1 Kraljevima 10
1 Glas koji je u Jahvinu Imenu stekao Salomon dopro je do kraljice od Sabe; zato ona dođe da Salomona iskuša zagonetkama.
And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon in connection with the name of the Lord, she came to prove him with riddles.
2 Došla je u Jeruzalem s golemom pratnjom, s devama koje su nosile mirise, nebrojeno zlato i drago kamenje. Došavši k Salomonu, porazgovori se s njim o svemu što joj bijaše na srcu.
And she came to Jerusalem with an exceedingly great train, with camels bearing spices, and gold in great abundance, and precious stones: and when she was come to Solomon, she spoke with him of all that was on her heart.
3 Salomon joj odgovori na sva pitanja; nije mu bilo skriveno ništa da joj ne bi umio objasniti.
And Solomon solved [for] her all her questions: nothing remained hidden from the king, which he did not tell her.
4 Kad kraljica od Sabe vidje mudrost Salomonovu, dvor koji bijaše sagradio,
And when the queen of Sheba saw all Solomon's wisdom, and the house that he had built,
5 jela na njegovu stolu, odaje njegove i dvorane, otmjenost njegove posluge i njihova odijela, njegove peharnike i paljenice koje je prinio u Domu Jahvinu, zastade joj dah.
And the food of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel, and his cup-bearers, and his ascent by which he went up unto the house of the Lord: there was no more spirit in her.
6 Tada reče kralju: “Istina je bila što sam u svojoj zemlji čula o tebi i o tvojoj mudrosti.
And she said to the king, The truth only was the word that I heard in my own land of thy acts and of thy wisdom.
7 Ali nisam htjela vjerovati što se pripovijeda dokle god nisam došla i vidjela na svoje oči; i doista, ni pola mi nije bilo rečeno: ti nadvisuješ u mudrosti i blagostanju slavu o kojoj sam čula.
And I believed not in the words, until I came, and my eyes saw [all]: and, behold, the half hath not been told me; thou excellest in wisdom and prosperity the report which I have heard.
8 Blago tvojim ženama, blago ovim tvojim slugama koji su neprestano pred tobom i slušaju tvoju mudrost!
Happy are thy men, happy are these thy servants, who stand before thee continually, who hear thy wisdom.
9 Neka je blagoslovljen Jahve, Bog tvoj, komu si tako omilio da te postavio na prijestolje Izraelaca; zato što Jahve uvijek ljubi Izraela, postavio te kraljem da činiš pravo i pravicu.”
Blessed be the Lord thy God, who hath had delight in thee, to place thee on the throne of Israel; because the Lord loveth Israel for ever, therefore hath he made thee king, to do justice and righteousness.
10 Dade tada kralju stotinu i dvadeset zlatnih talenata, mnogo miomirisa i dragulja. Nikad više nije bilo takvih miomirisa kakve je kraljica od Sabe dala kralju Salomonu.
And she gave to the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices a very great store, and precious stones: there came no more spices in such abundance as these which the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.
11 Pa i Hiramovo brodovlje, koje je donosilo zlato iz Ofira, dovezlo je odande mnogo sandalovine i dragulja.
And also the ship of Hiram, that fetched gold from Ophir, brought in from Ophir in great abundance sandal-wood and precious stones.
12 Kralj je od sandalovine napravio ograde za Dom Jahvin i za kraljevski dvor, i citre i harfe za pjevače; nikada se više nije dovezlo toliko sandalova drveta niti se vidjelo do danas.
And the king made of the sandal-wood a railing for the house of the Lord, and for the king's house, and harps and psalteries for the singers: there came no such sandal-wood, nor was it seen [again] until this day.
13 Kralj Salomon dade kraljici od Sabe što je god zaželjela i zatražila, a povrh toga kraljevski je obdari. Potom ona krenu i sa slugama vrati se u svoju zemlju.
And king Solomon gave unto the queen of Sheba all her pleasure, whatsoever she asked, beside what Solomon gave her of his royal bounty. So she turned about and went to her own country, she and her servants.
14 Zlato što je dolazilo Salomonu svake godine bilo je teško šest stotina šezdeset i šest zlatnih talenata,
Now the weight of the gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty and six talents of gold,
15 osim onoga što je dolazilo od trgovaca i prodavača-potukača i od svih arapskih kraljeva i upravitelja zemaljskih.
Beside [what he had] of the traveling tradesmen, and of the traffic of the merchants, and of the kings of confederate nations, and of the governors of the country.
16 Kralj Salomon načini tri stotine velikih štitova od kovanog zlata; za svaki je štit upotrijebio šest stotina zlatnih šekela;
And king Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold: six hundred shekels of gold he used for each one target.
17 i načini trista štitića od kovanog zlata; za svaki je štitić utrošio tri zlatne mine. Pohranio je sve u kuću zvanu Libanonska šuma.
And [he made] three hundred shields of beaten gold; three manehs of gold he used for each one shield: and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
18 Kralj je još napravio veliko prijestolje od bjelokosti i obložio ga čistim zlatom.
The king also made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with the best gold.
19 Prijestolje je imalo šest stepenica, straga je na njemu bila teleća glava, a s obje strane sjedala bile su ručice, a kraj ručica stajala dva lava.
The throne had six steps, and there was a round top on the throne behind; and there were arms on either side on the place of the seat, and two lions stood beside the arms.
20 Dvanaest je lavova stajalo s obje strane onih šest stepenica. Takvo što nije bilo izrađeno ni u jednom kraljevstvu.
And twelve lions stood there upon the six steps on both sides: there was not the like made in any other kingdom.
21 Sve posude iz kojih je pio kralj Salomon bijahu zlatne, i sve posuđe u kući zvanoj Libanonska šuma bijaše od suhoga zlata; ništa nije bilo od srebra, jer se ono smatralo bezvrijednim u Salomonovo vrijeme.
And all king Solomon's drinking-vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold; none were of silver; it was not valued in the days of Solomon at the least.
22 Kralj je imao taršiško brodovlje na moru zajedno s Hiramovim brodovljem, i svake treće godine dolazilo je taršiško brodovlje donoseći zlato, srebro i slonovu kost, majmune i paune.
For the king had a Tharshish-ship at sea with the ship of Hiram: once in three years the Tharshish-ship used to come home, laden with gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
23 Tako je kralj Salomon natkrilio sve zemaljske kraljeve bogatstvom i mudrošću.
And king Solomon became greater than all the kings of the earth for riches and for wisdom.
24 Sav je svijet želio vidjeti Salomona i čuti mudrost koju mu je Bog ulio u srce.
And [men of] all the earth sought the presence of Solomon to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
25 Svatko mu je donosio dar: srebro i zlatno posuđe, haljine, oružje, miomirise, konje i mazge, iz godine u godinu.
And they brought every man his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and armor, and spices, horses, and mules: and so year by year.
26 Uz to je Salomon sakupio bojnih kola i konjanika; imao je tisuću i četiri stotine bojnih kola i dvanaest tisuća konja i rasporedio ih je po gradovima bojnih kola i kod kralja u Jeruzalemu.
And Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, whom he quartered in the cities for chariots, and near the king at Jerusalem.
27 Salomon je učinio da u Jeruzalemu bude srebra kao kamenja, a cedrova kao divljih smokava što rastu u Šefeli.
And the king rendered the silver in Jerusalem like stones, and the cedars he rendered like the sycamore-trees that are in the lowlands, for abundance.
28 Salomon je uvozio konje iz Musrija i Koe: kraljevi nabavljači uvozili su ih iz Koe za određenu svotu.
And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt; and a company of the king's merchants bought a quantity at a price.
29 Kola se dovozila iz Egipta po šest stotina srebrnih šekela; a konj se plaćao po stotinu i pedeset. Tako ih preko nabavljača dobivahu svi kraljevi hetitski i aramejski.
And a chariot-team came up and went out of Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty: and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, did they bring them out by their means.
