2 Kroniška 7
1 Torej ko je Salomon molitvi naredil konec, je z neba prišel ogenj in použil žgalno daritev in klavne daritve in Gospodova slava je napolnila hišo.
Now when Solomon had finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the LORD’s glory filled the house.
2 Duhovniki niso mogli vstopiti v Gospodovo hišo, ker je Gospodova slava napolnila Gospodovo hišo.
The priests could not enter into the LORD’s house, because the LORD’s glory filled the LORD’s house.
3 Ko so vsi Izraelovi otroci videli, kako je ogenj prišel dol in Gospodova slava na hišo, so se s svojimi obrazi priklonili do tal na tlak in oboževali ter hvalili Gospoda, rekoč: »Ker je dober, kajti njegovo usmiljenje traja večno.«
All the children of Israel looked on, when the fire came down, and the LORD’s glory was on the house. They bowed themselves with their faces to the ground on the pavement, worshiped, and gave thanks to the LORD, saying, “For he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever!”
4 Potem so kralj in vse ljudstvo darovali klavne daritve pred Gospodom.
Then the king and all the people offered sacrifices before the LORD.
5 Kralj Salomon je daroval klavno daritev dvaindvajsetih tisočev volov in sto dvanajst tisočev ovc. Tako sta kralj in vse ljudstvo posvetila Božjo hišo.
King Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty-two thousand head of cattle and a hundred twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the people dedicated God’s house.
6 Duhovniki so čakali na svoje službe. Tudi Lévijevci z Gospodovimi glasbenimi instrumenti. Izdelal jih je kralj David, da hvali Gospoda, kajti njegovo usmiljenje traja večno. Ko je David hvalil ob njihovem služenju in so duhovniki pred njimi trobili s trobentami, je ves Izrael stal.
The priests stood, according to their positions; the Levites also with instruments of music of the LORD, which David the king had made to give thanks to the LORD, when David praised by their ministry, saying “For his loving kindness endures forever.” The priests sounded shofars before them; and all Israel stood.
7 Poleg tega je Salomon posvetil sredino dvora, ki je bil pred Gospodovo hišo, kajti tam je daroval žgalne daritve in tolščo mirovnih daritev, ker bronast oltar, ki ga je Salomon naredil, ni zmogel sprejeti žgalnih daritev, jedilnih daritev in tolšče.
Moreover Solomon made the middle of the court that was before the LORD’s house holy; for there he offered the burnt offerings and the fat of the peace offerings, because the bronze altar which Solomon had made was not able to receive the burnt offering, the meal offering, and the fat.
8 Prav tako je ob tem času Salomon praznik praznoval sedem dni in ves Izrael z njim, zelo velik shod, od vstopa v Hamát do egiptovske reke.
So Solomon held the feast at that time for seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great assembly, from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of Egypt.
9 Na osmi dan so naredili slovesen zbor, kajti sedem dni so praznovali posvetitev oltarja in sedem dni so praznovali.
On the eighth day, they held a solemn assembly; for they kept the dedication of the altar seven days, and the feast seven days.
10 Na triindvajseti dan sedmega meseca je ljudstvo poslal proč, v njihove šotore, vesele in razigrane v srcu, zaradi dobrote, ki jo je Gospod pokazal Davidu, Salomonu in njegovemu ljudstvu Izraelu.
On the twenty-third day of the seventh month, he sent the people away to their tents, joyful and glad of heart for the goodness that the LORD had shown to David, to Solomon, and to Israel his people.
11 Tako je Salomon končal Gospodovo hišo in kraljevo hišo in vse, kar je prišlo v Salomonovo srce, da naredi v Gospodovi hiši in v svoji lastni hiši, je uspešno izvršil.
Thus Solomon finished the LORD’s house and the king’s house; and he successfully completed all that came into Solomon’s heart to make in the LORD’s house and in his own house.
12 Gospod se je Salomonu prikazal ponoči in mu rekel: »Slišal sem tvojo molitev in ta kraj sem izbral zase, za hišo klavne daritve.
Then the LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said to him, “I have heard your prayer, and have chosen this place for myself for a house of sacrifice.
13 Če zaprem nebo, da ne bo dežja ali če zapovem kobilicam, da požrejo deželo ali če med svoje ljudstvo pošljem kužno bolezen,
“If I shut up the sky so that there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people,
14 če se bo moje ljudstvo, ki je imenovano po mojem imenu, ponižalo, molilo, iskalo moj obraz in se odvrnilo od svojih zlobnih poti, takrat bom prisluhnil iz nebes, odpustil njihov greh in ozdravil njihovo deželo.
if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
15 Sedaj bodo moje oči odprte in moja ušesa pozorna na molitev, ki je narejena na tem kraju.
Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to prayer that is made in this place.
16 Kajti sedaj sem izbral in posvetil to hišo, da bo moje ime lahko tam na veke. Moje oči in moje srce bodo neprestano tam.
For now I have chosen and made this house holy, that my name may be there forever; and my eyes and my heart will be there perpetually.
17 Kar se tiče tebe, če hočeš hoditi pred menoj, kakor je hodil tvoj oče David in storiti glede na vse, kar sem ti zapovedal in boš obeleževal moje zakone in moje sodbe,
“As for you, if you will walk before me as David your father walked, and do according to all that I have commanded you, and will keep my statutes and my ordinances,
18 tedaj bom utrdil prestol tvojega kraljestva, glede na to, kakor sem se zavezal s tvojim očetom Davidom, rekoč: ›Ne bo ti manjkal mož, da bi bil vladar v Izraelu.‹
then I will establish the throne of your kingdom, according as I covenanted with David your father, saying, ‘There shall not fail you a man to be ruler in Israel.’
19 Toda če se odvrnete in zapustite moje zakone in moje zapovedi, ki sem jih postavil pred vas in boste šli ter služili drugim bogovom in jih oboževali,
But if you turn away and forsake my statutes and my commandments which I have set before you, and go and serve other gods and worship them,
20 potem jih bom s koreninami izpulil iz svoje dežele, ki sem jim jo dal in to hišo, ki sem jo posvetil za svoje ime, bom vrgel iz svojega pogleda in jo naredil, da bo pregovor in tarča posmeha med vsemi narodi.
then I will pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have made holy for my name, I will cast out of my sight, and I will make it a proverb and a byword among all peoples.
21 Ta hiša, ki je visoka, bo osuplost vsakemu, ki gre mimo nje, tako da bo rekel: ›Zakaj je Gospod tako storil tej deželi in tej hiši?‹
This house, which is so high, everyone who passes by it will be astonished and say, ‘Why has the LORD done this to this land and to this house?’
22 To bo odgovor: ›Ker so zapustili Gospoda, Boga svojih očetov, ki jih je privedel ven iz egiptovske dežele in se prijeli drugih bogov, jih oboževali in jim služili. Zato je nanje privedel vse to zlo.‹
They shall answer, ‘Because they abandoned the LORD, the God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and took other gods, worshiped them, and served them. Therefore he has brought all this evil on them.’”
