1 Kings 10

1 And the Queene of Sheba hearing ye fame of Salomon (concerning the Name of the Lord) came to proue him with hard questions.

١ وَسَمِعَتْ مَلِكَةُ سَبَا بِخَبَرِ سُلَيْمَانَ لِمَجْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ، فَأَتَتْ لِتَمْتَحِنَهُ بِمَسَائِلَ.

2 And she came to Ierusalem with a verie great traine, and camels that bare sweete odours, and golde exceeding much, and precious stones: and shee came to Salomon, and communed with him of all that was in her heart.

٢ فَأَتَتْ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ بِمَوْكِبٍ عَظِيمٍ جِدًّا، بِجِمَالٍ حَامِلَةٍ أَطْيَابًا وَذَهَبًا كَثِيرًا جِدًّا وَحِجَارَةً كَرِيمَةً. وَأَتَتْ إِلَى سُلَيْمَانَ وَكَلَّمَتْهُ بِكُلِّ مَا كَانَ بِقَلْبِهَا.

3 And Salomon declared vnto her all her questions: nothing was hid from the King, which he expounded not vnto her.

٣ فَأَخْبَرَهَا سُلَيْمَانُ بِكُلِّ كَلَامِهَا. لَمْ يَكُنْ أَمْرٌ مَخْفِيًّا عَنِ ٱلْمَلِكِ لَمْ يُخْبِرْهَا بِهِ.

4 Then the Queene of Sheba sawe all Salomons wisedome, and the house that he had built,

٤ فَلَمَّا رَأَتْ مَلِكَةُ سَبَا كُلَّ حِكْمَةِ سُلَيْمَانَ، وَٱلْبَيْتَ ٱلَّذِي بَنَاهُ،

5 And the meate of his table, and the sitting of his seruants, and the order of his ministers, and their apparel, and his drinking vessels, and his burnt offrings, that he offered in the house of the Lord, and she was greatly astonied.

٥ وَطَعَامَ مَائِدَتِهِ، وَمَجْلِسَ عَبِيدِهِ، وَمَوْقِفَ خُدَّامِهِ وَمَلَابِسَهُمْ، وَسُقَاتَهُ، وَمُحْرَقَاتِهِ ٱلَّتِي كَانَ يُصْعِدُهَا فِي بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ، لَمْ يَبْقَ فِيهَا رُوحٌ بَعْدُ.

6 And shee sayde vnto the King, It was a true worde that I heard in mine owne lande of thy sayings, and of thy wisedome.

٦ فَقَالَتْ لِلْمَلِكِ: «صَحِيحًا كَانَ ٱلْخَبَرُ ٱلَّذِي سَمِعْتُهُ فِي أَرْضِي عَنْ أُمُورِكَ وَعَنْ حِكْمَتِكَ.

7 Howebeit I beleeued not this report till I came, and had seene it with mine eyes: but lo, ye one halfe was not tolde mee: for thou hast more wisedome and prosperitie, then I haue heard by report.

٧ وَلَمْ أُصَدِّقِ ٱلْأَخْبَارَ حَتَّى جِئْتُ وَأَبْصَرَتْ عَيْنَايَ، فَهُوَذَا ٱلنِّصْفُ لَمْ أُخْبَرْ بِهِ. زِدْتَ حِكْمَةً وَصَلَاحًا عَلَى ٱلْخَبَرِ ٱلَّذِي سَمِعْتُهُ.

8 Happy are the men, happie are these thy seruants, which stande euer before thee, and heare thy wisedome.

٨ طُوبَى لِرِجَالِكَ وَطُوبَى لِعَبِيدِكَ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلْوَاقِفِينَ أَمَامَكَ دَائِمًا ٱلسَّامِعِينَ حِكْمَتَكَ.

9 Blessed be the Lord thy God, which loued thee, to set thee on the throne of Israel, because the Lord loued Israel for euer and made thee King to doe equitie and righteousnesse.

٩ لِيَكُنْ مُبَارَكًا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ ٱلَّذِي سُرَّ بِكَ وَجَعَلَكَ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّ إِسْرَائِيلَ. لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ أَحَبَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ جَعَلَكَ مَلِكًا، لِتُجْرِيَ حُكْمًا وَبِرًّا».

10 And she gaue the King sixe score talents of golde, and of sweete odours exceeding much, and precious stones. There came no more such aboundance of sweete odours, as the Queene of Sheba gaue to King Salomon.

١٠ وَأَعْطَتِ ٱلْمَلِكَ مِئَةً وَعِشْرِينَ وَزْنَةَ ذَهَبٍ وَأَطْيَابًا كَثِيرَةً جِدًّا وَحِجَارَةً كَرِيمَةً. لَمْ يَأْتِ بَعْدُ مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ ٱلطِّيبِ فِي ٱلْكَثْرَةِ، ٱلَّذِيِ أَعْطَتْهُ مَلِكَةُ سَبَا لِلْمَلِكِ سُلَيْمَانَ.

11 The nauie also of Hiram (that caried gold from Ophir) brought likewise great plentie of Almuggim trees from Ophir and precious stones.

١١ وَكَذَا سُفُنُ حِيرَامَ ٱلَّتِي حَمَلَتْ ذَهَبًا مِنْ أُوفِيرَ، أَتَتْ مِنْ أُوفِيرَ بِخَشَبِ ٱلصَّنْدَلِ كَثِيرًا جِدًّا وَبِحِجَارَةٍ كَرِيمَةٍ.

12 And the King made of ye Almuggim trees pillars for the house of the Lord, and for ye Kings palace, and made harpes and psalteries for singers. There came no more such Almuggim trees, nor were any more seene vnto this day.

١٢ فَعَمِلَ سُلَيْمَانُ خَشَبَ ٱلصَّنْدَلِ دَرَابَزِينًا لِبَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَبَيْتِ ٱلْمَلِكِ، وَأَعْوَادًا وَرَبَابًا لِلْمُغَنِّينَ. لَمْ يَأْتِ وَلَمْ يُرَ مِثْلُ خَشَبِ ٱلصَّنْدَلِ ذَلِكَ إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ.

13 And King Salomon gaue vnto the Queene of Sheba, whatsoeuer she would aske, besides that, which Salomon gaue her of his kingly liberalitie: so she returned and went to her owne countrey, both shee, and her seruantes.

١٣ وَأَعْطَى ٱلْمَلِكُ سُلَيْمَانُ لِمَلِكَةِ سَبَا كُلَّ مُشْتَهَاهَا ٱلَّذِي طَلَبَتْ، عَدَا مَا أَعْطَاهَا إِيَّاهُ حَسَبَ كَرَمِ ٱلْمَلِكِ سُلَيْمَانَ. فَٱنْصَرَفَتْ وَذَهَبَتْ إِلَى أَرْضِهَا هِيَ وَعَبِيدُهَا.

14 Also the weight of golde, that came to Salomon in one yeere, was sixe hundreth three score and six talents of gold,

١٤ وَكَانَ وَزْنُ ٱلذَّهَبِ ٱلَّذِي أَتَى سُلَيْمَانَ فِي سَنَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ سِتَّ مِئَةٍ وَسِتًّا وَسِتِّينَ وَزْنَةَ ذَهَبٍ.

15 Besides that he had of marchant men and of the marchandises of them that solde spices, and of all the Kinges of Arabia, and of the princes of the countrey.

١٥ مَا عَدَا ٱلَّذِي مِنْ عِنْدِ ٱلتُّجَّارِ وَتِجَارَةِ ٱلتُّجَّارِ وَجَمِيعِ مُلُوكِ ٱلْعَرَبِ وَوُلَاةِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

16 And King Salomon made two hundreth targets of beaten golde, sixe hundreth shekels of gold went to a target:

١٦ وَعَمِلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ سُلَيْمَانُ مِئَتَيْ تُرْسٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ مُطَرَّقٍ، خَصَّ ٱلتُّرْسَ ٱلْوَاحِدَ سِتُّ مِئَةِ شَاقِلٍ مِنَ ٱلذَّهَبِ.

17 And three hundreth shieldes of beaten golde, three pound of gold went to one shielde: and the King put them in the house of the wood of Lebanon.

١٧ وَثَلَاثَ مِئَةِ مِجَنٍّ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ مُطَرَّقٍ. خَصَّ ٱلْمِجَنَّ ثَلَاثَةُ أَمْنَاءٍ مِنَ ٱلذَّهَبِ. وَجَعَلَهَا سُلَيْمَانُ فِي بَيْتِ وَعْرِ لُبْنَانَ.

18 Then the King made a great throne of yuorie, and couered it with the best golde.

١٨ وَعَمِلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ كُرْسِيًّا عَظِيمًا مِنْ عَاجٍ وَغَشَّاهُ بِذَهَبٍ إِبْرِيزٍ.

19 And the throne had six steps, and the top of the throne was round behind, and there were stayes on either side on the place of the throne, and two lions standing by the stayes.

١٩ وَلِلْكُرْسِيِّ سِتُّ دَرَجَاتٍ. وَلِلْكُرْسِيِّ رَأْسٌ مُسْتَدِيرٌ مِنْ وَرَائِهِ، وَيَدَانِ مِنْ هُنَا وَمِنْ هُنَاكَ عَلَى مَكَانِ ٱلْجُلُوسِ، وَأَسَدَانِ وَاقِفَانِ بِجَانِبِ ٱلْيَدَيْنِ.

20 And there stoode twelue lions on the sixe steps on either side: there was not the like made in any kingdome.

٢٠ وَٱثْنَا عَشَرَ أَسَدًا وَاقِفَةً هُنَاكَ عَلَى ٱلدَّرَجَاتِ ٱلسِّتِّ مِنْ هُنَا وَمِنْ هُنَاكَ. لَمْ يُعْمَلْ مِثْلُهُ فِي جَمِيعِ ٱلْمَمَالِكِ.

21 And all King Salomons drinking vessels were of golde, and all the vessels of the house of the woode of Lebanon were of pure golde, none were of siluer: for it was nothing esteemed in the dayes of Salomon.

٢١ وَجَمِيعُ آنِيَةِ شُرْبِ ٱلْمَلِكِ سُلَيْمَانَ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، وَجَمِيعُ آنِيَةِ بَيْتِ وَعْرِ لُبْنَانَ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ خَالِصٍ، لَا فِضَّةٍ، هِيَ لَمْ تُحْسَبْ شَيْئًا فِي أَيَّامِ سُلَيْمَانَ.

22 For the King had on the sea the nauie of Tharshish with the nauie of Hiram: once in three yere came the nauie of Tharshish, and brought golde and siluer, yuorie, and apes and peacockes.

٢٢ لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ لِلْمَلِكِ فِي ٱلْبَحْرِ سُفُنُ تَرْشِيشَ مَعَ سُفُنِ حِيرَامَ. فَكَانَتْ سُفُنُ تَرْشِيشَ تَأْتِي مَرَّةً فِي كُلِّ ثَلَاثِ سَنَوَاتٍ. أَتَتْ سُفُنُ تَرْشِيشَ حَامِلَةً ذَهَبًا وَفِضَّةً وَعَاجًا وَقُرُودًا وَطَوَاوِيسَ.

23 So King Salomon exceeded all the kings of the earth both in riches and in wisedome.

٢٣ فَتَعَاظَمَ ٱلْمَلِكُ سُلَيْمَانُ عَلَى كُلِّ مُلُوكِ ٱلْأَرْضِ فِي ٱلْغِنَى وَٱلْحِكْمَةِ.

24 And al the world sought to see Salomon, to heare his wisedome, which God had put in his heart,

٢٤ وَكَانَتْ كُلُّ ٱلْأَرْضِ مُلْتَمِسَةً وَجْهَ سُلَيْمَانَ لِتَسْمَعَ حِكْمَتَهُ ٱلَّتِي جَعَلَهَا ٱللهُ فِي قَلْبِهِ.

25 And they brought euery man his present, vessels of siluer, and vessels of golde, and raiment, and armour, and sweete odours, horses and mules, from yeere to yeere.

٢٥ وَكَانُوا يَأْتُونَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ بِهَدِيَّتِهِ، بِآنِيَةِ فِضَّةٍ وَآنِيَةِ ذَهَبٍ وَحُلَلٍ وَسِلَاحٍ وَأَطْيَابٍ وَخَيْلٍ وَبِغَالٍ سَنَةً فَسَنَةً.

26 Then Salomon gathered together charrets and horsemen: and he had a thousand and foure hundreth charets, and twelue thousande horsemen, whome hee placed in the charet cities, and with the King at Ierusalem.

٢٦ وَجَمَعَ سُلَيْمَانُ مَرَاكِبَ وَفُرْسَانًا، فَكَانَ لَهُ أَلْفٌ وَأَرْبَعُ مِئَةِ مَرْكَبَةٍ، وَٱثْنَا عَشَرَ أَلْفَ فَارِسٍ، فَأَقَامَهُمْ فِي مُدُنِ ٱلْمَرَاكِبِ وَمَعَ ٱلْمَلِكِ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ.

27 And the King gaue siluer in Ierusalem as stones, and gaue cedars as the wilde figtrees that growe abundantly in the plaine.

٢٧ وَجَعَلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ ٱلْفِضَّةَ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ مِثْلَ ٱلْحِجَارَةِ، وَجَعَلَ ٱلْأَرْزَ مِثْلَ ٱلْجُمَّيْزِ ٱلَّذِي فِي ٱلسَّهْلِ فِي ٱلْكَثْرَةِ.

28 Also Salomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and fine linen: the Kings marchants receiued the linen for a price.

٢٨ وَكَانَ مَخْرَجُ ٱلْخَيْلِ ٱلَّتِي لِسُلَيْمَانَ مِنْ مِصْرَ. وَجَمَاعَةُ تُجَّارِ ٱلْمَلِكِ أَخَذُوا جَلِيبَةً بِثَمَنٍ.

29 There came vp and went out of Egypt some charet, worth sixe hundreth shekels of siluer: that is, one horse, an hundreth and fiftie and thus they brought horses to all the Kings of the Hittites and to the Kings of Aram by their meanes.

٢٩ وَكَانَتِ ٱلْمَرْكَبَةُ تَصْعَدُ وَتَخْرُجُ مِنْ مِصْرَ بِسِتِّ مِئَةِ شَاقِلٍ مِنَ ٱلْفِضَّةِ، وَٱلْفَرَسُ بِمِئَةٍ وَخَمْسِينَ. وَهَكَذَا لِجَمِيعِ مُلُوكِ ٱلْحِثِّيِّينَ وَمُلُوكِ أَرَامَ كَانُوا يُخْرِجُونَ عَنْ يَدِهِمْ.
