2 Chronicles 9 — English–Hebrew Parallel

1 When the malakah (queen) of Shabaa (Sheba) shamai (hearken / hear) of the shamai (fame) of Shalamah (Solomon - Patriarch), she bawaa (bring) to nasah (prove) Shalamah (Solomon - Patriarch) with chayadah (hard) questions at Yarawashalam (Yarawashalam / Jerusalem), with a very kabad (great) chayal (wealth / substance / capability / valor), and gamalayam (camels) that nashaa (lift) bashamayam (spices), and zahab (gold) in rab (abundance), and yaqar (precious) aban (stone): and when she bawaa (bring) come to Shalamah (Solomon - Patriarch), she dabar (word / matter) with him of all that was in her labab (heart).

2 Shalamah (Solomon - Patriarch) nagad (told) her all her dabar (word / matter); and there was not anything ilam (hidden) from Shalamah (Solomon - Patriarch) which he didn't nagad (tell) her.

3 When the malakah (queen) of Shabaa (Sheba) raah (see / saw) seen the chakamah (wisdom) of Shalamah (Solomon - Patriarch), and the bayath (house) that he had banah (build),

4 And the maakal (food) of his shalachan (table), and the mawashab (sitting) of his ibad (servant), and the maimad (attendance) of his sharath (ministers), and their clothing, his cup bearers also, and their clothing, and his ilayah (ascent) by which he ilah (go up / offer) up to the bayath (house) of Yahawah (); there was no more rawach (spirit / wind) in her.

5 She amar (said) to the malak (king), “It was a amath (truth) dabar (word / matter) that I shamai (hearken / hear) in my own aratz (Earth/land) of your dabar (word / matter), and of your chakamah (wisdom).

6 However I didn't aman (believe / have faith) their dabar (word / matter), until I bawaa (bring), and my iyan (eye) raah (see / saw) seen it; and behold, the chatzay (half) of the marabayath (greatness) of your chakamah (wisdom) was not nagad (told) me: you yasap (exceed) the shamawaih (fame) that I shamai (hearken / hear).

7 Ashar (who/that) are your ayash (man / husband), and ashar (who/that) are these your ibad (servant), who imad (stand) continually panayam (face) you, and shamai (hearken / hear) your chakamah (wisdom).

8 Barak (blessed) be Yahawah () your Alahayam (), who chapatz (delighted) in you, to nathan (give) you on his kasaa (throne), to be malak (king) for Yahawah () your Alahayam (): because your Alahayam () ahabah (loved) Yashar-Al (Israel), to imad (establish) them iwalam (forever), therefore nathan (give) he you malak (king) over them, to ishah (make) mashapat (justice) and tzadaqah (righteousness).”

9 She nathan (give) the malak (king) one maah (hundred) and isharayam (twenty) kakar (talents) of zahab (gold), and bashamayam (spices) in maad (great) rab (abundance), and yaqar (precious) aban (stone): neither was there any such basham (spice) as the malakah (queen) of Shabaa (Sheba) nathan (give) to malak (king) Shalamah (Solomon - Patriarch).

10 The ibaday (servant of) also of Chayaram (Huram), and the ibaday (servant of) of Shalamah (Solomon - Patriarch), who bawaa (bring) zahab (gold) from Awapayar (Ophir), bawaa (bring) alagawamayam (algum) itzay (trees) and yaqar (precious) aban (stone).

11 The malak (king) ishah (make) of the alagawamayam (algum) itzay (trees) masalawath (terraces) for the bayath (house) of Yahawah (), and for the malak (king) bayath (house), and kanarawath (harps) and stringed instruments for the singers: and there were none ham (they / them) these raah (see) panayam (face) in the aratz (Earth/land) of Yahawadah (Judah).

12 Malak (king) Shalamah (Solomon - Patriarch) nathan (give) to the malakah (queen) of Shabaa (Sheba) all her chapatz (desire), whatever she shaal (asked), besides that which she bawaa (bring) brought to the malak (king). So she hapak (turned), and yalak (went) to her own aratz (Earth/land), she and her ibad (servant).

13 Now the mashaqal (weight) of zahab (gold) that bawaa (bring) to Shalamah (Solomon - Patriarch) in achad (one) shanah (year) was shash (six) maah (hundred) and shashayam (sixty) - shash (six) kakaray (talents) of zahab (gold),

14 Besides that which the traders and sacharayam (merchants) bawaa (bring): and all the malakay (kings) of Irab (evening) and the pachawath (governors) of the aratz (Earth/land) bawaa (bring) zahab (gold) and kasap (silver) to Shalamah (Solomon - Patriarch).

15 Malak (king) Shalamah (Solomon - Patriarch) ishah (make) two maah (hundred) tzanah (bucklers) of shachat (beaten) zahab (gold); shash (six) maah (hundred) shekels of shachat (beaten) zahab (gold) ilah (go up / offer) to achad (one) tzanah (buckler).

16 He made shalawash (three) maah (hundred) maganayam (shields) of shachat (beaten) zahab (gold); shalawash (three) maah (hundred) shekels of zahab (gold) ilah (go up / offer) to achad (one) magan (shield): and the malak (king) nathan (give) them in the bayath (house) of the yair (forest) of Labanawan (Lebanon).

17 Moreover the malak (king) ishah (make) a gadawal (very great/important/mighty) kasaa (throne) of shan (ivory), and overlaid it with tahawar (pure) zahab (gold).

18 And there were shash (six) mailawath (steps) to the kasaa (throne), with a kabash (footstool) of zahab (gold), which were achaz (fastened) to the kasaa (throne), and yadawath (stays) on either side by the maqawam (place) of the yashab (inhabit/dwell), and shanayam (two) arayawath (lions) imad (standing) beside the yadawath (stays).

19 Shanayam (two) arayawath (lions) imad (stood) there on the one side and on the other on the shash (six) mailawath (steps): there was nothing like it ishah (make) in any mamalakah (kingdom).

20 All malak (king) Shalamah (Solomon - Patriarch) mashaqah (drinking) kalay (vessels) were of zahab (gold), and all the kalay (vessels) of the bayath (house) of the yair (forest) of Labanawan (Lebanon) were of sagar (pure) zahab (gold): kasap (silver) was maawamah (nothing) chashab (accounted) of in the yamay (days) of Shalamah (Solomon - Patriarch).

21 For the malak (king) had anayawath (ships) that halak (move) to Tharashayash (Tarshish) with the ibaday (servant of) of Chawaram (Huram); achad (one) every shalawash (three) shanayam (two) bawaa (bring) the anayawath (ships) of Tharashayash (Tarshish), nashaa (lift) zahab (gold), and kasap (silver), shanahabayam (ivory), and qawapayam (apes), and thawakayayam (peacocks).

22 So malak (king) Shalamah (Solomon - Patriarch) gadal (exceeded) all the malakay (kings) of the aratz (Earth/land) in riches and chakamah (wisdom).

23 All the malakay (kings) of the aratz (Earth/land) baqash (sought) the panayam (face) of Shalamah (Solomon), to shamai (hearken / hear) his chakamah (wisdom), which Alahayam () nathan (give) put in his lab (heart).

24 They bawaa (bring) every ayash (man / husband) his tribute, kalay (vessels) of kasap (silver), and kalay (vessels) of zahab (gold), and clothing, armor, and bashamayam (spices), sawasayam (horses), and paradayam (mules), a dabar (word / matter) shanah (year) by shanah (year).

25 Shalamah (Solomon - Patriarch) had arabai (four) alap (thousand) arayawath (stalls) for sawasayam (horses) and marakabawath (chariots), and shanayam (two) alap (thousand) horsemen, that he stationed in the rakab (chariot) iray (cities), and with the malak (king) at Yarawashalam (Yarawashalam / Jerusalem).

26 He mashal (rule/have dominion) over all the malakayam (kings) from the nahar (river) even to the aratz (Earth/land) of the Palashathay (Philistines), and to the gabawal (border/boundary) of Matzarayam (Matzarayam / Egypt).

27 The malak (king) nathan (give) kasap (silver) to be in Yarawashalam (Yarawashalam / Jerusalem) as abanayam (stones), and he nathan (give) arazayam (cedars) to be as the shaqamah (sycamore) trees that are in the lowland, for rab (abundance).

28 They yatzaa (go out / come out) sawasayam (horses) for Shalamah (Solomon - Patriarch) out of Matzarayam (Matzarayam / Egypt), and out of all aratzawath (lands).

29 Now the shaar (rest) of the dabaray (acts) of Shalamah (Solomon - Patriarch), raashawan (first) and acharawan (last), aren't they kathab (write) in the history of Nathan (give) the nabayaa (prophet/prophecy), and in the nabawaah (prophecy) of Achayah (Ahijah) the Shayalawanay (Shilonite), and in the chazawath (visions) of Yaiday (Iddo) the chazah (seer) concerning Yarabaim (Jeroboam) the ban (son) of Nabat (Nebat)?

30 Shalamah (Solomon - Patriarch) malak (king) in Yarawashalam (Yarawashalam / Jerusalem) over all Yashar-Al (Israel) arabaiyam (forty) shanah (years).

31 Shalamah (Solomon - Patriarch) shakab (slept) with his ab (father), and he was qabar (grave / tomb / sepulcher) in the iyar (city) of Dawad (David) his ab (father): and Rachabaim (Rehoboam) his ban (son) malak (king) in his place.
