1 Kings 10
1 Now when the queen of Sheba heard about the fame of Solomon concerning the name of the LORD, she came to test him with difficult questions.
И царица Савска услыша имя Соломоне и имя Господне, и прииде искусити его притчами:
2 She arrived in Jerusalem with a very large caravan—with camels bearing spices, gold in great abundance, and precious stones. So she came to Solomon and spoke to him all that was on her mind.
и прииде во Иерусалим с силою тяжкою зело: и на велблюдех привезоша ароматы и злата много зело, и камение драгое: и вниде к Соломону и глагола ему вся, елика име на сердцы своем.
3 And Solomon answered all her questions; nothing was too difficult for the king to explain.
И возвести ей Соломон вся глаголы ея: и не бе слово презрено от царя, егоже не возвести ей.
4 When the queen of Sheba saw all the wisdom of Solomon, the palace he had built,
И виде царица Савска весь смысл Соломонь и дом егоже созда,
5 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.
и снеди Соломони, и жилища отроков его, и предстояние служащих ему, и облачение его, и виночерпцы его, и всесожжения его, яже приношаше во храме Господни, и вне себе бысть,
6 She said to the king, “The report I heard in my own country about your words and wisdom is true.
и рече к Соломону царю: истинна суть словеса, яже слышах в земли моей,
7 But I did not believe these things until I came and saw with my own eyes. Indeed, not even half was told to me. Your wisdom and prosperity have far exceeded the report I heard.
о словесех твоих и о смысле твоем: и не ях веры глаголющым ми, дондеже приидох семо, и видеста очи мои: и се, несть ни пол того, якоже ми поведаша: приложил еси премудрость и благая к сим паче всякаго слуха, егоже слышах в земли моей:
8 How blessed are your men! How blessed are these servants of yours who stand continually before you and hear your wisdom!
блаженны жены твоя, блажени отроцы твои сии, иже предстоят пред тобою всегда, слышаще всякий смысл твой:
9 Blessed be the LORD your God, who has delighted in you to set you on the throne of Israel. Because of the LORD’s eternal love for Israel, He has made you king to carry out justice and righteousness.”
буди Господь Бог твой благословен, иже восхоте тя дати на престол Израилев, понеже возлюби Господь Израиля утвердити во веки и постави тя царя над ними творити суд в правде и в судбах их.
10 Then she gave the king 120 talents of gold, a great quantity of spices, and precious stones. Never again was such an abundance of spices brought in as those the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.
И даде Соломону сто и двадесять талант злата, и ароматы многи зело, и камение драгое: не приидоша еще таковыя ароматы во множестве, яже даде царица Савска царю Соломону.
11 (The fleet of Hiram that brought gold from Ophir also brought from Ophir a great cargo of almug wood and precious stones.
И корабль Хирамль приносящь злато из Софира, (и) принесе древа нетесана многа зело, и камение драгое.
12 The king made the almug 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 such almug wood been brought in, nor has such been seen to this day.)
И сотвори царь древом нетесаным подпоры храму Господню и дому цареву, и сопели и гусли певцем: не приидоша по сем таковая древеса нетесаная на земли, ниже видена быша где даже до дне сего.
13 King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba all she desired—whatever she asked—besides what he had given her out of his royal bounty. Then she left and returned to her own country, along with her servants.
И царь Соломон даде царице Савстей вся, елика восхоте и елики проси у него, кроме всех, яже даде ей рукама своима Соломон царь, и возвратися, и отиде в землю свою, сама и вси отроцы ея.
14 The weight of gold that came to Solomon each year was 666 talents,
И бе вес принесеннаго злата Соломону во едино лето шесть сот и шестьдесят и шесть талант злата,
15 not including the revenue from the merchants, traders, and all the Arabian kings and governors of the land.
кроме даней от подданных и от купцов и от всех царей странных и от воевод земных.
16 King Solomon made two hundred large shields of hammered gold; six hundred shekels of gold went into each shield.
И сотвори царь Соломон триста копий златых кованных, по триста златых во едино копие вдела:
17 He also made three hundred small shields of hammered gold; three minas of gold went into each shield. And the king put them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon.
и триста щитов кованных златых, по три литры злата бяше на коемждо щите: и даде я царь во храм дубравы Ливанския.
18 Additionally, the king made a great throne of ivory and overlaid it with pure gold.
И сотвори царь престол от костей слоновых велий и позлати его златом искушеным:
19 The throne had six steps, and its back had a rounded top. There were armrests on both sides of the seat, with a lion standing beside each armrest.
шесть степеней престолу, и образы телцов престолу созади, и верх престола кругл бе созади его, и руце сюду и сюду на престоле седалища, и два льва стояща при руках,
20 Twelve lions stood on the six steps, one at either end of each step. Nothing like this had ever been made for any kingdom.
и дванадесять львы стояще ту на шести степенех сюду и сюду: не бяше тако во всяком царстве.
21 All King Solomon’s drinking cups were gold, and all the utensils of the House of the Forest of Lebanon were pure gold. There was no silver, because it was accounted as nothing in the days of Solomon.
И вси сосуди, иже бяху при царе Соломоне, злати беша, и умывалницы златы и вси сосуди в храме дубравы Ливанския златокованны: не бяше сребра, понеже за ничто бе сребро во дни Соломони:
22 For the king had the ships of Tarshish at sea with Hiram’s fleet, and once every three years the ships of Tarshish would arrive bearing gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks.
корабль бо Фарсийский царю Соломону на мори с корабли Хирамлими, единою во триех летех прихождаше цареви корабль из Фарсиса и приношаше злато и сребро, и зубы слоновы, и пифики и павы, и камение точеное и тесаное.
23 So King Solomon surpassed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.
И возвеличися Соломон паче всех царей земных и богатством и смыслом.
24 The whole world sought an audience with Solomon to hear the wisdom that God had put in his heart.
И вси царие земстии искаху видети лице Соломона, еже бы услышати смысла его, егоже даде ему Господь в сердцы его:
25 Year after year, each visitor would bring his tribute: articles of silver and gold, clothing, weapons, spices, horses, and mules.
и тии приношаху кийждо дары своя, и сосуды златы и сребряны, и ризы, стакти и сладкости, и кони и мски на всякое лето.
26 Solomon accumulated 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horses, which he stationed in the chariot cities and also with him in Jerusalem.
И собра Соломон колесницы и кони, и бяху Соломону четыредесять тысящ кобылиц в колесницы, и дванадесять тысящ конных: и постави я во градех колесниц, а (друзии бяху) у царя во Иерусалиме: и бе властелин всем царем от реки и до земли иноплеменник и до предел Египта.
27 The king made silver as common in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar as abundant as sycamore in the foothills.
И сложи царь злато и сребро во Иерусалиме якоже камение, и кедры сложи якоже черничие, еже на поли во множестве.
28 Solomon’s horses were imported from Egypt and Kue; the royal merchants purchased them from Kue.
И привождаху Соломону кони от Египта и от Фекуя купцы царстии и куповаху от Фекуя променою.
29 A chariot could be imported from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty. Likewise, they exported them to all the kings of the Hittites and to the kings of Aram.
И прихождаху колесницы из Египта за шесть сот сребреник, и конь за сто пятьдесят сребреник: такожде и ко всем царем Хеттимским и Сирийским по морю исхождаху.
