The queen of Sheba heard how famous Solomon was, so she came to Jerusalem to test him with tough questions. She brought with her a very large entourage, with camels loaded with spices, large amounts of gold, and precious gemstones. She came to Solomon and asked him about everything she had on her mind.
2 Anih mah dueng ih loknawk boih Solomon mah pathim pae; Solomon mah pathim thai ai ih karai parai hmuen tidoeh om ai.
Solomon answered all her questions. There was nothing he couldn't explain to her.
3 Sheba siangpahrang nongpata mah Solomon palunghahaih hoiah sak ih siangpahrang im to hnuk moe,
When the queen of Sheba saw Solomon's wisdom, and the palace 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.
the food on the table, how his officials lived, how his servants operated and how they were dressed, the clothes of the waiters, and the burnt offerings he presented at the Lord's Temple, she was so astonished she could hardly breathe.
5 Siangpahrang khaeah, Ka prae hoi ka thaih ih na sakthaih ih hmuen hoi palung na hahaihnawk loe oh tangtang;
She told the king, “It's true what I heard in my own country about your proverbs and your 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.
But I didn't believe what they told me until I came and saw with my own eyes. In fact, I wasn't told the half of it—the extent of your wisdom far exceeds what I heard!
7 Anghak ai ah na hmaa ah angdoe, na palunghahaih lok tahngai, na tamnanawk hoi nang ih kaminawk loe tahamhoih o!
How happy your people must be! How happy those who work for you, who stand here every day listening to your wisdom!

Praise the Lord your God who is so pleased with you, who placed you on his throne as king to rule on his behalf. Because of the love of your God for Israel he has made them secure forever, and he has made you king over them to do what is fair and right.”

She presented the king with one hundred and twenty talents of gold, huge amounts of spices and precious stones. Never before had there been spices like those 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.
(Hiram and of Solomon's men, who brought gold from Ophir, also brought algum wood and precious stones.
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.
The king used the algum wood to make steps for the Temple and for the royal palace, and into lyres and harps for the musicians. Nothing like them had ever been seen before in the land of Judah.)

King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba all wanted, whatever she asked for. This was far more than she had brought the king. Then she and her attendants returned home to her own country.
13 Saning kruek Solomon khaeah akun sui loe kazit talent cumvai taruk, quitaruk, tarukto oh.
The weight of gold that Solomon received each year was 666 talents,
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.
not including that received from traders and merchants. All the kings of Arabia and governors of the land also brought gold and silver to Solomon.
15 Solomon siangpahrang mah caki hoi daengh ih sui hoiah aphaw cumvai hnetto sak, aphaw maeto naah sui shekel cumvai tarukto akunh.
King Solomon made two hundred shields of hammered gold. Each shield required six hundred shekels of hammered gold.

He also made three hundred small shields of hammered gold. Each of these shields required three hundred gold coins. The king placed them in the Palace of the Forest of Lebanon.
17 To pacoengah siangpahrang mah tasaino hoi angraeng tangkhang to sak moe, kaciim suitui hoiah pazut.
The king also made a great throne of ivory, and covered it with pure gold.

The throne had six steps, with a golden footstool attached. There were armrests on both sides of the seat, with lions standing beside the armrests.
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.
Twelve lions stood on the six steps, one on opposite ends of each step. Nothing like this had ever been made for any kingdom.

All of King Solomon's drinking cups were gold, and all the utensils of the Palace of the Forest of Lebanon were pure gold. No silver was used, because it was not valued in the days of Solomon.
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.
The king had a fleet of ships from Tarshish crewed by Hiram's sailors. Once every three years the ships of Tarshish would arrive with a cargo of gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks.

King Solomon was greater than any other king on earth in wealth and wisdom.

He ruled over all the kings from the Euphrates River to the land of the Philistines, and to the border with 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.
The king made silver as plentiful in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar wood as plentiful as sycamore-figs in the foothills.
