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 the queen of Sheba hath heard of the fame of Solomon, and cometh in to try Solomon with acute sayings, to Jerusalem, with a very great company, and camels bearing spices and gold in abundance, and precious stone; and she cometh in unto Solomon, and speaketh with him all that hath been with her heart,
2 Salomon joj odgovori na sva pitanja; nije bilo Salomonu sakriveno ništa da joj ne bi umio objasniti.
and Solomon declareth to her all her matters, and there hath not been hid a thing from Solomon that he hath not declared to her.
3 Kad kraljica od Sabe vidje njegovu mudrost, dvor koji bijaše sagradio,
And the queen of Sheba seeth the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he hath 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 standing of his ministers, and their clothing, and his stewards, and their clothing, an his burnt-offering that he offered up in the house of Jehovah, and there hath not been any 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 saith unto the king, 'True [is] the word that I heard in my land concerning thy matters and concerning 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 have given no credence to their words, till that I have come, and mine eyes see, and lo, there hath not been declared to me the half of the abundance of thy wisdom — thou hast added unto the report that I heard.
7 Blago tvojim ljudima i tvojim slugama koji stoje pred tobom i slušaju tvoju mudrost!
'O the happiness of thy men, and the happiness of thy servants — these — who are standing before thee continually, and hearing 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.”
Let Jehovah thy God be blessed who hath delighted in thee, to put thee on His throne for king for Jehovah thy God; in the love of thy God to Israel, to establish it to the age, He hath put thee over them for king, to do judgment 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 giveth to the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices in great abundance, and precious stone; and there hath not been any such spice as the queen of Sheba hath given to king Solomon.
10 Hiramove sluge, koje su sa Salomonovim slugama donosile zlata iz Ofira, dovezle su također sandalovine i dragulja.
And also, servants of Huram, and servants of Solomon, who brought in gold from Ophir, have brought in algum-trees and precious stone.
11 Kralj je napravio i citre i harfe za pjevače: nikad se prije nisu vidjele takve stvari u zemlji judejskoj.
And the king maketh the algum-trees staircases for the house of Jehovah, and for the house of the king, and harps and psalteries for singers; and there have been none seen like these 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 hath given to the queen of Sheba all her desire that she asked, apart from that which she had brought unto the king, and she turneth and goeth to her land, she and her servants.
13 Zlato što je dolazilo Salomonu svake godine bilo je teško šest stotina šezdeset i šest zlatnih talenata,
And the weight of the gold that is coming to Solomon in one year is 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.
apart from [what] the tourists, and the merchants, are bringing in; and all the kings of Arabia, and the governors of the land, are bringing in 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 maketh two hundred targets of alloyed gold, six hundred [shekels] of alloyed gold he causeth to go up on the 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 hundred shields of alloyed gold, three hundred [shekels] of gold he causeth to go up on the one shield, and the king putteth them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
17 Kralj je napravio i veliko prijestolje od bjelokosti i obložio ga čistim zlatom.
And the king maketh a great throne of ivory, and overlayeth 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 six steps [are] to the throne, and a footstool of gold, to the throne they are fastened, and hands [are] on this [side] and on that on the place of the sitting, and two lions are standing near the hands,
19 Dvanaest je lavova stajalo s obiju strana onih šest stepenica. Takvo što nije bilo izrađeno ni u jednom kraljevstvu.
and twelve lions are standing there on the six steps on this [side], and on that: it hath not been made so for 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 [are] of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon [are] of refined gold — silver is not reckoned in the days of Solomon for anything;
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 ships of the king are going to Tarshish, with servants of Huram: once in three years come do the ships of Tarshish bearing gold, and silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks.
22 Tako je kralj Salomon natkrilio sve zemaljske kraljeve bogatstvom i mudrošću.
And king Solomon becometh greater than any of 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 are seeking the presence of Solomon to hear his wisdom that God hath 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 are bringing in each his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, harness, and spices, horses, and mules, a 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 there are to Solomon four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, and he placed them in cities of the chariot, and with the king in Jerusalem.
26 Vladao je nad svim kraljevima od Rijeke do zemlje filistejske i do egipatske međe.
And he is ruling over all the kings from the River even unto the land of the Philistines, and unto 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 maketh the silver in Jerusalem as stones, and the cedars he hath made as sycamores, that [are] in the low country, for abundance,
28 Salomon je uvozio konje iz Musrija i iz svih zemalja.
and they are bringing out horses from Egypt to Solomon, and from all the 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 rest of the matters of Solomon, the first and the last, are they not written beside the matters of Nathan the prophet, and beside the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and with the visions of Iddo the seer concerning Jeroboam son of Nebat?
30 Salomon je vladao u Jeruzalemu nad svim Izraelom četrdeset godina.
And Solomon reigneth 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 lieth with his fathers, and they bury him in the city of David his father, and reign doth Rehoboam his son in his stead.
