2 Kroniška 6
1 Potem je Salomon rekel: » Gospod je rekel, da bo prebival v gosti temi.
Then Solomon said, "The LORD has said that he would dwell in the thick cloud.
2 Toda jaz sem zate zgradil hišo prebivališča in prostor za tvoje prebivanje na veke.«
But I have built you a house of habitation, and a place for you to dwell in forever."
3 Kralj je obrnil svoj obraz in blagoslovil celotno Izraelovo skupnost in celotna Izraelova skupnost je stala.
The king turned his face, and blessed all the assembly of Israel: and all the assembly of Israel stood.
4 Rekel je: »Blagoslovljen bodi Gospod, Izraelov Bog, ki je s svojimi rokami izpolnil to, kar je s svojimi usti govoril mojemu očetu Davidu, rekoč:
He said, "Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David my father, and has with his hands fulfilled it, saying,
5 ›Od dneva, ko sem svoje ljudstvo privedel iz egiptovske dežele, nisem izbral nobenega mesta med vsemi Izraelovimi rodovi, da bi v njem zgradil hišo, da bi bilo tam lahko moje ime niti nisem izbral nobenega človeka, da bi bil vladar nad mojim ljudstvom Izraelom,
'Since the day that I brought forth my people out of the land of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house in, that my name might be there; nor did I choose any man to be a leader over my people Israel:
6 toda izbral sem Jeruzalem, da bo tam lahko moje ime in izbral sem Davida, da bo nad mojim ljudstvom Izraelom.‹
but I chose Jerusalem, that my name may be there; and I chose David to be over my people Israel.'
7 Torej, 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.
8 Toda Gospod je mojemu očetu Davidu rekel: ›Ker je bilo to na tvojem srcu, da zgradiš hišo za moje ime, si storil dobro v tem, da je bilo to na 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:
9 vendar hiše ne boš gradil ti, temveč tvoj sin, ki bo izšel iz tvojih ledij, on bo zgradil hišo za moje ime.‹
nevertheless you shall not build the house; but your son who shall come forth out of your body, he shall build the house for my name.'
10 Gospod je torej izpolnil svojo besedo, ki jo je govoril, kajti vzdignjen sem na mesto svojega očeta Davida in postavljen sem na Izraelov prestol, kakor je obljubil Gospod in zgradil sem hišo za ime Gospoda, Izraelovega Boga.
"The LORD has performed his word that he spoke; for I have risen up in the place of David my father, and 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.
11 Vanjo sem položil skrinjo, v kateri je Gospodova zaveza, ki jo je sklenil z Izraelovimi otroki.«
There I have set the ark, in which is the covenant of the LORD, which he made with the children of Israel."
12 Stal je pred Gospodovim oltarjem v prisotnosti vse Izraelove skupnosti in razprostrl svoji roki,
He stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread forth his hands
13 kajti Salomon je naredil bronast oder, pet komolcev dolg, pet komolcev širok in tri komolce visok ter ga postavil v sredo dvora. Na njem je stal in pokleknil na svoja kolena pred vso Izraelovo skupnostjo in svoji roki razprostrl proti nebu
(for Solomon had made a bronze scaffold, eight feet and seven inches long, and eight feet and seven inches broad, and five feet and two inches high, and had set it in the midst of the court; and on it he stood, and kneeled down on his knees before all the assembly of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven; )
14 in rekel: »Oh Gospod, Izraelov Bog, tebi ni podobnega Boga ne v nebesih, ne na zemlji, ki se držiš zaveze in izkazuješ usmiljenje svojim služabnikom, ki z vsemi svojimi srci hodijo pred teboj.
and he said, "LORD, God of Israel, there is no God like you, in heaven, or on earth; you who keep covenant and loving kindness with your servants, who walk before you with all their heart;
15 Ti, ki si ohranil svojemu služabniku Davidu, mojemu očetu, to, kar si mu obljubil in govoriš s svojimi usti in si to izpolnil s svojo roko, kakor je to danes.
who have 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 this day.
16 Zdaj torej, oh Gospod, Izraelov Bog, ohrani svojemu služabniku Davidu, mojemu očetu, to, kar si mu obljubil, rekoč: ›Ne bo ti zmanjkalo moža v mojem pogledu, da sedi na Izraelovem prestolu, vendar tako, da bodo tvoji otroci pazili na svojo pot, da hodijo po moji postavi, kakor si ti hodil pred menoj.
"Now therefore, LORD, the God of Israel, keep with your servant David my father that which you have promised him, saying, 'There shall not fail you a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if only your children take heed to their way, to walk in my law as you have walked before me.'
17 Sedaj torej, oh Gospod, Izraelov Bog, naj bo tvoja beseda, ki si jo govoril svojemu služabniku Davidu, podprta.
Now therefore, LORD, the God of Israel, let your word be verified, which you spoke to your servant David.
18 Toda mar bo Bog zagotovo prebival z ljudmi na zemlji? Glej, nebo in nebesa nebes te ne morejo vsebovati, kako veliko manj ta hiša, ki sem jo zgradil!
"But will God indeed dwell with humankind on the earth? Look, heaven and the highest heaven can't contain you; how much less this house which I have built.
19 Ozri se na molitev svojega služabnika in k njegovi ponižni prošnji, oh Gospod, moj Bog, da prisluhneš joku in molitvi, ki jo tvoj služabnik moli pred teboj,
Yet have respect for the prayer of your servant, and to his petition, LORD my God, to listen to the cry and to the prayer which your servant prays before you;
20 da bodo tvoje oči lahko odprte nad to hišo podnevi in ponoči, na kraju, o katerem si rekel, da boš tam položil svoje ime, da prisluhneš molitvi, ki jo tvoj služabnik moli proti temu kraju.
that your eyes may be open toward this house day and night, even toward the place where you have said that you would put your name; to listen to the prayer which your servant shall pray toward this place.
21 Prisluhni torej ponižnim prošnjam svojega služabnika in svojega ljudstva Izraela, ki jih bodo naredili proti temu kraju. Poslušaj iz svojega prebivališča, celó iz nebes in ko slišiš, odpusti.
Listen to the petitions of your servant, and of your people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place: yes, hear from your dwelling place, even from heaven; and when you hear, forgive.
22 Če človek greši zoper svojega bližnjega in je prisega položena nanj, ki ga primora priseči in prisega pride pred tvoj oltar v tej hiši,
"If a man sins against his neighbor and obliges him to take an oath, and he comes to take an oath before your altar in this house;
23 potem poslušaj iz nebes, stori in sodi [med] svojima služabnikoma s povračilom zlobnemu, tako da položiš njegovo pot na njegovo lastno glavo in opravičiš pravičnega, tako da mu daš glede na njegovo pravičnost.
then hear from heaven, and do, and judge your servants, bringing retribution to the wicked, to bring his way on his own head; and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.
24 Če bo tvoje ljudstvo Izrael poraženo pred sovražnikom, ker so grešili zoper tebe in se bo vrnilo ter priznalo tvoje ime in molilo in naredilo ponižno prošnjo pred teboj v tej hiši,
"If your people Israel be struck down before the enemy, because they have sinned against you, and shall turn again and confess your name, and pray and make petition before you in this house;
25 tedaj prisluhni iz nebes in odpusti greh svojega ljudstva Izraela ter jih ponovno privedi v deželo, ki si jo dal njim in njihovim očetom.
then hear from heaven, and forgive the sin of your people Israel, and bring them again to the land which you gave to them and to their fathers.
26 Ko je nebo zaprto in ni dežja, ker so grešili zoper tebe; vendar če molijo proti temu kraju in priznajo tvoje ime in se odvrnejo od svojega greha, ko si jih 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 punish them:
27 potem poslušaj iz nebes in odpusti greh svojih služabnikov in svojega ljudstva Izraela, ko si jih učil dobre poti, po kateri naj bi hodili in pošlji dež na svojo deželo, ki si jo dal svojemu ljudstvu za 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.
28 Če bo v deželi pomanjkanje, kužna bolezen, če bo kvarjenje ali plesen, leteče kobilice ali gosenice, če jih njihovi sovražniki oblegajo v mestih njihove dežele, kakršenkoli udarec ali kakršnakoli bolezen bo tam,
"If there is famine in the land, if there is pestilence, if there is blight or mildew, locust or caterpillar; if their enemies besiege them in the land of their gates; whatever plague or whatever sickness there is;
29 potem kakršnakoli molitev ali kakršnakoli ponižna prošnja bo narejena od kateregakoli človeka ali od vsega tvojega ljudstva Izraela, ko bo vsak spoznal svoj lastni udarec in svojo lastno bolečino in bo razprostrl svoji roki v tej hiši,
whatever prayer and petition be made by any man, or by all your people Israel, who shall know every man his own plague and his own sorrow, and shall spread forth his hands toward this house:
30 tedaj prisluhni iz nebes, svojega prebivališča, odpusti in povrni vsakemu človeku glede na njegove lastne poti, katerega srce ti poznaš (kajti samo ti poznaš srca človeških otrok),
then hear from heaven, your dwelling place and forgive, and render to every man according to all his ways, whose heart you know; (for you, even you only, know the hearts of the children of humankind; )
31 da se te bodo lahko bali, da hodijo po tvojih poteh tako dolgo, dokler živijo v deželi, ki si jo dal našim očetom.
that they may fear you, to walk in your ways, so long as they live in the land which you gave to our fathers.
32 Poleg tega glede tujca, ki ni iz tvojega ljudstva Izraela, temveč je prišel iz daljne dežele zaradi tvojega velikega imena, tvoje mogočne roke in tvojega iztegnjenega lakta; če pridejo in molijo v tej hiši,
"Moreover concerning the foreigner, who is not of your people Israel, when he shall come from a far country for the sake of your name, for they shall hear of your great name, and your mighty hand, and your outstretched arm, when they shall come and pray toward this house,
33 tedaj prisluhni iz nebes, celó iz svojega prebivališča in stôri glede na vse, za kar tujec kliče k tebi, da bo vse ljudstvo zemlje poznalo tvoje ime in se te balo kakor tvoje ljudstvo Izrael in bo lahko vedelo, da je ta hiša, ki sem jo zgradil, imenovana po tvojem imenu.
then hear from heaven, even from 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, and fear you, as does your people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by your name.
34 Če gre tvoje ljudstvo na vojno zoper svoje sovražnike po poti, po kateri jih boš poslal in molijo k tebi obrnjeni k temu mestu, ki si ga izbral in k hiši, ki sem jo zgradil za tvoje ime,
"If your people go out to battle against their enemies, by whatever way you shall send them, and they pray to you toward this city which you have chosen, and the house which I have built for your name;
35 tedaj prisluhni iz nebes njihovi molitvi in njihovim ponižnim prošnjam ter obravnavaj njihov primer.
then hear from heaven their prayer and their petition, and maintain their cause.
36 Če grešijo zoper tebe (kajti nobenega človeka ni, ki ne greši) in si jezen nad njimi in jih izročiš pred njihove sovražnike in jih oni ujete odvedejo v deželo daleč proč 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 a land far off or near;
37 vendar če si premislijo v deželi, kamor so odvedeni ujetniki in se obrnejo in molijo k tebi v deželi svojega ujetništva, rekoč: ›Grešili smo, napačno smo storili in počeli zlobno; ‹
yet if they shall repent themselves in the land where they are carried captive, and repent and make petition to you in the land of their captivity, saying, 'We have sinned, we have done perversely, and have dealt wickedly;'
38 če se vrnejo k tebi z vsem svojim srcem in z vso svojo dušo, v deželi svojega ujetništva, kamor so jih odvedli ujete in molijo k njihovi deželi, ki si jo dal njihovim očetom in k mestu, ki si ga izbral in k 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 captivity, where they have carried them captive, and pray toward their land, which you gave to their fathers, and the city which you have chosen, and toward the house which I have built for your name:
39 tedaj prisluhni iz nebes, celó iz svojega prebivališča, njihovi molitvi in njihovim ponižnim prošnjam in obravnavaj njihov primer in odpusti svojemu ljudstvu, ki je grešilo zoper tebe.
then hear from heaven, even from your dwelling place, their prayer and their petitions, and maintain their cause, and forgive your people who have sinned against you.
40 Sedaj, moj Bog, naj bodo, rotim te, tvoje oči odprte in naj bodo tvoja ušesa pozorna na molitev, ki je narejena na tem kraju.
"Now, my God, let, I beg you, your eyes be open, and let your ears be attentive, to the prayer that is made in this place.
41 Sedaj torej vzdigni se, oh Gospod Bog, v svoje počivališče, ti in skrinja tvoje moči. Naj bodo tvoji duhovniki, oh Gospod Bog, oblečeni z rešitvijo duš in naj se tvoji sveti veselijo v dobroti.
"Now therefore arise, LORD God, into your resting place, you, and the ark of your strength: let your priests, LORD God, be clothed with salvation, and let your faithful ones rejoice in what is good.
42 Oh Gospod Bog, svojega obraza ne obrni od svojega maziljenca. Spomni se usmiljenj svojega služabnika Davida.‹«
"LORD God, do not turn away the face of your anointed one. Remember your loving kindnesses to David your servant."
