2 Chronicles 9
1 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.
Sheba ram ka uk e siangpahrangnu ni Solomon e kamthang a thai navah, lawk paceinae ka ru poung e naw hoi tanouk hanelah Solomon koe Jerusalem vah a tho. Tami moikapap a kâbang awh teh, hmuituinaw, talung aphu kaawmpoungnaw hoi sui moikapap ka phawt e kalauknaw hoi a tho. Solomon koe a pha awh navah, a lungthung ka'awm e pueng koung a rasa teh, lawk a pacei.
2 And Solomon answered all her questions; nothing was too difficult for him to explain.
Lawk a pacei e naw pueng Solomon ni koung a dei pouh. Solomon ni siangpahrangnu koe a dei pouh thai hoeh e banghai awm hoeh.
3 When the queen of Sheba saw the wisdom of Solomon, the palace he had built,
Sheba siangpahrangnu ni Solomon e lungangnae, im a sak e,
4 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.
caboi dawk e rawca, a kut rahim e bawinaw ni tahungnae, ka tho ka cet e sannaw hoi a khohnanaw, manang kapatuemnaw hoi a khohnanaw, BAWIPA e im dawk hmaisawi thuengnae hoi a thuengnae a hmu navah, kângai a ru teh kâha yo a phout.
5 She said to the king, “The report I heard in my own country about your words and wisdom is true.
Siangpahrang koevah, na lungangnae hoi na tawksak e kama ram hoi kamthang ka thai e heh a tang katang doeh.
6 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.
Hatei, ka mit hoi khei ka hmu hoehnahlan teh, ka yuem hoeh. Khenhaw! na lungangnae teh ka thai e apasuek ka thai e ni tangawn boehai phat hoeh. Ka thainae kamthang hlak hoe a bawilen.
7 How blessed are your men! How blessed are these servants of yours who stand continually before you and hear your wisdom!
Na taminaw a yawhawi poung awh. Na sannaw hai nang koe pou kaawm niteh, nange lungangnae lawk ka thai e naw teh, a yawhawi poung awh.
8 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.”
Nang dawk a lung kahawi e BAWIPA na Cathut, bawitungkhung dawk na ka tahung sak e BAWIPA na Cathut teh bawilennae awm seh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, na Cathut ni Isarelnaw teh yungyoe a caksak hanelah a pahren. Hatdawkvah, kalan lah lawkceng hanelah ahnimae siangpahrang hanelah na sak awh e doeh, telah ati.
9 Then she gave the king 120 talents of gold, a great quantity of spices, and precious stones. There had never been such spices as those the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.
Hottelah sui talen 120, hmuitui moikapap hoi, aphu kaawm e naw hah siangpahrang a poe. Sheba siangpahrangnu ni Solomon a poe hmuitui patetlah e alouklah khoeroe awm hoeh.
10 (The servants of Hiram and of Solomon who brought gold from Ophir also brought algum wood and precious stones.
Hahoi Solomon e a sannaw hoi Huram e a sannaw, Ophir kho hoi sui kaphawtnaw ni hai Algum thing hoi talung aphu kaawm e a phu awh.
11 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.)
Siangpahrang ni Algum thing hah BAWIPA im, siangpahrang im kalupnae hoi la kasaknaw hanelah ratoung hoi tamawi lah a sak. Hot patet lae thing teh Judah ram dawk ayan hoi hmawt boihoeh.
12 King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba all she desired—whatever she asked—far more than she had brought the king. Then she left and returned to her own country, along with her servants.
Solomon siangpahrang Sheba siangpahrangnu ni a poe e hno touk laipalah, a lungkuep nahanelah a hei e puenghai koung a poe. Hathnukkhu, a sannaw hoi ama ram lah a ban awh.
13 The weight of gold that came to Solomon each year was 666 talents,
Solomon koe kum touh dawk sui kâen e talen 666 touh a pha.
14 not including the revenue from the merchants and traders. And all the Arabian kings and governors of the land also brought gold and silver to Solomon.
Hetnaw teh hno kayawtnaw hoi kasaknaw ni a thokhai e touk laipalah, kâen e doeh. Arabia siangpahrangnaw pueng hoi ram kaukkungnaw ni Solomon koe sui hoi ngun ouk a thokhai awh.
15 King Solomon made two hundred large shields of hammered gold; six hundred shekels of hammered gold went into each shield.
Solomon ni suibahling kalen e 200 touh a sak. Bahling kalen e buet touh dawk sui talen 600 touh abaw.
16 He also made three hundred small shields of hammered gold; three hundred shekels of gold went into each shield. And the king put them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon.
Hlun e suibahling kathounge 600 touh a sak. Bahling kathounge buet touh dawk sui shekel 300 touh abaw. Hotnaw teh Lebanon ratu thung e thing hoi sak e im dawk a hruek.
17 Additionally, the king made a great throne of ivory and overlaid it with pure gold.
Hahoi siangpahrang ni kasaino bawitungkhung kalenpounge a sak teh, suikathoung hoi a hluk.
18 The throne had six steps, and a footstool of gold was attached to it. There were armrests on both sides of the seat, with a lion standing beside each armrest.
Bawitungkhung dawk luennae lakhout taruk touh hoi sui hoi sak e khokpadoun hai a tawn teh, tungkhung hoi pou a kamtawp. Tungkhung avoivang lah, kut toungnae atengvah, sendek meikaphawk kahni touh a kangdue sak.
19 Twelve lions stood on the six steps, one at either end of each step. Nothing like this had ever been made for any kingdom.
Luennae dawk avoivang lah sendek 12 touh a kangdue. Hot patetlah, nâ e uknaeram dawk hai awm boihoeh.
20 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.
Siangpahrang Solomon e manangnaw pueng teh, suituici seng doeh. Lebanon kahrawngum e thing hoi sak e im dawk e hnopai pueng hai suituici seng doeh. Solomon e se nah ngun teh banglahai noutna hoeh.
21 For the king had the ships of Tarshish that went with Hiram’s servants, and once every three years the ships of Tarshish would arrive bearing gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks.
Siangpahrang e lawng teh Huram e a sannaw hoi Tarshish kho lah ouk a cei, kum thum touh dawk vai touh a tho teh, sui, ngun, kasaino, kalainaw hoi awtawnaw ouk a thokhai awh.
22 So King Solomon surpassed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.
Hottelah Solomon siangpahrang ni talai van e siangpahrang pueng, tawntanae hoi lungangnae koelah koung a tapuet.
23 All the kings of the earth sought an audience with Solomon to hear the wisdom that God had put in his heart.
Cathut ni a lungthin thung a hruek pouh e lungangnae lawk thai hanelah talai van e siangpahrang pueng ni Solomon a pâtam awh.
24 Year after year, each visitor would bring his tribute: articles of silver and gold, clothing, weapons, spices, horses, and mules.
Ka tho e tami pueng ni suimanang, ngunmanang, khohna, tarantuknae senehmaica, hmuituinaw, marangnaw hoi lanaw kum tangkuem ouk a poe awh.
25 Solomon had 4,000 stalls for horses and chariots, and 12,000 horses, which he stationed in the chariot cities and also with him in Jerusalem.
Solomon ni rangleng hoi marangnaw tanae hmuen 4,000 touh a tawn. Marangransanaw 12000 touh a tawn teh, ahnimanaw teh marang hrueknae hmuen hoi Jerusalem siangpahrang koevah ao sak.
26 He reigned over all the kings from the Euphrates to the land of the Philistines, as far as the border of Egypt.
Euphrates tuipui koehoi, Filistin ram hoi, Izip ram totouh siangpahrangnaw koung a uk.
27 The king made silver as common in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar as abundant as sycamore in the foothills.
Siangpahrang ni Jerusalem kho dawk ngunnaw hah talung patetlah Sidar thing hah ayawn dawk e thailahei kungnaw patetlah a pap sak.
28 Solomon’s horses were imported from Egypt and from all the lands.
Izip ram hoi alouke ramnaw koehoi Solomon hanelah marangnaw hah ouk a thokhai awh.
29 As for the rest of the acts of Solomon, from beginning to end, are they not written in the Records of Nathan the Prophet, in the Prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the Visions of Iddo the Seer concerning Jeroboam son of Nebat?
Solomon e konglam kaawm rae naw, kamtawng hoi apout totouh e pueng teh, profet Nathan ni a thut e cauk, Shiloh tami Ahijah e sutdeilawk dawk hoi Nebat capa Jeroboam e kong dawk profet Iddo kamnuenae cauknaw dawk thut lah ao nahoehmaw.
30 Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years.
Solomon ni Jerusalem kho dawk Isarelnaw abuemlah kum 40 touh a uk.
31 And Solomon rested with his fathers and was buried in the city of his father David. And his son Rehoboam reigned in his place.
Solomon teh mintoenaw koe a kâhat teh, a na pa Devit khopui dawk a pakawp awh. Hahoi a yueng lah a capa Rehoboam ni siangpahrang a tawk.
