1 Kings 10
1 The queen of Sheba heard how famous Solomon was, so she came to Jerusalem to test him with tough questions.
Sheba siangpahrang nongpata loe Solomon ahmin amthanghaih hoi Angraeng kawng to thaih naah, karai parai lokduenghaih hoiah anih to tanoek hanah angzoh.
2 She brought with her a very large entourage, with camels loaded with spices, large amounts of gold, and precious gemstones. She came to Solomon and asked him about everything she had on her mind.
Paroeai pop tahnongsawk hrang hoi Jerusalem ah a phak naah, hmuihoih hmuennawk, paroeai pop sui hoi atho kaom thlungnawk to phawhsak moe, Solomon khaeah a caeh; angmah ih palung thungah kaom a poekhaihnawk to Solomon khaeah thuih pae boih.
3 Solomon answered all her questions. There was nothing he couldn't explain to her.
Anih mah dueng ih loknawk to Solomon mah pathim pae boih; a lokduenghaih thungah siangpahrang mah pathim thai ih lok maeto doeh om ai.
4 When the queen of Sheba saw Solomon's wisdom, and the palace he had built,
Sheba siangpahrang nongpata mah Solomon palunghahaih hoiah sak ih siangpahrang imnawk,
5 the food on the table, how his officials lived, how his servants operated and how they were dressed, the clothes of the waiters, and the burnt offerings he presented at the Lord's Temple, she was so astonished she could hardly breathe.
anih caboi nui ih caaknaeknawk, a tamnanawk anghnuthaih ahmuennawk, a tok sahkung tamnanawk ih khukbuennawk, anih ih boengloeng sin kami hoi Angraeng imthungah hmai hoi sak ih angbawnhaihnawk to a hnuk naah, dawnraihaih hoiah oh sut.
6 She told the king, “It's true what I heard in my own country about your proverbs and your wisdom!
Anih mah siangpahrang khaeah, Ka prae hoi ka thaih ih na sak ih hmuennawk hoi palung na hahaihnawk loe, tangtang ni, tiah a naa.
7 But I didn't believe what they told me until I came and saw with my own eyes. In fact, I wasn't told the half of it—the extent of your wisdom far exceeds what I heard!
Toe hae hmuen hae kaimah roe kang zoh moe, ka mik hoiah hnu ai karoek to, ka tang ai; khenah, hae ih hmuen kawngnawk ahap mataeng doeh kai khaeah na thui o ai vop; ka thaih ih hmuen pongah palung na hahaih hoi na tawnh ih hmuenmaenawk hae pop kue.
8 How happy your people must be! How happy those who work for you, who stand here every day listening to your wisdom!
Ni thokkruek na hmaa ah kaom, palunghahaih lok tahngai nangmah ih kaminawk, na tamnanawk loe paroeai tahamhoih o.
9 Praise the Lord your God who is so pleased with you, who placed you on his throne as king to rule on his behalf. Because of the love of your God for Israel he has made them secure forever, and he has made you king over them to do what is fair and right.”
Nang to palung moe, Israel kaminawk nuiah siangpahrang ah suemkung, Angraeng na Sithaw loe tahamhoihaih om nasoe; Angraeng mah Israel hae dungzan khoek to palung pongah, toenghaih hoiah kamsoem ah toksak hanah, nang hae siangpahrang ah ang suek boeh, tiah a naa.
10 She presented the king with one hundred and twenty talents of gold, huge amounts of spices and precious stones. Never before had there been spices like those the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.
Anih mah siangpahrang hanah sui talent cumvaito pacoeng, pumphaeto, hmuihoih paroeai hoi atho kana thlungnawk to paek; Sheba siangpahrang nongpata mah Solomon hanah sin pae ih hmuihoih zetto mi mah doeh sin pae vai ai vop.
11 (Hiram's fleet of ships brought gold from Ophir, and also carried algum wood and precious stones.
Hiram ih palongpui mah doeh Ophir hoiah suinawk to sin pae o; to ahmuen hoiah almak thing hoi atho kana thlungnawk doeh sin o.
12 The king used the algum wood to make steps for the Temple and for the royal palace, and into lyres and harps for the musicians. Nothing like them had ever been seen before in the land of Judah.)
Siangpahrang mah almak thing hoiah Angraeng ih im homhnawk, siangpahrang im, laasah kaminawk hanah katoeng tamoinawk to sak.
13 King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba all she wanted, whatever she asked for. This was in addition to the usual gifts he had generously given her. Then she and her attendants returned home to her own country.
Solomon siangpahrang loe Sheba siangpahrang nongpata mah hnik ih hmuennawk to paek boih; siangpahrang mah tawnh ih hmuennawk to paek pacoengah, a hnik ih kalah hmuennawk doeh paek boih bae vop. To pacoengah ni angmah hoi angmah ih ampuinawk hoi nawnto angmah prae ah amlaem vop.
14 The weight of gold that Solomon received each year was 666 talents,
Saningto thung Solomon khaeah kapha sui loe talent cumvai taruk, quitaruk, tarukto oh.
15 not including that received from traders and merchants, and all the kings of Arabia and governors of the land.
To pacoengah hmuenmae zaw kaminawk, hmuenmae athlaenghaih sah kaminawk, Arabia prae siangpahrangnawk hoi prae ukkungnawk mah paek ih sui doeh oh vop.
16 King Solomon made two hundred shields of hammered gold. Each shield required six hundred shekels of hammered gold.
Solomon siangpahrang loe sui coi tarukto hoiah misa angvaenghaih aphaw cumvai hnetto a sak, aphaw maeto naah shekel cumvai tarukto akunh.
17 He also made three hundred small shields of hammered gold. Each of these shields required three gold minas. The king placed them in the Palace of the Forest of Lebanon.
Sui hoi sak ih kathoeng kue aphaw doeh cumvai thumto oh vop; aphaw maeto naah sui boengloeng thumto akunh; to aphawnawk loe siangpahrang mah Lebanon tu thung ih thing hoiah sak ih siangpahrang im ah a suek.
18 The king also made a great throne of ivory, and covered it with pure gold.
Siangpahrang mah angmah ih kalen pui angraeng tangkhang to tasaino hoiah sak moe, sui hoiah pazut boih.
19 The throne had six steps, with a rounded top at the back. There were armrests on both sides of the seat, with lions standing beside the armrests.
Angraeng tangkhang ah dawhhaih thlak tarukto oh, ranui koek ih angraeng tangkhang a hnukbangah loe angbuet luet; angraeng tangkhang hae bang hoi ho bangah ban koenghaih oh hmaek; ban koenghaih taengah kaipui hnetto angdoet.
20 Twelve lions stood on the six steps, one on opposite ends of each step. Nothing like this had ever been made for any kingdom.
Thlak tarukto ranui ataeng boih ah kaipui hatlaihnetto angdoet o; naa ih prae ah doeh to tiah sah o vai ai vop.
21 All of King Solomon's drinking cups were gold, and all the utensils of the Palace of the Forest of Lebanon were pure gold. No silver was used, because it was not valued in the days of Solomon.
Solomon siangpahrang ih boengloengnawk loe sui hoiah ni sak boih; Lebanon tu thung ih thing hoiah sak ih siangpahrang imthungah patoh ih laom sabaenawk loe sui hoiah ni sak boih; Solomon adung ah sumkanglung hoi sak ih hmuennawk loe atho kaom ah poek o ai pongah, sumkanglung hoiah sak ih hmuen tidoeh om ai.
22 The king had a fleet of ships from Tarshish crewed by Hiram's sailors. Once every three years the ships of Tarshish would arrive with a cargo of gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks.
Siangpahrang loe Tarshish ih palongpuinawk to Hiram ih palongpuinawk hoi nawnto tuipui ah a suek; to Tasrshish palongpui loe saning thumto naah vaito amlaem moe, sui, sumkanglung, tasaino, kalaih hoi tawta-aw tavaanawk to a phawh.
23 King Solomon was greater than any other king on earth in wealth and wisdom.
Solomon siangpahrang loe angraenghaih hoi palunghahaih bangah longnui ih siangpahrangnawk boih pongah sang kue.
24 The whole world wanted to meet Solomon to hear the wisdom that God had placed in his mind.
Sithaw mah anih ih palung thung suek pae ih, palunghahaih lok tahngai hanah long nui ih kaminawk boih, Solomon khaeah angzoh o.
25 Year after year, every visitor would bring gifts—articles of silver and gold, clothes, weapons, spices, horses, and mules.
Saning kruek anih khaeah angzo kaminawk boih mah tangqum, sui hoi sak ih laom sabae, sumkanglung hoi sak ih laom sabaenawk, khukbuennawk, maiphaw maicanawk, hmuihoihnawk, hrang hoi mule hrangnawk to sin pae o.
26 Solomon accumulated 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horsemen. He kept them in the chariot towns, and also with him in Jerusalem.
Solomon siangpahrang mah hrang hoi hrang lakoknawk to nawnto pakhuengh; hrang lakok sang cumvai pali, hrang hoi misatuh kami sang hatlaihnetto a tawnh; to hmuennawk to hrang lakok suekhaih vangpui ah a suek moe, Jerusalem ah doeh angmah khaeah a suek.
27 The king made silver as plentiful in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar wood as plentiful as sycamore-figs in the foothills.
Siangpahrang mah sumkanglungnawk to thlung rumram baktiah Jerusalem vangpui ah suek moe, tahawt thungah kaom thaibaa thing baktiah cidar thingdoeh a tawnh mangh.
28 Solomon's horses were imported from Egypt and Kue—the royal merchants purchased them in Kue.
Izip prae Kue vangpui hoiah Solomon siangpahrang khaeah hrangnawk to zawh pae o; siangpahrang ih hmuenmae zaw kaminawk loe Kue vangpui ih hrangnawk to phoisa hoiah qanh o.
29 A chariot imported from Egypt cost six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse a hundred and fifty. They also exported them to all the Hittite kings, and to the Aramean kings.
Hrang lakok maeto naah Izip prae ah phoisa shekel cumvai tarukto a paek moe, hrang maeto naah phoisa shekel cumvai quipangato hoiah qanh o; to hmuennawk to Hit kaminawk hoi Syria kaminawk khaeah doeh a zawh o.
