1 Kings 10
1 Now the queen of Sheba, hearing great things of Solomon, came to put his wisdom to the test with hard questions.
Glas koji je u Jahvinu Imenu stekao Salomon dopro je do kraljice od Sabe; zato ona dođe da Salomona iskuša zagonetkama.
2 And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels weighted down with spices, and stores of gold and jewels: and when she came to Solomon she had talk with him of everything in her mind.
Došla je u Jeruzalem s golemom pratnjom, s devama koje su nosile mirise, nebrojeno zlato i drago kamenje. Došavši k Salomonu, porazgovori se s njim o svemu što joj bijaše na srcu.
3 And Solomon gave her answers to all her questions; there was no secret which the king did not make clear to her.
Salomon joj odgovori na sva pitanja; nije mu bilo skriveno ništa da joj ne bi umio objasniti.
4 And when the queen of Sheba had seen all the wisdom of Solomon, and the house which he had made,
Kad kraljica od Sabe vidje mudrost Salomonovu, dvor koji bijaše sagradio,
5 And the food at his table, and all his servants seated there, and those who were waiting on him in their places, and their robes, and his wine-servants, and the burned offerings which he made in the house of the Lord, there was no more spirit in her.
jela na njegovu stolu, odaje njegove i dvorane, otmjenost njegove posluge i njihova odijela, njegove peharnike i paljenice koje je prinio u Domu Jahvinu, zastade joj dah.
6 And she said to the king, The account which was given to me in my country of your acts and your wisdom was true.
Tada reče kralju: “Istina je bila što sam u svojoj zemlji čula o tebi i o tvojoj mudrosti.
7 But I had no faith in what was said about you, till I came and saw for myself; and now I see that it was not half the story; your wisdom and your wealth are much greater than they said.
Ali nisam htjela vjerovati što se pripovijeda dokle god nisam došla i vidjela na svoje oči; i doista, ni pola mi nije bilo rečeno: ti nadvisuješ u mudrosti i blagostanju slavu o kojoj sam čula.
8 Happy are your wives, happy are these your servants whose place is ever before you, hearing your words of wisdom.
Blago tvojim ženama, blago ovim tvojim slugama koji su neprestano pred tobom i slušaju tvoju mudrost!
9 May the Lord your God be praised, whose pleasure it was to put you on the seat of the kingdom of Israel; because the Lord's love for Israel is eternal, he has made you king, to be their judge in righteousness.
Neka je blagoslovljen Jahve, Bog tvoj, komu si tako omilio da te postavio na prijestolje Izraelaca; zato što Jahve uvijek ljubi Izraela, postavio te kraljem da činiš pravo i pravicu.”
10 And she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and a great store of spices and jewels: never again was such a wealth of spices seen as that which the queen of Sheba gave King Solomon.
Dade tada kralju stotinu i dvadeset zlatnih talenata, mnogo miomirisa i dragulja. Nikad više nije bilo takvih miomirisa kakve je kraljica od Sabe dala kralju Salomonu.
11 And the sea-force of Hiram, in addition to gold from Ophir, came back with much sandal-wood and jewels.
Pa i Hiramovo brodovlje, koje je donosilo zlato iz Ofira, dovezlo je odande mnogo sandalovine i dragulja.
12 And from the sandal-wood the king made pillars for the house of the Lord, and for the king's house, and instruments of music for the makers of melody: never has such sandal-wood been seen to this day.
Kralj je od sandalovine napravio ograde za Dom Jahvin i za kraljevski dvor, i citre i harfe za pjevače; nikada se više nije dovezlo toliko sandalova drveta niti se vidjelo do danas.
13 And King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she made request for, in addition to what he gave her freely from the impulse of his heart. So she went back to her country, she and her servants.
Kralj Salomon dade kraljici od Sabe što je god zaželjela i zatražila, a povrh toga kraljevski je obdari. Potom ona krenu i sa slugama vrati se u svoju zemlju.
14 Now the weight of gold which came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents;
Zlato što je dolazilo Salomonu svake godine bilo je teško šest stotina šezdeset i šest zlatnih talenata,
15 In addition to what came to him from the business of the traders, and from all the kings of the Arabians, and from the rulers of the country.
osim onoga što je dolazilo od trgovaca i prodavača-potukača i od svih arapskih kraljeva i upravitelja zemaljskih.
16 And Solomon made two hundred body-covers of hammered gold, every one having six hundred shekels of gold in it.
Kralj Salomon načini tri stotine velikih štitova od kovanog zlata; za svaki je štit upotrijebio šest stotina zlatnih šekela;
17 And he made three hundred smaller body-covers of hammered gold, with three pounds of gold in every cover: and the king put them in the house of the Woods of Lebanon.
i načini trista štitića od kovanog zlata; za svaki je štitić utrošio tri zlatne mine. Pohranio je sve u kuću zvanu Libanonska šuma.
18 Then the king made a great ivory seat, plated with the best gold.
Kralj je još napravio veliko prijestolje od bjelokosti i obložio ga čistim zlatom.
19 There were six steps going up to it, and the top of it was round at the back, there were arms on the two sides of the seat, and two lions by the side of the arms;
Prijestolje je imalo šest stepenica, straga je na njemu bila teleća glava, a s obje strane sjedala bile su ručice, a kraj ručica stajala dva lava.
20 And twelve lions were placed on the one side and on the other side on the six steps: there was nothing like it in any kingdom.
Dvanaest je lavova stajalo s obje strane onih šest stepenica. Takvo što nije bilo izrađeno ni u jednom kraljevstvu.
21 And all King Solomon's drinking-vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the Woods of Lebanon were of the best gold; not one was of silver, for no one gave a thought to silver in the days of King Solomon.
Sve posude iz kojih je pio kralj Salomon bijahu zlatne, i sve posuđe u kući zvanoj Libanonska šuma bijaše od suhoga zlata; ništa nije bilo od srebra, jer se ono smatralo bezvrijednim u Salomonovo vrijeme.
22 For the king had Tarshish-ships at sea with the ships of Hiram; once every three years the Tarshish-ships came with gold and silver and ivory and monkeys and peacocks.
Kralj je imao taršiško brodovlje na moru zajedno s Hiramovim brodovljem, i svake treće godine dolazilo je taršiško brodovlje donoseći zlato, srebro i slonovu kost, majmune i paune.
23 And King Solomon was greater than all the kings of the earth in wealth and in wisdom.
Tako je kralj Salomon natkrilio sve zemaljske kraljeve bogatstvom i mudrošću.
24 And from all over the earth they came to see Solomon and to give ear to his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
Sav je svijet želio vidjeti Salomona i čuti mudrost koju mu je Bog ulio u srce.
25 And everyone took with him an offering, vessels of silver and vessels of gold, and robes, and coats of metal, and spices, and horses, and beasts of transport, regularly year by year.
Svatko mu je donosio dar: srebro i zlatno posuđe, haljine, oružje, miomirise, konje i mazge, iz godine u godinu.
26 And Solomon got together war-carriages and horsemen; he had one thousand, four hundred carriages and twelve thousand horsemen, whom he kept, some in the carriage-towns and some with the king at Jerusalem.
Uz to je Salomon sakupio bojnih kola i konjanika; imao je tisuću i četiri stotine bojnih kola i dvanaest tisuća konja i rasporedio ih je po gradovima bojnih kola i kod kralja u Jeruzalemu.
27 And the king made silver as common as stones in Jerusalem and cedars like the sycamore-trees of the lowlands in number.
Salomon je učinio da u Jeruzalemu bude srebra kao kamenja, a cedrova kao divljih smokava što rastu u Šefeli.
28 And Solomon's horses came from Egypt and from Kue; the king's traders got them at a price from Kue.
Salomon je uvozio konje iz Musrija i Koe: kraljevi nabavljači uvozili su ih iz Koe za određenu svotu.
29 A war-carriage might be got from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty; they got them at the same rate for all the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Aram.
Kola se dovozila iz Egipta po šest stotina srebrnih šekela; a konj se plaćao po stotinu i pedeset. Tako ih preko nabavljača dobivahu svi kraljevi hetitski i aramejski.
