< 1 Kings 10 >
1 Then, too, the queen of Sheba, having heard of the fame of Solomon in the name of the Lord, arrived to test him with enigmas.
BOEIPA ming dongah Solomon kah olthang te Sheba manghainu loh a yaak vaengah olkael neh anih te noemcai ham ha pawk.
2 And entering into Jerusalem with a great retinue, and with riches, and with camels carrying aromatics, and with an exceedingly great quantity of gold and precious stones, she went to king Solomon. And she spoke to him all that she held in her heart.
Jerusalem la tatthai a muep ayet neh, botui neh sui muep a yet, lung vang aka phuei kalauk neh pawk. Solomon taengla a pha vaengah a thinko ah a om bangla a cungkuem te a taengah a thui pah.
3 And Solomon taught her, in all the words that she had proposed to him. There was not any word which was able to be hidden from the king, or which he did not answer for her.
Anih ol boeih te Solomon loh a taengah a hlat pah. Anih taengah a hlat pah pawt ham khaw manghai ham ol a hlael a om moenih.
4 Then, when the queen of Sheba saw all the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had built,
Sheba manghainu loh Solomon kah cueihnah cungkuem neh im a sak te khaw,
5 and the food of his table, and the dwelling places of his servants, and the rows of his ministers, and their apparel, and the cupbearers, and the holocausts that he was offering in the house of the Lord, she had no longer any spirit in her.
a caboei dongkah caak neh a sal rhoek kah ngolhmuen, ngolhmuen dongah aka thotat rhoek kah a thohtat, a hnicu neh a tuitul rhoek, BOEIPA im kah a nawn a hmueihhlutnah te ahmuh vaengah a khuiah a mueihla om voel pawh.
6 And she said to the king: “The word is true, which I have heard in my own land,
Te dongah manghai te, “Nang kah olka neh nang kah cueihnah he kamah kho ah ka yaak bangla olthang he oltak la om coeng.
7 about your words and your wisdom. But I did not believe those who explained it to me, until I went myself and saw it with my own eyes. And I have discovered that the half of it has not been told to me: your wisdom and works are greater than the report that I have heard.
Ka pawk hlan hil tah olka la ka tangnah moenih, ka mik loh a hmuh vaengah tah kai hamla rhakthuem pataeng a thui moenih ko he. Olthang ka yaak lakah khaw cueihnah neh kawnthen neh na coih.
8 Blessed are your men, and blessed are your servants, who stand before you always, and who hear your wisdom.
Na hlang rhoek loh a yoethen, na sal rhoek khaw a yoethen, na mikhmuh kah aka pai rhoek khaw na cueihnah a yaak uh taitu.
9 Blessed is the Lord your God, whom you have greatly pleased, and who has placed you upon the throne of Israel. For the Lord loves Israel forever, and he has appointed you as king, so that you may accomplish judgment and justice.”
Nang dongah hmae tih BOEIPA loh kumhal hil Israel a lungnah dongah Israel ngolkhoel dongah nang aka khueh BOEIPA na Pathen tah a yoethen pai. Te dongah nang te tiktamnah neh duengnah saii ham ni manghai la ng'khueh,” a ti nah.
10 Then she gave the king one hundred twenty talents of gold, and an exceedingly great amount of aromatics and precious stones. No greater quantity of aromatics was ever again brought forth as these, which the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.
Te vaengah manghai taengla a paek te sui talent ya pakul lo tih botui neh lung vang khaw bahoeng yet. Sheba manghainu loh manghai Solomon taengah a khawk la apaek botui bang he koep a phoe noek moenih.
11 Then, too, the navy of Hiram, which carried gold from Ophir, brought an exceedingly great quantity of thyine wood and precious stones from Ophir.
Khiram kah sangpho long khaw Ophir lamkah sui a khuen pah. Ophir lamloh a khuen almak thing neh lung vang khaw bahoeng yet.
12 And the king made, from the thyine wood, the posts of the house of the Lord, and of the house of the king, and citharas and lyres for the musicians. No thyine trees of this kind were ever again brought forth or seen, even to the present day.
Manghai loh almak thing te BOEIPA im neh manghai im kah longkawn la, laa aka sa rhoek ham rhotoeng neh thangpa la a saii pah. Tahae khohnin due almak thing te yet te om noek pawt tih a hmuh noek moneih.
13 Then king Solomon gave the queen of Sheba all that she desired and requested of him, aside from what he himself had offered to her from his royal bounty. And she returned and went away to her own land, with her servants.
Manghai Solomon loh manghainu Sheba te a kongaih boeih a rhoi pah. Solomon manghai kah kutmuei voel ah anih te a bih sarhui a paek thil pueng. Te phoeiah anih te mael tih a sal rhoek neh amah kho la cet.
14 Now the weight of the gold that was brought to Solomon each year was six hundred sixty-six talents of gold,
Kum khat ah Solomon taengah aka pawk sui he a khiing sui talent ya rhuk sawmrhuk parhuk lo.
15 aside from what was brought to him by the men who were over the tributes, and by the merchants, and by those selling every kind of small item, and by all the kings of Arabia, and by the rulers of the land.
Long yaam hlang rhoek taeng lamkah khaw, thimpom hlaikannah kah khaw, Arabia manghai rhoek boeih neh khohmuen rhalboei rhoek lamkah khaw om pueng.
16 Also, king Solomon made two hundred large shields from the purest gold. He dispensed six hundred shekels of gold for the layers of one shield.
Manghai Solomon loh Sui photlinglen yahnih a saii tih photlinglen pakhat dongah sui ya rhuk cet la a boh.
17 And for the three hundred crescent-shaped shields of tested gold, there were three hundred minas of gold covering one shield. And the king placed these in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
Sui photlingca te ya thum lo tih photlingca khat dongah sui mina pathum cet la a boh. Te rhoek te manghai loh Lebanon duup im ah a khueh.
18 Also, king Solomon made a great throne from ivory. And he clothed it with a great quantity of red gold.
Manghai loh vueino ngolkhoel len khaw a saii tih sui cilh neh a ben thil.
19 The throne had six steps, and the summit of the throne was rounded in the back section. And there were two hands, on one side and the other, holding the seat. And two lions were standing beside each hand,
Ngolkhoel dongla tangtlaeng parhuk om tih ngolkhoel kah a hnuk sampoeng tah pumrhuelh. Ngolnah hmuen kah khatben khatbang ah a kut om tih a kut kaep ah sathueng pumnit pai.
20 with twelve little lions standing upon the six steps, on one side and the other. No similar work has been made, ever in any kingdom.
Tangtlaeng parhuk dongkah khatben khatbang ah aka pai sathueng te pum hlai nit lo. Ram tom ah te bang te a saii uh moenih.
21 Moreover, all the vessels from which king Solomon would drink were of gold. And all the items in the house of the forest of Lebanon were of the purest gold. There was no silver, nor was any accounting made of silver in the days of Solomon.
Manghai Solomon kah tui-ok hnopai boeih he sui tih Lebanon duup im kah hnopai boeih khaw sui cilh ni. Solomon tue vaengah tah cak he hno khat la a ngai pawt dongah nuen sak pawh.
22 For the navy of the king, once every three years, went with the navy of Hiram by sea to Tarshish, bringing from there gold, and silver, and elephant tusks, and primates, and peacocks.
Manghai kah Tarshish sangpho khaw tuipuei kah Khiram sangpho neh kum thum ah vai a voei pah. Tarshish sangpho loh sui neh cak khaw, vueino neh kaipoeh khaw, varhing khaw a phueih pah.
23 And so, king Solomon was magnified above all the kings of the earth in riches and in wisdom.
Solomon manghai he diklai manghai boeih lakah khuehtawn dongah khaw, cueihnah dongah khaw khuet coeng.
24 And all the earth desired to see the face of Solomon, so as to hear his wisdom, which God had granted to his heart.
Pathen loh a lungbuei ah a khueh pah a cueihnah te hnatun hamla diklai boeih loh Solomon kah maelhmai te a toem uh.
25 And each one brought him gifts, vessels of silver and of gold, clothing and weapons of war, as well as aromatics, and horses, and mules, throughout each year.
Amih loh a khocang la cak hnopai, sui hno, himbai, lungpok haica, botui, marhang neh muli-marhang khaw, a kum kum ah rhip a thak uh.
26 And Solomon gathered together the chariots and horsemen. And he had one thousand four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen. And he placed them in the walled cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
Solomon loh leng neh marhang caem te a coi tih amah taengah leng thawng khat ya li neh marhang caem thawng hlai nit om. Te rhoek te leng khopuei rhoek neh Jerusalem kah manghai taengah a pael.
27 And he caused silver to be as abundant in Jerusalem as stones, and he supplied a multitude of cedars like the sycamores that grow in the plains.
Manghai loh cak te Jerusalem ah lungto bangla a khueh tih lamphai te kolrhawk kah aka ding thaihae bangla a hmoek.
28 And horses were brought for Solomon from Egypt and from Kue. For the merchants of the king were buying these from Kue. And they paid out the established price.
Solomon taengah marhang kah pongthohnah dongah Egypt lamkah neh Kue lamkah khaw a loh. Manghai ham aka thimpom rhoek loh Kue lamkah te a phu la a loh uh.
29 Now a four-horse chariot would be sent from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for one hundred and fifty. And in this manner, all the kings of the Hittites and of Syria were selling horses.
Egypt lamkah leng pakhat ah tangka ya rhuk la, marhang te ya sawmnga la a loh tih a khuen sak. Te tlam te Khitti manghai boeih taeng neh Aram manghai rhoek taengah khaw a kut dongah a khuen sakuh.
