2 Chronicles 7
1 And when Solomon had completed pouring out his prayers, fire descended from heaven, and it devoured the holocausts and the victims. And the majesty of the Lord filled the house.
Kad Salomon dovrši molitvu, spusti se oganj s neba i spali paljenicu i klanice i slava Jahvina ispuni Dom.
2 Neither were the priests able to enter into the temple of the Lord, because the majesty of the Lord had filled the temple of the Lord.
Svećenici ne mogoše ući, jer slava Jahvina bješe ispunila Dom Jahvin.
3 Moreover, all the sons of Israel saw the fire descending, and the glory of the Lord upon the house. And falling prone upon the ground, on the layer of pavement stones, they adored and praised the Lord: “For he is good. For his mercy is everlasting.”
Svi sinovi Izraelovi, videći gdje se oganj sa slavom Jahvinom spustio na Dom, padoše ničice k zemlji do kamenog poda; pokloniv se, počeše slaviti Jahvu “jer je dobar i jer je vječna njegova ljubav”.
4 Then the king and all the people were immolating victims before the Lord.
Potom kralj i čitav narod stadoše žrtvovati žrtve pred Jahvom.
5 And so, king Solomon slaughtered victims: twenty-two thousand oxen, and one hundred twenty thousand rams. And the king and the entire people dedicated the house of God.
Kralj Salomon prinese za žrtvu dvadeset i dvije tisuće goveda, sto i dvadeset tisuća ovaca; i tako posvetiše Dom Jahvin i kralj i sav narod.
6 Then the priests and the Levites were standing in their offices, with the instruments of music for the Lord, which king David made in order to praise the Lord: “For his mercy is eternal.” And they were playing the hymns of David with their hands. And the priests were sounding out with trumpets before them, and all of Israel was standing.
Dok su svećenici stajali na dužnostima, leviti su na glazbalima za Jahvine pjesme, što ih učini kralj David, slavili Jahvu “jer je vječna njegova ljubav”. Time je David preko njihovih ruku hvalio Jahvu. Pred njima su svećenici trubili u trube, dok su Izraelci stajali.
7 Also, Solomon sanctified the middle of the atrium in front of the temple of the Lord. For he had offered the holocausts and the fat of peace offerings in that place because the bronze altar, which he had made, had not been able to support the holocausts and the sacrifices and the fat.
Salomon je posvetio i sredinu predvorja koje je pred Jahvinim Domom, jer je ondje prinio paljenice i pretilinu od pričesnica, jer na tučani žrtvenik koji bijaše napravio Salomon nisu mogle stati paljenice ni prinosi ni pretilina.
8 Therefore, Solomon kept the solemnity, at that time, for seven days, and all of Israel with him, a very great assembly, from the entrance of Hamath, even to the torrent of Egypt.
U to je doba Salomon svetkovao blagdan sedam dana i sav Izrael s njime, vrlo velik zbor, od Ulaza u Hamat pa do Egipatskoga potoka.
9 And on the eighth day, he held a solemn gathering, because he had dedicated the altar over seven days, and he had celebrated the solemnity over seven days.
A osmoga su dana svetkovali svečani zbor, jer su posvetu žrtveniku svetkovali sedam dana i blagdan sedam dana.
10 And so, on the twenty-third day of the seventh month, he dismissed the people to their dwellings, joyful and glad over the good that the Lord had done for David, and for Solomon, and for his people Israel.
Dvadeset trećega dana sedmoga mjeseca posla ljude k njihovim šatorima i odoše vesela i zadovoljna srca zbog dobra koje je Jahve učinio Davidu i Salomonu i svem narodu izraelskom.
11 And Solomon completed the house of the Lord, and the house of the king, and all that he had resolved in his heart to do for the house of the Lord, and for his own house. And he prospered.
Tako je Salomon dovršio Dom Jahvin i kraljevski dvor i izveo sve što god bješe zasnovano da izvrši u Domu Jahvinu i u svojem dvoru.
12 Then the Lord appeared to him by night, and said: “I have heard your prayer, and I have chosen this place for myself as a house of sacrifice.
Potom se Jahve ukaza Salomonu noću i reče mu: “Uslišao sam tvoju molitvu i izabrao to mjesto da mi bude Dom žrtve.
13 If I close up heaven, so that no rain will fall, or if I order and instruct the locust to devour the land, or if I send a pestilence among my people,
Ako zatvorim nebo da ne bude dažda, ili zapovjedim skakavcima da popasu zemlju, ili pustim kugu na svoj narod,
14 and if my people, over whom my name has been invoked, being converted, will have petitioned me and sought my face, and will have done penance for their wicked ways, then I will heed them from heaven, and I will forgive their sins, and I will heal their land.
i ponizi se moj narod na koji je prizvano Ime moje i pomoli se i potraži lice moje i okani se zlih putova, ja ću ga tada uslišati s neba i oprostiti mu grijeh i izliječit ću mu zemlju.
15 Also, my eyes will be open, and my ears will be attentive, to the prayer of him who shall pray in this place.
Moje će oči biti otvorene i moje uši pažljive na molitvu s ovoga mjesta.
16 For I have chosen and sanctified this place, so that my name may be there continually, and so that my eyes and my heart may remain there, for all days.
Sada sam, dakle, izabrao i posvetio ovaj Dom da ovdje bude Ime moje zauvijek i ovdje će sve dane biti moje oči i moje srce.
17 And as for you, if you will walk before me, just as your father David walked, and if you will act in accord with all that I have instructed you, and if you will observe my justices and judgments,
A ti, budeš li išao preda mnom kako ti je išao otac David, vršeći sve što sam ti zapovjedio i držeći se mojih uredaba i zakona,
18 I will raise up the throne of your kingdom, just as I promised to your father David, saying: ‘There shall not be taken away a man from your stock who will be ruler in Israel.’
uzdržat ću tvoje kraljevsko prijestolje kako sam obećao tvome ocu Davidu govoreći: 'Neće ti ponestati nasljednika koji bi vladao u Izraelu.'
19 But if you will have turned away, and will have forsaken my justices and my precepts, which I have set before you, and going astray, you serve strange gods, and you adore them,
Ali ako me ostavite i napustite uredbe i zapovijedi koje sam vam dao te otiđete i počnete služiti tuđim bogovima i klanjati im se,
20 I will uproot you from my land, which I gave to you, and from this house, which I sanctified to my name, and I will cast it away from before my face, and I will deliver it to be a parable and an example for all the peoples.
istjerat ću Izraelce iz svoje zemlje koju sam im dao i odbacit ću od sebe ovaj Dom koji sam posvetio svojem Imenu i učinit ću od njega priču i sramotu među svim narodima.
21 And this house will be like a proverb to all who pass by. And being astonished, they shall say: ‘Why has the Lord acted this way toward this land and toward this house?’
Tko god prođe mimo ovaj Dom koji bijaše preslavan zaprepastit će se od užasa i pitati: 'Zašto je Jahve tako učinio s ovom zemljom i s ovim Domom?'
22 And they shall respond: ‘Because they abandoned the Lord, the God of their fathers, who led them away from the land of Egypt, and they took hold of foreign gods, and they adored and worshipped them. Therefore, all these evils have overwhelmed them.’”
I odgovorit će mu se: 'Ostavili su Jahvu, Boga svojih otaca, koji ih je izveo iz Egipta, i okrenuli se tuđinskim bogovima, i klanjali im se, i služili im, i zato je Jahve pustio na njih sve ovo zlo.'”
