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 try Solomon with hard questions at Jerusalem, with a very great company, and camels that bore spices, and gold in abundance, and precious stones: and when she had come to Solomon, she talked 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 Solomon answered her all her questions: and there was nothing hid from Solomon which he told her not.
3 Kad kraljica od Sabe vidje njegovu mudrost, dvor koji bijaše sagradio,
And when the queen of Sheba had seen 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; his cupbearers also, 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, It was a true report which 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.
Yet I believed not their words, until I came, and my eyes had seen it: and, behold, the one half of the greatness of thy wisdom was not told to me: for thou exceedest the fame that I 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 continually before thee, 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 delighted in thee to set thee on his throne, to be king for the LORD thy God: because thy God loved Israel, to establish them for ever, therefore he made thee king over them, to do judgment and justice.
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 the king an hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices great abundance, and precious stones: neither was there any such spice as 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 the servants also of Huram, and the servants of Solomon, who brought gold from Ophir, brought algum 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 algum trees terraces to the house of the LORD, and to the king’s palace, and harps and psalteries for singers: and there were none such seen 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 to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she asked, besides that which she had brought to the king. So she turned, and went away to her own land, 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 that which traders and merchants brought. And all the kings of Arabia and 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 shields of beaten gold: six hundred shekels of beaten gold went to one shield.
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 hundred shields made he of beaten gold: three hundred shekels of gold went to 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.
Moreover the king 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 there were six steps to the throne, with a footstool of gold, which were fastened to the throne, and stays on each side of the sitting place, and two lions standing by the stays:
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 on the one side and on the other upon the six steps. 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 the drinking vessels of king Solomon 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 considered as any thing in the days of Solomon.
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 Tarshish with the servants of Huram: once every three years came the ships of Tarshish bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
22 Tako je kralj Salomon natkrilio sve zemaljske kraljeve bogatstvom i mudrošću.
And king Solomon excelled all the kings of the earth in 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, 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 every man his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and raiment, armour, and spices, horses, and mules, at a certain rate 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 placed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
26 Vladao je nad svim kraljevima od Rijeke do zemlje filistejske i do egipatske međe.
And he reigned over all the kings from the river even to the land of the Philistines, 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 made silver in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar trees he made as the sycamore trees that are in the low plains in abundance.
28 Salomon je uvozio konje iz Musrija i iz svih zemalja.
And they brought to Solomon horses 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.
Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last, are they not written in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Iddo the seer concerning Jeroboam 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 he was buried in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead.
