2 Chronicles 7

1 And when Solomon had made an end of his prayer, Are came down from heaven, and consumed the holocausts and the victims: and the majesty of the Lord tilled the house.

Kad Salomon dovrši molitvu, spusti se oganj s neba i spali paljenicu i klanice i slava Jahvina ispuni Dom.

2 Neither could the priests enter into the temple of the Lord, because the majesty of the Lord had filled the temple of the Lord.

Svećenici ne mogoše ući, jer slava Jahvina bješe ispunila Dom Jahvin.

3 Moreover all the children of Israel saw the fire coming down, and the glory of the Lord upon the house: and falling down with their faces to the ground, upon the stone pavement, they adored and praised the Lord: because he is good, because his mercy endureth for ever.

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”.

4 And the king and all the people sacrificed victims before the Lord.

Potom kralj i čitav narod stadoše žrtvovati žrtve pred Jahvom.

5 And king Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty-two thousand oxen, and one hundred and twenty thousand rams: and the king and all the people dedicated the house of God.

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.

6 And the priests stood in their offices: and the Levites with the instruments of music of the Lord, which king David made to praise the Lord: because his mercy endureth for ever, singing the hymns of David by their ministry: and the priests sounded with trumpets before them, and all Israel stood.

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.

7 Solomon also sanctified the middle of the court before the temple of the Lord: for he offered there the holocausts, and the fat of the peace offerings: because the brazen altar, which he had made, could not hold the holocausts and the sacrifices and the fat:

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.

8 And Solomon kept the solemnity at that time seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great congregation, from the entrance of Emath to the torrent of Egypt.

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.

9 And he made on the eighth day a solemn assembly, because he had kept the dedication of the altar seven days, and had celebrated the solemnity seven days.

A osmoga su dana svetkovali svečani zbor, jer su posvetu žrtveniku svetkovali sedam dana i blagdan sedam dana.

10 So on the three and twentieth day of the seventh month he sent away the people to their dwellings, joyful and glad for the good that the Lord had done to David, and to Solomon, and to all Israel his people.

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.

11 And Solomon finished the house of the Lord, and the king’s house, and all that he had designed in his heart to do, in the house of the Lord, and in his own house, and he prospered.

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.

12 And the Lord appeared to him by night, and said: I have heard thy prayer, and I have chosen this place to myself for a house of sacrifice.

Potom se Jahve ukaza Salomonu noću i reče mu: “Uslišao sam tvoju molitvu i izabrao to mjesto da mi bude Dom žrtve.

13 If I shut up heaven, and there fall no rain, or if I give orders, and command the locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people:

Ako zatvorim nebo da ne bude dažda, ili zapovjedim skakavcima da popasu zemlju, ili pustim kugu na svoj narod,

14 And my people, upon whom my name is called, being converted, shall make supplication to me, and seek out my face, and do penance for their most wicked ways: then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins and will heal their land.

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.

15 My eyes also shall be open, and my ears attentive to the prayer of him that shall pray in this place.

Moje će oči biti otvorene i moje uši pažljive na molitvu s ovoga mjesta.

16 For I have chosen, and have sanctified this place, that my name may be there for ever, and my eyes and my heart may remain there perpetually.

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.

17 And as for thee, if thou walk before me, as David thy father walked, and do according to all that I have commanded thee, and keep my justices and my judgments:

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,

18 I will raise up the throne of thy kingdom, as I promised to David thy father, saying: There shall not fail thee a man of thy stock to be ruler in Israel.

uzdržat ću tvoje kraljevsko prijestolje kako sam obećao tvome ocu Davidu govoreći: 'Neće ti ponestati nasljednika koji bi vladao u Izraelu.'

19 But if you turn away, and forsake my justices, and my commandments which I have set before you, and shall go and serve strange gods, and adore them,

Ali ako me ostavite i napustite uredbe i zapovijedi koje sam vam dao te otiđete i počnete služiti tuđim bogovima i klanjati im se,

20 I will pluck you up by the root out of my land which I have given you: and this house which I have sanctified to my name, I will cast away from before my face, and will make it a byword, and an example among all nations.

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.

21 And this house shall be for a proverb to all that pass by, and they shall be astonished and say: Why hath the Lord done thus to this land, and to this house?

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?'

22 And they shall answer: Because they forsook the Lord the God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on strange gods, and adored them, and worshipped them: therefore all these evils are come upon them.

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.'”
