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 concerning the name of the LORD, she came to try him with hard questions.
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 a very great train, with camels that bore spices, and very much gold, and precious stones: and when she had come to Solomon, she talked with him of all that was in her heart.
3 И возвести ей Соломон вся глаголы ея: и не бе слово презрено от царя, егоже не возвести ей.
And Solomon answered all her questions: there was not any thing hid from the king, which he told her not.
4 И виде царица Савска весь смысл Соломонь и дом егоже созда,
And when the queen of Sheba had seen 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 cupbearers, and his ascent by which he went up to 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, It was a true report 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:
However I believed not the words, until I came, and my eyes had seen it: and, behold, the half was not told me: thy wisdom and prosperity exceed the fame which I 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 continually before thee, and that 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 delighted in thee, to set thee on the throne of Israel: because the LORD loved Israel for ever, therefore he made thee king, to do judgment and justice.
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 the king an hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices a very great quantity, and precious stones: there came no more such abundance of spices 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 the navy also of Hiram, that brought gold from Ophir, brought in from Ophir great plenty of almug trees, 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 almug trees pillars for the house of the LORD, and for the king’s house, harps also and psalteries for singers: there came no such almug trees, nor have they been seen to 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 to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she asked, besides that which Solomon gave her of his royal bounty. So she turned 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 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.
Besides what he had of the merchants, and of the trade of the spice merchants, and of all the kings of Arabia, 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 shields of beaten gold: six hundred shekels of gold went to one shield.
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 pounds of gold went to 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:
Moreover the king 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 the top of the throne was round 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 on the one side and on the other upon the six steps: there was not the like made in any 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 considered as any thing in the days of Solomon.
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 at sea a navy of Tharshish with the navy of Hiram: once in three years came the navy of Tharshish, bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
23 И возвеличися Соломон паче всех царей земных и богатством и смыслом.
So king Solomon exceeded 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 all the earth consulted 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 armour, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate 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 chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, whom he bestowed in the cities for chariots, and with 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 made silver to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars he made to be as the sycamore trees that are in the vale, for abundance.
28 И привождаху Соломону кони от Египта и от Фекуя купцы царстии и куповаху от Фекуя променою.
And Solomon had horses brought from Egypt, and linen yarn: the king’s merchants received the linen yarn 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 came up and went out of Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and an horse for an 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.
