2 Књига дневника 9
1 А царица савска чу глас о Соломуну, па дође у Јерусалим да искуша Соломуна загонеткама са силном пратњом и с камилама које ношаху мириса и злата врло много и драгог камења; и дошавши к Соломуну говори с њом о свему што јој беше у срцу.
When the queen of Sheba heard of Solomon's fame, she came to Jerusalem to test him with hard questions. She came with a very long caravan, with camels loaded with spices, much gold, and many precious gemstones. When she had come to Solomon, she told him all that was in her heart.
2 И Соломун јој одговори на све речи њене; не беше од цара сакривено ништа да јој не би одговорио.
Solomon answered her all her questions; nothing was too difficult for Solomon; there was no question that he did not answer.
3 А кад царица савска виде мудрост Соломунову и дом који беше сазидао,
When the queen of Sheba saw Solomon's wisdom and the palace that he had built,
4 И јела на столу његовом, и станове слуга његових и дворбу дворана његових и одело њихово, и пехарнике његове, и њихово одело, и њихове жртве паљенице које приношаху у дому Господњем, она дође изван себе,
the food on his table, the seating of his servants, the work of his servants and their clothing, also his cupbearers and their clothing, and the burnt offerings he made at the house of Yahweh, and there was no more breath in her.
5 Па рече цару: Истина је све што сам чула у својој земљи о стварима твојим и о мудрости твојој.
She said to the king, “It is true, the report that I heard in my own land of your words and your wisdom.
6 Али не хтех веровати шта говораху докле не дођем и видим својим очима; а гле, ни пола ми није казано о великој мудрости твојој; надвисио си глас који сам слушала.
I did not believe what I heard until I came here, and now my eyes have seen it. Not half was told me about your wisdom and wealth! You have exceeded the fame that I heard about.
7 Благо људима твојим и благо свим слугама твојим, који једнако стоје пред тобом и слушају мудрост твоју.
How blessed are your people, and how blessed are your servants who constantly stand before you, because they hear your wisdom.
8 Да је благословен Господ Бог твој, коме си омилео, те те посади на престо свој да царујеш место Господа Бога свог; јер Бог љуби Израиља да би га утврдио довека, зато им постави тебе царем да судиш и делиш правицу.
Blessed be Yahweh your God, who has taken pleasure in you, who placed you on his throne, to be king for Yahweh your God. Because your God loved Israel, in order to establish them forever, he had made you king over them, for you to do justice and righteousness!”
9 Потом даде цару сто и двадесет таланата злата и врло много мириса и драгог камења; никада више не би таквих мириса какве даде царица савска цару Соломуну.
She gave the king 120 talents of gold and a large amount of spices and precious stones. No greater amount of spices as these that the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon was ever given to him again.
10 И слуге Хирамове и слуге Соломунове које доносе злата из Офира, довезоше дрвета алмугима и драгог камења.
The servants of Hiram and the servants of Solomon, who brought gold from Ophir, also brought algum wood and precious stones.
11 И начини цар од тог дрвета алмугима пут у дом Господњи и у дом царев, и гусле и псалтире за певаче; никада се пре нису виделе такве ствари у земљи Јудиној.
With the algum wood, the king made steps for the house of Yahweh and for his house, as well as harps and lyres for the musicians. No wood like this had been seen before in the land of Judah.
12 А цар Соломун даде царици савској шта год зажеле и заиска осим уздарја за оно што беше донела цару. Потом она отиде и врати се у земљу своју са слугама својим.
King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba everything she desired and whatever she asked for; he gave her more than what she had brought to the king. So she left and went back to her own land, she and her servants.
13 А злата што дохођаше Соломуну сваке године беше шест стотина и шездесет и шест таланата,
Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was 666 talents of gold,
14 Осим оног што доношаху трговци и они који продаваху мирисе; и сви цареви арапски и главари земаљски доношаху Соломуну злато и сребро.
besides the gold that the traders and merchants brought. All the kings of Arabia and the governors in the country also brought gold and silver to Solomon.
15 И начини цар Соломун двеста штитова од кованог злата, шест стотина сикала кованог злата дајући на један штит.
King Solomon made two hundred large shields of beaten gold. Six hundred shekels of gold went into each one.
16 И три стотине малих штитова од кованог злата, дајући триста сикала злата на један штитић. И остави их цар у дому од шуме ливанске.
He also made three hundred shields of beaten gold. Three minas of gold went into each shield; the king put them into the House of the Forest of Lebanon.
17 И начини цар велик престо од слонове кости, и обложи га чистим златом.
Then the king made a great throne of ivory and overlaid it with the finest gold.
18 А беше шест басамака у престола, и подножје од злата састављено с престолом, и ручице с обе стране седишта, и два лава стајаху покрај ручица.
There were six steps to the throne, and a footstool was attached to the throne. On each side of the throne there were armrests with two lions standing beside each of them.
19 И дванаест лавова стајаше на шест басамака отуд и одовуд. Не беху такви начињени ни у коме царству.
Twelve lions stood on the steps, one on each side of each of the six steps. There was no throne like it in any other kingdom.
20 И сви судови из којих пијаше цар Соломун беху златни, и сви судови у дому од шуме ливанске беху од чистог злата; од сребра не беше ништа; сребро беше ништа за времена Соломуновог.
All King Solomon's drinking cups were gold, and all the drinking cups in the House of the Forest of Lebanon were of pure gold. None were silver because silver was not considered valuable in Solomon's days.
21 Јер цареве лађе хођаху у Тарсис са слугама Хирамовим: једанпут у три године враћаху се лађе тарсиске доносећи злато и сребро, слонове кости и мајмуне и пауне.
The king had at sea a fleet of oceangoing ships, along with the fleet of Hiram. Once every three years the fleet brought gold, silver, and ivory, as well as apes and baboons.
22 Тако цар Соломун беше већи од свих царева земаљских богатством и мудрошћу.
So King Solomon exceeded all the kings of the world in riches and in wisdom.
23 И сви цареви земаљски тражаху да виде Соломуна да чују мудрост његову, коју му даде Господ у срце.
All the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon in order to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
24 И доношаху му сви даре, судове сребрне и судове златне, и хаљине и оружје и мирисе, коње и мазге сваке године,
Those who visited brought tribute, vessels of silver and of gold, clothes, armor, and spices, as well as horses and mules, year after year.
25 Тако да имаше Соломун четири хиљаде стаја за коње и кола, и дванаест хиљада коњаника, које намести по градовима где му беху кола и код себе у Јерусалиму.
Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, which he stationed in the chariot cities and with himself in Jerusalem.
26 И владаше над свим царевима од реке до земље филистејске и до међе мисирске.
He ruled over all the kings from the Euphrates River to the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt.
27 И учини цар, те у Јерусалиму беше сребра као камена, а кедрових дрва као дивљих смокава које расту по пољу, тако много.
The king had silver in Jerusalem, as much as the stones on the ground. He made cedar wood to be as abundant as the sycamore fig trees that are in the lowlands.
28 И довођаху Соломуну коње из Мисира и из свих земаља.
They brought horses for Solomon from Egypt and from all the lands.
29 А остала дела Соломунова прва и последња нису ли записана у књизи Натана пророка и у пророчанству Ахије Силомљанина и у утвари Ида видеоца о Јеровоаму сину Наватовом?
As for the other matters concerning Solomon, first and last, are they not written in The History of Nathan the Prophet, in The Prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in The Visions of Iddo the Seer (which also had information about Jeroboam son of Nebat)?
30 А царова Соломун у Јерусалиму над свим Израиљем четрдесет година.
Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel for forty years.
31 И почину Соломун код отаца својих, и погребоше га у граду Давида оца његовог; а на његово место зацари се Ровоам, син његов.
He slept with his ancestors and the people buried him in the city of David his father. Rehoboam, his son, became king in his place.
