2 Kroniška 9
1 Ko je kraljica iz Sabe slišala o Salomonovi slavi, je prišla v Jeruzalem, da Salomona preizkusi s težkimi vprašanji, z zelo veliko skupino in kamelami, ki so nosile dišave, zlata v obilju in dragocene kamne. Ko je prišla k Salomonu, se je z njim posvetovala o vsem, kar je bilo na njenem 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 Salomon ji je odgovoril [na] vsa njena vprašanja. Ničesar ni bilo skrito pred Salomonom, česar ji ne bi povedal.
And Solomon explained to her all that she proposed: and there was not any thing that he did not make clear unto her.
3 Ko je kraljica iz Sabe videla Salomonovo modrost in hišo, ki jo je zgradil,
And when she had seen these things, to wit, the wisdom of Solomon, and the house which he had built,
4 hrano njegove mize, sedenje njegovih služabnikov, položaj njegovih služabnikov in njihovo obleko; tudi njegove dvorne točaje in njihovo obleko in njegov vzpon, s katerim je odšel gor v Gospodovo hišo, tam ni bilo več duha v njej.
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 Kralju je rekla: » To je bilo resnično poročilo, ki sem ga slišala v svoji lastni deželi o tvojih dejanjih in o tvoji modrosti.
And she said to the king: The word is true which I heard in my country of thy virtues and wisdom.
6 Vendar nisem verjela njihovim besedam, dokler nisem prišla in so moje oči to videle. Glej, ni mi bilo povedano niti o eni polovici veličine tvoje modrosti, kajti presegaš slavo, ki sem jo slišala.
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 Srečni so tvoji možje in srečni so ti tvoji služabniki, ki nenehno stojijo pred teboj in poslušajo tvojo modrost.
Happy are thy men, and happy are thy servants, who stand always before thee, and hear thy wisdom.
8 Blagoslovljen bodi Gospod, tvoj Bog, ki se je razveseljeval v tebi, da te postavi na svoj prestol, da bi bil kralj za Gospoda, tvojega Boga. Ker je tvoj Bog ljubil Izrael, da jih utrdi na veke, te je zato postavil [za] kralja nad njimi, da izvajaš sodbo in pravico.«
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 Kralju je izročila sto dvajset talentov zlata, veliko obilje dišav in dragocene kamne. Niti ni bilo tam nobenih takšnih dišav, kot jih je kraljica iz Sabe izročila kralju Salomonu.
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 Hurámovi služabniki in Salomonovi služabniki, ki so pripeljali zlato iz Ofírja, so pripeljali tudi sandalovino in dragocene kamne.
And the servants also of Hiram, with the servants of Solomon, brought gold from Ophir, and thyine trees, and most precious stones:
11 Kralj je iz sandalovine naredil terase h Gospodovi hiši in h kraljevi palači in harfe ter plunke za pevce. Ničesar takšnega ni bilo prej videti v Judovi deželi.
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 Kralj Salomon je kraljici iz Sabe izročil vse njene želje, karkoli je prosila, poleg tega, kar je prinesla h kralju. Tako se je obrnila in odšla proč k svoji lastni deželi, ona in njeni služabniki.
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 Torej teža zlata, ki je prišla k Salomonu v enem letu, je bila šeststo šestinšestdeset talentov zlata,
And the weight of the gold, that was brought to Solomon every year, was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold:
14 poleg tega, kar so prinašali krošnjarji in trgovci. Vsi kralji Arabije in voditelji dežele so Salomonu prinašali zlato in 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 Kralj Salomon je naredil dvesto okroglih ščitov iz kovanega zlata. Šeststo šeklov iz kovanega zlata je šlo k enemu okroglemu ščitu.
And king Solomon made two hundred golden spears, of the sum of six hundred pieces of gold, which went to every spear:
16 Tristo ščitov je naredil iz kovanega zlata. Tristo šeklov zlata je šlo za en ščit. Kralj jih je postavil v hiši libanonskega gozda.
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 Poleg tega je kralj naredil velik prestol iz slonovine in ga prevlekel s čistim zlatom.
The king also made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold.
18 K prestolu je bilo šest stopnic, s pručko iz zlata, ki so bile pritrjene k prestolu in opori [za roke] na vsaki strani prostora za sedenje in dva leva, stoječa pri oporah [za roke].
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 Dvanajst levov je stalo tam na eni strani in na drugi, na šestih stopnicah. Ničesar podobnega ni bilo narejenega v nobenem kraljestvu.
Moreover twelve other little lions standing upon the steps on both sides: there was not such a throne in any kingdom.
20 Vse posode za pitje kralja Salomona so bile iz zlata in vse posode hiše libanonskega gozda so bile iz čistega zlata. Nobena ni bila iz srebra, le-to ni bilo nič cenjeno v Salomonovih dneh.
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 Kajti kraljeve ladje so odplule v Taršíš s Hurámovimi služabniki. Enkrat na vsaka tri leta so prišle ladje iz Taršíša, ki so pripeljale zlato, srebro, slonovino, opice in pave.
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 Kralj Salomon je presegal vse zemeljske kralje v bogastvih in modrosti.
And Solomon was magnified above all the kings of the earth for riches and glory.
23 Vsi kralji zemlje so iskali Salomonovo prisotnost, da slišijo njegovo modrost, ki jo je Bog položil v njegovo 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 Prinašali so mu vsak človek svoje darilo, posode iz srebra, posode iz zlata, oblačila, vprege, dišave, konje in mule, mero leto za letom.
And every year they brought him presents, vessels of silver and of gold, and garments, and armour, and spices, and horses, and mules.
25 Salomon je imel štiri tisoč boksov za konje in bojne vozove in dvanajst tisoč konjenikov, ki jih je namestil v mestih za bojne vozove in s kraljem v Jeruzalemu.
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 Kraljeval je nad vsemi kralji od reke celo do dežele Filistejcev in do meje Egipta.
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 Kralj je naredil srebra v Jeruzalemu kakor kamnov in cedrovih dreves je naredil [toliko] kakor egiptovskih smokev, ki jih je na nizkih ravnicah v obilju.
And he made silver as plentiful in Jerusalem as stones: and cedars as common as the sycamores, which grow in the plains.
28 K Salomonu so vodili konje iz Egipta in iz vseh dežel.
And horses were brought to him out of Egypt, and out of all countries.
29 Torej preostala izmed Salomonovih dejanj, prva in zadnja, mar niso zapisana v knjigi preroka Natána in v prerokovanju Šilčana Ahíja in v videnjih vidca Idója zoper Nebátovega sina Jerobeáma?
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 Salomon je v Jeruzalemu nad Izraelom kraljeval štirideset let.
And Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years.
31 Salomon je zaspal s svojimi očeti in je bil pokopan v mestu svojega očeta Davida in namesto njega je zakraljeval njegov sin Rehabám.
And he slept with his fathers: and they buried him in the city of David: and Roboam his son reigned in his stead.
