2 Dnevnika 6

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

Then Solomon said, “Yahweh has said that he would live in thick darkness,

2 A ja sazidah dom tebi za stan i mjesto da u njemu nastavaš dovijeka.

but I have built you a lofty residence, a place for you to live in forever.”

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

Then the king turned around and blessed all the assembly of Israel, while all the assembly of Israel was standing.

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

He said, “May Yahweh, the God of Israel, be praised, who spoke to David my father, and has fulfilled it with his own hands, saying,

5 Od onoga dana kad izvedoh narod svoj iz zemlje Misirske, ne izabrah grada meðu svijem plemenima Izrailjevijem da se sazida dom gdje bi bilo ime moje, niti izabrah èovjeka koji bi bio voð narodu mojemu Izrailju,

'Since the day that I brought my people out of the land of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel in which to build a house, in order for my name to be there. Neither did I choose any man to be prince over my people Israel.

6 Nego izabrah Jerusalim da u njemu bude ime moje, i izabrah Davida da bude nad narodom mojim Izrailjem.

However, I have chosen Jerusalem, so that my name might be there, and I have chosen David to be over my people Israel.'

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

Now it was in the heart of David my father, to build a house for the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel.

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

But Yahweh said to David my father, 'In that it was in your heart to build a house for my name, you did well for it to be in your heart.

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

Nevertheless, you must not build the house; instead, your son, one who will come from your loins, will build the house for my name.'

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

Yahweh has carried out the word that he had said, for I have arisen in the place of David my father, and I sit on the throne of Israel, as Yahweh promised. I have built the house for the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel.

11 I namjestih ovdje kovèeg, u kom je zavjet Gospodnji što je uèinio sa sinovima Izrailjevijem.

I have placed the ark there, in which is Yahweh's covenant, which he made with the people of Israel.”

12 Potom stade Solomun pred oltar Gospodnji pred svijem zborom Izrailjevijem, i podiže ruke svoje.

Solomon stood before the altar of Yahweh in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands.

13 A bješe naèinio Solomun podnožje od mjedi i metnuo ga nasred trijema, pet lakata dugo i pet lakata široko, a tri lakta visoko; pa stade na nj, i kleèe na koljena pred svijem zborom Izrailjevijem, i podiže ruke svoje k nebu.

For he had made a bronze platform, five cubits long, five cubits wide, and three cubits high. He had placed it in the middle of the courtyard. He stood on it and knelt down before all the assembly of Israel, and then he spread out his hands toward the heavens.

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

He said, “Yahweh, God of Israel, there is no God like you in the heavens or on the earth, who keeps covenant and steadfast love with your servants who walk before you with all their heart;

15 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.

you who have kept with your servant David my father, what you promised him. Yes, you spoke with your mouth and have fulfilled it with your hand, as it is today.

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

Now then, Yahweh, God of Israel, carry out what you have promised to your servant David my father, when you said, 'You will not fail to have a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if only your descendants are careful to walk in my law, as you have walked before me.'

17 Sada dakle, Gospode Bože Izrailjev, neka se potvrdi rijeè tvoja koju si rekao sluzi svojemu Davidu.

Now then, Yahweh, God of Israel, let your word be confirmed, which you have spoken to your servant David.

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

But will God actually live with mankind on the earth? Look, the entire universe and heaven itself cannot contain you—how much less can this temple that I have built!

19 Ali pogledaj na molitvu sluge svojega i na molbu njegovu, Gospode Bože moj, èuj viku i molitvu kojom ti se danas moli sluga tvoj.

Yet please respect this prayer of your servant and his request, Yahweh my God; listen to the cry and prayer that your servant prays before you.

20 Da budu oèi tvoje otvorene nad domom ovijem danju i noæu, nad ovijem mjestom, gdje si rekao da æeš namjestiti ime svoje, da èuješ molitvu kojom æe se moliti sluga tvoj na ovom mjestu.

May your eyes be open toward this temple day and night, the place where you promised to put your name. May you listen to the prayer your servant prays toward this place.

21 Èuj molbe sluge svojega i naroda svojega Izrailja, kojima æe se moliti na ovom mjestu, èuj s mjesta gdje stanuješ, s neba, èuj i smiluj se.

So listen to the requests of your servant and of your people Israel when we pray toward this place. Yes, listen from the place where you live, from the heavens; and when you listen, forgive.

22 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 sins against his neighbor and is required to swear an oath, and if he comes and swears an oath before your altar in this house,

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

listen from the heavens and act. Judge your servants, condemning the guilty and bringing what he has done upon his own head. Declare the innocent not guilty and give to him according to his righteousness.

24 I kad se razbije pred neprijateljem narod tvoj Izrailj zato što ti zgriješe, pa se obrate i dadu slavu imenu tvojemu i pomole ti se i zamole te u ovom domu,

When your people Israel are defeated by an enemy because they have sinned against you, if they turn back to you, confess your name, pray, and request forgiveness before you in this temple—

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

then please listen from the heavens and forgive the sin of your people Israel; bring them back to the land that you gave to them and to their ancestors.

26 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 skies are shut up and there is no rain because the people have sinned against you—if they pray toward this place, confess your name, and turn from their sin when you have afflicted them—

27 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 listen in heaven and forgive the sin of your servants and of your people Israel, when you direct them to the good way in which they should walk. Send rain on your land, which you have given to your people as an inheritance.

28 Kad bude glad u zemlji, kad bude pomor, suša ili medljika, skakavci ili gusjenice kad budu, ili ga stegne neprijatelj njegov u zemlji njegovoj vlastitoj, ili kako god zlo i kaka god bolest,

Suppose there is famine in the land, or suppose that there is disease, blight or mildew, locusts or caterpillars; or suppose that its enemies attack the city gates in their land, or that there is any plague or sickness—

29 Svaku molbu i svaku molitvu, koja bude od koga god èovjeka ili od svega naroda tvojega Izrailja, ko pozna muku svoju i bol svoj i podigne ruke svoje u ovom domu,

and suppose then that prayers and requests are made by a person or by all your people Israel—each knowing the plague and sorrow in his own heart as he spreads out his hands toward this temple.

30 Ti èuj s neba, iz stana svojega, i oprosti i podaj svakome po putovima njegovijem, što znaš u srcu njegovu, jer ti sam znaš srca sinova èovjeèijih;

Then listen from heaven, the place where you live; forgive, and reward every person for all his ways; you know his heart, because you and you only know the hearts of human beings.

31 Da te se boje hodeæi putovima tvojim dokle su god živi na zemlji, koju si dao ocima našim.

Do this so that they may fear you, so that they may walk in your ways all the days that they live on the land that you gave to our ancestors.

32 I inostranac koji nije od naroda tvojega Izrailja, nego doðe iz daleke zemlje imena radi tvojega velikoga i ruke tvoje krjepke i mišice tvoje podignute, kad doðe i pomoli se u ovom domu,

As for the foreigner who does not belong to your people Israel, but who—because of your great name, your mighty hand, and your outstretched arm—comes and prays toward this house,

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

then please listen from heaven, the place where you live, and do all that the foreigner asks of you, so that all the people of the earth may know your name and fear you, as do your own people Israel, and that they might know that this house I have built is called by your name.

34 Kad narod tvoj izide na vojsku na neprijatelje svoje putem kojim ga pošlješ, i pomole ti se okrenuvši se ka gradu ovomu, koji si izabrao, i k ovomu domu, koji sam sazidao imenu tvojemu,

Suppose that your people go out to battle against their enemies, by whatever way you may send them, and suppose that they pray to you toward this city that you have chosen, and toward the house that I have built for your name.

35 Èuj s neba molbu njihovu i molitvu njihovu, i dobavi im pravicu.

Then listen from the heavens to their prayer, their request, and help their cause.

36 Kad ti zgriješe, jer nema èovjeka koji ne griješi, i razgnjevivši se na njih daš ih neprijateljima, te ih zarobe i odvedu u zemlju daljnu ili koja je blizu,

Suppose they sin against you—since there is no one who does not sin—and suppose that you are angry with them and hand them over to the enemy, so that the enemy carries them away and takes them as captives to their land, whether distant or near.

37 Ako se dozovu u zemlji u koju budu odvedeni u ropstvo, i obrate se i stanu ti se moliti u zemlji ropstva svojega, i reku: sagriješismo i zlo uèinismo i skrivismo;

Then suppose they realize they are in the land where they have been exiled, and suppose that they repent and seek favor from you in the land of their captivity. Suppose that they say, 'We have acted perversely and sinned. We have behaved wickedly.'

38 I tako se obrate k tebi svijem srcem svojim i svom dušom svojom u zemlji ropstva svojega, u koju budu odvedeni u ropstvo, i pomole ti se okrenuvši se k zemlji svojoj, koju si dao ocima njihovijem, i ka gradu, koji si izabrao, i k domu, koji sam sazidao imenu tvojemu,

Suppose that they return to you with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, where they took them as captives, and suppose that they pray toward their land, which you gave to their ancestors, and toward the city that you chose, and toward the house that I have built for your name.

39 Tada èuj s neba, iz stana svojega, molbu njihovu i molitvu njihovu, i dobavi im pravicu, i oprosti narodu svojemu što ti budu zgriješili.

Then listen from the heavens, the place where you live, to their prayer and to their requests, and help their cause. Forgive your people, who have sinned against you.

40 Tako, Bože moj, neka budu oèi tvoje otvorene i uši tvoje prignute na molbu u ovom mjestu.

Now, my God, I beg you, let your eyes be open, and let your ears be attentive to the prayer that is made in this place.

41 I tako, stani, Gospode Bože, na poèivalištu svojem, ti i kovèeg sile tvoje; sveštenici tvoji, Gospode Bože, neka se obuku u spasenje, i sveci tvoji neka se raduju dobru.

Now then arise, Yahweh God, to your resting place, you and the ark of your strength. Let your priests, Yahweh God, be clothed with salvation, and let your saints rejoice in your goodness.

42 Gospode Bože, nemoj odvratiti lica svojega od pomazanika svojega; opominji se milosti obeæane Davidu sluzi tvojemu.

Yahweh God, do not turn the face of your anointed away from you. Keep in mind your acts of covenant loyalty for David, your servant.”
