2 Kroniška 6

1 Potem je Salomon rekel: » Gospod je rekel, da bo prebival v gosti temi.

Then said Solomon, The LORD has said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.

2 Toda jaz sem zate zgradil hišo prebivališča in prostor za tvoje prebivanje na veke.«

But I have built an house of habitation for you, and a place for your dwelling for ever.

3 Kralj je obrnil svoj obraz in blagoslovil celotno Izraelovo skupnost in celotna Izraelova skupnost je stala.

And the king turned his face, and blessed the whole congregation of Israel: and all the congregation of Israel stood.

4 Rekel je: »Blagoslovljen bodi Gospod, Izraelov Bog, ki je s svojimi rokami izpolnil to, kar je s svojimi usti govoril mojemu očetu Davidu, rekoč:

And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, who has with his hands fulfilled that which he spoke with his mouth to my father David, saying,

5 ›Od dneva, ko sem svoje ljudstvo privedel iz egiptovske dežele, nisem izbral nobenega mesta med vsemi Izraelovimi rodovi, da bi v njem zgradil hišo, da bi bilo tam lahko moje ime niti nisem izbral nobenega človeka, da bi bil vladar nad mojim ljudstvom Izraelom,

Since the day that I brought forth my people out of the land of Egypt I chose no city among all the tribes of Israel to build an house in, that my name might be there; neither chose I any man to be a ruler over my people Israel:

6 toda izbral sem Jeruzalem, da bo tam lahko moje ime in izbral sem Davida, da bo nad mojim ljudstvom Izraelom.‹

But I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and have chosen David to be over my people Israel.

7 Torej, to je bilo na srcu mojega očeta Davida, da zgradi hišo za ime Gospoda, Izraelovega Boga.

Now it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.

8 Toda Gospod je mojemu očetu Davidu rekel: ›Ker je bilo to na tvojem srcu, da zgradiš hišo za moje ime, si storil dobro v tem, da je bilo to na tvojem srcu,

But the LORD said to David my father, Forasmuch as it was in your heart to build an house for my name, you did well in that it was in your heart:

9 vendar hiše ne boš gradil ti, temveč tvoj sin, ki bo izšel iz tvojih ledij, on bo zgradil hišo za moje ime.‹

Notwithstanding you shall not build the house; but your son which shall come forth out of your loins, he shall build the house for my name.

10 Gospod je torej izpolnil svojo besedo, ki jo je govoril, kajti vzdignjen sem na mesto svojega očeta Davida in postavljen sem na Izraelov prestol, kakor je obljubil Gospod in zgradil sem hišo za ime Gospoda, Izraelovega Boga.

The LORD therefore has performed his word that he has spoken: for I am risen up in the room of David my father, and am set on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built the house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.

11 Vanjo sem položil skrinjo, v kateri je Gospodova zaveza, ki jo je sklenil z Izraelovimi otroki.«

And in it have I put the ark, wherein is the covenant of the LORD, that he made with the children of Israel.

12 Stal je pred Gospodovim oltarjem v prisotnosti vse Izraelove skupnosti in razprostrl svoji roki,

And he stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands:

13 kajti Salomon je naredil bronast oder, pet komolcev dolg, pet komolcev širok in tri komolce visok ter ga postavil v sredo dvora. Na njem je stal in pokleknil na svoja kolena pred vso Izraelovo skupnostjo in svoji roki razprostrl proti nebu

For Solomon had made a brazen scaffold of five cubits long, and five cubits broad, and three cubits high, and had set it in the midst of the court: and upon it he stood, and kneeled down upon his knees before all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven.

14 in rekel: »Oh Gospod, Izraelov Bog, tebi ni podobnega Boga ne v nebesih, ne na zemlji, ki se držiš zaveze in izkazuješ usmiljenje svojim služabnikom, ki z vsemi svojimi srci hodijo pred teboj.

And said, O LORD God of Israel, there is no God like you in the heaven, nor in the earth; which keep covenant, and show mercy unto your servants, that walk before you with all their hearts:

15 Ti, ki si ohranil svojemu služabniku Davidu, mojemu očetu, to, kar si mu obljubil in govoriš s svojimi usti in si to izpolnil s svojo roko, kakor je to danes.

You which have kept with your servant David my father that which you have promised him; and spoke with your mouth, and have fulfilled it with your hand, as it is this day.

16 Zdaj torej, oh Gospod, Izraelov Bog, ohrani svojemu služabniku Davidu, mojemu očetu, to, kar si mu obljubil, rekoč: ›Ne bo ti zmanjkalo moža v mojem pogledu, da sedi na Izraelovem prestolu, vendar tako, da bodo tvoji otroci pazili na svojo pot, da hodijo po moji postavi, kakor si ti hodil pred menoj.

Now therefore, O LORD God of Israel, keep with your servant David my father that which you have promised him, saying, There shall not fail you a man in my sight to sit upon the throne of Israel; yet so that your children take heed to their way to walk in my law, as you have walked before me.

17 Sedaj torej, oh Gospod, Izraelov Bog, naj bo tvoja beseda, ki si jo govoril svojemu služabniku Davidu, podprta.

Now then, O LORD God of Israel, let your word be verified, which you have spoken unto your servant David.

18 Toda mar bo Bog zagotovo prebival z ljudmi na zemlji? Glej, nebo in nebesa nebes te ne morejo vsebovati, kako veliko manj ta hiša, ki sem jo zgradil!

But will God in very deed dwell with men on the earth? behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain you; how much less this house which I have built!

19 Ozri se na molitev svojega služabnika in k njegovi ponižni prošnji, oh Gospod, moj Bog, da prisluhneš joku in molitvi, ki jo tvoj služabnik moli pred teboj,

Have respect therefore to the prayer of your servant, and to his supplication, O LORD my God, to hearken unto the cry and the prayer which your servant prays before you:

20 da bodo tvoje oči lahko odprte nad to hišo podnevi in ponoči, na kraju, o katerem si rekel, da boš tam položil svoje ime, da prisluhneš molitvi, ki jo tvoj služabnik moli proti temu kraju.

That your eyes may be open upon this house day and night, upon the place whereof you have said that you would put your name there; to hearken unto the prayer which your servant prays toward this place.

21 Prisluhni torej ponižnim prošnjam svojega služabnika in svojega ljudstva Izraela, ki jih bodo naredili proti temu kraju. Poslušaj iz svojega prebivališča, celó iz nebes in ko slišiš, odpusti.

Hearken therefore unto the supplications of your servant, and of your people Israel, which they shall make toward this place: hear you from your dwelling place, even from heaven; and when you hear, forgive.

22 Če človek greši zoper svojega bližnjega in je prisega položena nanj, ki ga primora priseči in prisega pride pred tvoj oltar v tej hiši,

If a man sin against his neighbour, and an oath be laid upon him to make him swear, and the oath come before your altar in this house;

23 potem poslušaj iz nebes, stori in sodi [med] svojima služabnikoma s povračilom zlobnemu, tako da položiš njegovo pot na njegovo lastno glavo in opravičiš pravičnega, tako da mu daš glede na njegovo pravičnost.

Then hear you from heaven, and do, and judge your servants, by requiting the wicked, by recompensing his way upon his own head; and by justifying the righteous, by giving him according to his righteousness.

24 Če bo tvoje ljudstvo Izrael poraženo pred sovražnikom, ker so grešili zoper tebe in se bo vrnilo ter priznalo tvoje ime in molilo in naredilo ponižno prošnjo pred teboj v tej hiši,

And if your people Israel be put to the worse before the enemy, because they have sinned against you; and shall return and confess your name, and pray and make supplication before you in this house;

25 tedaj prisluhni iz nebes in odpusti greh svojega ljudstva Izraela ter jih ponovno privedi v deželo, ki si jo dal njim in njihovim očetom.

Then hear you from the heavens, and forgive the sin of your people Israel, and bring them again unto the land which you gave to them and to their fathers.

26 Ko je nebo zaprto in ni dežja, ker so grešili zoper tebe; vendar če molijo proti temu kraju in priznajo tvoje ime in se odvrnejo od svojega greha, ko si jih prizadel,

When the heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against you; yet if they pray toward this place, and confess your name, and turn from their sin, when you do afflict them;

27 potem poslušaj iz nebes in odpusti greh svojih služabnikov in svojega ljudstva Izraela, ko si jih učil dobre poti, po kateri naj bi hodili in pošlji dež na svojo deželo, ki si jo dal svojemu ljudstvu za dediščino.

Then hear you from heaven, and forgive the sin of your servants, and of your people Israel, when you have taught them the good way, wherein they should walk; and send rain upon your land, which you have given unto your people for an inheritance.

28 Če bo v deželi pomanjkanje, kužna bolezen, če bo kvarjenje ali plesen, leteče kobilice ali gosenice, če jih njihovi sovražniki oblegajo v mestih njihove dežele, kakršenkoli udarec ali kakršnakoli bolezen bo tam,

If there be dearth in the land, if there be pestilence, if there be blasting, or mildew, locusts, or caterpillars; if their enemies besiege them in the cities of their land; whatsoever sore or whatsoever sickness there be:

29 potem kakršnakoli molitev ali kakršnakoli ponižna prošnja bo narejena od kateregakoli človeka ali od vsega tvojega ljudstva Izraela, ko bo vsak spoznal svoj lastni udarec in svojo lastno bolečino in bo razprostrl svoji roki v tej hiši,

Then what prayer or what supplication whatsoever shall be made of any man, or of all your people Israel, when every one shall know his own sore and his own grief, and shall spread forth his hands in this house:

30 tedaj prisluhni iz nebes, svojega prebivališča, odpusti in povrni vsakemu človeku glede na njegove lastne poti, katerega srce ti poznaš (kajti samo ti poznaš srca človeških otrok),

Then hear you from heaven your dwelling place, and forgive, and render unto every man according unto all his ways, whose heart you know; (for you only know the hearts of the children of men: )

31 da se te bodo lahko bali, da hodijo po tvojih poteh tako dolgo, dokler živijo v deželi, ki si jo dal našim očetom.

That they may fear you, to walk in your ways, so long as they live in the land which you gave unto our fathers.

32 Poleg tega glede tujca, ki ni iz tvojega ljudstva Izraela, temveč je prišel iz daljne dežele zaradi tvojega velikega imena, tvoje mogočne roke in tvojega iztegnjenega lakta; če pridejo in molijo v tej hiši,

Moreover concerning the stranger, which is not of your people Israel, but has come from a far country for your great name's sake, and your mighty hand, and your stretched out arm; if they come and pray in this house;

33 tedaj prisluhni iz nebes, celó iz svojega prebivališča in stôri glede na vse, za kar tujec kliče k tebi, da bo vse ljudstvo zemlje poznalo tvoje ime in se te balo kakor tvoje ljudstvo Izrael in bo lahko vedelo, da je ta hiša, ki sem jo zgradil, imenovana po tvojem imenu.

Then hear you from the heavens, even from your dwelling place, and do according to all that the stranger calls to you for; that all people of the earth may know your name, and fear you, as does your people Israel, and may know that this house which I have built is called by your name.

34 Če gre tvoje ljudstvo na vojno zoper svoje sovražnike po poti, po kateri jih boš poslal in molijo k tebi obrnjeni k temu mestu, ki si ga izbral in k hiši, ki sem jo zgradil za tvoje ime,

If your people go out to war against their enemies by the way that you shall send them, and they pray unto you toward this city which you have chosen, and the house which I have built for your name;

35 tedaj prisluhni iz nebes njihovi molitvi in njihovim ponižnim prošnjam ter obravnavaj njihov primer.

Then hear you from the heavens their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.

36 Če grešijo zoper tebe (kajti nobenega človeka ni, ki ne greši) in si jezen nad njimi in jih izročiš pred njihove sovražnike in jih oni ujete odvedejo v deželo daleč proč ali blizu,

If they sin against you, (for there is no man which sins not, ) and you be angry with them, and deliver them over before their enemies, and they carry them away captives unto a land far off or near;

37 vendar če si premislijo v deželi, kamor so odvedeni ujetniki in se obrnejo in molijo k tebi v deželi svojega ujetništva, rekoč: ›Grešili smo, napačno smo storili in počeli zlobno; ‹

Yet if they call to reflect themselves in the land where they are carried captive, and turn and pray unto you in the land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have done amiss, and have dealt wickedly;

38 če se vrnejo k tebi z vsem svojim srcem in z vso svojo dušo, v deželi svojega ujetništva, kamor so jih odvedli ujete in molijo k njihovi deželi, ki si jo dal njihovim očetom in k mestu, ki si ga izbral in k hiši, ki sem jo zgradil za tvoje ime,

If they return to you with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, where they have carried them captives, and pray toward their land, which you gave unto their fathers, and toward the city which you have chosen, and toward the house which I have built for your name:

39 tedaj prisluhni iz nebes, celó iz svojega prebivališča, njihovi molitvi in njihovim ponižnim prošnjam in obravnavaj njihov primer in odpusti svojemu ljudstvu, ki je grešilo zoper tebe.

Then hear you from the heavens, even from your dwelling place, their prayer and their supplications, and maintain their cause, and forgive your people which have sinned against you.

40 Sedaj, moj Bog, naj bodo, rotim te, tvoje oči odprte in naj bodo tvoja ušesa pozorna na molitev, ki je narejena na tem kraju.

Now, my God, let, I plead to you, your eyes be open, and let your ears be attentive unto the prayer that is made in this place.

41 Sedaj torej vzdigni se, oh Gospod Bog, v svoje počivališče, ti in skrinja tvoje moči. Naj bodo tvoji duhovniki, oh Gospod Bog, oblečeni z rešitvijo duš in naj se tvoji sveti veselijo v dobroti.

Now therefore arise, O LORD God, into your resting place, you, and the ark of your strength: let your priests, O LORD God, be clothed with salvation, and let your saints rejoice in goodness.

42 Oh Gospod Bog, svojega obraza ne obrni od svojega maziljenca. Spomni se usmiljenj svojega služabnika Davida.‹«

O LORD God, turn not away the face of your anointed: remember the mercies of David your servant.
