¹Ko pa je slišala kraljica v Sabi Salomonov sloves zaradi imena GOSPODOVEGA, ga je prišla izkušat z ugankami.

¹And the queen of Sheba is hearing of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of Jehovah, and cometh to try him with enigmas,

²Pride torej v Jeruzalem z jako velikim spremstvom, z velblodi, ki so nesli dišave in zlata jako mnogo in drage kamene. In ko je dospela k Salomonu, je govorila ž njim o vsem, kar ji je bilo na srcu.

²and she cometh to Jerusalem, with a very great company, camels bearing spices, and very much gold, and precious stone, and she cometh unto Solomon, and speaketh unto him all that hath been with her heart.

³In Salomon ji je razložil vse, kar ga je vprašala; ni bilo besede, ki bi bila skrita kralju, da bi ji ne bil povedal.

³And Solomon declareth to her all her matters — there hath not been a thing hid from the king that he hath not declared to her.

⁴Ko pa je čula kraljica iz Sabe vso modrost Salomonovo in videla hišo, ki jo je zgradil,

⁴And the queen of Sheba seeth all the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he built,

⁵in jed na mizi njegovi in prebivališča hlapcev njegovih in strežbo služabnikov njegovih ter njih obleko in njegove točaje in njegove stopnice, po katerih je hodil gori v hišo GOSPODOVO, ji je od strmenja sapa zastala;

⁵and the food of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the standing of his ministers, and their clothing, and his butlers, and his burnt-offering that he causeth to ascend in the house of Jehovah, and there hath not been in her any more spirit.

⁶in reče kralju: Resnična je bila beseda, ki sem jo slišala v deželi svoji o tvojih stvareh in o tvoji modrosti!

⁶And she saith unto the king, `True hath been the word that I heard in my land, concerning thy matters and thy wisdom;

⁷Toda nisem hotela verjeti, dokler nisem prišla in sem s svojimi očmi videla vse. In glej, še polovice mi niso povedali: več imaš modrosti in dobrot, nego je bila govorica, ki sem jo slišala.

⁷and I gave no credence to the words till that I have come, and my eyes see, and lo, it was not declared to me — the half; thou hast added wisdom and goodness unto the report that I heard.

⁸Blagor tvojim ljudem in blagor tem tvojim hlapcem, ki vedno stoje pred teboj, ki poslušajo modrost tvojo!

⁸O the happiness of thy men, O the happiness of thy servants — these — who are standing before thee continually, who are hearing thy wisdom!

⁹Hvaljen bodi GOSPOD, Bog tvoj, ki ti je bil blagovoljen, da te je posadil na prestol Izraelov! Ker GOSPOD ljubi Izraela vekomaj, zato te je postavil za kralja, da izvršuješ sodbo in pravičnost.

⁹Jehovah thy God is blessed who delighted in thee, to put thee on the throne of Israel; in Jehovah`s loving Israel to the age He doth set thee for king, to do judgment and righteousness.

¹⁰In dala je kralju stoindvajset talentov zlata in silno veliko dišav in dragih kamenov; nikdar več ni prišla tolika množina dišav kakor ta, ki jo je dala kraljica iz Sabe Salomonu.

¹⁰And she giveth to the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices very many, and precious stone; there came not like that spice any more for abundance that the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.

¹¹Vrhutega so pripeljale Hiramove ladje, ki so nosile zlato iz Ofirja, silno veliko sandalovine in dragih kamenov iz Ofirja.

¹¹And also, the navy of Hiram that bore gold from Ophir, brought in from Ophir almug-trees very many, and precious stone;

¹²In kralj je dal napraviti iz sandalovine opirala za hišo GOSPODOVO in za kraljevo hišo, tudi harfe in citre pevcem. Take sandalovine ni prišlo več, tudi je ni bilo videti do današnjega dne.

¹²and the king maketh the almug-trees a support for the house of Jehovah, and for the house of the king, and harps and psalteries for singers; there have not come such almug-trees, nor have there been seen [such] unto this day.

¹³In kralj Salomon je dal kraljici iz Sabe vse, kar je želela in kar je prosila, razen tega, kar ji je poklonil po kraljevi darežljivosti. In vrne se ter odide v deželo svojo, ona in njeni hlapci.

¹³And king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire that she asked, apart from that which he gave to her as a memorial of king Solomon, and she turneth and goeth to her land, she and her servants.

¹⁴Teža zlata pa, ki se je prinašalo Salomonu na leto, je bila šeststo šestdeset in šest talentov,

¹⁴And the weight of the gold that hath come to Solomon in one year is six hundred sixty and six talents of gold,

¹⁵razen tega, kar ga je prišlo s popotniki in s trgovci in od vseh kraljev arabskih in od namestnikov po deželi.

¹⁵apart from [that of] the tourists, and of the traffic of the merchants, and of all the kings of Arabia, and of the governors of the land.

¹⁶In kralj Salomon je dal napraviti dvesto ščitov iz tolkljanega zlata: šeststo seklov zlata je porabil za en ščit;

¹⁶And king Solomon maketh two hundred targets of alloyed gold — six hundred of gold go up on the one target;

¹⁷in tristo malih ščitov iz tolkljanega zlata, po tri mine zlata je šlo na en ščit. In kralj jih je zložil v hiši libanonskega gozda.

¹⁷and three hundred shields of alloyed gold — three pounds of gold go up on the one shield; and the king putteth them [in] the house of the forest of Lebanon.

¹⁸Dalje je na pravil kralj velik prestol iz slonovih kosti in ga je prevlekel z najboljšim zlatom.

¹⁸And the king maketh a great throne of ivory, and overlayeth it with refined gold;

¹⁹Šestero stopnic je držalo do prestola, in vrh prestolov je bil okrogel odzadaj, in na obeh straneh pri sedežu sta bili naslonili, in dva leva sta stala ob naslonilih.

¹⁹six steps hath the throne, and a round top [is] to the throne behind it, and hands [are] on this [side] and on that, unto the place of the sitting, and two lions are standing near the hands,

²⁰In dvanajst levov je stalo na tej in na oni strani ob šesterih stopnicah; kaj takega ni bilo videti v nobenem kraljestvu.

²⁰and twelve lions are standing there on the six steps, on this [side] and on that; it hath not been made so for any kingdom.

²¹Pa tudi vse posode, iz katerih je pil kralj Salomon, so bile zlate, in vsa oprava v hiši libanonskega gozda je bila iz čistega zlata, nič ni bilo srebrno, kajti srebra niso sploh cenili v Salomonovih dnevih.

²¹And all the drinking vessels of king Solomon [are] of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon [are] of refined gold — there are none of silver; it was not reckoned in the days of Solomon for anything,

²²Kralj je imel tarsko brodovje na morju z brodovjem Hiramovim; po enkrat na tri leta so dospevale ladje tarske, noseč zlata in srebra, slonovih kosti, opic in pavov.

²²for a navy of Tarshish hath the king at sea with a navy of Hiram; once in three years cometh the navy of Tarshish, bearing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.

²³In kralj Salomon je nadkriljeval vse kralje zemlje v bogastvu in v modrosti.

²³And king Solomon is greater than any of the kings of the earth for riches and for wisdom,

²⁴In vsa zemlja je hrepenela po obličju Salomonovem, da bi slišali modrost njegovo, ki mu jo je dal Bog v srce.

²⁴and all the earth is seeking the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom that God hath put into his heart,

²⁵In prinašali so vsakdo svoje darilo: posode srebrne in posode zlate, oblačila in orožje in dišave, konje in mezge, vsako leto, kar je bilo pristojno.

²⁵and they are bringing each his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and armour, and spices, horses, and mules, the matter of a year in a year.

²⁶In Salomon je nabral voz in konjikov in je imel tisoč in štiristo voz in dvanajst tisoč konjikov, ki jih je razstavil po voznih mestih in pri kralju v Jeruzalemu.

²⁶And Solomon gathereth chariots, and horsemen, and he hath a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, and he placeth them in the cities of the chariot, and with the king in Jerusalem.

²⁷In kralj je storil, da je bilo v Jeruzalemu toliko srebra kakor kamenov, in ceder je napravil toliko kakor smokovega drevja, ki raste v ravnini.

²⁷And the king maketh the silver in Jerusalem as stones, and the cedars he hath made as the sycamores that [are] in the low country, for abundance.

²⁸In konje je Salomon dobival iz Egipta; družba kraljevih kupcev jih je privajala trume za kupno ceno.Voz pa je prišel gori, odpeljan iz Egipta, po šeststo seklov srebra, in konj po sto in petdeset. Tako so jih dobivali tudi vsi kralji Hetejcev in sirski kralji po njih roki.

²⁸And the outgoing of the horses that king Solomon hath [is] from Egypt, and from Keveh; merchants of the king take from Keveh at a price;

²⁹Voz pa je prišel gori, odpeljan iz Egipta, po šeststo seklov srebra, in konj po sto in petdeset. Tako so jih dobivali tudi vsi kralji Hetejcev in sirski kralji po njih roki.

²⁹and a chariot cometh up and cometh out of Egypt for six hundred silverlings, and a horse for fifty and a hundred, and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Aram; by their hand they bring out.
