1 Kings 10
1 When the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning Yahweh’s name, she came to test him with hard questions.
BOEIPA ming dongah Solomon kah olthang te Sheba manghainu loh a yaak vaengah olkael neh anih te noemcai ham ha pawk.
2 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.
Jerusalem la tatthai a muep ayet neh, botui neh sui muep a yet, lung vang aka phuei kalauk neh pawk. Solomon taengla a pha vaengah a thinko ah a om bangla a cungkuem te a taengah a thui pah.
3 Solomon answered all her questions. There wasn’t anything hidden from the king which he didn’t tell her.
Anih ol boeih te Solomon loh a taengah a hlat pah. Anih taengah a hlat pah pawt ham khaw manghai ham ol a hlael a om moenih.
4 When the queen of Sheba had seen all the wisdom of Solomon, the house that he had built,
Sheba manghainu loh Solomon kah cueihnah cungkuem neh im a sak te khaw,
5 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.
a caboei dongkah caak neh a sal rhoek kah ngolhmuen, ngolhmuen dongah aka thotat rhoek kah a thohtat, a hnicu neh a tuitul rhoek, BOEIPA im kah a nawn a hmueihhlutnah te ahmuh vaengah a khuiah a mueihla om voel pawh.
6 She said to the king, “It was a true report that I heard in my own land of your acts and of your wisdom.
Te dongah manghai te, “Nang kah olka neh nang kah cueihnah he kamah kho ah ka yaak bangla olthang he oltak la om coeng.
7 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.
Ka pawk hlan hil tah olka la ka tangnah moenih, ka mik loh a hmuh vaengah tah kai hamla rhakthuem pataeng a thui moenih ko he. Olthang ka yaak lakah khaw cueihnah neh kawnthen neh na coih.
8 Happy are your men, happy are these your servants who stand continually before you, who hear your wisdom.
Na hlang rhoek loh a yoethen, na sal rhoek khaw a yoethen, na mikhmuh kah aka pai rhoek khaw na cueihnah a yaak uh taitu.
9 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.”
Nang dongah hmae tih BOEIPA loh kumhal hil Israel a lungnah dongah Israel ngolkhoel dongah nang aka khueh BOEIPA na Pathen tah a yoethen pai. Te dongah nang te tiktamnah neh duengnah saii ham ni manghai la ng'khueh,” a ti nah.
10 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.
Te vaengah manghai taengla a paek te sui talent ya pakul lo tih botui neh lung vang khaw bahoeng yet. Sheba manghainu loh manghai Solomon taengah a khawk la apaek botui bang he koep a phoe noek moenih.
11 The fleet of Hiram that brought gold from Ophir also brought in from Ophir great quantities of almug trees and precious stones.
Khiram kah sangpho long khaw Ophir lamkah sui a khuen pah. Ophir lamloh a khuen almak thing neh lung vang khaw bahoeng yet.
12 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.
Manghai loh almak thing te BOEIPA im neh manghai im kah longkawn la, laa aka sa rhoek ham rhotoeng neh thangpa la a saii pah. Tahae khohnin due almak thing te yet te om noek pawt tih a hmuh noek moneih.
13 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.
Manghai Solomon loh manghainu Sheba te a kongaih boeih a rhoi pah. Solomon manghai kah kutmuei voel ah anih te a bih sarhui a paek thil pueng. Te phoeiah anih te mael tih a sal rhoek neh amah kho la cet.
14 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred sixty-six talents of gold,
Kum khat ah Solomon taengah aka pawk sui he a khiing sui talent ya rhuk sawmrhuk parhuk lo.
15 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.
Long yaam hlang rhoek taeng lamkah khaw, thimpom hlaikannah kah khaw, Arabia manghai rhoek boeih neh khohmuen rhalboei rhoek lamkah khaw om pueng.
16 King Solomon made two hundred bucklers of beaten gold; six hundred shekels of gold went to one buckler.
Manghai Solomon loh Sui photlinglen yahnih a saii tih photlinglen pakhat dongah sui ya rhuk cet la a boh.
17 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.
Sui photlingca te ya thum lo tih photlingca khat dongah sui mina pathum cet la a boh. Te rhoek te manghai loh Lebanon duup im ah a khueh.
18 Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with the finest gold.
Manghai loh vueino ngolkhoel len khaw a saii tih sui cilh neh a ben thil.
19 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.
Ngolkhoel dongla tangtlaeng parhuk om tih ngolkhoel kah a hnuk sampoeng tah pumrhuelh. Ngolnah hmuen kah khatben khatbang ah a kut om tih a kut kaep ah sathueng pumnit pai.
20 Twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other on the six steps. Nothing like it was made in any kingdom.
Tangtlaeng parhuk dongkah khatben khatbang ah aka pai sathueng te pum hlai nit lo. Ram tom ah te bang te a saii uh moenih.
21 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.
Manghai Solomon kah tui-ok hnopai boeih he sui tih Lebanon duup im kah hnopai boeih khaw sui cilh ni. Solomon tue vaengah tah cak he hno khat la a ngai pawt dongah nuen sak pawh.
22 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.
Manghai kah Tarshish sangpho khaw tuipuei kah Khiram sangpho neh kum thum ah vai a voei pah. Tarshish sangpho loh sui neh cak khaw, vueino neh kaipoeh khaw, varhing khaw a phueih pah.
23 So King Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth in riches and in wisdom.
Solomon manghai he diklai manghai boeih lakah khuehtawn dongah khaw, cueihnah dongah khaw khuet coeng.
24 All the earth sought the presence of Solomon to hear his wisdom which God had put in his heart.
Pathen loh a lungbuei ah a khueh pah a cueihnah te hnatun hamla diklai boeih loh Solomon kah maelhmai te a toem uh.
25 Year after year, every man brought his tribute, vessels of silver, vessels of gold, clothing, armor, spices, horses, and mules.
Amih loh a khocang la cak hnopai, sui hno, himbai, lungpok haica, botui, marhang neh muli-marhang khaw, a kum kum ah rhip a thak uh.
26 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.
Solomon loh leng neh marhang caem te a coi tih amah taengah leng thawng khat ya li neh marhang caem thawng hlai nit om. Te rhoek te leng khopuei rhoek neh Jerusalem kah manghai taengah a pael.
27 The king made silver as common as stones in Jerusalem, and cedars as common as the sycamore trees that are in the lowland.
Manghai loh cak te Jerusalem ah lungto bangla a khueh tih lamphai te kolrhawk kah aka ding thaihae bangla a hmoek.
28 The horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt. The king’s merchants received them in droves, each drove at a price.
Solomon taengah marhang kah pongthohnah dongah Egypt lamkah neh Kue lamkah khaw a loh. Manghai ham aka thimpom rhoek loh Kue lamkah te a phu la a loh uh.
29 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.
Egypt lamkah leng pakhat ah tangka ya rhuk la, marhang te ya sawmnga la a loh tih a khuen sak. Te tlam te Khitti manghai boeih taeng neh Aram manghai rhoek taengah khaw a kut dongah a khuen sakuh.
