2 Thusimbu 9
1 Sheba lengnun Solomon minthan naho thu ajahdoh phat chun, apatep mong mong dingin thudoh hahsa tampi dong dingin Jerusalem a ahungtan ahi. Amanu chu akilhonpi tamtah toh gimnamtui, sana le songmantam tampi sangong sao ahinpoh sah in, thupitah in Solomon kom ahunglhung tan ahi.
And when the queen of Saba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to try him with hard questions at Jerusalem, with great riches, and camels, which carried spices, and abundance of gold, and precious stones. And when she was come to Solomon, she proposed to him all that was in her heart.
2 Solomon chun amanu thudoh jouse abonchan adonbut in, chule bailam tah in ahilchenin ahi.
And Solomon explained to her all that she proposed: and there was not any thing that he did not make clear unto her.
3 Sheba lengnun Solomon chihna ho, chule a leng inpi sah,
And when she had seen these things, to wit, the wisdom of Solomon, and the house which he had built,
4 Adokhang chunga an le twi ho, amilen milal ho touna, ajen lea pang ho kivonna, akhon doma pangho kivonna le Pakai Houin a pumgo thilto abolho amudoh chun kidang asavallin athia abang jengin ahi.
And the meats of his table, and the dwelling places of his servants, and the attendance of his officers, and their apparel, his cupbearers also, and their garments, and the victims which he offered in the house of the Lord: there was no more spirit in her, she was so astonished.
5 Chuin Sheba lengnun lengpa komma aseiyin, “Keima gamsunga kana jah na chih na le na natoh thilbol hohi atah mong ahi.
And she said to the king: The word is true which I heard in my country of thy virtues and wisdom.
6 Ahinlah kamit tah’a kana musanga chun miho thusei chu atah hidingin kana gelpon ahi. Tahbeh a seidingin nathupi naho hi akehkhat bepbou eina kiseipeh ahibouve, hiche ei kiseipeh kajah ho sangin gam chengin nakho khellin ahi,” ati.
I did not believe them that told it, until I came, and my eyes had seen, and I had proved that scarce one half of thy wisdom had been told me: thou hast exceeded the same with thy virtues.
7 Namite iti pan akipah ta diuvem! Namilen-milalte ho, na angsunga adin jinguva nachih na thu ajah jengu hi iti pan akipah tadiu vem! Na Pakai, Pathen chu vahchoiyin umtahen, Amachu nachunga lunglhai tangei unte chule,
Happy are thy men, and happy are thy servants, who stand always before thee, and hear thy wisdom.
8 Pakai na Pathen in vaihom dinga laltouna natousah’a Lenga napansah ahitai. Ijeh-inem itileh na Pathen chun amite Israelte alungsetna atonsotna adop sang nom jeh chule thutahle thudih’a ama ho chunga vai nahop theina dinga Lenga napansah ahitai.
Blessed be the Lord thy God, who hath been pleased to set thee on his throne, king of the Lord thy God. Because God loveth Israel, and will preserve them for ever: therefore hath he made thee king over them, to do judgment and justice.
9 Chuin Sheba Lengnu chun Solomon Lengpa chu sana talent jakhat le somni chule gimnamtui le songmantam tamtah apen ahi. Amanun Solomon Lengpa apeh tobang gimnamtui chu tumasangin ana um kha hih laijin ahi.
And she gave to the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices in great abundance, and most precious stones: there were no such spices as these which the queen of Saba gave to king Solomon.
10 Hiram Lengpa soh hole Solomon Lengpa soh ho chun Ophir akonin Sana ahinpouvin, chule algumthing le Songmantam jong ahinpouve.
And the servants also of Hiram, with the servants of Solomon, brought gold from Ophir, and thyine trees, and most precious stones:
11 Lengpa chun Algum thingho chu Pakai Houin le Leng inpi kalbi ho semnan amangin chule lasathem ho dingin selangdah le pehkhong semnan amangin ahi. Hiti ho tobang hi tumasangin Judah gamsunga ana kimukha hih laijin ahi.
And the king made of the thyine trees stairs in the house of the Lord, and in the king’s house, and harps and psalteries for the singing men: never were there seen such trees in the land of Juda.
12 Solomon Lengpa chun Sheba Lengnu angaichat le athum jouse chu apen, aman ahinpoh sanga tamjo chu ale peh kitnin ahi. Chuin amilal ho tochun agamlanguva akinungle kit tauvin ahi.
And king Solomon gave to the queen of Saba all that she desired, and that she asked, and many more things than she brought to him: so she returned, and went to her own country with her servants.
13 Kumseh’a Solomon in sana amujat chu talent jaguple somgup le gup aphan,
And the weight of the gold, that was brought to Solomon every year, was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold:
14 Hiche lah’a hi thilcho-thil joh hole kivei mihon anpeh-u pangloulai ahi. Chujongleh Arabia gam'a Lengho le gamvaipo honjong Solomon chu sana le dangka ahin pohpeh un ahi.
Beside the sum which the deputies of divers nations, and the merchants were accustomed to bring, and all the kings of Arabia, and the lords of the lands, who I brought gold and silver to Solomon.
15 Solomon Lengpa chun sana’a kikheng kidalna pho asemin, kidalna pho khat chun sana shekel som gup alutnin ahi.
And king Solomon made two hundred golden spears, of the sum of six hundred pieces of gold, which went to every spear:
16 Aman sana’a kikheng kidalna pho aneo jathum jong asemin, kidalna pho khatna chun sana shekhel jathum cheh alut nin ahi. hiche ho sese chu lengpan Lebanon’a gammang inpia chun akoitai.
And three hundred golden shields of three hundred pieces of gold, which went to the covering of every shield: and the king put them in the armoury, which was compassed with a wood.
17 Chuin Lengpan Saiha’a laltouna khat asemin sana thengsellin atomjollin ahi.
The king also made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold.
18 Laltouna chun kalbi gup aneijin chule sana touna keng ngapna toh akibuto in ahi. Touna teni jetle veiya chun Sakei bahkai lim ni adingin ahi.
And six steps to go up to the throne, and a footstool of gold, and two arms one on either side, and two lions standing by the arms:
19 Kalbi mong teni achung chu Sakei bahkai lim Som le ni aumin, kalbi dan gup ma aning cheh a chun sakei bahkai lim khat cheh akikoijin ahi,
Moreover twelve other little lions standing upon the steps on both sides: there was not such a throne in any kingdom.
20 Solomon twi don'a khon ho jouse chu sana lhanga kisem ahin chule Lebanon’a gammang sana thengsella kisem ngen ahi. Thilho jouse chu dangka kisem khatcha aumpoi, ijen-inem itileh Solomon khang lai chun dangka chu manlhom jepdanin anaki hen ahi.
And all the vessels of the king’s table were of gold, and the vessels of the house of the forest of Libanus were of the purest gold. For no account was made of silver in those days.
21 Lengpa chun kiveina kong innei tampi jong aneiyin ahi, kumthum lhunseh leh kong innei ho chun khatvei sana dangka le saiha chule guldute le vahong ho ahin pojiuvin ahi.
For the king’s ships went to Tharsis with the servants of Hiram, once in three years: and they brought thence gold and silver, and ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
22 Lengpa Solomon chu leng dang ho jouse sangin haona le chih nan achungnung jon ahi.
And Solomon was magnified above all the kings of the earth for riches and glory.
23 Nam jousea Leng ho chu Pathen in apeh achihna ho thu ngainom leh, houlim pi dingin ahung jiuvin ahi.
And all the kings of the earth desired to see the face of Solomon, that they might hear the wisdom which God had given in his heart.
24 Akum kumin ama hungvil jouse chun sana le dangka sangkholchol, gimnamtui galmanchah sakol le sangan ho kipa thilpeh adin ahinpoh peh jiuvin ahi.
And every year they brought him presents, vessels of silver and of gold, and garments, and armour, and spices, and horses, and mules.
25 Solomon chun sakolbuh le sakol kangtalai koina indan sangli aneijin chule sakol jong sang som le ni aneijin ahi. Hiche ho chu sakol kangtalai koina khopiho le Jersusalema ama kom naiyah akoi in ahi.
And Solomon had forty thousand horses in the stables, and twelve thousand chariots, and horsemen, and he placed them in the cities of the chariots, and where the king was in Jerusalem.

And he made silver as plentiful in Jerusalem as stones: and cedars as common as the sycamores, which grow in the plains.
28 Solomon sakol ho chu Egypt gam le gam chom chomma konna hung kipolut ahiuve.
And horses were brought to him out of Egypt, and out of all countries.
29 Solomon vaipoh abulla kipan achaina changei’a thilsoh adangho chu, themgao Nathan Lekhabu chule Sheloh a um, Ahijah gaothuseina chule Nebat chapa Jerobaom chung changa muneipa Iddo Mitva neipa gaomu thusimma akijih lut soh keijin ahi.
Now the rest of the acts of Solomon first and last are written in the words of Nathan the prophet, and in the boobs of Ahias the Silonite, and in the vision of Addo the seer, against Jeroboam the son of Nabat.
