Pirmā Ķēniņu 10
1 Un kad Sabas ķēniņiene dzirdēja Salamana slavu, kas tam bija Tā Kunga vārda dēļ, tad viņa nāca, to pārbaudīt ar mīklām.
The queen [who ruled the] Sheba [area] heard that Yahweh had caused Solomon to become famous, so she traveled to Jerusalem to ask him questions that were difficult [to answer].
2 Un tā nāca uz Jeruzālemi ar ļoti lielu pulku, ar kamieļiem, kas nesa dārgas zāles un ļoti daudz zelta un dārgu akmeņu. Un tā nāca pie Salamana un runāja ar viņu visu, kas bija viņas sirdī.
She came with a large group of wealthy/influential people, and she brought camels that were loaded with spices, and valuable gems, and a lot of gold. When she met Solomon, she asked him questions about all the topics/things in which she was interested.
3 Un Salamans viņai izstāstīja visus viņas vārdus; nekas ķēniņam nebija paslēpts, ko viņš tai nebūtu izstāstījis.
Solomon answered all her questions. He explained everything that she asked about, even things that were very difficult.
4 Kad nu Sabas ķēniņiene redzēja visu Salamana gudrību un to namu, ko viņš bija uztaisījis,
The queen realized that Solomon was very wise. She saw his palace;
5 Un viņa galda ēdienus un viņa kalpu dzīvokļus un viņa sulaiņu vietas un viņu drēbes un viņa dzēriena devējus un to ejamo ceļu, kur viņš gāja Tā Kunga namā, tad viņai tikko neaizrāvās(elpa),
she saw the food that was served on his table [every day]; she saw where his officials lived (OR, how his officials were seated at the table), their uniforms, the servants who served the food and wine, and the sacrifices that he took to the temple to be offered. She was extremely amazed.
6 Un tā sacīja uz ķēniņu: tā slava ir patiesīga, ko es savā zemē esmu dzirdējusi par tavu dzīvi un par tavu gudrību.
She said to King Solomon, “Everything that I heard in my own country about you and about how wise you are is true!
7 Un es tai valodai neesmu ticējusi, tiekams esmu atnākusi un savām acīm to redzējusi. Un redzi, man nav ne puse stāstīta; tev ir vairāk gudrības un labuma, nekā tā slava, ko esmu dzirdējusi.
But I did not believe it was true until I came here and saw it myself. But really, what they told me is only half [of what they could have told me about you]. You are extremely wise and rich, more than what people told me.
8 Svētīgi tavi ļaudis, svētīgi šie tavi kalpi, kas vienmēr stāv tavā priekšā, un dzird tavu gudrību.
Your wives are very fortunate! Your officials who are constantly standing in front of you and listening to the wise things that you say are also fortunate!
9 Slavēts lai ir Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, kam ir labs prāts uz tevi, ka tevi cēlis uz Israēla goda krēslu; tāpēc ka Tas Kungs Israēli mīļo mūžīgi, Viņš tevi iecēlis par ķēniņu, darīt tiesu un taisnību.
Praise Yahweh, your God, who has shown that he is pleased with you by causing you to become the king of Israel! God has always loved the Israeli people, and therefore he has appointed you to be their king, in order that you will rule them fairly and righteously.”
10 Un viņa deva ķēniņam simts un divdesmit talentus zelta un ļoti daudz dārgu zāļu un dārgu akmeņu; tik daudz dārgu zāļu vairs tur nenonāca, kā Sabas ķēniņiene bija devusi ķēniņam Salamanam.
Then the queen gave to the king [the things that she had brought. She gave him] almost five tons of gold and a large amount of spices and valuable gems. Never again did King Solomon receive more spices than the queen gave him at that time.
11 Un arī Hirama kuģi, kas no Ofira zeltu atveda, nesa no Ofira ļoti daudz Almuģim koku un dārgu akmeņu.
In the ships that belonged to King Hiram, in which they had previously brought gold from Ophir, they also brought a large amount of juniper wood and gems/valuable stones.
12 Un ķēniņš Salamans taisīja no Almuģim koka stabus priekš Tā Kunga nama un priekš ķēniņa nama un kokles un stabules dziedātājiem. Tāds Almuģim koks nebija vēl nācis nedz redzēts līdz šai dienai.
King Solomon told his workers to use that wood to make railings/supports in the temple of Yahweh and in the king’s palace and also to make harps and lyres for the (musicians/men who played musical instruments). That wood was the largest amount of (OR, the finest) wood that had ever been seen [in Israel]. And no one since then has ever seen so much wood of that kind.
13 Un ķēniņš Salamans deva Sabas ķēniņienei visu, ko tā gribēja un prasīja, bez tā, ko ķēniņš Salamans viņai deva pats no sevis. Un tā griezās atpakaļ un aizgāja ar saviem kalpiem atkal uz savu zemi.
King Solomon gave to the queen from Sheba everything that she wanted. He gave her those gifts in addition to the gifts that he always gave [to other rulers who visited him]. Then she and the people who came with her returned to her own land.
14 Un tā zelta svars, kas Salamanam ienāca vienā gadā, bija sešsimt sešdesmit un seši talenti zelta,
Each year there was brought to Solomon a total of 25 tons of gold.
15 Bez tiem ienākumiem no veikalniekiem un no tirgotājiem un no visiem Arābijas ķēniņiem un no visiem zemes pārvaldniekiem.
That was in addition to [the taxes] paid to him by the merchants and traders, and the annual taxes paid by the kings of Arabia and by the governors of [the regions in] Israel.
16 Un ķēniņš Salamans taisīja divsimt priekšturamās bruņas no kalta zelta, sešsimt zelta gabalus viņš deva priekš vienām priekšturamām bruņām,
King Solomon’s workers [took this] gold and hammered it into thin sheets and covered 200 large shields with those thin sheets of gold; they put (almost 15 pounds/more than 6 kg.) of gold on each shield.
17 Un trīssimt sedzamās bruņas no kalta zelta, trīs mārciņas zelta viņš deva priekš vienām sedzamām bruņām. Un ķēniņš tās ielika Lībanus koku namā.
His workers made 300 smaller shields. They covered each of them with (almost 4 pounds/1.5 kg.) of gold. Then the king put those shields in the Hall of the Forest of Lebanon.
18 Un ķēniņš taisīja arī lielu goda krēslu no ziloņkaula un to pārvilka ar tīru zeltu.
His workers also made for him a large throne. [Part of it was] covered with (ivory [decorations made from)] tusks of elephants and [part of it was covered] with very fine gold.
19 Šim krēslam bija seši pakāpieni, un tā krēsla mugura augšpusē bija apaļa, un abējos sānos bija lēnes(roku balsti) ap sēdekli, un divas lauvas stāvēja pie tām lēnēm.
There were six steps in front of the throne. There was a statue of a lion on both sides of each step. So altogether there were twelve statues of lions. The back of the throne was rounded at the top. At each side of the throne there was an armrest, and alongside each armrest there was a small statue of a lion. No throne like that had ever existed in any other kingdom.
20 Un divpadsmit lauvas tur stāvēja uz tiem sešiem pakāpieniem abējās pusēs; tāds nevienā valstī nav taisīts.
21 Un visi ķēniņa Salamana dzeramie trauki bija no zelta, un visi trauki Lībanus koku namā bija no tīra zelta. Sudraba tur nebija, jo Salamana laikā to neturēja par neko.
All of Solomon’s cups were made of gold, and all the various dishes in the Hall of the Forest of Lebanon were made of gold. They did not make things from silver, because during the years that Solomon [ruled], silver was not considered to be valuable.
22 Bet ķēniņam bija lieli kuģi jūrā (kopā) ar Hirama kuģiem; šie kuģi nāca pa trim gadiem vienreiz atpakaļ un pārveda zeltu un sudrabu, ziloņkaulu un mērkaķus un pāvus.
The king had a (fleet/large number) of ships that sailed with the ships that King Hiram owned. Every three years the ships returned [from the places to which they had sailed], bringing gold, silver, ivory, monkeys, and baboons (OR, peacocks).
23 Tā ķēniņš Salamans kļuva lielāks nekā visi ķēniņi virs zemes bagātībā un gudrībā.
King Solomon became richer and wiser than any other king.
24 Un visa pasaule meklēja Salamanu redzēt, ka tie viņa gudrību dzirdētu, ko Dievs viņam bija devis sirdī.
People from all over the world wanted to come and listen to the wise things that Solomon said, things that God had put into his mind.
25 Un ikkatrs no tiem atnesa dāvanas, sudraba un zelta traukus un drēbes un ieročus un dārgas zāles un zirgus un zirgēzeļus, tā bija gadu no gada.
All the people who came to him brought presents: They brought things made from silver or gold, or robes, or weapons (OR, myrrh), or spices, or horses, or mules. The people continued to do this every year.
26 Un Salamans sakrāja ratus un jātniekus, un viņam bija tūkstoš un četrsimt rati un divpadsmit tūkstoš jātnieki, un viņš tos lika tais ratu pilsētās un Jeruzālemē pie ķēniņa.
Solomon acquired 1,400 chariots and 12,000 men who rode [on the horses] (OR, [in the chariots]). Solomon put some of them in Jerusalem and some of them in other cities where he kept his chariots.
27 Un ķēniņš darīja, ka Jeruzālemē bija tik daudz sudraba kā akmeņu, un tik daudz ciedru koku kā meža vīģes koku ielejā.
During the years that Solomon was king, silver became as common in Jerusalem as stones; and [lumber from] cedar trees in the foothills of Judah was as plentiful as [lumber from] fig trees.
28 Un Salamanam atveda no Ēģiptes zirgus, un pulks ķēniņa tirgotāju pirka šos pulkiem par naudu.
Solomon’s agents bought horses and supervised the men who brought them into Israel from the areas of Musri and Cilicia [that were famous for breeding horses].
29 Un rati no Ēģiptes tapa atvesti par sešsimt sudraba gabaliem, un viens zirgs par simt piecdesmit. Un tā caur viņu roku tie tapa atvesti visiem Hetiešu ķēniņiem un Sīrijas ķēniņiem.
In Musri they bought chariots and horses; they paid 600 pieces of silver for each chariot and 150 pieces of silver for each horse. They brought them to Israel. Then they sold many of them to the kings of the Heth people-group and the kings of Syria.
