2 Chronicles 6
1 Then said Solomon, The LORD hath said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
Tada reče Salomon: “Jahve odluči prebivati u tmastu oblaku,
2 But I have built a house of habitation for thee, and a place for thy dwelling for ever.
a ja ti sagradih uzvišen Dom da u njemu prebivaš zauvijek.”
3 And the king turned his face, and blessed the whole congregation of Israel: and all the congregation of Israel stood.
I, okrenuvši se, kralj blagoslovi sav izraelski zbor, a sav je izraelski zbor stajao.
4 And he said, Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel, who hath with his hands fulfilled [that] which he spoke with his mouth to my father David, saying,
Reče on: “Neka je blagoslovljen Jahve, Bog Izraelov, koji svojom rukom ispuni obećanje što ga na svoja usta dade ocu mome Davidu, rekavši:
5 Since the day that I brought forth my people from the land of Egypt I chose no city among all the tribes of Israel to build a house in, that my name might be there; neither chose I any man to be a ruler over my people Israel:
'Od dana kad izvedoh svoj narod iz egipatske zemlje nisam izabrao grada ni iz kojeg Izraelova plemena da se u njemu sagradi Dom gdje bi prebivalo moje Ime, niti sam izabrao ikoga da vlada nad mojim narodom izraelskim.
6 But I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and have chosen David to be over my people Israel.
Ali sam izabrao Jeruzalem da u njemu obitava moje Ime i odabrao Davida da zapovijeda mojem narodu izraelskom.'
7 Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of the LORD God of Israel:
Otac mi David naumi podići Dom Imenu Jahve, Boga Izraelova,
8 But the LORD said to David my father, Forasmuch as it was in thy heart to build a house for my name, thou didst well in that it was in thy heart;
ali mu Jahve reče: 'Naumio si podići Dom Imenu mojem, i dobro učini,
9 Notwithstanding thou shalt not build the house; but thy son who shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house for my name.
ali nećeš ti podići toga Doma, nego tvoj sin koji izađe iz tvoga krila; on će podići Dom Imenu mojem.'
10 The LORD therefore hath performed his word that he hath spoken; for I am raised up in the room of David my father, and am set on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built the house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.
Jahve ispuni obećanje svoje: naslijedio sam oca Davida i sjeo na prijestolje Izraelovo, kako obeća Jahve, podigao Dom Imenu Jahve, Boga Izraelova,
11 And in it have I put the ark, in which [is] the covenant of the LORD, that he made with the children of Israel.
i namjestio Kovčeg u kojem je Savez što ga Jahve sklopi sa sinovima Izraelovim.”
12 And he stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands:
Tada Salomon stupi, u nazočnosti svega zbora Izraelova, pred žrtvenik Jahvin i raširi ruke.
13 (For Solomon had made a brazen scaffold, of five cubits long, and five cubits broad, and three cubits high, and had set it in the midst of the court: and upon it he stood, and kneeled upon his knees before all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands towards heaven, )
Salomon je, naime, bio napravio tučano podnožje, dugo pet lakata i široko pet lakata, a visoko tri lakta, i stavio ga nasred predvorja; stavši na nj, kleknuo je pred svim zborom Izraelovim i, raširivši ruke k nebu,
14 And said, O LORD God of Israel, [there is] no God like thee in the heaven, nor on the earth; who keepest covenant, and [showest] mercy to thy servants, that walk before thee with all their hearts:
rekao: “Jahve, Bože Izraelov! Nijedan ti bog nije sličan ni na nebesima ni na zemlji, tebi koji držiš Savez i ljubav svojim slugama što kroče pred tobom sa svim svojim srcem.
15 Thou who hast kept with thy servant David my father that which thou hast promised him; and hast spoken with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled [it] with thy hand, as [it is] this day.
Sluzi svome Davidu, mojem ocu, ispunio si što si mu obećao. Što si obećao na svoja usta, ispunio si svojom rukom upravo danas.
16 Now therefore, O LORD God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that which thou hast promised him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit upon the throne of Israel; provided thy children take heed to their way to walk in my law, as thou hast walked before me.
Jahve, Bože Izraelov, sada ispuni svome sluzi, ocu mome Davidu, što si mu obećao kad si rekao: 'Neće ti preda mnom nestati nasljednika koji bi sjedio na izraelskom prijestolju, samo ako tvoji sinovi budu čuvali svoje putove hodeći po mojem zakonu kako si ti hodio preda mnom.'
17 Now then, O LORD God of Israel, let thy word be verified, which thou hast spoken to thy servant David.
Jahve, Bože Izraelov, neka se sada dakle ispuni obećanje koje si dao svome sluzi Davidu!
18 But will God in very deed dwell with men on the earth? behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house which I have built!
Ali zar će Bog doista boraviti s ljudima na zemlji? TÓa nebesa ni nebesa nad nebesima ne mogu ga obuhvatiti, a kamoli ovaj Dom što sam ga sagradio!
19 Have respect therefore to the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O LORD my God, to hearken to the cry and the prayer which thy servant prayeth before thee:
Pomno počuj molitvu i vapaj svoga sluge, Jahve, Bože moj, te usliši prošnju i molitvu što je tvoj sluga k tebi upućuje!
20 That thy eyes may be open upon this house day and night, upon the place of which thou hast said, that thou wouldst put thy name there; to hearken to the prayer which thy servant prayeth towards this place.
Neka tvoje oči obdan i obnoć budu otvorene nad ovim Domom, nad ovim mjestom za koje reče da ćeš u nj smjestiti svoje Ime. Usliši molitvu koju će sluga tvoj izmoliti na ovome mjestu.
21 Hearken therefore to the supplications of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, which they shall make towards this place: hear thou from thy dwelling-place, [even] from heaven; and when thou hearest, forgive.
I usliši molitvu sluge svoga i naroda svojega izraelskog koju bude upravljao prema ovome mjestu. Usliši s mjesta gdje prebivaš, s nebesa, usliši i oprosti!
22 If a man shall sin against his neighbor, and an oath be laid upon him to make him swear, and the oath shall come before thy altar in this house;
Ako tko zgriješi protiv bližnjega i bude mu naređeno da se zakune i zakletva dođe pred tvoj žrtvenik u ovom Domu,
23 Then hear thou from heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, by requiting the wicked, by recompensing his way upon his own head; and by justifying the righteous, by giving him according to his righteousness.
ti je čuj s neba, postupaj i sudi svojim slugama, osudi krivca okrećući njegova nedjela na njegovu glavu, a nevina oslobodi postupajući s njime po nevinosti njegovoj.
24 And if thy people Israel shall be put to the worse before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee; and shall return and confess thy name, and pray and make supplication before thee in this house;
Ako narod tvoj poraze neprijatelji jer se ogriješio o tebe, ali se ipak k tebi obrati i proslavi Ime tvoje i u ovom se Domu pomoli i zavapije k tebi,
25 Then hear thou from the heavens, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again to the land which thou gavest to them and to their fathers.
onda ti čuj to s neba, oprosti grijehe svojem narodu izraelskom i dovedi ga natrag u zemlju koju si dao njima i njihovim očevima.
26 When the heaven is shut, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee; [yet] if they pray towards this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, when thou dost afflict them;
Ako se zatvori nebo i ne padne kiša jer su se ogriješili o tebe, pa ti se pomole na ovom mjestu i proslave Ime tvoje i obrate se od svojega grijeha kad ih ti poniziš,
27 Then hear thou from heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, when thou hast taught them the good way in which they should walk; and send rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy people for an inheritance.
tada čuj s neba i oprosti grijeh svojim slugama i svojem izraelskom narodu, pokazujući mu valjan put kojim će ići, i pusti kišu na zemlju koju si narodu svojem dao u baštinu.
28 If there shall be dearth in the land, if there be pestilence, if there be blasting, or mildew, locusts, or caterpillars; if their enemies shall besiege them in the cities of their land; whatever calamity, or whatever sickness [there be]:
Kad u zemlji zavlada glad, kuga, snijet i rđa, kad navale skakavci i gusjenice, kad neprijatelj ovoga naroda pritisne koja od njegovih vrata ili kad udari kakva druga nevolja ili boleština,
29 [Then] whatever prayer, [or] whatever supplication shall be made by any man, or by all the people of Israel, when every one shall know his own calamity, and his own grief, and shall spread forth his hands in this house:
počuj svaku molitvu, svaki vapaj od kojega god čovjeka ili od cijeloga tvoga naroda izraelskog; ako svaki osjeti bol u srcu i raširi ruke k ovom Domu,
30 Then hear thou from heaven thy dwelling-place, and forgive, and render to every man according to all his ways, whose heart thou knowest (for thou only knowest the hearts of the children of men: )
usliši im molitvu i vapaj njihov u nebu gdje boraviš i oprosti i daj svakomu po njegovim putovima, jer ti poznaješ srce njegovo; jer ti jedini prozireš srca ljudi
31 That they may fear thee, to walk in thy ways, so long as they live in the land which thou gavest to our fathers.
da te se boje idući tvojim putovima dokle god žive na zemlji što je ti dade našim očevima.
32 Moreover concerning the stranger, who is not of thy people Israel, but hath come from a distant country for thy great name's sake, and thy mighty hand, and thy out-stretched arm; if they come and pray in this house;
Pa i tuđinca, koji nije od tvojega naroda izraelskog, nego je stigao iz daleke zemlje radi veličine tvoga Imena i radi tvoje snažne ruke i podignute mišice, ako dođe i pomoli se u ovom Domu,
33 Then hear thou from the heavens, [even] from thy dwelling-place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for; that all people of the earth may know thy name, and fear thee, as [do] thy people Israel, and may know that this house which I have built is called by thy name.
usliši s neba, gdje prebivaš, usliši sve vapaje njegove da bi svi zemaljski narodi upoznali Ime tvoje i bojali te se kao narod tvoj izraelski i da znaju da je tvoje Ime prizvano nad ovaj Dom koji sam sagradio.
34 If thy people go out to war against their enemies by the way that thou shalt send them, and they pray to thee towards this city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name;
Kad narod tvoj krene na neprijatelja putem kojim ga ti uputiš i pomoli se tebi, okrenut gradu što si ga izabrao i prema Domu koji sam podigao tvome Imenu,
35 Then hear thou from the heavens their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.
usliši mu s neba molitvu i prošnju i učini mu pravdu.
36 If they sin against thee, (for [there is] no man who sinneth not, ) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them over before [their] enemies, and they carry them away captives to a land far off or near;
Kad ti sagriješe, jer nema čovjeka koji ne griješi, a ti ih, rasrdiv se na njih, predaš neprijateljima da ih zarobe i odvedu kao roblje u daleku ili blizu zemlju,
37 Yet [if] they bethink themselves in the land whither they are carried captive, and turn and pray to thee in the land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have done amiss, and have dealt wickedly;
pa ako se pokaju srcem u zemlji u koju budu dovedeni te se obrate i počnu te moliti za milost u zemlji svojih osvajača govoreći: 'Zgriješili smo'
38 If they return to thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, whither they have carried them captives, and pray towards their land which thou gavest to their fathers, and [towards] the city which thou hast chosen, and towards the house which I have built for thy name:
i tako se obrate tebi svim srcem i svom dušom u zemlji svoga ropstva u koju budu dovedeni kao roblje, i pomole se okrenuti k zemlji što je ti dade njihovim očevima i prema gradu koji si odabrao i prema Domu što sam ga podigao tvom Imenu,
39 Then hear thou from the heavens, [even] from thy dwelling-place, their prayer and their supplications, and maintain their cause, and forgive thy people who have sinned against thee.
usliši s neba, gdje prebivaš, njihovu molbu i njihove prošnje, učini im pravdu i oprosti svome narodu što ti je zgriješio.
40 Now, my God, let, I beseech thee, thy eyes be open, and [let] thy ears [be] attentive to the prayer [that is made] in this place.
Sada, Bože moj, neka tvoje oči budu otvorene i tvoje uši pažljive na molitve na ovom mjestu!
41 Now therefore arise, O LORD God, into thy resting-place, thou, and the ark of thy strength: let thy priests, O LORD God, be clothed with salvation, and let thy saints rejoice in goodness.
Pa sada ustani, o Bože Jahve, pođi k svojem počivalištu, ti i Kovčeg tvoje snage; neka se obuku u spasenje tvoji svećenici, o Bože Jahve, i vjerni tvoji neka se raduju u sreći!
42 O LORD God, turn not away the face of thy anointed: remember the mercies of David thy servant.
Bože Jahve, ne odvrati lica od svog pomazanika, spomeni se milostÄi što ih dade sluzi svome Davidu!”
