< Chronicles II 9 >

1 And the queen of Saba heard [of] the name of Solomon, and she came to Jerusalem with a very large force, to prove Solomon with hard questions, and [she had] camels bearing spices in abundance, and gold, and precious stones: and she came to Solomon, and told him all that was in her mind.
Sheba manghainu loh Solomon kah olthang te a yaak. Te dongah Solomon te olkael neh noemcai ham, Jerusalem la tatthai miping neh muep pawk. Te vaengah botui neh sui cungkuem, lung vang aka phuei kalauk neh Solomon taengla pawk. Te phoeiah a thinko kah aka om boeih te a taengah a thui pah.
2 And Solomon told her all her words; and there passed not a word from Solomon which he told her not.
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.
3 And the queen of Saba saw the wisdom of Solomon, and the house which he had built,
Sheba manghainu loh Solomon kah cueihnah neh im a sak te khaw,
4 and the meat of the tables, and the sitting of his servants, and the standing of his ministers, and their raiment; and his cupbearers, and their apparel; and the whole-burnt-offerings which he offered up in the house of the Lord; then she was in ecstasy.
A caboei dongkah caak neh a sal rhoek kah tolrhum khaw, a taengah aka thotat rhoek kah ngolhmuen neh amih hnicu khaw, a tuitul neh a hnicu khaw, BOEIPA im la aka pawk a imhman khaw a hmuh. Te vaengah a khuikah mueihla khaw om ha pawh.
5 And she said to the king, [It was] a true report which I heard in my land concerning thy words, and concerning thy wisdom.
Te dongah manghai te, “Ka kho ah ka yaak na olka neh na cueihnah te oltak ol ni.
6 Yet I believed not the reports until I came, and my eyes saw: and, behold, the half of the abundance of thy wisdom was not told me: thou hast exceeded the report which I heard.
Te cakhaw ka pawk tih ka mik loh a hmuh hlan hil amih ol dongah ka tangnah pawh. Tedae kai taengah rhuekthuem khaw a thui moenih ko he. Na cueihnah olthang ka yaak lakah a puehkan na khoep.
7 Blessed [are] thy men, blessed [are] these thy servants, who stand before thee continually, and hear thy wisdom.
Na hlang rhoek a yoethen. Na mikhmuh ah phat aka pai rhoek neh na cueihnah aka ya na sal rhoek khaw a yoethen.
8 Blessed be the Lord thy God, who took pleasure in thee, to set thee upon his throne for a king, to the Lord thy God: forasmuch as the Lord thy God loved Israel to establish them for ever, therefore he has set thee over them for a king to execute judgment and justice.
Na Pathen BOEIPA tah om pai saeh, a yoethen pai saeh. Na Pathen BOEIPA ham manghai la a ngolkhoel dongah nang khueh ham khaw nang soah hmae pai saeh. Israel te kumhal hil a pai sak ham nang Pathen loh lungnah pai saeh. Te dongah tiktamnah neh duengnah saii ham ni nang te amih soah manghai la n'khueh,” a ti nah.
9 And she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices in very great abundance, and precious stones: and there were not [any where else] such spices as those which the queen of Saba gave king Solomon.
Te phoeiah manghai te sui talent ya pakul, botui te a cungkuem la muep, lung vang khaw a paek. Sheba manghainu loh manghai Solomon taengah a paek botui bang he a om noek moenih.
10 And the servants of Solomon and the servants of Chiram brought gold to Solomon out of Suphir, and pine timber, and precious stones.
Te phoeiah Khiram Huram kah sal rhoek neh Solomon kah sal rhoek long khaw Ophir lamkah sui a khuen pauh. Algum thing neh lung vang khaw a khuen uh.
11 And the king made of the pine timber steps to the house of the Lord, and to the king's house, and harps and lutes for the singers: and such were not seen before in the land of Juda.
Manghai loh algum thing te BOEIPA im neh manghai im kah longpuei la, tingtoeng aka hlai ham rhotoeng neh thangpa la a saii. Lamhma ah te bang Judah kho ah a hmuh moenih.
12 And king Solomon gave to the queen of Saba all that she requested, besides all that she brought to king Solomon: and she returned to her [own] land.
Manghai Solomon loh manghainu Sheba te a kongaih boeih a rhoi pah. Te vaengah a dawt te amah manghai ham a khuen pah lakah yet. Te phoeiah mael tih amah neh a sal rhoek te amah kho la pawk.
13 And the weight of the gold that was brought to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold,
Solomon taengla kum khat dongah aka pawk sui he a khiing la sui talent ah ya rhuk neh sawmrhuk parhuk lo.
14 besides what the men who were regularly appointed and the merchants brought, and all the kings of Arabia and princes of the land: all brought gold and silver to king Solomon.
Te bueng kolla long yaam hlang neh thimpom rhoek loh a khuen pah, Arabia manghai boeih neh khohmuen rhalboei rhoek long khaw Solomon ham sui neh cak te a khuen pah.
15 And king Solomon made two hundred shields of beaten gold: there were six hundred [shekels] of pure gold to one shield.
Te dongah manghai Solomon loh sui photlinglen yahnih a saii tih photlinglen pakhat dongkah caeh rhoeh la a boh vaengah sui ya rhuk a boh thil.
16 And three hundred buckles of beaten gold: [the weight] of three hundred gold shekels went to one buckler: and the king placed them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
Sui photlingca te ya thum ham khaw photlingca pakhat rhip ah a caeh rhoeh ah sui ya thum a boh thil. Te rhoek te manghai loh Lebanon duup im ah a khueh.
17 And the king made a great throne of ivory, and he gilded it with pure gold.
Te phoeiah manghai loh vueino ngolkhoel a len a saii tih sui cilh a ben thil.
18 And [there were] six steps to the throne, riveted with gold, and elbows on either side of the seat of the throne, and two lions standing by the elbows:
Ngolkhoel te tangtlaeng parhuk om tih sui khotloeng te ngolkhoel dongah a buen. Ngolnah hmuen te he ben ah khaw ke ah khaw a kut om. A kut rhoi taengah sathueng pumnit pai.
19 and twelve lions standing there on the six steps on each side. There was not the like in any [other] kingdom.
Khatben khatbang kah tangtlaeng parhuk soah sathueng hlai nit pahoi pai. Te bang te ram takuem ah a saii moenih.
20 And all king Solomon's vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were covered with gold: silver was not thought anything of in the days of Solomon.
Manghai Solomon kah tui-ok hnopai boeih khaw sui ni. Lebanon duup im kah hnopai boeih khaw sui kak ni. Cak he Solomon tue vaengah tah koihvaih pawh hno pakhat bangla a ngai.
21 For a ship went for the king to Tharsis with the servants of Chiram: once every three years came vessels from Tharsis to the king, laden with gold, and silver, and ivory, and apes.
Huram kah sal rhoek neh Tarshish la aka cet manghai kah sangpho rhoek long khaw kum thum ah vai mael uh. Tarshish sangpho loh sui neh cak khaw, vueino, kaipoeh neh varhing khaw a phueih pah.
22 And Solomon exceeded all [other] kings both in riches and wisdom.
Manghai Solomon he diklai manghai boeih lakah khuehtawn neh cueihnah dongah pantai ngai.
23 And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
Pathen loh a lungbuei ah a khueh pah coeng dongah anih kah cueihnah hnatun hamla diklai manghai boeih loh Solomon kah maelhmai te a tlap uh.
24 And they brought every one his gifts, silver vessels and golden vessels, and raiment, myrrh and spices, horses and mules, a rate every year.
Amih loh a khocang neh cak hnopai khaw, sui hnopai khaw, himbai, lungpok haica khaw, botui khaw, marhang neh muli-marhang khaw, olka nen khaw a kum, kum ah rhip a khuen pauh.
25 And Solomon had four thousand mares for chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen; and he put them in the chariot cities, and with the king in Jerusalem.
Solomon taengah marhang neh leng im thawng li, marhang caem thawng hlai nit om. Te rhoek te leng khopuei khui neh Jerusalem kah manghai taengah a khoem.
26 And he rules over all the kings from the river even to the land of the Philistines, and to the borders of Egypt.
Te phoeiah tuiva lamloh Philisti khohmuen hil khaw, Egypt khorhi hil khaw manghai boeih soah aka taemrhai la om.
27 And the king made gold and silver in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars as the sycamore trees in the plain for abundance.
Manghai loh cak te Jerusalem ah lungto bangla a khueh tih lamphai te kolrhawk ah aka ding thaihae bangla a hawn.
28 And Solomon imported horses from Egypt, and from every [other] country.
Te phoeiah Egypt lamkah neh diklai pum lamkah marhang te Solomon hamla a khuen uh.
29 And the rest of the acts of Solomon, the first and the last, behold, these are written in the words of Nathan the prophet, and in the words of Achia the Selonite, and in the visions of Joel the seer concerning Jeroboam the son of Nabat.
Solomon kah ol coih a tong lamloh a bawt khaw tonghma Nathan kah olka khui neh Shiloh Ahijah kah tonghma ol khuiah khaw, Nebat capa Jeroboam kongah khohmu Iddo kah Iddo manghmuh khuiah khaw a daek uh moenih a?
30 And Solomon reigned over all Israel forty years.
Solomon tah Israel boeih te Jerusalem ah kum sawmli a manghai thil.
31 And Solomon fell asleep, and they buried him in the city of David his father: and Roboam his son reigned in his stead.
Solomon te a napa rhoek taengla khoem uh tih a napa David khopuei ah a up uh. Te phoeiah a capa Rehoboam te anih yueng la manghai.
