< Otra Laiku 9 >

1 Un kad Sabas ķēniņiene dzirdēja Salamana slavu, tad tā nāca, pārbaudīt Salamanu ar mīklām, uz Jeruzālemi ar varen lielu pulku, ir ar kamieļiem, kas nesa kvēpināmās zāles un daudz zelta un dārgus akmeņus. Un viņa nāca pie Salamana un runāja ar to visu, ko bija apņēmusies savā sirdī.
The queen who ruled [the] Sheba [area in Arabia] heard that Solomon had become famous, so she traveled to Jerusalem to ask him questions that were difficult [to answer]. She came with a large group of servants, and she brought camels that were loaded with spices, and valuable gems, and a lot of gold. When she met Solomon, she asked him questions about all the things/topics in which she was interested.
2 Un Salamans viņai atbildēja uz visiem viņas vārdiem, un nekas Salamanam nebija paslēpts, ko viņš tai nebūtu teicis.
Solomon answered all her questions. He explained everything that she asked about, even things that were very difficult.
3 Kad nu Sabas ķēniņiene redzēja Salamana gudrību un to namu, ko viņš bija uzcēlis,
The queen realized that Solomon was very wise. She saw his palace,
4 Un viņa galda ēdienus un viņa kalpu dzīvokļus un viņa sulaiņu amatu un viņu drēbes un viņa dzēriena devējus un viņu drēbes un viņa uzejamo vietu, kur viņš gāja Tā Kunga namā, tad viņa tikko nepalika bez dvašas
she saw the food that was served on his table [every day]; she saw how his officials were seated at the table, their uniforms, the servants who served the food and wine, and the sacrifices that he took to the temple to be completely burned on the altar. She was extremely amazed.
5 Un sacīja uz ķēniņu: tas ir tiesa, ko es savā zemē esmu dzirdējusi no tavām lietām un no tavas gudrības.
She said to the king, “Everything that I heard in my own country about you and about how wise you are is true!
6 Bet es viņu vārdiem neticēju, kamēr es pati nācu un manas acis redzēja; un redzi, man nav ne puse teikta no visas tavas lielās gudrības; tev ir vairāk, nekā tā slava, ko es dzirdēju.
But I did not believe it was true until I came here and saw it myself. You are [extremely wise and rich, ] more than what people told me.
7 Svētīgi tavi ļaudis un svētīgi šie tavi kalpi, kas vienmēr stāv tavā priekšā un dzird tavu gudrību.
The men who work for you are very fortunate! Your officials who are constantly standing in front of you and listening to the wise things that you say are also fortunate!
8 Slavēts lai ir Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, kam labs prāts bijis pie tevis, sēdināt tevi uz savu goda krēslu par ķēniņu Tam Kungam, tavam Dievam. Tāpēc ka tavs Dievs Israēli mīļo, gribēdams to uzturēt mūžīgi, viņš tevi iecēlis pār tiem, darīt tiesu un taisnību.
Praise Yahweh your God, who has shown that he is pleased with you by appointing you to be the king of Israel for him. God has always loved the Israeli people, and desires to assist them forever, and therefore he has appointed you to be their king, in order that you will rule them fairly and righteously.”
9 Un viņa deva ķēniņam simts un divdesmit talentus zelta un kvēpināmās zāles un dārgus akmeņus lielā pulkā, un tādu zāļu nav bijis kā šīs, ko Sabas ķēniņiene deva ķēniņam Salamanam.
Then the queen gave to Solomon about 4-1/2 tons of gold and a large amount of spices and gems. Never had King Solomon received more spices than the queen gave him at that time.
10 Tāpat arī Hirama kalpi un Salamana kalpi, kas zeltu nesa no Ofira, atnesa arī algumim kokus un dārgus akmeņus.
King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba everything that she wanted. He gave her more than she had given to him. Then she and those who came with her returned to her own land. [In the ships that belonged to King Hiram, ] Hiram’s workers and Solomon’s workers brought gold from Ophir. They also brought a large amount of juniper wood and gems. King Solomon [told his workers] to use that wood to make railings in the temple and in his palace and also to make harps and lyres for the musicians. That wood was the the finest wood that had ever been seen in Israel.
11 Un ķēniņš no tiem algumim kokiem taisīja trepes Tā Kunga namā un ķēniņa namā, ir kokles un somastabules koklētājiem. Tādi (koki) citkārt nebija redzēti Jūdu zemē.
12 Un ķēniņš Salamans deva Sabas ķēniņienei visu, ko tā gribēja un lūdza, bez tā, ko tā ķēniņam bija atnesusi, Un tā griezās atpakaļ un gāja ar saviem kalpiem uz savu zemi.
13 Un tas zelta svars, kas Salamanam ikgadus ienāca, bija sešsimt sešdesmit seši talenti zelta,
Each year there was brought to Solomon a total of 25 tons of gold.
14 Bez tā, ko viņš dabūja no tirgotājiem un veikalniekiem; ir visi Arābijas ķēniņi un zemes lielkungi nesa Salamanam zeltu un sudrabu.
That was in addition to the [taxes] paid to him by the merchants and traders. Also, the kings of Arabia and the governors of [the districts in] Israel brought gold and silver to Solomon.
15 Un ķēniņš Salamans taisīja divsimt priekšturamās bruņas no kalta zelta, - sešsimt zelta gabalus viņš deva priekš ikvienām priekšturamām bruņām, -
King Solomon’s [workers took this] gold [and] hammered [it] into thin sheets and covered 200 large shields with those thin sheets of gold; they put almost 7-1/2 pounds of gold on each shield.
16 Un trīssimt sedzamas bruņas no kalta zelta, - tur viņš deva trīs simt gabalus zelta priekš ikvienām bruņām.
His [workers] made 300 [smaller] shields. They covered each of them with almost 4 pounds of gold. Then the king put those shields in the Hall of the Forest of Lebanon.
17 Un ķēniņš tās ielika Lībanus koku namā. Un ķēniņš taisīja lielu krēslu no ziloņkauliem un to pārvilka ar tīru zeltu.
His [workers] also made for him a large throne. [Part of] it was covered with [decorations made from] ivory and [part of it was covered] with very fine gold.
18 Šim krēslam bija seši pakāpieni un viens kāju pamesls no zelta, kas pie tā krēsla bija piestiprināts, un abējās pusēs tam bija lēnes pie sēdekļa, un divas lauvas stāvēja pie tām lēnēm,
There were six steps in front of the throne. There was a gold footstool that was attached to the throne. At each side of the throne there was an armrest, and alongside each armrest there was a [small statue of a] lion.
19 Un divpadsmit lauvas stāvēja tur uz tiem sešiem pakāpieniem abējās pusēs. Tāds nekādā valstībā nav taisīts.
On the six steps there were twelve statues of lions, one on each side. No throne like that had ever existed in any other kingdom.
20 Un visi ķēniņa Salamana dzeramie trauki bija no zelta un visi trauki Lībanus koku namā bija no tīra zelta, - sudrabu Salamana laikā neko necienīja.
All of Solomon’s cups were made of gold, and all the various dishes in the Hall of the Forest of Lebanon were made of gold. [They did not make things from silver], because during the years that Solomon [ruled], silver was not considered to be valuable.
21 Jo ķēniņa kuģi gāja uz Taršišu ar Hirama kalpiem; tie Taršiša kuģi pa trim gadiem vienreiz pārnāca un pārveda zeltu un sudrabu un ziloņkaulus un pērtiķus un pāvus.
The king had a fleet of ships that sailed with the ships that King Hiram owned. Every three years the ships returned [from the places to which they had sailed], bringing gold, silver, ivory, monkeys, and baboons (OR, peacocks).
22 Tā ķēniņš Salamans tapa lielāks, nekā visi ķēniņi virs zemes, bagātībā un gudrībā.
King Solomon became richer and wiser than any other king on the earth.
23 Un visi ķēniņi virs zemes meklēja Salamana vaigu, viņa gudrību dzirdēt, ko Dievs tam bija devis sirdī.
Kings from all over the world wanted to come and listen to the wise things that Solomon said, things that God had enabled him to know.
24 Un tie atnesa ikkatrs savas dāvanas, sudraba un zelta traukus un drēbes un bruņas un dārgas zāles, zirgus un zirgēzeļus ik gadus.
All the people who came to him brought presents: They brought things made from silver or gold, or robes, or weapons, or spices, or horses, or mules. The people continued to do this every year.
25 Un Salamanam bija četrtūkstoš zirgu stelinģu un divpadsmit tūkstoš jātnieki, un viņš tos lika ratu pilsētās un pie ķēniņa Jeruzālemē.
Solomon had 4,000 stalls for his horses and chariots, and 12,000 horses. Solomon put some of them in Jerusalem and some of them in other cities where he kept his chariots.
26 Un viņš valdīja pār visiem ķēniņiem no lielupes līdz Fīlistu zemei un līdz Ēģiptes robežām.
Solomon ruled over all the kings in the area from the [Euphrates] River [in the northeast] to the Philistia area [in the west] to the border of Egypt [in the south].
27 Un ķēniņš darīja, ka tik daudz sudraba bija Jeruzālemē kā akmeņu, un ciedru koku tik daudz, kā meža vīģes koku ielejās.
[During the years that Solomon was] king, [he] caused silver to become as common in Jerusalem as stones; and he caused cedar trees in the foothills of Judah to become as plentiful as fig trees.
28 Un Salamanam atveda zirgus no Ēģiptes un no citām zemēm.
Solomon’s agents brought horses from [the] Musri [area] and other places.
29 Un kas vēl atliek par Salamana lietām, gan pirmās, gan pēdējās, tas viss rakstīts pravieša Nātana laiku grāmatā un Ahijas, tā Šilonieša, pravieša vārdos un Jedus, tā redzētāja, parādīšanās pret Jerobeamu, Nebata dēlu.
Lists of all the other things that Solomon did are recorded in the scrolls written by the prophet Nathan and by the prophet Ahijah from Shiloh [city], and in [the scroll in which were written] the visions that the prophet Iddo saw concerning [King] Jeroboam.
30 Un Salamans valdīja Jeruzālemē pār visu Israēli četrdesmit gadus.
Solomon ruled from Jerusalem all of Israel for 40 years.
31 Un Salamans aizmiga pie saviem tēviem, un to apraka viņa tēva Dāvida pilī, un viņa dēls Rekabeams palika par ķēniņu viņa vietā.
Then Solomon died and was buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. And his son Rehoboam became the king.
