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, did Solomon call together the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, chiefs of the fathers of the sons of Israel, unto King Solomon in Jerusalem, —that they might bring up the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, out of the city of David, the same is Zion.

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

So all the men of Israel came together unto King Solomon, in the month of steady flowings, at the festival, —the same is the seventh month.

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

And all the elders of Israel came in, —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 they brought up the ark of Yahweh, and the Tent of Meeting, and all the hallowed vessels that were in the tent, —yea, the priests and the Levites, did bring them up.

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 assembly of Israel who had assembled themselves unto him, were with him, before the ark, —sacrificing sheep and oxen, which could neither be recorded nor counted, for multitude.

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

So the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of Yahweh into its place, into the shrine of the house, into the holy of holies, —under the wings of the cherubim.

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

For, the cherubim, were spreading forth their two wings, over the place of the ark, —and the cherubim made a covering over the ark and over 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 they drew out the staves, and the heads of the staves were seen from the holy place, in front of the shrine, although they were not seen on the outside, —and they have remained there until 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.

There was nothing in the ark, save the two tables of stone, which Moses deposited there in Horeb, —the tables of the covenant which Yahweh solemnised with the sons of Israel, when they came forth out of the land of Egypt.

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

And so it was, when the priests came forth out of the holy place, that, a cloud, filled the house of Yahweh;

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

so that the priests could not stand to minister, because of the cloud, —for, the glory of Yahweh, filled, the house of Yahweh.

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

Then, said Solomon, —Yahweh, said, that he would make his habitation in thick gloom:

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

I have, built, a house as a high abode for thee, —A settled place for thee to abide in, for ages.

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

And the king turned about his face, and blessed all the convocation of Israel, —while all the convocation of Israel was standing;

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

and he said—Blessed, be Yahweh, God of Israel, who spake with his mouth, unto David my father, —that which with his hand he hath fulfilled, 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 forth my people Israel, out of Egypt, I had chosen no city, out of all the tribes of Israel, for building a house, where my Name might be, —but I have chosen Jerusalem, that my Name should be there, and I have chosen David, to be over my people Israel:

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

And so it came to pass, that it was near the heart of David my father, —to build a house for the Name of Yahweh, God of Israel.

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

Then said Yahweh unto David my father, Because it was near thy heart to build a house for my Name, thou didst well that it was near thy heart;

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

Only, thou thyself, must not build the house, —but, thine own son who hath proceeded out of thy loins, he, shall build the house, for 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.

So then Yahweh hath established his word which he spake, —and I have been raised up in the room of David my father, and have taken my seat upon the throne of Israel, as spake Yahweh, and have built the house for the Name of Yahweh, 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 have appointed there a place for the ark, wherein is the covenant of Yahweh, —which he solemnised with our fathers, when he brought them forth 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 Yahweh, in the presence of all the convocation of Israel, —and spread forth his hands towards the heavens;

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—O Yahweh, God of Israel! Not like thee, is there a God, in the heavens above, or upon the earth beneath, —keeping Covenant and Lovingkindness for thy servants who are walking 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 for thy servant David my father, that which thou didst promise him, —in that thou didst promise with thy mouth, and, with thy hand, hast fulfilled, as it is this day.

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 Yahweh, God of Israel, keep thou for thy servant David my father, that which thou didst promise him, saying, There shall not be cut off to thee a man from before me, to sit upon the throne of Israel, —if only, thy sons take heed to their way, by walking before me, as thou hast walked before me.

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

Now, therefore, O God of Israel, —verified be thy word, I pray thee, which thou didst speak 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?

But, in very deed, will God dwell, upon the earth? Lo! the heaven, yea the heaven 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;

Yet wilt thou turn unto the prayer of thy servant, and unto his supplication, O Yahweh my God, —to hearken unto the cry, and unto the prayer, wherewith thy servant doth pray before thee to-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 thine eye may be opened toward this house, night and day, toward the place of which thou hast said, My Name shall be, there; hearkening unto the prayer which thy servant shall offer toward this place.

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.

Wilt, thou, therefore, hearken unto the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, whensoever they shall pray toward this place, —yea wilt, thou thyself, hear, in thine own dwelling-place, in the heavens, and, when thou hearest, then wilt thou forgive?

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

When a man shall sin against his neighbour, and there shall be taken up against him an oath, to put him on oath, —and he shall come in and swear before thine altar, in this 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 wilt, thou thyself, hear in the heavens, and act, and judge thy servants, condemning the lawless, by setting his way upon his own head, —and justifying the righteous, by giving to him, according to his righteousness?

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,

When thy people Israel are smitten before an enemy, because they have been sinning against thee, —and they turn again unto thee, and confess thy Name, and pray and make supplication unto 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 wilt, thou thyself, hear in the heavens, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them back unto the soil, which thou gavest unto 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,

When the heavens are shut up, and there is no rain, because they have been sinning against thee, —and they shall pray toward this place, and confess thy Name, and, from their sin, shall return, because thou hast been afflicting them,

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 wilt, thou thyself, hear in the heavens and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, that thou mayest teach them the good way, wherein they should walk, —and give rain upon thy land, which thou hast given unto thy people, for an inheritance?

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,

When there shall be, famine, in the land, when there shall be, pestilence, when there shall be, blasting, mildew locust, caterpillar, when their enemy shall besiege them in one of their own gates, —whatsoever plague, whatsoever sickness;

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,

any prayer, any supplication which, any son of earth, may have, of all thy people Israel, —who will certainly know every man the plague of his own heart, and so he shall spread abroad his hands towards 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 wilt, thou thyself, hear in the heavens, in the settled place of thine abode, and forgive and act, and give unto every man according to all his ways, whose heart thou wilt know, —for, thou thyself alone, knowest the heart of all the sons of men;

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

to the end they may revere thee, all the days which they do live, upon the face of the soil, —which thou gavest unto our fathers?

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

Moreover also, unto the stranger, who is, not of thy people Israel, —but hath come in out of a far country, for the sake of thy Name, —

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,

(for they will certainly hear of thy great Name, and of thy strong hand, and of thy stretched-out arm, —and so will come in and pray towards this house),

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.

wilt, thou thyself, hear in the heavens, the settled place of thine abode, and act, according to all for which, the stranger, shall cry unto thee, —to the end that all the peoples of the earth may truly know thy Name, so as to revere thee, like thy people Israel, and to know that, thine own Name, hath been given unto 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,

When thy people go forth to war against their enemy, whithersoever thou mayest send them, —and shall pray unto Yahweh, in the direction of the city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy Name,

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

then wilt thou hear, in the heavens, their prayer and their supplication, —and maintain their cause?

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,

When they sin against thee—for there is, no son of earth, that sinneth not, and thou shalt be angry with them, and deliver them up before an enemy, —who shall carry them away as their captives, into the land of the enemy, 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,

and they come back to their right mind, in the land whither they have been taken captive, —and so turn and make supplication unto thee, in the land of their captors, saying, We have sinned and done perversely, we have been lawless;

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 so they turn unto thee with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their enemies, who have carried them away captive, —and pray unto thee in the direction of their own land, which thou gavest unto their fathers, the city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy Name,

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

then wilt thou hearken in the heavens, the settled place of thine abode, unto their prayer, and unto their supplication, —and maintain their cause;

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 grant forgiveness to thy people, who have sinned against thee, even as to all their transgressions wherein they have transgressed against thee, —and grant them compassion before their captors, so that they may have compassion upon them;

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

because, thy people and thine inheritance, they are, —whom thou didst bring forth out of Egypt, out of the midst of the smelting-pot 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 thine eyes may be open unto the supplication of thy servant, and unto the supplication of thy people Israel, —to hearken unto them, in all their crying unto 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!

because, thou thyself, didst separate them unto thee, for an inheritance, out of all the peoples of the earth, —as thou spakest by the hand of Moses thy servant, when thou broughtest forth our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord Yahweh.

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 unto Yahweh all this prayer and supplication, that he arose from before the altar of Yahweh, from kneeling on his knees, with his hands outspread to the heavens;

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

and stood and blessed all the convocation 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 Yahweh, who hath given rest unto his people Israel, according to all that he promised, —there hath not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by the hand of Moses his servant.

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

Yahweh our God be with us, as he was with our fathers, —let him not leave us, nor forsake us;

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 bow our heart unto himself, —to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and his statutes, and his regulations, 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 made supplication before Yahweh, be near unto Yahweh our God, day and night, —that he may maintain the cause of his servant, and the cause of his people Israel, as any need ariseth:

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

To the end that all the peoples of the earth may know, that, Yahweh, is God, —there is none else.

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

So shall your heart be sound with Yahweh our God, —to walk in his statutes, and to 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 with him, were offering sacrifice before Yahweh.

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.

So Solomon offered as a sacrifice of peace-offerings, which he offered unto Yahweh—Oxen, two and twenty thousand, and Sheep, a hundred and twenty thousand, —Thus did, the king and all the sons of Israel, dedicate the house of Yahweh.

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.

On that day, did the king hallow the middle of the court, that was before the house of Yahweh, —for he offered there the ascending-sacrifice, and the meal-offering, and the fat portions of the peace-offerings, because, the altar of bronze that was before Yahweh, was too small to receive the ascending-sacrifice and the meal-offering, and the fat portions 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 that time, a festival—and all Israel with him—a great convocation, from the entering in of Hamath unto the ravine of Egypt, before Yahweh our God, seven days, and seven days, —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 the people away, and they blessed the king, —and departed to their homes, rejoicing and glad of heart, over all the goodness which Yahweh had done for David his servant, and for Israel his people.
