¹Kui Seeba kuninganna kuulis Saalomoni kuulsusest Issanda nime tõttu, siis ta tuli teda mõistuküsimustega kimbutama.

¹When the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of Yahweh, she came to prove him with hard questions.

²Ta tuli Jeruusalemma väga suure saatjaskonnaga ja kaamelitega, kes kandsid palsameid, väga palju kulda ja kalliskive. Ja kui ta jõudis Saalomoni juurde, siis ta kõneles temaga kõigest, mis tal südame peal oli.

²She came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels that bore spices, and very much gold, and precious stones; and when she had come to Solomon, she talked with him of all that was in her heart.

³Aga Saalomon vastas kõigile tema küsimustele; ükski tema küsimus ei olnud kuningale liiga raske, ta suutis vastata kõigile.

³Solomon told her all her questions: there was not anything hidden from the king which he didn’t tell her.

⁴Kui Seeba kuninganna nägi kõike Saalomoni tarkust, ja koda, mille ta oli ehitanud,

⁴When the queen of Sheba had seen all the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had built,

⁵rooga ta laual, kuidas ta sulased istusid, tema teenrite teenimist ja nende riietust, tema jooke ja tema põletusohvreid, mis ta ohverdas Issanda kojas, siis ta jäi otse hingetuks.

⁵and the food of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their clothing, and his cup bearers, and his ascent by which he went up to the house of Yahweh; there was no more spirit in her.

⁶Ja ta ütles kuningale: 'See kõne oli tõsi, mis ma oma maal kuulsin sinust ja sinu tarkusest.

⁶She said to the king, “It was a true report that I heard in my own land of your acts, and of your wisdom.

⁷Aga mina ei uskunud neid jutte enne, kui ma tulin ja nägin oma silmaga; ja vaata, mulle ei olnud räägitud pooltki. Sinul on rohkem tarkust ja vara kui kuulduses, mida ma olin kuulnud.

⁷However I didn’t believe the words, until I came, and my eyes had seen it. Behold, the half was not told me! Your wisdom and prosperity exceed the fame which I heard.

⁸Õnnelikud on su mehed, õnnelikud on need su sulased, kes seisavad alati su ees ja kuulevad su tarkust.

⁸Happy are your men, happy are these your servants, who stand continually before you, who hear your wisdom.

⁹Kiidetud olgu Issand, su Jumal, kellele sa nõnda meeldisid, et ta pani su Iisraeli aujärjele! Sellepärast et Issand Iisraeli igavesti armastab, on ta sind pannud kuningaks, et sa teeksid, mis on kohus ja õige.'

⁹Blessed is Yahweh your God, who delighted in you, to set you on the throne of Israel. Because Yahweh loved Israel forever, therefore made he you king, to do justice and righteousness.”

¹⁰Ja ta andis kuningale sada kakskümmend talenti kulda ning väga palju palsameid ja kalliskive; nii suurt hulka palsameid kui see, mis Seeba kuninganna andis kuningas Saalomonile, ei toodud enam kunagi.

¹⁰She gave the king one hundred 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.

¹¹Ka Hiirami laevad, mis olid toonud kulda Oofirist, tõid Oofirist väga palju almugipuud ja kalliskive.

¹¹The navy also of Hiram, that brought gold from Ophir, brought in from Ophir great plenty of almug trees and precious stones.

¹²Ja kuningas valmistas almugipuust tugiosad Issanda kojale ja kuningakojale, samuti kandleid ja naableid lauljaile; niisugust almugipuud ei ole toodud ega nähtud enam tänapäevani.

¹²The king made of the almug trees pillars for the house of Yahweh, and for the king’s house, harps also and stringed instruments for the singers: there came no such almug trees, nor were seen, to this day.

¹³Ja kuningas Saalomon andis Seeba kuningannale kõike, mida ta soovis ja palus, lisaks sellele, mis temale oli antud kuningas Saalomoni jõu kohaselt; siis kuninganna pöördus ümber ja läks tagasi oma maale, tema ja ta sulased.

¹³King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she asked, besides that which Solomon gave her of his royal bounty. So she turned, and went to her own land, she and her servants.

¹⁴Ja kulla kaal, mis tuli Saalomoni kätte ühe aasta jooksul, oli kuussada kuuskümmend kuus talenti kulda,

¹⁴Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred sixty-six talents of gold,

¹⁵lisaks see, mis tuli suurkaupmeestelt ja kaubitsejate tulust, samuti kõigilt Araabia kuningailt ja maa asevalitsejailt.

¹⁵besides 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.

¹⁶Ja kuningas Saalomon valmistas kakssada suurt kilpi taotud kullast, tarvitades kuussada seeklit kulda üheks kilbiks;

¹⁶King Solomon made two hundred bucklers of beaten gold; six hundred shekels of gold went to one buckler.

¹⁷ja kolmsada väiksemat kilpi taotud kullast, tarvitades kolm miini kulda üheks kilbiks; ja kuningas pani need Liibanonimetsakotta.

¹⁷he 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.

¹⁸Ja kuningas valmistas suure elevandiluust aujärje ning kattis selle puhta kullaga.

¹⁸Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with the finest gold.

¹⁹Aujärjel oli kuus astet ja aujärje tagakülg oli pealt ümmargune; kummalgi pool istepaika olid käetoed ja käetugede kõrval seisid kaks lõvi.

¹⁹There were six steps to the throne, and the top of the throne was round behind; and there were stays on either side by the place of the seat, and two lions standing beside the stays.

²⁰Ja seal seisid kaksteist lõvi kummalgi pool kuuel astmel; niisugust ei ole valmistatud mitte üheski muus kuningriigis.

²⁰Twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other on the six steps: there was nothing like it made in any kingdom.

²¹Ja kõik kuningas Saalomoni joogiriistad olid kullast, samuti olid kõik Liibanonimetsakoja riistad puhtast kullast; hõbedasi ei olnudki, seda ei peetud Saalomoni ajal mikski,

²¹All 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.

²²sest kuningal olid merel Tarsise laevad koos Hiirami laevadega: igal kolmandal aastal tulid Tarsise laevad ja tõid kulda ja hõbedat, elevandiluud, pärdikuid ja paabulinde.

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.

²³Ja kuningas Saalomon sai rikkuse ja tarkuse poolest suurimaks kõigist kuningaist maa peal.

²³So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth in riches and in wisdom.

²⁴Ja kogu maailm püüdis näha saada Saalomoni palet, et kuulda tema tarkust, mille Jumal oli pannud tema südamesse.

²⁴All the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.

²⁵Ja nad tõid igaüks oma anni: hõbe- ja kuldriistu, riideid, relvi, palsameid, hobuseid ja muulasid; nõnda aastast aastasse.

²⁵They brought every man his tribute, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and clothing, and armor, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year.

²⁶Ja Saalomon kogus sõjavankreid ja ratsanikke, ja tal oli tuhat nelisada sõjavankrit ja kaksteist tuhat ratsanikku; need ta paigutas vankrilinnadesse ja kuninga juurde Jeruusalemma.

²⁶Solomon 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.

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

²⁷The 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.

²⁸Saalomoni hobused olid toodud Egiptusest ja Kiliikiast; kuninga ülesostjad tõid neid Kiliikiast kindla hinna eest.

²⁸The horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt; and the king’s merchants received them in droves, each drove at a price.

²⁹Egiptusest toodi vanker kuuesaja hõbeseekli eest ja hobune saja viiekümne eest, ja nõnda toodi neid nende vahendusel kõigile hettide ja süürlaste kuningaile.

²⁹A chariot came up and went out of Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for one hundred fifty; and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, they brought them out by their means.
