2 Ljetopisa 7
1 Kad Salomon dovrši molitvu, spusti se oganj s neba i spali paljenicu i klanice i slava Jahvina ispuni Dom.
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 Svećenici ne mogoše ući, jer slava Jahvina bješe ispunila Dom Jahvin.
The priests could not enter into the LORD’s house, because the LORD’s glory filled the LORD’s house.
3 Svi sinovi Izraelovi, videći gdje se oganj sa slavom Jahvinom spustio na Dom, padoše ničice k zemlji do kamenog poda; pokloniv se, počeše slaviti Jahvu “jer je dobar i jer je vječna njegova ljubav”.
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, worshipped, and gave thanks to the LORD, saying, “For he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever!”
4 Potom kralj i čitav narod stadoše žrtvovati žrtve pred Jahvom.
Then the king and all the people offered sacrifices before the LORD.
5 Kralj Salomon prinese za žrtvu dvadeset i dvije tisuće goveda, sto i dvadeset tisuća ovaca; i tako posvetiše Dom Jahvin i kralj i sav narod.
King Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty-two thousand head of cattle and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the people dedicated God’s house.
6 Dok su svećenici stajali na dužnostima, leviti su na glazbalima za Jahvine pjesme, što ih učini kralj David, slavili Jahvu “jer je vječna njegova ljubav”. Time je David preko njihovih ruku hvalio Jahvu. Pred njima su svećenici trubili u trube, dok su Izraelci stajali.
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 Salomon je posvetio i sredinu predvorja koje je pred Jahvinim Domom, jer je ondje prinio paljenice i pretilinu od pričesnica, jer na tučani žrtvenik koji bijaše napravio Salomon nisu mogle stati paljenice ni prinosi ni pretilina.
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 U to je doba Salomon svetkovao blagdan sedam dana i sav Izrael s njime, vrlo velik zbor, od Ulaza u Hamat pa do Egipatskoga potoka.
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 A osmoga su dana svetkovali svečani zbor, jer su posvetu žrtveniku svetkovali sedam dana i blagdan sedam dana.
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 Dvadeset trećega dana sedmoga mjeseca posla ljude k njihovim šatorima i odoše vesela i zadovoljna srca zbog dobra koje je Jahve učinio Davidu i Salomonu i svem narodu izraelskom.
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 dovršio Dom Jahvin i kraljevski dvor i izveo sve što god bješe zasnovano da izvrši u Domu Jahvinu i u svojem dvoru.
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 Potom se Jahve ukaza Salomonu noću i reče mu: “Uslišao sam tvoju molitvu i izabrao to mjesto da mi bude Dom žrtve.
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 Ako zatvorim nebo da ne bude dažda, ili zapovjedim skakavcima da popasu zemlju, ili pustim kugu na svoj narod,
“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 amongst my people,
14 i ponizi se moj narod na koji je prizvano Ime moje i pomoli se i potraži lice moje i okani se zlih putova, ja ću ga tada uslišati s neba i oprostiti mu grijeh i izliječit ću mu zemlju.
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 Moje će oči biti otvorene i moje uši pažljive na molitvu s ovoga mjesta.
Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to prayer that is made in this place.
16 Sada sam, dakle, izabrao i posvetio ovaj Dom da ovdje bude Ime moje zauvijek i ovdje će sve dane biti moje oči i moje srce.
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 A ti, budeš li išao preda mnom kako ti je išao otac David, vršeći sve što sam ti zapovjedio i držeći se mojih uredaba i zakona,
“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 uzdržat ću tvoje kraljevsko prijestolje kako sam obećao tvome ocu Davidu govoreći: 'Neće ti ponestati nasljednika koji bi vladao u 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 Ali ako me ostavite i napustite uredbe i zapovijedi koje sam vam dao te otiđete i počnete služiti tuđim bogovima i klanjati im se,
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 istjerat ću Izraelce iz svoje zemlje koju sam im dao i odbacit ću od sebe ovaj Dom koji sam posvetio svojem Imenu i učinit ću od njega priču i sramotu među svim narodima.
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 amongst all peoples.
21 Tko god prođe mimo ovaj Dom koji bijaše preslavan zaprepastit će se od užasa i pitati: 'Zašto je Jahve tako učinio s ovom zemljom i s ovim Domom?'
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 I odgovorit će mu se: 'Ostavili su Jahvu, Boga svojih otaca, koji ih je izveo iz Egipta, i okrenuli se tuđinskim bogovima, i klanjali im se, i služili im, i zato je Jahve pustio na njih sve ovo 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, worshipped them, and served them. Therefore he has brought all this evil on them.’”
