2 Ljetopisa 9
1 Uto kraljica od Sabe ču glas o Salomonu; hoteći iskušati Salomona zagonetkama, dođe u Jeruzalem s mnogobrojnom pratnjom i s devama koje su nosile miomirise, mnogo zlata i dragulja. Došavši k Salomonu, porazgovori se s njim o svemu što joj bijaše na srcu.
And when the Queene of Sheba heard of the fame of Salomon, she came to proue Salomon with hard questions at Ierusalem, with a very great traine, and camels that bare sweete odours and much golde, and precious stones: and when she came to Salomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart.
2 Salomon joj odgovori na sva pitanja; nije bilo Salomonu sakriveno ništa da joj ne bi umio objasniti.
And Salomon declared her all her questions, and there was nothing hid from Salomon, which he declared not vnto her.
3 Kad kraljica od Sabe vidje njegovu mudrost, dvor koji bijaše sagradio,
Then the Queene of Sheba sawe the wisedome of Salomon, and the house that he had buylt,
4 jela na njegovu stolu, odaje njegove i dvorane, otmjenost njegove posluge i njihova odijela, i njegove peharnike i njihova odijela, i njegove paljenice koje je prinosio u Jahvinu domu, zastade joj dah.
And the meate of his table, and the sitting of his seruants, and the order of his wayters, and their apparel, and his butlers, and their apparel, and his burnt offrings which he offred in the house of the Lord, and she was greatly astonied.
5 Tada reče kralju: “Istina je bila što sam u svojoj zemlji čula o tebi i o tvojoj mudrosti.
And she saide to the King, It was a true worde which I heard in mine owne lande of thy sayings, and of thy wisedome:
6 Ali nisam htjela vjerovati što se pripovijeda dokle god nisam došla i vidjela na svoje oči; i doista, ni pola mi nije bilo rečeno o tvojoj velikoj mudrosti; nadvisio si glas koji sam slušala.
Howbeit I beleeued not their report, vntil I came, and mine eyes had seene it: and beholde, the one halfe of thy great wisedom was not told me: for thou exceedest the fame that I heard.
7 Blago tvojim ljudima i tvojim slugama koji stoje pred tobom i slušaju tvoju mudrost!
Happie are thy men, and happie are these thy seruants, which stande before thee alway, and heare thy wisedome.
8 Neka je blagoslovljen Jahve, tvoj Bog, komu si tako omilio da te postavio na svoje prijestolje da kraljuješ umjesto Jahve, svojega Boga, jer Bog tvoj ljubi Izraela da bi ga održao dovijeka; i zato je postavio tebe za kralja da činiš pravo i pravicu.”
Blessed be the Lord thy God, which loued thee, to set thee on his throne as King, in the steade of the Lord thy God: because thy God loueth Israel, to establish it for euer, therefore hath he made thee King ouer them, to execute iudgement and iustice.
9 Dala je tada kralju sto i dvadeset zlatnih talenata i mnogo miomirisa i dragulja. Nikad više nije bilo takvih miomirisa kakve je kraljica od Sabe dala kralju Salomonu.
Then she gaue the King sixe score talents of golde, and of sweete odours exceeding much and precious stones: neither was there such sweete odours since, as the Queene of Sheba gaue vnto King Salomon.
10 Hiramove sluge, koje su sa Salomonovim slugama donosile zlata iz Ofira, dovezle su također sandalovine i dragulja.
And the seruants also of Huram, and the seruants of Salomon which brought golde from Ophir, brought Algummim wood and precious stones.
11 Kralj je napravio i citre i harfe za pjevače: nikad se prije nisu vidjele takve stvari u zemlji judejskoj.
And the King made of the Algummim wood staires in the house of the Lord, and in the Kings house, and harpes and violes for singers: and there was no such seene before in the lande of Iudah.
12 Kralj Salomon dade kraljici od Sabe što je zaželjela i zatražila, izuzev ono što je sama donijela kralju. Potom ona krenu i sa slugama ode u svoju zemlju.
And King Salomon gaue to the Queene of Sheba euery pleasant thing that she asked, besides for that which she had brought vnto the King: so she returned and went to her owne countrey, both she, and her seruants.
13 Zlato što je dolazilo Salomonu svake godine bilo je teško šest stotina šezdeset i šest zlatnih talenata,
Also the weight of golde that came to Salomon in one yeere, was sixe hundreth three score and sixe talents of golde,
14 osim onoga što je dolazilo od trgovaca i putujućih prodavača. I svi su arapski kraljevi i zemaljski upravitelji Salomonu donosili zlato i srebro.
Besides that which chapmen and marchants brought: and all the Kings of Arabia, and the princes of the countrey brought golde and siluer to Salomon.
15 Kralj Salomon načini dvjesta štitova od kovanoga zlata; za svaki je štit upotrijebio šest stotina šekela kovanoga zlata;
And King Salomon made two hundreth targets of beaten golde, and sixe hundreth shekels of beaten golde went to one target,
16 i načini trista štitića od kovanoga zlata; za svaki je štitić utrošio trista zlatnih šekela. Kralj ih je pohranio u kuću zvanu Libanonska šuma.
And three hundreth shieldes of beaten golde: three hundreth shekels of golde went to one shielde, and the King put them in the house of the wood of Lebanon.
17 Kralj je napravio i veliko prijestolje od bjelokosti i obložio ga čistim zlatom.
And the King made a great throne of yuorie and ouerlaid it with pure golde.
18 Prijestolje je imalo šest stepenica i zlatno podnožje sastavljeno s prijestoljem, i ručice s obiju strana prijestolja, a kraj ručica stajala dva lava.
And the throne had sixe steppes, with a footestoole of gold fastened to the throne, and stayes on either side on the place of the seate, and two lyons standing by the stayes.
19 Dvanaest je lavova stajalo s obiju strana onih šest stepenica. Takvo što nije bilo izrađeno ni u jednom kraljevstvu.
And twelue lyons stoode there on the sixe steps on either side: there was not the like made in any kingdome.
20 Sve posude iz kojih je pio kralj Salomon bijahu zlatne i sve posuđe u kući zvanoj Libanonska šuma bijaše od suhoga zlata; srebro se smatralo bezvrijednim u Salomonovo vrijeme.
And all King Salomons drinking vessels were of golde, and all the vessels of the house of the wood of Lebanon were of pure gold: for siluer was nothing esteemed in ye dayes of Salomon.
21 Kraljeve su lađe išle u Taršiš s Hiramovim slugama; svake treće godine vraćale su se i dolazile taršiške lađe donoseći zlato i srebro, slonovu kost, majmune i paune.
For the Kings ships went to Tarshish with the seruants of Huram, euery three yeere once came the ships of Tarshish, and brought golde, and siluer, yuorie, and apes, and peacockes.
22 Tako je kralj Salomon natkrilio sve zemaljske kraljeve bogatstvom i mudrošću.
So King Salomon excelled all the Kings of the earth in riches and wisedome.
23 Svi su zemaljski kraljevi željeli vidjeti Salomona i čuti mudrost koju mu je Bog ulio u srce.
And all the Kings of the earth sought the presence of Salomon, to heare his wisedome that God had put in his heart.
24 Svatko mu je donosio dar, srebrno i zlatno posuđe, haljine, oružje i miomirise, konje i mazge, iz godine u godinu.
And they brought euery man his present, vessels of siluer, and vessels of golde, and raiment, armour, and sweet odours, horses, and mules, from yeere to yeere.
25 Salomon je imao četiri tisuće konjskih jasala i bojnih kola i dvanaest tisuća konjanika, koje je rasporedio po gradovima bojnih kola i kod kralja u Jeruzalemu.
And Salomon had foure thousand stalles of horses, and charets, and twelue thousand horsmen, whom he bestowed in the charet cities, and with the King at Ierusalem.
26 Vladao je nad svim kraljevima od Rijeke do zemlje filistejske i do egipatske međe.
And he reigned ouer all the Kings from the Riuer euen vnto the land of the Philistims, and to the border of Egypt.
27 Kralj je učinio da u Jeruzalemu bude srebra kao kamenja, a cedrova kao divljih smokava što rastu u Judejskoj nizini.
And the King gaue siluer in Ierusalem, as stones, and gaue cedar trees as the wilde fig trees, that are aboundant in the plaine.
28 Salomon je uvozio konje iz Musrija i iz svih zemalja.
And they brought vnto Salomon horses out of Egypt, and out of all landes.
29 Ostala djela Salomonova, od prvih do posljednjih, zapisana su u povijesti proroka Natana, u proročkoj knjizi Šilonjanina Ahije i u proročkoj besjedi vidioca Adona o Nebatovu sinu Jeroboamu.
Concerning the rest of the actes of Salomon first and last, are they not written in the booke of Nathan the Prophet, and in the prophecie of Ahiiah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Ieedo the Seer against Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat?
30 Salomon je vladao u Jeruzalemu nad svim Izraelom četrdeset godina.
And Salomon reigned in Ierusalem ouer all Israel fourtie yeeres.
31 Potom je počinuo kod otaca i sahranili su ga u gradu oca mu Davida, a na njegovo se mjesto zakraljio sin mu Roboam.
