| وَسَمِعَتْ مَلِكَةُ سَبَا بِخَبَرِ سُلَيْمَانَ، فَأَتَتْ لِتَمْتَحِنَ سُلَيْمَانَ بِمَسَائِلَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، بِمَوْكِبٍ عَظِيمٍ جِدًّا، وَجِمَالٍ حَامِلَةٍ أَطْيَابًا وَذَهَبًا بِكَثْرَةٍ وَحِجَارَةً كَرِيمَةً، فَأَتَتْ إِلَى سُلَيْمَانَ وَكَلَّمَتْهُ عَنْ كُلِّ مَا فِي قَلْبِهَا. | ١ 1 |
And the queen of Saba heard [of] the name of Solomon, and she came to Jerusalem with a very large force, to prove Solomon with hard questions, and [she had] camels bearing spices in abundance, and gold, and precious stones: and she came to Solomon, and told him all that was in her mind.
| فَأَخْبَرَهَا سُلَيْمَانُ بِكُلِّ كَلَامِهَا. وَلَمْ يُخْفَ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ أَمْرٌ إِلَّا وَأَخْبَرَهَا بِهِ. | ٢ 2 |
And Solomon told her all her words; and there passed not a word from Solomon which he told her not.
| فَلَمَّا رَأَتْ مَلِكَةُ سَبَا حِكْمَةَ سُلَيْمَانَ وَٱلْبَيْتَ ٱلَّذِي بَنَاهُ، | ٣ 3 |
And the queen of Saba saw the wisdom of Solomon, and the house which he had built,
| وَطَعَامَ مَائِدَتِهِ، وَمَجْلِسَ عَبِيدِهِ، وَمَوْقِفَ خُدَّامِهِ وَمَلَابِسَهُمْ، وَسُقَاتَهُ وَمَلَابِسَهُمْ، وَمُحْرَقَاتِهِ ٱلَّتِي كَانَ يُصْعِدُهَا فِي بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ، لَمْ تَبْقَ فِيهَا رُوحٌ بَعْدُ. | ٤ 4 |
and the meat of the tables, and the sitting of his servants, and the standing of his ministers, and their raiment; and his cupbearers, and their apparel; and the whole burnt offerings which he offered up in the house of the Lord; then she was in ecstasy.
| فَقَالَتْ لِلْمَلِكِ: «صَحِيحٌ ٱلْخَبَرُ ٱلَّذِي سَمِعْتُهُ فِي أَرْضِي عَنْ أُمُورِكَ وَعَنْ حِكْمَتِكَ. | ٥ 5 |
And she said to the king, [It was] a true report which I heard in my land concerning your words, and concerning your wisdom.
| وَلَمْ أُصَدِّقْ كَلَامَهُمْ حَتَّى جِئْتُ وَأَبْصَرَتْ عَيْنَايَ، فَهُوَذَا لَمْ أُخْبَرْ بِنِصْفِ كَثْرَةِ حِكْمَتِكَ. زِدْتَ عَلَى ٱلْخَبَرِ ٱلَّذِي سَمِعْتُهُ. | ٦ 6 |
Yet I believed not the reports until I came, and my eyes saw: and, behold, the half of the abundance of your wisdom was not told me: you have exceeded the report which I heard.
| فَطُوبَى لِرِجَالِكَ وَطُوبَى لِعَبِيدِكَ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلْوَاقِفِينَ أَمَامَكَ دَائِمًا وَٱلسَّامِعِينَ حِكْمَتَكَ. | ٧ 7 |
Blessed [are] your men, blessed [are] these your servants, who stand before you continually, and hear your wisdom.
| لِيَكُنْ مُبَارَكًا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ ٱلَّذِي سُرَّ بِكَ وَجَعَلَكَ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّهِ مَلِكًا لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ. لِأَنَّ إِلَهَكَ أَحَبَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ لِيُثْبِتَهُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، قَدْ جَعَلَكَ عَلَيْهِمْ مَلِكًا، لِتُجْرِيَ حُكْمًا وَعَدْلًا». | ٨ 8 |
Blessed be the Lord your God, who took pleasure in you, to set you upon his throne for a king, to the Lord your God: forasmuch as the Lord your God loved Israel to establish them for ever, therefore he has set you over them for a king to execute judgement and justice.
| وَأَهْدَتْ لِلْمَلِكِ مِئَةً وَعِشْرِينَ وَزْنَةَ ذَهَبٍ وَأَطْيَابًا كَثِيرَةً جِدًّا وَحِجَارَةً كَرِيمَةً، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ ٱلطِّيبِ ٱلَّذِي أَهْدَتْهُ مَلِكَةُ سَبَا لِلْمَلِكِ سُلَيْمَانَ. | ٩ 9 |
And she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices in very great abundance, and precious stones: and there were not [any where else] such spices as those which the queen of Saba gave king Solomon.
| وَكَذَا عَبِيدُ حُورَامَ وَعَبِيدُ سُلَيْمَانَ ٱلَّذِينَ جَلَبُوا ذَهَبًا مِنْ أُوفِيرَ أَتَوْا بِخَشَبِ ٱلصَّنْدَلِ وَحِجَارَةٍ كَرِيمَةٍ. | ١٠ 10 |
And the servants of Solomon and the servants of Chiram brought gold to Solomon out of Suphir, and pine timber, and precious stones.
| وَعَمِلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ خَشَبَ ٱلصَّنْدَلِ دَرَجًا لِبَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَبَيْتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ، وَأَعْوَادًا وَرَبَابًا، وَلَمْ يُرَ مِثْلُهَا قَبْلُ فِي أَرْضِ يَهُوذَا. | ١١ 11 |
And the king made of the pine timber steps to the house of the Lord, and to the king's house, and harps and lutes for the singers: and such were not seen before in the land of Juda.
| وَأَعْطَى ٱلْمَلِكُ سُلَيْمَانُ مَلِكَةَ سَبَا كُلَّ مُشْتَهَاهَا ٱلَّذِي طَلَبَتْ، فَضْلًا عَمَّا أَتَتْ بِهِ إِلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ. فَٱنْصَرَفَتْ وَذَهَبَتْ إِلَى أَرْضِهَا هِيَ وَعَبِيدُهَا. | ١٢ 12 |
And king Solomon gave to the queen of Saba all that she requested, besides all that she brought to king Solomon: and she returned to her [own] land.
| وَكَانَ وَزْنُ ٱلذَّهَبِ ٱلَّذِي جَاءَ سُلَيْمَانَ فِي سَنَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ، سِتَّ مِئَةٍ وَسِتًّا وَسِتِّينَ وَزْنَةَ ذَهَبٍ، | ١٣ 13 |
And the weight of the gold that was brought to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold,
| فَضْلًا عَنِ ٱلَّذِي جَاءَ بِهِ ٱلتُّجَّارُ وَٱلْمُسْتَبْضِعُونَ. وَكُلُّ مُلُوكِ ٱلْعَرَبِ وَوُلَاةُ ٱلْأَرْضِ كَانُوا يَأْتُونَ بِذَهَبٍ وَفِضَّةٍ إِلَى سُلَيْمَانَ. | ١٤ 14 |
besides what the men who were regularly appointed and the merchants brought, and all the kings of Arabia and princes of the land: all brought gold and silver to king Solomon.
| وَعَمِلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ سُلَيْمَانُ مِئَتَيْ تُرْسٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ مُطَرَّقٍ، خَصَّ ٱلتُّرْسَ ٱلْوَاحِدَ سِتُّ مِئَةِ شَاقِلٍ مِنَ ٱلذَّهَبِ ٱلْمُطَرَّقِ، | ١٥ 15 |
And king Solomon made two hundred shields of beaten gold: there were six hundred [shekels] of pure gold to one shield.
| وَثَلَاثَ مِئَةِ مِجَنٍّ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ مُطَرَّقٍ، خَصَّ ٱلْمِجَنَّ ٱلْوَاحِدَ ثَلَاثُ مِئَةِ شَاقِلٍ مِنَ ٱلذَّهَبِ. وَجَعَلَهَا ٱلْمَلِكُ فِي بَيْتِ وَعْرِ لُبْنَانَ. | ١٦ 16 |
And three hundred buckles of beaten gold: [the weight] of three hundred gold shekels went to one buckler: and the king placed them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
| وَعَمِلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ كُرْسِيًّا عَظِيمًا مِنْ عَاجٍ وَغَشَّاهُ بِذَهَبٍ خَالِصٍ. | ١٧ 17 |
And the king made a great throne of ivory, and he gilded it with pure gold.
| وَلِلْكُرْسِيِّ سِتُّ دَرَجَاتٍ. وَلِلْكُرْسِيِّ مَوْطِئٌ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ كُلُّهَا مُتَّصِلَةٌ، وَيَدَانِ مِنْ هُنَا وَمِنْ هُنَاكَ عَلَى مَكَانِ ٱلْجُلُوسِ، وَأَسَدَانِ وَاقِفَانِ بِجَانِبِ ٱلْيَدَيْنِ. | ١٨ 18 |
And [there were] six steps to the throne, riveted with gold, and elbows on either side of the seat of the throne, and two lions standing by the elbows:
| وَٱثْنَا عَشَرَ أَسَدًا وَاقِفَةٌ هُنَاكَ عَلَى ٱلدَّرَجَاتِ ٱلسِّتِّ مِنْ هُنَا وَمِنْ هُنَاكَ. لَمْ يُعْمَلْ مِثْلُهُ فِي جَمِيعِ ٱلْمَمَالِكِ. | ١٩ 19 |
and twelve lions standing there on the six steps on each side. There was not the like in any [other] kingdom.
| وَجَمِيعُ آنِيَةِ شُرْبِ ٱلْمَلِكِ سُلَيْمَانَ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، وَجَمِيعُ آنِيَةِ بَيْتِ وَعْرِ لُبْنَانَ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ خَالِصٍ. لَمْ تُحْسَبِ ٱلْفِضَّةُ شَيْئًا فِي أَيَّامِ سُلَيْمَانَ، | ٢٠ 20 |
And all king Solomon's vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were covered with gold: silver was not thought anything of in the days of Solomon.
| لِأَنَّ سُفُنَ ٱلْمَلِكِ كَانَتْ تَسِيرُ إِلَى تَرْشِيشَ مَعَ عَبِيدِ حُورَامَ، وَكَانَتْ سُفُنُ تَرْشِيشَ تَأْتِي مَرَّةً فِي كُلِّ ثَلَاثِ سِنِينَ حَامِلَةً ذَهَبًا وَفِضَّةً وَعَاجًا وَقُرُودًا وَطَوَاوِيسَ. | ٢١ 21 |
For a ship went for the king to Tharsis with the servants of Chiram: once every three years came vessels from Tharsis to the king, laden with gold, and silver, and ivory, and apes.
| فَتَعَظَّمَ ٱلْمَلِكُ سُلَيْمَانُ عَلَى كُلِّ مُلُوكِ ٱلْأَرْضِ فِي ٱلْغِنَى وَٱلْحِكْمَةِ. | ٢٢ 22 |
And Solomon exceeded all [other] kings both in riches and wisdom.
| وَكَانَ جَمِيعُ مُلُوكِ ٱلْأَرْضِ يَلْتَمِسُونَ وَجْهَ سُلَيْمَانَ لِيَسْمَعُوا حِكْمَتَهُ ٱلَّتِي جَعَلَهَا ٱللهُ فِي قَلْبِهِ. | ٢٣ 23 |
And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
| وَكَانُوا يَأْتُونَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ بِهَدِيَّتِهِ، بِآنِيَةِ فِضَّةٍ وَآنِيَةِ ذَهَبٍ وَحُلَلٍ وَسِلَاحٍ وَأَطْيَابٍ وَخَيْلٍ وَبِغَالٍ سَنَةً فَسَنَةً. | ٢٤ 24 |
And they brought every one his gifts, silver vessels and golden vessels, and raiment, myrrh and spices, horses and mules, a rate every year.
| وَكَانَ لِسُلَيْمَانَ أَرْبَعَةُ آلَافِ مِذْوَدِ خَيْلٍ وَمَرْكَبَاتٍ، وَٱثْنَا عَشَرَ أَلْفَ فَارِسٍ، فَجَعَلَهَا فِي مُدُنِ ٱلْمَرْكَبَاتِ وَمَعَ ٱلْمَلِكِ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ. | ٢٥ 25 |
And Solomon had four thousand mares for chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen; and he put them in the chariot cities, and with the king in Jerusalem.
| وَكَانَ مُتَسَلِّطًا عَلَى جَمِيعِ ٱلْمُلُوكِ مِنَ ٱلنَّهْرِ إِلَى أَرْضِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ وَإِلَى تُخُومِ مِصْرَ. | ٢٦ 26 |
And he rules over all the kings from the river even to the land of the Philistines, and to the borders of Egypt.
| وَجَعَلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ ٱلْفِضَّةَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ مِثْلَ ٱلْحِجَارَةِ، وَجَعَلَ ٱلْأَرْزَ مِثْلَ ٱلْجُمَّيْزِ ٱلَّذِي فِي ٱلسَّهْلِ فِي ٱلْكَثْرَةِ. | ٢٧ 27 |
And the king made gold and silver in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars as the sycamore trees in the plain for abundance.
| وَكَانَ مُخْرَجُ خَيْلِ سُلَيْمَانَ مِنْ مِصْرَ وَمِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلْأَرَاضِي. | ٢٨ 28 |
And Solomon imported horses from Egypt, and from every [other] country.
| وَبَقِيَّةُ أُمُورِ سُلَيْمَانَ ٱلْأُولَى وَٱلْأَخِيرَةِ، أَمَاهِيَ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِي أَخْبَارِ نَاثَانَ ٱلنَّبِيِّ، وَفِي نُبُوَّةِ أَخِيَّا ٱلشِّيلُونِيِّ، وَفِي رُؤَى يَعْدُو ٱلرَّائِي عَلَى يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ نَبَاطَ؟ | ٢٩ 29 |
And the rest of the acts of Solomon, the first and the last, behold, these are written in the words of Nathan the prophet, and in the words of Achia the Selonite, and in the visions of Joel the seer concerning Jeroboam the son of Nabat.
| وَمَلَكَ سُلَيْمَانُ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ عَلَى كُلِّ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً. | ٣٠ 30 |
And Solomon reigned over all Israel forty years.
| ثُمَّ ٱضْطَجَعَ سُلَيْمَانُ مَعَ آبَائِهِ فَدَفَنُوهُ فِي مَدِينَةِ دَاوُدَ أَبِيهِ. وَمَلَكَ رَحُبْعَامُ ٱبْنُهُ عِوَضًا عَنْهُ. | ٣١ 31 |
And Solomon fell asleep, and they buried him in the city of David his father: and Roboam his son reigned in his stead.
