1 Kings 10
1 The queen [who ruled the] Sheba [area] heard that Yahweh had caused Solomon to become famous, so she traveled to Jerusalem to ask him questions that were difficult [to answer].
A carica Savska èu glas o Solomunu i o imenu Gospodnjem, i doðe da ga iskuša zagonetkama.
2 She came with a large group of wealthy/influential people, and she brought camels that were loaded with spices, and valuable gems, and a lot of gold. When she met Solomon, she asked him questions about all the topics/things in which she was interested.
I doðe u Jerusalim sa silnom pratnjom, s kamilama koje nošahu mirisa i zlata vrlo mnogo i dragoga kamenja; i došavši k Solomunu govori s njim o svemu što joj bješe u srcu.
3 Solomon answered all her questions. He explained everything that she asked about, even things that were very difficult.
I Solomun joj odgovori na sve rijeèi njezine; ne bješe od cara sakriveno ništa da joj ne bi odgovorio.
4 The queen realized that Solomon was very wise. She saw his palace;
A kad carica Savska vidje svu mudrost Solomunovu i dom koji bješe sazidao,
5 she saw the food that was served on his table [every day]; she saw where his officials lived (OR, how his officials were seated at the table), their uniforms, the servants who served the food and wine, and the sacrifices that he took to the temple to be offered. She was extremely amazed.
I jela na stolu njegovu i stanove sluga njegovijeh i dvorbu dvorana njegovijeh i odijelo njihovo, i peharnike njegove i žrtve njegove paljenice koje prinošaše u domu Gospodnjem, ona doðe izvan sebe;
6 She said to King Solomon, “Everything that I heard in my own country about you and about how wise you are is true!
Pa reèe caru: istina je što sam èula u svojoj zemlji o stvarima tvojim i o mudrosti tvojoj.
7 But I did not believe it was true until I came here and saw it myself. But really, what they told me is only half [of what they could have told me about you]. You are extremely wise and rich, more than what people told me.
Ali ne htjeh vjerovati što se govoraše dokle ne doðem i vidim svojim oèima; a gle, ni pola mi nije kazano; tvoja mudrost i dobrota nadvišuje glas koji sam slušala.
8 Your wives are very fortunate! Your officials who are constantly standing in front of you and listening to the wise things that you say are also fortunate!
Blago ljudima tvojim, blago slugama tvojim, koji jednako stoje pred tobom i slušaju mudrost tvoju.
9 Praise Yahweh, your God, who has shown that he is pleased with you by causing you to become the king of Israel! God has always loved the Israeli people, and therefore he has appointed you to be their king, in order that you will rule them fairly and righteously.”
Da je blagosloven Gospod Bog tvoj kojemu si omilio, te te posadi na prijesto Izrailjev; jer Gospod ljubi Izrailja uvijek, i postavi te carem da sudiš i dijeliš pravicu.
10 Then the queen gave to the king [the things that she had brought. She gave him] almost five tons of gold and a large amount of spices and valuable gems. Never again did King Solomon receive more spices than the queen gave him at that time.
Potom dade caru sto i dvadeset talanata zlata i vrlo mnogo mirisa i dragoga kamenja: nigda više ne doðe toliko takih mirisa koliko dade carica Savska caru Solomunu.
11 In the ships that belonged to King Hiram, in which they had previously brought gold from Ophir, they also brought a large amount of juniper wood and gems/valuable stones.
I laðe Hiramove, koje donošahu zlato iz Ofira, donesoše iz Ofira vrlo mnogo drveta almugima i dragoga kamenja.
12 King Solomon told his workers to use that wood to make railings/supports in the temple of Yahweh and in the king’s palace and also to make harps and lyres for the (musicians/men who played musical instruments). That wood was the largest amount of (OR, the finest) wood that had ever been seen [in Israel]. And no one since then has ever seen so much wood of that kind.
I naèini car od toga drveta almugima zagradu u domu Gospodnjem i u domu carskom, i harfe i psaltire za pjevaèe; nigdje se više nije dovezlo takoga drveta almugima niti se vidjelo do današnjega dana.
13 King Solomon gave to the queen from Sheba everything that she wanted. He gave her those gifts in addition to the gifts that he always gave [to other rulers who visited him]. Then she and the people who came with her returned to her own land.
A car Solomun dade carici Savskoj što god zaželje i zaiska osim onoga što joj dade sam po moguæstvu cara Solomuna. Potom ona otide i vrati se u zemlju svoju sa slugama svojim.
14 Each year there was brought to Solomon a total of 25 tons of gold.
A zlata što dohoðaše Solomunu svake godine, bješe šest stotina i šezdeset i šest talanata,
15 That was in addition to [the taxes] paid to him by the merchants and traders, and the annual taxes paid by the kings of Arabia and by the governors of [the regions in] Israel.
Osim onoga što dohoðaše od trgovaca i onijeh koji prodavahu mirise i od svijeh careva Arapskih i upravitelja zemaljskih.
16 King Solomon’s workers [took this] gold and hammered it into thin sheets and covered 200 large shields with those thin sheets of gold; they put (almost 15 pounds/more than 6 kg.) of gold on each shield.
I car Solomun naèini dvjesta štitova od kovanoga zlata, šest stotina sikala zlata dajuæi na jedan štit;
17 His workers made 300 smaller shields. They covered each of them with (almost 4 pounds/1.5 kg.) of gold. Then the king put those shields in the Hall of the Forest of Lebanon.
I tri stotine malijeh štitova od kovanoga zlata, po tri mine zlata dajuæi na svaki štitiæ; i ostavi ih car u domu od šume Livanske.
18 His workers also made for him a large throne. [Part of it was] covered with (ivory [decorations made from)] tusks of elephants and [part of it was covered] with very fine gold.
I naèini car velik prijesto od slonove kosti, i obloži ga èistijem zlatom.
19 There were six steps in front of the throne. There was a statue of a lion on both sides of each step. So altogether there were twelve statues of lions. The back of the throne was rounded at the top. At each side of the throne there was an armrest, and alongside each armrest there was a small statue of a lion. No throne like that had ever existed in any other kingdom.
Šest basamaka bješe u prijestola, i vrh okrugao bješe ozad na prijestolu, i ruèice bjehu s obje strane sjedišta, i dva lava stajahu pokraj tijeh ruèica.
I dvanaest lavova stajahu na šest basamaka otud i odovud. Ne bi taki naèinjen ni u kojem carstvu.
21 All of Solomon’s cups were made of gold, and all the various dishes in the Hall of the Forest of Lebanon were made of gold. They did not make things from silver, because during the years that Solomon [ruled], silver was not considered to be valuable.
I svi sudovi iz kojih pijaše car Solomun bijahu zlatni, i svi sudovi u domu od šume Livanske bijahu od èistoga zlata; od srebra ne bješe ništa; srebro bješe ništa za vremena Solomunova.
22 The king had a (fleet/large number) of ships that sailed with the ships that King Hiram owned. Every three years the ships returned [from the places to which they had sailed], bringing gold, silver, ivory, monkeys, and baboons (OR, peacocks).
Jer car imaše laðe Tarsiske na moru s laðama Hiramovijem: jedanput u tri godine vraæahu se laðe Tarsiske donoseæi zlato i srebro, slonove kosti, majmune i paune.
23 King Solomon became richer and wiser than any other king.
Tako car Solomun bijaše veæi od svijeh careva zemaljskih bogatstvom i mudrošæu.
24 People from all over the world wanted to come and listen to the wise things that Solomon said, things that God had put into his mind.
I iz cijele zemlje tražahu da vide Solomuna, da èuju mudrost njegovu, koju mu dade Gospod u srce.
25 All the people who came to him brought presents: They brought things made from silver or gold, or robes, or weapons (OR, myrrh), or spices, or horses, or mules. The people continued to do this every year.
I donošahu mu svi dare, sudove srebrne i sudove zlatne, i haljine i oružje i mirise i konje i mazge, svake godine.
26 Solomon acquired 1,400 chariots and 12,000 men who rode [on the horses] (OR, [in the chariots]). Solomon put some of them in Jerusalem and some of them in other cities where he kept his chariots.
Tako nakupi Solomun kola i konjika, i imaše tisuæu i èetiri stotine kola i dvanaest tisuæa konjika, koje razredi po gradovima, gdje mu bijahu kola, i kod sebe u Jerusalimu.
27 During the years that Solomon was king, silver became as common in Jerusalem as stones; and [lumber from] cedar trees in the foothills of Judah was as plentiful as [lumber from] fig trees.
I uèini car, te u Jerusalimu bijaše srebra kao kamenja, i kedrovijeh drva kao divljih smokava koje rastu po polju, tako mnogo.
28 Solomon’s agents bought horses and supervised the men who brought them into Israel from the areas of Musri and Cilicia [that were famous for breeding horses].
I dovoðahu Solomunu konje iz Misira i svakojaki trg, jer trgovci carevi uzimahu trg razlièan za cijenu.
29 In Musri they bought chariots and horses; they paid 600 pieces of silver for each chariot and 150 pieces of silver for each horse. They brought them to Israel. Then they sold many of them to the kings of the Heth people-group and the kings of Syria.
I dolažahu kola iz Misira po šest stotina sikala srebra, a konj po sto i pedeset. I tako svi carevi Hetejski i carevi Sirski dobijahu konje preko njih.
