2 Kroniška 9
1 Ko je kraljica iz Sabe slišala o Salomonovi slavi, je prišla v Jeruzalem, da Salomona preizkusi s težkimi vprašanji, z zelo veliko skupino in kamelami, ki so nosile dišave, zlata v obilju in dragocene kamne. Ko je prišla k Salomonu, se je z njim posvetovala o vsem, kar je bilo na njenem srcu.
The queen of Sheba heard how famous Solomon was, so she came to Jerusalem to test him with tough questions. She brought with her a very large entourage, with camels loaded with spices, large amounts of gold, and precious gemstones. She came to Solomon and asked him about everything she had on her mind.
2 Salomon ji je odgovoril [na] vsa njena vprašanja. Ničesar ni bilo skrito pred Salomonom, česar ji ne bi povedal.
Solomon answered all her questions. There was nothing he couldn't explain to her.
3 Ko je kraljica iz Sabe videla Salomonovo modrost in hišo, ki jo je zgradil,
When the queen of Sheba saw Solomon's wisdom, and the palace he had built,
4 hrano njegove mize, sedenje njegovih služabnikov, položaj njegovih služabnikov in njihovo obleko; tudi njegove dvorne točaje in njihovo obleko in njegov vzpon, s katerim je odšel gor v Gospodovo hišo, tam ni bilo več duha v njej.
the food on the table, how his officials lived, how his servants operated and how they were dressed, the clothes of the waiters, and the burnt offerings he presented at the Lord's Temple, she was so astonished she could hardly breathe.
5 Kralju je rekla: » To je bilo resnično poročilo, ki sem ga slišala v svoji lastni deželi o tvojih dejanjih in o tvoji modrosti.
She told the king, “It's true what I heard in my own country about your proverbs and your wisdom!
6 Vendar nisem verjela njihovim besedam, dokler nisem prišla in so moje oči to videle. Glej, ni mi bilo povedano niti o eni polovici veličine tvoje modrosti, kajti presegaš slavo, ki sem jo slišala.
But I didn't believe what they told me until I came and saw with my own eyes. In fact, I wasn't told the half of it—the extent of your wisdom far exceeds what I heard!
7 Srečni so tvoji možje in srečni so ti tvoji služabniki, ki nenehno stojijo pred teboj in poslušajo tvojo modrost.
How happy your people must be! How happy those who work for you, who stand here every day listening to your wisdom!
8 Blagoslovljen bodi Gospod, tvoj Bog, ki se je razveseljeval v tebi, da te postavi na svoj prestol, da bi bil kralj za Gospoda, tvojega Boga. Ker je tvoj Bog ljubil Izrael, da jih utrdi na veke, te je zato postavil [za] kralja nad njimi, da izvajaš sodbo in pravico.«
Praise the Lord your God who is so pleased with you, who placed you on his throne as king to rule on his behalf. Because of the love of your God for Israel he has made them secure forever, and he has made you king over them to do what is fair and right.”
9 Kralju je izročila sto dvajset talentov zlata, veliko obilje dišav in dragocene kamne. Niti ni bilo tam nobenih takšnih dišav, kot jih je kraljica iz Sabe izročila kralju Salomonu.
She presented the king with one hundred and twenty talents of gold, huge amounts of spices and precious stones. Never before had there been spices like those the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.
10 Hurámovi služabniki in Salomonovi služabniki, ki so pripeljali zlato iz Ofírja, so pripeljali tudi sandalovino in dragocene kamne.
(Hiram and of Solomon's men, who brought gold from Ophir, also brought algum wood and precious stones.
11 Kralj je iz sandalovine naredil terase h Gospodovi hiši in h kraljevi palači in harfe ter plunke za pevce. Ničesar takšnega ni bilo prej videti v Judovi deželi.
The king used the algum wood to make steps for the Temple and for the royal palace, and into lyres and harps for the musicians. Nothing like them had ever been seen before in the land of Judah.)
12 Kralj Salomon je kraljici iz Sabe izročil vse njene želje, karkoli je prosila, poleg tega, kar je prinesla h kralju. Tako se je obrnila in odšla proč k svoji lastni deželi, ona in njeni služabniki.
King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba all wanted, whatever she asked for. This was far more than she had brought the king. Then she and her attendants returned home to her own country.
13 Torej teža zlata, ki je prišla k Salomonu v enem letu, je bila šeststo šestinšestdeset talentov zlata,
The weight of gold that Solomon received each year was 666 talents,
14 poleg tega, kar so prinašali krošnjarji in trgovci. Vsi kralji Arabije in voditelji dežele so Salomonu prinašali zlato in srebro.
not including that received from traders and merchants. All the kings of Arabia and governors of the land also brought gold and silver to Solomon.
15 Kralj Salomon je naredil dvesto okroglih ščitov iz kovanega zlata. Šeststo šeklov iz kovanega zlata je šlo k enemu okroglemu ščitu.
King Solomon made two hundred shields of hammered gold. Each shield required six hundred shekels of hammered gold.
16 Tristo ščitov je naredil iz kovanega zlata. Tristo šeklov zlata je šlo za en ščit. Kralj jih je postavil v hiši libanonskega gozda.
He also made three hundred small shields of hammered gold. Each of these shields required three hundred gold coins. The king placed them in the Palace of the Forest of Lebanon.
17 Poleg tega je kralj naredil velik prestol iz slonovine in ga prevlekel s čistim zlatom.
The king also made a great throne of ivory, and covered it with pure gold.
18 K prestolu je bilo šest stopnic, s pručko iz zlata, ki so bile pritrjene k prestolu in opori [za roke] na vsaki strani prostora za sedenje in dva leva, stoječa pri oporah [za roke].
The throne had six steps, with a golden footstool attached. There were armrests on both sides of the seat, with lions standing beside the armrests.
19 Dvanajst levov je stalo tam na eni strani in na drugi, na šestih stopnicah. Ničesar podobnega ni bilo narejenega v nobenem kraljestvu.
Twelve lions stood on the six steps, one on opposite ends of each step. Nothing like this had ever been made for any kingdom.
20 Vse posode za pitje kralja Salomona so bile iz zlata in vse posode hiše libanonskega gozda so bile iz čistega zlata. Nobena ni bila iz srebra, le-to ni bilo nič cenjeno v Salomonovih dneh.
All of King Solomon's drinking cups were gold, and all the utensils of the Palace of the Forest of Lebanon were pure gold. No silver was used, because it was not valued in the days of Solomon.
21 Kajti kraljeve ladje so odplule v Taršíš s Hurámovimi služabniki. Enkrat na vsaka tri leta so prišle ladje iz Taršíša, ki so pripeljale zlato, srebro, slonovino, opice in pave.
The king had a fleet of ships from Tarshish crewed by Hiram's sailors. Once every three years the ships of Tarshish would arrive with a cargo of gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks.
22 Kralj Salomon je presegal vse zemeljske kralje v bogastvih in modrosti.
King Solomon was greater than any other king on earth in wealth and wisdom.
23 Vsi kralji zemlje so iskali Salomonovo prisotnost, da slišijo njegovo modrost, ki jo je Bog položil v njegovo srce.
All the kings of the earth wanted to meet Solomon to hear the wisdom that God had placed in his mind.
24 Prinašali so mu vsak človek svoje darilo, posode iz srebra, posode iz zlata, oblačila, vprege, dišave, konje in mule, mero leto za letom.
Year after year, every visitor would bring gifts—articles of silver and gold, clothes, weapons, spices, horses, and mules.
25 Salomon je imel štiri tisoč boksov za konje in bojne vozove in dvanajst tisoč konjenikov, ki jih je namestil v mestih za bojne vozove in s kraljem v Jeruzalemu.
Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen. He kept them in the chariot towns, and also with him in Jerusalem.
26 Kraljeval je nad vsemi kralji od reke celo do dežele Filistejcev in do meje Egipta.
He ruled over all the kings from the Euphrates River to the land of the Philistines, and to the border with Egypt.
27 Kralj je naredil srebra v Jeruzalemu kakor kamnov in cedrovih dreves je naredil [toliko] kakor egiptovskih smokev, ki jih je na nizkih ravnicah v obilju.
The king made silver as plentiful in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar wood as plentiful as sycamore-figs in the foothills.
28 K Salomonu so vodili konje iz Egipta in iz vseh dežel.
Solomon's horses were imported from Egypt and from many other lands.
29 Torej preostala izmed Salomonovih dejanj, prva in zadnja, mar niso zapisana v knjigi preroka Natána in v prerokovanju Šilčana Ahíja in v videnjih vidca Idója zoper Nebátovega sina Jerobeáma?
The rest of the acts of Solomon, from start to finish, are written in the Records of Nathan the Prophet, in the Prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the Visions of Iddo the Seer about Jeroboam, son of Nebat.
30 Salomon je v Jeruzalemu nad Izraelom kraljeval štirideset let.
Solomon ruled in Jerusalem over all of Israel for forty years.
31 Salomon je zaspal s svojimi očeti in je bil pokopan v mestu svojega očeta Davida in namesto njega je zakraljeval njegov sin Rehabám.
Then Solomon died and was buried in the city of his father David. His son Rehoboam took over as king.
