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 queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to prove Solomon with riddles at Jerusalem, with a very great train, and with camels bearing spices, and gold in abundance, and precious stones: and when she was come to Solomon, she spoke with him of all that was on her heart.
2 Salomon joj odgovori na sva pitanja; nije bilo Salomonu sakriveno ništa da joj ne bi umio objasniti.
And Solomon solved for her all her questions; and there was nothing hidden from Solomon which he did not tell her.
3 Kad kraljica od Sabe vidje njegovu mudrost, dvor koji bijaše sagradio,
And when the queen of Sheba saw the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had built,
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 food of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel, and his cup-bearers, and their apparel; and his ascent by which he went up into the house of the Lord: there was no more spirit in her.
5 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.
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.
And I believed not in their words, until I came, and my eyes saw [all]; and, behold, the one-half of the greatness of thy wisdom hath not been told me: thou excellest the report which I have heard.
7 Blago tvojim ljudima i tvojim slugama koji stoje pred tobom i slušaju tvoju mudrost!
Happy are thy men, and happy are these thy servants, who stand before thee continually, and hear thy wisdom.
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, who hath had delight in thee to place thee on his throne, as a king for the Lord thy God; because thy God loved Israel, to sustain them for ever, therefore hath he placed thee over them as king, to exercise justice and righteousness.
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.
And she gave to the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices in very great abundance, and precious stones: and there never were any such spices as those which the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.
10 Hiramove sluge, koje su sa Salomonovim slugama donosile zlata iz Ofira, dovezle su također sandalovine i dragulja.
And also the servants of Churam, and the servants of Solomon, who brought gold from Ophir, brought sandal-trees 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 sandal-trees steps for the house of the Lord, and for the king's palace, and harps and psalteries for singers: and there were never seen the like of them before in the land of Judah.
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 Solomon gave unto the queen of Sheba all her pleasure, whatsoever she asked, beside [a return for] that which she had brought unto the king. And she turned about and went away to her own country, she and her servants.
13 Zlato što je dolazilo Salomonu svake godine bilo je teško šest stotina šezdeset i šest zlatnih talenata,
Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty and six talents of gold;
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 what the travelling tradesmen and the merchants brought. And all the kings of Arabia and the governors of the country brought gold and silver to Solomon.
15 Kralj Salomon načini dvjesta štitova od kovanoga zlata; za svaki je štit upotrijebio šest stotina šekela kovanoga zlata;
And king Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold: six hundred shekels of beaten gold he used for each 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 [he made] three hundred shields of beaten gold; three hundred shekels of gold he used for each one shield. And the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
17 Kralj je napravio i veliko prijestolje od bjelokosti i obložio ga čistim zlatom.
The king also made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold.
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 six steps, with a footstool of gold, fastened into the throne; and there were arms on either side, on the place of the seat; and two lions stood beside the arms;
19 Dvanaest je lavova stajalo s obiju strana 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 kingdom.
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 Solomon's drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold: no silver was valued in the days of Solomon at the least.
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 king's ships went to Tharshish with the servants of Churam; once in three years did the Tharshish-ships use to come home laden with gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
22 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 wisdom.
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 Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which 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 every man his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, armor, and spices, horses, and mules; [and] so year by year.
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 Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, whom he quartered in the cities for chariots, and near the king at Jerusalem.
26 Vladao je nad svim kraljevima od Rijeke do zemlje filistejske i do egipatske međe.
And he was ruling over all the kings from the river even unto the land of the Philistines, and as far as the boundary 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 rendered silver in Jerusalem like stones, and the cedar-trees he rendered like the sycamore-trees that are in the lowlands, for abundance.
28 Salomon je uvozio konje iz Musrija i iz svih zemalja.
And men were bringing out horses for Solomon from Egypt and from all lands.
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.
And the remainder of the acts of Solomon, the first and the last, behold, they are written in the history of Nathan the prophet, and in the prophecy of Achiyah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Ye'do the seer concerning Jerobo'am the son of Nebat.
30 Salomon je vladao u Jeruzalemu nad svim Izraelom četrdeset godina.
And Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years.
31 Potom je počinuo kod otaca i sahranili su ga u gradu oca mu Davida, a na njegovo se mjesto zakraljio sin mu Roboam.
And Solomon slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David his father: and Rehobo'am his son became king in his stead.
