< 2 Chronicles 2 >
1 And Solomon ordered to build a house for the name of the Lord, and a house for his royal residence.
Salomon naumi sagraditi Dom - jedan Imenu Jahvinu, a drugi sebi za kraljevski dvorac.
2 And Solomon numbered seventy thousand men to bear burdens, and eighty thousand stonecutters in the mountain, and as superintendents over them three thousand and six hundred.
Odbroji sedamdeset tisuća nosača, osamdeset tisuća kamenolomaca u gori i tri tisuće i šest stotina poslovođa.
3 And Solomon sent to Churam the king of Tyre, saying, As thou hast dealt with David my father, and didst send him cedars to build him a house to dwell therein, [even so deal with me].
Tada posla ovu poruku Hiramu, tirskomu kralju: “Kao što si mome ocu Davidu slao cedrovine da gradi dvor gdje će živjeti, tako učini i meni.
4 Behold, I am building a house to the name of the Lord my God, to sanctify it to him, to burn before him incense of spices, and for the continual rows of show-bread, and for the burnt-offerings at morning and evening, on the sabbaths, and on the new-moons, and on the stated festivals of the Lord our God: this being for ever obligatory on Israel.
Kanim podići Dom Imenu Jahve, svojega Boga, i posvetiti mu ga da se diže pred njim miomirisni kad, da se uvijek postavljaju kruhovi, da se prinose paljenice jutrom i večerom, subotom, na dane mlađaka i na blagdane Jahve, Boga našega; i tako da zauvijek ostane u Izraelu.
5 And the house which I am building is great; for greater is our God than all the gods.
Dom koji gradim bit će velik, jer je naš Bog najveći među svim bozima.
6 But who possesseth the power to build him a house? for the heavens and the heavens of heavens cannot contain him: and who am I then, that I should build him a house, save only to burn incense before him?
TÓa tko bi imao dovoljno snage da njemu sazda Dom kad ga ni nebesa, ni nebesa nad nebesima ne mogu obuhvatiti? I tko sam ja da mu zidam Dom, osim zato da mu se kad diže pred lice?
7 And now send me a skilful man to work in gold, and in silver and in copper, and in iron, and in purple, and crimson, and blue, and that understandeth how to engrave with the skilful men that are with me in Judah and in Jerusalem whom David my father hath provided.
Pošalji mi čovjeka vična obradi zlata, srebra, tuča, željeza, grimiza, karmezina i ljubičastog baršuna, i vična umjetnosti rezbarstva: radit će s rukotvorcima kod mene u Judi i u Jeruzalemu, s onima što mi ih ostavi moj otac David.
8 Send me also cedar-trees, fir-trees, and sandal-wood, from the Lebanon; for I know well that thy servants have the skill to cut the trees of Lebanon: and, behold, my servants shall be with thy servants,
Pošalji mi iz Libanona cedrovine, čempresovine i sandalovine, jer znam da tvoje sluge umiju sjeći libanonska stabla. Moje će sluge raditi s tvojima.
9 Even to prepare for me timber in abundance; for the house which I am building is to be wonderfully great.
Morat će mi pripraviti mnogo drva, jer će kuća što je mislim graditi biti velika i veličanstvena.
10 And, behold, for the hewers that cut the timber will I give unto thy servants twenty thousand cors of threshed wheat, and twenty thousand cors of barley, and twenty thousand baths of wine, and twenty thousand baths of oil.
Drvosječama što će obarati stabla dajem dvadeset tisuća kora pšenice, dvadeset tisuća kora ječma, dvadeset tisuća bata vina i dvadeset tisuća bata ulja za izdržavanje tvojih slugu.”
11 Then answered Churam the king of Tyre in writing, and he sent it to Solomon, Out of the love of the Lord for his people hath he set thee as king over them.
Hiram, tirski kralj, odgovori pismom što ga posla Salomonu: “Zato što voli svoj narod, Jahve te zakraljio nad njim.”
12 And Churam said, Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel, that hath made the heavens and the earth, who hath given to king David a wise son, endowed with intelligence and understanding, who is to build a house unto the Lord, and a house for royal residence.
Dometnu još i ovo: “Neka je blagoslovljen Jahve, Bog Izraelov, koji je stvorio nebesa i zemlju. On je kralju Davidu dao mudra, pametna i umna sina koji će jedan dom graditi Jahvi, a drugi sebi da iz njega kraljuje.
13 And now have I sent a skilful man, endowed with understanding, namely, Churam-Abi,
Stoga ti šaljem čovjeka mudra, vješta i razumna, Hurama Abija,
14 The son of a woman from the daughters of Dan, while his father was a man of Tyre, skilful to work in gold, and in silver, in copper, in iron, in stone, and in wood, in purple, in blue, and in fine linen, and in crimson; also to execute any manner of engraving, and to devise every kind of work of art which may be given to him, together with thy skilful men, and skilful men of my lord David thy father.
sina jedne Danovke i oca Tirca. Umije obrađivati zlato, srebro, tuč, željezo, kamen, drvo, grimiz, ljubičasti baršun, bÓez i karmezin, umije rezbariti svakovrsne rezbarije i zamisliti svako djelo koje mu se povjeri. On će raditi s tvojim umjetnicima i umjetnicima moga gospodara Davida, tvoga oca.
15 And now the wheat, and the barley, the oil, and the wine, of which my lord hath spoken, let him send unto his servants:
Neka, dakle, sada moj gospodar svojim slugama pošalje pšenice, ječma, ulja i vina kako je obećao.
16 And we will truly cut down trees out of the Lebanon, as much as thou mayest need; and we will bring them to thee in boats by sea to Joppa; and thou shalt carry them up to Jerusalem.
A mi ćemo nasjeći stabala s Libanona koliko ti god treba i dovest ćemo ti ih na splavima morem u Jafu, a ti ih prevezi gore u Jeruzalem.”
17 And Solomon numbered all the strange men that were in the land of Israel, after the numbering wherewith David his father had numbered them; and they were found to be one hundred and fifty thousand and three thousand and six hundred.
Salomon pobroji sve strance koji se zatekoše u Izraelovoj zemlji poslije popisa što ga bijaše proveo njegov otac David i nađe ih sto pedeset tri tisuće i šest stotina.
18 And he made of them seventy thousand bearers of burdens, and eighty thousand stonecutters in the mountain, and three thousand and six hundred superintendents to set the people to work.
Od njih odredi sedamdeset tisuća nosača, osamdeset tisuća tesara u planini, tri tisuće i šest stotina ljudi da upravljaju radom naroda.
