Вторая книга Паралипоменон 9
1 Царица же Савска услыша имя Соломоново и прииде искусити его гаданьми во Иерусалиме с силою тяжкою зело: и велблюды носящии ароматы и злата множество и камения драгаго: и прииде к Соломону и глагола ему вся, елика беша в сердцы ея.
When the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to test Solomon with hard questions at Jerusalem, with a very great caravan, including camels that bore spices, gold in abundance, and precious stones. When she had come to Solomon, she talked with him about all that was in her heart.
2 И возвести ей Соломон вся словеса ея, и не прейде слово, егоже бы не возвестил ей.
Solomon answered all her questions. There wasn’t anything hidden from Solomon which he didn’t tell her.
3 И виде царица Савска премудрость Соломоню, и дом егоже созда,
When the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, the house that he had built,
4 и яди столов его, и седалища рабов его, и состояние служебников его и ризы их, и виночерпчия его и украшение их, и всесожжения, яже жряше в дому Господни, и вне себе бысть.
the food of his table, the seating of his servants, the attendance of his ministers, their clothing, his cup bearers and their clothing, and his ascent by which he went up to the LORD’s house, there was no more spirit in her.
5 Рече же ко царю: истинно есть слово, еже слышах в земли моей о словесех твоих и о премудрости твоей:
She said to the king, “It was a true report that I heard in my own land of your acts and of your wisdom.
6 и не веровах словесем их, дондеже приидох, и видеста очи мои, и се, не возвестиша мне половины множества премудрости твоея: приложил еси ко слышанию яже слышах:
However I didn’t believe their words until I came, and my eyes had seen it; and behold half of the greatness of your wisdom wasn’t told me. You exceed the fame that I heard!
7 блажени мужие твои и блажени раби твои сии, иже предстоят пред тобою на всяко время и слышат премудрость твою:
Happy are your men, and happy are these your servants, who stand continually before you and hear your wisdom.
8 да будет Господь Бог твой благословен, иже благоволи в тебе, еже дати тя на престол Свой царя Господу Богу твоему: зане возлюби Господь Бог твой Израиля, еже утвердити его во век, и постави тя над ними царя, да сотвориши суд и правду.
Blessed be the LORD your God, who delighted in you and set you on his throne to be king for the LORD your God, because your God loved Israel, to establish them forever. Therefore he made you king over them, to do justice and righteousness.”
9 Даде же царю сто двадесять талант злата и ароматы многи зело и камение драгое, и не быша ароматы таковы яко сия, яже даде царица Савска царю Соломону.
She gave the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold, spices in great abundance, and precious stones. There was never before such spice as the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.
10 Но и раби Хирамовы с рабы Соломоними приношаху злато Соломону драгое.
The servants of Huram and the servants of Solomon, who brought gold from Ophir, also brought algum trees and precious stones.
11 И сотвори Соломон царь от древ певговых степени в дом Господень и в дом царев, и гусли и псалтири песней, и никогдаже видена быша в земли Иудине прежде такоая.
The king used algum tree wood to make terraces for the LORD’s house and for the king’s house, and harps and stringed instruments for the singers. There were none like these seen before in the land of Judah.
12 Царь же Соломон даде царице Савстей вся по желанию ея, ихже просила, кроме всех яже принесе царю Соломону, и возвратися в землю свою.
King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she asked, more than that which she had brought to the king. So she turned and went to her own land, she and her servants.
13 Бе же вес злата приносимаго к Соломону на всяко лето шесть сот шестьдесят шесть талант злата,
Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold,
14 кроме мужей подданных и купцов, иже приношаху, и всех царей Аравских и властелей земли, иже вси приношаху злато и сребро царю Соломону.
in addition to that which the traders and merchants brought. All the kings of Arabia and the governors of the country brought gold and silver to Solomon.
15 Сотвори убо царь Соломон двести щитов златых тягненых, шесть сот златник чистых бяху во единем щите:
King Solomon made two hundred large shields of beaten gold. Six hundred shekels of beaten gold went to one large shield.
16 и триста щитов златых тягненых, по триста златник бяше во единем коемждо щите, и положи я царь в дому древа Ливанова.
He made three hundred shields of beaten gold. Three hundred shekels of gold went to one shield. The king put them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon.
17 Сотвори же царь престол от слоновых зубов велик, и позлати его златом чистым,
Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold.
18 и шесть степений у престола позлащени златом, и мышчицы две туду и сюду над престолом седалища, и два льва стояща близ мышчцей,
There were six steps to the throne, with a footstool of gold, which were fastened to the throne, and armrests on either side by the place of the seat, and two lions standing beside the armrests.
19 и дванадесять львов стоящих тамо на шести степенех от обоих стран: и не бысть таков престол во всяцем царстве.
Twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other on the six steps. There was nothing like it made in any other kingdom.
20 Вси же сосуди царя Соломона бяху златы, и вси сосуди дому дубравы Ливанския златом окружены, сребро бо во днех Соломоних ни во что вменяшеся:
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. Silver was not considered valuable in the days of Solomon.
21 зане корабль царев хождаше в Фарсис с рабы Хирамовыми, единицею в лета три прихождаше корабль от Фарсиса ко царю, полн злата и сребра и зубов слоновых и обезян.
For the king had ships that went to Tarshish with Huram’s servants. Once every three years, the ships of Tarshish came bringing gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks.
22 И возвеличися Соломон паче всех царей земных богатством и мудростию.
So King Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.
23 Вси же царие земстии желаху видети лице Соломоне и слышати премудрость его, юже даде Бог в сердце его:
All the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
24 и приношаху ему кийждо дары своя, сосуды сребряны и златы, и одеяния и стакту, и сладости, кони и мски, на всякое лето.
They each brought tribute: vessels of silver, vessels of gold, clothing, armour, spices, horses, and mules every year.
25 И бяху царю Соломону четыредесять тысящ кобылиц к колесницы и дванадесять тысящ конник, и постави их во градех колесничных и со царем во Иерусалиме.
Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen that he stationed in the chariot cities and with the king at Jerusalem.
26 И быть вождь всех царей от реки (Евфрата) даже до земли иноплеменник и даже до предел Египетских.
He ruled over all the kings from the River even to the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt.
27 И даде царь злато и сребро во Иерусалиме яко камение, и кедры яко черничие, еже (раждается) в полях множество.
The king made silver as common in Jerusalem as stones, and he made cedars to be as abundant as the sycamore trees that are in the lowland.
28 И приводяху кони Соломону от Египта и от всея земли.
They brought horses for Solomon out of Egypt and out of all lands.
29 И прочая словеса Соломоня первая и последняя, се, сия писана суть в словесех Нафана пророка и в словесех Ахии Силониты и в видениих Иоиля видящаго, противу Иеровоама сына Наватова.
Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last, aren’t they written in the history of Nathan the prophet, and in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Iddo the seer concerning Jeroboam the son of Nebat?
30 И царствова Соломон во Иерусалиме над всем Израилем четыредесять лет.
Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years.
31 И успе Соломон со отцы своими, и погребоша его во граде Давида отца его. И воцарися Ровоам сын его вместо его.
Solomon slept with his fathers, and he was buried in his father David’s city; and Rehoboam his son reigned in his place.
