1 Ljetopisa 29

1 Kralj David reče svemu zboru: “Bog je izabrao moga sina Salomona, mlado i nježno momče, a ovo je velik posao, jer neće biti za čovjeka dvor nego za Boga Jahvu.

Furthermore David the king said to all the congregation, Solomon my son, whom alone God has chosen, is yet young and tender, and the work is great: for the palace is not for man, but for the LORD God.

2 Pripremio sam, koliko sam mogao, za Dom svoga Boga zlata za zlatne stvari i srebra za srebrne, tuča za tučane, željeza za željezne, drva za drvene; oniksova kamenja i dragulja za ukivanje, dragulja za ukras i šarenih dragulja, svakojakoga dragog kamenja i izobila mramora.

Now I have prepared with all my might for the house of my God the gold for things to be made of gold, and the silver for things of silver, and the brass for things of brass, the iron for things of iron, and wood for things of wood; onyx stones, and stones to be set, glistering stones, and of divers colors, and all manner of precious stones, and marble stones in abundance.

3 Iz ljubavi prema Bogu dajem još i svoga zlata i srebra za Dom svoga Boga, osim svega što sam pripravio za sveti Dom.

Moreover, because I have set my affection to the house of my God, I have of my own proper good, of gold and silver, which I have given to the house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the holy house.

4 Tri tisuće zlatnih talenata ofirskoga zlata i sedam tisuća talenata čistoga srebra da se oblože zidovi prostorija.

Even three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls of the houses with:

5 Zlato za zlatne stvari, a srebro za srebrne i za svako djelo umjetničkih ruku. Bi li danas još tko htio dragovoljno što priložiti svojom rukom Jahvi?”

The gold for things of gold, and the silver for things of silver, and for all manner of work to be made by the hands of artificers. And who then is willing to consecrate his service this day to the LORD?

6 Tada su dragovoljno priložili knezovi obitelji i knezovi izraelskih plemena, tisućnici, stotnici i nadstojnici nad kraljevskim poslovima.

Then the chief of the fathers and princes of the tribes of Israel and the captains of thousands and of hundreds, with the rulers of the king’s work, offered willingly,

7 Dali su za službu u Božjem Domu zlata pet tisuća talenata i deset tisuća zlatnih darika, srebra deset tisuća talenata, tuča osamnaest tisuća talenata, željeza sto tisuća talenata.

And gave for the service of the house of God of gold five thousand talents and ten thousand drams, and of silver ten thousand talents, and of brass eighteen thousand talents, and one hundred thousand talents of iron.

8 U koga se god našlo dragulja, svi su darivali u riznicu Jahvina Doma na ruke Jehiela Geršonovca.

And they with whom precious stones were found gave them to the treasure of the house of the LORD, by the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite.

9 Narod se veselio što su dragovoljno prilagali, jer su prilagali iskrena srca Jahvi; i kralj David radovao se od srca.

Then the people rejoiced, for that they offered willingly, because with perfect heart they offered willingly to the LORD: and David the king also rejoiced with great joy.

10 Potom David blagoslovi Jahvu pred svim zborom. I reče David: “Blagoslovljen da si, Jahve, Bože našeg oca Izraela, od vijeka do vijeka!

Why David blessed the LORD before all the congregation: and David said, Blessed be you, LORD God of Israel our father, for ever and ever.

11 Tvoja je, Jahve, veličina, sila, slava, sjaj i veličanstvo, jer je tvoje sve što je na nebu i na zemlji; tvoje je, Jahve, kraljevstvo i ti si uzvišen povrh svega, Poglavar svega!

Yours, O LORD is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is yours; your is the kingdom, O LORD, and you are exalted as head above all.

12 Od tebe je bogatstvo i slava, ti vladaš nad svim, u tvojoj je ruci sila i moć, u tvojoj je vlasti da učiniš velikim i jakim sve.

Both riches and honor come of you, and you reign over all; and in your hand is power and might; and in your hand it is to make great, and to give strength to all.

13 I slavimo te, Bože naš, i hvalimo tvoje dično ime.

Now therefore, our God, we thank you, and praise your glorious name.

14 Tko sam ja i što je moj narod da bismo imali snage ovoliko prinijeti tebi dragovoljno? Od tebe je sve, i iz tvojih ruku primivši, dali smo tebi!

But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? for all things come of you, and of your own have we given you.

15 Pridošlice smo pred tobom, naseljenici kao svi naši očevi; naši dani na zemlji prolaze kao sjena i nema nade.

For we are strangers before you, and sojourners, as were all our fathers: our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is none abiding.

16 Jahve, Bože naš, sve ovo mnogo blago koje smo pripravili za gradnju Doma tebi, tvome svetom imenu, iz tvoje je ruke i sve je tvoje!

O LORD our God, all this store that we have prepared to build you an house for your holy name comes of your hand, and is all your own.

17 Ali znam, o Bože moj, da ti iskušavaš srca i da ljubiš iskrenost; ja sam iskrena srca dragovoljno prinio sve ovo i s radošću sam gledao tvoj narod koji je ovdje kako ti dragovoljno prinosi.

I know also, my God, that you try the heart, and have pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of my heart I have willingly offered all these things: and now have I seen with joy your people, which are present here, to offer willingly to you.

18 Jahve, Bože naših otaca Abrahama, Izaka i Jakova, sačuvaj dovijeka u srcu svoga naroda tu misao i namjeru i upravi njegovo srce k sebi!

O LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, our fathers, keep this for ever in the imagination of the thoughts of the heart of your people, and prepare their heart to you:

19 A mome sinu Salomonu daj pošteno srce da bi se držao tvojih zapovijedi, tvojih odredaba i tvojih uredaba, da bi vršio sve i da bi sagradio dvor za koji sam sve spremio!”

And give to Solomon my son a perfect heart, to keep your commandments, your testimonies, and your statutes, and to do all these things, and to build the palace, for the which I have made provision.

20 Tada David reče svemu zboru: “Blagoslovite sada Jahvu, svoga Boga!” I sav je zbor blagoslovio Jahvu, Boga svojih otaca, i, pavši ničice, poklonio se Jahvi i kralju.

And David said to all the congregation, Now bless the LORD your God. And all the congregation blessed the LORD God of their fathers, and bowed down their heads, and worshipped the LORD, and the king.

21 Žrtvovali su Jahvi klanice i prinijeli Jahvi paljenice sutradan: tisuću junaca, tisuću ovnova, tisuću jaganjaca s njihovim ljevanicama, mnogo drugih žrtava za sav Izrael.

And they sacrificed sacrifices to the LORD, and offered burnt offerings to the LORD, on the morrow after that day, even a thousand bullocks, a thousand rams, and a thousand lambs, with their drink offerings, and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel:

22 Jeli su i pili pred Jahvom onoga dana vrlo se radujući. Zakraljili su po drugi put Davidova sina Salomona i pomazali ga po Jahvinoj volji za kneza, a Sadoka za svećenika.

And did eat and drink before the LORD on that day with great gladness. And they made Solomon the son of David king the second time, and anointed him to the LORD to be the chief governor, and Zadok to be priest.

23 Tako je Salomon sjeo na Jahvino prijestolje da kraljuje namjesto svoga oca Davida. Bio je sretan i slušao ga je sav Izrael.

Then Solomon sat on the throne of the LORD as king instead of David his father, and prospered; and all Israel obeyed him.

24 Svi su knezovi i junaci i svi sinovi kralja Davida pružili ruku kralju Salomonu i svečano mu obećali pokornost.

And all the princes, and the mighty men, and all the sons likewise of king David, submitted themselves to Solomon the king.

25 Jahve je vrlo uzvisio Salomona pred očima sveg Izraela i dao njegovu kraljevstvu veličanstvo kakvo nijedan kralj prije njega nije imao u Izraelu.

And the LORD magnified Solomon exceedingly in the sight of all Israel, and bestowed on him such royal majesty as had not been on any king before him in Israel.

26 Tako je Jišajev sin David kraljevao nad svim Izraelom.

Thus David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel.

27 Nad Izraelom je kraljevao četrdeset godina; u Hebronu je kraljevao sedam godina, u Jeruzalemu je kraljevao trideset i tri godine.

And the time that he reigned over Israel was forty years; seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three years reigned he in Jerusalem.

28 Umro je u lijepoj starosti, nauživši se života, bogatstva i slave. Na njegovo se mjesto zakraljio sin mu Salomon.

And he died in a good old age, full of days, riches, and honor: and Solomon his son reigned in his stead.

29 Djela kralja Davida, od prvog do posljednjeg, zapisana su u povijesti vidioca Samuela, u povijesti proroka Natana i u povijesti vidioca Gada,

Now the acts of David the king, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of Samuel the seer, and in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the book of Gad the seer,

30 sa svim njegovim kraljevanjem, njegovim junaštvom i događajima što prijeđoše preko njega i Izraela i svih drugih kraljevstava zemaljskih.

With all his reign and his might, and the times that went over him, and over Israel, and over all the kingdoms of the countries.
