2 Chronicles 7
1 Now when Solomon had finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offerings and sacrifices, and the glory of Yahweh filled the house.
Kad Salomon dovrši molitvu, spusti se oganj s neba i spali paljenicu i klanice i slava Jahvina ispuni Dom.
2 The priests could not enter the house of Yahweh, because his glory filled his house.
Svećenici ne mogoše ući, jer slava Jahvina bješe ispunila Dom Jahvin.
3 When all the people of Israel saw the fire come down and the glory of Yahweh over the house, they bowed down with their faces to the ground on the stone pavement and worshiped and gave thanks to Yahweh. They said, “For he is good, for his covenant loyalty endures forever.”
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 So the king and all the people offered sacrifices to Yahweh.
Potom kralj i čitav narod stadoše žrtvovati žrtve pred Jahvom.
5 King Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty-two thousand oxen and 120,000 sheep and goats. So 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 The priests stood, each standing where they serve; the Levites also with instruments of music of Yahweh, which David the king had made to give thanks to Yahweh in the song, “For his covenant faithfulness endures for ever.” All the priests sounded 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 set apart the middle of the courtyard in front of the house of Yahweh. There he offered the burnt offerings and the fat of the fellowship offerings, because the bronze altar that he had made was not able to hold the burnt offerings, the grain offerings, 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 So Solomon held the festival at that time for seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great assembly, from Lebo Hamath to the brook 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 On the eighth day they held a solemn assembly, for they kept the dedication of the altar for seven days, and the feast for seven days.
A osmoga su dana svetkovali svečani zbor, jer su posvetu žrtveniku svetkovali sedam dana i blagdan sedam dana.
10 On the twenty-third day of the seventh month, Solomon sent the people away to their homes with glad and joyful hearts because of the goodness that Yahweh had shown to David, Solomon, and 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 Thus Solomon finished the house of Yahweh and his own house. Everything that came into Solomon's heart to make in the house of Yahweh and in his own house, he successfully carried out.
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 Yahweh appeared to Solomon by night and said to him, “I have heard your prayer, and I have chosen this place for myself as 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 Suppose that I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send disease among my people,
Ako zatvorim nebo da ne bude dažda, ili zapovjedim skakavcima da popasu zemlju, ili pustim kugu na svoj narod,
14 then if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and 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 Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers that are made in this place.
Moje će oči biti otvorene i moje uši pažljive na molitvu s ovoga mjesta.
16 For I have now chosen and set apart this house that my name may be there forever. My eyes and my heart will be there every day.
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 As for you, if you walk before me as David your father walked, obeying all that I have commanded you and keeping my statutes and my decrees,
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 then I will establish the throne of your kingdom, as I said in a covenant with David your father, when I said, 'A descendant of yours will never fail 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 statutes and my commandments that I have placed before you, and if you go worship other gods and bow down to 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 then I will uproot them from out of my ground that I have given them. This house that I have set apart for my name, I will cast away from before me, and I will make it a proverb and a joke among all the peoples.
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 Even though this temple is so lofty now, everyone who passes by it will be shocked and will hiss. They will ask, 'Why has Yahweh done this 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 Others will answer, 'Because they forsook Yahweh, their God, who had brought their ancestors out of the land of Egypt, and they laid hold of other gods and bowed down to them and worshiped them. That is why Yahweh has brought all this disaster on 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.'”
