< Kings III 10 >

1 And the queen of Saba heard of the name of Solomon, and the name of the Lord, and she came to try him with riddles.
Ko je kraljica iz Sabe slišala o Salomonovem slovesu glede Gospodovega imena, je prišla, da ga preizkusi s težkimi vprašanji.
2 And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train; and [there came] camels bearing spices, and very much gold, and precious stones: and she came in to Solomon, and told him all that was in her heart.
Prišla je v Jeruzalem z zelo velikim spremstvom, s kamelami, ki so nosile dišave, zelo veliko zlata in [z] dragocenimi kamni. Ko je prišla k Salomonu, se je z njim posvetovala o vsem, kar je bilo na njenem srcu.
3 And Solomon answered all her questions: and there was not a question overlooked by the king which he did not answer her.
Salomon ji je povedal [odgovore na] vsa njena vprašanja. Ničesar ni bilo skritega pred kraljem, kar ji ne bi povedal.
4 And the queen of Saba saw all the wisdom of Solomon, and the house which he built,
Ko je kraljica iz Sabe videla vso Salomonovo modrost in hišo, ki jo je zgradil,
5 and the provision of Solomon and the sitting of his attendants, and the standing of his servants, and his raiment, and his cupbearers, and his whole burnt offering which he offered in the house of the Lord, and she was utterly amazed.
hrano njegove mize, sedenje njegovih služabnikov in položaj njegovih strežnikov, njihovo obleko, njegove dvorne točaje in njegovo vzpenjanje, s katerim je odšel gor h Gospodovi hiši, v njej ni bilo več duha.
6 And she said to king Solomon, [It was] a true report which I heard in my land of your words and your wisdom.
Rekla je kralju: »Poročilo, ki sem ga slišala v svoji lastni deželi, o tvojih dejanjih in o tvoji modrosti, je bilo resnično.
7 But I believed not them that told me, until I came and my eyes saw: and, behold, the words as they reported to me are not the half: you have exceeded in goodness all the report which I heard in my land.
Vendar nisem verjela besedam, dokler nisem prišla in so moje oči to videle. Glej, niti polovice mi niso povedali. Tvoja modrost in uspevanje presega sloves, ki sem ga slišala.
8 Blessed [are] your wives, blessed [are] these your servants who stand before you continually, who hear all your wisdom.
Srečni so tvoji možje, srečni so ti tvoji služabniki, ki nenehno stojijo pred teboj in ki slišijo tvojo modrost.
9 Blessed be the Lord your God, who has taken pleasure in you, to set you upon the throne of Israel, because the Lord loved Israel to establish [him] for ever; and he has made you king over them, to execute judgement with justice, and in their causes.
Blagoslovljen bodi Gospod, tvoj Bog, ki se je razveseljeval v tebi, da te je posadil na Izraelov prestol. Ker je Gospod na veke ljubil Izraela, zato te je postavil za kralja, da izvajaš sodbo in pravico.«
10 And she gave to Solomon a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and very many spices, and precious stones: there had not come any other spices so abundant as those which the queen of Saba gave to king Solomon.
Kralju je izročila sto dvajset talentov zlata in od dišav zelo veliko zalogo in dragocene kamne. Tja ni prišlo več takšno obilje dišav kakor te, ki jih je kraljica iz Sabe dala kralju Salomonu.
11 And the ship of Chiram which brought the gold from Suphir, brought very much hewn timber and precious stones.
Prav tako je Hirámova mornarica, ki je iz Ofírja pripeljala zlato, iz Ofírja pripeljala veliko obilje sandalovine in dragocenih kamnov.
12 And the king made the hewn timber [into] buttresses of the house of the Lord and the king's house, and lyres and harps for singers: such hewn timber had not come upon the earth, nor have been seen anywhere until this day.
Kralj je iz sandalovine naredil stebre za Gospodovo hišo in za kraljevo hišo, tudi harfe in plunke za pevce. Do tega dne tja ni prišlo nobene takšne sandalovine niti jih niso videli.
13 And king Solomon gave to the queen of Saba all that she desired, whatever she asked, besides all that he had given her by the hand of king Solomon: and she returned, and came into her own land, she and her servants.
Kralj Salomon je kraljici iz Sabe izročil vse njene želje, karkoli je prosila, poleg tega, kar ji je Salomon dal od svoje kraljeve radodarnosti. Tako se je obrnila in odšla v svojo lastno deželo, ona in njeni služabniki.
14 And the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold.
Torej teža zlata, ki je v enem letu prišla k Salomonu, je bila šeststo šestinšestdeset talentov zlata,
15 Besides the tributes of them that were subjects, both merchants and all the kings of the [country] beyond [the river], and of the princess of the land.
poleg tega kar je imel od trgovcev, od preprodaje trgovcev z dišavami, od vseh kraljev iz Arabije in od voditeljev dežele.
16 And Solomon made three hundred spears of beaten gold: three hundred shekels of gold were upon one spear.
Kralj Salomon je naredil dvesto okroglih ščitov iz kovanega zlata. Šeststo šeklov zlata je šlo k enemu okroglemu ščitu.
17 And three hundred shields of beaten gold: and three pounds of gold were in one shield: and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
Naredil je tristo ščitov iz kovanega zlata. Tri funte zlata je šlo za en ščit. Kralj jih je postavil v hiši libanonskega gozda.
18 And the king made a great ivory throne, and gilded it with pure gold.
Poleg tega je kralj naredil velik prestol iz slonovine in ga prevlekel z najboljšim zlatom.
19 The throne [had] six steps, and calves in bold relief to the throne behind it, and side-pieces on either hand of the place of the seat, and two lions standing by the side-pieces,
Prestol je imel šest stopnic in vrh prestola je bil zadaj okrogel. Na vsaki strani prestola sta bili naslonjali za roke in dva leva sta stala poleg naslonjal za roke.
20 and twelve lions standing there on the six steps on either side: it was not so done in any [other] kingdom.
Dvanajst levov je stalo na eni strani in na drugi, na šestih stopnicah. Kaj podobnega ni bilo narejenega v nobenem kraljestvu.
21 And all the vessels made by Solomon [were] of gold, and the lavers [were] golden, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold; there was no silver, for it was not accounted of in the days of Solomon.
Vse Salomonove posode za pitje so bile iz zlata in vse posode hiše libanonskega gozda so bile iz čistega zlata, nobena ni bila iz srebra. V Salomonovih dneh le-to ni veljalo za nič.
22 For Solomon had a ship of Tharsis in the sea with the ships of Chiram: one ship came to the king every three years out of Tharsis, [laden with] gold and silver, and wrought stones, and hewn stones.
Kajti kralj je imel na morju taršíško mornarico s Hirámovo mornarico. Enkrat na tri leta je prišla mornarica iz Taršíša noseč zlato, srebro, slonovino, opice in pave.
23 And Solomon increased beyond all the kings of the earth in wealth and wisdom.
Tako je kralj Salomon zaradi bogastva in zaradi modrosti prekosil vse zemeljske kralje.
24 And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom which the Lord [had] put into his heart.
Vsa zemlja je iskala Salomona, da sliši njegovo modrost, ki jo je Bog položil v njegovo srce.
25 And they brought every one their gifts, vessels of gold, and raiment, and stacte, and spices, and horses, and mules, a rate year by year.
Vsak mož je prinesel svoje darilo, posode iz srebra, posode iz zlata, obleke, bojno opremo, dišave, konje, mule in to leto za letom.
26 And Solomon had four thousand mares for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen: and he put them in the cities of his chariots, and with the king in Jerusalem: and he ruled over all the kings from the river to the land of the Philistines, and to the borders of Egypt.
Salomon je zbral skupaj bojne vozove in konjenike. Imel je tisoč štiristo bojnih voz in dvanajst tisoč konjenikov, ki jih je usmeril v mesta za bojne vozove in s kraljem v Jeruzalem.
27 And the king made gold and silver in Jerusalem as stones, and he made cedars as the sycamores in the plain for multitude.
Kralj je storil, da je bilo v Jeruzalemu zaradi obilja srebra kakor kamnov in storil, da je bilo ceder kakor egiptovskih smokev, ki so v dolini.
28 And the goings forth of Solomon's horsemen [was] also out of Egypt, and the king's merchants [were] of Thecue; and they received them out of Thecue at a price.
Salomon je imel konje, privedene iz Egipta in laneno prejo. Kraljevi trgovci so laneno prejo prejeli za ceno.
29 And that which proceeded out of Egypt went up [thus, even] a chariot for a hundred [shekels] of silver, and a horse for fifty [shekels] of silver: and thus for all the kings of the Chettians, and the kings of Syria, they came out by sea.
Bojni voz je prišel gor in se iz Egipta pripeljal za šeststo šeklov srebra, konj pa [za] sto petdeset. Tako so jih za vse hetejske kralje in za sirske kralje privedli ven z njihovimi sredstvi.
