1 Kings 10

DOUAI-RHEIMS	Peshitta
1 And the queen of Saba, having; heard of the fame of Solomon in the name of the Lord, came to try him with hard questions.	1 ܘܡܠܟܬ ܫܒܐ ܫܡܥܬ ܫܡܥܗ ܕܫܠܝܡܘܢ ܘܫܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܘܐܬܬ ܠܡܢܣܝܘܬܗ ܒܐ̈ܘܚܕܬܐ
2 And entering into Jerusalem with a great train, and riches, and camels that carried spices, and an immense quantity of gold, and precious stones, she came to king Solomon, and spoke to him all that she had in her heart.	2 ܘܐܬܬ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܒܚܝܠܐ ܣܓܝܐܐ ܕܛܒ ܘܓܡ̈ܠܐ ܕܛܥܝܢ̈ܝܢ ܒܣ̈ܡܐ ܘܕܗܒܐ ܣܘܓܐܐ ܕܛܒ ܘܟܐ̈ܦܐ ܛܒ̈ܬܐ ܘܐܬܬ ܠܘܬ ܡܠܟܐ ܫܠܝܡܘܢ ܘܢܣܝܬܗ ܒܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܒܠܒܗ
3 And Solomon informed her of all the things she proposed to him: there was not any word the king was ignorant of, and which he could not answer her.	3 ܘܚܘܝܗ ܫܠܝܡܘܢ ܟܘܠܗܝܢ ܡ̈ܠܐ ܘܡܕܡ ܠܐ ܐܬܟܣܝ ܡܢ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܠܐ ܚܘܝܗ
4 And when the queen of Saba saw all the wisdom of Solomon, and the house which he had built,	4 ܘܚܙܬ ܡܠܟܬ ܫܒܐ ܟܠܗ ܚܟܡܬܗ ܕܫܠܝܡܘܢ ܘܒܝܬܐ ܕܒܢܐ
5 And the meat of his table, and the apartments of his servants, and the order of his ministers, and their apparel, and the cupbearers, and the holocausts, which he offered in the house of the Lord: she had no longer any spirit in her,	5 ܘܡܐܟܠ ܦܬܘܪܗ ܘܡܘܬܒ ܥܒ̈ܕܘܗܝ ܘܩܝܡ ܡܫܡ̈ܫܢܘܗܝ ܘܠܒ̈ܘܫܝܗܘܢ ܘܫ̈ܩܘܬܗ ܘܠܒ̈ܘܫܝܗܘܢ ܘܥ̈ܠܘܬܗ ܕܡܣܩ ܗܘܐ ܒܒܝܬܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܘܠܐ ܐܫܬܚܪܬ ܒܗ ܬܘܒ ܪܘܚܐ
6 And she said to the king: The report is true, which I heard in my own country,	6 ܘܐܡܪܬ ܠܡܠܟܐ ܫܪܝܪܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܦܬܓܡܐ ܕܫܡܥܬ ܒܐܪܥܝ ܥܠ ܦܬ̈ܓܡܝܟ ܘܥܠ ܚܟܡܬܟ
7 Concerning thy words, and concerning thy wisdom. And I did not believe them that told me, till I came myself, and saw with my own eyes, and have found that the half hath not been told me: thy wisdom and thy works, exceed the fame which I heard.	7 ܘܠܐ ܗܝܡܢܬ ܠܦܬ̈ܓܡܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܐܬܝܬ ܘܚܙܝ ܥܝܢ̈ܝ ܘܗܐ ܠܐ ܚܘܝܘ ܠܝ ܦܠܓܐ ܐܘܣܦܬ ܚܟܡܬܐ ܘܛܒܬܐ ܥܠ ܛܒܐ ܕܫܡܥܬ
8 Blessed are thy men, and blessed are thy servants, who stand before thee always, and hear thy wisdom.	8 ܛܘܒ̈ܝܗܝܢ ܠܢܫ̈ܝܟ ܛܘܒܝܗܘܢ ܠܥܒ̈ܕܝܟ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܩܝܡܝܢ ܩܕܡܝܟ ܐܡܝܢܐܝܬ ܘܫܡܥܝܢ ܚܟܡܬܟ
9 Blessed be the Lord thy God, whom thou hast pleased, and who hath set thee upon the throne of Israel, because the Lord hath loved Israel for ever, and hath appointed thee king, to do judgment and justice.	9 ܢܗܘܐ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܟ ܒܪܝܟ ܕܨܒܐ ܒܟ ܘܐܘܬܒܟ ܥܠ ܟܘܪܣܝܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܡܛܠ ܕܪܚܡ ܡܪܝܐ ܠܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܠܥܠܡ ܥܒܕܟ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܬܥܒܕ ܕܝܢܐ ܘܙܕܝܩܘܬܐ
10 And she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices a very great store, and precious stones: there was brought no more such abundance of spices as these which the queen of Saba gave to king Solomon.	10 ܘܝܗܒܬ ܠܡܠܟܐ ܫܠܝܡܘܢ ܡܐܐ ܘܥܣܪ̈ܝܢ ܟܟܪ̈ܐ ܕܕܗܒܐ ܘܒܣ̈ܡܐ ܣܘܓܐܐ ܕܛܒ ܘܟܐ̈ܦܐ ܛܒ̈ܬܐ ܘܠܐ ܐܬܘ ܐܝܟ ܒܣ̈ܡܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܬܘܒ ܕܝܗܒܬ ܡܠܟܬ ܫܒܐ ܠܡܠܟܐ ܫܠܝܡܘܢ
11 (The navy also of Hiram, which brought gold from Ophir, brought from Ophir great plenty of thyine trees, and precious stones.	11 ܘܐܦ ܣܦܝ̈ܢܐ ܕܚܝܪܡ ܛܥܢ ܕܗܒܐ ܡܢ ܐܘܦܝܪ ܘܐܝܬܝ ܡܢ ܐܘܦܝܪ ܩܝ̈ܣܐ ܕܩܣܘܬܐ ܣܘܓܐܐ ܕܛܒ ܘܟܐ̈ܦܐ ܛܒ̈ܬܐ
12 And the king made of the thyine trees the rails of the house of the Lord, and of the king's house, and citterns and harps for singers: there were no such thyine trees as these brought, nor seen unto this day.)	12 ܘܥܒܕ ܡܠܟܐ ܫܠܝܡܘܢ ܩܝܣ̈ܐ ܕܩܣܘܬܐ ܬܨܒܝܬܐ ܠܒܝܬܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܘܠܒܝܬ ܡܠܟܐ ܘܟܢܪ̈ܐ ܘܩܝܬܪ̈ܐ ܠܡܫܒܚ̈ܢܐ ܠܐ ܐܬܘ ܐܝܟ ܗܢܘܢ ܩܝ̈ܣܐ ܕܩܣܘܬܐ ܘܠܐ ܐܬܚܙܝܘ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܝܘܡܢܐ
13 And king Solomon gave the queen of Saba all that she desired, and asked of him: besides what he offered he himself of his royal bounty. And she returned, and went to her own country with her servants.	13 ܘܡܠܟܐ ܫܠܝܡܘܢ ܝܗܒ ܠܡܠܟܬ ܫܒܐ ܟܠܡܕܡ ܕܨܒܬ ܘܫܐܠܬ ܣܛܪ ܡܢ ܡܕܡ ܕܝܗܒ ܠܗ ܐܝܟ ܐܝܕܐ ܕܡܠܟܐ ܘܐܬܦܢܝܬ ܘܐܙܠܬ ܠܐܪܥܗ ܗܝ ܘܥܒ̈ܕܝܗ
14 And the weight of the gold that was brought to Solomon every year, was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold:	14 ܘܗܘܐ ܡܬܩܠ ܕܗܒܐ ܕܥܐܠ ܗܘܐ ܠܫܠܝܡܘܢ ܒܫܢܬܐ ܚܕܐ ܫܬܡܐܐ ܘܫܬܝܢ ܘܫܬ ܟܟܪ̈ܐ ܕܕܗܒܐ
15 Besides that which the men brought him that were over the tributes, and the merchants, and they that sold by retail, and all the kings of Arabia, and the governors of the country.	15 ܣܛܪ ܡܢ ܐܢܫܐ ܐ̈ܘܡܢܐ ܘܬܐܓܪ̈ܬܐ ܕܬܓܪ̈ܐ ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܡ̈ܠܟܐ ܕܥܪ̈ܒܝܐ ܘܫ̈ܠܝܛܢܐ ܕܐܪܥܐ
16 And Solomon made two hundred shields of the purest gold: he allowed six hundred sides of gold for the plates of one shield.	16 ܘܥܒܕ ܡܠܟܐ ܫܠܝܡܘܢ ܡܐܬܝܢ ܣܟܪ̈ܝܢ ܕܕܗܒܐ ܣܢܝܢܐ ܘܫܬܡܐܐ ܡ̈ܢܝܢ ܕܕܗܒܐ ܐܣܩ ܥܠ ܣܟܪܐ ܚܕܐ
17 And three hundred targets of fine gold: three hundred pounds of gold covered one target: and the king put them in the house of the forest of Libanus.	17 ܘܬܠܬܡܐܐ ܡ̈ܓܢܝܢ ܕܕܗܒܐ ܣܢܝܢܐ ܘܬܠܬܡܐܐ ܡܢܝ̈ܢ ܕܕܗܒܐ ܐܣܩ ܥܠ ܡܓܢܐ ܚܕܐ ܘܣܡ ܐ̈ܢܝܢ ܡܠܟܐ ܒܝܬ ܥܒܐ ܕܠܒܢܢ
18 King Solomon also made a great throne of ivory: and overlaid it with the finest gold.	18 ܘܥܒܕ ܡܠܟܐ ܟܘܪܣܝܐ ܕܫܢܐ ܪܒܐ ܘܩܪܡܗ ܕܗܒܐ ܡܢ ܐܘܦܝܪ
19 It had six steps: and the top of the throne was round behind: and there were two hands on either side holding the seat: and two lions stood, one at each hand.	19 ܘܥܒܕ ܠܟܘܪܣܝܐ ܫܬܐ ܕܪ̈ܓܝܢ ܘܪܝܫܗ ܕܟܘܪܣܝܐ ܓܠܝܠ ܡܢ ܒܣܬܪܗ ܘܐ̈ܝܕܗܬܐ ܡܟܐ ܘܡܟܐ ܒܕܘܟܬܐ ܕܡܘܬܒܐ ܘܬܪ̈ܝܢ ܐܪ̈ܝܘܢ ܩܝܡܝܢ ܡܟܐ ܘܡܟܐ
20 And twelve little lions stood upon the six steps on the one side and on the other: there was no such work made in any kingdom.	20 ܘܬܪ̈ܥܣܪ ܐܪ̈ܝܘܢ ܩܝܡܝܢ ܥܠ ܓܒ ܫܬܐ ܕܪ̈ܓܝܢ ܡܟܐ ܘܡܟܐ ܠܐ ܐܬܥܒܕ ܗܟܢܐ ܠܟܠܗܝܢ ܡ̈ܠܟܘܬܐ
21 Moreover all the vessels, out of which king Solomon drank, were of gold: and all the furniture of the house of the forest of Libanus was of most pure gold: there was no silver, nor was any account made of it in the days of Solomon:	21 ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܡܐ̈ܢܐ ܕܬܫܡܫܬܗ ܕܡܠܟܐ ܫܠܝܡܘܢ ܕܕܗܒܐ ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܡܐ̈ܢܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܥܒܐ ܕܠܒܢܢ ܕܕܗܒܐ ܣܢܝܢܐ ܘܟܣܦܐ ܠܐ ܚܫܝܒ ܗܘܐ ܒܝ̈ܘܡܘܗܝ ܕܫܠܝܡܘܢ ܡܕܡ
22 For the king's navy, once in three years, went with the navy of Hiram by sea to Tharsis, and brought from thence gold, and silver, and elephants' teeth, and apes, and peacocks.	22 ܡܛܠ ܕܣ̈ܦܝܢܐ ܕܬܪܫܝܫ ܐܝܬ ܗ̈ܘܝ ܠܡܠܟܐ ܒܝܡܐ ܥܡ ܣܦܝ̈ܢܐ ܕܚܝܪܡ ܚܕܐ ܠܬܠܬ ܫܢܝ̈ܢ ܐܬܝܐ ܣܦܝܢܬܐ ܡܢ ܬܪܫܝܫ ܘܛܥܝܢܐ ܟܣܦܐ ܘܕܗܒܐ ܘܦܝ̈ܠܐ ܘܩܘ̈ܦܐ ܘܛܘ̈ܣܐ
23 And king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth in riches, and wisdom.	23 ܘܝܪܒ ܡܠܟܐ ܫܠܝܡܘܢ ܡܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܡ̈ܠܟܐ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܒܥܘܬܪܐ ܘܒܚܟܡܬܐ
24 And all the earth desired to see Solomon's face, to hear his wisdom, which God had given in his heart.	24 ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܡ̈ܠܟܐ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܒܥܝܢ ܠܡܚܙܐ ܐ̈ܦܘܗܝ ܕܫܠܝܡܘܢ ܘܠܡܫܡܥ ܚܟܡܬܐ ܕܝܗܒ ܐܠܗܐ ܒܠܒܗ
25 And every one brought him presents, vessels of silver and of gold, garments and armour, and spices, and horses and mules every year.	25 ܘܡܝܬܝܢ ܓܒܪ ܩܘܪܒܢܗ ܡܐ̈ܢܐ ܕܕܗܒܐ ܘܡܐ̈ܢܐ ܕܟܣܦܐ ܘܠܒ̈ܘܫܐ ܘܙܝܢܐ ܘܒܣ̈ܡܐ ܘܪ̈ܟܫܐ ܘܩܪ̈ܘܟܐ ܘܟܘ̈ܕܢܘܬܐ ܟܠ ܫܢܐ ܒܫܢܐ
26 And Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen, and he had a thousand four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horseman: and he bestowed them in fenced cities, and with the king in Jerusalem.	26 ܘܟܢܫ ܡܠܟܐ ܫܠܝܡܘܢ ܡܪ̈ܟܒܬܐ ܘܦܪ̈ܫܐ ܘܗ̈ܘܝ ܠܗ ܐܠܦ ܘܐܪ̈ܒܥܡܐܐ ܡܪ̈ܟܒܬܐ ܘܬܪ̈ܥܣܪ ܐ̈ܠܦܝܢ ܦܪ̈ܫܝܢ ܘܫܒܩ ܐ̈ܢܝܢ ܠܡܪ̈ܟܒܬܐ ܒܩܘܪ̈ܝܐ ܘܡܢܗܝܢ ܥܡ ܡܠܟܐ ܒܐܘܪܫܠܡ
27 And he made silver to be as plentiful in Jerusalem as stones: and cedars to be as common as sycamores which grow in the plains.	27 ܘܝܗܒ ܡܠܟܐ ܫܠܝܡܘܢ ܟܣܦܐ ܒܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܐܝܟ ܟܐ̈ܦܐ ܘܐܪ̈ܙܐ ܝܗܒ ܐܝܟ ܫܩ̈ܡܐ ܕܒܦܩܥܬܐ ܣܘܓܐܐ
28 And horses were brought for Solomon out of Egypt, and Coa: for the king's merchants brought them out of Coa, and bought them at a set price.	28 ܘܡܦܩܢܐ ܕܪ̈ܟܫܐ ܕܫܠܝܡܘܢ ܡܢ ܡܨܪܝܢ. ܘܐܓܪܐ ܕܬܓܪ̈ܐ ܕܡܠܟܐ ܢܣܒܝܢ ܙܒܢܐ ܒܕܡ̈ܝܐ.
29 And a chariot of four horses came out of Egypt, for six hundred sides of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty. And after this manner did all the kings of the Hethites, and of Syria, sell horses.	29 ܘܣܠܩܐ ܗܘܬ ܡܪܟܒܬܐ ܡܢ ܡܨܪܝܢ ܒܫܬܡܐܐ ܕܟܣܦܐ ܘܣܘܣܝܐ ܒܡܐܐ ܘܚܡܫܝܢ ܘܗܟܢܐ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܡ̈ܠܟܐ ܕܚ̈ܬܝܐ ܘܡ̈ܠܟܐ ܕܐܕܘܡ ܒܐ̈ܝܕܝܗܘܢ ܐܝܬܝܘ ܣܘܓܐܐ
