¹Kui Seeba kuninganna kuulis Saalomoni kuulsusest, siis tuli ta Jeruusalemma Saalomoni mõistuküsimustega kimbutama; ta tuli väga suure saatjaskonnaga ja kaamelitega, kes kandsid palsameid, väga palju kulda ja kalliskive. Ja kui ta jõudis Saalomoni juurde, siis kõneles ta temaga kõigest, mis tal südame peal oli.

¹And the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, and came to Jerusalem to prove Solomon with enigmas; with a very great train, and camels that bore spices and gold in great abundance, and precious stones; and she came to Solomon, and spoke with him of all that was in her heart.

²Aga Saalomon vastas kõigile tema küsimustele; ükski tema küsimus ei olnud Saalomonile liiga raske; ta suutis vastata kõigile.

²And Solomon explained to her all she spoke of, and there was not a thing hidden from Solomon that he did not explain to her.

³Kui Seeba kuninganna nägi Saalomoni tarkust, ja koda, mille ta oli ehitanud,

³And when the queen of Sheba saw the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had built,

⁴rooga ta laual ja kuidas ta sulased istusid, tema teenrite teenimist ja nende riietust, tema joogikallajaid ja nende riietust ja tema ülesminemist, kuidas ta läks üles Issanda kotta, siis jäi ta otse hingetuks.

⁴and the food of his table, and the deportment of his servants, and the order of service of his attendants and their apparel, and his cupbearers and their apparel, and his ascent by which he went up to the house of Jehovah, there was no more spirit in her.

⁵Ja ta ütles kuningale: 'See kuuldus oli tõsi, mis ma oma maal kuulsin sinust ja su tarkusest.

⁵And she said to the king, It was a true report that I heard in mine own land of thine affairs and of thy wisdom;

⁶Aga ma ei uskunud neid jutte mitte enne, kui ma tulin ja nägin oma silmaga; ja vaata, mulle ei olnud räägitud pooltki sinu suurest tarkusest. Sa ületasid kuulduse, mida ma olin kuulnud.

⁶but I gave no credit to their words, until I came and mine eyes had seen; and behold, the half of the greatness of thy wisdom was not told me: thou exceedest the report that I heard.

⁷Õnnelikud on su mehed ja õnnelikud on need su sulased, kes seisavad alati su ees ja kuulevad su tarkust!

⁷Happy are thy men, and happy are these thy servants, who stand continually before thee and hear thy wisdom!

⁸Kiidetud olgu Issand, su Jumal, kellele sa nõnda meeldisid, et ta pani su oma aujärjele kuningaks Issanda, su Jumala ees! Sellepärast, et su Jumal armastab Iisraeli ja tahab temale anda igavest püsi, on ta sind pannud neile kuningaks, et sa teeksid, mis on kohus ja õige.'

⁸Blessed be Jehovah thy God, who delighted in thee, to set thee on his throne, to be king to Jehovah thy God! Because thy God loved Israel, to establish them for ever, therefore did he make thee king over them, to do judgment and justice.

⁹Ja ta andis kuningale sada kakskümmend talenti kulda ja väga palju palsameid ja kalliskive; iialgi enam ei ole olnud seesuguseid palsameid kui need, mis Seeba kuninganna andis kuningas Saalomonile.

⁹And she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices in very great abundance, and precious stones; neither was there any such spice as that which the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.

¹⁰Aga ka Huurami sulased ja Saalomoni sulased, kes tõid kulda Oofirist, tõid algumipuid ja kalliskive.

¹⁰(And the servants also of Huram, and the servants of Solomon, who brought gold from Ophir, brought sandal-wood and precious stones.

¹¹Ja kuningas tegi algumipuust trepid Issanda kojale ja kuningakojale, samuti kandleid ja naableid lauljaile; seesuguseid ei olnud Juudamaal enne nähtud.

¹¹And the king made of the sandal-wood stairs for the house of Jehovah, and for the king's house, and harps and lutes for the singers. And there were none such seen before in the land of Judah.)

¹²Ja kuningas Saalomon andis Seeba kuningannale kõike, mida ta soovis ja palus, aga mitte seda, mis ta kuningale oli toonud; siis kuninganna pöördus ümber ja läks tagasi oma maale, tema ja ta sulased.

¹²And king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she asked, besides what she had brought to the king. And she turned and went to her own land, she and her servants.

¹³Ja kulla kaal, mis tuli Saalomoni kätte ühe aasta jooksul, oli kuussada kuuskümmend kuus talenti kulda,

¹³And the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold,

¹⁴lisaks see, mida tõid suurkaupmehed ja kaubitsejad; ka kõik Araabia kuningad ja maa asevalitsejad tõid Saalomonile kulda ja hõbedat.

¹⁴besides [what] dealers and merchants brought, and [what] all the kings of Arabia and the governors of the country brought of gold and silver to Solomon.

¹⁵Ja kuningas Saalomon valmistas kakssada kilpi taotud kullast, tarvitades kuussada seeklit taotud kulda üheks kilbiks;

¹⁵And king Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold, -- he applied six hundred [shekels] of beaten gold to one target;

¹⁶ja kolmsada väiksemat kilpi taotud kullast, tarvitades kolmsada seeklit kulda üheks kilbiks; ja kuningas pani need Liibanonimetsakotta.

¹⁶and three hundred shields of beaten gold, -- he applied three hundred [shekels] of gold to one shield; and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.

¹⁷Ja kuningas valmistas suure elevandiluust aujärje ning kattis selle puhta kullaga.

¹⁷And the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold;

¹⁸Aujärjel oli kuus astet ja kullast jalajäri, mis oli kinnitatud aujärje külge; kummalgi pool istepaika olid käetoed ja kaks lõvi seisis käetugede kõrval.

¹⁸and the throne had six steps, with a footstool of gold fastened to the throne; and there were arms on each side at the place of the seat, and two lions stood beside the arms;

¹⁹Ja seal seisis kaksteist lõvi kuuel astmel kummalgi pool; seesugust pole valmistatud mitte üheski muus kuningriigis.

¹⁹and 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.

²⁰Ja kuningas Saalomoni kõik joogiriistad olid kullast, samuti olid Liibanonimetsakoja riistad puhtast kullast; hõbedat ei peetud Saalomoni ajal mikski,

²⁰And all king Solomon's drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of precious gold: silver was not of the least account in the days of Solomon.

²¹sest kuningal oli laevu, mis käisid Tarsises Huurami sulastega; igal kolmandal aastal tulid Tarsise laevad, tuues kulda ja hõbedat, elevandiluud, pärdikuid ja paabulinde.

²¹For the king's ships went to Tarshish with the servants of Huram: once in three years came the ships of Tarshish, bringing gold and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.

²²Ja kuningas Saalomon sai rikkuse ja tarkuse poolest suurimaks kõigist kuningaist maa peal.

²²And king Solomon was greater than all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.

²³Ja kõik maailma kuningad püüdsid näha saada Saalomoni palet, et kuulda tema tarkust, mille Jumal oli pannud tema südamesse.

²³And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.

²⁴Ja nad tõid igaüks oma anni: hõbe- ja kuldriistu, riideid, relvi, palsameid, hobuseid ja muulasid; nõnda aastast aastasse.

²⁴And they brought every man his present, vessels of silver and vessels of gold, and clothing, armour, and spices, horses and mules, a rate year by year.

²⁵Ja Saalomonil oli neli tuhat latrit hobuste ja vankrite tarvis, ja kaksteist tuhat ratsanikku; ta paigutas need vankrilinnadesse ja kuninga juurde Jeruusalemma.

²⁵And Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen; and he placed them in the chariot-cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.

²⁶Ja ta valitses kõigi kuningate üle Frati jõest kuni vilistite maa ja Egiptuse piirini.

²⁶And he ruled over all the kings from the river as far as the land of the Philistines, and up to the border of Egypt.

²⁷Ja kuningas hoolitses, et Jeruusalemmas oli hõbedat nagu kive, ja seedripuid nõnda palju nagu metsviigipuid Madalmaal.

²⁷And the king made silver in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he as the sycamores that are in the lowland for abundance.

²⁸Ja hobuseid toodi Saalomonile Egiptusest ja kõigist muudest maadest.

²⁸And they brought to Solomon horses out of Egypt, and out of all lands.

²⁹Ja muud Saalomoni lood, varasemad ja hilisemad, eks need ole kirja pandud prohvet Naatani 'Kõnedes', siilolase Ahija 'Kuulutuses' ja nägija Jeddo 'Nägemustes Jerobeami, Nebati poja kohta'?

²⁹And the rest of the acts of Solomon first and last, are they not written in the words 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?

³⁰Ja Saalomon valitses Jeruusalemmas kogu Iisraeli üle nelikümmend aastat.

³⁰And Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years.

³¹Siis Saalomon läks magama oma vanemate juurde ja ta maeti oma isa Taaveti linna. Ja tema poeg Rehabeam sai tema asemel kuningaks.

³¹And Solomon slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David his father; and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead.
