2 Chronicles 9
1 When the queen of Sheba heard of Solomon's fame, she came to Jerusalem to test him with hard questions. She came with a very long caravan, with camels loaded with spices, much gold, and many precious gemstones. When she had come to Solomon, she told him all that was in her heart.
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.
2 Solomon answered her all her questions; nothing was too difficult for Solomon; there was no question that he did not answer.
И возвести ей Соломон вся словеса ея, и не прейде слово, егоже бы не возвестил ей.
3 When the queen of Sheba saw Solomon's wisdom and the palace that he had built,
И виде царица Савска премудрость Соломоню, и дом егоже созда,
4 the food on his table, the seating of his servants, the work of his servants and their clothing, also his cupbearers and their clothing, and the burnt offerings he made at the house of Yahweh, and there was no more breath in her.
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.
5 She said to the king, “It is true, the report that I heard in my own land of your words and your wisdom.
Рече же ко царю: истинно есть слово, еже слышах в земли моей о словесех твоих и о премудрости твоей:
6 I did not believe what I heard until I came here, and now my eyes have seen it. Not half was told me about your wisdom and wealth! You have exceeded the fame that I heard about.
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:
7 How blessed are your people, and how blessed are your servants who constantly stand before you, because they hear your wisdom.
блажени мужие твои и блажени раби твои сии, иже предстоят пред тобою на всяко время и слышат премудрость твою:
8 Blessed be Yahweh your God, who has taken pleasure in you, who placed you on his throne, to be king for Yahweh your God. Because your God loved Israel, in order to establish them forever, he had made you king over them, for you to do justice and righteousness!”
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.
9 She gave the king 120 talents of gold and a large amount of spices and precious stones. No greater amount of spices as these that the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon was ever given to him again.
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.
10 The servants of Hiram and the servants of Solomon, who brought gold from Ophir, also brought algum wood and precious stones.
Но и раби Хирамовы с рабы Соломоними приношаху злато Соломону драгое.
11 With the algum wood, the king made steps for the house of Yahweh and for his house, as well as harps and lyres for the musicians. No wood like this had been seen before in the land of Judah.
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.
12 King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba everything she desired and whatever she asked for; he gave her more than what she had brought to the king. So she left and went back to her own land, she and her servants.
Царь же Соломон даде царице Савстей вся по желанию ея, ихже просила, кроме всех яже принесе царю Соломону, и возвратися в землю свою.
13 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was 666 talents of gold,
Бе же вес злата приносимаго к Соломону на всяко лето шесть сот шестьдесят шесть талант злата,
14 besides the gold that the traders and merchants brought. All the kings of Arabia and the governors in the country also brought gold and silver to Solomon.
кроме мужей подданных и купцов, иже приношаху, и всех царей Аравских и властелей земли, иже вси приношаху злато и сребро царю Соломону.
15 King Solomon made two hundred large shields of beaten gold. Six hundred shekels of gold went into each one.
Сотвори убо царь Соломон двести щитов златых тягненых, шесть сот златник чистых бяху во единем щите:
16 He also made three hundred shields of beaten gold. Three minas of gold went into each shield; the king put them into the House of the Forest of Lebanon.
и триста щитов златых тягненых, по триста златник бяше во единем коемждо щите, и положи я царь в дому древа Ливанова.
17 Then the king made a great throne of ivory and overlaid it with the finest gold.
Сотвори же царь престол от слоновых зубов велик, и позлати его златом чистым,
18 There were six steps to the throne, and a footstool was attached to the throne. On each side of the throne there were armrests with two lions standing beside each of them.
и шесть степений у престола позлащени златом, и мышчицы две туду и сюду над престолом седалища, и два льва стояща близ мышчцей,
19 Twelve lions stood on the steps, one on each side of each of the six steps. There was no throne like it in any other kingdom.
и дванадесять львов стоящих тамо на шести степенех от обоих стран: и не бысть таков престол во всяцем царстве.
20 All King Solomon's drinking cups were gold, and all the drinking cups in the House of the Forest of Lebanon were of pure gold. None were silver because silver was not considered valuable in Solomon's days.
Вси же сосуди царя Соломона бяху златы, и вси сосуди дому дубравы Ливанския златом окружены, сребро бо во днех Соломоних ни во что вменяшеся:
21 The king had at sea a fleet of oceangoing ships, along with the fleet of Hiram. Once every three years the fleet brought gold, silver, and ivory, as well as apes and baboons.
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.
22 So King Solomon exceeded all the kings of the world in riches and in wisdom.
И возвеличися Соломон паче всех царей земных богатством и мудростию.
23 All the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon in order to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
Вси же царие земстии желаху видети лице Соломоне и слышати премудрость его, юже даде Бог в сердце его:
24 Those who visited brought tribute, vessels of silver and of gold, clothes, armor, and spices, as well as horses and mules, year after year.
и приношаху ему кийждо дары своя, сосуды сребряны и златы, и одеяния и стакту, и сладости, кони и мски, на всякое лето.
25 Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, which he stationed in the chariot cities and with himself in Jerusalem.
И бяху царю Соломону четыредесять тысящ кобылиц к колесницы и дванадесять тысящ конник, и постави их во градех колесничных и со царем во Иерусалиме.
26 He ruled over all the kings from the Euphrates River to the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt.
И быть вождь всех царей от реки (Евфрата) даже до земли иноплеменник и даже до предел Египетских.
27 The king had silver in Jerusalem, as much as the stones on the ground. He made cedar wood to be as abundant as the sycamore fig trees that are in the lowlands.
И даде царь злато и сребро во Иерусалиме яко камение, и кедры яко черничие, еже (раждается) в полях множество.
28 They brought horses for Solomon from Egypt and from all the lands.
И приводяху кони Соломону от Египта и от всея земли.
29 As for the other matters concerning Solomon, first and last, are they not written in The History of Nathan the Prophet, in The Prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in The Visions of Iddo the Seer (which also had information about Jeroboam son of Nebat)?
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.
30 Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel for forty years.
И царствова Соломон во Иерусалиме над всем Израилем четыредесять лет.
31 He slept with his ancestors and the people buried him in the city of David his father. Rehoboam, his son, became king in his place.
И успе Соломон со отцы своими, и погребоша его во граде Давида отца его. И воцарися Ровоам сын его вместо его.
