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 of Sheba heard how famous Solomon was, so she came to Jerusalem to test him with tough questions. She brought with her a very large entourage, with camels loaded with spices, large amounts of gold, and precious gemstones. She came to Solomon and asked him about everything she had on her mind.
2 Un Salamans viņai atbildēja uz visiem viņas vārdiem, un nekas Salamanam nebija paslēpts, ko viņš tai nebūtu teicis.
Solomon answered all her questions. There was nothing he couldn't explain to her.
3 Kad nu Sabas ķēniņiene redzēja Salamana gudrību un to namu, ko viņš bija uzcēlis,
When the queen of Sheba saw Solomon's wisdom, and the palace he had built,
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
the food on the table, how his officials lived, how his servants operated and how they were dressed, the clothes of the waiters, and the burnt offerings he presented at the Lord's Temple, she was so astonished she could hardly breathe.
5 Un sacīja uz ķēniņu: tas ir tiesa, ko es savā zemē esmu dzirdējusi no tavām lietām un no tavas gudrības.
She told the king, “It's true what I heard in my own country about your proverbs and your wisdom!
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 didn't believe what they told me until I came and saw with my own eyes. In fact, I wasn't told the half of it—the extent of your wisdom far exceeds what I heard!
7 Svētīgi tavi ļaudis un svētīgi šie tavi kalpi, kas vienmēr stāv tavā priekšā un dzird tavu gudrību.
How happy your people must be! How happy those who work for you, who stand here every day listening to your wisdom!
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 the Lord your God who is so pleased with you, who placed you on his throne as king to rule on his behalf. Because of the love of your God for Israel he has made them secure forever, and he has made you king over them to do what is fair and right.”
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.
She presented the king with one hundred and twenty talents of gold, huge amounts of spices and precious stones. Never before had there been spices like those the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.
10 Tāpat arī Hirama kalpi un Salamana kalpi, kas zeltu nesa no Ofira, atnesa arī algumim kokus un dārgus akmeņus.
(Hiram and of Solomon's men, who brought gold from Ophir, also brought algum wood and precious stones.
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.
The king used the algum wood to make steps for the Temple and for the royal palace, and into lyres and harps for the musicians. Nothing like them had ever been seen before in the land of Judah.)
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.
King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba all wanted, whatever she asked for. This was far more than she had brought the king. Then she and her attendants returned home to her own country.
13 Un tas zelta svars, kas Salamanam ikgadus ienāca, bija sešsimt sešdesmit seši talenti zelta,
The weight of gold that Solomon received each year was 666 talents,
14 Bez tā, ko viņš dabūja no tirgotājiem un veikalniekiem; ir visi Arābijas ķēniņi un zemes lielkungi nesa Salamanam zeltu un sudrabu.
not including that received from traders and merchants. All the kings of Arabia and governors of the land also 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 made two hundred shields of hammered gold. Each shield required six hundred shekels of hammered gold.
16 Un trīssimt sedzamas bruņas no kalta zelta, - tur viņš deva trīs simt gabalus zelta priekš ikvienām bruņām.
He also made three hundred small shields of hammered gold. Each of these shields required three hundred gold coins. The king placed them in the Palace 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.
The king also made a great throne of ivory, and covered it with pure 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,
The throne had six steps, with a golden footstool attached. There were armrests on both sides of the seat, with lions standing beside the armrests.
19 Un divpadsmit lauvas stāvēja tur uz tiem sešiem pakāpieniem abējās pusēs. Tāds nekādā valstībā nav taisīts.
Twelve lions stood on the six steps, one on opposite ends of each step. Nothing like this had ever been made for any 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 King Solomon's drinking cups were gold, and all the utensils of the Palace of the Forest of Lebanon were pure gold. No silver was used, because it was not valued in the days of Solomon.
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 from Tarshish crewed by Hiram's sailors. Once every three years the ships of Tarshish would arrive with a cargo of gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks.
22 Tā ķēniņš Salamans tapa lielāks, nekā visi ķēniņi virs zemes, bagātībā un gudrībā.
King Solomon was greater than any other king on earth in wealth and wisdom.
23 Un visi ķēniņi virs zemes meklēja Salamana vaigu, viņa gudrību dzirdēt, ko Dievs tam bija devis sirdī.
All the kings of the earth wanted to meet Solomon to hear the wisdom that God had placed in his mind.
24 Un tie atnesa ikkatrs savas dāvanas, sudraba un zelta traukus un drēbes un bruņas un dārgas zāles, zirgus un zirgēzeļus ik gadus.
Year after year, every visitor would bring gifts—articles of silver and gold, clothes, weapons, spices, horses, and mules.
25 Un Salamanam bija četrtūkstoš zirgu stelinģu un divpadsmit tūkstoš jātnieki, un viņš tos lika ratu pilsētās un pie ķēniņa Jeruzālemē.
Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen. He kept them in the chariot towns, and also with him in Jerusalem.
26 Un viņš valdīja pār visiem ķēniņiem no lielupes līdz Fīlistu zemei un līdz Ēģiptes robežām.
He ruled over all the kings from the Euphrates River to the land of the Philistines, and to the border with Egypt.
27 Un ķēniņš darīja, ka tik daudz sudraba bija Jeruzālemē kā akmeņu, un ciedru koku tik daudz, kā meža vīģes koku ielejās.
The king made silver as plentiful in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar wood as plentiful as sycamore-figs in the foothills.
28 Un Salamanam atveda zirgus no Ēģiptes un no citām zemēm.
Solomon's horses were imported from Egypt and from many other lands.
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.
The rest of the acts of Solomon, from start to finish, are written in the Records of Nathan the Prophet, in the Prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the Visions of Iddo the Seer about Jeroboam, son of Nebat.
30 Un Salamans valdīja Jeruzālemē pār visu Israēli četrdesmit gadus.
Solomon ruled in Jerusalem over all of Israel for forty 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 city of his father David. His son Rehoboam took over as king.
