2 Chronicles, 2

1. And Solomon resolved to build a house to the name of the Lord, and a palace for himself.

1. Odbroji sedamdeset tisuæa nosaèa, osamdeset tisuæa kamenolomaca u gori i tri tisuæe i šest stotina poslovoða.

2. And he numbered seventy thousand men to carry upon shoulders, and eighty thousand who were hewing stones in the mountains, and three thousand six hundred as their overseers.

2. Tada posla ovu poruku Hiramu, tirskomu kralju: "Kao što si mome ocu Davidu slao cedrovine da gradi dvor gdje æe živjeti, tako uèini i meni.

3. Also, he sent to Hiram, the king of Tyre, saying: “Just as you did for my father David, when you sent him cedar wood, so that he might build a house for himself, in which he then lived,

3. Kanim podiæi Dom Imenu Jahve, svojega Boga, i posvetiti mu ga da se diže pred njim miomirisni kad, da se uvijek postavljaju kruhovi, da se prinose paljenice jutrom i veèerom, subotom, na dane mlaðaka i na blagdane Jahve, Boga našega; i tako da zauvijek ostane u Izraelu.

4. do so also for me, so that I may build a house to the name of the Lord my God, so that I may consecrate it for the burning of incense before him, and for the smoke of aromatics, and for the perpetual bread of the presence, and for the holocausts, in morning and in evening, as well as on the Sabbaths and new moons and solemnities of the Lord our God forever, which have been commanded to Israel.

4. Dom koji gradim bit æe velik, jer je naš Bog najveæi meðu svim bozima.

5. For the house that I desire to build is great. For our God is great, above all gods.

5. TÓa tko bi imao dovoljno snage da njemu sazda Dom kad ga ni nebesa, ni nebesa nad nebesima ne mogu obuhvatiti? I tko sam ja da mu zidam Dom, osim zato da mu se kad diže pred lice?

6. So then, who will be able prevail, so that he may build a worthy house for him? If heaven and the heavens of heavens cannot contain him, what am I that I would be able to build a house to him? But let it be for this only, so that incense may be burned before him.

6. Pošalji mi èovjeka vièna obradi zlata, srebra, tuèa, željeza, grimiza, karmezina i ljubièastog baršuna, i vièna umjetnosti rezbarstva: radit æe s rukotvorcima kod mene u Judi i u Jeruzalemu, s onima što mi ih ostavi moj otac David.

7. Therefore, send to me a learned man, who knows how to work with gold and silver, with brass and iron, with purple, scarlet, and hyacinth, and who knows how to carve engravings, along with these artisans that I have with me in Judea and Jerusalem, whom my father David has prepared.

7. Pošalji mi iz Libanona cedrovine, èempresovine i sandalovine, jer znam da tvoje sluge umiju sjeæi libanonska stabla. Moje æe sluge raditi s tvojima.

8. Then too, send to me cedar wood, and juniper, and pine from Lebanon. For I know that your servants know how to cut timber from Lebanon, and my servants will be with your servants,

8. Morat æe mi pripraviti mnogo drva, jer æe kuæa što je mislim graditi biti velika i velièanstvena.

9. so that very much wood may be prepared for me. For the house that I desire to build is exceedingly great and glorious.

9. Drvosjeèama što æe obarati stabla dajem dvadeset tisuæa kora pšenice, dvadeset tisuæa kora jeèma, dvadeset tisuæa bata vina i dvadeset tisuæa bata ulja za izdržavanje tvojih slugu."

10. In addition, I will give to your servants, the workers who will cut down the trees, for provisions: twenty thousand cor of wheat, and the same number of cor of barley, and twenty thousand measures of wine, as well as twenty thousand good measures of oil.”

10. Hiram, tirski kralj, odgovori pismom što ga posla Salomonu: "Zato što voli svoj narod, Jahve te zakraljio nad njim."

11. Then Hiram, the king of Tyre, said, by a letter that had been sent to Solomon: “Because the Lord loved his people, for this reason he appointed you to reign over them.”

11. Dometnu još i ovo: "Neka je blagoslovljen Jahve, Bog Izraelov, koji je stvorio nebesa i zemlju. On je kralju Davidu dao mudra, pametna i umna sina koji æe jedan dom graditi Jahvi, a drugi sebi da iz njega kraljuje.

12. And he added, saying: “Blessed is the Lord, the God of Israel, who made heaven and earth, who gave to king David a son who is wise, and learned, and intelligent as well as prudent, so that he may build a house to the Lord, and a palace for himself.

12. Stoga ti šaljem èovjeka mudra, vješta i razumna, Hurama Abija,

13. Therefore, I have sent my father Hiram to you; he is a prudent and very knowledgeable man,

13. sina jedne Danovke i oca Tirca. Umije obraðivati zlato, srebro, tuè, željezo, kamen, drvo, grimiz, ljubièasti baršun, bÓez i karmezin, umije rezbariti svakovrsne rezbarije i zamisliti svako djelo koje mu se povjeri. On æe raditi s tvojim umjetnicima i umjetnicima moga gospodara Davida, tvoga oca.

14. the son of a woman from the daughters of Dan, whose father was a Tyrian, who knows how to work with gold and silver, with brass and iron, and with marble and timber, as well as with purple, and hyacinth, and fine linen, and scarlet. And he knows how to carve every kind of engraving, and how to devise prudently whatever may be necessary to the work, with your artisans and with the artisans of my lord David, your father.

14. Neka, dakle, sada moj gospodar svojim slugama pošalje pšenice, jeèma, ulja i vina kako je obeæao.

15. Therefore, send the wheat and barley and oil and wine, which you, my lord, have promised, to your own servants.

15. A mi æemo nasjeæi stabala s Libanona koliko ti god treba i dovest æemo ti ih na splavima morem u Jafu, a ti ih prevezi gore u Jeruzalem."

16. Then we will cut down as much wood from Lebanon as you will need, and we will convey them as rafts by sea to Joppa. Then it will be for you to transfer them to Jerusalem.”

16. Salomon pobroji sve strance koji se zatekoše u Izraelovoj zemlji poslije popisa što ga bijaše proveo njegov otac David i naðe ih sto pedeset tri tisuæe i šest stotina.

17. And so Solomon numbered all the new converts who were in the land of Israel, after the numbering that David his father had done, and they were found to be one hundred fifty thousand and three thousand six hundred.

17. Od njih odredi sedamdeset tisuæa nosaèa, osamdeset tisuæa tesara u planini, tri tisuæe i šest stotina ljudi da upravljaju radom naroda.

18. And he appointed seventy thousand of them, who would carry burdens on shoulders, and eighty thousand who would hew stones in the mountains, then three thousand and six hundred as overseers of the work of the people.

18.
