1 Kraljevima 9

1 Kad je Salomon dovršio gradnju Doma Jahvina, kraljevskog dvora i svega što je namislio graditi,

Now it happened that, when Solomon had perfected the building of the house of the Lord, and the king’s house, and all that he had desired and had willed to do,

2 javi se Jahve i drugi put Salomonu, kao što mu se bio javio u Gibeonu.

the Lord appeared to him a second time, just as he had appeared to him at Gibeon.

3 Jahve mu reče: “Uslišio sam molitvu i prošnju koju si mi uputio. Posvetio sam ovaj Dom, koji si sagradio da u njemu prebiva Ime moje dovijeka; moje će oči i srce biti ovdje svagda.

And the Lord said to him: “I have heard your prayer and your petition, which you prayed before me. I have sanctified this house, which you have built, so that I may place my name there forever, and so that my eyes and my heart will be there for all days.

4 A ti, ako budeš hodio preda mnom kako je hodio tvoj otac David, u nevinosti srca i pravednosti, postupao u svemu kako sam ti zapovjedio i ako budeš držao moje zakone i moje naredbe,

Also, if you will walk before me, just as your father walked, in simplicity of heart and in equity, and you do all that I have instructed to you, and you keep my laws and my judgments,

5 ja ću učvrstiti zauvijek tvoje kraljevsko prijestolje nad Izraelom, kako sam obećao tvome ocu Davidu kad sam rekao: 'Nikada ti neće nestati nasljednika na prijestolju Izraelovu.'

then I will set the throne of your kingdom over Israel forever, just as I promised your father David, saying: ‘A man from your stock shall not be taken away from the throne of Israel.’

6 Ali ako me ostavite, vi i vaši sinovi, ako ne budete držali mojih zapovijedi i zakona koje sam vam dao, ako se okrenete bogovima i budete im služili i klanjali im se,

But if you and your sons, wandering, will have turned away, not following me, and not keeping my commandments and my ceremonies, which I have proposed to you, but instead you go away, and you serve strange gods and adore them,

7 tada ću istrijebiti Izraela iz zemlje koju sam mu dao; ovaj ću Dom, koji sam posvetio svome Imenu, odbaciti od sebe, i Izrael će biti poruga i podsmijeh svim narodima.

then I will take away Israel from the face of the land, which I have given to them. And the temple, which I have sanctified to my name, I will cast out from my sight. And Israel will be a proverb and a parable among all the peoples.

8 Ovaj je Dom uzvišen, ali svi koji budu uza nj prolazili bit će zaprepašteni; zviždat će i govoriti: 'Zašto je Jahve tako učinio s ovom zemljom i s ovim Domom?'

And this house will become an example: anyone who passes by it will be stupefied, and he will hiss and say, ‘Why has the Lord acted in this way to this land and to this house?’

9 A reći će im se: 'Jer su ostavili Jahvu, Boga svoga, koji je izveo oce njihove iz Egipta, a priklonili se drugim bogovima, častili ih i služili im, zato je Jahve pustio na njih sva ova zla.'”

And they will respond: ‘Because they abandoned the Lord their God, who led their fathers away from the land of Egypt, and they followed strange gods, and they adored them and served them. For this reason, the Lord led all this evil over them.’”

10 Poslije dvadeset godina, za kojih je Salomon sagradio obje zgrade, Dom Jahvin i kraljevski dvor,

Then, when twenty years were fulfilled, after Solomon had built the two houses, that is, the house of the Lord, and the house of the king,

11 a Hiram, kralj Tira, dobavljao mu drvo cedrovo i čempresovo i zlata koliko je god želio, dade tada kralj Salomon Hiramu dvadeset gradova u zemlji galilejskoj.

Hiram, the king of Tyre, having supplied Solomon with cedar wood, and spruce wood, and gold, in accord with all that he needed, then Solomon gave Hiram twenty towns in the land of Galilee.

12 Hiram izađe iz Tira da vidi gradove koje mu je Salomon darovao, ali mu se nisu svidjeli.

And Hiram went out of Tyre, so that he might view the towns that Solomon had given to him. And they did not please him.

13 I reče: “Kakvi su to gradovi što si mi ih dao, brate?” I od tada ih zovu “zemlja Kabul” do današnjega dana.

And he said, “Are these the cities that you have given to me, brother?” And he called them the land of Cabul, even to this day.

14 A Hiram bijaše poslao kralju stotinu i dvadeset zlatnih talenata.

And Hiram sent to king Solomon one hundred twenty talents of gold.

15 Ovako je bilo s rabotom koju je kralj Salomon digao da sagradi Dom Jahvin, svoj dvor, Milo i zidove Jeruzalema, Hasor, Megido i Gezer.

This is the sum of the expenses that king Solomon offered for the building of the house of the Lord, and his own house, and for Millo, and the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, and Megiddo, and Gezer.

16 Faraon, kralj Egipta, krenu u vojni pohod, osvoji Gezer, popali i poubija Kanaance koji su ondje živjeli, zatim dade grad u miraz svojoj kćeri, ženi Salomonovoj,

Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, ascended and seized Gezer, and he burned it with fire. And he put to death the Canaanite who was living in the city, and he gave it as a dowry for his daughter, the wife of Solomon.

17 a Salomon obnovi Gezer, Bet Horon Donji,

Therefore, Solomon built up Gezer, and lower Beth-horon,

18 Baalat, Tamar u pustinji u zemlji,

and Baalath, and Palmira in the land of the wilderness.

19 sve gradove-skladišta koje je Salomon imao, gradove za bojna kola i gradove za konjicu, i sve što je Salomon želio sagraditi u Jeruzalemu, na Libanonu i u svim zemljama koje su mu bile podložne.

And all the towns which belonged to him, and which were without walls, he walled, along with the cities of the chariots, and the cities of the horsemen, and whatever was pleasing to him that he might build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in the entire land of his dominion.

20 Svim preostalim Amorejcima, Hetitima, Perižanima, Hivijcima i Jebusejcima, koji nisu bili Izraelci,

All the people who had remained of the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of the sons of Israel,

21 sinovima njihovim koji ostadoše iza njih u zemlji i koje Izraelci nisu zatrli, Salomon nametnu tešku tlaku do današnjega dana.

their sons, who had remained in the land, namely, those whom the sons of Israel had not been able to destroy, Solomon made tributary, even to this day.

22 Sinove Izraelove nije Salomon pretvarao u robove, nego su mu oni bili vojnici, dvorani, vojskovođe, tridesetnici, zapovjednici njegovih bojnih kola i konjice.

But from the sons of Israel, Solomon did not appoint anyone at all to serve, except the men of war, and his ministers, and leaders, and commanders, and the overseers of the chariots and the horses.

23 A evo nadzornika koji su upravljali Salomonovim radovima: njih pet stotina i pedeset koji su zapovijedali puku zaposlenu na radovima.

Now there were five hundred fifty leaders in the first place over all the works of Solomon, and they had people subject to them, and these were given orders for the appointed works.

24 Čim je faraonova kći ušla iz Davidova grada u kuću koju joj Salomon bijaše sagradio, tada on podiže Milo.

And the daughter of Pharaoh went up from the city of David to her house, which Solomon had built for her. Then he built up Millo.

25 Salomon je tri puta u godini prinosio paljenice i pričesnice na žrtveniku koji je podigao Jahvi i palio je kad pred Jahvom. Tako je dovršio Hram.

Also, three times each year, Solomon offered holocausts and victims of peace offerings, upon the altar that he had built to the Lord, and he burned incense before the Lord. And the temple was perfected.

26 Kralj Salomon je sagradio brodovlje u Esjon-Geberu, koji je kralj Elata, na obali Crvenoga mora, u zemlji edomskoj.

And king Solomon made a navy at Ezion Geber, which is beside Eloth, on the shores of the Red Sea, in the land of Idumea.

27 Hiram je poslao na tim lađama svoje sluge, mornare koji su poznavali more, sa slugama Salomonovim.

And Hiram sent his servants to that navy, the sailors and those knowledgeable about the sea, with the servants of Solomon.

28 Oni otploviše u Ofir, uzeše odande četiri stotine i dvadeset talenata zlata i donesoše ih kralju Salomonu.

And when they had gone to Ophir, taking from there four hundred twenty talents of gold, they brought it to king Solomon.
