1 Kings, 5

1. Hiram, the king of Tyre, also sent his servants to Solomon. For he heard that they had anointed him king in place of his father. Now Hiram had been a friend to David the entire time.

1. Salomon je proširio svoju vlast nad svim kraljevstvima od Rijeke sve do zemlje filistejske i do meðe egipatske. Ona su donosila svoj danak i služila Salomonu sve dane njegova života.

2. Then Solomon sent to Hiram, saying:

2. Svakoga je dana trebalo Salomonu za hranu: trideset kora finoga brašna i šezdeset kora obiènog brašna,

3. “You know the will of my father David, and that he was not able to build a house to the name of the Lord his God, because of the wars that were imminent all around him, until the Lord set them under the steps of his feet.

3. deset ugojenih volova, dvadeset volova s paše, stotinu ovaca, osim jelena, srna, divokoza i ugojene peradi.

4. But now the Lord my God has given rest to me on all sides. And there is no adversary, nor occurrence of evil.

4. Jer on je vladao nad svime onkraj Rijeke - od Tafse do Gaze, nad svim kraljevima s onu stranu Eufrata - i imao je mir po svim granicama naokolo.

5. For this reason, I intend to build a temple to the name of the Lord my God, just as the Lord spoke to my father David, saying: ‘Your son, whom I will set in your place, upon your throne, he himself shall build a house to my name.’

5. Juda i sav Izrael živjeli su bez straha, svaki pod svojom lozom i pod svojom smokvom, od Dana sve do Beer Šebe, svega vijeka Salomonova.

6. Therefore, order that your servants may cut down for me cedars from Lebanon. And let my servants be with your servants. Then I will give to you, for the wages of your servants, whatever you will ask. For you know that there is not a man among my people who knows how to cut wood as well as the Sidonians.”

6. Salomon je imao èetrdeset tisuæa konja za vuèu i dvanaest tisuæa za jahanje.

7. Therefore, when Hiram had heard the words of Solomon, he rejoiced greatly, and he said, “Blessed be the Lord God this day, who gave to David a very wise son over this numerous people!”

7. Ti su se namjesnici brinuli o opskrbi kralja Salomona i sviju koji su imali dijela za kraljevim stolom, svaki po mjesec dana; i nisu dopuštali da ièega ponestane.

8. And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying: “I have heard the things that you would entrust to me. And I will do your whole will concerning the cedar trees and spruce trees.

8. I jeèam i slamu za konje i tegleæu marvu donosili su na mjesto gdje se zadržavao, svaki kako bi ga zapalo.

9. My servants shall bring them down from Lebanon to the sea. And I will arrange them together as rafts on the sea, as far as the place that you will indicate to me. And I will land them there, and you will take them. And you shall offer to me what is necessary to give food to my house.”

9. Jahve je dao Salomonu mudrost i izuzetnu razboritost i srce široko kao pijesak na obali morskoj.

10. And so, Hiram gave to Solomon cedar trees and spruce trees, in accord with his whole will.

10. Mudrost je Salomonova bila veæa od mudrosti svih sinova Istoka i od sve mudrosti Egipta.

11. Then Solomon offered to Hiram twenty thousand cor of wheat, as food for his house, and twenty cor of the purest oil. These things Solomon gave as a tribute to Hiram every year.

11. Bio je mudriji od svih ljudi, od Etana Ezrahanina, od Hemana, Kalkola i Darde, sinova Maholovih; njegovo se ime pronosilo meðu svim narodima unaokolo.

12. And the Lord gave wisdom to Solomon, just as he said to him. And there was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and the two struck a pact.

12. Izrekao je tri tisuæe mudrih izreka, a njegovih je pjesama bilo tisuæu i pet.

13. And king Solomon chose workers from all of Israel, and the conscription was of thirty thousand men.

13. Zborio je o drveæu: od cedra što je na Libanonu pa do izopa što klija na zidu; raspravljao je o životinjama, o pticama, o gmazovima i o ribama.

14. And he sent them into Lebanon, ten thousand each month, in turns, so that for two months they were in their own houses. And Adoniram was over this type of conscription.

14. Dolazili su od sviju naroda da èuju mudrost Salomonovu, od svih zemaljskih kraljeva koji su èuli glas o njegovoj mudrosti.

15. And Solomon had seventy thousand of those who were carrying burdens, and eighty thousand of those who cut stones from the mountain,

15. Tirski kralj Hiram posla svoje sluge Salomonu, jer bijaše èuo da su ga pomazali za kralja na mjesto njegova oca, a Hiram je svagda bio prijatelj Davidov.

16. aside from the commanders who were over each work, in number three thousand and three hundred, who gave orders to the people and to those who were doing the work.

16. Tada Salomon poruèi Hiramu:

17. And the king ordered them to bring great stones, precious stones, for the foundation of the temple, and to square them.

17. "Ti znaš dobro da moj otac David nije mogao sagraditi Doma imenu Jahve, svoga Boga, zbog ratova kojima su ga okružili neprijatelji sa svih strana, sve dok ih Jahve nije položio pod stopala nogu njegovih.

18. And these were shaped by the stoneworkers of Solomon and the stoneworkers of Hiram. And the men of Gebal also prepared the wood and the stones in order to build the house.

18. Sada mi je Jahve, Bog moj, dao mir posvuda unaokolo: nemam neprijatelja ni zlih udesa.

19.

19. Namjeravam, dakle, sagraditi Dom imenu Jahve, Boga svoga, kako je Jahve rekao mome ocu Davidu: 'Tvoj sin koga æu mjesto tebe postaviti na tvoje prijestolje, on æe sagraditi Dom mome Imenu.'

20.

20. Stoga sada zapovjedi da mi nasijeku cedrova na Libanonu; moje æe sluge biti sa slugama tvojim, i ja æu platiti nadnicu tvojim slugama prema svemu kako mi odrediš. Ti znaš dobro da u nas nema ljudi koji umiju sjeæi drva kao Sidonci."

21.

21. Kada je Hiram primio Salomonovu poruku, veoma se obradova i reèe: "Neka je blagoslovljen danas Jahve koji je dao mudra sina Davidu, koji upravlja ovim velikim narodom."

22.

22. I Hiram javi Salomonu: "Primio sam tvoju poruku. Ispunit æu u svemu tvoju želju glede drva cedrova i drva èempresova.

23.

23. Moje æe ih sluge dopremiti s Libanona na more, složit æu ih u splavi i pustiti ih morem do mjesta koje æeš mi oznaèiti; ondje æu ih razložiti i ti æeš ih uzeti. Ti æeš pak ispuniti moju želju i dati hranu mojoj èeljadi."

24.

24. Hiram je davao Salomonu drva cedrova i èempresova koliko je htio,

25.

25. a Salomon je davao Hiramu dvadeset tisuæa kora pšenice za hranu ljudstvu, i dvadeset tisuæa kora ulja od tiještenih maslina. Toliko je Salomon davao Hiramu godinu za godinom.

26.

26. Jahve je dao mudrost Salomonu, kako mu bijaše obeæao; izmeðu Hirama i Salomona vladao je mir te oni sklopiše savez.

27.

27. Tada diže kralj Salomon kuluèare iz svega Izraela; kuluèara je bilo u svemu trideset tisuæa ljudi.

28.

28. Slao ih je naizmjence na Libanon, svakog mjeseca deset tisuæa ljudi: bili su mjesec dana na Libanonu, a dva mjeseca kod kuæe. Adoniram je bio nad svim kuluèarima.

29.

29. Salomon je imao i sedamdeset tisuæa nosaèa tereta, osamdeset tisuæa kamenorezaca u gori,

30.

30. ne raèunajuæi glavara službenièkih koji su upravljali poslovima; njih je bilo tri tisuæe i tri stotine, a upravljali su narodom zaposlenim na radovima.

31.

31. Kralj je zapovjedio da lome gromade biranog kamena i da ih klešu za temelje Hrama.

32.

32. Graditelji Salomonovi i Hiramovi, i oni iz Gibela, tesali su i pripremali drvo i klesali za gradnju Hrama.
