Geber, sin Urijin, u zemlji Gileadu, zemlji Sihona, kralja amorejskoga, i Oga, kralja bašanskoga. Povrh toga bio je još jedan namjesnik u zemlji.
20 There were as many people in Judah and Israel as there are grains of sand [HYP] on the seashore. They [had plenty to] eat and drink and they were happy.
Juda i Izrael bili su mnogobrojni, bijaše ih kao pijeska na obali morskoj. Jeli su i pili i bili sretni.
21 Solomon’s kingdom extended from the Euphrates [River in the northeast] to the Philistia area [in the west] and to the border of Egypt [in the south]. The [conquered] people in those areas paid taxes and were under Solomon’s control for the rest of his life.
Salomon je proširio svoju vlast nad svim kraljevstvima od Rijeke sve do zemlje filistejske i do međe egipatske. Ona su donosila svoj danak i služila Salomonu sve dane njegova života.
22 [To feed the people in his palace and his guests] Solomon needed people to bring to him every day 150 bushels of fine flour and 300 bushels of wheat,
Svakoga je dana trebalo Salomonu za hranu: trideset kora finoga brašna i šezdeset kora običnog brašna,
23 ten cattle that were kept in stalls/barns, 20 cattle that were kept in pastures, 100 sheep, and (deer and gazelles and roebucks/three kinds of deer), and poultry.
deset ugojenih volova, dvadeset volova s paše, stotinu ovaca, osim jelena, srna, divokoza i ugojene peradi.
24 Solomon ruled over all the area west of the Euphrates [River], from Tiphsah [city in the northeast] to Gaza [city in the southwest]. He ruled over all the kings in that area. And there was peace between his [government] and the [governments of] nearby countries.
Jer on je vladao nad svime onkraj Rijeke - od Tafse do Gaze, nad svim kraljevima s onu stranu Eufrata - i imao je mir po svim granicama naokolo.
25 All during the years that Solomon ruled, the people of Judah and Israel lived safely. Each family had its own grapevines and fig trees.
Juda i sav Izrael živjeli su bez straha, svaki pod svojom lozom i pod svojom smokvom, od Dana sve do Beer Šebe, svega vijeka Salomonova.
26 Solomon had 4,000 stalls for the horses [that pulled] his chariots and 12,000 men who rode on horses (OR, in the chariots).
Salomon je imao četrdeset tisuća konja za vuču i dvanaest tisuća za jahanje.
27 His twelve governors supplied the food that King Solomon needed for himself and for all those who ate in the palace. Each governor supplied food for one month each year. They provided everything [LIT] that Solomon required.
Ti su se namjesnici brinuli o opskrbi kralja Salomona i sviju koji su imali dijela za kraljevim stolom, svaki po mjesec dana; i nisu dopuštali da ičega ponestane.
28 They also brought [stalks of] barley and wheat for the fast horses [that pulled the chariots] and for the [other work] horses. They brought it to the places where the horses were kept.
I ječam i slamu za konje i tegleću marvu donosili su na mjesto gdje se zadržavao, svaki kako bi ga zapalo.
29 God enabled Solomon to be extremely wise and to have great insight/understanding. He understood about more things than the number of grains of sand on the seashore [HYP].
Jahve je dao Salomonu mudrost i izuzetnu razboritost i srce široko kao pijesak na obali morskoj.
30 He was wiser than all the wise men in Arabia and Mesopotamia and all the wise men in Egypt.
Mudrost je Salomonova bila veća od mudrosti svih sinova Istoka i od sve mudrosti Egipta.
31 Ethan from Ezrah and Heman and Calcol and Darda and the sons of Mahol were [considered to be] very wise, but Solomon was wiser than all of them. People in all the nearby countries heard about Solomon.
Bio je mudriji od svih ljudi, od Etana Ezrahanina, od Hemana, Kalkola i Darde, sinova Maholovih; njegovo se ime pronosilo među svim narodima unaokolo.
32 He composed/wrote 3,000 (proverbs/wise sayings) and more than 1,000 songs.
Izrekao je tri tisuće mudrih izreka, a njegovih je pjesama bilo tisuću i pet.
33 He talked about various kinds of plants, from the [huge] cedar trees in Lebanon to the [tiny] hyssop plants that grow in cracks in walls. He also talked about wild animals and birds and reptiles and fish.
Zborio je o drveću: od cedra što je na Libanonu pa do izopa što klija na zidu; raspravljao je o životinjama, o pticama, o gmazovima i o ribama.
34 People came from all over the world to hear the wise things that Solomon said. Many kings sent men to listen to him [and then return and tell them what Solomon said].
Dolazili su od sviju naroda da čuju mudrost Salomonovu, od svih zemaljskih kraljeva koji su čuli glas o njegovoj mudrosti.
