Третья книга Царств 10
1 И царица Савска услыша имя Соломоне и имя Господне, и прииде искусити его притчами:
When the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning Yahweh’s name, she came to test 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.
She came to Jerusalem with a very great caravan, with camels that bore spices, very much gold, and precious stones; and when she had come to Solomon, she talked with him about 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.
Solomon answered all her questions. There wasn’t anything hidden from the king which he didn’t tell her.
4 И виде царица Савска весь смысл Соломонь и дом егоже созда,
When the queen of Sheba had seen all the wisdom of Solomon, 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,
the food of his table, the sitting of his servants, the attendance of his officials, their clothing, his cup bearers, and his ascent by which he went up to Yahweh’s house, there was no more spirit in her.
6 и рече к Соломону царю: истинна суть словеса, яже слышах в земли моей,
She said to the king, “It was a true report that I heard in my own land of your acts and of your 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 didn’t believe the words until I came and my eyes had seen it. Behold, not even half was told me! Your 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 your men, happy are these your servants who stand continually before you, who hear your 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 is Yahweh your God, who delighted in you, to set you on the throne of Israel. Because Yahweh loved Israel forever, therefore he made you 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.
She gave the king one hundred twenty talents of gold, and a very great quantity of spices, and precious stones. Never again was there such an 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.
The fleet of Hiram that brought gold from Ophir also brought in from Ophir great quantities 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.
The king made of the almug trees pillars for Yahweh’s house and for the king’s house, harps also and stringed instruments for the singers; no such almug trees came or were 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.
King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she asked, in addition to that which Solomon gave her of his royal bounty. So she turned and went to her own land, 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 sixty-six talents of gold,
15 кроме даней от подданных и от купцов и от всех царей странных и от воевод земных.
in addition to that which the traders brought, and the traffic of the merchants, and of all the kings of the mixed people, and of the governors of the country.
16 И сотвори царь Соломон триста копий златых кованных, по триста златых во едино копие вдела:
King Solomon made two hundred bucklers of beaten gold; six hundred shekels of gold went to one buckler.
17 и триста щитов кованных златых, по три литры злата бяше на коемждо щите: и даде я царь во храм дубравы Ливанския.
He made three hundred shields of beaten gold; three minas 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 finest 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,
There were six steps to the throne, and the top of the throne was round behind; and there were armrests on either side by the place of the seat, and two lions standing beside the armrests.
20 и дванадесять львы стояще ту на шести степенех сюду и сюду: не бяше тако во всяком царстве.
Twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other on the six steps. Nothing like it was 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:
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, because it was considered of little value 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 a fleet of ships of Tarshish at sea with Hiram’s fleet. Once every three years the fleet of Tarshish came bringing gold, silver, ivory, 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 in riches and in wisdom.
24 И вси царие земстии искаху видети лице Соломона, еже бы услышати смысла его, егоже даде ему Господь в сердцы его:
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.
Year after year, every man brought his tribute, vessels of silver, vessels of gold, clothing, armor, spices, horses, and mules.
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.
Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen. He had one thousand four hundred chariots and twelve thousand horsemen. He kept them in the chariot cities 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.
The king made silver as common as stones in Jerusalem, and cedars as common as the sycamore trees that are in the lowland.
28 И привождаху Соломону кони от Египта и от Фекуя купцы царстии и куповаху от Фекуя променою.
The horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt. The king’s merchants received them in droves, each drove 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.
A chariot was imported from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for one hundred fifty shekels; and so they exported them to all the kings of the Hittites and to the kings of Syria.
