2 Књига дневника 7

1 А кад сврши Соломун молитву, сиђе огањ с неба и спали жртву паљеницу и друге жртве, и славе Господње напуни се дом,

Now when Solomon's prayers were ended, fire came down from heaven, burning up all the offerings; and the house was full of the glory of the Lord.

2 Те не могаху свештеници ући у дом Господњи, јер се славе Господње напуни дом Господњи.

And the priests were not able to go into the house of the Lord, for the Lord's house was full of the glory of the Lord.

3 А сви синови Израиљеви видећи где сиђе огањ и слава Господња на дом савише се лицем к земљи до пода и поклонише се и хвалише Господа, јер је добар, јер је довека милост Његова.

And all the children of Israel were looking on when the fire came down, and the glory of the Lord was on the house; and they went down on their knees, with their faces to the earth, worshipping and praising the Lord, and saying, He is good; for his mercy is unchanging for ever.

4 И цар и сав народ принесоше жртве пред Господом.

Then the king and all the people made offerings before the Lord.

5 И принесе цар Соломун на жртву двадесет и две хиљаде волова и сто и двадесет хиљада оваца, и тако посветише дом Божји цар и сав народ.

King Solomon made an offering of twenty-two thousand oxen, and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the people kept the feast of the opening of the house of God.

6 А свештеници стајаху на служби својој, и Левити са справама за песме Господње што их беше начинио цар Давид да хвале Господа, јер је довека милост Његова, песмом Давидовом коју им даде; а други свештеници трубљаху у трубе према њима, а сви синови Израиљеви стајаху.

And the priests were in their places, and the Levites with their instruments of music for the Lord's song, which David the king had made for the praise of the Lord whose mercy is unchanging for ever, when David gave praise by their hand; and the priests were sounding horns before them; and all Israel were on their feet.

7 И посвети Соломун средину трема који је пред домом Господњим, јер онде принесе жртве паљенице и претилину од жртава захвалних, јер на бронзаном олтару који начини Соломун, не могоше стати жртве паљенице и дари и претилина њихова.

Then Solomon made holy the middle of the open square in front of the house of the Lord, offering the burned offerings there, and the fat of the peace-offerings; for there was not room on the brass altar which Solomon had made for all the burned offerings and the meal offerings and the fat.

8 У то време светкова Соломун светковину седам дана и сав Израиљ с њим, сабор веома велик од Емата до потока мисирског.

So Solomon kept the feast at that time for seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great meeting, for the people had come together from the way into Hamath and from as far as the river of Egypt.

9 И у осми дан празноваше празник, јер посвећивање олтара светковаше седам дана, и светковину седам дана.

And on the eighth day they had a holy meeting; the offerings for making the altar holy went on for seven days, and the feast for seven days.

10 А двадесет трећег дана седмог месеца отпусти народ к шаторима њиховим, и беху радосни и весели ради добра што учини Господ Давиду и Соломуну и Израиљу народу свом.

And on the twenty-third day of the seventh month, he sent the people away to their tents, full of joy and glad in their hearts, because of all the good which the Lord had done to David and to Solomon and to Israel his people.

11 И сврши Соломун дом Господњи и дом царски, и би срећан у свему што беше наумио да начини у дому Господњем и у дому свом.

So Solomon came to the end of building the house of the Lord and the king's house; and everything which it was in his mind to make in the house of the Lord and for himself had been well done.

12 Потом јави се Господ Соломуну ноћу и рече му: Услишио сам молбу твоју и изабрао сам то место да ми буде дом за жртве.

Now the Lord came to Solomon in a vision by night, and said to him, I have given ear to your prayer, and have taken this place for myself as a house where offerings are to be made.

13 Ако затворим небо да не буде дажда, или ако заповедим скакавцима да попасу земљу, или ако пустим помор на народ свој,

If, at my word, heaven is shut up, so that there is no rain, or if I send locusts on the land for its destruction, or if I send disease on my people;

14 И понизи се народ мој, на који је призвано име моје, и помоле се, и потраже лице моје, и поврате се од злих путева својих, и ја ћу тада услишити с неба и опростићу им грех њихов, и исцелићу земљу њихову.

If my people, on whom my name is named, make themselves low and come to me in prayer, searching for me and turning from their evil ways; then I will give ear from heaven, overlooking their sin, and will give life again to their land.

15 И очи ће моје бити отворене и уши моје пригнуте к молитви с тог места.

Now my eyes will be open and my ears awake to the prayers made in this place.

16 Јер сада изабрах и посветих дом тај да буде име моје ту довека; и биће ту очи моје и срце моје вазда.

For I have taken this house for myself and made it holy, so that my name may be there for ever; and my eyes and my heart will be there at all times.

17 А ти ако узидеш преда мном како је ишао Давид отац твој, творећи све што сам ти заповедио и држећи уредбе моје и законе моје,

And as for you, if you will go on your way before me as David your father did, doing whatever I have given you orders to do and keeping my laws and my decisions:

18 Утврдићу престо царства твог како сам обећао Давиду оцу твом говорећи: Неће ти нестати човека који би владао у Израиљу.

Then I will make strong the seat of your kingdom, as I gave my word to David your father, saying, You will never be without a man to be ruler in Israel.

19 Али ако се одвратите, и оставите уредбе моје и заповести моје, које сам вам дао, и отидете и станете служити другим боговима и клањати им се,

But if you are turned away from me, and do not keep my orders and my laws which I have put before you, but go and make yourselves servants to other gods, giving them worship:

20 Тада ћу их истребити из земље своје коју сам им дао, и овај дом који сам посветио имену свом одбацићу од себе, и учинићу од њега причу и подсмех међу свим народима.

Then I will have this people uprooted out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have made holy for my name, I will put away from before my eyes, and make it an example and a word of shame among all peoples.

21 И дом овај колико је славан, ко год прође мимо њ, зачудиће му се и рећи ће: Зашто учини ово Господ од ове земље и од овог дома?

And this house will become a mass of broken walls, and everyone who goes by will be overcome with wonder, and will say, Why has the Lord done so to this land and to this house?

22 И одговориће се: Јер одуставише Господа Бога отаца својих, који их изведе из земље мисирске, и узеше друге богове и клањаше им се и служише им, зато пусти на њих све ово зло.

And their answer will be, Because they were turned away from the Lord, the God of their fathers, who took them out of the land of Egypt, and took for themselves other gods and gave them worship and became their servants: that is why he has sent all this evil on them.
