1 Kraljevima 10
1 A carica Savska èu glas o Solomunu i o imenu Gospodnjem, i doðe da ga iskuša zagonetkama.
Then, too, the queen of Sheba, having heard of the fame of Solomon in the name of the Lord, arrived to test him with enigmas.
2 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.
And entering into Jerusalem with a great retinue, and with riches, and with camels carrying aromatics, and with an exceedingly great quantity of gold and precious stones, she went to king Solomon. And she spoke to him all that she held in her heart.
3 I Solomun joj odgovori na sve rijeèi njezine; ne bješe od cara sakriveno ništa da joj ne bi odgovorio.
And Solomon taught her, in all the words that she had proposed to him. There was not any word which was able to be hidden from the king, or which he did not answer for her.
4 A kad carica Savska vidje svu mudrost Solomunovu i dom koji bješe sazidao,
Then, when the queen of Sheba saw all the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had built,
5 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;
and the food of his table, and the dwelling places of his servants, and the rows of his ministers, and their apparel, and the cupbearers, and the holocausts that he was offering in the house of the Lord, she had no longer any spirit in her.
6 Pa reèe caru: istina je što sam èula u svojoj zemlji o stvarima tvojim i o mudrosti tvojoj.
And she said to the king: “The word is true, which I have heard in my own land,
7 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.
about your words and your wisdom. But I did not believe those who explained it to me, until I went myself and saw it with my own eyes. And I have discovered that the half of it has not been told to me: your wisdom and works are greater than the report that I have heard.
8 Blago ljudima tvojim, blago slugama tvojim, koji jednako stoje pred tobom i slušaju mudrost tvoju.
Blessed are your men, and blessed are your servants, who stand before you always, and who hear your wisdom.
9 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.
Blessed is the Lord your God, whom you have greatly pleased, and who has placed you upon the throne of Israel. For the Lord loves Israel forever, and he has appointed you as king, so that you may accomplish judgment and justice.”
10 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.
Then she gave the king one hundred twenty talents of gold, and an exceedingly great amount of aromatics and precious stones. No greater quantity of aromatics was ever again brought forth as these, which the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.
11 I laðe Hiramove, koje donošahu zlato iz Ofira, donesoše iz Ofira vrlo mnogo drveta almugima i dragoga kamenja.
Then, too, the navy of Hiram, which carried gold from Ophir, brought an exceedingly great quantity of thyine wood and precious stones from Ophir.
12 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.
And the king made, from the thyine wood, the posts of the house of the Lord, and of the house of the king, and citharas and lyres for the musicians. No thyine trees of this kind were ever again brought forth or seen, even to the present day.
13 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.
Then king Solomon gave the queen of Sheba all that she desired and requested of him, aside from what he himself had offered to her from his royal bounty. And she returned and went away to her own land, with her servants.
14 A zlata što dohoðaše Solomunu svake godine, bješe šest stotina i šezdeset i šest talanata,
Now the weight of the gold that was brought to Solomon each year was six hundred sixty-six talents of gold,
15 Osim onoga što dohoðaše od trgovaca i onijeh koji prodavahu mirise i od svijeh careva Arapskih i upravitelja zemaljskih.
aside from what was brought to him by the men who were over the tributes, and by the merchants, and by those selling every kind of small item, and by all the kings of Arabia, and by the rulers of the land.
16 I car Solomun naèini dvjesta štitova od kovanoga zlata, šest stotina sikala zlata dajuæi na jedan štit;
Also, king Solomon made two hundred large shields from the purest gold. He dispensed six hundred shekels of gold for the layers of one shield.
17 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.
And for the three hundred crescent-shaped shields of tested gold, there were three hundred minas of gold covering one shield. And the king placed these in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
18 I naèini car velik prijesto od slonove kosti, i obloži ga èistijem zlatom.
Also, king Solomon made a great throne from ivory. And he clothed it with a great quantity of red gold.
19 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.
The throne had six steps, and the summit of the throne was rounded in the back section. And there were two hands, on one side and the other, holding the seat. And two lions were standing beside each hand,
20 I dvanaest lavova stajahu na šest basamaka otud i odovud. Ne bi taki naèinjen ni u kojem carstvu.
with twelve little lions standing upon the six steps, on one side and the other. No similar work has been made, ever in any kingdom.
21 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.
Moreover, all the vessels from which king Solomon would drink were of gold. And all the items in the house of the forest of Lebanon were of the purest gold. There was no silver, nor was any accounting made of silver in the days of Solomon.
22 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.
For the navy of the king, once every three years, went with the navy of Hiram by sea to Tarshish, bringing from there gold, and silver, and elephant tusks, and primates, and peacocks.
23 Tako car Solomun bijaše veæi od svijeh careva zemaljskih bogatstvom i mudrošæu.
And so, king Solomon was magnified above all the kings of the earth in riches and in wisdom.
24 I iz cijele zemlje tražahu da vide Solomuna, da èuju mudrost njegovu, koju mu dade Gospod u srce.
And all the earth desired to see the face of Solomon, so as to hear his wisdom, which God had granted to his heart.
25 I donošahu mu svi dare, sudove srebrne i sudove zlatne, i haljine i oružje i mirise i konje i mazge, svake godine.
And each one brought him gifts, vessels of silver and of gold, clothing and weapons of war, as well as aromatics, and horses, and mules, throughout each year.
26 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.
And Solomon gathered together the chariots and horsemen. And he had one thousand four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen. And he placed them in the walled cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
27 I uèini car, te u Jerusalimu bijaše srebra kao kamenja, i kedrovijeh drva kao divljih smokava koje rastu po polju, tako mnogo.
And he caused silver to be as abundant in Jerusalem as stones, and he supplied a multitude of cedars like the sycamores that grow in the plains.
28 I dovoðahu Solomunu konje iz Misira i svakojaki trg, jer trgovci carevi uzimahu trg razlièan za cijenu.
And horses were brought for Solomon from Egypt and from Kue. For the merchants of the king were buying these from Kue. And they paid out the established price.
29 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.
Now a four-horse chariot would be sent from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for one hundred and fifty. And in this manner, all the kings of the Hittites and of Syria were selling horses.
