1 Kraljevima 9
1 A kad Solomun svrši dom Gospodnji i dom carski i sve što željaše Solomun i rad bijaše naèiniti,
After Solomon’s [workers] had finished building the temple and his palace and everything else that Solomon wanted them to build,
2 Javi se Gospod Solomunu drugi put, kao što mu se bješe javio u Gavaonu;
Yahweh appeared to him [in a dream] a second time, like he had appeared to him at [the city of] Gibeon.
3 I reèe mu Gospod: uslišio sam molbu tvoju i molitvu tvoju, kojom si mi se molio; posvetio sam taj dom koji si sazidao da tu namjestim ime svoje dovijeka; i oèi æe moje i srce moje biti ondje vazda.
Yahweh said to him, “I heard what you prayed and what you pleaded for me to do. I have set apart/dedicated this temple which your [workers] have built to be the place where people will worship me forever. I will always watch over it and protect it.
4 A ti ako uzideš preda mnom kako je išao David otac tvoj s cijelijem i pravijem srcem tvoreæi sve što sam ti zapovjedio i držeæi uredbe moje i zakone moje,
“And as for you, if you conduct your life as I want you to, like your father David did, and if you very sincerely obey all the statutes and laws that I have commanded you to obey,
5 Utvrdiæu prijesto carstva tvojega nad Izrailjem navijek, kao što sam kazao Davidu ocu tvojemu govoreæi: neæe ti nestati èovjeka na prijestolu Izrailjevu.
I will do what I promised your father that I would do: I promised him that Israel would always be ruled by his descendants.
6 Ali ako se vi i sinovi vaši odvratite od mene i ne uzdržite zapovijesti mojih i uredaba mojih koje sam vam dao, i otidete i stanete služiti drugim bogovima i klanjati im se,
“But if you or your descendants turn away from me and disobey the commands and decrees that I have given to you, and if you start to worship other gods,
7 Tada æu istrijebiti Izrailja sa zemlje, koju sam vam dao, i ovaj dom, koji sam posvetio imenu svojemu, odbaciæu od sebe, i Izrailj æe postati prièa i potsmijeh meðu svijem narodima;
I will remove my Israeli people from the land that I have given to them. I will also abandon this temple that I have set apart/dedicated to be the place where people should worship me. Then people everywhere will despise [the people of] Israel and make fun of them.
8 A dom ovaj koliko je slavan, ko god proðe mimo nj, zaèudiæe se i zapištaæe, i reæi æe: zašto uèini Gospod ovo od ove zemlje i od ovoga doma?
This temple will become a heap of ruins. Everyone who passes by will be astonished [when they see it], and they will be shocked and say, ‘Why has Yahweh done this to this land and to this temple?’
9 I odgovaraæe se: jer odustaše Gospoda Boga svojega, koji izvede oce njihove iz zemlje Misirske, i uzeše druge bogove, i klanjaše im se i služiše im; zato pusti na njih Gospod sve ovo zlo.
And other people will reply, ‘It happened because the Israeli people abandoned Yahweh their God, the one who brought their ancestors out of Egypt. They started to accept and worship other gods. And that is why Yahweh has caused them to experience all these disasters.’”
10 A kad proðe dvadeset godina, u koje sazida Solomun ova dva doma, dom Gospodnji i dom carski,
Solomon’s [workers] labored for 20 years to build the temple and the palace.
11 A Hiram car Tirski dade Solomunu drva kedrovijeh i drva jelovijeh i zlata koliko mu god volja bješe, tada car Solomun dade Hiramu dvadeset gradova u zemlji Galilejskoj.
Hiram, the king of Tyre had [arranged for his workers to] give Solomon all the cedar and pine [logs] and all the gold that he needed [for this work]. After it was all finished, King Solomon gave to Hiram 20 cities in the Galilee region.
12 I doðe Hiram iz Tira da vidi gradove koje mu dade Solomun, ali ne biše mu po volji.
But when Hiram went from Tyre [to Galilee] to see the cities that Solomon had given to him, he was not pleased with them.
13 Pa reèe: kakvi su to gradovi što si mi ih dao, brate? I nazva ih: zemlja Kavul; i osta im to ime do danas.
He said to Solomon, “My friend, those cities that you gave me are worthless!” So, that area is still called ‘Worthless’.
14 A Hiram bješe poslao caru sto i dvadeset talanata zlata.
Hiram paid Solomon only five tons of gold [for those cities].
15 I tako car Solomun odredi ljude, te sazida dom Gospodnji i dom svoj i Milon, i zidove oko Jerusalima, i Asor i Megidon i Gezer.
This is a record of the work that King Solomon forced men to do. He forced them to build the temple and his palace and the terraces/landfills [on the east side of the city], and the wall around Jerusalem, and [to rebuild the cities of] Hazor and Megiddo and Gezer.
16 Jer Faraon car Misirski izide i uze Gezer, i spali ga ognjem, i pobi Hananeje koji življahu u gradu, i dade ga u præiju kæeri svojoj, ženi Solomunovoj.
[The reason they needed to rebuild Gezer was that the army of] the king of Egypt had attacked Gezer and captured it. Then they had burned [the houses in] the city and killed all the people of the Canaan people-group who lived there. The king of Egypt gave that city to his daughter as a gift when she married Solomon.
17 A Solomun sazida Gezer i Vet-Oron donji.
So Solomon’s workers also rebuilt Gezer, and they also rebuilt Lower Beth-Horon [city].
18 I Valat i Tadmor u pustinji u zemlji,
They also rebuilt Baalath and Tamar [towns] in the desert in [the southern part of] Judah.
19 I sve gradove u kojima Solomun imaše žitnice, i gradove u kojima mu bijahu kola, i gradove u kojima mu bijahu konjici, i što god Solomunu bi volja zidati u Jerusalimu i na Livanu i u svoj zemlji carstva svojega.
They also built cities where they kept the supplies for Solomon, the places where his horses and chariots were kept. They also built everything else that Solomon wanted them to build, in Jerusalem and in Lebanon, and in other places in the area over which he ruled.
20 I sav narod koji bješe ostao od Amoreja, Heteja, Ferezeja, Jeveja i Jevuseja, koji ne bijahu od sinova Izrailjevijeh,
There were many people who belonged to the Amor people-group, the Heth people-group, the Periz people-group, the Hiv people-group, and the Jebus people-group who were not killed when the Israelis captured their land.
21 Sinove njihove, koji bjehu ostali iza njih u zemlji, kojih ne mogoše sinovi Izrailjevi istrijebiti, njih Solomun nagna da plaæaju danak i robuju do današnjega dana.
[Their descendants still lived in Israel]. It was those people whom Solomon forced to become his slaves [to build all those places], and they are still slaves.
22 A od sinova Izrailjevijeh ne uèini nijednoga robom, nego bijahu vojnici i sluge njegove i knezovi, vojvode njegove, i zapovjednici nad kolima njegovijem i nad konjicima njegovijem.
But Solomon did not force any Israeli people to become slaves. Some Israelis became soldiers and army officers and commanders and drivers of his chariots and soldiers who rode on horses.
23 I bješe glavnijeh nastojnika nad poslom Solomunovijem pet stotina i pedeset, koji upravljahu narodom koji raðaše posao.
There were 550 officials who supervised the slaves who worked [to build all those places].
24 A kæi Faraonova preseli se iz grada Davidova u dom svoj, koji joj sazida. Tada sazida i Milon.
After [Solomon’s wife, who was] the daughter of the king of Egypt, moved from [the place outside Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’ to the palace that Solomon’s workers built for her, Solomon [told his workers to] fill in the slopes on the east side of the city.
25 I Solomun prinošaše tri puta na godinu žrtve paljenice i žrtve zahvalne na oltaru koji naèini Gospodu, i kaðaše na oltaru koji bješe pred Gospodom, kad svrši dom.
Three times each year Solomon [brought to the temple] offerings that were completely burned [on the altar] and offerings to restore fellowship with Yahweh. He also brought incense to be burned in the presence of Yahweh. And so his men finished building the temple.
26 I laðe naèini car Solomun u Esion-Gaveru, koji je kod Elota na brijegu Crvenoga Mora u zemlji Edomskoj.
King Solomon’s [workers] also built a fleet of ships at Ezion-Geber [city], which is near Elath [city], on the shore of the Gulf of Aqaba, in the land belonging to the Edom people-group.
27 I posla Hiram na tijem laðama sluge svoje, laðare vješte moru, sa slugama Solomunovijem;
[King] Hiram sent some very expert sailors to work on the ships with Solomon’s workers.
28 I doðoše u Ofir, i uzeše odande zlata èetiri stotine i dvadeset talanata, i donesoše caru Solomunu.
They sailed to [the] Ophir [region] and brought back to Solomon about 16 tons of gold.
