1 Siangpahrang 10

1 Sheba siangpahrang nongpata loe Solomon ahmin amthanghaih hoi Angraeng kawng to thaih naah, karai parai lokduenghaih hoiah anih to tanoek hanah angzoh.

Now the queen of Sheba, hearing great things of Solomon, came to put his wisdom to the test with hard questions.

2 Paroeai pop tahnongsawk hrang hoi Jerusalem ah a phak naah, hmuihoih hmuennawk, paroeai pop sui hoi atho kaom thlungnawk to phawhsak moe, Solomon khaeah a caeh; angmah ih palung thungah kaom a poekhaihnawk to Solomon khaeah thuih pae boih.

And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels weighted down with spices, and stores of gold and jewels: and when she came to Solomon she had talk with him of everything in her mind.

3 Anih mah dueng ih loknawk to Solomon mah pathim pae boih; a lokduenghaih thungah siangpahrang mah pathim thai ih lok maeto doeh om ai.

And Solomon gave her answers to all her questions; there was no secret which the king did not make clear to her.

4 Sheba siangpahrang nongpata mah Solomon palunghahaih hoiah sak ih siangpahrang imnawk,

And when the queen of Sheba had seen all the wisdom of Solomon, and the house which he had made,

5 anih caboi nui ih caaknaeknawk, a tamnanawk anghnuthaih ahmuennawk, a tok sahkung tamnanawk ih khukbuennawk, anih ih boengloeng sin kami hoi Angraeng imthungah hmai hoi sak ih angbawnhaihnawk to a hnuk naah, dawnraihaih hoiah oh sut.

And the food at his table, and all his servants seated there, and those who were waiting on him in their places, and their robes, and his wine-servants, and the burned offerings which he made in the house of the Lord, there was no more spirit in her.

6 Anih mah siangpahrang khaeah, Ka prae hoi ka thaih ih na sak ih hmuennawk hoi palung na hahaihnawk loe, tangtang ni, tiah a naa.

And she said to the king, The account which was given to me in my country of your acts and your wisdom was true.

7 Toe hae hmuen hae kaimah roe kang zoh moe, ka mik hoiah hnu ai karoek to, ka tang ai; khenah, hae ih hmuen kawngnawk ahap mataeng doeh kai khaeah na thui o ai vop; ka thaih ih hmuen pongah palung na hahaih hoi na tawnh ih hmuenmaenawk hae pop kue.

But I had no faith in what was said about you, till I came and saw for myself; and now I see that it was not half the story; your wisdom and your wealth are much greater than they said.

8 Ni thokkruek na hmaa ah kaom, palunghahaih lok tahngai nangmah ih kaminawk, na tamnanawk loe paroeai tahamhoih o.

Happy are your wives, happy are these your servants whose place is ever before you, hearing your words of wisdom.

9 Nang to palung moe, Israel kaminawk nuiah siangpahrang ah suemkung, Angraeng na Sithaw loe tahamhoihaih om nasoe; Angraeng mah Israel hae dungzan khoek to palung pongah, toenghaih hoiah kamsoem ah toksak hanah, nang hae siangpahrang ah ang suek boeh, tiah a naa.

May the Lord your God be praised, whose pleasure it was to put you on the seat of the kingdom of Israel; because the Lord's love for Israel is eternal, he has made you king, to be their judge in righteousness.

10 Anih mah siangpahrang hanah sui talent cumvaito pacoeng, pumphaeto, hmuihoih paroeai hoi atho kana thlungnawk to paek; Sheba siangpahrang nongpata mah Solomon hanah sin pae ih hmuihoih zetto mi mah doeh sin pae vai ai vop.

And she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and a great store of spices and jewels: never again was such a wealth of spices seen as that which the queen of Sheba gave King Solomon.

11 Hiram ih palongpui mah doeh Ophir hoiah suinawk to sin pae o; to ahmuen hoiah almak thing hoi atho kana thlungnawk doeh sin o.

And the sea-force of Hiram, in addition to gold from Ophir, came back with much sandal-wood and jewels.

12 Siangpahrang mah almak thing hoiah Angraeng ih im homhnawk, siangpahrang im, laasah kaminawk hanah katoeng tamoinawk to sak.

And from the sandal-wood the king made pillars for the house of the Lord, and for the king's house, and instruments of music for the makers of melody: never has such sandal-wood been seen to this day.

13 Solomon siangpahrang loe Sheba siangpahrang nongpata mah hnik ih hmuennawk to paek boih; siangpahrang mah tawnh ih hmuennawk to paek pacoengah, a hnik ih kalah hmuennawk doeh paek boih bae vop. To pacoengah ni angmah hoi angmah ih ampuinawk hoi nawnto angmah prae ah amlaem vop.

And King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she made request for, in addition to what he gave her freely from the impulse of his heart. So she went back to her country, she and her servants.

14 Saningto thung Solomon khaeah kapha sui loe talent cumvai taruk, quitaruk, tarukto oh.

Now the weight of gold which came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents;

15 To pacoengah hmuenmae zaw kaminawk, hmuenmae athlaenghaih sah kaminawk, Arabia prae siangpahrangnawk hoi prae ukkungnawk mah paek ih sui doeh oh vop.

In addition to what came to him from the business of the traders, and from all the kings of the Arabians, and from the rulers of the country.

16 Solomon siangpahrang loe sui coi tarukto hoiah misa angvaenghaih aphaw cumvai hnetto a sak, aphaw maeto naah shekel cumvai tarukto akunh.

And Solomon made two hundred body-covers of hammered gold, every one having six hundred shekels of gold in it.

17 Sui hoi sak ih kathoeng kue aphaw doeh cumvai thumto oh vop; aphaw maeto naah sui boengloeng thumto akunh; to aphawnawk loe siangpahrang mah Lebanon tu thung ih thing hoiah sak ih siangpahrang im ah a suek.

And he made three hundred smaller body-covers of hammered gold, with three pounds of gold in every cover: and the king put them in the house of the Woods of Lebanon.

18 Siangpahrang mah angmah ih kalen pui angraeng tangkhang to tasaino hoiah sak moe, sui hoiah pazut boih.

Then the king made a great ivory seat, plated with the best gold.

19 Angraeng tangkhang ah dawhhaih thlak tarukto oh, ranui koek ih angraeng tangkhang a hnukbangah loe angbuet luet; angraeng tangkhang hae bang hoi ho bangah ban koenghaih oh hmaek; ban koenghaih taengah kaipui hnetto angdoet.

There were six steps going up to it, and the top of it was round at the back, there were arms on the two sides of the seat, and two lions by the side of the arms;

20 Thlak tarukto ranui ataeng boih ah kaipui hatlaihnetto angdoet o; naa ih prae ah doeh to tiah sah o vai ai vop.

And twelve lions were placed on the one side and on the other side on the six steps: there was nothing like it in any kingdom.

21 Solomon siangpahrang ih boengloengnawk loe sui hoiah ni sak boih; Lebanon tu thung ih thing hoiah sak ih siangpahrang imthungah patoh ih laom sabaenawk loe sui hoiah ni sak boih; Solomon adung ah sumkanglung hoi sak ih hmuennawk loe atho kaom ah poek o ai pongah, sumkanglung hoiah sak ih hmuen tidoeh om ai.

And all King Solomon's drinking-vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the Woods of Lebanon were of the best gold; not one was of silver, for no one gave a thought to silver in the days of King Solomon.

22 Siangpahrang loe Tarshish ih palongpuinawk to Hiram ih palongpuinawk hoi nawnto tuipui ah a suek; to Tasrshish palongpui loe saning thumto naah vaito amlaem moe, sui, sumkanglung, tasaino, kalaih hoi tawta-aw tavaanawk to a phawh.

For the king had Tarshish-ships at sea with the ships of Hiram; once every three years the Tarshish-ships came with gold and silver and ivory and monkeys and peacocks.

23 Solomon siangpahrang loe angraenghaih hoi palunghahaih bangah longnui ih siangpahrangnawk boih pongah sang kue.

And King Solomon was greater than all the kings of the earth in wealth and in wisdom.

24 Sithaw mah anih ih palung thung suek pae ih, palunghahaih lok tahngai hanah long nui ih kaminawk boih, Solomon khaeah angzoh o.

And from all over the earth they came to see Solomon and to give ear to his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.

25 Saning kruek anih khaeah angzo kaminawk boih mah tangqum, sui hoi sak ih laom sabae, sumkanglung hoi sak ih laom sabaenawk, khukbuennawk, maiphaw maicanawk, hmuihoihnawk, hrang hoi mule hrangnawk to sin pae o.

And everyone took with him an offering, vessels of silver and vessels of gold, and robes, and coats of metal, and spices, and horses, and beasts of transport, regularly year by year.

26 Solomon siangpahrang mah hrang hoi hrang lakoknawk to nawnto pakhuengh; hrang lakok sang cumvai pali, hrang hoi misatuh kami sang hatlaihnetto a tawnh; to hmuennawk to hrang lakok suekhaih vangpui ah a suek moe, Jerusalem ah doeh angmah khaeah a suek.

And Solomon got together war-carriages and horsemen; he had one thousand, four hundred carriages and twelve thousand horsemen, whom he kept, some in the carriage-towns and some with the king at Jerusalem.

27 Siangpahrang mah sumkanglungnawk to thlung rumram baktiah Jerusalem vangpui ah suek moe, tahawt thungah kaom thaibaa thing baktiah cidar thingdoeh a tawnh mangh.

And the king made silver as common as stones in Jerusalem and cedars like the sycamore-trees of the lowlands in number.

28 Izip prae Kue vangpui hoiah Solomon siangpahrang khaeah hrangnawk to zawh pae o; siangpahrang ih hmuenmae zaw kaminawk loe Kue vangpui ih hrangnawk to phoisa hoiah qanh o.

And Solomon's horses came from Egypt and from Kue; the king's traders got them at a price from Kue.

29 Hrang lakok maeto naah Izip prae ah phoisa shekel cumvai tarukto a paek moe, hrang maeto naah phoisa shekel cumvai quipangato hoiah qanh o; to hmuennawk to Hit kaminawk hoi Syria kaminawk khaeah doeh a zawh o.

A war-carriage might be got from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty; they got them at the same rate for all the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Aram.
