1 Manghai 10

1 BOEIPA ming dongah Solomon kah olthang te Sheba manghainu loh a yaak vaengah olkael neh anih te noemcai ham ha pawk.

And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon in connection with the name of the Lord, she came to prove him with riddles.

2 Jerusalem la tatthai a muep ayet neh, botui neh sui muep a yet, lung vang aka phuei kalauk neh pawk. Solomon taengla a pha vaengah a thinko ah a om bangla a cungkuem te a taengah a thui pah.

And she came to Jerusalem with an exceedingly great train, with camels bearing spices, and gold in great abundance, and precious stones: and when she was come to Solomon, she spoke with him of all that was on her heart.

3 Anih ol boeih te Solomon loh a taengah a hlat pah. Anih taengah a hlat pah pawt ham khaw manghai ham ol a hlael a om moenih.

And Solomon solved [for] her all her questions: nothing remained hidden from the king, which he did not tell her.

4 Sheba manghainu loh Solomon kah cueihnah cungkuem neh im a sak te khaw,

And when the queen of Sheba saw all Solomon's wisdom, and the house that he had built,

5 a caboei dongkah caak neh a sal rhoek kah ngolhmuen, ngolhmuen dongah aka thotat rhoek kah a thohtat, a hnicu neh a tuitul rhoek, BOEIPA im kah a nawn a hmueihhlutnah te ahmuh vaengah a khuiah a mueihla om voel pawh.

And the food of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel, and his cup-bearers, and his ascent by which he went up unto the house of the Lord: there was no more spirit in her.

6 Te dongah manghai te, “Nang kah olka neh nang kah cueihnah he kamah kho ah ka yaak bangla olthang he oltak la om coeng.

And she said to the king, The truth only was the word that I heard in my own land of thy acts and of thy wisdom.

7 Ka pawk hlan hil tah olka la ka tangnah moenih, ka mik loh a hmuh vaengah tah kai hamla rhakthuem pataeng a thui moenih ko he. Olthang ka yaak lakah khaw cueihnah neh kawnthen neh na coih.

And I believed not in the words, until I came, and my eyes saw [all]: and, behold, the half hath not been told me; thou excellest in wisdom and prosperity the report which I have heard.

8 Na hlang rhoek loh a yoethen, na sal rhoek khaw a yoethen, na mikhmuh kah aka pai rhoek khaw na cueihnah a yaak uh taitu.

Happy are thy men, happy are these thy servants, who stand before thee continually, who hear thy wisdom.

9 Nang dongah hmae tih BOEIPA loh kumhal hil Israel a lungnah dongah Israel ngolkhoel dongah nang aka khueh BOEIPA na Pathen tah a yoethen pai. Te dongah nang te tiktamnah neh duengnah saii ham ni manghai la ng'khueh,” a ti nah.

Blessed be the Lord thy God, who hath had delight in thee, to place thee on the throne of Israel; because the Lord loveth Israel for ever, therefore hath he made thee king, to do justice and righteousness.

10 Te vaengah manghai taengla a paek te sui talent ya pakul lo tih botui neh lung vang khaw bahoeng yet. Sheba manghainu loh manghai Solomon taengah a khawk la apaek botui bang he koep a phoe noek moenih.

And she gave to the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices a very great store, and precious stones: there came no more spices in such abundance as these which the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.

11 Khiram kah sangpho long khaw Ophir lamkah sui a khuen pah. Ophir lamloh a khuen almak thing neh lung vang khaw bahoeng yet.

And also the ship of Hiram, that fetched gold from Ophir, brought in from Ophir in great abundance sandal-wood and precious stones.

12 Manghai loh almak thing te BOEIPA im neh manghai im kah longkawn la, laa aka sa rhoek ham rhotoeng neh thangpa la a saii pah. Tahae khohnin due almak thing te yet te om noek pawt tih a hmuh noek moneih.

And the king made of the sandal-wood a railing for the house of the Lord, and for the king's house, and harps and psalteries for the singers: there came no such sandal-wood, nor was it seen [again] until this day.

13 Manghai Solomon loh manghainu Sheba te a kongaih boeih a rhoi pah. Solomon manghai kah kutmuei voel ah anih te a bih sarhui a paek thil pueng. Te phoeiah anih te mael tih a sal rhoek neh amah kho la cet.

And king Solomon gave unto the queen of Sheba all her pleasure, whatsoever she asked, beside what Solomon gave her of his royal bounty. So she turned about and went to her own country, she and her servants.

14 Kum khat ah Solomon taengah aka pawk sui he a khiing sui talent ya rhuk sawmrhuk parhuk lo.

Now the weight of the gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty and six talents of gold,

15 Long yaam hlang rhoek taeng lamkah khaw, thimpom hlaikannah kah khaw, Arabia manghai rhoek boeih neh khohmuen rhalboei rhoek lamkah khaw om pueng.

Beside [what he had] of the traveling tradesmen, and of the traffic of the merchants, and of the kings of confederate nations, and of the governors of the country.

16 Manghai Solomon loh Sui photlinglen yahnih a saii tih photlinglen pakhat dongah sui ya rhuk cet la a boh.

And king Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold: six hundred shekels of gold he used for each one target.

17 Sui photlingca te ya thum lo tih photlingca khat dongah sui mina pathum cet la a boh. Te rhoek te manghai loh Lebanon duup im ah a khueh.

And [he made] three hundred shields of beaten gold; three manehs of gold he used for each one shield: and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.

18 Manghai loh vueino ngolkhoel len khaw a saii tih sui cilh neh a ben thil.

The king also made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with the best gold.

19 Ngolkhoel dongla tangtlaeng parhuk om tih ngolkhoel kah a hnuk sampoeng tah pumrhuelh. Ngolnah hmuen kah khatben khatbang ah a kut om tih a kut kaep ah sathueng pumnit pai.

The throne had six steps, and there was a round top on the throne behind; and there were arms on either side on the place of the seat, and two lions stood beside the arms.

20 Tangtlaeng parhuk dongkah khatben khatbang ah aka pai sathueng te pum hlai nit lo. Ram tom ah te bang te a saii uh moenih.

And twelve lions stood there upon the six steps on both sides: there was not the like made in any other kingdom.

21 Manghai Solomon kah tui-ok hnopai boeih he sui tih Lebanon duup im kah hnopai boeih khaw sui cilh ni. Solomon tue vaengah tah cak he hno khat la a ngai pawt dongah nuen sak pawh.

And all king Solomon's drinking-vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold; none were of silver; it was not valued in the days of Solomon at the least.

22 Manghai kah Tarshish sangpho khaw tuipuei kah Khiram sangpho neh kum thum ah vai a voei pah. Tarshish sangpho loh sui neh cak khaw, vueino neh kaipoeh khaw, varhing khaw a phueih pah.

For the king had a Tharshish-ship at sea with the ship of Hiram: once in three years the Tharshish-ship used to come home, laden with gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.

23 Solomon manghai he diklai manghai boeih lakah khuehtawn dongah khaw, cueihnah dongah khaw khuet coeng.

And king Solomon became greater than all the kings of the earth for riches and for wisdom.

24 Pathen loh a lungbuei ah a khueh pah a cueihnah te hnatun hamla diklai boeih loh Solomon kah maelhmai te a toem uh.

And [men of] all the earth sought the presence of Solomon to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.

25 Amih loh a khocang la cak hnopai, sui hno, himbai, lungpok haica, botui, marhang neh muli-marhang khaw, a kum kum ah rhip a thak uh.

And they brought every man his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and armor, and spices, horses, and mules: and so year by year.

26 Solomon loh leng neh marhang caem te a coi tih amah taengah leng thawng khat ya li neh marhang caem thawng hlai nit om. Te rhoek te leng khopuei rhoek neh Jerusalem kah manghai taengah a pael.

And Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, whom he quartered in the cities for chariots, and near the king at Jerusalem.

27 Manghai loh cak te Jerusalem ah lungto bangla a khueh tih lamphai te kolrhawk kah aka ding thaihae bangla a hmoek.

And the king rendered the silver in Jerusalem like stones, and the cedars he rendered like the sycamore-trees that are in the lowlands, for abundance.

28 Solomon taengah marhang kah pongthohnah dongah Egypt lamkah neh Kue lamkah khaw a loh. Manghai ham aka thimpom rhoek loh Kue lamkah te a phu la a loh uh.

And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt; and a company of the king's merchants bought a quantity at a price.

29 Egypt lamkah leng pakhat ah tangka ya rhuk la, marhang te ya sawmnga la a loh tih a khuen sak. Te tlam te Khitti manghai boeih taeng neh Aram manghai rhoek taengah khaw a kut dongah a khuen sakuh.

And a chariot-team came up and went out of Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty: and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, did they bring them out by their means.
