoode there.
I, okrenuvši se, kralj blagoslovi sav izraelski zbor, a sav je izraelski zbor stajao.
15 And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, who spake with his mouth vnto Dauid my father, and hath with his hand fulfilled it, saying,
Reče on: “Neka je blagoslovljen Jahve, Bog Izraelov, koji je svojom rukom ispunio obećanje što ga na svoja usta dade ocu mome Davidu, rekavši:
16 Since the day that I brought my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no citie of all the tribes of Israel, to builde an house that my name might be there: but I haue chosen Dauid to be ouer my people Israel.
'Od dana kad izvedoh svoj narod iz zemlje egipatske, nisam izabrao grada ni iz kojega Izraelova plemena da se u njemu sagradi Dom gdje bi prebivalo moje Ime, nego sam izabrao Davida da on zapovijeda mojim narodom Izraelom.'
17 And it was in ye heart of Dauid my father to builde an house to the Name of the Lord God of Israel.
Otac mi David naumi podići Dom Imenu Jahve, Boga Izraelova,
18 And the Lord said vnto Dauid my father, Where as it was in thine heart to build an house vnto my Name, thou diddest well, that thou wast so minded:
ali mu Jahve reče: 'Naumio si podići Dom mojem Imenu, i dobro učini,
19 Neuerthelesse thou shalt not builde the house, but thy sonne that shall come out of thy loynes, he shall builde the house vnto my Name.
ali nećeš ti podići toga Doma, nego sin tvoj koji izađe iz tvoga krila, on će podići Dom mojem Imenu.'
20 And the Lord hath made good his worde that he spake: and I am risen vp in the roume of Dauid my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the Lord promised, and haue built the house for the Name of the Lord God of Israel.
Jahve ispuni obećanje svoje: naslijedio sam svoga oca Davida i sjeo na prijestolje Izraelovo, kako obeća Jahve, i podigao Dom Imenu Jahve, Boga Izraelova,
21 And I haue prepared therein a place for the Arke, wherein is the couenant of the Lord which he made with our fathers, whe he brought them out of the lande of Egypt.
i odredio sam da ondje bude mjesto Kovčegu u kojem je Savez što ga Jahve sklopi s našim ocima kad ih je izveo iz zemlje egipatske.”
22 Then Salomon stoode before the altar of the Lord in the sight of all the Congregation of Israel, and stretched out his handes towarde heauen,
Tada Salomon stupi, u nazočnosti svega zbora Izraelova, pred žrtvenik Jahvin, raširi ruke prema nebu
23 And sayd, O Lord God of Israel, there is no God like thee in heauen aboue, or in the earth beneath, thou that keepest couenant and mercie with thy seruants that walke before thee with all their heart,
i reče: “Jahve, Bože Izraelov! Nijedan ti bog nije sličan ni na nebesima ni dolje na zemlji, tebi koji držiš Savez i ljubav svojim slugama što kroče pred tobom sa svim svojim srcem.
24 Thou that hast kept with thy seruant Dauid my father, that thou hast promised him: for thou spakest with thy mouth and hast fulfilled it with thine hande, as appeareth this day.
Sluzi svome Davidu, mome ocu, ti si ispunio što si mu obećao. Što si obećao na svoja usta, ispunio si svojom rukom upravo danas.
25 Therefore now, Lord God of Israel, keepe with thy seruant Dauid my father that thou hast promised him, saying, Thou shalt not want a man in my sight to sit vpon ye throne of Israel: so that thy childre take heed to their way, that they walke before me; as thou hast walked in my sight
Sada, Jahve, Bože Izraelov, ispuni svome sluzi, ocu mome Davidu, što si obećao kad si rekao: 'Neće ti preda mnom nestati nasljednika koji bi sjedio na izraelskom prijestolju, samo ako tvoji sinovi budu čuvali svoje putove hodeći po mojem zakonu kako si ti hodio preda mnom.'
26 And nowe, O God of Israel, I pray thee, let thy worde be verified, which thou spakest vnto thy seruant Dauid my father.
Sada, dakle, Jahve, Bože Izraelov, neka se ispuni tvoje obećanje koje si dao svome sluzi Davidu, mome ocu!
27 Is it true in deede that God will dwell on the earth? beholde, the heauens, and the heauens of heauens are not able to conteine thee: howe much more vnable is this house that I haue built?
Ali zar će Bog doista boraviti s ljudima na zemlji? TÓa nebesa ni nebesa nad nebesima ne mogu ga obuhvatiti, a kamoli ovaj Dom što sam ga sagradio!
28 But haue thou respect vnto the prayer of thy seruant, and to his supplication, O Lord, my God, to heare the cry and prayer which thy seruant prayeth before thee this day:
Pomno počuj molitvu i vapaj svoga sluge, Jahve, Bože moj, te usliši vapaj i molitvu što je tvoj sluga tebi upućuje!
29 That thine eyes may be open toward this house, night and day, euen towarde the place whereof thou hast said, My Name shalbe there: that thou mayest hearken vnto the prayer which thy seruant prayeth in this place.
Neka tvoje oči obdan i obnoć budu otvorene nad ovim Domom, nad ovim mjestom za koje reče: 'Tu će biti moje Ime.' Usliši molitvu koju će sluga tvoj izmoliti na ovome mjestu.
30 Heare thou therefore the supplication of thy seruant, and of thy people Israel, which pray in this place, and heare thou in the place of thine habitation, euen in heauen, and when thou hearest, haue mercie.
I usliši molitvu sluge svoga i naroda svojega izraelskog koju bude upravljao prema ovome mjestu. Usliši s mjesta gdje prebivaš, s nebesa; usliši i oprosti.
31 When a man shall trespasse against his neighbour, and he lay vpon him an othe to cause him to sweare, and the swearer shall come before thine altar in this house,
Ako tko zgriješi protiv bližnjega i naredi mu se da se zakune, a zakletva dođe pred tvoj žrtvenik u ovom Domu,
32 Then heare thou in heauen, and doe and iudge thy seruants, that thou condemne the wicked to bring his way vpon his head, and iustifie the righteous, to giue him according to his righteousnesse.
tada je ti čuj u nebu i postupaj i sudi svojim slugama, osudi krivca okrećući njegova djela na njegovu glavu, a nevina oslobodi postupajući s njime po nevinosti njegovoj.
33 When thy people Israel shall be ouerthrowen before the enemie, because they haue sinned against thee, and turne againe to thee, and confesse thy Name, and pray and make supplication vnto thee in this house,
Ako narod tvoj bude potučen od neprijatelja jer se ogriješio o tebe, ali se ipak k tebi obrati i proslavi Ime tvoje i u ovom se Domu pomoli,
34 Then heare thou in heauen, and be mercifull vnto the sinne of thy people Israel, and bring them againe vnto the lande, which thou gauest vnto their fathers.
onda ti čuj to s neba, oprosti grijehe svome narodu izraelskom i dovedi ga natrag u zemlju koju si dao njihovim očevima.
35 When heauen shalbe shut vp, and there shalbe no raine because they haue sinned against thee, and shall pray in this place, and confesse thy Name, and turne from their sinne, when thou doest afflict them,
Kad se zatvori nebo i ne padne kiša jer su se ogriješili o tebe, pa ti se pomole na ovome mjestu i proslave Ime tvoje i obrate se od svojega grijeha kad ih ti poniziš,
36 Then heare thou in heauen, and pardon the sinne of thy seruants and of thy people Israel (when thou hast taught the the good way wherein they may walke) and giue raine vpon the land that thou hast giuen to thy people to inherite.
tada ti čuj na nebu i oprosti grijeh svojim slugama i svojem izraelskom narodu, pokazujući im valjan put kojim će ići, i pusti kišu na zemlju koju si svojem narodu dao u baštinu.
37 When there shalbe famine in the land, when there shalbe pestilence, when there shall be blasting, mildewe, grashopper or caterpiller, when their enemie shall besiege them in the cities of their lande, or any plague, or any sickenesse,
Kad u zemlji zavlada glad, kuga, snijet i rđa i kad navale skakavci, gusjenice, kad neprijatelj ovoga naroda pritisne koja od njegovih vrata, ili kad bude kakva druga nevolja ili boleština,
38 Then what prayer, and supplication so euer shalbe made of any man or of all thy people Israel, when euery one shall knowe the plague in his owne heart, and stretch foorth his handes in this house,
ako koji čovjek, ili sav tvoj narod, Izrael, osjeti tjeskobu svoga srca pa upravi molitvu ili prošnju te raširi ruke prema ovom Hramu,
39 Heare thou then in heauen, in thy dwelling place, and be mercifull, and doe, and giue euery man according to all his wayes, as thou knowest his heart, (for thou only knowest the heartes of all the children of men)
ti čuj s neba, s mjesta gdje prebivaš, i oprosti i postupi; vrati svakome čovjeku prema putu njegovu, jer ti poznaješ srce njegovo - ti jedini poznaješ srce sviju -
40 That they may feare thee as long as they liue in ye lad, which thou gauest vnto our fathers.
da te se uvijek boje sve dane dokle žive na zemlji što je ti dade našim očevima.
41 Moreouer as touching the stranger that is not of thy people Israel, who shall come out of a farre countrey for thy Names sake,
Pa i tuđinca, koji nije od tvojega naroda izraelskog, nego je stigao iz daleke zemlje radi Imena tvoga
42 (When they shall heare of thy great name, and of thy mightie hande, and of thy stretched out arme) and shall come and pray in this house,
jer je čuo za veliko Ime tvoje, za tvoju snažnu ruku i za tvoju mišicu podignutu - ako dođe i pomoli se u ovom Hramu,
43 Heare thou in heauen thy dwelling place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth for vnto thee: that all the people of the earth may know thy Name, and feare thee, as do thy people Israel: and that they may know, that thy Name is called vpon in this house which I haue built.
usliši ga s neba gdje prebivaš, usliši sve vapaje njegove da bi upoznali svi zemaljski narodi Ime tvoje i bojali se tebe kao narod tvoj Izrael i da znaju da je tvoje Ime zazvano nad ovaj Dom koji sam sagradio.
44 When thy people shall go out to battell against their enemie by the way that thou shalt sende them, and shall pray vnto the Lord towarde the way of the citie which thou hast chosen, and toward the house that I haue built for thy Name,
Ako narod tvoj krene na neprijatelja putem kojim ga ti uputiš i pomoli se Jahvi, okrenut k ovom gradu što si ga izabrao i prema Domu koji sam podigao tvojem Imenu,
45 Heare thou then in heauen their prayer and their supplication, and iudge their cause.
usliši mu s neba molitvu i prošnju i učini mu pravdu.
46 If they sinne against thee, (for there is no man that sinneth not) and thou be angry with them, and deliuer them vnto the enemies, so that they cary them away prisoners vnto the land of the enemies, either farre or neere,
Kad ti sagriješe, jer nema čovjeka koji ne griješi, a ti ih, rasrdiv se na njih, predaš neprijateljima da ih zarobe i odvedu kao roblje u daleku ili blizu zemlju,
47 Yet if they turne againe vnto their heart in the lande (to the which they be caryed away captiues) and returne and pray vnto thee in the lande of them that caryed them away captiues, saying, We haue sinned, we haue transgressed, and done wickedly,
pa ako se pokaju srcem u zemlji u koju budu dovedeni te se obrate i počnu te moliti za milost u zemlji svojih osvajača govoreći: 'Zgriješili smo, bili smo zli i naopaki',
48 If they turne againe vnto thee with all their heart, and with all their soule in the lande of their enemies, which led them away captiues, and pray vnto thee toward the way of their land, which thou gauest vnto their fathers, and toward the citie which thou hast chosen, and the house, which I haue built for thy Name,
i tako se obrate k tebi svim srcem i svom dušom u zemlji svoga ropstva u koju budu dovedeni kao roblje, i pomole se okrenuti k zemlji što je ti dade njihovim očevima, i prema gradu koji si izabrao, i prema Domu što sam ga podigao tvom Imenu,
49 Then heare thou their prayer and their supplication in heauen thy dwelling place, and iudge their cause,
usliši s neba, gdje prebivaš, njihovu molbu i njihove prošnje,
50 And be mercifull vnto thy people that haue sinned against thee, and vnto all their iniquities (wherein they haue transgressed against thee) and cause that they, which led them away captiues, may haue pitie and compassion on them:
učini im pravdu i oprosti svome narodu što je zgriješio protiv tebe, oprosti sve uvrede koje ti je nanio, učini da mu se smiluju osvajači i da budu milostivi prema njemu,
51 For they be thy people, and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest out of Egypt from the middes of the yron fornace.
jer su oni tvoj narod i baština tvoja, njih si izveo iz Egipta, iz užarenog kotla.
52 Let thine eyes be open vnto the prayer of thy seruant, and vnto the prayer of thy people Israel, to hearken vnto them, in all that they call for vnto thee.
Neka oči tvoje budu otvorene na prošnju tvoga sluge i na prošnju naroda tvoga Izraela da čuješ sve njihove molbe što će ih tebi uputiti.
53 For thou diddest separate them to thee from among all people of the earth for an inheritance, as thou saidest by the hand of Moses thy seruant, when thou broughtest our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord God.
Jer ti si ih odvojio od svih naroda na zemlji sebi za baštinu, kako si objavio po svome sluzi Mojsiju, kada si izveo oce naše iz Egipta, o Gospode, Jahve!”
54 And when Salomon had made an ende of praying all this prayer and supplication vnto the Lord, he arose from before the altar of the Lord, from kneeling on his knees, and stretching of his handes to heauen,
Pošto je Salomon dovršio svu ovu molitvu i prošnju pred Jahvom, diže se s mjesta gdje je klečao, raširenih ruku prema nebu, pred žrtvenikom Jahvinim,
55 And stoode and blessed all the Congregation of Israel with a loud voyce, saying,
pa istupi te blagoslovi sav zbor Izraelov govoreći jakim glasom:
56 Blessed be the Lord that hath giuen rest vnto his people Israel, according to all that hee promised: there hath not fayled one word of all his good promise which he promised by the hand of Moses his seruant.
“Blagoslovljen Jahve, koji je narodu svome Izraelu dao mir u svemu kako je obećao; nije propalo nijedno od njegovih lijepih obećanja koja je dao sluzi svome Mojsiju.
57 The Lord our God be with vs, as he was with our fathers, that he forsake vs not, neither leaue vs,
Neka Jahve, Bog naš, bude s nama kao što je bio s ocima našim i neka nas ne napusti i ne odbaci.
58 That he may bow our heartes vnto him, that we may walke in all his waies, and keepe his commandements, and his statutes, and his lawes, which he commanded our fathers.
Neka prikloni naša srca k sebi da bismo hodili svim njegovim putovima i držali njegove zapovijedi, zakone i uredbe koje je dao ocima našim.
59 And these my wordes, which I haue prayed before the Lord, be neere vnto the Lord our God day and night, that he defende the cause of his seruant, and the cause of his people Israel alway as the matter requireth,
Bile ove moje riječi, koje sam smjerno iznio pred Jahvu, danju i noću nazočne pred Jahvom, Bogom našim, eda bi dan za danom činio pravdu sluzi svomu i pravicu narodu svome Izraelu,
60 That all the people of ye earth may knowe, that the Lord is God, and none other.
ne bi li tako svi narodi zemlje spoznali da je Jahve jedini Bog i da nema drugoga.
61 Let your heart therefore be perfit with the Lord our God to walke in his statutes, and to keepe his commandements, as this day.
A vaše srce neka bude potpuno odano Jahvi, Bogu našemu, držeći se njegovih zakona i obdržavajući njegove zapovijedi kao danas!”
62 Then the King and all Israel with him offred sacrifice before the Lord.
Kralj i sav Izrael s njim prinesu žrtvu Jahvi.
63 And Salomon offered a sacrifice of peace offrings which he offered vnto the Lord, to wit, two and twentie thousande beeues, and an hundreth and twentie thousande sheepe: so the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the house of the Lord.
Kao žrtvu pričesnicu, koju je prikazao Jahvi, Salomon prinese dvadeset i dvije tisuće volova i stotinu i dvadeset tisuća ovaca; time kralj i svi Izraelci posvete Dom Jahvin.
64 The same day did the King halowe the middle of the court, that was before the house of the Lord: for there he made burnt offerings, and the meate offrings, and the fat of the peace offeringes, because the brasen altar that was before the Lord, was too litle to receiue the burnt offerings, and the meate offerings, and the fat of the peace offrings.
Toga dana posveti kralj središte predvorja, koje je ispred Doma Jahvina, jer ondje je prinio paljenice, prinosnice i pretiline pričesnica, jer je tučani žrtvenik pred Jahvom bio premalen da primi paljenice, prinosnice, pretiline pričesnica.
65 And Salomon made at that time a feast and all Israel with him, a very great Congregation, euen from the entring in of Hamath vnto the riuer of Egypt, before the Lord our God, seuen dayes and seuen dayes, euen fourteene dayes.
Tu je svečanost u ono vrijeme Salomon slavio sedam dana, sa svim Izraelcima, zborom velikim od Ulaza u Hamat do Potoka Egipatskog, pred Jahvom, Bogom našim.
66 And the eight day he sent the people away: and they thanked the King and went vnto their tentes ioyous and with glad heart, because of al the goodnesse that the Lord had done for Dauid his seruant, and for Israel his people.
Zatim je osmoga dana otpustio ljude; oni su blagosivljali kralja i odlazili svojim kućama, veseli i zadovoljna srca zbog svega dobra što ga je Jahve učinio svome sluzi Davidu i narodu svome Izraelu.
