1 Chronicles 22
1 And David said, This is the house of the Lord the [true] God, and this is the altar for the burnt-offering for Israel.
Zato David reče: “Ovo je Dom Jahve i ovo je žrtvenik za paljenice Izraelu!”
2 And David ordered to gather together the strangers that were in the land of Israel: and he appointed [them] to be masons to hew cut stones to build the house of God.
David zapovjedi da se skupe stranci koji su bili u izraelskoj zemlji i odredi klesare da propisno klešu kamenje za gradnju Doma Božjeg.
3 And iron in abundance for the nails for the doors of the gates, and for the joinings, did David prepare; and copper in abundance, [which] could not be weighed;
David je pripravio mnogo željeza za čavle na vratnim krilima i za kvačice; i bez mjere mnogo tuča.
4 Also cedar-trees [which] could not be counted; for the Zidonians and the Tyrians had brought cedar-trees in abundance to David.
Mnogo cedrovine, jer su Sidonci i Tirci dovozili mnogo cedrovih drva Davidu.
5 And David said, Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be built [in honor] of the Lord must be exceedingly great, for fame and for glory throughout all the countries: I will therefore make preparation for it. So David made abundant preparation before his death.
Jer David mišljaše: “Moj je sin Salomon mlad i nježan, a Dom koji treba graditi Jahvi mora biti veličanstven, na slavu i čast po svim zemljama. Hajde da mu sve pripravim.” I David je pripravio mnogo toga prije svoje smrti.
6 And he called for Solomon his son, and charged him to build a house for the Lord the God of Israel.
Potom dozva sina Salomona i zapovjedi mu da sagradi Dom Jahvi, Bogu Izraelovu.
7 And David said to Solomon, My son, as for me, it was in my mind to build a house unto the name of the Lord my God;
Još David reče Salomonu: “Sine! Bio sam nakanio u srcu da sagradim Dom imenu Jahve, svoga Boga.
8 But there came concerning me the word of the Lord, saying, Blood in abundance hast thou shed, and great wars hast thou made: thou shalt not build a house unto my name, because much blood hast thou shed upon the earth before me.
Ali mi je došla Jahvina riječ: 'Mnogo si krvi prolio i velike si ratove vodio; nećeš ti graditi Doma mome imenu jer si mnogo krvi prolio na zemlju preda mnom.
9 Behold, a son will be born to thee, he it is who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies on every side; for Solomon [[The Peaceful]] shall be his name, and peace and quietness will I bestow on Israel in his days.
Gle, rodit će ti se sin; on će biti miroljubac i dat ću mu mir od svih njegovih neprijatelja odasvud unaokolo; ime će mu biti Salomon. Mir i pokoj dat ću Izraelu za njegova vremena.
10 He it is who shall build a house unto my name; and he shall be unto me as a son, and I will be unto him as a father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel for ever.
On će sagraditi Dom mome imenu, on će mi biti sin, a ja ću njemu biti otac i utvrdit ću njegovo kraljevsko prijestolje nad Izraelom zauvijek.'
11 Now, my son, may the Lord be with thee, that thou mayest prosper, and build the house of the Lord thy God, as he hath spoken concerning thee.
Sada, moj sine, neka bude Jahve s tobom da izvršiš i sagradiš Dom Jahve, svoga Boga, kao što je rekao za te.
12 Only may the Lord give thee intelligence and understanding, and give thee charge over Israel, so that thou mayest observe the law of the Lord thy God.
Samo neka ti Jahve poda razum i mudrost kad te postavi nad Izraelom zato da se držiš Zakona Jahve, svoga Boga!
13 Then wilt thou prosper, if thou observe to practise the statutes and the ordinances which the Lord commanded Moses concerning Israel: be strong, and of good courage; be not afraid, nor be thou dismayed.
Bit ćeš sretan budeš li brižno vršio uredbe i zakone koje je Jahve preko Mojsija dao Izraelu. Budi junak i hrabar, ne boj se i ne plaši se!
14 And, behold, during my affliction have I prepared for the house of the Lord one hundred thousand talents of gold, and a thousand times thousand talents of silver; and of copper and iron [as much as] cannot be weighed; for in [such] abundance was it: and wood and stone have I prepared; and thou must add thereto.
Ja sam, evo, svojim trudom pripravio za Dom Jahvin sto tisuća zlatnih talenata i milijun srebrnih talenata, a tuča i željeza bez mjere, jer ga je tako mnogo. Pripravio sam i drva i kamenja, a i ti dodaj nešto k tomu.
15 Moreover there are with thee in abundance workmen, hewers and workers of stone and timber, and all manner of skilful men for every kind of work.
Imaš mnogo valjanih radnika, klesara, zidara, tesara i svakovrsnih vještaka u svakom umijeću;
16 The gold, the silver, and the copper, and the iron cannot be numbered: arise, [therefore, ] and be doing, and may the Lord be with thee.
zlatu, srebru, tuču i željezu nema mjere; idi, dakle, i gradi, i neka Jahve bude s tobom!”
17 And David gave a charge to all the princes of Israel to help Solomon his son, [saying, ]
Tada David zapovjedi svim izraelskim knezovima da pomažu njegovu sinu Salomonu:
18 Behold the Lord your God is with you; and he hath given you rest on every side; for he hath given up into my hand the inhabitants of the land, and the land is subdued before the Lord, and before his people.
“Nije li s vama Jahve, Bog vaš, koji vam je dao mir odasvud unaokolo jer je predao u moje ruke stanovnike ove zemlje i zemlja je pokorena pred Jahvom i pred njegovim narodom.
19 Now direct your heart and your soul to seek the Lord your God; and arise, and build ye the sanctuary of the Lord the [true] God, [in order] to bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and the holy vessels of God, into the house that is to be built unto the name of the Lord.
Sada, dakle, pregnite svojim srcem i svojom dušom da tražite Jahvu, svoga Boga; idite i gradite Svetište Bogu Jahvi, unesite Kovčeg saveza Jahvina i Božje sveto posuđe u Dom koji će se sagraditi Jahvinu imenu!”
