1 Kraljevima 8

1 Tada sabra Solomun starješine Izrailjeve i sve glavare plemenske, knezove domova otaèkih sinova Izrailjevijeh, k sebi u Jerusalim da se prenese kovèeg zavjeta Gospodnjega iz grada Davidova, a to je Sion.

Then all the ancients of Israel with the princes of the tribes, and the heads of the families of the children of Israel were assembled to king Solomon in Jerusalem: that they might carry the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of the city of David, that is, out of Sion.

2 I skupiše se k caru Solomunu svi ljudi Izrailjevi mjeseca Etanima na praznik, a taj je mjesec sedmi.

And all Israel assembled themselves to king Solomon on the festival day in the month of Ethanim, the same is the seventh month.

3 I kad doðoše sve starješine Izrailjeve, podigoše sveštenici kovèeg;

And all the ancients of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark,

4 I prenesoše kovèeg Gospodnji i šator od sastanka i sve sude svete što bjehu u šatoru; prenesoše ih sveštenici i Leviti.

And carried the ark of the Lord, and the tabernacle of the covenant, and all the vessels of the sanctuary, that were in the tabernacle: and the priests and the Levites carried them.

5 A car Solomun i sav zbor Izrailjev, koji se sabra k njemu, prinesoše s njim pred kovèegom ovaca i goveda toliko da se ne mogaše ni izbrojiti ni proraèunati od mnoštva.

And king Solomon, and all the multitude of Israel, that were assembled unto him went with him before the ark, and they sacrificed sheep and oxen that could not be counted or numbered.

6 I unesoše sveštenici kovèeg zavjeta Gospodnjega na njegovo mjesto, u unutrašnji dom, u svetinju nad svetinjama, pod krila heruvimima.

And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the Lord into its place, into the oracle of the temple, into the holy of holies under the wings of the cherubims.

7 Jer heruvimima bijahu raširena krila nad mjestom gdje æe stajati kovèeg, i zaklanjahu heruvimi kovèeg i poluge njegove ozgo.

For the cherubims spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and covered the art, and the staves thereof above.

8 I povukoše mu poluge tako da se krajevi viðahu u svetinji na prednjoj strani svetinje nad svetinjama, ali se napolje ne viðahu; i ondje ostaše do današnjega dana.

And whereas the staves stood out, the ends of them were seen without in the sanctuary before the oracle, but were not seen farther out, and there they have been unto this day.

9 U kovèegu ne bješe ništa osim dvije ploèe kamene, koje metnu u nj Mojsije na Horivu, kad Gospod uèini zavjet sa sinovima Izrailjevijem pošto izidoše iz zemlje Misirske.

Now in the ark there was nothing else but the two tables of stone, which Moses put there at Horeb, when the Lord made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.

10 A kad sveštenici izidoše iz svetinje, oblak napuni dom Gospodnji,

And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the sanctuary, that a cloud filled the house of the Lord,

11 Te ne mogahu sveštenici stajati da služe od oblaka; jer se slave Gospodnje napuni dom Gospodnji.

And the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of the Lord.

12 Tada reèe Solomun: Gospod je rekao da æe nastavati u mraku.

Then Solomon said: The Lord said that he would dwell in a cloud.

13 Sazidah dom tebi za stan, mjesto, da u njemu nastavaš dovijeka.

Building I have built a house for thy dwelling, to be thy most firm throne for ever.

14 I okrenuvši se licem svojim car blagoslovi sav zbor Izrailjev, a sav zbor Izrailjev stajaše.

And the king turned his face, and blessed all the assembly of Israel: for all the assembly of Israel stood.

15 I reèe: blagosloven da je Gospod Bog Izrailjev, koji je govorio svojim ustima Davidu ocu mojemu i ispunio rukom svojom, govoreæi:

And Solomon said: Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David my father, and with his own hands hath accomplished it, saying:

16 Od onoga dana kad izvedoh iz Misira narod svoj Izrailja ne izabrah nijednoga grada meðu svijem plemenima Izrailjevijem da se sazida dom gdje bi bilo ime moje, nego izabrah Davida da bude nad narodom mojim Izrailjem.

Since the day that I brought my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel, for a house to be built, that my name might be there: but I chose David to be over my people Israel.

17 I naumi David otac moj da sazida dom imenu Gospoda Boga Izrailjeva.

And David my father would have built a house to the name of the Lord the God of Israel:

18 Ali Gospod reèe Davidu ocu mojemu: što si naumio sazidati dom imenu mojemu, dobro si uèinio što si to naumio;

And the Lord said to David my father: Whereas thou hast thought in thy heart to build a house to my name, thou hast done well in having this same thing in thy mind.

19 Ali neæeš ti sazidati toga doma, nego sin tvoj, koji æe izaæi iz bedara tvojih, on æe sazidati dom imenu mojemu.

Nevertheless thou shalt not build me a house, but thy son, that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build a house to my name.

20 I tako ispuni Gospod rijeè svoju koju reèe; jer ustah na mjesto oca svojega Davida, i sjedoh na prijesto Izrailjev, kao što reèe Gospod, i sazidah ovaj dom imenu Gospoda Boga Izrailjeva.

The Lord hath performed his word which he spoke: and I stand in the room of David my father, and sit upon the throne of Israel, as the Lord promised: and have built a house to the name of the Lord the God of Israel.

21 I odredih ovdje mjesto kovèegu u kom je zavjet Gospodnji što je uèinio s ocima našim kad ih je izveo iz zemlje Misirske.

And I have set there a place for the ark, wherein is the covenant of the Lord, which he made with our fathers, when they came out of the land of Egypt.

22 Potom stade Solomun pred oltar Gospodnji pred svijem zborom Izrailjevijem, i podiže ruke svoje k nebu,

And Solomon stood before the altar of the Lord in the sight of the assembly of Israel, and spread forth his hands towards heaven;

23 I reèe: Gospode Bože Izrailjev! nema Boga takoga kakav si ti gore na nebu ni dolje na zemlji, koji èuvaš zavjet i milost slugama svojim, koje hode pred tobom svijem srcem svojim;

And said: Lord God of Israel, there is no God like thee in heaven above, or on earth beneath: who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants that have walked before thee with all their heart.

24 Koji si ispunio sluzi svojemu Davidu ocu mojemu što si mu rekao; što si ustima svojim rekao to si rukom svojom ispunio, kao što se vidi danas.

Who hast kept with thy servant David my father what thou hast promised him: with thy mouth thou didst speak, and with thy hands thou hast performed, as this day proveth.

25 Sada dakle, Gospode Bože Izrailjev, drži sluzi svojemu Davidu ocu mojemu što si mu rekao govoreæi: neæe ti nestati èovjeka ispred mene koji bi sjedio na prijestolu Izrailjevu, samo ako sinovi tvoji ušèuvaju put svoj hodeæi preda mnom, kao što si ti hodio preda mnom.

Now therefore, O Lord God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father what thou hast spoken to him, saying: There shall not be taken away of thee a man in my sight, to sit on the throne of Israel: yet so that thy children take heed to their way, that they walk before me as thou hast walked in my sight.

26 Sada dakle, Bože Izrailjev, neka se potvrdi rijeè tvoja koju si rekao sluzi svojemu Davidu ocu mojemu.

And now, Lord God of Israel, let thy words be established, which thou hast spoken to thy servant David my father.

27 Ali hoæe li doista Bog stanovati na zemlji? Eto, nebo i nebesa nad nebesima ne mogu te obuhvatiti, akamoli ovaj dom što ga sazidah?

Is it then to be thought that God should indeed dwell upon earth? for if heaven, and the heavens of heavens cannot contain thee, how much less this house which I have built?

28 Ali pogledaj na molitvu sluge svojega i na molbu njegovu, Gospode Bože moj, èuj viku i molitvu, kojim ti se danas moli sluga tvoj;

But have regard to the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplications, O Lord my God: hear the hymn and the prayer, which thy servant prayeth before thee this day:

29 Da budu oèi tvoje otvorene nad domom ovijem dan i noæ, nad ovijem mjestom, za koje si rekao: tu æe biti ime moje; da èuješ molitvu kojom æe se moliti sluga tvoj na ovom mjestu.

That thy eyes may be open upon this house night and day: upon the house of which thou hast said: My name shall be there: that thou mayest hearken to the prayer, which thy servant prayeth in this place to thee.

30 Èuj molbu sluge svojega i naroda svojega Izrailja, kojom æe se moliti na ovom mjestu; èuj s mjesta gdje stanuješ, s neba, èuj, i smiluj se.

That thou mayest hearken to the supplication of thy servant and of thy people Israel, whatsoever they shall pray for in this place, and hear them in the place of thy dwelling in heaven; and when thou hearest, shew them mercy.

31 Kad ko zgriješi bližnjemu svojemu te mu se da zakletva da se zakune, i zakletva doðe pred tvoj oltar u ovom domu,

If any man trespass against his neighbour, and have an oath upon him, wherewith he is bound: and come because of the oath before thy altar to thy house,

32 Ti èuj s neba, i uèini i sudi slugama svojim, osuðujuæi krivca i djela njegova obraæajuæi na njegovu glavu, a pravoga pravdajuæi i plaæajuæi mu po pravdi njegovoj.

Then hear thou in heaven: and do, and judge thy servants, condemning the wicked, and bringing his way upon his own head, and justifying the just, and rewarding him according to his justice.

33 Kad razbiju neprijatelji narod tvoj Izrailja zato što ti zgriješe, pa se obrate k tebi i dadu slavu imenu tvojemu, i pomole ti se i zamole te u ovom domu,

If thy people Israel shall fly before their enemies, (because they will sin against thee, ) and doing penance, and confessing to thy name, shall come, and pray, and make supplications to thee in this house:

34 Ti èuj s neba, i oprosti grijeh narodu svojemu Izrailju, i dovedi ih opet u zemlju koju si dao ocima njihovijem.

Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them back to the land which thou gavest to their fathers.

35 Kad se zatvori nebo, te ne bude dažda zato što zgriješe tebi, pa ti se zamole na ovom mjestu i dadu slavu imenu tvojemu, i od grijeha se svojega obrate, kad ih namuèiš,

If heaven shall be shut up, and there shall be no rain, because of their sins, and they praying in this place, shall do penance to thy name, and shall be converted from their sins, by occasion of their afflictions:

36 Ti èuj s neba, i oprosti grijeh slugama svojim i narodu svojemu Izrailju pokazav im put dobri kojim æe hoditi, i pusti dažd na zemlju svoju, koju si dao narodu svojemu u našljedstvo.

Then hear thou them in heaven, and forgive the sins of thy servants, and of thy people Israel: and shew them the good way wherein they should walk, and give rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy people in possession.

37 Kad bude glad u zemlji, kad bude pomor, suša, medljika, skakavci, gusjenice, ili kad ga pritijesni neprijatelj njegov u zemlji njegovoj vlastitoj, ili kako god zlo, kaka god bolest,

If a famine arise in the land, or a pestilence, or corrupt air, or blasting, or locust, or mildew, if their enemy afflict them besieging the gates, whatsoever plague, whatsoever infirmity,

38 Svaku molbu i svaku molitvu, koja bude od koga god èovjeka ili od svega tvojega naroda Izrailja, ko pozna muku srca svojega i podigne ruke svoje u ovom domu,

Whatsoever curse or imprecation shall happen to any man of thy people Israel: when a man shall know the wound of his own heart, and shall spread forth his hands in this house,

39 Ti èuj s neba, iz stana svojega, i smiluj se i uèini i podaj svakome po svijem putovima njegovijem, koje znaš u srcu njegovu; jer ti sam znaš srca svijeh sinova èovjeèijih;

Then hear thou in heaven, in the place of thy dwelling, and forgive, and do so as to give to every one according to his ways, as thou shalt see his heart (for thou only knowest the heart of all the children of men)

40 Da te se boje dokle su god živi na zemlji koju si dao ocima našim.

That they may fear thee all the days that they live upon the face of the land, which thou hast given to our fathers.

41 I stranac, koji nije od tvojega naroda Izrailja, nego doðe iz daljnje zemlje imena tvojega radi,

Moreover also the stranger, who is not of thy people Israel, when he shall come out of a far country for thy name’s sake, (for they shall hear everywhere of thy great name and thy mighty hand,

42 Jer æe se èuti za ime tvoje veliko i za ruku tvoju krjepku i mišicu tvoju podignutu) kad doðe i pomoli se u ovom domu,

And thy stretched out arm, ) so when he shall come, and shall pray in this place,

43 Ti èuj s neba, iz stana svojega, i uèini sve za što povièe k tebi onaj stranac, da bi poznali ime tvoje svi narodi na zemlji i bojali se tebe kao narod tvoj Izrailj, i da bi znali da je ime tvoje prizvano nad ovijem domom, koji sazidah.

Then hear thou in heaven, in the firmament of thy dwelling place, and do all those things, for which that stranger shall call upon thee: that all the people of the earth may learn to fear thy name, as do thy people Israel, and may prove that thy name is called upon on this house, which I have built.

44 Kad narod tvoj izide na vojsku na neprijatelja svojega putem kojim ga pošlješ, i pomole se Gospodu obrativši se ka gradu, koji si izabrao, i k domu, koji sam sazidao imenu tvojemu,

If thy people go out to war against their enemies, by what way soever thou shalt send them, they shall pray to thee towards the way of the city, which thou hast chosen, and towards the house, which I have built to thy name:

45 Èuj s neba molbu njihovu, i podaj im pravicu.

And then hear thou in heaven their prayers, and their supplications, and do judgment for them.

46 Kad ti zgriješe, jer nema èovjeka koji ne griješi, i razgnjevivši se na njih daš ih neprijateljima njihovijem, te ih zarobe i odvedu u zemlju neprijateljsku daleko ili blizu,

But if they sin against thee (for there is no man who sinneth not) and thou being angry deliver them up to their enemies, so that they be led away captives into the land of their enemies far or near;

47 Ako se dozovu u zemlji u koju budu odvedeni u ropstvo, i obrate se i stanu ti se moliti u zemlji onijeh koji ih zarobiše, i reku: sagriješismo i zlo uèinismo, skrivismo,

Then if they do penance in their heart in the place of captivity, and being converted make supplication to thee in their captivity, saying: We have sinned, we have done unjustly, we have committed wickedness:

48 I tako se obrate k tebi svijem srcem svojim i svom dušom svojom u zemlji neprijatelja svojih, koji ih zarobe, i pomole ti se okrenuvši se k zemlji svojoj, koju si dao ocima njihovijem, ka gradu, koji si izabrao, i k domu, koji sam sazidao imenu tvojemu,

And return to thee with all their heart, and all their soul, in the land of their enemies, to which they had been led captives: and pray to thee towards the way of their land, which thou gavest to their fathers, and of the city which thou hast chosen, and of the temple which I have built to thy name:

49 Tada èuj s neba, iz stana svojega, molbu njihovu i molitvu njihovu, i podaj im pravicu,

Then hear thou in heaven, in the firmament of thy throne, their prayers, and their supplications, and do judgment for them:

50 I oprosti narodu svojemu što ti budu zgriješili, i sve prijestupe kojima ti budu prestupili, i umilostivi im one koji ih zarobe da se smiluju na njih.

And forgive thy people, that have sinned against thee, and all their iniquities, by which they have transgressed against thee: and give them mercy before them that have made them captives, that they may have compassion on them.

51 Jer su tvoj narod i tvoje našljedstvo, koje si izveo iz Misira, isred peæi gvozdene.

For they are thy people, and thy inheritance, whom thou hast brought out of the land of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron.

52 Neka budu oèi tvoje otvorene na molbu sluge tvojega i na molbu naroda tvojega Izrailja, i èuj ih kad te god prizovu.

That thy eyes may be open to the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, to hear them in all things for which they shall call upon thee.

53 Jer si ih ti odvojio sebi za našljedstvo od svijeh naroda na zemlji, kao što si rekao preko Mojsija sluge svojega, kad si izveo oce naše iz Misira, Gospode, Gospode!

For thou hast separated them to thyself for an inheritance from among all the people of the earth, as thou hast spoken by Moses thy servant, when thou broughtest our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord God.

54 A kad Solomun moleæi se Gospodu svrši svu ovu molbu i molitvu, usta ispred oltara Gospodnjega, gdje bješe klekao i ruke svoje podigao k nebu;

And it came to pass, when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication to the Lord, that he rose from before the altar of the Lord: for he had fixed both knees on the ground, and had spread his hands towards heaven.

55 I stojeæi blagoslovi sav zbor Izrailjev, glasom velikim govoreæi:

And he stood and blessed all the assembly of Israel with a, loud voice, saying:

56 Blagosloven da je Gospod koji je smirio narod svoj Izrailja, kao što je govorio; nije izostala nijedna rijeè od svijeh dobrijeh rijeèi njegovijeh, koje je govorio preko Mojsija sluge svojega.

Blessed be the Lord, who hath given rest to his people Israel, according to all that he promised: there hath not failed so much as one word of all the good things that he promised by his servant Moses.

57 Da Gospod Bog naš bude s nama kao što je bio s ocima našim, da nas ne ostavi i ne napusti.

The Lord our God be with us, as he was with our fathers, and not leave us, nor cast us off:

58 Nego neka prigne srce naše k sebi da bismo hodili svijem putovima njegovijem i držali zapovijesti njegove i uredbe njegove i zakone njegove, što je zapovjedio ocima našim.

But may he incline our hearts to himself, that we may walk in all his ways, and keep his commandments, and his ceremonies, and all his judgments which he commanded our fathers.

59 I neka budu ove rijeèi moje, kojima se molih Gospodu, blizu Gospoda Boga našega dan i noæ, da bi davao pravicu sluzi svojemu i narodu svojemu Izrailju u svako doba;

And let these my words, wherewith I have prayed before the Lord, he nigh unto the Lord our God day and night, that he may do judgment for his servant, and for his people Israel day by day:

60 Da bi poznali svi narodi na zemlji da je Gospod sam Bog i da nema drugoga.

That all the people of the earth may know, that the Lord he is God, and there is no other besides him.

61 I neka srce vaše bude cijelo prema Gospodu Bogu našem, da hodite po uredbama njegovijem i držite zapovijesti njegove kao danas.

Let our hearts also be perfect with the Lord our God, that we may walk in his statutes, and keep his commandments, as at this day.

62 Tada car i sav Izrailj s njim prinesoše žrtve pred Gospodom.

And the king, and all Israel him, offered victims before the Lord.

63 I Solomun prinese na žrtvu zahvalnu, koju prinese Gospodu, dvadeset i dvije tisuæe volova i sto i dvadeset tisuæa ovaca. Tako posvetiše dom Gospodnji car i svi sinovi Izrailjevi.

And Solomon slew victims of peace offerings, which he sacrificed to the Lord, two and twenty thousand oxen, and hundred and twenty thousand sheep: so the king, and the children of Israel dedicated the temple of the Lord.

64 U taj dan posveti car sredinu trijema koji je pred domom Gospodnjim; jer ondje prinese žrtve paljenice i dare i pretilinu od žrtava zahvalnijeh; jer mjedeni oltar koji bijaše pred Gospodom bijaše malen i ne mogahu na nj stati žrtve paljenice i dari i pretilina od žrtava zahvalnijeh.

In that day the king sanctified the middle of the court that was before the house of the Lord: for there he offered the holocaust, and sacrifice, and fat of the peace offerings: because the brazen altar that was before the Lord, was too little to receive the holocaust, and sacrifice, and fat of the peace offerings.

65 I u to vrijeme praznova Solomun praznik i sav Izrailj s njim, sabor velik od ulaska u Emat do potoka Misirskoga, pred Gospodom Bogom našim, sedam dana i opet sedam dana, to je èetrnaest dana.

And Solomon made at the same time a solemn feast, and all Israel with him, a great multitude from the entrance of Emath to the river of Egypt, before the Lord our God, seven days and seven days, that is, fourteen days.

66 A u osmi dan otpusti narod; i blagosloviše cara i otidoše k šatorima svojim radujuæi se i veseleæi se u srcu za sve dobro što uèini Gospod Davidu sluzi svojemu i Izrailju narodu svojemu.

And on the eighth day he sent away the people: and they blessed the king, and went to their dwellings rejoicing, and glad in heart for all the good things that the Lord had done for David his servant, and for Israel his people.
