1 Kings 10
1 And, when, the queen of Sheba, heard the report of Solomon, as pertaining to the Name of Yahweh, she came to prove him, with abstruse questions.
Glas koji je u Jahvinu Imenu stekao Salomon dopro je do kraljice od Sabe; zato ona dođe da Salomona iskuša zagonetkama.
2 Yea she came to Jerusalem with a very heavily-laden train, of camels bearing spices, and gold in great abundance, and precious stones, —and, when she was come to Solomon, she spake unto him all that was near her heart;
Došla je u Jeruzalem s golemom pratnjom, s devama koje su nosile mirise, nebrojeno zlato i drago kamenje. Došavši k Salomonu, porazgovori se s njim o svemu što joj bijaše na srcu.
3 and Solomon answered her all her questions, —there was nothing hidden from the king, which he told her not.
Salomon joj odgovori na sva pitanja; nije mu bilo skriveno ništa da joj ne bi umio objasniti.
4 And, when the queen of Sheba had seen all the wisdom of Solomon, —and the house which he had built;
Kad kraljica od Sabe vidje mudrost Salomonovu, dvor koji bijaše sagradio,
5 and the food of his table, and the seated assembly of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers with their apparel, and his cupbearers, and his ascent by which he ascended unto the house of Yahweh, there was in her no more spirit.
jela na njegovu stolu, odaje njegove i dvorane, otmjenost njegove posluge i njihova odijela, njegove peharnike i paljenice koje je prinio u Domu Jahvinu, zastade joj dah.
6 And she said unto the king, True, was the word which I heard in mine own land, —concerning thine affairs, and concerning thy wisdom.
Tada reče kralju: “Istina je bila što sam u svojoj zemlji čula o tebi i o tvojoj mudrosti.
7 Howbeit I believed not the words, until that I had come and mine own eyes had seen, and lo! there had not been told me, the half, —thou dost exceed, in wisdom and prosperity, even the report which I heard!
Ali nisam htjela vjerovati što se pripovijeda dokle god nisam došla i vidjela na svoje oči; i doista, ni pola mi nije bilo rečeno: ti nadvisuješ u mudrosti i blagostanju slavu o kojoj sam čula.
8 How happy, are thy wives, how happy, are these thy servants, —who do stand before thee continually, who hear thy wisdom!
Blago tvojim ženama, blago ovim tvojim slugama koji su neprestano pred tobom i slušaju tvoju mudrost!
9 Yahweh thy God be blessed, who delighted in thee, to set thee upon the throne of Israel, —because Yahweh loveth Israel unto times age-abiding, therefore hath he appointed thee to be king, to execute justice and righteousness.
Neka je blagoslovljen Jahve, Bog tvoj, komu si tako omilio da te postavio na prijestolje Izraelaca; zato što Jahve uvijek ljubi Izraela, postavio te kraljem da činiš pravo i pravicu.”
10 And she gave unto the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices in great abundance, and precious stones, —there came in no more, such spice for abundance, as that which the queen of Sheba gave unto King Solomon.
Dade tada kralju stotinu i dvadeset zlatnih talenata, mnogo miomirisa i dragulja. Nikad više nije bilo takvih miomirisa kakve je kraljica od Sabe dala kralju Salomonu.
11 Moreover also, the fleet of Hiram, which brought gold from Ophir, brought in, from Ophir sandal-wood in great abundance, and precious stones.
Pa i Hiramovo brodovlje, koje je donosilo zlato iz Ofira, dovezlo je odande mnogo sandalovine i dragulja.
12 So the king made of the sandal-wood a footpath to the house of Yahweh, and to the house of the king, lyres also and harps, for the singers, —there hath neither come in such sandal-wood, nor been seen, unto this day.
Kralj je od sandalovine napravio ograde za Dom Jahvin i za kraljevski dvor, i citre i harfe za pjevače; nikada se više nije dovezlo toliko sandalova drveta niti se vidjelo do danas.
13 And, when, King Solomon, had given unto the queen of Sheba, all her desire, which she asked, besides that which he gave her as the bounty of King Solomon, she turned, and went to her own land, she and her servants.
Kralj Salomon dade kraljici od Sabe što je god zaželjela i zatražila, a povrh toga kraljevski je obdari. Potom ona krenu i sa slugama vrati se u svoju zemlju.
14 And it came to pass that, the weight of the gold which came in unto Solomon in one year, was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold;
Zlato što je dolazilo Salomonu svake godine bilo je teško šest stotina šezdeset i šest zlatnih talenata,
15 besides the tribute of the subjugated, and of the travelling merchants, —and of all the kings of Arabia, and the pashas of the land.
osim onoga što je dolazilo od trgovaca i prodavača-potukača i od svih arapskih kraljeva i upravitelja zemaljskih.
16 And King Solomon made two hundred shields, of beaten gold, six hundred [shekels] of gold, laid he upon one shield;
Kralj Salomon načini tri stotine velikih štitova od kovanog zlata; za svaki je štit upotrijebio šest stotina zlatnih šekela;
17 and three hundred bucklers, of beaten gold, one hundred and fifty shekels of gold, laid he upon one buckler, —and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
i načini trista štitića od kovanog zlata; za svaki je štitić utrošio tri zlatne mine. Pohranio je sve u kuću zvanu Libanonska šuma.
18 And the king made a great throne of ivory, —and overlaid it with gold from Uphaz.
Kralj je još napravio veliko prijestolje od bjelokosti i obložio ga čistim zlatom.
19 There were, six steps, to the throne, and there was, a circular top, to the throne, behind it, and there were supports on this side and on that, unto the place of the seat, —with two lions standing beside the supports;
Prijestolje je imalo šest stepenica, straga je na njemu bila teleća glava, a s obje strane sjedala bile su ručice, a kraj ručica stajala dva lava.
20 and, twelve lions, were standing there, upon the six steps, on this side and on that, —there had never been made the like, for any of the kingdoms.
Dvanaest je lavova stajalo s obje strane onih šest stepenica. Takvo što nije bilo izrađeno ni u jednom kraljevstvu.
21 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 was of silver, it was accounted in the days of Solomon, as nothing.
Sve posude iz kojih je pio kralj Salomon bijahu zlatne, i sve posuđe u kući zvanoj Libanonska šuma bijaše od suhoga zlata; ništa nije bilo od srebra, jer se ono smatralo bezvrijednim u Salomonovo vrijeme.
22 For, a fleet of Tarshish, had the king, at sea, with the fleet of Hiram, —once in three years, came in the fleet of Tarshish, bringing gold and silver, ivory and apes, and peacocks.
Kralj je imao taršiško brodovlje na moru zajedno s Hiramovim brodovljem, i svake treće godine dolazilo je taršiško brodovlje donoseći zlato, srebro i slonovu kost, majmune i paune.
23 So King Solomon became greater than any of the kings of the earth, —for riches and for wisdom.
Tako je kralj Salomon natkrilio sve zemaljske kraljeve bogatstvom i mudrošću.
24 And, all the earth, did seek the face of Solomon, —to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
Sav je svijet želio vidjeti Salomona i čuti mudrost koju mu je Bog ulio u srce.
25 And, they, did bring every man his present—vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and armour, and spices, horses and mules, —a rate of a year in a year.
Svatko mu je donosio dar: srebro i zlatno posuđe, haljine, oružje, miomirise, konje i mazge, iz godine u godinu.
26 And Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen, and so it was that he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, —for whom he found place in the chariot cities, and near the king, in Jerusalem.
Uz to je Salomon sakupio bojnih kola i konjanika; imao je tisuću i četiri stotine bojnih kola i dvanaest tisuća konja i rasporedio ih je po gradovima bojnih kola i kod kralja u Jeruzalemu.
27 And the king caused silver in Jerusalem to be as stones, —cedars also, caused he to be as the sycamores that are in the lowlands, for abundance.
Salomon je učinio da u Jeruzalemu bude srebra kao kamenja, a cedrova kao divljih smokava što rastu u Šefeli.
28 And the horses that Solomon had were, an export, out of Egypt, —and, a company of the merchants of the king, used to fetch, a drove, at a price,
Salomon je uvozio konje iz Musrija i Koe: kraljevi nabavljači uvozili su ih iz Koe za određenu svotu.
29 And a chariot came up and forth out of Egypt, for six hundred shekels of silver and a horse for a hundred and fifty, —and, so, for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, by their means, came they forth.
Kola se dovozila iz Egipta po šest stotina srebrnih šekela; a konj se plaćao po stotinu i pedeset. Tako ih preko nabavljača dobivahu svi kraljevi hetitski i aramejski.
