1 Kings 10
1 When the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the LORD’s name, she came to test him with hard questions.
Sheba siangpahrang nongpata loe Solomon ahmin amthanghaih hoi Angraeng kawng to thaih naah, karai parai lokduenghaih hoiah anih to tanoek hanah angzoh.
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.
Paroeai pop tahnongsawk hrang hoi Jerusalem ah a phak naah, hmuihoih hmuennawk, paroeai pop sui hoi atho kaom thlungnawk to phawhsak moe, Solomon khaeah a caeh; angmah ih palung thungah kaom a poekhaihnawk to Solomon khaeah thuih pae boih.
3 Solomon answered all her questions. There wasn’t anything hidden from the king which he didn’t tell her.
Anih mah dueng ih loknawk to Solomon mah pathim pae boih; a lokduenghaih thungah siangpahrang mah pathim thai ih lok maeto doeh om ai.
4 When the queen of Sheba had seen all the wisdom of Solomon, the house that he had built,
Sheba siangpahrang nongpata mah Solomon palunghahaih hoiah sak ih siangpahrang imnawk,
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 the LORD’s house, there was no more spirit in her.
anih caboi nui ih caaknaeknawk, a tamnanawk anghnuthaih ahmuennawk, a tok sahkung tamnanawk ih khukbuennawk, anih ih boengloeng sin kami hoi Angraeng imthungah hmai hoi sak ih angbawnhaihnawk to a hnuk naah, dawnraihaih hoiah oh sut.
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.
Anih mah siangpahrang khaeah, Ka prae hoi ka thaih ih na sak ih hmuennawk hoi palung na hahaihnawk loe, tangtang ni, tiah a naa.
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.
Toe hae hmuen hae kaimah roe kang zoh moe, ka mik hoiah hnu ai karoek to, ka tang ai; khenah, hae ih hmuen kawngnawk ahap mataeng doeh kai khaeah na thui o ai vop; ka thaih ih hmuen pongah palung na hahaih hoi na tawnh ih hmuenmaenawk hae pop kue.
8 Happy are your men, happy are these your servants who stand continually before you, who hear your wisdom.
Ni thokkruek na hmaa ah kaom, palunghahaih lok tahngai nangmah ih kaminawk, na tamnanawk loe paroeai tahamhoih o.
9 Blessed is the LORD your God, who delighted in you, to set you on the throne of Israel. Because the LORD loved Israel forever, therefore he made you king, to do justice and righteousness.”
Nang to palung moe, Israel kaminawk nuiah siangpahrang ah suemkung, Angraeng na Sithaw loe tahamhoihaih om nasoe; Angraeng mah Israel hae dungzan khoek to palung pongah, toenghaih hoiah kamsoem ah toksak hanah, nang hae siangpahrang ah ang suek boeh, tiah a naa.
10 She gave the king one hundred and 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.
Anih mah siangpahrang hanah sui talent cumvaito pacoeng, pumphaeto, hmuihoih paroeai hoi atho kana thlungnawk to paek; Sheba siangpahrang nongpata mah Solomon hanah sin pae ih hmuihoih zetto mi mah doeh sin pae vai ai vop.
11 The fleet of Hiram that brought gold from Ophir also brought in from Ophir great quantities of almug trees and precious stones.
Hiram ih palongpui mah doeh Ophir hoiah suinawk to sin pae o; to ahmuen hoiah almak thing hoi atho kana thlungnawk doeh sin o.
12 The king made of the almug trees pillars for the LORD’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.
Siangpahrang mah almak thing hoiah Angraeng ih im homhnawk, siangpahrang im, laasah kaminawk hanah katoeng tamoinawk to sak.
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.
Solomon siangpahrang loe Sheba siangpahrang nongpata mah hnik ih hmuennawk to paek boih; siangpahrang mah tawnh ih hmuennawk to paek pacoengah, a hnik ih kalah hmuennawk doeh paek boih bae vop. To pacoengah ni angmah hoi angmah ih ampuinawk hoi nawnto angmah prae ah amlaem vop.
14 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold,
Saningto thung Solomon khaeah kapha sui loe talent cumvai taruk, quitaruk, tarukto oh.
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.
To pacoengah hmuenmae zaw kaminawk, hmuenmae athlaenghaih sah kaminawk, Arabia prae siangpahrangnawk hoi prae ukkungnawk mah paek ih sui doeh oh vop.
16 King Solomon made two hundred bucklers of beaten gold; six hundred shekels of gold went to one buckler.
Solomon siangpahrang loe sui coi tarukto hoiah misa angvaenghaih aphaw cumvai hnetto a sak, aphaw maeto naah shekel cumvai tarukto akunh.
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 hoi sak ih kathoeng kue aphaw doeh cumvai thumto oh vop; aphaw maeto naah sui boengloeng thumto akunh; to aphawnawk loe siangpahrang mah Lebanon tu thung ih thing hoiah sak ih siangpahrang im ah a suek.
18 Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with the finest gold.
Siangpahrang mah angmah ih kalen pui angraeng tangkhang to tasaino hoiah sak moe, sui hoiah pazut boih.
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.
Angraeng tangkhang ah dawhhaih thlak tarukto oh, ranui koek ih angraeng tangkhang a hnukbangah loe angbuet luet; angraeng tangkhang hae bang hoi ho bangah ban koenghaih oh hmaek; ban koenghaih taengah kaipui hnetto angdoet.
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.
Thlak tarukto ranui ataeng boih ah kaipui hatlaihnetto angdoet o; naa ih prae ah doeh to tiah sah o vai ai vop.
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.
Solomon siangpahrang ih boengloengnawk loe sui hoiah ni sak boih; Lebanon tu thung ih thing hoiah sak ih siangpahrang imthungah patoh ih laom sabaenawk loe sui hoiah ni sak boih; Solomon adung ah sumkanglung hoi sak ih hmuennawk loe atho kaom ah poek o ai pongah, sumkanglung hoiah sak ih hmuen tidoeh om ai.
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.
Siangpahrang loe Tarshish ih palongpuinawk to Hiram ih palongpuinawk hoi nawnto tuipui ah a suek; to Tasrshish palongpui loe saning thumto naah vaito amlaem moe, sui, sumkanglung, tasaino, kalaih hoi tawta-aw tavaanawk to a phawh.
23 So King Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth in riches and in wisdom.
Solomon siangpahrang loe angraenghaih hoi palunghahaih bangah longnui ih siangpahrangnawk boih pongah sang kue.
24 All the earth sought the presence of Solomon to hear his wisdom which God had put in his heart.
Sithaw mah anih ih palung thung suek pae ih, palunghahaih lok tahngai hanah long nui ih kaminawk boih, Solomon khaeah angzoh o.
25 Year after year, every man brought his tribute, vessels of silver, vessels of gold, clothing, armour, spices, horses, and mules.
Saning kruek anih khaeah angzo kaminawk boih mah tangqum, sui hoi sak ih laom sabae, sumkanglung hoi sak ih laom sabaenawk, khukbuennawk, maiphaw maicanawk, hmuihoihnawk, hrang hoi mule hrangnawk to sin pae o.
26 Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen. He had one thousand and four hundred chariots and twelve thousand horsemen. He kept them in the chariot cities and with the king at Jerusalem.
Solomon siangpahrang mah hrang hoi hrang lakoknawk to nawnto pakhuengh; hrang lakok sang cumvai pali, hrang hoi misatuh kami sang hatlaihnetto a tawnh; to hmuennawk to hrang lakok suekhaih vangpui ah a suek moe, Jerusalem ah doeh angmah khaeah a suek.
27 The king made silver as common as stones in Jerusalem, and cedars as common as the sycamore trees that are in the lowland.
Siangpahrang mah sumkanglungnawk to thlung rumram baktiah Jerusalem vangpui ah suek moe, tahawt thungah kaom thaibaa thing baktiah cidar thingdoeh a tawnh mangh.
28 The horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt. The king’s merchants received them in droves, each drove at a price.
Izip prae Kue vangpui hoiah Solomon siangpahrang khaeah hrangnawk to zawh pae o; siangpahrang ih hmuenmae zaw kaminawk loe Kue vangpui ih hrangnawk to phoisa hoiah qanh o.
29 A chariot was imported from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for one hundred and fifty shekels; and so they exported them to all the kings of the Hittites and to the kings of Syria.
Hrang lakok maeto naah Izip prae ah phoisa shekel cumvai tarukto a paek moe, hrang maeto naah phoisa shekel cumvai quipangato hoiah qanh o; to hmuennawk to Hit kaminawk hoi Syria kaminawk khaeah doeh a zawh o.
