2 Dungkrhoekhaih 9
1 Siangpahrang nongpata Sheba mah Solomon singpahrang ahmin amthanghaih to thaih naah, karai parai lokduenghaih hoi anih to tanoek hanah, hmuihoih hmuennawk, kapop parai suinawk, atho kana thlungnawk phawhhaih kaengkuu hrangnawk hoi a hnukbang kaminawk hoiah nawnto angzoh o; Solomon khaeah angzoh o moe, palung thung kaom a poekhaih to thuih pae.
Also, when the queen of Sheba had heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to Jerusalem, with great riches and with camels which were carrying aromatics, and very much gold, and precious gems, so that she might test him with enigmas. And when she had approached Solomon, she spoke to him all that was in her heart.
2 Anih mah dueng ih loknawk boih Solomon mah pathim pae; Solomon mah pathim thai ai ih karai parai hmuen tidoeh om ai.
And Solomon explained for her all that she had proposed. And there was nothing that he did not make clear to her.
3 Sheba siangpahrang nongpata mah Solomon palunghahaih hoiah sak ih siangpahrang im to hnuk moe,
And after she saw these things, specifically, the wisdom of Solomon, and the house which he had built,
4 caboi nui ih caaknaek, anih ih tamnanawk khosakhaih dan, a toksah kaminawk khosakhaih hoi khuekbuennawk, boengloeng sin kaminawk hoi nihcae ih khukbuennawk, Angraeng ih im ah angbawnhaih sak hanah hmuen tathlanghaihnawk to a hnuk naah dawnrai.
indeed also the foods of his table, and the habitations of the servants, and the duties of his ministers, and their apparel, and also his cupbearers and their garments, and the victims which he was immolating in the house of the Lord, there was no longer any spirit in her, due to astonishment.
5 Siangpahrang khaeah, Ka prae hoi ka thaih ih na sakthaih ih hmuen hoi palung na hahaihnawk loe oh tangtang;
And she said to the king: “The word is true, which I had heard in my own land, about your virtues and wisdom.
6 nihcae mah thuih ih loknawk to kaimah khaeh kang zoh moe, ka mik hoiah hnu ai karoek to ka tang ai; khenah, palung na hahaih ahap mataeng doeh kai khaeah na thui o ai vop; nang loe ka thaih ih ahmin amthanghaih pongah doeh amtlai kue.
I did not believe those who described it, until I had arrived and my eyes had seen, and I had proven that not even half of your wisdom had been described to me. You have exceeded your fame with your virtue.
7 Anghak ai ah na hmaa ah angdoe, na palunghahaih lok tahngai, na tamnanawk hoi nang ih kaminawk loe tahamhoih o!
Blessed are your men, and blessed are your servants, who stand before you at all times and listen to your wisdom.
8 Nangmah ih Angraeng Sithaw hanah siangpahrang ah oh moe, angmah ih angraeng tangkhang pongah anghnutsak hanah, na nuiah anghoehaih katawn, na Angraeng Sithaw loe tahamhoihaih om nasoe; na Sithaw loe Israel kaminawk to palung moe, toenghaih hoi katoeng ah lokcaek thai hanah, nihcae ukkung siangpahrang ah ang suek boeh, tiah a naa.
Blessed is the Lord your God, who willed to set you upon his throne as a king for the Lord your God. Since God loves Israel, he wishes to preserve them unto eternity. For this reason, he appointed you as king over them, so that you may accomplish judgment and justice.”
9 Siangpahrang nongpata Sheba mah siangpahrang hanah sui talent cumvaito pacoeng, pumphaeto, kapop parai hmuihoih hmuennawk hoi atho kana thlungnawk to paek; siangpahrang nongpata Sheba mah Solomon siangpahrang han paek ih hmuihoih baktiah kahoih kalah hmuihoih om vai ai vop.
Then she gave to the king one hundred twenty talents of gold, and an exceedingly great abundance of aromatics, and very precious gems. Never were there such aromatics as those that the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.
10 Ophir vangpui hoi sui kaphaw Huram ih tamnanawk hoi Solomon ih tamnanawk loe, algum thing hoi atho kana thlungnawk doeh phawh o.
Then too, the servants of Hiram, with the servants of Solomon, brought gold from Ophir, and wood from thyine trees, and very precious gems.
11 Siangpahrang mah algum thing hoiah Angraeng im ih thlak, siangpahrang im ih thlak, laasah kaminawk hanah katoeng hoi palaeng ah aput moe, aah ih katoengnawk doeh sak; canghniah to baktih hmuen Judah prae ah om vai ai vop.
And the king made, from this particular thyine wood, steps in the house of the Lord, and in the house of the king, and also harps and psalteries for the singing men. Never was there seen such wood in the land of Judah.
12 Siangpahrang nongpata Sheba mah paek ih tangqum pong kamtlai ah, Solomon siangpahrang mah siangpahrang nongpata Sheba mah koeh ih hmuen hoi hnik ih hmuennawk boih to paek. To pacoeng ah siangpahrang nongpata hoi anih ih tamnawnawk loe angmah prae ah nawnto amlaem o.
Then king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all that she desired, and all that she requested, and much more than what she had brought to him. And returning, she went away to her own land with her servants.
13 Saning kruek Solomon khaeah akun sui loe kazit talent cumvai taruk, quitaruk, tarukto oh.
Now the weight of the gold, which was being brought to Solomon throughout each year, was six hundred sixty-six talents of gold,
14 To khue ai hmuenmae zaw kaminawk, hmuenmae athlaeng kaminawk, Arab prae ih siangpahrangnawk hoi prae ukkung angraengnawk mah doeh sui hoi sumkanglungnawk to Solomon hanah sinh pae o bae vop.
apart from the sum that the legates of various nations and the merchants were accustomed to bring, and apart from the gold and silver that all the kings of Arabia, and the princes of the lands, were bringing together for Solomon.
15 Solomon siangpahrang mah caki hoi daengh ih sui hoiah aphaw cumvai hnetto sak, aphaw maeto naah sui shekel cumvai tarukto akunh.
And so, king Solomon made two hundred gold spears, from six hundred gold pieces, the amount used for each spear,
16 Aphaw cumvai thumto loe sui hoiah sak, aphaw maeto naah sui shekel cumvai thumto akunh; siangpahrang mah to hmuennawk to Lebanon tu thung ih thing hoiah sak ih siangpahrang im ah suek.
and also three hundred gold shields, from three hundred gold pieces, which covered each shield. And the king placed them in the armory, which was situated in a forest.
17 To pacoengah siangpahrang mah tasaino hoi angraeng tangkhang to sak moe, kaciim suitui hoiah pazut.
Also, the king made a great ivory throne, and he clothed it with the purest gold.
18 Angraeng tangkhang dawhhaih thlak sarihto oh moe, angraeng tangkhang ah paeh ih sui hoi sak ih khok koenghaih doeh oh; anghnuthaih hae bang hoi ho bangah ban koenghaih oh moe, a taengah angdoe kaipui hnetto oh.
And there were six steps, by which he would ascend to the throne, and a footstool of gold, and two arms, one on each side, and two lions standing beside the arms.
19 Hae bang hoi ho bang ih thlak tarukto pongah kaipui hatlai hnetto oh. To baktih angraeng tangkhang loe kalah siangpahrang ukhaih prae ah sah o vai ai vop.
Moreover, there were twelve additional little lions standing upon the six steps on both sides. There was no similar throne in all the kingdoms.
20 Solomon siangpahrang ih laom sabaenawk boih loe sui hoiah sak, Lebanon tu thung ih thing hoiah sak ih siangpahrang im ah patoh ih laom sabaenawk boih doeh sui hoiah ni sak; Solomon dung ah sumkanglung loe atho om ai pongah, kawbaktih hmuen doeh sumkanglung hoiah sah o ai.
Also, all the vessels for the feasts of the king were of gold, and the vessels of the forest house of Lebanon were from the purest gold. For silver in those days was considered as nothing.
21 Siangpahrang ih palongpuinawk loe Huram ih tamnanawk hoi nawnto Tashi vangpui bangah caeh o; Tarshi palongpuinawk loe saning thumto naah vaito amlaem o; palongpui hoiah sui, sumkanglung, tasai no, kalaih taqawknawk hoi tawtaaw tavaanawk to phawh o.
For indeed, the ships of the king went to Tarshish, with the servants of Hiram, once every three years. And they brought from there gold, and silver, and ivory, and primates, and peacocks.
22 Solomon loe long nuiah kaom siangpahrangnawk boih pongah angraeng moe, palungha kue.
And so, Solomon was magnified above all the kings of the earth in wealth and glory.
23 Sithaw mah Solomon palung thungah suek pae ih palunghahaih lok to tahngaih hanah, long nui ah kaom siangpahrangnawk boih, a hmaa ah angzoh o.
And all the kings of the lands were desiring to see the face of Solomon, so that they might hear the wisdom that God had granted to his heart.
24 Anih khaeah angzo kami boih mah, tangqum ah sui, sumkanglung hoi sak ih laom sabaenawk, khukbuennawk, misatukhaih hmuenmaenawk, hmuihoih hmuennawk, hrangnawk hoi mule hrangnawk to saning kruek paek o.
And they were bringing to him gifts, vessels of silver and of gold, and garments, and armor, and aromatics, and horses, and mules, throughout each year.
25 Solomon mah hrang hoi hrangleeng suekhaih ahmuen sang palito tawnh, vangpui hoi a ohhaih Jerusalem vangpui ah suek ih hrang lakok hoi hrang angthueng kami sang hatlaihnetto doeh a tawnh.
Also, Solomon had forty thousand horses in the stables, and twelve thousand chariots and horsemen, and he appointed them to the cities of the chariots, and where the king was in Jerusalem.
26 Anih mah vapui hoiah amtong moe, Philistin prae hoi Izip prae ramri khoek to siangpahrangnawk to uk.
Now he also exercised authority over all the kings from the river Euphrates as far as the land of the Philistines, and as far as the borders of Egypt.
27 Siangpahrang mah uk nathuem ah, sumkanglung loe Jerusalem ah thlung baktiah ni oh, Sidar thing doeh azawn ah kamprawk thaiba thing baktiah pop.
And he brought forth so much silver that it was as plentiful in Jerusalem as stones. And cedar trees were as great in number as the sycamores that spring up in the plains.
28 Izip prae hoi kalah prae thung boih ih hrangnawk to Solomon khaeah hoih pae o.
And horses were brought to him from Egypt and from every region.
29 Solomon hing thung sak ih hmuennawk loe, amtonghaih hoi boeng khoek to, tahmaa Nathan ih cabu, Shilo acaeng Ahijah ih cabu, Nebat capa Jeroboam kawng tarik tahmaa Iddo ih cabu thungah tarik o na ai maw?
Now the rest of the works of Solomon, the first and the last, have been written in the words of Nathan, the prophet, and in the books of Ahijah, the Shilonite, as well as in the vision of Iddo, the seer, against Jeroboam, the son of Nabat.
30 Solomon mah Jerusalem hoi Israel kaminawk to saning quipalito thung uk.
And Solomon reigned in Jerusalem, over all of Israel, for forty years.
31 To pacoengah ampanawk khaeah anghak moe, ampa David vangpui ah aphum o; anih zuengah a capa Rehoboam mah prae to uk.
And he slept with his fathers. And they buried him in the City of David. And his son, Rehoboam, reigned in his place.
