¹When the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to prove Solomon with hard questions at Jerusalem, with a very great train, and camels that bore spices, and gold in abundance, and precious stones: and when she had come to Solomon, she talked with him of all that was in her heart.

¹Ko pa je slišala kraljica v Sabi Salomonov sloves, je prišla z ugankami izkušat Salomona v Jeruzalem s silno velikim spremstvom in z velblodi, ki so nesli dišav in zlata jako mnogo in dragega kamenja. In ko je dospela k Salomonu, je govorila ž njim o vsem, kar ji je bilo na srcu.

²Solomon told her all her questions; and there was not anything hidden from Solomon which he didn’t tell her.

²In Salomon ji je razložil vse, kar ga je vprašala; in ni bilo stvari, ki bi bila skrita Salomonu, da bi ji ne bil povedal.

³When the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had built,

³Ko pa je čula kraljica iz Sabe modrost Salomonovo in videla hišo, ki jo je zgradil,

⁴and the food of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their clothing, his cup bearers also, and their clothing, and his ascent by which he went up to the house of Yahweh; there was no more spirit in her.

⁴in jed na mizi njegovi in bivališče hlapcev njegovih in strežbo služabnikov njegovih in njih obleko, njegove točaje in njih obleko in stopnice njegove, po katerih je hodil v hišo GOSPODOVO, ji je od strmenja sapa zastala.

⁵She said to the king, “It was a true report that I heard in my own land of your acts, and of your wisdom.

⁵In reče kralju: Resnična je bila beseda, ki sem jo slišala v deželi svoji o tvojih stvareh in o tvoji modrosti!

⁶However I didn’t believe their words, until I came, and my eyes had seen it; and behold, the half of the greatness of your wisdom was not told me: you exceed the fame that I heard.

⁶Toda nisem hotela verjeti njih besedam, dokler nisem prišla in tega videla s svojimi očmi. In glej, ne polovice mi niso povedali o velikosti tvoje modrosti: vsega več je pri tebi nego v govorici, ki sem jo slišala.

⁷Happy are your men, and happy are these your servants, who stand continually before you, and hear your wisdom.

⁷Blagor tvojim ljudem in blagor tem tvojim hlapcem, ki vedno stoje pred teboj in poslušajo modrost tvojo!

⁸Blessed be Yahweh your God, who delighted in you, to set you on his throne, to be king for Yahweh your God: because your God loved Israel, to establish them forever, therefore made he you king over them, to do justice and righteousness.”

⁸Hvaljen bodi GOSPOD, Bog tvoj, ki ti je bil blagovoljen, da te je posadil na prestol svoj za kralja GOSPODU, Bogu tvojemu! Kajti Bog tvoj ljubi Izraela in ga hoče vzdržati na vekomaj, zato te je postavil za kralja nad njimi, da izvršuješ sodbo in pravičnost.

⁹She gave the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices in great abundance, and precious stones: neither was there any such spice as the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.

⁹In dala je kralju sto in dvajset talentov zlata in veliko množino dišav in dragih kamenov; ni bilo več takih dišav kakor tiste, ki jih je dala kraljica iz Sabe Salomonu.

¹⁰The servants also of Huram, and the servants of Solomon, who brought gold from Ophir, brought algum trees and precious stones.

¹⁰Pa tudi hlapci Huramovi in hlapci Salomonovi, ki so peljali zlato iz Ofirja, so pripeljali sandalovine in dragih kamenov.

¹¹The king made of the algum trees terraces for the house of Yahweh, and for the king’s house, and harps and stringed instruments for the singers: and there were none like these seen before in the land of Judah.

¹¹In kralj je dal narediti iz sandalovega lesa stopnice za hišo GOSPODOVO in za hišo kraljevo, tudi harfe in psalmove citre pevcem; kaj takega ni bilo poprej videti v deželi Judovi.

¹²King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she asked, besides that which she had brought to the king. So she turned, and went to her own land, she and her servants.

¹²In kralj Salomon je dal kraljici iz Sabe vse, kar je želela in kar je prosila, razen tega, kar je bila sama prinesla kralju. In vrnila se je ter odšla v deželo svojo, ona in njeni hlapci.

¹³Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold,

¹³Teža zlata pa, ki je prišlo Salomonu na leto, je bila šeststo šestdeset in šest talentov,

¹⁴besides that which the traders and merchants brought: and all the kings of Arabia and the governors of the country brought gold and silver to Solomon.

¹⁴razen tega, kar so prinesli popotniki in trgovci; tudi vsi kralji arabski in deželni namestniki so prinašali zlata in srebra Salomonu.

¹⁵King Solomon made two hundred bucklers of beaten gold; six hundred shekels of beaten gold went to one buckler.

¹⁵In kralj Salomon je naredil dvesto ščitov iz tolkljanega zlata: šeststo seklov tolkljanega zlata je porabil za en ščit;

¹⁶He made three hundred shields of beaten gold; three hundred shekels of gold went to one shield: and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.

¹⁶in tristo malih ščitov iz tolkljanega zlata, po tristo seklov zlata je šlo na en ščit. In kralj jih je zložil v hiši libanonskega gozda.

¹⁷Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold.

¹⁷In kralj je napravil velik prestol iz slonovih kosti in ga je prevlekel s čistim zlatom.

¹⁸And there were six steps to the throne, with a footstool of gold, which were fastened to the throne, and stays on either side by the place of the seat, and two lions standing beside the stays.

¹⁸Imel je pa prestol šest stopnic, s podnožjem zlatim, priklenjenih k sebi, in dve naslonili na obeh straneh pri sedežu in dva leva, stoječa ob naslonilih.

¹⁹Twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other on the six steps: there was nothing like it made in any kingdom.

¹⁹In dvanajst levov je stalo na tej in na oni strani ob šesterih stopnicah; kaj takega ni bilo videti v nobenem kraljestvu.

²⁰All king Solomon’s drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold: silver was nothing accounted of in the days of Solomon.

²⁰Pa tudi vse posode, iz katerih je pil kralj Salomon, so bile zlate, in vsa oprava v hiši libanonskega gozda je bila iz čistega zlata; srebra niso nič čislali v dnevih Salomonovih.

²¹For the king had ships that went to Tarshish with the servants of Huram; once every three years came the ships of Tarshish, bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.

²¹Zakaj kralj je imel ladje, ki so vozile v Tarsis s hlapci Huramovimi; po enkrat v treh letih so dospevale tarske ladje, nesoč zlata in srebra, slonovih kosti, opic in pavov.

²²So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.

²²In kralj Salomon je nadkriljeval vse kralje na zemlji v bogastvu in v modrosti.

²³All the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.

²³In vsi kralji zemlje so hrepeneli po obličju Salomonovem, da bi slišali modrost njegovo, ki mu jo je dal Bog v srce.

²⁴They brought every man his tribute, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and clothing, armor, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year.

²⁴In prinašali so mu vsak darilo svoje: posode srebrne in posode zlate, oblačila, orožje in dišave, konje, mezge, vsako leto, kar je bilo pristojno.

²⁵Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, that he stationed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.

²⁵In Salomon je imel štiri tisoč stanov za konje in vozove ter dvanajst tisoč konjikov, ki jih je razstavil po voznih mestih in pri kralju v Jeruzalemu.

²⁶He ruled over all the kings from the River even to the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt.

²⁶In vladal je vsem kraljem od velereke do dežele Filistejcev in do meje Egipta.

²⁷The king made silver to be in Jerusalem as stones, and he made cedars to be as the sycamore trees that are in the lowland, for abundance.

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

²⁸They brought horses for Solomon out of Egypt, and out of all lands.

²⁸In konje so vodili Salomonu iz Egipta in iz vseh dežel.

²⁹Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last, aren’t they written in the history of Nathan the prophet, and in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Iddo the seer concerning Jeroboam the son of Nebat?

²⁹A druge zgodbe Salomonove, prve in poslednje, niso li zapisane v zgodovini Natana proroka in v prorokovanju Ahija Silonskega in v prikaznih Ida vidca o Jeroboamu, sinu Nebatovem?

³⁰Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years.

³⁰In Salomon je vladal v Jeruzalemu nad vsem Izraelom štirideset let.In Salomon je legel k očetom svojim in je bil pokopan v mestu Davida, očeta svojega; in Roboam, sin njegov, je zakraljeval na mestu njegovem.

³¹Solomon slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his place.

³¹In Salomon je legel k očetom svojim in je bil pokopan v mestu Davida, očeta svojega; in Roboam, sin njegov, je zakraljeval na mestu njegovem.
