1 Kralji 8
1 Potem je Salomon zbral Izraelove starešine in vse poglavarje rodov, vodilne izmed očetov Izraelovih otrok, h kralju Salomonu v Jeruzalem, da bi lahko prinesli gor skrinjo Gospodove zaveze iz Davidovega mesta, ki je Sion.
Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel with all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers’ households of the children of Israel, to King Solomon in Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the LORD’s covenant out of David’s city, which is Zion.
2 Vsi možje iz Izraela so se na praznik zbrali h kralju Salomonu, v mesecu etanímu, ki je sedmi mesec.
All the men of Israel assembled themselves to King Solomon at the feast in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month.
3 Prišli so vsi Izraelovi starešine in duhovniki so dvignili skrinjo.
All the elders of Israel came, and the priests picked up the ark.
4 Gor so prinesli Gospodovo skrinjo, šotorsko svetišče skupnosti shoda in vse svete posode, ki so bile v šotorskem svetišču, celo te so duhovniki in Lévijevci prinesli gor.
They brought up the LORD’s ark, the Tent of Meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the Tent. The priests and the Levites brought these up.
5 Kralj Salomon in vsa Izraelova skupnost, ki je bila zbrana k njemu, so bili z njim pred skrinjo. Žrtvovali so ovce in vole, ki se jih zaradi množice ni dalo ne povedati ne prešteti.
King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, who were assembled to him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and cattle that could not be counted or numbered for multitude.
6 Duhovniki so skrinjo Gospodove zaveze prinesli na njeno mesto, v hišni orakelj, k najsvetejšemu kraju, celo pod peruti kerubov.
The priests brought in the ark of the LORD’s covenant to its place, into the inner sanctuary of the house, to the most holy place, even under the cherubim’s wings.
7 Kajti keruba sta svoji dve peruti razprostirala nad prostorom skrinje in keruba sta od zgoraj pokrivala skrinjo in njena drogova.
For the cherubim spread their wings out over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and its poles above.
8 Drogova so izvlekli, da sta se konca drogov videla iz svetega kraja pred orakljem, odzunaj pa nista bila vidna in tam sta do današnjega dne.
The poles were so long that the ends of the poles were seen from the holy place before the inner sanctuary, but they were not seen outside. They are there to this day.
9 V skrinji ni bilo ničesar razen dveh kamnitih plošč, ki ju je Mojzes položil tja pri Horebu, ko je Gospod sklenil zavezo z Izraelovi otroci, ko so prišli iz egiptovske dežele.
There was nothing in the ark except the two stone tablets which Moses put there at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.
10 Pripetilo se je, ko so duhovniki prišli ven iz svetega kraja, da je oblak napolnil Gospodovo hišo,
It came to pass, when the priests had come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the LORD’s house,
11 tako da duhovniki zaradi oblaka niso mogli stati, da bi služili, kajti Gospodova slava je napolnila Gospodovo hišo.
so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud; for the LORD’s glory filled the LORD’s house.
12 Potem je spregovoril Salomon: » Gospod je rekel, da bo prebival v gosti temi.
Then Solomon said, “The LORD has said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
13 Zagotovo sem ti zgradil hišo, da prebivaš v njej, ustaljen kraj zate, da v njem prebivaš na veke.«
I have surely built you a house of habitation, a place for you to dwell in forever.”
14 Kralj je obrnil svoj obraz naokrog in blagoslovil vso Izraelovo skupnost (in vsa Izraelova skupnost je stala)
The king turned his face around and blessed all the assembly of Israel; and all the assembly of Israel stood.
15 in rekel je: »Blagoslovljen bodi Gospod, Izraelov Bog, ki je s svojimi usti spregovoril mojemu očetu Davidu in je to izpolnil s svojo roko, rekoč:
He said, “Blessed is the LORD, the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David your father, and has with his hand fulfilled it, saying,
16 ›Od dneva, ko sem svoje ljudstvo Izraela privedel ven iz Egipta, nisem izbral nobenega mesta izmed vseh Izraelovih rodov, da bi zgradil hišo, da bi bilo v njej lahko moje ime, temveč sem izbral Davida, da bo nad mojim ljudstvom Izraelom.‹
‘Since the day that I brought my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house, that my name might be there; but I chose David to be over my people Israel.’
17 To je bilo na srcu mojega očeta Davida, da zgradi hišo za ime Gospoda, Izraelovega Boga.
“Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel.
18 Gospod je rekel mojemu očetu Davidu: ›Medtem ko je bilo to v tvojem srcu, da zgradiš hišo mojemu imenu, si storil dobro, da je bilo to v tvojem srcu.
But the LORD said to David my father, ‘Whereas it was in your heart to build a house for my name, you did well that it was in your heart.
19 Vendar pa hiše ne boš gradil ti, temveč tvoj sin, ki bo izšel iz tvojih ledij, on bo zgradil hišo mojemu imenu.‹
Nevertheless, you shall not build the house; but your son who shall come out of your body, he shall build the house for my name.’
20 Gospod je izpolnil svojo besedo, ki jo je govoril in dvignjen sem bil na položaj svojega očeta Davida in sedim na Izraelovem prestolu, kakor je obljubil Gospod in zgradil sem hišo za ime Gospoda, Izraelovega Boga.
The LORD has established his word that he spoke; for I have risen up in the place of David my father, and I sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built the house for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel.
21 Tam sem pripravil prostor za skrinjo, v kateri je Gospodova zaveza, ki jo je on sklenil z našimi očeti, ko jih je privedel ven iz egiptovske dežele.«
There I have set a place for the ark, in which is the LORD’s covenant, which he made with our fathers when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.”
22 Salomon je stal pred Gospodovim oltarjem v prisotnosti vse Izraelove skupnosti in svoji roki razširil proti nebu
Solomon stood before the LORD’s altar in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands toward heaven;
23 in rekel: » Gospod, Izraelov Bog, ni Boga, podobnega tebi, na nebu zgoraj ali na zemlji spodaj, ki ohranjaš zavezo in usmiljenje s svojimi služabniki, ki z vsem svojim srcem hodijo pred teboj,
and he said, “LORD, the God of Israel, there is no God like you, in heaven above, or on earth beneath; who keeps covenant and loving kindness with your servants who walk before you with all their heart;
24 ki si svojemu služabniku Davidu, mojemu očetu, ohranil to, kar si mu obljubil. Govoril si s svojimi usti in si to tudi izpolnil s svojo roko, kakor je to ta dan.
who has kept with your servant David my father that which you promised him. Yes, you spoke with your mouth, and have fulfilled it with your hand, as it is today.
25 Zato zdaj Gospod, Izraelov Bog, ohrani s svojim služabnikom Davidom, mojim očetom, to, kar si mu obljubil, rekoč: ›Ne bo ti zmanjkalo moža v mojem pogledu, da bi sedel na Izraelovem prestolu; samo da tvoji otroci pazijo na svojo pot, da hodijo pred menoj, kakor si ti hodil pred menoj.‹
Now therefore, may LORD, the God of Israel, keep with your servant David my father that which you have promised him, saying, ‘There shall not fail from you a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if only your children take heed to their way, to walk before me as you have walked before me.’
26 Sedaj, oh Izraelov Bog, naj bo tvoja beseda, prosim te, resnična, ki si jo govoril svojemu služabniku, mojemu očetu Davidu.
“Now therefore, God of Israel, please let your word be verified, which you spoke to your servant David my father.
27 Toda ali bo Bog zares prebival na zemlji? Glej, nebo in nebesa nebes te ne morejo obseči, kako veliko manj ta hiša, ki sem jo zgradil?
But will God in very deed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens can’t contain you; how much less this house that I have built!
28 Vendar se ozri na molitev svojega služabnika in k njegovi ponižni prošnji, oh Gospod, moj Bog, da prisluhneš klicu in molitvi, ki jo ta dan tvoj služabnik moli pred teboj,
Yet have respect for the prayer of your servant and for his supplication, LORD my God, to listen to the cry and to the prayer which your servant prays before you today;
29 da bodo tvoje oči lahko ponoči in podnevi odprte proti tej hiši, torej proti kraju, o katerem si rekel: ›Moje ime bo tam, ‹ da boš lahko prisluhnil molitvi, ki jo bo tvoj služabnik naredil k temu kraju.
that your eyes may be open toward this house night and day, even toward the place of which you have said, ‘My name shall be there;’ to listen to the prayer which your servant prays toward this place.
30 Prisluhni ponižni prošnji svojega služabnika in svojega ljudstva Izraela, ko bodo molili k temu kraju. Pozorno poslušaj v nebesih, svojem prebivališču. In ko si pozorno slišal, odpusti.
Listen to the supplication of your servant, and of your people Israel, when they pray toward this place. Yes, hear in heaven, your dwelling place; and when you hear, forgive.
31 Če se katerikoli človek prekrši zoper svojega bližnjega in je nanj položena prisega, da mu povzroči, da priseže in prisega pride pred tvoj oltar v tej hiši,
“If a man sins against his neighbor, and an oath is laid on him to cause him to swear, and he comes and swears before your altar in this house,
32 potem pozorno poslušaj v nebesih, ukrepaj in sodi svoja služabnika, obsodi zlobnega, da privedeš njegovo pot na njegovo glavo in opraviči pravičnega, da mu daš glede na njegovo pravičnost.
then hear in heaven, and act, and judge your servants, condemning the wicked, to bring his way on his own head, and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.
33 Ko bo tvoje ljudstvo Izrael udarjeno pred sovražnikom, ker so grešili zoper tebe in se bo ponovno obrnilo k tebi, priznalo tvoje ime, molilo in naredilo ponižno prošnjo k tebi v tej hiši,
“When your people Israel are struck down before the enemy because they have sinned against you, if they turn again to you and confess your name, and pray and make supplication to you in this house,
34 potem pozorno poslušaj v nebesih in odpusti greh svojega ljudstva Izraela in jih ponovno privedi v deželo, ki jo daješ njihovim očetom.
then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of your people Israel, and bring them again to the land which you gave to their fathers.
35 Ko je nebo zaprto in ni dežja, ker so grešili zoper tebe; če molijo k temu kraju in priznajo tvoje ime in se obrnejo od svojega greha, ko si jih ti prizadel,
“When the sky is shut up and there is no rain because they have sinned against you, if they pray toward this place and confess your name, and turn from their sin when you afflict them,
36 potem pozorno poslušaj v nebesih in odpusti greh svojih služabnikov in svojega ljudstva Izraela, da jih naučiš dobro pot, po kateri naj bi hodili in jim daš dež na svojo deželo, ki si jo dal svojemu ljudstvu v dediščino.
then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of your servants, and of your people Israel, when you teach them the good way in which they should walk; and send rain on your land which you have given to your people for an inheritance.
37 Če bo v deželi lakota, če bo kužna bolezen, kvarjenje, plesen, leteča kobilica ali če bo tam gosenica; če jih njihov sovražnik oblega v deželi njihovih mest, kakršnakoli nadloga, kakršnakoli bolezen bo,
“If there is famine in the land, if there is pestilence, if there is blight, mildew, locust or caterpillar; if their enemy besieges them in the land of their cities, whatever plague, whatever sickness there is,
38 kakršnokoli molitev in ponižno prošnjo bo naredil katerikoli človek ali vse tvoje ljudstvo Izrael, ki bo spoznal, vsak mož nadlogo svojega lastnega srca in bo svoje roke razširil proti tej hiši,
whatever prayer and supplication is made by any man, or by all your people Israel, who shall each know the plague of his own heart, and spread out his hands toward this house,
39 potem pozorno poslušaj v nebesih, svojem prebivališču, odpusti, ukrepaj in daj vsakemu možu glede na njegove poti, čigar srce poznaš (kajti ti, celó le ti, poznaš srca vseh človeških otrok),
then hear in heaven, your dwelling place, and forgive, and act, and give to every man according to all his ways, whose heart you know (for you, even you only, know the hearts of all the children of men);
40 da se te bodo lahko bali vse dni, ki jih živijo v deželi, ki si jo dal našim očetom.
that they may fear you all the days that they live in the land which you gave to our fathers.
41 Poleg tega glede tujca, ki ni iz tvojega ljudstva Izraela, temveč zaradi tvojega imena prihaja iz daljne dežele
“Moreover, concerning the foreigner, who is not of your people Israel, when he comes out of a far country for your name’s sake
42 (kajti slišali bodo o tvojem velikem imenu, o tvoji močni roki in o tvojem iztegnjenem laktu), ko bo prišel in molil k tej hiši,
(for they shall hear of your great name and of your mighty hand and of your outstretched arm), when he comes and prays toward this house,
43 pozorno poslušaj v nebesih, svojem bivališču in ukrepaj glede na vse, za kar bo tujec klical k tebi, da bo vse ljudstvo zemlje lahko spoznalo tvoje ime, da se te boji, kakor to dela tvoje ljudstvo Izrael in da bodo lahko vedeli, da je ta hiša, ki sem jo zgradil, imenovana po tvojem imenu.
hear in heaven, your dwelling place, and do according to all that the foreigner calls to you for; that all the peoples of the earth may know your name, to fear you, as do your people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by your name.
44 Če gre tvoje ljudstvo ven na bitko zoper svojega sovražnika, kamorkoli jih boš poslal in bodo molili h Gospodu, k mestu, ki si ga ti izbral in k hiši, ki sem jo zgradil za tvoje ime,
“If your people go out to battle against their enemy, by whatever way you shall send them, and they pray to the LORD toward the city which you have chosen, and toward the house which I have built for your name,
45 potem pozorno poslušaj v nebesih njihovo molitev, njihovo ponižno prošnjo in obravnavaj njihov primer.
then hear in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.
46 Če grešijo zoper tebe (kajti tam ni človeka, ki ne greši) in si jezen nanje in jih izročiš sovražniku, tako da jih odvedejo ujetnike v deželo sovražnika, daleč ali blizu,
If they sin against you (for there is no man who doesn’t sin), and you are angry with them and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captive to the land of the enemy, far off or near;
47 vendar če si bodo premislili v deželi, kamor so bili odvedeni ujeti in se pokesajo in naredijo ponižno prošnjo k tebi, v deželi tistih, ki so jih odvedli ujete, rekoč: ›Grešili smo in storili pokvarjeno, zagrešili smo zlobnost‹
yet if they repent in the land where they are carried captive, and turn again, and make supplication to you in the land of those who carried them captive, saying, ‘We have sinned and have done perversely; we have dealt wickedly,’
48 in se tako vrnejo k tebi z vsem svojim srcem in z vso svojo dušo v deželi svojih sovražnikov, ki so jih odvedli ujete in molijo k tebi, k svoji deželi, ki si jo dal njihovim očetom, mestu, ki si ga ti izbral in hiši, ki sem jo zgradil za tvoje ime,
if they return to you with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their enemies who carried them captive, and pray to you toward their land which you gave to their fathers, the city which you have chosen and the house which I have built for your name,
49 potem pozorno poslušaj njihovo molitev in njihovo ponižno prošnjo v nebesih, svojem prebivališču in obravnavaj njihov primer
then hear their prayer and their supplication in heaven, your dwelling place, and maintain their cause;
50 in odpusti svojemu ljudstvu, ker so grešili zoper tebe in vse njihove prestopke, s katerimi so se prekršili zoper tebe in jim daj sočutje pred tistimi, ki so jih odvedli ujete, da bodo lahko imeli sočutje do njih,
and forgive your people who have sinned against you, and all their transgressions in which they have transgressed against you; and give them compassion before those who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them
51 kajti oni so tvoje ljudstvo in tvoja dediščina, ki si jo privedel iz Egipta, iz srede železne talilne peči,
(for they are your people and your inheritance, which you brought out of Egypt, from the middle of the iron furnace);
52 da bodo tvoje oči lahko odprte k ponižni prošnji tvojega služabnika in k ponižni prošnji tvojega ljudstva Izraela, da jim prisluhneš v vsem, v čemer kličejo k tebi.
that your eyes may be open to the supplication of your servant and to the supplication of your people Israel, to listen to them whenever they cry to you.
53 Kajti oddvojil si jih izmed vsega zemeljskega ljudstva, da bi bili tvoja dediščina, kakor si govoril po roki svojega služabnika Mojzesa, ko si naše očete privedel iz Egipta, oh Gospod Bog.«
For you separated them from among all the peoples of the earth to be your inheritance, as you spoke by Moses your servant, when you brought our fathers out of Egypt, Lord GOD.”
54 Bilo je tako, ko je Salomon nehal moliti vso to molitev in ponižno prošnjo h Gospodu, da je vstal izpred Gospodovega oltarja od klečanja na svojih kolenih, s svojima rokama, razširjenima k nebu.
It was so, that when Solomon had finished praying all this prayer and supplication to the LORD, he arose from before the LORD’s altar, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread out toward heaven.
55 Vstal je in z močnim glasom blagoslovil vso Izraelovo skupnost, rekoč:
He stood and blessed all the assembly of Israel with a loud voice, saying,
56 »Blagoslovljen bodi Gospod, ki je svojemu ljudstvu Izraelu dal počitek, glede na vse, kar je obljubil. Niti ena beseda ni manjkala od vse njegove dobre obljube, ki jo je obljubil po roki svojega služabnika Mojzesa.
“Blessed be the LORD, who has given rest to his people Israel, according to all that he promised. There has not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by Moses his servant.
57 Gospod, naš Bog, naj bo z nami, kakor je bil z našimi očeti. Naj nas ne pusti niti naj nas ne zapusti,
May the LORD our God be with us as he was with our fathers. Let him not leave us or forsake us,
58 da bo lahko naša srca nagnil k sebi, da hodimo po vseh njegovih poteh in da ohranjamo vse njegove zapovedi, njegove zakone in njegove sodbe, ki jih je zapovedal našim očetom.
that he may incline our hearts to him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, his statutes, and his ordinances, which he commanded our fathers.
59 Naj bodo te moje besede, s katerimi sem naredil ponižno prošnjo pred Gospodom, blizu Gospodu, našemu Bogu, podnevi in ponoči, da ohrani zadevo svojega služabnika in zadevo svojega ljudstva Izraela ob vseh časih, kakor bo stvar zahtevala,
Let these my words, with which I have made supplication before the LORD, be near to the LORD our God day and night, that he may maintain the cause of his servant and the cause of his people Israel, as every day requires;
60 da bo vse ljudstvo zemlje lahko vedelo, da Gospod je Bog in da tam ni nobenega drugega.
that all the peoples of the earth may know that the LORD himself is God. There is no one else.
61 Naj bo vaše srce torej popolno z Gospodom, našim Bogom, da se ravna po njegovih zakonih in da ohranja njegove zapovedi, kakor je ta dan.«
“Let your heart therefore be perfect with the LORD our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as it is today.”
62 Kralj in ves Izrael z njim je daroval klavno daritev pred Gospodom.
The king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifice before the LORD.
63 Salomon je daroval žrtvovanje mirovnih daritev, ki jih je daroval Gospodu, dvaindvajset tisoč volov in sto dvajset tisoč ovc. Tako so kralj in vsi Izraelovi otroci posvetili Gospodovo hišo.
Solomon offered for the sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered to the LORD, twenty two thousand head of cattle and one hundred twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the LORD’s house.
64 Istega dne je kralj posvetil sredino dvora, ki je bila pred Gospodovo hišo, kajti tam je daroval žgalne daritve, jedilne daritve in tolščo mirovnih daritev, ker je bil bronast oltar, ki je bil pred Gospodom, premajhen, da sprejme žgalne daritve, jedilne daritve in tolščo mirovnih daritev.
The same day the king made the middle of the court holy that was before the LORD’s house; for there he offered the burnt offering, the meal offering, and the fat of the peace offerings, because the bronze altar that was before the LORD was too little to receive the burnt offering, the meal offering, and the fat of the peace offerings.
65 Ob tistem času je Salomon priredil praznovanje in ves Izrael z njim, velika skupnost, od vhoda v Hamát do egiptovske reke, pred Gospodom, svojim Bogom, sedem dni in sedem dni, torej štirinajst dni.
So Solomon held the feast at that time, and all Israel with him, a great assembly, from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of Egypt, before the LORD our God, seven days and seven more days, even fourteen days.
66 Na osmi dan je ljudstvo odposlal proč in blagoslovili so kralja in radostni in veselega srca zaradi vse dobrote, ki jo je Gospod storil za svojega služabnika Davida in za svoje ljudstvo Izrael, odšli k svojim šotorom.
On the eighth day he sent the people away; and they blessed the king, and went to their tents joyful and glad in their hearts for all the goodness that the LORD had shown to David his servant, and to Israel his people.
