2 Chronicles 8
1 Solomon’s [workers] worked for 20 years to build the temple and the king’s palace.
А кад прође двадесет година, у које сазида Соломун дом Господњи и дом свој,
2 Then his [workers] rebuilt the cities that [King] Hiram had given back to Solomon, and Solomon sent Israelis to live in those cities.
Погради Соломун градове, које му даде Хирам, и насели онуда синове Израиљеве.
3 Solomon’s [army] then went to Hamath-Zobah [town] and captured it.
Потом отиде Соломун на Емат совски, и освоји га.
4 His workers also rebuilt walls around Tadmor [town] in the desert, and in [the] Hamath [region] in all the towns where they kept supplies.
И сазида Тадмор у пустињи и све градове за житнице сазида у Емату.
5 They rebuilt Upper Beth-Horon [town] and Lower Beth-Horon [city], and built walls around them with gates [in the walls] and bars [to fasten the gates].
Сазида и Вет-Орон горњи и Вет-Орон доњи, тврде градове са зидовима, вратима и преворницама,
6 They also rebuilt Baalath [town] and all the cities where supplies were kept and the cities where Solomon’s chariots and horses were kept. Solomon’s [workers] built whatever he wanted them to build, in Jerusalem and in Lebanon, and in other places in the area that he ruled.
И Валат и све градове у којима Соломун имаше житнице, и градове у којима му беху кола, и градове у којима беху коњаници, и шта год Соломуну би воља зидати у Јерусалиму и на Ливану и у свој земљи царства свог.
7 Solomon forced people from many other groups who were not Israelis to work for him like slaves. They were people from the Heth, Amor, Periz, Hiv, and Jebus people-groups.
И сав народ што беше остао од Хетеја и од Амореја и од Ферезеја и од Јевеја и од Јевусеја, који не беху код Израиља,
8 They were descendants of groups whom the Israelis had not completely destroyed. Solomon forced them to become his slaves, and they are still slaves.
Од синова њихових који беху остали иза њих у земљи, којих не потрше синови Израиљеви, њих нагна Соломун да плаћају данак до данашњег дана.
9 But Solomon did not force Israelis to work for him. Israelis became his soldiers and commanders of his chariots and his chariot-drivers.
А од синова Израиљевих, којих не учини Соломун робовима за свој посао, него беху војници и поглавари над војводама његовим, и заповедници над колима и коњаницима његовим,
10 They were also King Solomon’s chief officials. There were 250 of them, and they supervised the workers.
Од њих беше главних настојника, које имаше цар Соломун, двеста и педесет, који управљаху народом.
11 Solomon moved his wife, who was the daughter of the king of Egypt, from [the place outside Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’ to the place that his workers had built for her. He said, “I do not want my wife to live in the palace that [my father] King David’s workers built, because the Sacred Chest [was in that palace for a while], and any place where the Sacred Chest has been is holy.”
И кћер фараонову пресели Соломун из града Давидовог у дом који јој сазида, јер рече: Неће седети жена моја у дому Давида цара Израиљевог, јер је свет што је дошао у њ ковчег Господњи.
12 On the altar that Solomon’s [workers] had built in front of the entrance [to the temple], Solomon sacrificed many offerings that were to be completely burned.
Тада приношаше Соломун жртве паљенице Господу на олтару Господњем који начини пред тремом,
13 He did that to obey the rules about what sacrifices Moses had declared should be made. These included sacrifices for every day and for the Sabbath days and to celebrate each day on which there was a new moon and for the three other festivals that were celebrated each year. Those festivals were the Festival of Eating Unleavened Bread, the Harvest Festival, and the Festival of Living in Temporary Shelters.
Шта требаше од дана на дан приносити по заповести Мојсијевој, у суботе и на младине и на празнике, три пута у години, на празник пресних хлебова и на празник седмица и на празник сеница.
14 Obeying what his father David had commanded, he appointed the groups of priests for their work, and he appointed the descendants of Levi to lead the people while they sang to praise Yahweh and while they assisted the priests in their daily work. He also appointed groups of them to guard all the gates, because that was also what David, the man who pleased God [very well], had commanded.
И постави по наредби Давида оца свог редове свештеничке према служби њиховој, и левитске према дужности њиховој, да хвале Бога и служе пред свештеницима како треба сваки дан, и вратаре по редовима њиховим како треба над сваким вратима; јер таква беше заповест Давида, човека Божијег.
15 The priests and other descendants of Levi obeyed completely everything that the king commanded, including [taking care of] the storerooms.
И не одступише од заповести цареве за свештенике и Левите ни у чем, ни за ризнице.
16 They did all the work [of building the temple] that Solomon told them to do, until it was all completed. So they finishing building the temple.
Тако се сврши све дело Соломуново од оног дана кад би основан дом Господњи па докле га не доврши, и готов би дом Господњи.
17 Then some of Solomon’s men went to Ezion-Geber and Elath [cities] on the coast of the Red Sea, an area that belonged to the Edom people-group.
Тада отиде Соломун у Есион-Гавер и у Елот на брегу морском у земљи едомској.
18 King Hiram sent to Solomon from [Tyre city] some ships that were commanded by his officers. They were men who were experienced sailors. These men went in the ships with Solomon’s men to [the] Ophir [region] and brought back about 17 tons of gold, which they delivered to King Solomon.
А Хирам посла му по својим слугама лађе и слуге веште мору, и отидоше са слугама Соломуновим у Офир и узеше оданде четири стотине и педесет таланата злата и донесоше цару Соломуну.
