And the queen of Saba heard of the name of Solomon, and she came to Jerusalem with a very large force, to prove Solomon with hard questions, and she had camels bearing spices in abundance, and gold, and precious stones: and she came to Solomon, and told him all that was in her mind.

¹

Цр~ца же сава` е^гда` слы'ша слXђ соло'моновъ, и^ прїиде да и^скђша'етъ е^го, въ гаданїихъ, въ і^ерsли'мњ, съ си'лою тя'жкою ѕњ'ло. и^ вельблю'ды и^же ноша'хђ, во'ни бл~говоnны и^ зла'та, и^ ка'менїя драга'го, и^ прїиде къ соло'монђ и^ гл~ала е^сть е^мђ вся` е^ли'ка бњша въ срDцы е^я`,

²

And Solomon told her all her words; and there passed not a word from Solomon which he told her not.

²

и^ възвњсти` соло'монъ вся` словеса` е^я`, и^ ничт^о не бы'сть. е^же бы не ѓ^бъја^вле'но е'й сътвори'лъ.

³

And the queen of Saba saw the wisdom of Solomon, and the house which he had built,

³

и^ ви'дњ цр~ца сава` премђдрость соло'моню, и^ до'мъ е^же създа'лъ,

⁴

and the meat of the tables, and the sitting of his servants, and the standing of his ministers, and their raiment; and his cupbearers, and their apparel; and the whole-burnt-offerings which he offered up in the house of the Lord; then she was in ecstasy.

⁴

и^ ја^де'нїе стола` е^го. и^ сњда'лища рабо'мъ и^ прави'ла слђже'бникомъ е^го, и^ ри'зы и^хъ, и^ ѓ^дњя'нїя и^хъ. и^ поDча'шїи е^го, и^ вс^есъж#же'нїя ја%же жря'ше в домђ` гн~и” Не бы'сть эT ё'жасти да'ле в не'и дх~ъ,

⁵

And she said to the king, It was a true report which I heard in my land concerning thy words, and concerning thy wisdom.

⁵

рече же къ цр~ю, и%стинно е^сть сло'во, е^же слы'шахъ в# земли` мое'и, ѓ^ премђдрости твое'и, и^ словесе'хъ твои^хъ,

⁶

Yet I believed not the reports until I came, and my eyes saw: and, behold, the half of the abundance of thy wisdom was not told me: thou hast exceeded the report which I heard.

⁶

и^ не вњ'ровахъ повњда'ющимъ, до'н#деже сама` прїидо'хъ и^ ви'дњша ѓ%чи мои`. і^ и^скђси'хъ, и^ е'два полови'на премђ'дрости твое'я мн^њ бысть повњдана. приложи'лъ е^си къ слы'шанїю, ја%же слы'шала.

⁷

Blessed are thy men, blessed are these thy servants, who stand before thee continually, and hear thy wisdom.

⁷

бл~жени мђжи твои`. и^ бл~жени раби` твои` сїи, и^же преDстоя'тъ преD тобою на всяко вре'мя. и^ слы'шатъ премђдрость твою`,

⁸

Blessed be the Lord thy God, who took pleasure in thee, to set thee upon his throne for a king, to the Lord thy God: forasmuch as the Lord thy God loved Israel to establish them for ever, therefore he has set thee over them for a king to execute judgment and justice.

⁸

да бђдетъ г~ь б~ъ твои блsвенъ, и^же въсхотњ тебе ё^чини'ти на прsтлњ е^го. цр~емъ лю'демъ г~а б~а твое^го. зане` възлюби` б~ъ і^и^л~я, и^ хо'щетъ съхрани'ти е^го въ вњки. того ради поста'ви тя наD ни'ми цр~я. да сътвори'ши сђдбы` и^ пра'вдђ.

⁹

And she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices in very great abundance, and precious stones: and there were not any where else such spices as those which the queen of Saba gave king Solomon.

⁹

даде' же цр~ю. р~к, тала'нта зла'та. и^ а^рома'ты мно'ги ѕњло. и^ камени предража'иши” И$ не бы'ша а^рома'ты таковы'я, ја%ко сїя, и^же да'сть цр~ца сава` цр~ю соло'монђ.

¹⁰

And the servants of Solomon and the servants of Chiram brought gold to Solomon out of Suphir, and pine timber, and precious stones.

¹⁰

н^о и^ рабы` хира'мовы, съ рабы` соло'моними. приноша'хђ зла'то эT сђфи'ра, и^ дре'ва пе'в#гова, и^ ка'менїе предража'ише”

¹¹

And the king made of the pine timber steps to the house of the Lord, and to the king's house, and harps and lutes for the singers: and such were not seen before in the land of Juda.

¹¹

И$ сътвори` соло'монъ цр~ь, эT дре'въ певговыхъ стђп#нњ в домъ гн~ь. и^ в до'мъ цр~евъ, и^ гђсли, и^ ўалты'ри пњснїи. никогда' же ви'дњна сђть в# земли` і^ё'динњ такова'я.

¹²

And king Solomon gave to the queen of Saba all that she requested, besides all that she brought to king Solomon: and she returned to her own land.

¹²

цр~ь же соло'монъ дасть цр~ци савњ` вс^я, і^ и^же въсхотњла ја%же проси`. и^ мно'жае бол#ши неже принесе` к немђ`, ја^же възврати'ся в зе'млю свою съ рабы` свои'ми”

¹³

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

¹³

Бњ же тя'гость зла'та чт^о приноша'шеся къ соло'монђ по е^ді'на лњта, хћ~ѕ, тала'н#тъ зла'та.

¹⁴

besides what the men who were regularly appointed and the merchants brought, and all the kings of Arabia and princes of the land: all brought gold and silver to king Solomon.

¹⁴

ра'звњ мђжїи да'н#никъ и^ кђп#цо'въ, е^же приноша'хђ” И$ всњхъ ц~рїи а^ра'в#скихъ, и^ вла'стелїи земли, и^же ноша'хђ зла'то и^ сребро` соло'монђ.

¹⁵

And king Solomon made two hundred shields of beaten gold: there were six hundred shekels of pure gold to one shield.

¹⁵

сътвори ё^бо цр~ь соло'мон#, с~, ко'пїи зла'тыX тя'гненыX. х~, зла'тыхъ ваги`, въ е^ді'ноM копїи`.

¹⁶

And three hundred bucklers of beaten gold: the weight of three hundred gold shekels went to one buckler: and the king placed them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.

¹⁶

и^ т~, щи'товъ зла'тыхъ тя'гненыхъ тре'ю со'тъ зла'тыхъ тя'жесть е^ді'номђ щи'тђ. положи я& црь въ ѓ^рђжницђ ја%же бњ` ѓ^са'жена древомъ лива'новымъ”

¹⁷

And the king made a great throne of ivory, and he gilded it with pure gold.

¹⁷

Сотвориy цр~ь прsтлъ слоно'выхъ зђб'овъ вели'къ, и^ позлати` е^го зла'томъ чистњ'ишимъ.

¹⁸

And there were six steps to the throne, riveted with gold, and elbows on either side of the seat of the throne, and two lions standing by the elbows:

¹⁸

и^ ше'сть же стђп#неи и%миже въсхожа'ше къ прsтлђ позлаще'ни зла'томъ, и^ мы'шцицы дв^њ тђдђ и^ сю'дђ. наD прsтломъ сњда'лища, и^ дв^а льва` стоя'ща близь мы'шцеи,

¹⁹

and twelve lions standing there on the six steps on each side. There was not the like in any other kingdom.

¹⁹

н^о и%ныхъ. в~і, львичищъ стоя'ще, на ѕ~ стђпнехъ, эT ѓ^бњ'ю же странђ`” И$ не бы'сть тако'въ прsтлъ въ всњхъ црsтвњхъ.

²⁰

And all king Solomon's vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were covered with gold: silver was not thought anything of in the days of Solomon.

²⁰

вся' же сосђды цр~евы бњхђ зла'та, и^ сосђды до'мђ эT зла'та чистњ'ишаго. сребро` б^о въ дн~ехъ тњхъ низачтоже мня'шеся,

²¹

For a ship went for the king to Tharsis with the servants of Chiram: once every three years came vessels from Tharsis to the king, laden with gold, and silver, and ivory, and apes.

²¹

зане` кора'бль цр~евъ хожда'ше въ џарси'съ съ рабы` хира'мовыми е^дини'цею в лњта три`, и^ прихожда'ше кора'бль эT џарси'са, по'лонъ зла'та, и^ сребра`, и^ зђбовъ слоно'выхъ, и^ ѓ^безья'нъ”

²²

And Solomon exceeded all other kings both in riches and wisdom.

²²

Възвели'чися соло'монъ наD всњми` цр~и зе'мными. бога'тъствомъ и^ мђдростїю”

²³

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

²³

Вси же цр~и зем#стїи жела'хђ ви'дњти лице` соло'моне, и^ слы'шати премђдрость е^го. ю%же въздасть б~ъ на' срDце е^го”

²⁴

And they brought every one his gifts, silver vessels and golden vessels, and raiment, myrrh and spices, horses and mules, a rate every year.

²⁴

И$ прино'шахђ е^мђ ко'ждо да'ры. сосђды сре'бряны, и^ зла'ты, и^ ѓ^дњя'нїя, и^ ста'ктђ, и^ кон#фекъты, и^ ѓ^рђжїя, и^ а^рама'ты, ко'ни и^ мъски` по е^ді'на лњта”

²⁵

And Solomon had four thousand mares for chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen; and he put them in the chariot cities, and with the king in Jerusalem.

²⁵

И$ бњхђ же цр~ю соло'монђ, Wм~, кобы'лъ въ ста'дехъ. и^ Wі~, конн#икъ. и^ поста'ви же и^хъ въ градXњ колесни'чныхъ, и^ съ цр~емъ въ і^ерsли'мњ”

²⁶

And he ruled over all the kings from the river even to the land of the Philistines, and to the borders of Egypt.

²⁶

И$ бы'сть воже'мъ на всњхъ цр~њхъ. эT рњки е^фра'та, даже до земля` и^ноплеме'нниk. и^ даже до предњлъ е^гљ=петъскихъ.

²⁷

And the king made gold and silver in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars as the sycamore trees in the plain for abundance.

²⁷

толко же мно'жество возда'лъ зла'тA сребра` і^ерsли'мђ ја%ко ка'менїя, и^ ке'дри толи'ко мно'жества ја%ко черъничїя и^же ража'ютъся въ полеX.

²⁸

And Solomon imported horses from Egypt, and from every other country.

²⁸

и^ приводя'хђ же е^мђ ко'ни эT е^гљ=пта и^ съ всњх же стра'нъ.

²⁹

And the rest of the acts of Solomon, the first and the last, behold, these are written in the words of Nathan the prophet, and in the words of Achia the Selonite, and in the visions of Joel the seer concerning Jeroboam the son of Nabat.

²⁹

и^ про'чая же дњ'ла соломоня прьвая и^ послDњняа пи'сана сђть въ словесехъ наџа'на прoрка, и^ въ словесехъ а^хїя силони'та. и^ въ ви'денїи і^ѓ^и'ля ви'дящаго проти'вђ, і^е^ровоа'ма сн~а нава'това”

³⁰

And Solomon reigned over all Israel forty years.

³⁰

И$ цр~ьствова' же соло'монъ въ і^ерsлимњ наD всњмъ і^и^л~емъ, м~, лњтъ.

³¹

And Solomon fell asleep, and they buried him in the city of David his father: and Roboam his son reigned in his stead.

³¹

ё^спеy соло'монъ съ эTц~ы свои^ми. и^ погребо'ша е^го въ' градњ двд~вњ” И$ црsтвова же ровоаM сн~ъ е^го в него` мњсто”
