1 Kings 8
1 Then all those greater by birth of Israel, with the leaders of the tribes and the rulers of the families of the sons of Israel, gathered together before king Solomon at Jerusalem, so that they might carry the ark of the covenant of the Lord, from the city of David, that is, from Zion.
Potem je Salomon zbral Izraelove starešine in vse poglavarje rodov, vodilne izmed očetov Izraelovih otrok, h kralju Salomonu v Jeruzalem, da bi lahko prinesli gor skrinjo Gospodove zaveze iz Davidovega mesta, ki je Sion.
2 And all of Israel assembled before king Solomon, on the solemn day in the month of Ethanim, which is the seventh month.
Vsi možje iz Izraela so se na praznik zbrali h kralju Salomonu, v mesecu etanímu, ki je sedmi mesec.
3 And all the elders of Israel arrived, and the priests took up the ark.
Prišli so vsi Izraelovi starešine in duhovniki so dvignili skrinjo.
4 And they carried the ark of the Lord, and the tabernacle of the covenant, and all the vessels of the Sanctuary, which were in the tabernacle; and the priests and the Levites carried these.
Gor so prinesli Gospodovo skrinjo, šotorsko svetišče skupnosti shoda in vse svete posode, ki so bile v šotorskem svetišču, celo te so duhovniki in Lévijevci prinesli gor.
5 Then king Solomon, and the entire multitude of Israel, who had assembled before him, advanced with him before the ark. And they immolated sheep and oxen, which could not be numbered or estimated.
Kralj Salomon in vsa Izraelova skupnost, ki je bila zbrana k njemu, so bili z njim pred skrinjo. Žrtvovali so ovce in vole, ki se jih zaradi množice ni dalo ne povedati ne prešteti.
6 And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the Lord to its place, into the oracle of the temple, in the Holy of Holies, under the wings of the cherubim.
Duhovniki so skrinjo Gospodove zaveze prinesli na njeno mesto, v hišni orakelj, k najsvetejšemu kraju, celo pod peruti kerubov.
7 For indeed, the cherubim extended their wings over the place of the ark, and they protected the ark and its bars from above.
Kajti keruba sta svoji dve peruti razprostirala nad prostorom skrinje in keruba sta od zgoraj pokrivala skrinjo in njena drogova.
8 And since the bars projected outward, their ends were visible from without, in the Sanctuary before the oracle; but they were not visible farther outward. And they have been in that place even to the present day.
Drogova so izvlekli, da sta se konca drogov videla iz svetega kraja pred orakljem, odzunaj pa nista bila vidna in tam sta do današnjega dne.
9 Now inside the ark, there was nothing other than the two tablets of stone, which Moses had placed in it at Horeb, when the Lord formed a covenant with the sons of Israel, when they departed from the land of Egypt.
V skrinji ni bilo ničesar razen dveh kamnitih plošč, ki ju je Mojzes položil tja pri Horebu, ko je Gospod sklenil zavezo z Izraelovi otroci, ko so prišli iz egiptovske dežele.
10 Then it happened that, when the priests had exited from the Sanctuary, a cloud filled the house of the Lord.
Pripetilo se je, ko so duhovniki prišli ven iz svetega kraja, da je oblak napolnil Gospodovo hišo,
11 And the priests were unable to stand and minister, because of the cloud. For the glory of the Lord had filled the house of the Lord.
tako da duhovniki zaradi oblaka niso mogli stati, da bi služili, kajti Gospodova slava je napolnila Gospodovo hišo.
12 Then Solomon said: “The Lord has said that he would dwell in a cloud.
Potem je spregovoril Salomon: » Gospod je rekel, da bo prebival v gosti temi.
13 Building, I have built a house as your dwelling place, your most firm throne forever.”
Zagotovo sem ti zgradil hišo, da prebivaš v njej, ustaljen kraj zate, da v njem prebivaš na veke.«
14 And the king turned his face, and he blessed the entire assembly of Israel. For the entire assembly of Israel was standing.
Kralj je obrnil svoj obraz naokrog in blagoslovil vso Izraelovo skupnost (in vsa Izraelova skupnost je stala)
15 And Solomon said: “Blessed is the Lord, the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to my father David, and who, with his own hands, has perfected it, saying:
in rekel je: »Blagoslovljen bodi Gospod, Izraelov Bog, ki je s svojimi usti spregovoril mojemu očetu Davidu in je to izpolnil s svojo roko, rekoč:
16 ‘From the day when I led my people Israel away from Egypt, I did not choose any city out of all the tribes of Israel, so that a house would be built, and so that my name might be there. Instead, I chose David to be over my people Israel.’
›Od dneva, ko sem svoje ljudstvo Izraela privedel ven iz Egipta, nisem izbral nobenega mesta izmed vseh Izraelovih rodov, da bi zgradil hišo, da bi bilo v njej lahko moje ime, temveč sem izbral Davida, da bo nad mojim ljudstvom Izraelom.‹
17 And my father David wanted to build a house to the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.
To je bilo na srcu mojega očeta Davida, da zgradi hišo za ime Gospoda, Izraelovega Boga.
18 But the Lord said to my father David: ‘Since you have planned in your heart to build a house to my name, you have done well by considering this plan in your mind.
Gospod je rekel mojemu očetu Davidu: ›Medtem ko je bilo to v tvojem srcu, da zgradiš hišo mojemu imenu, si storil dobro, da je bilo to v tvojem srcu.
19 Yet truly, you shall not build a house for me. Instead, your son, who shall go forth from your loins, he himself shall build a house to my name.’
Vendar pa hiše ne boš gradil ti, temveč tvoj sin, ki bo izšel iz tvojih ledij, on bo zgradil hišo mojemu imenu.‹
20 The Lord has confirmed his word which he spoke. And so I stand in place of my father David, and I sit upon the throne of Israel, just as the Lord said. And I have built a house to the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.
Gospod je izpolnil svojo besedo, ki jo je govoril in dvignjen sem bil na položaj svojega očeta Davida in sedim na Izraelovem prestolu, kakor je obljubil Gospod in zgradil sem hišo za ime Gospoda, Izraelovega Boga.
21 And there I have appointed a place for the ark, in which is the covenant of the Lord that he struck with our fathers, when they went forth from the land of Egypt.”
Tam sem pripravil prostor za skrinjo, v kateri je Gospodova zaveza, ki jo je on sklenil z našimi očeti, ko jih je privedel ven iz egiptovske dežele.«
22 Then Solomon stood before the altar of the Lord, in the sight of the assembly of Israel, and he extended his hands toward heaven.
Salomon je stal pred Gospodovim oltarjem v prisotnosti vse Izraelove skupnosti in svoji roki razširil proti nebu
23 And he said: “Lord God of Israel, there is no God like you, in heaven above, nor on the earth below. You preserve covenant and mercy with your servants, who walk before you with all their heart.
in rekel: » Gospod, Izraelov Bog, ni Boga, podobnega tebi, na nebu zgoraj ali na zemlji spodaj, ki ohranjaš zavezo in usmiljenje s svojimi služabniki, ki z vsem svojim srcem hodijo pred teboj,
24 You have fulfilled, for your servant David, my father, that which you said to him. With your mouth, you spoke; and with your hands, you completed; just as this day proves.
ki si svojemu služabniku Davidu, mojemu očetu, ohranil to, kar si mu obljubil. Govoril si s svojimi usti in si to tudi izpolnil s svojo roko, kakor je to ta dan.
25 Now therefore, O Lord God of Israel, fulfill, for your servant David, my father, that which you spoke to him, saying, ‘There shall not be taken away from you a man before me, who may sit upon the throne of Israel, if only your sons will guard their way, so that they walk before me, just as you have walked in my sight.’
Zato zdaj Gospod, Izraelov Bog, ohrani s svojim služabnikom Davidom, mojim očetom, to, kar si mu obljubil, rekoč: ›Ne bo ti zmanjkalo moža v mojem pogledu, da bi sedel na Izraelovem prestolu; samo da tvoji otroci pazijo na svojo pot, da hodijo pred menoj, kakor si ti hodil pred menoj.‹
26 And now, O Lord God of Israel, establish your words, which you spoke to your servant David, my father.
Sedaj, oh Izraelov Bog, naj bo tvoja beseda, prosim te, resnična, ki si jo govoril svojemu služabniku, mojemu očetu Davidu.
27 Is it, then, to be understood that truly God would dwell upon the earth? For if heaven, and the heavens of heavens, are not able to contain you, how much less this house, which I have built?
Toda ali bo Bog zares prebival na zemlji? Glej, nebo in nebesa nebes te ne morejo obseči, kako veliko manj ta hiša, ki sem jo zgradil?
28 Yet look with favor upon the prayer of your servant and upon his petitions, O Lord, my God. Listen to the hymn and the prayer, which your servant prays before you this day,
Vendar se ozri na molitev svojega služabnika in k njegovi ponižni prošnji, oh Gospod, moj Bog, da prisluhneš klicu in molitvi, ki jo ta dan tvoj služabnik moli pred teboj,
29 so that your eyes may be open over this house, night and day, over the house about which you said, ‘My name shall be there,’ so that you may heed the prayer that your servant is praying in this place to you.
da bodo tvoje oči lahko ponoči in podnevi odprte proti tej hiši, torej proti kraju, o katerem si rekel: ›Moje ime bo tam, ‹ da boš lahko prisluhnil molitvi, ki jo bo tvoj služabnik naredil k temu kraju.
30 So may you heed the supplication of your servant and of your people Israel, whatever they will pray for in this place, and so may you heed them in your dwelling place in heaven. And when you heed, you will be gracious.
Prisluhni ponižni prošnji svojega služabnika in svojega ljudstva Izraela, ko bodo molili k temu kraju. Pozorno poslušaj v nebesih, svojem prebivališču. In ko si pozorno slišal, odpusti.
31 But if any man sins against his neighbor, and he has any kind of an oath by which he is bound, and he arrives because of the oath, before your altar in your house,
Če se katerikoli človek prekrši zoper svojega bližnjega in je nanj položena prisega, da mu povzroči, da priseže in prisega pride pred tvoj oltar v tej hiši,
32 you will hear in heaven, and you will act and judge your servants, condemning the impious, and repaying his own way upon his own head, but justifying the just, and rewarding him in accord with his justice.
potem pozorno poslušaj v nebesih, ukrepaj in sodi svoja služabnika, obsodi zlobnega, da privedeš njegovo pot na njegovo glavo in opraviči pravičnega, da mu daš glede na njegovo pravičnost.
33 And if your people Israel will have fled from their enemies, because they have sinned against you, and doing penance and confessing to your name, shall arrive and pray and petition you in this house,
Ko bo tvoje ljudstvo Izrael udarjeno pred sovražnikom, ker so grešili zoper tebe in se bo ponovno obrnilo k tebi, priznalo tvoje ime, molilo in naredilo ponižno prošnjo k tebi v tej hiši,
34 listen in heaven, and forgive the sin of your people Israel, and lead them back to the land, which you gave to their fathers.
potem pozorno poslušaj v nebesih in odpusti greh svojega ljudstva Izraela in jih ponovno privedi v deželo, ki jo daješ njihovim očetom.
35 And if the heavens have closed, so that there is no rain, because of their sins, and they, praying in this place, shall do penance to your name, and shall be converted from their sins, by occasion of their afflictions,
Ko je nebo zaprto in ni dežja, ker so grešili zoper tebe; če molijo k temu kraju in priznajo tvoje ime in se obrnejo od svojega greha, ko si jih ti prizadel,
36 hear them from heaven, and forgive the sins of your servants and of your people Israel. And reveal to them the good way, along which they should walk, and grant rain upon your land, which you have given to your people as a possession.
potem pozorno poslušaj v nebesih in odpusti greh svojih služabnikov in svojega ljudstva Izraela, da jih naučiš dobro pot, po kateri naj bi hodili in jim daš dež na svojo deželo, ki si jo dal svojemu ljudstvu v dediščino.
37 Then, if famine rises over the land, or pestilence, or corrupt air, or blight, or locust, or mildew, or if their enemy afflicts them, besieging the gates, or any harm or infirmity,
Če bo v deželi lakota, če bo kužna bolezen, kvarjenje, plesen, leteča kobilica ali če bo tam gosenica; če jih njihov sovražnik oblega v deželi njihovih mest, kakršnakoli nadloga, kakršnakoli bolezen bo,
38 or whatever curse or divine intervention may happen to any man among your people Israel, if anyone understands, having been wounded in his heart, and if he will have extended his hands in this house,
kakršnokoli molitev in ponižno prošnjo bo naredil katerikoli človek ali vse tvoje ljudstvo Izrael, ki bo spoznal, vsak mož nadlogo svojega lastnega srca in bo svoje roke razširil proti tej hiši,
39 you will hear in heaven, in your dwelling place, and you will forgive. And you will act so that you give to each one in accord with his own ways, just as you see in his heart, for you alone know the heart of all the sons of men.
potem pozorno poslušaj v nebesih, svojem prebivališču, odpusti, ukrepaj in daj vsakemu možu glede na njegove poti, čigar srce poznaš (kajti ti, celó le ti, poznaš srca vseh človeških otrok),
40 So may they fear you, all the days that they live upon the face of the land, which you have given to our fathers.
da se te bodo lahko bali vse dni, ki jih živijo v deželi, ki si jo dal našim očetom.
41 Moreover, the foreigner too, who is not of your people Israel, when he will have arrived from a distant land because of your name, for they shall hear about your great name, and your strong hand,
Poleg tega glede tujca, ki ni iz tvojega ljudstva Izraela, temveč zaradi tvojega imena prihaja iz daljne dežele
42 and your outstretched arm everywhere: so when he arrives and prays in this place,
(kajti slišali bodo o tvojem velikem imenu, o tvoji močni roki in o tvojem iztegnjenem laktu), ko bo prišel in molil k tej hiši,
43 you will listen in heaven, in the firmament of your dwelling place. And you will do all the things, for which that foreigner will have called upon you. So may all the peoples of the earth learn to fear your name, just as your people Israel do. And so may they show that your name has been invoked over this house, which I have built.
pozorno poslušaj v nebesih, svojem bivališču in ukrepaj glede na vse, za kar bo tujec klical k tebi, da bo vse ljudstvo zemlje lahko spoznalo tvoje ime, da se te boji, kakor to dela tvoje ljudstvo Izrael in da bodo lahko vedeli, da je ta hiša, ki sem jo zgradil, imenovana po tvojem imenu.
44 And if your people have gone out to war against their enemies, along whatever way you will send them, they shall pray to you in the direction of the city, which you have chosen, and toward the house, which I have built to your name.
Če gre tvoje ljudstvo ven na bitko zoper svojega sovražnika, kamorkoli jih boš poslal in bodo molili h Gospodu, k mestu, ki si ga ti izbral in k hiši, ki sem jo zgradil za tvoje ime,
45 And you will hear in heaven their prayers and their petitions. And you will accomplish judgment for them.
potem pozorno poslušaj v nebesih njihovo molitev, njihovo ponižno prošnjo in obravnavaj njihov primer.
46 But if they sin against you, for there is no man who does not sin, and you, being angry, deliver them to their enemies, and they will have been led away as captives to the land of their enemies, whether far or near,
Če grešijo zoper tebe (kajti tam ni človeka, ki ne greši) in si jezen nanje in jih izročiš sovražniku, tako da jih odvedejo ujetnike v deželo sovražnika, daleč ali blizu,
47 and if they do penance in their heart, in the place of captivity, and having been converted, make supplication to you in their captivity, saying, ‘We have sinned; we acted unjustly; we committed impiety,’
vendar če si bodo premislili v deželi, kamor so bili odvedeni ujeti in se pokesajo in naredijo ponižno prošnjo k tebi, v deželi tistih, ki so jih odvedli ujete, rekoč: ›Grešili smo in storili pokvarjeno, zagrešili smo zlobnost‹
48 and they return to you with all their heart and all their soul, in the land of their enemies, to which they have been led away as captives, and if they pray to you in the direction of their land, which you gave to their fathers, and of the city, which you have chosen, and of the temple, which I have built to your name:
in se tako vrnejo k tebi z vsem svojim srcem in z vso svojo dušo v deželi svojih sovražnikov, ki so jih odvedli ujete in molijo k tebi, k svoji deželi, ki si jo dal njihovim očetom, mestu, ki si ga ti izbral in hiši, ki sem jo zgradil za tvoje ime,
49 you will hear in heaven, in the firmament of your throne, their prayers and their petitions. And you will accomplish their judgment.
potem pozorno poslušaj njihovo molitev in njihovo ponižno prošnjo v nebesih, svojem prebivališču in obravnavaj njihov primer
50 And you will forgive your people, who have sinned against you, and all their iniquities, by which they have transgressed against you. And you will grant to them mercy in the sight of those who have made them captives, so that they may take pity on them.
in odpusti svojemu ljudstvu, ker so grešili zoper tebe in vse njihove prestopke, s katerimi so se prekršili zoper tebe in jim daj sočutje pred tistimi, ki so jih odvedli ujete, da bodo lahko imeli sočutje do njih,
51 For they are your people and your inheritance, whom you have led away from the land of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron.
kajti oni so tvoje ljudstvo in tvoja dediščina, ki si jo privedel iz Egipta, iz srede železne talilne peči,
52 So may your eyes be open to the supplication of your servant and of your people Israel. And so may you heed them in all the things about which they will call upon you.
da bodo tvoje oči lahko odprte k ponižni prošnji tvojega služabnika in k ponižni prošnji tvojega ljudstva Izraela, da jim prisluhneš v vsem, v čemer kličejo k tebi.
53 For you have separated them to yourself as an inheritance, from among all the peoples of the earth, just as you spoke by Moses, your servant, when you led our fathers away from Egypt, O Lord God.”
Kajti oddvojil si jih izmed vsega zemeljskega ljudstva, da bi bili tvoja dediščina, kakor si govoril po roki svojega služabnika Mojzesa, ko si naše očete privedel iz Egipta, oh Gospod Bog.«
54 And it happened that, when Solomon had completed praying this entire prayer and supplication to the Lord, he rose up from the sight of the altar of the Lord. For he had fixed both knees upon the ground, and he had extended his hands toward heaven.
Bilo je tako, ko je Salomon nehal moliti vso to molitev in ponižno prošnjo h Gospodu, da je vstal izpred Gospodovega oltarja od klečanja na svojih kolenih, s svojima rokama, razširjenima k nebu.
55 Then he stood and blessed the entire assembly of Israel in a great voice, saying:
Vstal je in z močnim glasom blagoslovil vso Izraelovo skupnost, rekoč:
56 “Blessed is the Lord, who has given rest to his people Israel, in accord with all that he said. Not even one word, out of all the good things that he spoke by his servant Moses, has fallen away.
»Blagoslovljen bodi Gospod, ki je svojemu ljudstvu Izraelu dal počitek, glede na vse, kar je obljubil. Niti ena beseda ni manjkala od vse njegove dobre obljube, ki jo je obljubil po roki svojega služabnika Mojzesa.
57 May the Lord our God be with us, just as he was with our fathers, not abandoning us, and not rejecting us.
Gospod, naš Bog, naj bo z nami, kakor je bil z našimi očeti. Naj nas ne pusti niti naj nas ne zapusti,
58 But may he incline our hearts to himself, so that we may walk in all his ways, and keep his commandments, and his ceremonies, and whatever judgments he commanded to our fathers.
da bo lahko naša srca nagnil k sebi, da hodimo po vseh njegovih poteh in da ohranjamo vse njegove zapovedi, njegove zakone in njegove sodbe, ki jih je zapovedal našim očetom.
59 And may these my words, by which I have prayed before the Lord, be near to the Lord our God, day and night, so that he may accomplish judgment for his servant and for his people Israel, throughout each day.
Naj bodo te moje besede, s katerimi sem naredil ponižno prošnjo pred Gospodom, blizu Gospodu, našemu Bogu, podnevi in ponoči, da ohrani zadevo svojega služabnika in zadevo svojega ljudstva Izraela ob vseh časih, kakor bo stvar zahtevala,
60 So may all the peoples of the earth know that the Lord himself is God, and there is no other beside him.
da bo vse ljudstvo zemlje lahko vedelo, da Gospod je Bog in da tam ni nobenega drugega.
61 Also, may our hearts be perfect with the Lord our God, so that we may walk in his decrees, and keep his commandments, as also on this day.”
Naj bo vaše srce torej popolno z Gospodom, našim Bogom, da se ravna po njegovih zakonih in da ohranja njegove zapovedi, kakor je ta dan.«
62 Then the king, and all of Israel with him, immolated victims before the Lord.
Kralj in ves Izrael z njim je daroval klavno daritev pred Gospodom.
63 And Solomon slew sacrifices of peace offerings, which he immolated to the Lord: twenty-two thousand oxen, and twenty thousand one hundred sheep. And the king and all the sons of Israel dedicated the temple of the Lord.
Salomon je daroval žrtvovanje mirovnih daritev, ki jih je daroval Gospodu, dvaindvajset tisoč volov in sto dvajset tisoč ovc. Tako so kralj in vsi Izraelovi otroci posvetili Gospodovo hišo.
64 On that day, the king sanctified the middle of the atrium, which was before the house of the Lord. For in that place, he offered holocaust, and sacrifice, and the fat of peace offerings. For the bronze altar, which was before the Lord, was too small and was not able to hold the holocaust, and the sacrifice, and the fat of the peace offerings.
Istega dne je kralj posvetil sredino dvora, ki je bila pred Gospodovo hišo, kajti tam je daroval žgalne daritve, jedilne daritve in tolščo mirovnih daritev, ker je bil bronast oltar, ki je bil pred Gospodom, premajhen, da sprejme žgalne daritve, jedilne daritve in tolščo mirovnih daritev.
65 Then Solomon made, at that time, a celebratory festival, and all of Israel with him, a great multitude, from the entrance of Hamath to the river of Egypt, in the sight of the Lord our God, for seven days plus seven days, that is, fourteen days.
Ob tistem času je Salomon priredil praznovanje in ves Izrael z njim, velika skupnost, od vhoda v Hamát do egiptovske reke, pred Gospodom, svojim Bogom, sedem dni in sedem dni, torej štirinajst dni.
66 And on the eighth day, he dismissed the people. And blessing the king, they set out for their tents, rejoicing and cheerful in heart over all the good things that the Lord had done for his servant David and for his people Israel.
Na osmi dan je ljudstvo odposlal proč in blagoslovili so kralja in radostni in veselega srca zaradi vse dobrote, ki jo je Gospod storil za svojega služabnika Davida in za svoje ljudstvo Izrael, odšli k svojim šotorom.
