Третья книга Царств 10

1 И царица Савска услыша имя Соломоне и имя Господне, и прииде искусити его притчами:

And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon in connection with the name of the Lord, she came to prove him with riddles.

2 и прииде во Иерусалим с силою тяжкою зело: и на велблюдех привезоша ароматы и злата много зело, и камение драгое: и вниде к Соломону и глагола ему вся, елика име на сердцы своем.

And she came to Jerusalem with an exceedingly great train, with camels bearing spices, and gold in great abundance, and precious stones: and when she was come to Solomon, she spoke with him of all that was on her heart.

3 И возвести ей Соломон вся глаголы ея: и не бе слово презрено от царя, егоже не возвести ей.

And Solomon solved [for] her all her questions: nothing remained hidden from the king, which he did not tell her.

4 И виде царица Савска весь смысл Соломонь и дом егоже созда,

And when the queen of Sheba saw all Solomon's wisdom, and the house that he had built,

5 и снеди Соломони, и жилища отроков его, и предстояние служащих ему, и облачение его, и виночерпцы его, и всесожжения его, яже приношаше во храме Господни, и вне себе бысть,

And the food of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel, and his cup-bearers, and his ascent by which he went up unto the house of the Lord: there was no more spirit in her.

6 и рече к Соломону царю: истинна суть словеса, яже слышах в земли моей,

And she said to the king, The truth only was the word that I heard in my own land of thy acts and of thy wisdom.

7 о словесех твоих и о смысле твоем: и не ях веры глаголющым ми, дондеже приидох семо, и видеста очи мои: и се, несть ни пол того, якоже ми поведаша: приложил еси премудрость и благая к сим паче всякаго слуха, егоже слышах в земли моей:

And I believed not in the words, until I came, and my eyes saw [all]: and, behold, the half hath not been told me; thou excellest in wisdom and prosperity the report which I have heard.

8 блаженны жены твоя, блажени отроцы твои сии, иже предстоят пред тобою всегда, слышаще всякий смысл твой:

Happy are thy men, happy are these thy servants, who stand before thee continually, who hear thy wisdom.

9 буди Господь Бог твой благословен, иже восхоте тя дати на престол Израилев, понеже возлюби Господь Израиля утвердити во веки и постави тя царя над ними творити суд в правде и в судбах их.

Blessed be the Lord thy God, who hath had delight in thee, to place thee on the throne of Israel; because the Lord loveth Israel for ever, therefore hath he made thee king, to do justice and righteousness.

10 И даде Соломону сто и двадесять талант злата, и ароматы многи зело, и камение драгое: не приидоша еще таковыя ароматы во множестве, яже даде царица Савска царю Соломону.

And she gave to the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices a very great store, and precious stones: there came no more spices in such abundance as these which the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.

11 И корабль Хирамль приносящь злато из Софира, (и) принесе древа нетесана многа зело, и камение драгое.

And also the ship of Hiram, that fetched gold from Ophir, brought in from Ophir in great abundance sandal-wood and precious stones.

12 И сотвори царь древом нетесаным подпоры храму Господню и дому цареву, и сопели и гусли певцем: не приидоша по сем таковая древеса нетесаная на земли, ниже видена быша где даже до дне сего.

And the king made of the sandal-wood a railing for the house of the Lord, and for the king's house, and harps and psalteries for the singers: there came no such sandal-wood, nor was it seen [again] until this day.

13 И царь Соломон даде царице Савстей вся, елика восхоте и елики проси у него, кроме всех, яже даде ей рукама своима Соломон царь, и возвратися, и отиде в землю свою, сама и вси отроцы ея.

And king Solomon gave unto the queen of Sheba all her pleasure, whatsoever she asked, beside what Solomon gave her of his royal bounty. So she turned about and went to her own country, she and her servants.

14 И бе вес принесеннаго злата Соломону во едино лето шесть сот и шестьдесят и шесть талант злата,

Now the weight of the gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty and six talents of gold,

15 кроме даней от подданных и от купцов и от всех царей странных и от воевод земных.

Beside [what he had] of the traveling tradesmen, and of the traffic of the merchants, and of the kings of confederate nations, and of the governors of the country.

16 И сотвори царь Соломон триста копий златых кованных, по триста златых во едино копие вдела:

And king Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold: six hundred shekels of gold he used for each one target.

17 и триста щитов кованных златых, по три литры злата бяше на коемждо щите: и даде я царь во храм дубравы Ливанския.

And [he made] three hundred shields of beaten gold; three manehs of gold he used for each one shield: and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.

18 И сотвори царь престол от костей слоновых велий и позлати его златом искушеным:

The king also made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with the best gold.

19 шесть степеней престолу, и образы телцов престолу созади, и верх престола кругл бе созади его, и руце сюду и сюду на престоле седалища, и два льва стояща при руках,

The throne had six steps, and there was a round top on the throne behind; and there were arms on either side on the place of the seat, and two lions stood beside the arms.

20 и дванадесять львы стояще ту на шести степенех сюду и сюду: не бяше тако во всяком царстве.

And twelve lions stood there upon the six steps on both sides: there was not the like made in any other kingdom.

21 И вси сосуди, иже бяху при царе Соломоне, злати беша, и умывалницы златы и вси сосуди в храме дубравы Ливанския златокованны: не бяше сребра, понеже за ничто бе сребро во дни Соломони:

And all king Solomon's drinking-vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold; none were of silver; it was not valued in the days of Solomon at the least.

22 корабль бо Фарсийский царю Соломону на мори с корабли Хирамлими, единою во триех летех прихождаше цареви корабль из Фарсиса и приношаше злато и сребро, и зубы слоновы, и пифики и павы, и камение точеное и тесаное.

For the king had a Tharshish-ship at sea with the ship of Hiram: once in three years the Tharshish-ship used to come home, laden with gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.

23 И возвеличися Соломон паче всех царей земных и богатством и смыслом.

And king Solomon became greater than all the kings of the earth for riches and for wisdom.

24 И вси царие земстии искаху видети лице Соломона, еже бы услышати смысла его, егоже даде ему Господь в сердцы его:

And [men of] all the earth sought the presence of Solomon to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.

25 и тии приношаху кийждо дары своя, и сосуды златы и сребряны, и ризы, стакти и сладкости, и кони и мски на всякое лето.

And they brought every man his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and armor, and spices, horses, and mules: and so year by year.

26 И собра Соломон колесницы и кони, и бяху Соломону четыредесять тысящ кобылиц в колесницы, и дванадесять тысящ конных: и постави я во градех колесниц, а (друзии бяху) у царя во Иерусалиме: и бе властелин всем царем от реки и до земли иноплеменник и до предел Египта.

And Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, whom he quartered in the cities for chariots, and near the king at Jerusalem.

27 И сложи царь злато и сребро во Иерусалиме якоже камение, и кедры сложи якоже черничие, еже на поли во множестве.

And the king rendered the silver in Jerusalem like stones, and the cedars he rendered like the sycamore-trees that are in the lowlands, for abundance.

28 И привождаху Соломону кони от Египта и от Фекуя купцы царстии и куповаху от Фекуя променою.

And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt; and a company of the king's merchants bought a quantity at a price.

29 И прихождаху колесницы из Египта за шесть сот сребреник, и конь за сто пятьдесят сребреник: такожде и ко всем царем Хеттимским и Сирийским по морю исхождаху.

And a chariot-team came up and went out of Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty: and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, did they bring them out by their means.
