When the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to test Solomon with hard questions at Jerusalem, with a very great caravan, including camels that bore spices, gold in abundance, and precious stones. When she had come to Solomon, she talked with him about all that was in her heart.
2 Anih ol boeih te amah taengah Solomon loh a thui pah. Tedae a taengah a thui tloel ham hil tah Solomon ham ol a kael aih moenih.

5 Te dongah manghai te, “Ka kho ah ka yaak na olka neh na cueihnah te oltak ol ni.
She said to the king, “It was a true report that I heard in my own land of your acts and of your wisdom.

However I didn’t believe their words until I came, and my eyes had seen it; and behold half of the greatness of your wisdom wasn’t told me. You exceed the fame that I heard!
7 Na hlang rhoek a yoethen. Na mikhmuh ah phat aka pai rhoek neh na cueihnah aka ya na sal rhoek khaw a yoethen.
Happy are your men, and happy are these your servants, who stand continually before you and hear your wisdom.

Blessed be the LORD your God, who delighted in you and set you on his throne to be king for the LORD your God, because your God loved Israel, to establish them forever. Therefore he made you king over them, to do justice and righteousness.”
