2 Chronicles 9
1 When the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to test Solomon with hard questions at Jerusalem, with a very great caravan, including camels that bore spices, gold in abundance, and precious stones. When she had come to Solomon, she talked with him about all that was in her heart.
Siangpahrang nongpata Sheba mah Solomon singpahrang ahmin amthanghaih to thaih naah, karai parai lokduenghaih hoi anih to tanoek hanah, hmuihoih hmuennawk, kapop parai suinawk, atho kana thlungnawk phawhhaih kaengkuu hrangnawk hoi a hnukbang kaminawk hoiah nawnto angzoh o; Solomon khaeah angzoh o moe, palung thung kaom a poekhaih to thuih pae.
2 Solomon answered all her questions. There wasn’t anything hidden from Solomon which he didn’t tell her.
Anih mah dueng ih loknawk boih Solomon mah pathim pae; Solomon mah pathim thai ai ih karai parai hmuen tidoeh om ai.
3 When the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, the house that he had built,
Sheba siangpahrang nongpata mah Solomon palunghahaih hoiah sak ih siangpahrang im to hnuk moe,
4 the food of his table, the seating of his servants, the attendance of his ministers, their clothing, his cup bearers and their clothing, and his ascent by which he went up to the LORD’s house, there was no more spirit in her.
caboi nui ih caaknaek, anih ih tamnanawk khosakhaih dan, a toksah kaminawk khosakhaih hoi khuekbuennawk, boengloeng sin kaminawk hoi nihcae ih khukbuennawk, Angraeng ih im ah angbawnhaih sak hanah hmuen tathlanghaihnawk to a hnuk naah dawnrai.
5 She said to the king, “It was a true report that I heard in my own land of your acts and of your wisdom.
Siangpahrang khaeah, Ka prae hoi ka thaih ih na sakthaih ih hmuen hoi palung na hahaihnawk loe oh tangtang;
6 However I didn’t believe their words until I came, and my eyes had seen it; and behold half of the greatness of your wisdom wasn’t told me. You exceed the fame that I heard!
nihcae mah thuih ih loknawk to kaimah khaeh kang zoh moe, ka mik hoiah hnu ai karoek to ka tang ai; khenah, palung na hahaih ahap mataeng doeh kai khaeah na thui o ai vop; nang loe ka thaih ih ahmin amthanghaih pongah doeh amtlai kue.
7 Happy are your men, and happy are these your servants, who stand continually before you and hear your wisdom.
Anghak ai ah na hmaa ah angdoe, na palunghahaih lok tahngai, na tamnanawk hoi nang ih kaminawk loe tahamhoih o!
8 Blessed be the LORD your God, who delighted in you and set you on his throne to be king for the LORD your God, because your God loved Israel, to establish them forever. Therefore he made you king over them, to do justice and righteousness.”
Nangmah ih Angraeng Sithaw hanah siangpahrang ah oh moe, angmah ih angraeng tangkhang pongah anghnutsak hanah, na nuiah anghoehaih katawn, na Angraeng Sithaw loe tahamhoihaih om nasoe; na Sithaw loe Israel kaminawk to palung moe, toenghaih hoi katoeng ah lokcaek thai hanah, nihcae ukkung siangpahrang ah ang suek boeh, tiah a naa.
9 She gave the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold, spices in great abundance, and precious stones. There was never before such spice as the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.
Siangpahrang nongpata Sheba mah siangpahrang hanah sui talent cumvaito pacoeng, pumphaeto, kapop parai hmuihoih hmuennawk hoi atho kana thlungnawk to paek; siangpahrang nongpata Sheba mah Solomon siangpahrang han paek ih hmuihoih baktiah kahoih kalah hmuihoih om vai ai vop.
10 The servants of Huram and the servants of Solomon, who brought gold from Ophir, also brought algum trees and precious stones.
Ophir vangpui hoi sui kaphaw Huram ih tamnanawk hoi Solomon ih tamnanawk loe, algum thing hoi atho kana thlungnawk doeh phawh o.
11 The king used algum tree wood to make terraces for the LORD’s house and for the king’s house, and harps and stringed instruments for the singers. There were none like these seen before in the land of Judah.
Siangpahrang mah algum thing hoiah Angraeng im ih thlak, siangpahrang im ih thlak, laasah kaminawk hanah katoeng hoi palaeng ah aput moe, aah ih katoengnawk doeh sak; canghniah to baktih hmuen Judah prae ah om vai ai vop.
12 King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she asked, more than that which she had brought to the king. So she turned and went to her own land, she and her servants.
Siangpahrang nongpata Sheba mah paek ih tangqum pong kamtlai ah, Solomon siangpahrang mah siangpahrang nongpata Sheba mah koeh ih hmuen hoi hnik ih hmuennawk boih to paek. To pacoeng ah siangpahrang nongpata hoi anih ih tamnawnawk loe angmah prae ah nawnto amlaem o.
13 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold,
Saning kruek Solomon khaeah akun sui loe kazit talent cumvai taruk, quitaruk, tarukto oh.
14 in addition to that which the traders and merchants brought. All the kings of Arabia and the governors of the country brought gold and silver to Solomon.
To khue ai hmuenmae zaw kaminawk, hmuenmae athlaeng kaminawk, Arab prae ih siangpahrangnawk hoi prae ukkung angraengnawk mah doeh sui hoi sumkanglungnawk to Solomon hanah sinh pae o bae vop.
15 King Solomon made two hundred large shields of beaten gold. Six hundred shekels of beaten gold went to one large shield.
Solomon siangpahrang mah caki hoi daengh ih sui hoiah aphaw cumvai hnetto sak, aphaw maeto naah sui shekel cumvai tarukto akunh.
16 He made three hundred shields of beaten gold. Three hundred shekels of gold went to one shield. The king put them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon.
Aphaw cumvai thumto loe sui hoiah sak, aphaw maeto naah sui shekel cumvai thumto akunh; siangpahrang mah to hmuennawk to Lebanon tu thung ih thing hoiah sak ih siangpahrang im ah suek.
17 Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold.
To pacoengah siangpahrang mah tasaino hoi angraeng tangkhang to sak moe, kaciim suitui hoiah pazut.
18 There were six steps to the throne, with a footstool of gold, which were fastened to the throne, and armrests on either side by the place of the seat, and two lions standing beside the armrests.
Angraeng tangkhang dawhhaih thlak sarihto oh moe, angraeng tangkhang ah paeh ih sui hoi sak ih khok koenghaih doeh oh; anghnuthaih hae bang hoi ho bangah ban koenghaih oh moe, a taengah angdoe kaipui hnetto oh.
19 Twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other on the six steps. There was nothing like it made in any other kingdom.
Hae bang hoi ho bang ih thlak tarukto pongah kaipui hatlai hnetto oh. To baktih angraeng tangkhang loe kalah siangpahrang ukhaih prae ah sah o vai ai vop.
20 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. Silver was not considered valuable in the days of Solomon.
Solomon siangpahrang ih laom sabaenawk boih loe sui hoiah sak, Lebanon tu thung ih thing hoiah sak ih siangpahrang im ah patoh ih laom sabaenawk boih doeh sui hoiah ni sak; Solomon dung ah sumkanglung loe atho om ai pongah, kawbaktih hmuen doeh sumkanglung hoiah sah o ai.
21 For the king had ships that went to Tarshish with Huram’s servants. Once every three years, the ships of Tarshish came bringing gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks.
Siangpahrang ih palongpuinawk loe Huram ih tamnanawk hoi nawnto Tashi vangpui bangah caeh o; Tarshi palongpuinawk loe saning thumto naah vaito amlaem o; palongpui hoiah sui, sumkanglung, tasai no, kalaih taqawknawk hoi tawtaaw tavaanawk to phawh o.
22 So King Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.
Solomon loe long nuiah kaom siangpahrangnawk boih pongah angraeng moe, palungha kue.
23 All the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
Sithaw mah Solomon palung thungah suek pae ih palunghahaih lok to tahngaih hanah, long nui ah kaom siangpahrangnawk boih, a hmaa ah angzoh o.
24 They each brought tribute: vessels of silver, vessels of gold, clothing, armour, spices, horses, and mules every year.
Anih khaeah angzo kami boih mah, tangqum ah sui, sumkanglung hoi sak ih laom sabaenawk, khukbuennawk, misatukhaih hmuenmaenawk, hmuihoih hmuennawk, hrangnawk hoi mule hrangnawk to saning kruek paek o.
25 Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen that he stationed in the chariot cities and with the king at Jerusalem.
Solomon mah hrang hoi hrangleeng suekhaih ahmuen sang palito tawnh, vangpui hoi a ohhaih Jerusalem vangpui ah suek ih hrang lakok hoi hrang angthueng kami sang hatlaihnetto doeh a tawnh.
26 He ruled over all the kings from the River even to the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt.
Anih mah vapui hoiah amtong moe, Philistin prae hoi Izip prae ramri khoek to siangpahrangnawk to uk.
27 The king made silver as common in Jerusalem as stones, and he made cedars to be as abundant as the sycamore trees that are in the lowland.
Siangpahrang mah uk nathuem ah, sumkanglung loe Jerusalem ah thlung baktiah ni oh, Sidar thing doeh azawn ah kamprawk thaiba thing baktiah pop.
28 They brought horses for Solomon out of Egypt and out of all lands.
Izip prae hoi kalah prae thung boih ih hrangnawk to Solomon khaeah hoih pae o.
29 Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last, aren’t they written in the history 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?
Solomon hing thung sak ih hmuennawk loe, amtonghaih hoi boeng khoek to, tahmaa Nathan ih cabu, Shilo acaeng Ahijah ih cabu, Nebat capa Jeroboam kawng tarik tahmaa Iddo ih cabu thungah tarik o na ai maw?
30 Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years.
Solomon mah Jerusalem hoi Israel kaminawk to saning quipalito thung uk.
31 Solomon slept with his fathers, and he was buried in his father David’s city; and Rehoboam his son reigned in his place.
To pacoengah ampanawk khaeah anghak moe, ampa David vangpui ah aphum o; anih zuengah a capa Rehoboam mah prae to uk.
