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].
А царица савска чу глас о Соломуну и о имену Господњем, и дође да га искуша загонеткама.
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.
И дође у Јерусалим са силном пратњом, с камилама које ношаху мириса и злата врло много и драгог камења; и дошавши к Соломуну говори с њим о свему што јој беше у срцу.
3 Solomon answered all her questions. He explained everything that she asked about, even things that were very difficult.
И Соломун јој одговори на све речи њене; не беше од цара сакривено ништа да јој не би одговорио.
4 The queen realized that Solomon was very wise. She saw his palace;
А кад царица савска виде сву мудрост Соломунову и дом који беше сазидао,
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.
И јела на столу његовом и станове слуга његових и дворбу дворана његових и одело њихово, и пехарнике његове и жртве његове паљенице које приношаше у дому Господњем, она дође изван себе;
6 She said to King Solomon, “Everything that I heard in my own country about you and about how wise you are is true!
Па рече цару: Истина је шта сам чула у својој земљи о стварима твојим и о мудрости твојој.
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.
Али не хтех веровати шта се говораше докле не дође и видим својим очима; а гле, ни пола ми није казано; твоја мудрост и доброта надвишује глас који сам слушала.
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!
Благо људима твојим, благо слугама твојим, који једнако стоје пред тобом и слушају мудрост твоју.
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.”
Да је благословен Господ Бог твој коме си омилео, те те посади на престо Израиљев; јер Господ љуби Израиља увек, и постави те царем да судиш и делиш правицу.
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.
Потом даде цару сто и двадесет таланата злата и врло много мириса и драгог камења: никада више не дође толико таквих мириса колико даде царица савска цару Соломуну.
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.
И лађе Хирамове, које доношаху злато из Офира, донесоше из Офира врло много дрвета алмугима и драгог камења.
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.
И начини цар од тог дрвета алмугима заграду у дому Господњем и у дому царском и харфе и псалтире за певаче; никада се више није довезло таквог дрвета алмугима нити се видело до данашњег дана.
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.
А цар Соломун даде царици савској шта год зажеле и заиска осим оног шта јој даде сам по могућству цара Соломуна. По том она отиде и врати се у земљу своју са слугама својим.
14 Each year there was brought to Solomon a total of 25 tons of gold.
А злата што дохођаше Соломуну сваке године, беше шест стотина и шездесет и шест таланата,
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.
Осим оног што дохођаше од трговаца и оних који продаваху мирисе и од свих царева арапских и управитеља земаљских.
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.
И цар Соломун начини двеста штитова од кованог злата, шест стотина сикала злата дајући на један штит:
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.
И три стотине малих штитова од кованог злата, по три мине злата дајући на сваки штитић; и остави их цар у дому од шуме ливанске.
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.
И начини цар велик престо од слонове кости, и обложи га чистим златом.
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.
Шест басамака беше у престола, и врх округао беше озад на престолу и ручице беху с обе стране седишта, и два лава стајаху покрај тих ручица.
И дванаест лавова стајаху на шест басамака отуд и одовуд. Не би такав начињен ни у коме царству.
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.
И сви судови из којих пијаше цар Соломун беху златни, и сви судови у дому од шуме ливанске беху од чистог злата; од сребра не беше ништа; сребро беше ништа за времена Соломуновог.
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).
Јер цар имаше лађе тарсиске на мору с лађама Хирамовим: један пут у три године враћаху се лађе тарсиске доносећи злато и сребро, слонове кости, мајмуне и пауне.
23 King Solomon became richer and wiser than any other king.
Тако цар Соломун беше већи од свих царева земаљских богатством и мудрошћу.
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.
И из целе земље тражаху да виде Соломуна, да чују мудрост његову, коју му даде Господ у срце.
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.
И доношаху му сви даре, судове сребрне и судове златне, и хаљине и оружје и мирисе и коње и мазге, сваке године.
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.
Тако накупи Соломун кола и коњика, и имаше хиљаду и четири стотине кола и дванаест хиљада коњика, које разреди по градовима, где му беху кола, и код себе у Јерусалиму.
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.
И учини цар, те у Јерусалиму беше сребра као камења, и кедрових дрва као дивљих смокава које расту по пољу, тако много.
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].
И довођаху Соломуну коње из Мисира и свакојаки трг, јер трговци цареви узимаху трг различан за цену.
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.
И долажаху кола из Мисира по шест стотина сикала сребра, а коњ по сто и педесет. И тако сви цареви хетејски и цареви сирски добијаху коње преко њих.
