2 Dnevnika 6
1 Tada reèe Solomun: Gospod je rekao da æe nastavati u mraku.
Then Solomon said, “Yahweh, you said that you would live in a dark cloud.
2 A ja sazidah dom tebi za stan i mjesto da u njemu nastavaš dovijeka.
But now I have built a glorious temple for you to live in forever!”
3 I okrenuvši se licem svojim car blagoslovi sav zbor Izrailjev, a sav zbor Izrailjev stajaše.
Then while all the people stood there, Solomon turned toward the people and he [asked God to] bless them.
4 I reèe: blagosloven da je Gospod Bog Izrailjev, koji je govorio svojim ustima Davidu ocu mojemu i ispunio rukom svojom, govoreæi:
He said to them, “Praise Yahweh, the God to whom we Israelis belong, who has caused to happen what he promised to my father David. What he said to David was this:
5 Od onoga dana kad izvedoh narod svoj iz zemlje Misirske, ne izabrah grada meðu svijem plemenima Izrailjevijem da se sazida dom gdje bi bilo ime moje, niti izabrah èovjeka koji bi bio voð narodu mojemu Izrailju,
‘From the time that I brought my people out of Egypt, I have never chosen a city in Israel in which a temple should be built for people to [worship] me there. Nor did I choose anyone to be the leader of my Israeli people.
6 Nego izabrah Jerusalim da u njemu bude ime moje, i izabrah Davida da bude nad narodom mojim Izrailjem.
But now I have chosen Jerusalem to be the place for people to worship me, and I have chosen you to rule my Israeli people.’”
7 I naumi David otac moj da sazida dom imenu Gospoda Boga Izrailjeva.
[Then Solomon said], “My father David wanted to build a temple for Yahweh, the God to whom we Israelis belong.
8 Ali Gospod reèe Davidu ocu mojemu: što si naumio sazidati dom imenu mojemu, dobro si uèinio što si to naumio.
But Yahweh said to him, ‘You have wanted to build a temple for me, and what you wanted to do was good.
9 Ali neæeš ti sazidati toga doma, nego sin tvoj koji æe izaæi iz bedara tvojih, on æe sazidati dom imenu mojemu.
However, you are not the one who I want to build the temple; it is one of your own sons who [I want to] build a temple for me.’
10 I tako ispuni Gospod rijeè svoju koju je rekao, jer ustah na mjesto oca svojega Davida i sjedoh na prijesto Izrailjev, kao što je rekao Gospod, i sazidah ovaj dom imenu Gospoda Boga Izrailjeva.
“And Yahweh has done what he promised to do. I have become the king of Israel to succeed my father, and I am ruling the people, like Yahweh promised, and I have arranged for this temple to be built for us to worship Yahweh, the God to whom we Israelis belong.
11 I namjestih ovdje kovèeg, u kom je zavjet Gospodnji što je uèinio sa sinovima Izrailjevijem.
I have put the Sacred Chest in the temple, in which are the stone tablets [on which are engraved the Ten Commandments of] the agreement that Yahweh made with us Israeli people.”
12 Potom stade Solomun pred oltar Gospodnji pred svijem zborom Izrailjevijem, i podiže ruke svoje.
Then Solomon stood in front of the altar which was in front of the people of Israel who had gathered there.
13 A bješe naèinio Solomun podnožje od mjedi i metnuo ga nasred trijema, pet lakata dugo i pet lakata široko, a tri lakta visoko; pa stade na nj, i kleèe na koljena pred svijem zborom Izrailjevijem, i podiže ruke svoje k nebu.
His workers had built a bronze platform there [for him to stand on], which was 7-1/2 feet long and 7-1/2 feet wide and 4-1/2 feet high. They put it in the outer courtyard. Solomon stood on that platform and then knelt down in front of all the people of Israel who had gathered there, and he spread out his arms toward heaven,
14 I reèe: Gospode Bože Izrailjev! nema Boga takoga kakav si ti ni na nebu ni na zemlji, koji èuvaš zavjet i milost slugama svojim, koje hode pred tobom svijem srcem svojim;
and he prayed, “Yahweh, the God to whom we Israeli people belong, there is no God like you in heaven or on the earth. You solemnly promised that you would faithfully love us, and that is what you have done for us who earnestly do what you want us to do.
15 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.
“You have done the things that you promised my father David, who served you [very well], that you would do. Truly, you promised to do those things for him, and today we see that by your power you have caused it all to happen.
16 Sada dakle, Gospode Bože Izrailjev, drži Davidu ocu mojemu što si mu rekao govoreæi: neæe ti nestati èovjeka ispred mene koji bi sjedio na prijestolu Izrailjevu, samo ako ušèuvaju sinovi tvoji put svoj hodeæi po zakonu mojemu, kao što si ti hodio preda mnom.
“So now, Yahweh, the God we Israelis belong to, please do the things that you promised to my father David that you would do. You said that there would always be some of his descendants to rule Israel, if they faithfully conduct their lives as he did.
17 Sada dakle, Gospode Bože Izrailjev, neka se potvrdi rijeè tvoja koju si rekao sluzi svojemu Davidu.
So now, God of us Israeli people, cause what you promised David, who served you [well], to happen.
18 Ali hoæe li doista Bog stanovati s èovjekom na zemlji? Eto, nebo, i nebesa nad nebesima ne mogu te obuhvatiti, akamoli ovaj dom što ga sazidah.
“But, my God, will you really live on earth among people? There is surely not enough space for you in the sky, or even in the heaven! So there is surely not enough space for you to live in this temple that my workers have built.
19 Ali pogledaj na molitvu sluge svojega i na molbu njegovu, Gospode Bože moj, èuj viku i molitvu kojom ti se danas moli sluga tvoj.
But Yahweh, my God, please listen to my prayer, while I am pleading with you this day and do what I am requesting.
20 Da budu oèi tvoje otvorene nad domom ovijem danju i noæu, nad ovijem mjestom, gdje si rekao da æeš namjestiti ime svoje, da èuješ molitvu kojom æe se moliti sluga tvoj na ovom mjestu.
Please protect this temple day and night. This is the place about which you have said, ‘I will always be there.’ Please listen to my prayer about this place.
21 Èuj molbe sluge svojega i naroda svojega Izrailja, kojima æe se moliti na ovom mjestu, èuj s mjesta gdje stanuješ, s neba, èuj i smiluj se.
Listen to me when I pray, and listen to your Israeli people when they pray. Listen from heaven, where you live; and when you hear us pray, forgive us.
22 Kad ko zgriješi bližnjemu svojemu, te mu se da zakletva, da se zakune, i zakletva doðe pred tvoj oltar u ovom domu,
“If someone is accused of doing something wrong to another person, and they bring him to testify in front of your altar outside this holy temple, and if he says, ‘I did not do that; may God punish me if I am not telling the truth,’
23 Ti èuj s neba, i uèini, i sudi slugama svojim plaæajuæi krivcu i djela njegova obraæajuæi na njegovu glavu, a pravoga pravdajuæi i plaæajuæi mu po pravdi njegovoj.
then you listen from heaven, and you decide who is telling the truth. Then punish the person who is guilty as he deserves to be punished, and declare that the other person is innocent.
24 I kad se razbije pred neprijateljem narod tvoj Izrailj zato što ti zgriješe, pa se obrate i dadu slavu imenu tvojemu i pomole ti se i zamole te u ovom domu,
“And when your Israeli people are defeated by their enemies because they sinned against you, [and forced to go to some distant country, ] if they turn away from their sinful behavior and turn toward this temple and admit [that] you [have justly punished them], and plead [that you will forgive them],
25 Ti èuj s neba, i oprosti grijeh narodu svojemu Izrailju, i dovedi ih opet u zemlju, koju si dao njima i ocima njihovijem.
listen to them from heaven and forgive your Israeli people for the sins that they [have committed], and bring them back to this land that you gave to our ancestors.
26 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 you do not allow any rain to fall because your people have sinned against you, if they turn toward this temple and admit [that] you [have justly punished them], and turn away from their sinful behavior and humbly pray to you,
27 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.
hear from heaven and forgive the sins of your Israeli people. Teach them the right way to conduct their lives. Then cause it to rain here on the land that you gave to your people to belong to them [permanently].
28 Kad bude glad u zemlji, kad bude pomor, suša ili medljika, skakavci ili gusjenice kad budu, ili ga stegne neprijatelj njegov u zemlji njegovoj vlastitoj, ili kako god zlo i kaka god bolest,
“And when the people of this land experience famines or if there is a plague, or when their crops are destroyed by very hot winds or by mildew or by locusts or grasshoppers, or when their enemies surround any of their cities [in order to attack them], if any of those bad things happen to them,
29 Svaku molbu i svaku molitvu, koja bude od koga god èovjeka ili od svega naroda tvojega Izrailja, ko pozna muku svoju i bol svoj i podigne ruke svoje u ovom domu,
when your Israeli people earnestly plead with you, knowing in their inner beings that they are suffering [because they have sinned], if they stretch out their hands toward this temple and pray,
30 Ti èuj s neba, iz stana svojega, i oprosti i podaj svakome po putovima njegovijem, što znaš u srcu njegovu, jer ti sam znaš srca sinova èovjeèijih;
hear from your home in heaven, and forgive them. You alone know what each person is thinking, so reward each person according to everything that he does,
31 Da te se boje hodeæi putovima tvojim dokle su god živi na zemlji, koju si dao ocima našim.
in order that they will revere you and conduct their lives as you want them to, all the time that they live in this land that you gave to our ancestors.
32 I inostranac koji nije od naroda tvojega Izrailja, nego doðe iz daleke zemlje imena radi tvojega velikoga i ruke tvoje krjepke i mišice tvoje podignute, kad doðe i pomoli se u ovom domu,
“There will be some foreigners who do not belong to your Israeli people who have come here from countries far away because they have heard that you are very great and that you perform great miracles. If they turn toward this temple and pray,
33 Ti èuj s neba, iz stana svojega, i uèini sve za što povièe k tebi onaj stranac, da bi poznali svi narodi na zemlji ime tvoje i bojali se tebe kao narod tvoj Izrailj, i da bi znali da je ime tvoje prizvano nad ovaj dom, koji sazidah.
from your home in heaven listen to their prayer, and do for them what they request you to do. Do that in order that all the people-groups in the world will know about you and revere you, like we, your own Israeli people do. And then they will know that this is the temple that I have caused to be built for you.
34 Kad narod tvoj izide na vojsku na neprijatelje svoje putem kojim ga pošlješ, i pomole ti se okrenuvši se ka gradu ovomu, koji si izabrao, i k ovomu domu, koji sam sazidao imenu tvojemu,
“When you send your people to go to places to attack their enemies, if they pray to you, wherever they are, if they turn toward this city that you have chosen and toward this temple that I have caused to be built to honor you,
35 Èuj s neba molbu njihovu i molitvu njihovu, i dobavi im pravicu.
listen in heaven to their prayers; listen to what they plead for you [to do], and assist them.
36 Kad ti zgriješe, jer nema èovjeka koji ne griješi, i razgnjevivši se na njih daš ih neprijateljima, te ih zarobe i odvedu u zemlju daljnu ili koja je blizu,
[“It is true that] everyone sins. So, when your people sin against you, and you become angry with them, you may allow their enemies to capture them and take them to their countries, even to countries that are far away.
37 Ako se dozovu u zemlji u koju budu odvedeni u ropstvo, i obrate se i stanu ti se moliti u zemlji ropstva svojega, i reku: sagriješismo i zlo uèinismo i skrivismo;
When that happens, while they are in the countries to which they were forced to go, if they are sorry for having sinned, if they say, ‘We have sinned; we have done things that are wrong and have done things that are very wicked,’
38 I tako se obrate k tebi svijem srcem svojim i svom dušom svojom u zemlji ropstva svojega, u koju budu odvedeni u ropstvo, i pomole ti se okrenuvši se k zemlji svojoj, koju si dao ocima njihovijem, i ka gradu, koji si izabrao, i k domu, koji sam sazidao imenu tvojemu,
if they repent very sincerely, and if they turn toward this land that you gave to our ancestors, and toward this city that you have chosen [to be the place where we should worship you], and toward this temple that I have caused to be built for you and pray,
39 Tada èuj s neba, iz stana svojega, molbu njihovu i molitvu njihovu, i dobavi im pravicu, i oprosti narodu svojemu što ti budu zgriješili.
then from your home in heaven hear their prayer, and listen to them while they plead [for your help], and do what they ask you to do, and forgive your people who have sinned against you.
40 Tako, Bože moj, neka budu oèi tvoje otvorene i uši tvoje prignute na molbu u ovom mjestu.
“Now, my God, look at us and listen to us as we pray to you in this place.
41 I tako, stani, Gospode Bože, na poèivalištu svojem, ti i kovèeg sile tvoje; sveštenici tvoji, Gospode Bože, neka se obuku u spasenje, i sveci tvoji neka se raduju dobru.
Yahweh our God, come and stay in this place with the Sacred Chest, the chest that shows that you are powerful. Yahweh God, cause your priests to know clearly that you have blessed them. Cause us your people to rejoice because of all the good things [that you do for us].
42 Gospode Bože, nemoj odvratiti lica svojega od pomazanika svojega; opominji se milosti obeæane Davidu sluzi tvojemu.
Yahweh God, do not reject me [the king] whom you have appointed [to be the king of Israel]; do not forget that you greatly loved David, who served you [very well].”
