2 Kroniška 7

1 Torej ko je Salomon molitvi naredil konec, je z neba prišel ogenj in použil žgalno daritev in klavne daritve in Gospodova slava je napolnila hišo.

And when Solomon had made an end of his prayer, Are came down from heaven, and consumed the holocausts and the victims: and the majesty of the Lord tilled the house.

2 Duhovniki niso mogli vstopiti v Gospodovo hišo, ker je Gospodova slava napolnila Gospodovo hišo.

Neither could the priests enter into the temple of the Lord, because the majesty of the Lord had filled the temple of the Lord.

3 Ko so vsi Izraelovi otroci videli, kako je ogenj prišel dol in Gospodova slava na hišo, so se s svojimi obrazi priklonili do tal na tlak in oboževali ter hvalili Gospoda, rekoč: »Ker je dober, kajti njegovo usmiljenje traja večno.«

Moreover all the children of Israel saw the fire coming down, and the glory of the Lord upon the house: and falling down with their faces to the ground, upon the stone pavement, they adored and praised the Lord: because he is good, because his mercy endureth for ever.

4 Potem so kralj in vse ljudstvo darovali klavne daritve pred Gospodom.

And the king and all the people sacrificed victims before the Lord.

5 Kralj Salomon je daroval klavno daritev dvaindvajsetih tisočev volov in sto dvanajst tisočev ovc. Tako sta kralj in vse ljudstvo posvetila Božjo hišo.

And king Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty-two thousand oxen, and one hundred and twenty thousand rams: and the king and all the people dedicated the house of God.

6 Duhovniki so čakali na svoje službe. Tudi Lévijevci z Gospodovimi glasbenimi instrumenti. Izdelal jih je kralj David, da hvali Gospoda, kajti njegovo usmiljenje traja večno. Ko je David hvalil ob njihovem služenju in so duhovniki pred njimi trobili s trobentami, je ves Izrael stal.

And the priests stood in their offices: and the Levites with the instruments of music of the Lord, which king David made to praise the Lord: because his mercy endureth for ever, singing the hymns of David by their ministry: and the priests sounded with trumpets before them, and all Israel stood.

7 Poleg tega je Salomon posvetil sredino dvora, ki je bil pred Gospodovo hišo, kajti tam je daroval žgalne daritve in tolščo mirovnih daritev, ker bronast oltar, ki ga je Salomon naredil, ni zmogel sprejeti žgalnih daritev, jedilnih daritev in tolšče.

Solomon also sanctified the middle of the court before the temple of the Lord: for he offered there the holocausts, and the fat of the peace offerings: because the brazen altar, which he had made, could not hold the holocausts and the sacrifices and the fat:

8 Prav tako je ob tem času Salomon praznik praznoval sedem dni in ves Izrael z njim, zelo velik shod, od vstopa v Hamát do egiptovske reke.

And Solomon kept the solemnity at that time seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great congregation, from the entrance of Emath to the torrent of Egypt.

9 Na osmi dan so naredili slovesen zbor, kajti sedem dni so praznovali posvetitev oltarja in sedem dni so praznovali.

And he made on the eighth day a solemn assembly, because he had kept the dedication of the altar seven days, and had celebrated the solemnity seven days.

10 Na triindvajseti dan sedmega meseca je ljudstvo poslal proč, v njihove šotore, vesele in razigrane v srcu, zaradi dobrote, ki jo je Gospod pokazal Davidu, Salomonu in njegovemu ljudstvu Izraelu.

So on the three and twentieth day of the seventh month he sent away the people to their dwellings, joyful and glad for the good that the Lord had done to David, and to Solomon, and to all Israel his people.

11 Tako je Salomon končal Gospodovo hišo in kraljevo hišo in vse, kar je prišlo v Salomonovo srce, da naredi v Gospodovi hiši in v svoji lastni hiši, je uspešno izvršil.

And Solomon finished the house of the Lord, and the king’s house, and all that he had designed in his heart to do, in the house of the Lord, and in his own house, and he prospered.

12 Gospod se je Salomonu prikazal ponoči in mu rekel: »Slišal sem tvojo molitev in ta kraj sem izbral zase, za hišo klavne daritve.

And the Lord appeared to him by night, and said: I have heard thy prayer, and I have chosen this place to myself for a house of sacrifice.

13 Če zaprem nebo, da ne bo dežja ali če zapovem kobilicam, da požrejo deželo ali če med svoje ljudstvo pošljem kužno bolezen,

If I shut up heaven, and there fall no rain, or if I give orders, and command the locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people:

14 če se bo moje ljudstvo, ki je imenovano po mojem imenu, ponižalo, molilo, iskalo moj obraz in se odvrnilo od svojih zlobnih poti, takrat bom prisluhnil iz nebes, odpustil njihov greh in ozdravil njihovo deželo.

And my people, upon whom my name is called, being converted, shall make supplication to me, and seek out my face, and do penance for their most wicked ways: then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins and will heal their land.

15 Sedaj bodo moje oči odprte in moja ušesa pozorna na molitev, ki je narejena na tem kraju.

My eyes also shall be open, and my ears attentive to the prayer of him that shall pray in this place.

16 Kajti sedaj sem izbral in posvetil to hišo, da bo moje ime lahko tam na veke. Moje oči in moje srce bodo neprestano tam.

For I have chosen, and have sanctified this place, that my name may be there for ever, and my eyes and my heart may remain there perpetually.

17 Kar se tiče tebe, če hočeš hoditi pred menoj, kakor je hodil tvoj oče David in storiti glede na vse, kar sem ti zapovedal in boš obeleževal moje zakone in moje sodbe,

And as for thee, if thou walk before me, as David thy father walked, and do according to all that I have commanded thee, and keep my justices and my judgments:

18 tedaj bom utrdil prestol tvojega kraljestva, glede na to, kakor sem se zavezal s tvojim očetom Davidom, rekoč: ›Ne bo ti manjkal mož, da bi bil vladar v Izraelu.‹

I will raise up the throne of thy kingdom, as I promised to David thy father, saying: There shall not fail thee a man of thy stock to be ruler in Israel.

19 Toda če se odvrnete in zapustite moje zakone in moje zapovedi, ki sem jih postavil pred vas in boste šli ter služili drugim bogovom in jih oboževali,

But if you turn away, and forsake my justices, and my commandments which I have set before you, and shall go and serve strange gods, and adore them,

20 potem jih bom s koreninami izpulil iz svoje dežele, ki sem jim jo dal in to hišo, ki sem jo posvetil za svoje ime, bom vrgel iz svojega pogleda in jo naredil, da bo pregovor in tarča posmeha med vsemi narodi.

I will pluck you up by the root out of my land which I have given you: and this house which I have sanctified to my name, I will cast away from before my face, and will make it a byword, and an example among all nations.

21 Ta hiša, ki je visoka, bo osuplost vsakemu, ki gre mimo nje, tako da bo rekel: ›Zakaj je Gospod tako storil tej deželi in tej hiši?‹

And this house shall be for a proverb to all that pass by, and they shall be astonished and say: Why hath the Lord done thus to this land, and to this house?

22 To bo odgovor: ›Ker so zapustili Gospoda, Boga svojih očetov, ki jih je privedel ven iz egiptovske dežele in se prijeli drugih bogov, jih oboževali in jim služili. Zato je nanje privedel vse to zlo.‹

And they shall answer: Because they forsook the Lord the God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on strange gods, and adored them, and worshipped them: therefore all these evils are come upon them.
