< 2 Chronicles 2 >

1 And Solomon determined to build a house for the name of the LORD, and a house for his kingdom.
Salomon naumi sagraditi Dom - jedan Imenu Jahvinu, a drugi sebi za kraljevski dvorac.
2 And Solomon numbered out seventy thousand men to bear burdens, and eighty thousand to hew in the mountain, and three thousand and six hundred to oversee them.
Odbroji sedamdeset tisuća nosača, osamdeset tisuća kamenolomaca u gori i tri tisuće i šest stotina poslovođa.
3 And Solomon sent to Huram the king of Tyre, saying, As thou didst deal with David my father, and didst send him cedars to build him a house to dwell in it, [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 build a house to the name of the LORD my God, to dedicate [it] to him, [and] to burn before him sweet incense, and for the continual show-bread, and for the burnt-offerings morning and evening, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts of the LORD our God. This [is an ordinance] for ever to 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 build [is] great: for great [is] our God above all gods.
Dom koji gradim bit će velik, jer je naš Bog najveći među svim bozima.
6 But who is able to build him a house, seeing the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain him? who [am] I then that I should build him a house, save only to burn sacrifice 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 Send me now therefore a man skillful to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in iron, and in purple, and crimson, and blue, and that hath skill to grave with the skillful men that [are] with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father 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 algum trees out of Lebanon: for I know that thy servants have skill to cut timber in 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 me timber in abundance: for the house which I am about to build [shall be] wonderfully great.
Morat će mi pripraviti mnogo drva, jer će kuća što je mislim graditi biti velika i veličanstvena.
10 And behold, I will give to thy servants, the hewers that cut timber, twenty thousand measures of beaten wheat, and twenty thousand measures 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 Huram the king of Tyre answered in writing, which he sent to Solomon, Because the LORD hath loved his people, he hath made thee king over them.
Hiram, tirski kralj, odgovori pismom što ga posla Salomonu: “Zato što voli svoj narod, Jahve te zakraljio nad njim.”
12 Huram said moreover, Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel, that made heaven and earth, who hath given to David the king a wise son, endued with prudence and understanding, that may build a house for the LORD, and a house for his kingdom.
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 I have sent a skillful man, endued with understanding, of Huram my father's,
Stoga ti šaljem čovjeka mudra, vješta i razumna, Hurama Abija,
14 The son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, and his father [was] a man of Tyre, skillful to work in gold, and in silver, in brass, in iron, in stone, and in timber, in purple, in blue, and in fine linen, and in crimson; also to engrave any manner of engraving, and to find out every device which shall be put to him, with thy skillful men, and with the skillful 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 Now therefore the wheat, and the barley, the oil, and the wine which my lord hath spoken of, let him send to his servants;
Neka, dakle, sada moj gospodar svojim slugama pošalje pšenice, ječma, ulja i vina kako je obećao.
16 And we will cut wood out of Lebanon, as much as thou shalt need: and we will bring it to thee in floats by sea to Joppa; and thou mayest convey it 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 strangers that [were] in the land of Israel, after the numbering with which David his father had numbered them; and they were found a 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 set seventy thousand of them [to be] bearers of burdens, and eighty thousand [to be] hewers in the mountain, and three thousand and six hundred overseers 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.
