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.
And the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, and came to Jerusalem to prove Solomon with enigmas; with a very great train, and camels that bore spices and gold in great abundance, and precious stones; and she came to Solomon, and spoke with him of all that was in her heart.
2 И возвести ей Соломон вся словеса ея, и не прейде слово, егоже бы не возвестил ей.
And Solomon explained to her all she spoke of, and there was not a thing hidden from Solomon that he did not explain to her.
3 И виде царица Савска премудрость Соломоню, и дом егоже созда,
And when the queen of Sheba saw the wisdom of Solomon, and 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.
and the food of his table, and the deportment of his servants, and the order of service of his attendants and their apparel, and his cupbearers and their apparel, and his ascent by which he went up to the house of Jehovah, 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:
And she said to the king, It was a true report that I heard in mine own land of thine affairs and of thy 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:
but I gave no credit to their words, until I came and mine eyes had seen; and behold, the half of the greatness of thy wisdom was not told me: thou exceedest the report 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 thy men, and happy are these thy servants, who stand continually before thee and hear thy 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 Jehovah thy God, who delighted in thee, to set thee on his throne, to be king to Jehovah thy God! Because thy God loved Israel, to establish them for ever, therefore did he make thee king over them, to do judgment and justice.
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.
And she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices in very great abundance, and precious stones; neither was there any such spice as that which the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.
10 Но и раби Хирамовы с рабы Соломоними приношаху злато Соломону драгое.
(And the servants also of Huram, and the servants of Solomon, who brought gold from Ophir, brought sandal-wood 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.
And the king made of the sandal-wood stairs for the house of Jehovah, and for the king's house, and harps and lutes for the singers. And there were none such 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.
And king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she asked, besides what she had brought to the king. And 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,
And 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.
besides [what] dealers and merchants brought, and [what] all the kings of Arabia and the governors of the country brought of gold and silver to Solomon.
15 Сотвори убо царь Соломон двести щитов златых тягненых, шесть сот златник чистых бяху во единем щите:
And king Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold, — he applied six hundred [shekels] of beaten gold to one target;
16 и триста щитов златых тягненых, по триста златник бяше во единем коемждо щите, и положи я царь в дому древа Ливанова.
and three hundred shields of beaten gold, — he applied three hundred [shekels] of gold to one shield; and 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,
And 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,
and the throne had six steps, with a footstool of gold fastened to the throne; and there were arms on each side at the place of the seat, and two lions stood beside the arms;
19 и дванадесять львов стоящих тамо на шести степенех от обоих стран: и не бысть таков престол во всяцем царстве.
and twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other upon the six steps: there was not the like made in any 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:
And all king Solomon's drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of precious gold: silver was not of the least account 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's ships went to Tarshish with the servants of Huram: once in three years came the ships of Tarshish, bringing gold and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
22 И возвеличися Соломон паче всех царей земных богатством и мудростию.
And king Solomon was greater than 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:
And 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.
And they brought every man his present, vessels of silver and vessels of gold, and clothing, armour, and spices, horses and mules, a rate year by 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.
And Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen; and he placed them 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.
And he ruled over all the kings from the river as far as the land of the Philistines, and up 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.
And the king made silver in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he as the sycamores that are in the lowland for abundance.
28 И приводяху кони Соломону от Египта и от всея земли.
And they brought to Solomon horses 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.
And the rest of the acts of Solomon first and last, are they not written in the words 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.
And 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.
And Solomon slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David his father; and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead.
