2 Chronicles 7
1 And when Solomon had made an end of praying, a fire came down from heaven, and consumed the burnt-offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of the Lord filled the house.
Kad Salomon dovrši molitvu, spusti se oganj s neba i spali paljenicu i klanice i slava Jahvina ispuni Dom.
2 And the priests were not able to enter into the house of the Lord; because the glory of the Lord had filled the Lord's house.
Svećenici ne mogoše ući, jer slava Jahvina bješe ispunila Dom Jahvin.
3 And all the children of Israel were looking on as the fire came down, and the glory of the Lord [was resting] upon the house; and they kneeled down with their faces to the ground upon the pavement, and prostrated themselves, and gave thanks unto the Lord, for he is good; because unto everlasting endureth his kindness.
Svi sinovi Izraelovi, videći gdje se oganj sa slavom Jahvinom spustio na Dom, padoše ničice k zemlji do kamenog poda; pokloniv se, počeše slaviti Jahvu “jer je dobar i jer je vječna njegova ljubav”.
4 And the king and all the people offered sacrifices before the Lord.
Potom kralj i čitav narod stadoše žrtvovati žrtve pred Jahvom.
5 And king Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty and two thousand oxen, and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep: and so they dedicated the house of God, the king and all the people.
Kralj Salomon prinese za žrtvu dvadeset i dvije tisuće goveda, sto i dvadeset tisuća ovaca; i tako posvetiše Dom Jahvin i kralj i sav narod.
6 And the priests were standing on their stations, and the Levites with the instruments of the music of the Lord, which king David had made to give thanks unto the Lord, because unto everlasting endureth his kindness, with the song of praise of David in their hand; and the priests blew the trumpets opposite to them, and all Israel were standing.
Dok su svećenici stajali na dužnostima, leviti su na glazbalima za Jahvine pjesme, što ih učini kralj David, slavili Jahvu “jer je vječna njegova ljubav”. Time je David preko njihovih ruku hvalio Jahvu. Pred njima su svećenici trubili u trube, dok su Izraelci stajali.
7 And Solomon hallowed the interior of the court that was before the house of the Lord; for he prepared there the burnt-offerings, and the fat of the peace-offerings; because the copper altar which Solomon had made was not able to contain the burnt-offerings, and the meat-offerings, and the fat.
Salomon je posvetio i sredinu predvorja koje je pred Jahvinim Domom, jer je ondje prinio paljenice i pretilinu od pričesnica, jer na tučani žrtvenik koji bijaše napravio Salomon nisu mogle stati paljenice ni prinosi ni pretilina.
8 And Solomon held the feast at that time seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great assembly, from the entrance of Chamath unto the river of Egypt.
U to je doba Salomon svetkovao blagdan sedam dana i sav Izrael s njime, vrlo velik zbor, od Ulaza u Hamat pa do Egipatskoga potoka.
9 And they held on the eighth day a solemn assembly; for the dedication of the altar they held seven days, and the feast seven days.
A osmoga su dana svetkovali svečani zbor, jer su posvetu žrtveniku svetkovali sedam dana i blagdan sedam dana.
10 And on the three-and-twentieth day of the seventh month he dismissed the people unto their tents, joyful and glad of heart because of the good that the Lord had done for David, and for Solomon, and for Israel his people.
Dvadeset trećega dana sedmoga mjeseca posla ljude k njihovim šatorima i odoše vesela i zadovoljna srca zbog dobra koje je Jahve učinio Davidu i Salomonu i svem narodu izraelskom.
11 Thus did Solomon complete the house of the Lord, and the king's house; and [in] all that came into Solomon's heart to make in the house of the Lord, and in his own house, he prospered.
Tako je Salomon dovršio Dom Jahvin i kraljevski dvor i izveo sve što god bješe zasnovano da izvrši u Domu Jahvinu i u svojem dvoru.
12 Then appeared the Lord to Solomon during the night, and said unto him, I have heard thy prayer, and I have made choice of this place for myself as a house of sacrifice.
Potom se Jahve ukaza Salomonu noću i reče mu: “Uslišao sam tvoju molitvu i izabrao to mjesto da mi bude Dom žrtve.
13 If I shut up the heavens that there be no rain, or if I give a charge to the locusts to devour off the land, or if I send a pestilence among my people:
Ako zatvorim nebo da ne bude dažda, ili zapovjedim skakavcima da popasu zemlju, ili pustim kugu na svoj narod,
14 And if my people, over whom my name is called, do then humble themselves, and pray, and seek my presence, and turn away from their evil ways: then will I also hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
i ponizi se moj narod na koji je prizvano Ime moje i pomoli se i potraži lice moje i okani se zlih putova, ja ću ga tada uslišati s neba i oprostiti mu grijeh i izliječit ću mu zemlju.
15 Now, my eyes shall be open, and my ears attentive unto the prayer on this place.
Moje će oči biti otvorene i moje uši pažljive na molitvu s ovoga mjesta.
16 And now I have chosen and hallowed this house, that my name may be there for ever; and my eyes and my heart shall be there at all times.
Sada sam, dakle, izabrao i posvetio ovaj Dom da ovdje bude Ime moje zauvijek i ovdje će sve dane biti moje oči i moje srce.
17 And as for thee, if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father hath walked, so as to do in accordance with all that I have commanded thee, and wilt keep my statutes and my ordinances:
A ti, budeš li išao preda mnom kako ti je išao otac David, vršeći sve što sam ti zapovjedio i držeći se mojih uredaba i zakona,
18 Then will I establish the throne of thy kingdom, just as I have covenanted with David thy father, saying, There shall never fail thee a man to be ruler in Israel.
uzdržat ću tvoje kraljevsko prijestolje kako sam obećao tvome ocu Davidu govoreći: 'Neće ti ponestati nasljednika koji bi vladao u Izraelu.'
19 But if ye will indeed turn away, and forsake my statutes and my commandments, which I have set before you, and will go and serve other gods, and bow down to them:
Ali ako me ostavite i napustite uredbe i zapovijedi koje sam vam dao te otiđete i počnete služiti tuđim bogovima i klanjati im se,
20 Then will I pluck them up out of my land which I have given unto them; and this house, which I have hallowed for my name, will I cast away from my sight, and I will render it to be for a proverb and for a by-word among all the people.
istjerat ću Izraelce iz svoje zemlje koju sam im dao i odbacit ću od sebe ovaj Dom koji sam posvetio svojem Imenu i učinit ću od njega priču i sramotu među svim narodima.
21 And this house, which hath been so exalted, shall become an astonishment to every one that passeth by it: so that he will say, Why hath the Lord done thus unto this land, and unto this house?
Tko god prođe mimo ovaj Dom koji bijaše preslavan zaprepastit će se od užasa i pitati: 'Zašto je Jahve tako učinio s ovom zemljom i s ovim Domom?'
22 And men shall then say, For the cause that they forsook the Lord the God of their fathers, who had brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, and they took hold of other gods, and bowed down to them, and served them: therefore hath he brought upon them all this evil.
I odgovorit će mu se: 'Ostavili su Jahvu, Boga svojih otaca, koji ih je izveo iz Egipta, i okrenuli se tuđinskim bogovima, i klanjali im se, i služili im, i zato je Jahve pustio na njih sve ovo zlo.'”
