2 Dnevnika 9
1 A carica Savska èu glas o Solomunu, pa doðe u Jerusalim da iskuša Solomuna zagonetkama sa silnom pratnjom i s kamilama koje nošahu mirisa i zlata vrlo mnogo i dragog kamenja; i došavši k Solomunu govori s njim o svemu što joj bješe u srcu.
And when the queen of Saba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to try him with hard questions at Jerusalem, with great riches, and camels, which carried spices, and abundance of gold, and precious stones. And when she was come to Solomon, she proposed to him all that was in her heart.
2 I Solomun joj odgovori na sve rijeèi njezine; ne bješe od cara sakriveno ništa da joj ne bi odgovorio.
And Solomon explained to her all that she proposed: and there was not any thing that he did not make clear unto her.
3 A kad carica Savska vidje mudrost Solomunovu i dom koji bješe sazidao,
And when she had seen these things, to wit, the wisdom of Solomon, and the house which he had built,
4 I jela na stolu njegovu, i stanove sluga njegovijeh i dvorbu dvorana njegovijeh i odijelo njihovo, i peharnike njegove i njihovo odijelo, i njegove žrtve paljenice koje prinošaše u domu Gospodnjem, ona doðe izvan sebe,
And the meats of his table, and the dwelling places of his servants, and the attendance of his officers, and their apparel, his cupbearers also, and their garments, and the victims which he offered in the house of the Lord: there was no more spirit in her, she was so astonished.
5 Pa reèe caru: istina je što sam èula u svojoj zemlji o stvarima tvojim i o mudrosti tvojoj.
And she said to the king: The word is true which I heard in my country of thy virtues and wisdom.
6 Ali ne htjeh vjerovati što govorahu dokle ne doðem i vidim svojim oèima; a gle, ni pola mi nije kazano o velikoj mudrosti tvojoj; nadvisio si glas koji sam slušala.
I did not believe them that told it, until I came, and my eyes had seen, and I had proved that scarce one half of thy wisdom had been told me: thou hast exceeded the same with thy virtues.
7 Blago ljudima tvojim i blago svijem slugama tvojim, koje jednako stoje pred tobom i slušaju mudrost tvoju.
Happy are thy men, and happy are thy servants, who stand always before thee, and hear thy wisdom.
8 Da je blagosloven Gospod Bog tvoj, kojemu si omilio, te te posadi na prijesto svoj da caruješ mjesto Gospoda Boga svojega; jer Bog tvoj ljubi Izrailja da bi ga utvrdio dovijeka, zato im postavi tebe carem da sudiš i dijeliš pravicu.
Blessed be the Lord thy God, who hath been pleased to set thee on his throne, king of the Lord thy God. Because God loveth Israel, and will preserve them for ever: therefore hath he made thee king over them, to do judgment and justice.
9 Potom dade caru sto i dvadeset talanata zlata i vrlo mnogo mirisa i dragoga kamenja; nigda više ne bi takvih mirisa kakve dade carica Savska caru Solomunu.
And she gave to the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices in great abundance, and most precious stones: there were no such spices as these which the queen of Saba gave to king Solomon.
10 I sluge Hiramove i sluge Solomunove koje donesoše zlata iz Ofira, dovezoše drveta almugima i dragoga kamenja.
And the servants also of Hiram, with the servants of Solomon, brought gold from Ophir, and thyine trees, and most precious stones:
11 I naèini car od toga drveta almugima put u dom Gospodnji i u dom carev, i gusle i psaltire za pjevaèe; nigda se prije nijesu vidjele take stvari u zemlji Judinoj.
And the king made of the thyine trees stairs in the house of the Lord, and in the king’s house, and harps and psalteries for the singing men: never were there seen such trees in the land of Juda.
12 A car Solomun dade carici Savskoj što god zaželje i zaiska osim uzdarja za ono što bješe donijela caru. Potom ona otide i vrati se u zemlju svoju sa slugama svojim.
And king Solomon gave to the queen of Saba all that she desired, and that she asked, and many more things than she brought to him: so she returned, and went to her own country with her servants.
13 A zlata što dohoðaše Solomunu svake godine bješe šest stotina i šezdeset i šest talanata,
And the weight of the gold, that was brought to Solomon every year, was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold:
14 Osim onoga što donošahu trgovci i oni koji prodavahu mirise; i svi carevi arapski i glavari zemaljski donošahu Solomunu zlato i srebro.
Beside the sum which the deputies of divers nations, and the merchants were accustomed to bring, and all the kings of Arabia, and the lords of the lands, who I brought gold and silver to Solomon.
15 I naèini car Solomun dvjesta štitova od kovanoga zlata, šest stotina sikala kovanoga zlata dajuæi na jedan štit,
And king Solomon made two hundred golden spears, of the sum of six hundred pieces of gold, which went to every spear:
16 I tri stotine malijeh štitova od kovanoga zlata, dajuæi trista sikala zlata na jedan štitiæ. I ostavi ih car u domu od šume Livanske.
And three hundred golden shields of three hundred pieces of gold, which went to the covering of every shield: and the king put them in the armoury, which was compassed with a wood.
17 I naèini car velik prijesto od slonove kosti, i obloži ga èistijem zlatom.
The king also made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold.
18 A bijaše šest basamaka u prijestola, i podnožje od zlata sastavljeno s prijestolom, i ruèice s obje strane sjedišta, i dva lava stajahu pokraj ruèica.
And six steps to go up to the throne, and a footstool of gold, and two arms one on either side, and two lions standing by the arms:
19 I dvanaest lavova stajaše na šest basamaka otud i odovud. Ne bi taki naèinjen ni u kojem carstvu.
Moreover twelve other little lions standing upon the steps on both sides: there was not such a throne in any kingdom.
20 I svi sudovi iz kojih pijaše car Solomun bijahu zlatni, i svi sudovi u domu od šume Livanske bijahu od èistoga zlata; od srebra ne bješe ništa; srebro bješe ništa za vremena Solomunova.
And all the vessels of the king’s table were of gold, and the vessels of the house of the forest of Libanus were of the purest gold. For no account was made of silver in those days.
21 Jer careve laðe hoðahu u Tarsis sa slugama Hiramovijem: jedanput u tri godine vraæahu se laðe Tarsiske donoseæi zlato i srebro, slonove kosti i majmune i paune.
For the king’s ships went to Tharsis with the servants of Hiram, once in three years: and they brought thence gold and silver, and ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
22 Tako car Solomun bijaše veæi od svijeh careva zemaljskih bogatstvom i mudrošæu.
And Solomon was magnified above all the kings of the earth for riches and glory.
23 I svi carevi zemaljski tražahu da vide Solomuna da èuju mudrost njegovu, koju mu dade Gospod u srce.
And all the kings of the earth desired to see the face of Solomon, that they might hear the wisdom which God had given in his heart.
24 I donošahu mu svi dare, sudove srebrne i sudove zlatne, i haljine i oružje i mirise, konje i mazge svake godine,
And every year they brought him presents, vessels of silver and of gold, and garments, and armour, and spices, and horses, and mules.
25 Tako da imaše Solomun èetiri tisuæe staja za konje i kola, i dvanaest tisuæa konjika, koje namjesti po gradovima gdje mu bijahu kola i kod sebe u Jerusalimu.
And Solomon had forty thousand horses in the stables, and twelve thousand chariots, and horsemen, and he placed them in the cities of the chariots, and where the king was in Jerusalem.
26 I vladaše nad svijem carevima od rijeke do zemlje Filistejske i do meðe Misirske.
And he exercised authority over all the kings from the river Euphrates to the land of the Philistines, and to the borders of Egypt.
27 I uèini car, te u Jerusalimu bješe srebra kao kamena, a kedrovijeh drva kao divljih smokava koje rastu po polju, tako mnogo.
And he made silver as plentiful in Jerusalem as stones: and cedars as common as the sycamores, which grow in the plains.
28 I dovoðahu Solomunu konje iz Misira i iz svijeh zemalja.
And horses were brought to him out of Egypt, and out of all countries.
29 A ostala djela Solomunova prva i pošljednja nijesu li zapisana u knjizi Natana proroka i u proroèanstvu Ahije Silomljanina i u utvari Ida vidioca o Jerovoamu sinu Navatovu?
Now the rest of the acts of Solomon first and last are written in the words of Nathan the prophet, and in the boobs of Ahias the Silonite, and in the vision of Addo the seer, against Jeroboam the son of Nabat.
30 A carova Solomun u Jerusalimu nad svijem Izrailjem èetrdeset godina.
And Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years.
31 I poèinu Solomun kod otaca svojih, i pogreboše ga u gradu Davida oca njegova; a na njegovo mjesto zacari se Rovoam sin njegov.
And he slept with his fathers: and they buried him in the city of David: and Roboam his son reigned in his stead.
