1 Kraljevima 8

1 Tada sabra Solomun starješine Izrailjeve i sve glavare plemenske, knezove domova otaèkih sinova Izrailjevijeh, k sebi u Jerusalim da se prenese kovèeg zavjeta Gospodnjega iz grada Davidova, a to je Sion.

Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers of the children of Israel, unto king Solomon in Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah out of the city of David, which is Zion.

2 I skupiše se k caru Solomunu svi ljudi Izrailjevi mjeseca Etanima na praznik, a taj je mjesec sedmi.

And all the men of Israel assembled themselves to king Solomon at the feast in the month Ethanim, that is, the seventh month.

3 I kad doðoše sve starješine Izrailjeve, podigoše sveštenici kovèeg;

And all the elders of Israel came; and the priests took up the ark.

4 I prenesoše kovèeg Gospodnji i šator od sastanka i sve sude svete što bjehu u šatoru; prenesoše ih sveštenici i Leviti.

And they brought up the ark of Jehovah, and the tent of meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the tent: the priests and the Levites brought them up.

5 A car Solomun i sav zbor Izrailjev, koji se sabra k njemu, prinesoše s njim pred kovèegom ovaca i goveda toliko da se ne mogaše ni izbrojiti ni proraèunati od mnoštva.

And king Solomon, and all the assembly of Israel that were assembled to him, [who were] with him before the ark, sacrificed sheep and oxen, which could not be counted nor numbered for multitude.

6 I unesoše sveštenici kovèeg zavjeta Gospodnjega na njegovo mjesto, u unutrašnji dom, u svetinju nad svetinjama, pod krila heruvimima.

And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of Jehovah to its place, into the oracle of the house, into the most holy place, under the wings of the cherubim;

7 Jer heruvimima bijahu raširena krila nad mjestom gdje æe stajati kovèeg, i zaklanjahu heruvimi kovèeg i poluge njegove ozgo.

for the cherubim stretched forth [their] wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and its staves above.

8 I povukoše mu poluge tako da se krajevi viðahu u svetinji na prednjoj strani svetinje nad svetinjama, ali se napolje ne viðahu; i ondje ostaše do današnjega dana.

And the staves were long, so that the ends of the staves were seen from the holy place before the oracle, but they were not seen without. And there they are to this day.

9 U kovèegu ne bješe ništa osim dvije ploèe kamene, koje metnu u nj Mojsije na Horivu, kad Gospod uèini zavjet sa sinovima Izrailjevijem pošto izidoše iz zemlje Misirske.

There was nothing in the ark save the two tables of stone which Moses placed there at Horeb, when Jehovah made [a covenant] with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.

10 A kad sveštenici izidoše iz svetinje, oblak napuni dom Gospodnji,

And it came to pass when the priests were come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of Jehovah,

11 Te ne mogahu sveštenici stajati da služe od oblaka; jer se slave Gospodnje napuni dom Gospodnji.

and the priests could not stand to do their service because of the cloud; for the glory of Jehovah had filled the house of Jehovah.

12 Tada reèe Solomun: Gospod je rekao da æe nastavati u mraku.

Then said Solomon: Jehovah said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.

13 Sazidah dom tebi za stan, mjesto, da u njemu nastavaš dovijeka.

I have indeed built a house of habitation for thee, a settled place for thee to abide in for ever.

14 I okrenuvši se licem svojim car blagoslovi sav zbor Izrailjev, a sav zbor Izrailjev stajaše.

And the king turned his face, and blessed the whole congregation of Israel; and the whole congregation of Israel stood.

15 I reèe: blagosloven da je Gospod Bog Izrailjev, koji je govorio svojim ustima Davidu ocu mojemu i ispunio rukom svojom, govoreæi:

And he said: Blessed be Jehovah the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth unto David my father, and hath with his hand fulfilled it, saying,

16 Od onoga dana kad izvedoh iz Misira narod svoj Izrailja ne izabrah nijednoga grada meðu svijem plemenima Izrailjevijem da se sazida dom gdje bi bilo ime moje, nego izabrah Davida da bude nad narodom mojim Izrailjem.

Since the day that I brought forth my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house in, that my name might be there; but I have chosen David to be over my people Israel.

17 I naumi David otac moj da sazida dom imenu Gospoda Boga Izrailjeva.

And it was in the heart of David my father to build a house unto the name of Jehovah the God of Israel.

18 Ali Gospod reèe Davidu ocu mojemu: što si naumio sazidati dom imenu mojemu, dobro si uèinio što si to naumio;

But Jehovah said to David my father, Whereas it was in thy heart to build a house unto my name, thou didst well that it was in thy heart;

19 Ali neæeš ti sazidati toga doma, nego sin tvoj, koji æe izaæi iz bedara tvojih, on æe sazidati dom imenu mojemu.

nevertheless thou shalt not build the house; but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house unto my name.

20 I tako ispuni Gospod rijeè svoju koju reèe; jer ustah na mjesto oca svojega Davida, i sjedoh na prijesto Izrailjev, kao što reèe Gospod, i sazidah ovaj dom imenu Gospoda Boga Izrailjeva.

And Jehovah has performed his word which he spoke; and I am risen up in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as Jehovah promised, and I have built the house unto the name of Jehovah the God of Israel.

21 I odredih ovdje mjesto kovèegu u kom je zavjet Gospodnji što je uèinio s ocima našim kad ih je izveo iz zemlje Misirske.

And I have set there a place for the ark, wherein is the covenant of Jehovah, which he made with our fathers when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.

22 Potom stade Solomun pred oltar Gospodnji pred svijem zborom Izrailjevijem, i podiže ruke svoje k nebu,

And Solomon stood before the altar of Jehovah in the presence of the whole congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward the heavens.

23 I reèe: Gospode Bože Izrailjev! nema Boga takoga kakav si ti gore na nebu ni dolje na zemlji, koji èuvaš zavjet i milost slugama svojim, koje hode pred tobom svijem srcem svojim;

And he said, Jehovah, God of Israel! there is no God like thee, in the heavens above, or on the earth beneath, who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants that walk before thee with all their heart;

24 Koji si ispunio sluzi svojemu Davidu ocu mojemu što si mu rekao; što si ustima svojim rekao to si rukom svojom ispunio, kao što se vidi danas.

who hast kept with thy servant David my father that which thou didst promise him; thou spokest with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled [it] with thy hand, as at this day.

25 Sada dakle, Gospode Bože Izrailjev, drži sluzi svojemu Davidu ocu mojemu što si mu rekao govoreæi: neæe ti nestati èovjeka ispred mene koji bi sjedio na prijestolu Izrailjevu, samo ako sinovi tvoji ušèuvaju put svoj hodeæi preda mnom, kao što si ti hodio preda mnom.

And now, Jehovah, 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 on the throne of Israel, if only thy sons take heed to their way, to walk before me as thou hast walked before me.

26 Sada dakle, Bože Izrailjev, neka se potvrdi rijeè tvoja koju si rekao sluzi svojemu Davidu ocu mojemu.

And now, O God of Israel, let thy words, I pray thee, be verified, which thou hast spoken unto thy servant David my father.

27 Ali hoæe li doista Bog stanovati na zemlji? Eto, nebo i nebesa nad nebesima ne mogu te obuhvatiti, akamoli ovaj dom što ga sazidah?

But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, the heavens, and the heaven of heavens, cannot contain thee; how much less this house which I have built!

28 Ali pogledaj na molitvu sluge svojega i na molbu njegovu, Gospode Bože moj, èuj viku i molitvu, kojim ti se danas moli sluga tvoj;

Yet have respect unto the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, Jehovah, my God, to hearken unto the cry and to the prayer which thy servant prayeth before thee this day;

29 Da budu oèi tvoje otvorene nad domom ovijem dan i noæ, nad ovijem mjestom, za koje si rekao: tu æe biti ime moje; da èuješ molitvu kojom æe se moliti sluga tvoj na ovom mjestu.

that thine eyes may be open upon this house night and day, upon the place of which thou hast said, My name shall be there: to hearken unto the prayer which thy servant prayeth toward this place.

30 Èuj molbu sluge svojega i naroda svojega Izrailja, kojom æe se moliti na ovom mjestu; èuj s mjesta gdje stanuješ, s neba, èuj, i smiluj se.

And hearken unto the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place, and hear thou in thy dwelling-place, in the heavens, and when thou hearest, forgive.

31 Kad ko zgriješi bližnjemu svojemu te mu se da zakletva da se zakune, i zakletva doðe pred tvoj oltar u ovom domu,

If a man have sinned against his neighbour, and an oath be laid upon him to adjure him, and the oath come before thine altar in this house;

32 Ti èuj s neba, i uèini i sudi slugama svojim, osuðujuæi krivca i djela njegova obraæajuæi na njegovu glavu, a pravoga pravdajuæi i plaæajuæi mu po pravdi njegovoj.

then hear thou in the heavens, and do, and judge thy servants, condemning the wicked, to bring his way upon his own head; and justifying the righteous, giving him according to his righteousness.

33 Kad razbiju neprijatelji narod tvoj Izrailja zato što ti zgriješe, pa se obrate k tebi i dadu slavu imenu tvojemu, i pomole ti se i zamole te u ovom domu,

When thy people Israel are put to the worse before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee, and shall turn again to thee, and confess thy name, and pray, and make supplication unto thee in this house;

34 Ti èuj s neba, i oprosti grijeh narodu svojemu Izrailju, i dovedi ih opet u zemlju koju si dao ocima njihovijem.

then hear thou in the heavens, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again unto the land that thou gavest unto their fathers.

35 Kad se zatvori nebo, te ne bude dažda zato što zgriješe tebi, pa ti se zamole na ovom mjestu i dadu slavu imenu tvojemu, i od grijeha se svojega obrate, kad ih namuèiš,

When the heavens are shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee; if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, because thou hast afflicted them;

36 Ti èuj s neba, i oprosti grijeh slugama svojim i narodu svojemu Izrailju pokazav im put dobri kojim æe hoditi, i pusti dažd na zemlju svoju, koju si dao narodu svojemu u našljedstvo.

then hear thou in the heavens, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, when thou teachest them the good way wherein they should walk; and give rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy people for an inheritance.

37 Kad bude glad u zemlji, kad bude pomor, suša, medljika, skakavci, gusjenice, ili kad ga pritijesni neprijatelj njegov u zemlji njegovoj vlastitoj, ili kako god zlo, kaka god bolest,

If there be famine in the land, if there be pestilence, if there be blight, mildew, locust, caterpillar; if their enemy besiege them in the land of their gates; whatever plague, whatever sickness there be:

38 Svaku molbu i svaku molitvu, koja bude od koga god èovjeka ili od svega tvojega naroda Izrailja, ko pozna muku srca svojega i podigne ruke svoje u ovom domu,

what prayer, what supplication soever be made by any man, of all thy people Israel, when they shall know every man the plague of his own heart, and shall spread forth his hands toward this house;

39 Ti èuj s neba, iz stana svojega, i smiluj se i uèini i podaj svakome po svijem putovima njegovijem, koje znaš u srcu njegovu; jer ti sam znaš srca svijeh sinova èovjeèijih;

then hear thou in the heavens, the settled place of thy dwelling, and forgive, and do, and render unto every man according to all his ways, whose heart thou knowest (for thou, thou only, knowest the hearts of all the children of men),

40 Da te se boje dokle su god živi na zemlji koju si dao ocima našim.

that they may fear thee all the days that they live upon the land which thou gavest unto our fathers.

41 I stranac, koji nije od tvojega naroda Izrailja, nego doðe iz daljnje zemlje imena tvojega radi,

And as to the stranger also, who is not of thy people Israel, but cometh out of a far country for thy name's sake

42 Jer æe se èuti za ime tvoje veliko i za ruku tvoju krjepku i mišicu tvoju podignutu) kad doðe i pomoli se u ovom domu,

(for they shall hear of thy great name, and of thy mighty hand, and of thy stretched-out arm); when he shall come and pray toward this house,

43 Ti èuj s neba, iz stana svojega, i uèini sve za što povièe k tebi onaj stranac, da bi poznali ime tvoje svi narodi na zemlji i bojali se tebe kao narod tvoj Izrailj, i da bi znali da je ime tvoje prizvano nad ovijem domom, koji sazidah.

hear thou in the heavens thy dwelling-place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for; in order that all peoples of the earth may know thy name, [and] that they may fear thee as do thy people Israel; and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by thy name.

44 Kad narod tvoj izide na vojsku na neprijatelja svojega putem kojim ga pošlješ, i pomole se Gospodu obrativši se ka gradu, koji si izabrao, i k domu, koji sam sazidao imenu tvojemu,

If thy people go out to battle against their enemy, by the way that thou shalt send them, and they pray to Jehovah toward the city that thou hast chosen, and the house that I have built unto thy name;

45 Èuj s neba molbu njihovu, i podaj im pravicu.

then hear thou in the heavens their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their right.

46 Kad ti zgriješe, jer nema èovjeka koji ne griješi, i razgnjevivši se na njih daš ih neprijateljima njihovijem, te ih zarobe i odvedu u zemlju neprijateljsku daleko ili blizu,

If they have sinned against thee, (for there is no man that sinneth not, ) and thou be angry with them, and give them up to the enemy, and they have carried them away captives unto the enemy's land, far or near;

47 Ako se dozovu u zemlji u koju budu odvedeni u ropstvo, i obrate se i stanu ti se moliti u zemlji onijeh koji ih zarobiše, i reku: sagriješismo i zlo uèinismo, skrivismo,

and if they shall take it to heart in the land whither they were carried captive, and repent, and make supplication unto thee in the land of them that carried them captive, saying, We have sinned, and have done iniquity, we have dealt perversely;

48 I tako se obrate k tebi svijem srcem svojim i svom dušom svojom u zemlji neprijatelja svojih, koji ih zarobe, i pomole ti se okrenuvši se k zemlji svojoj, koju si dao ocima njihovijem, ka gradu, koji si izabrao, i k domu, koji sam sazidao imenu tvojemu,

and if they return unto thee with all their heart and with all their soul, in the land of their enemies who led them away captive, and pray unto thee toward their land which thou gavest unto their fathers, the city that thou hast chosen, and the house that I have built unto thy name;

49 Tada èuj s neba, iz stana svojega, molbu njihovu i molitvu njihovu, i podaj im pravicu,

then hear thou in the heavens, the settled place of thy dwelling, their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their right;

50 I oprosti narodu svojemu što ti budu zgriješili, i sve prijestupe kojima ti budu prestupili, i umilostivi im one koji ih zarobe da se smiluju na njih.

and forgive thy people their sin against thee, and all their transgressions whereby they have transgressed against thee, and give them to find compassion with those who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them

51 Jer su tvoj narod i tvoje našljedstvo, koje si izveo iz Misira, isred peæi gvozdene.

(for they are thy people, and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron) —

52 Neka budu oèi tvoje otvorene na molbu sluge tvojega i na molbu naroda tvojega Izrailja, i èuj ih kad te god prizovu.

thine eyes being open unto the supplication of thy servant, and unto the supplication of thy people Israel, to hearken unto them in all that they call for unto thee.

53 Jer si ih ti odvojio sebi za našljedstvo od svijeh naroda na zemlji, kao što si rekao preko Mojsija sluge svojega, kad si izveo oce naše iz Misira, Gospode, Gospode!

For thou hast separated them from among all peoples of the earth, to be thine inheritance, as thou spokest through Moses thy servant, when thou broughtest our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord Jehovah.

54 A kad Solomun moleæi se Gospodu svrši svu ovu molbu i molitvu, usta ispred oltara Gospodnjega, gdje bješe klekao i ruke svoje podigao k nebu;

And it was so, that when Solomon had ended praying all this prayer and supplication to Jehovah, he arose from before the altar of Jehovah, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread forth to the heavens,

55 I stojeæi blagoslovi sav zbor Izrailjev, glasom velikim govoreæi:

and he stood and blessed the whole congregation of Israel with a loud voice, saying,

56 Blagosloven da je Gospod koji je smirio narod svoj Izrailja, kao što je govorio; nije izostala nijedna rijeè od svijeh dobrijeh rijeèi njegovijeh, koje je govorio preko Mojsija sluge svojega.

Blessed be Jehovah, who has given rest to his people Israel, according to all that he promised: there has not failed one word of all his good promises which he spoke through Moses his servant!

57 Da Gospod Bog naš bude s nama kao što je bio s ocima našim, da nas ne ostavi i ne napusti.

Jehovah our God be with us, as he was with our fathers; let him not forsake us nor cast us off:

58 Nego neka prigne srce naše k sebi da bismo hodili svijem putovima njegovijem i držali zapovijesti njegove i uredbe njegove i zakone njegove, što je zapovjedio ocima našim.

that he may incline our hearts to him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his ordinances, which he commanded our fathers.

59 I neka budu ove rijeèi moje, kojima se molih Gospodu, blizu Gospoda Boga našega dan i noæ, da bi davao pravicu sluzi svojemu i narodu svojemu Izrailju u svako doba;

And let these my words, with which I have made supplication before Jehovah, be nigh to Jehovah our God day and night, that he maintain the right of his servant, and the right of his people Israel, as the matter of each day shall require;

60 Da bi poznali svi narodi na zemlji da je Gospod sam Bog i da nema drugoga.

that all peoples of the earth may know that Jehovah is God, that there is none else;

61 I neka srce vaše bude cijelo prema Gospodu Bogu našem, da hodite po uredbama njegovijem i držite zapovijesti njegove kao danas.

and that your heart may be perfect with Jehovah our God, to walk in his statutes and to keep his commandments, as at this day.

62 Tada car i sav Izrailj s njim prinesoše žrtve pred Gospodom.

And the king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifices before Jehovah.

63 I Solomun prinese na žrtvu zahvalnu, koju prinese Gospodu, dvadeset i dvije tisuæe volova i sto i dvadeset tisuæa ovaca. Tako posvetiše dom Gospodnji car i svi sinovi Izrailjevi.

And Solomon sacrificed a sacrifice of peace-offerings, which he sacrificed to Jehovah, twenty-two thousand oxen and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the house of Jehovah.

64 U taj dan posveti car sredinu trijema koji je pred domom Gospodnjim; jer ondje prinese žrtve paljenice i dare i pretilinu od žrtava zahvalnijeh; jer mjedeni oltar koji bijaše pred Gospodom bijaše malen i ne mogahu na nj stati žrtve paljenice i dari i pretilina od žrtava zahvalnijeh.

The same day the king hallowed the middle of the court that was before the house of Jehovah; for there he offered the burnt-offerings, and the oblations, and the fat of the peace-offerings, because the brazen altar that was before Jehovah was too small to receive the burnt-offerings, and the oblations, and the fat of the peace-offerings.

65 I u to vrijeme praznova Solomun praznik i sav Izrailj s njim, sabor velik od ulaska u Emat do potoka Misirskoga, pred Gospodom Bogom našim, sedam dana i opet sedam dana, to je èetrnaest dana.

And at that time Solomon held the feast, and all Israel with him, a great congregation, from the entrance of Hamath unto the torrent of Egypt, before Jehovah our God, seven days and seven days, fourteen days.

66 A u osmi dan otpusti narod; i blagosloviše cara i otidoše k šatorima svojim radujuæi se i veseleæi se u srcu za sve dobro što uèini Gospod Davidu sluzi svojemu i Izrailju narodu svojemu.

On the eighth day he sent the people away; and they blessed the king, and went to their tents, joyful and glad of heart for all the goodness that Jehovah had done to David his servant, and to Israel his people.
