1 Královská 10
1 Uslyševši pak královna z Sáby pověst o Šalomounovi a jménu Hospodinovu, přijela, aby zkusila jeho v pohádkách.
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].
2 A přijevši do Jeruzaléma s počtem velmi velikým, s velbloudy nesoucími vonné věci a zlata velmi mnoho i kamení drahého, přišla k Šalomounovi, a mluvila s ním o všecko, což měla v srdci svém.
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.
3 Jížto odpověděl Šalomoun na všecka slova její. Nebylo nic skrytého před králem, nač by jí neodpověděl.
Solomon answered all her questions. He explained everything that she asked about, even things that were very difficult.
4 Protož uzřevši královna z Sáby všecku moudrost Šalomounovu i dům, kterýž byl ustavěl,
The queen realized that Solomon was very wise. She saw his palace;
5 Též pokrmy stolu jeho, i sedání a stávání služebníků přisluhujících jemu, i roucha jejich, šeňkýře také jeho, i stupně, kterýmiž vstupoval k domu Hospodinovu, zděsila se náramně.
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.
6 A řekla králi: Praváť jest řeč, kterouž jsem slyšela v zemi své, o věcech tvých a o moudrosti tvé,
She said to King Solomon, “Everything that I heard in my own country about you and about how wise you are is true!
7 Ješto jsem nechtěla věřiti řečem, až jsem přijela a uzřela očima svýma. Ale aj, není mi praveno ani polovice; převýšil jsi moudrostí a dobrotou pověst tu, kterouž jsem slyšela.
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.
8 Blahoslavení muži tvoji, a blahoslavení služebníci tvoji, kteříž stojí před tebou vždycky, a slyší moudrost tvou.
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!
9 Budiž Hospodin Bůh tvůj požehnaný, kterýž tě sobě oblíbil, aby tě posadil na stolici Izraelské, proto že miluje Hospodin Izraele na věky, a ustanovil tě králem, abys činil soud a spravedlnost.
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.”
10 I dala králi sto a dvadceti centnéřů zlata, a vonných věcí velmi mnoho, i kamení drahého, aniž bylo kdy více přivezeno takových vonných věcí tak mnoho, jako darovala královna z Sáby králi Šalomounovi.
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.
11 (Lodí také Chíramova, kteráž přinášela zlato z Ofir, přivezla z Ofir dříví almugim velmi mnoho i kamení drahého.
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.
12 I nadělal král z toho dříví almugim zábradel k domu Hospodinovu, i k domu královu, též harf a louten zpěvákům, aniž jest kdy přivezeno takového dříví almugim, ani vidíno do dnešního dne.)
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.
13 Král také Šalomoun dal královně z Sáby vedlé vší vůle její, čehož požádala, nad to, což jí Šalomoun daroval darem královským. Potom se navrátila do země své ona i služebníci její.
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.
14 Byla pak váha toho zlata, kteréž přicházelo Šalomounovi na každý rok, šest set šedesáte šest centnéřů zlata,
Each year there was brought to Solomon a total of 25 tons of gold.
15 Kromě toho, co přicházelo od kupců a prodavačů vonných věcí, a ode všech králů Arabských i vývod země.
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.
16 A protož nadělal král Šalomoun dvě stě štítů z zlata taženého, šest set zlatých dával na každý štít,
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.
17 A tři sta pavéz z taženého zlata, tři libry zlata dal na každou pavézu. I složil je král v domě lesu Libánského.
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.
18 Udělal také král stolici z kostí slonových velikou, a obložil ji zlatem ryzím.
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.
19 Šest stupňů bylo k té stolici, a vrch okrouhlý byl na stolici od zadní strany její, a zpolehadla rukám s obou stran té stolice, a dva lvové stáli u zpolehadel.
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.
20 A dvanácte lvů stálo tu na šesti stupních s obou stran. Nebylo nic takového učiněno v žádných královstvích.
21 Nadto všecky nádoby krále Šalomouna, jichž ku pití užívali, byly zlaté, a všecky nádoby v domě lesu Libánského byly z zlata nejčistšího. Nic nebylo od stříbra, aniž ho sobě co vážili ve dnech Šalomounových.
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.
22 Nebo měl král lodí mořské s lodími krále Chírama. Jednou ve třech letech vracely se ty lodí mořské, přinášející zlato a stříbro, kosti slonové, a opice a pávy.
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).
23 I zveleben jest král Šalomoun nad všecky krále zemské v bohatství a v moudrosti.
King Solomon became richer and wiser than any other king.
24 Pročež všickni obyvatelé země žádostivi byli viděti tvář Šalomounovu, aby slyšeli moudrost jeho, kterouž složil Bůh v srdci jeho.
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.
25 A přinášeli jeden každý dary své, nádoby stříbrné a nádoby zlaté, roucha a zbroj, i vonné věci, koně a mezky, a to každého roku,
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.
26 Tak že nashromáždil Šalomoun vozů a jezdců, a měl tisíc a čtyři sta vozů a dvanácte tisíc jezdců, kteréž rozsadil v městech vozů, a při králi v Jeruzalémě.
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.
27 I složil král stříbra v Jeruzalémě jako kamení, a cedrového dříví jako planého fíkoví, kteréž roste v údolí u velikém množství.
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.
28 Přivodili také Šalomounovi koně z Egypta a koupě rozličné; nebo kupci královští brávali koupě rozličné za slušnou mzdu,
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].
29 A vodívali spřež vozníků z Egypta za šest set lotů stříbra, koně pak jednoho za sto a padesáte, a tak všechněm králům Hetejským a králům Syrským oni dodávali.
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.
