1 Kings 10
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon because of the name of the LORD, she came to prove him with hard questions.
1BOEIPA ming dongah Solomon kah olthang te Sheba manghainu loh a yaak vaengah olkael neh anih te noemcai ham ha pawk.
2And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels that bore spices and gold very much, and precious stones; and when she was come to Solomon, she spoke with him of all that was in her heart.
2Jerusalem la tatthai a muep ayet neh, botui neh sui muep a yet, lung vang aka phuei kalauk neh pawk. Solomon taengla a pha vaengah a thinko ah a om bangla a cungkuem te a taengah a thui pah.
3And Solomon told her all her questions; there was not any thing hid from the king which he told her not.
3Anih ol boeih te Solomon loh a taengah a hlat pah. Anih taengah a hlat pah pawt ham khaw manghai ham ol a hlael a om moenih.
4And when the queen of Sheba had seen all the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had built,
4Sheba manghainu loh Solomon kah cueihnah cungkuem neh im a sak te khaw,
5and the food of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel, and his cupbearers, and his burnt-offering which he offered in the house of the LORD, there was no more spirit in her.
5a caboei dongkah caak neh a sal rhoek kah ngolhmuen, ngolhmuen dongah aka thotat rhoek kah a thohtat, a hnicu neh a tuitul rhoek, BOEIPA im kah a nawn a hmueihhlutnah te ahmuh vaengah a khuiah a mueihla om voel pawh.
6And she said to the king: 'It was a true report that I heard in mine own land of thine acts, and of thy wisdom.
6Te dongah manghai te, “Nang kah olka neh nang kah cueihnah he kamah kho ah ka yaak bangla olthang he oltak la om coeng.
7Howbeit I believed not the words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it; and, behold, the half was not told me; thou hast wisdom and prosperity exceeding the fame which I heard.
7Ka pawk hlan hil tah olka la ka tangnah moenih, ka mik loh a hmuh vaengah tah kai hamla rhakthuem pataeng a thui moenih ko he. Olthang ka yaak lakah khaw cueihnah neh kawnthen neh na coih.
8Happy are thy men, happy are these thy servants, that stand continually before thee, and that hear thy wisdom.
8Na hlang rhoek loh a yoethen, na sal rhoek khaw a yoethen, na mikhmuh kah aka pai rhoek khaw na cueihnah a yaak uh taitu.
9Blessed be the LORD thy God, who delighted in thee, to set thee on the throne of Israel; because the LORD loved Israel for ever, therefore made He thee king, to do justice and righteousness.'
9Nang dongah hmae tih BOEIPA loh kumhal hil Israel a lungnah dongah Israel ngolkhoel dongah nang aka khueh BOEIPA na Pathen tah a yoethen pai. Te dongah nang te tiktamnah neh duengnah saii ham ni manghai la ng'khueh,” a ti nah.
10And she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices very great store, and precious stones; there came no more such abundance of spices as these which the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.
10Te vaengah manghai taengla a paek te sui talent ya pakul lo tih botui neh lung vang khaw bahoeng yet. Sheba manghainu loh manghai Solomon taengah a khawk la apaek botui bang he koep a phoe noek moenih.
11And the navy also of Hiram, that brought gold from Ophir, brought in from Ophir great plenty of sandal-wood and precious stones.
11Khiram kah sangpho long khaw Ophir lamkah sui a khuen pah. Ophir lamloh a khuen almak thing neh lung vang khaw bahoeng yet.
12And the king made of the sandal-wood pillars for the house of the LORD, and for the king's house, harps also and psalteries for the singers; there came no such sandal-wood, nor was seen, unto this day.
12Manghai loh almak thing te BOEIPA im neh manghai im kah longkawn la, laa aka sa rhoek ham rhotoeng neh thangpa la a saii pah. Tahae khohnin due almak thing te yet te om noek pawt tih a hmuh noek moneih.
13And king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatsoever she asked, beside that which Solomon gave her of his royal bounty. So she turned, and went to her own land, she and her servants.
13Manghai Solomon loh manghainu Sheba te a kongaih boeih a rhoi pah. Solomon manghai kah kutmuei voel ah anih te a bih sarhui a paek thil pueng. Te phoeiah anih te mael tih a sal rhoek neh amah kho la cet.
14Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred threescore and six talents of gold,
14Kum khat ah Solomon taengah aka pawk sui he a khiing sui talent ya rhuk sawmrhuk parhuk lo.
15beside that which came of the merchants, and of the traffic of the traders, and of all the kings of the mingled people and of the governors of the country.
15Long yaam hlang rhoek taeng lamkah khaw, thimpom hlaikannah kah khaw, Arabia manghai rhoek boeih neh khohmuen rhalboei rhoek lamkah khaw om pueng.
16And king Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold: six hundred shekels of gold went to one target.
16Manghai Solomon loh Sui photlinglen yahnih a saii tih photlinglen pakhat dongah sui ya rhuk cet la a boh.
17And he made three hundred shields of beaten gold: three pounds of gold went to one shield; and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
17Sui photlingca te ya thum lo tih photlingca khat dongah sui mina pathum cet la a boh. Te rhoek te manghai loh Lebanon duup im ah a khueh.
18Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with the finest gold.
18Manghai loh vueino ngolkhoel len khaw a saii tih sui cilh neh a ben thil.
19There were six steps to the throne, and the top of the throne was round behind; and there were arms on either side by the place of the seat, and two lions standing beside the arms.
19Ngolkhoel dongla tangtlaeng parhuk om tih ngolkhoel kah a hnuk sampoeng tah pumrhuelh. Ngolnah hmuen kah khatben khatbang ah a kut om tih a kut kaep ah sathueng pumnit pai.
20And 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.
20Tangtlaeng parhuk dongkah khatben khatbang ah aka pai sathueng te pum hlai nit lo. Ram tom ah te bang te a saii uh moenih.
21And 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; it was nothing accounted of in the days of Solomon.
21Manghai Solomon kah tui-ok hnopai boeih he sui tih Lebanon duup im kah hnopai boeih khaw sui cilh ni. Solomon tue vaengah tah cak he hno khat la a ngai pawt dongah nuen sak pawh.
22For the king had at sea a navy of Tarshish with the navy of Hiram; once every three years came the navy of Tarshish, bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
22Manghai kah Tarshish sangpho khaw tuipuei kah Khiram sangpho neh kum thum ah vai a voei pah. Tarshish sangpho loh sui neh cak khaw, vueino neh kaipoeh khaw, varhing khaw a phueih pah.
23So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth in riches and in wisdom.
23Solomon manghai he diklai manghai boeih lakah khuehtawn dongah khaw, cueihnah dongah khaw khuet coeng.
24And all the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
24Pathen loh a lungbuei ah a khueh pah a cueihnah te hnatun hamla diklai boeih loh Solomon kah maelhmai te a toem uh.
25And they brought every man his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and raiment, and armour, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year.
25Amih loh a khocang la cak hnopai, sui hno, himbai, lungpok haica, botui, marhang neh muli-marhang khaw, a kum kum ah rhip a thak uh.
26And Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen; and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, that he bestowed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
26Solomon loh leng neh marhang caem te a coi tih amah taengah leng thawng khat ya li neh marhang caem thawng hlai nit om. Te rhoek te leng khopuei rhoek neh Jerusalem kah manghai taengah a pael.
27And the king made silver to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he to be as the sycamore-trees that are in the Lowland, for abundance.
27Manghai loh cak te Jerusalem ah lungto bangla a khueh tih lamphai te kolrhawk kah aka ding thaihae bangla a hmoek.
28And the horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt; also out of Keveh, the king's merchants buying them of the men of Keveh at a price.
28Solomon taengah marhang kah pongthohnah dongah Egypt lamkah neh Kue lamkah khaw a loh. Manghai ham aka thimpom rhoek loh Kue lamkah te a phu la a loh uh.
29And a chariot came up and went out of Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty; and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Aram, did they bring them out by their means.
29Egypt lamkah leng pakhat ah tangka ya rhuk la, marhang te ya sawmnga la a loh tih a khuen sak. Te tlam te Khitti manghai boeih taeng neh Aram manghai rhoek taengah khaw a kut dongah a khuen sak uh.
