2 Chronicles 9
1 Also, when the queen of Sheba had heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to Jerusalem, with great riches and with camels which were carrying aromatics, and very much gold, and precious gems, so that she might test him with enigmas. And when she had approached Solomon, she spoke to him all that was in her heart.
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.
2 And Solomon explained for her all that she had proposed. And there was nothing that he did not make clear to her.
Salomon joj odgovori na sva pitanja; nije bilo Salomonu sakriveno ništa da joj ne bi umio objasniti.
3 And after she saw these things, specifically, the wisdom of Solomon, and the house which he had built,
Kad kraljica od Sabe vidje njegovu mudrost, dvor koji bijaše sagradio,
4 indeed also the foods of his table, and the habitations of the servants, and the duties of his ministers, and their apparel, and also his cupbearers and their garments, and the victims which he was immolating in the house of the Lord, there was no longer any spirit in her, due to astonishment.
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.
5 And she said to the king: “The word is true, which I had heard in my own land, about your virtues and wisdom.
Tada reče kralju: “Istina je bila što sam u svojoj zemlji čula o tebi i o tvojoj mudrosti.
6 I did not believe those who described it, until I had arrived and my eyes had seen, and I had proven that not even half of your wisdom had been described to me. You have exceeded your fame with your virtue.
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.
7 Blessed are your men, and blessed are your servants, who stand before you at all times and listen to your wisdom.
Blago tvojim ljudima i tvojim slugama koji stoje pred tobom i slušaju tvoju mudrost!
8 Blessed is the Lord your God, who willed to set you upon his throne as a king for the Lord your God. Since God loves Israel, he wishes to preserve them unto eternity. For this reason, he appointed you as king over them, so that you may accomplish judgment and justice.”
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.”
9 Then she gave to the king one hundred twenty talents of gold, and an exceedingly great abundance of aromatics, and very precious gems. Never were there such aromatics as those that the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.
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.
10 Then too, the servants of Hiram, with the servants of Solomon, brought gold from Ophir, and wood from thyine trees, and very precious gems.
Hiramove sluge, koje su sa Salomonovim slugama donosile zlata iz Ofira, dovezle su također sandalovine i dragulja.
11 And the king made, from this particular thyine wood, steps in the house of the Lord, and in the house of the king, and also harps and psalteries for the singing men. Never was there seen such wood in the land of Judah.
Kralj je napravio i citre i harfe za pjevače: nikad se prije nisu vidjele takve stvari u zemlji judejskoj.
12 Then king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all that she desired, and all that she requested, and much more than what she had brought to him. And returning, she went away to her own land with her servants.
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.
13 Now the weight of the gold, which was being brought to Solomon throughout each year, was six hundred sixty-six talents of gold,
Zlato što je dolazilo Salomonu svake godine bilo je teško šest stotina šezdeset i šest zlatnih talenata,
14 apart from the sum that the legates of various nations and the merchants were accustomed to bring, and apart from the gold and silver that all the kings of Arabia, and the princes of the lands, were bringing together for Solomon.
osim onoga što je dolazilo od trgovaca i putujućih prodavača. I svi su arapski kraljevi i zemaljski upravitelji Salomonu donosili zlato i srebro.
15 And so, king Solomon made two hundred gold spears, from six hundred gold pieces, the amount used for each spear,
Kralj Salomon načini dvjesta štitova od kovanoga zlata; za svaki je štit upotrijebio šest stotina šekela kovanoga zlata;
16 and also three hundred gold shields, from three hundred gold pieces, which covered each shield. And the king placed them in the armory, which was situated in a forest.
i načini trista štitića od kovanoga zlata; za svaki je štitić utrošio trista zlatnih šekela. Kralj ih je pohranio u kuću zvanu Libanonska šuma.
17 Also, the king made a great ivory throne, and he clothed it with the purest gold.
Kralj je napravio i veliko prijestolje od bjelokosti i obložio ga čistim zlatom.
18 And there were six steps, by which he would ascend to the throne, and a footstool of gold, and two arms, one on each side, and two lions standing beside the arms.
Prijestolje je imalo šest stepenica i zlatno podnožje sastavljeno s prijestoljem, i ručice s obiju strana prijestolja, a kraj ručica stajala dva lava.
19 Moreover, there were twelve additional little lions standing upon the six steps on both sides. There was no similar throne in all the kingdoms.
Dvanaest je lavova stajalo s obiju strana onih šest stepenica. Takvo što nije bilo izrađeno ni u jednom kraljevstvu.
20 Also, all the vessels for the feasts of the king were of gold, and the vessels of the forest house of Lebanon were from the purest gold. For silver in those days was considered as nothing.
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.
21 For indeed, the ships of the king went to Tarshish, with the servants of Hiram, once every three years. And they brought from there gold, and silver, and ivory, and primates, and peacocks.
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.
22 And so, Solomon was magnified above all the kings of the earth in wealth and glory.
Tako je kralj Salomon natkrilio sve zemaljske kraljeve bogatstvom i mudrošću.
23 And all the kings of the lands were desiring to see the face of Solomon, so that they might hear the wisdom that God had granted to his heart.
Svi su zemaljski kraljevi željeli vidjeti Salomona i čuti mudrost koju mu je Bog ulio u srce.
24 And they were bringing to him gifts, vessels of silver and of gold, and garments, and armor, and aromatics, and horses, and mules, throughout each year.
Svatko mu je donosio dar, srebrno i zlatno posuđe, haljine, oružje i miomirise, konje i mazge, iz godine u godinu.
25 Also, Solomon had forty thousand horses in the stables, and twelve thousand chariots and horsemen, and he appointed them to the cities of the chariots, and where the king was in Jerusalem.
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.
26 Now he also exercised authority over all the kings from the river Euphrates as far as the land of the Philistines, and as far as the borders of Egypt.
Vladao je nad svim kraljevima od Rijeke do zemlje filistejske i do egipatske međe.
27 And he brought forth so much silver that it was as plentiful in Jerusalem as stones. And cedar trees were as great in number as the sycamores that spring up in the plains.
Kralj je učinio da u Jeruzalemu bude srebra kao kamenja, a cedrova kao divljih smokava što rastu u Judejskoj nizini.
28 And horses were brought to him from Egypt and from every region.
Salomon je uvozio konje iz Musrija i iz svih zemalja.
29 Now the rest of the works of Solomon, the first and the last, have been written in the words of Nathan, the prophet, and in the books of Ahijah, the Shilonite, as well as in the vision of Iddo, the seer, against Jeroboam, the son of Nabat.
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.
30 And Solomon reigned in Jerusalem, over all of Israel, for forty years.
Salomon je vladao u Jeruzalemu nad svim Izraelom četrdeset godina.
31 And he slept with his fathers. And they buried him in the City of David. And his son, Rehoboam, reigned in his place.
Potom je počinuo kod otaca i sahranili su ga u gradu oca mu Davida, a na njegovo se mjesto zakraljio sin mu Roboam.
