Now when the queen of Sheba heard about the fame of Solomon, she came to test him with difficult questions. She arrived in Jerusalem with a very large caravan—with camels bearing spices, gold in abundance, and precious stones. So she came to Solomon and spoke with him about all that was on her mind.
2 Solomon chun amanu thudoh jouse abonchan adonbut in, chule bailam tah in ahilchenin ahi.
And Solomon answered all her questions; nothing was too difficult for him to explain.

the food at his table, the seating of his servants, the service and attire of his attendants and cupbearers, and the burnt offerings he presented at the house of the LORD, it took her breath away.
5 Chuin Sheba lengnun lengpa komma aseiyin, “Keima gamsunga kana jah na chih na le na natoh thilbol hohi atah mong ahi.
She said to the king, “The report I heard in my own country about your words and wisdom is true.
6 Ahinlah kamit tah’a kana musanga chun miho thusei chu atah hidingin kana gelpon ahi. Tahbeh a seidingin nathupi naho hi akehkhat bepbou eina kiseipeh ahibouve, hiche ei kiseipeh kajah ho sangin gam chengin nakho khellin ahi,” ati.
But I did not believe the reports until I came and saw with my own eyes. Indeed, not half of the greatness of your wisdom was told to me. You have far exceeded the report I heard.
7 Namite iti pan akipah ta diuvem! Namilen-milalte ho, na angsunga adin jinguva nachih na thu ajah jengu hi iti pan akipah tadiu vem! Na Pakai, Pathen chu vahchoiyin umtahen, Amachu nachunga lunglhai tangei unte chule,
How blessed are your men! How blessed are these servants of yours who stand continually before you and hear your wisdom!

Blessed be the LORD your God, who has delighted in you to set you on His throne to be king for the LORD your God. Because your God loved Israel enough to establish them forever, He has made you king over them to carry out justice and righteousness.”

The king made the algum wood into steps for the house of the LORD and for the king’s palace, and into lyres and harps for the singers. Never before had anything like them been seen in the land of Judah.)
