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.
And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to try Solomon with hard questions at Jerusalem, with a very great company, and camels that bore spices, and gold in abundance, and precious stones: and when she had come to Solomon, she talked with him of all that was in her heart.
2 Salomon ji je odgovoril [na] vsa njena vprašanja. Ničesar ni bilo skrito pred Salomonom, česar ji ne bi povedal.
And Solomon answered her all her questions: and there was nothing hid from Solomon which he told her not.
3 Ko je kraljica iz Sabe videla Salomonovo modrost in hišo, ki jo je zgradil,
And when the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that 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.
And the food of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel; his cupbearers also, and their apparel; and his ascent by which he went up into the house of the LORD; there was no more spirit in her.
5 Kralju je rekla: » To je bilo resnično poročilo, ki sem ga slišala v svoji lastni deželi o tvojih dejanjih in o tvoji modrosti.
And she said to the king, It was a true report which I heard in my own land of thy acts, and of thy 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.
Yet I believed not their words, until I came, and my eyes had seen it: and, behold, the one half of the greatness of thy wisdom was not told to me: for thou exceedest the fame that I heard.
7 Srečni so tvoji možje in srečni so ti tvoji služabniki, ki nenehno stojijo pred teboj in poslušajo tvojo modrost.
Happy are thy men, and happy are these thy servants, who stand continually before thee, and hear thy 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.«
Blessed be the LORD thy God, who delighted in thee to set thee on his throne, to be king for the LORD thy God: because thy God loved Israel, to establish them for ever, therefore he made thee king over them, to do judgment and justice.
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.
And she gave the king an hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices great abundance, and precious stones: neither was there any such spice as 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.
And the servants also of Huram, and the servants of Solomon, who brought gold from Ophir, brought algum trees 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.
And the king made of the algum trees terraces to the house of the LORD, and to the king’s palace, and harps and psalteries for singers: and there were none such 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.
And king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she asked, besides that which she had brought to the king. So she turned, and went away to her own land, she and her servants.
13 Torej teža zlata, ki je prišla k Salomonu v enem letu, je bila šeststo šestinšestdeset talentov zlata,
Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty and six talents of gold;
14 poleg tega, kar so prinašali krošnjarji in trgovci. Vsi kralji Arabije in voditelji dežele so Salomonu prinašali zlato in srebro.
Besides that which traders and merchants brought. And all the kings of Arabia and governors of the country 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.
And king Solomon made two hundred shields of beaten gold: six hundred shekels of beaten gold went to one shield.
16 Tristo ščitov je naredil iz kovanega zlata. Tristo šeklov zlata je šlo za en ščit. Kralj jih je postavil v hiši libanonskega gozda.
And three hundred shields made he of beaten gold: three hundred shekels of gold went to one shield. And the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
17 Poleg tega je kralj naredil velik prestol iz slonovine in ga prevlekel s čistim zlatom.
Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid 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].
And there were six steps to the throne, with a footstool of gold, which were fastened to the throne, and stays on each side of the sitting place, and two lions standing by the stays:
19 Dvanajst levov je stalo tam na eni strani in na drugi, na šestih stopnicah. Ničesar podobnega ni bilo narejenega v nobenem kraljestvu.
And twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other upon the six steps. There was not the like made in 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.
And all the drinking vessels of king Solomon were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold: none were of silver; it was not considered as any thing 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.
For the king’s ships went to Tarshish with the servants of Huram: once every three years came the ships of Tarshish bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
22 Kralj Salomon je presegal vse zemeljske kralje v bogastvih in modrosti.
And king Solomon excelled all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.
23 Vsi kralji zemlje so iskali Salomonovo prisotnost, da slišijo njegovo modrost, ki jo je Bog položil v njegovo srce.
And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, that God had put in his heart.
24 Prinašali so mu vsak človek svoje darilo, posode iz srebra, posode iz zlata, oblačila, vprege, dišave, konje in mule, mero leto za letom.
And they brought every man his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and raiment, armour, and spices, horses, and mules, at a certain rate year by year.
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.
And Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen; whom he placed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
26 Kraljeval je nad vsemi kralji od reke celo do dežele Filistejcev in do meje Egipta.
And he reigned over all the kings from the river even to the land of the Philistines, and to the border of 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.
And the king made silver in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar trees he made as the sycamore trees that are in the low plains in abundance.
28 K Salomonu so vodili konje iz Egipta in iz vseh dežel.
And they brought to Solomon horses from Egypt, and from all 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?
Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last, are they not written in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Iddo the seer concerning Jeroboam the son of Nebat?
30 Salomon je v Jeruzalemu nad Izraelom kraljeval štirideset let.
And Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel 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.
And Solomon slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead.
