1 Sheba siangpahrang nongpata loe Solomon ahmin amthanghaih hoi Angraeng kawng to thaih naah, karai parai lokduenghaih hoiah anih to tanoek hanah angzoh.
And the queen of Saba heard of the name of Solomon, and the name of the Lord, and she came to try him with riddles.
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; and [there came] camels bearing spices, and very much gold, and precious stones: and she came in to Solomon, and told him all that was in her heart.
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 answered all her questions: and there was not a question overlooked by the king which he did not answer her.
4 Sheba siangpahrang nongpata mah Solomon palunghahaih hoiah sak ih siangpahrang imnawk,
And the queen of Saba saw all the wisdom of Solomon, and the house which he built,
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 provision of Solomon and the sitting of his attendants, and the standing of his servants, and his raiment, and his cupbearers, and his whole burnt offering which he offered in the house of the Lord, and she was utterly amazed.
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 king Solomon, [It was] a true report which I heard in my land of your words and your wisdom.
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 believed not them that told me, until I came and my eyes saw: and, behold, the words as they reported to me are not the half: you have exceeded in goodness all the report which I heard in my land.
8 Ni thokkruek na hmaa ah kaom, palunghahaih lok tahngai nangmah ih kaminawk, na tamnanawk loe paroeai tahamhoih o.
Blessed [are] your wives, blessed [are] these your servants who stand before you continually, who hear all your 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.
Blessed be the Lord your God, who has taken pleasure in you, to set you upon the throne of Israel, because the Lord loved Israel to establish [him] for ever; and he has made you king over them, to execute judgment with justice, and in their causes.
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 to Solomon a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and very many spices, and precious stones: there had not come any other spices so abundant as those which the queen of Saba gave to 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 ship of Chiram which brought the gold from Suphir, brought very much hewn timber and precious stones.
12 Siangpahrang mah almak thing hoiah Angraeng ih im homhnawk, siangpahrang im, laasah kaminawk hanah katoeng tamoinawk to sak.
And the king made the hewn timber [into] buttresses of the house of the Lord and the king's house, and lyres and harps for singers: such hewn timber had not come upon the earth, nor have been seen anywhere until 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 to the queen of Saba all that she desired, whatever she asked, besides all that he had given her by the hand of king Solomon: and she returned, and came into her own land, she and her servants.
14 Saningto thung Solomon khaeah kapha sui loe talent cumvai taruk, quitaruk, tarukto oh.
And the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold.
15 To pacoengah hmuenmae zaw kaminawk, hmuenmae athlaenghaih sah kaminawk, Arabia prae siangpahrangnawk hoi prae ukkungnawk mah paek ih sui doeh oh vop.
Besides the tributes of them that were subjects, both merchants and all the kings of the [country] beyond [the river], and of the princess of the land.
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 three hundred spears of beaten gold: three hundred shekels of gold were upon one spear.

And three hundred shields of beaten gold: and three pounds of gold were in one shield: and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
18 Siangpahrang mah angmah ih kalen pui angraeng tangkhang to tasaino hoiah sak moe, sui hoiah pazut boih.
And the king made a great ivory throne, and gilded it with pure gold.

The throne [had] six steps, and calves in bold relief to the throne behind it, and side-pieces on either hand of the place of the seat, and two lions standing by the side-pieces,
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 standing there on the six steps on either side: it was not so done in any [other] kingdom.

And all the vessels made by Solomon [were] of gold, and the lavers [were] golden, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold; there was no silver, for it was not accounted of in the days of 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 Solomon had a ship of Tharsis in the sea with the ships of Chiram: one ship came to the king every three years out of Tharsis, [laden with] gold and silver, and wrought stones, and hewn stones.
23 Solomon siangpahrang loe angraenghaih hoi palunghahaih bangah longnui ih siangpahrangnawk boih pongah sang kue.
And Solomon increased beyond all the kings of the earth in wealth and 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 all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom which the Lord [had] put into his heart.

And they brought every one their gifts, vessels of gold, and raiment, and stacte, and spices, and horses, and mules, a rate year by year.

And Solomon had four thousand mares for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen: and he put them in the cities of his chariots, and with the king in Jerusalem: and he ruled over all the kings from the river to the land of the Philistines, and to the borders of Egypt.
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 gold and silver in Jerusalem as stones, and he made cedars as the sycamores in the plain for multitude.
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 the goings forth of Solomon's horsemen [was] also out of Egypt, and the king's merchants [were] of Thecue; and they received them out of Thecue at a price.
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.
And that which proceeded out of Egypt went up [thus, even] a chariot for a hundred [shekels] of silver, and a horse for fifty [shekels] of silver: and thus for all the kings of the Chettians, and the kings of Syria, they came out by sea.
