and from the middle ofJerusalem from the north thereof to the south and to Western India is theportion of the Emperor of Ethiopia.For both of them are of the seed ofShem, the son of Noah, the seed of Abraham, the seed of David, thechildren of Solomon.For God gave the seed of Shem glory because of theblessing of their father Noah.The Emperor of Rôm is the son of Solomon,and the Emperor of Ethiopia is the firstborn and eldest son of Solomon.21.Concerning the Queen of the SouthAnd how this Queen was born I have discovered written in thatmanuscript, and in this manner also doth the Evangelist mention thatwoman.And our Lord Jesus Christ, in condemning the Jewish people, thecrucifiers, who lived at that time, spake, saying: The Queen of the Southshall rise up on the Day of Judgment and shall dispute with, and condemn,and overcome this generation who would not hearken unto the preachingof My word, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom ofSolomon. 20 And the Queen of the South of whom He spake was theQueen of Ethiopia.And in the words ends of the earth [He makethallusion] to the delicacy of the constitution of women, and the longdistance of the journey, and the burning heat of the sun, and the hunger onthe way, and the thirst for water.And this Queen of the South was verybeautiful in face, and her stature was superb, and her understanding andintelligence, which God had given her, were of such high character that shewent to Jerusalem to hear the wisdom of Solomon; now this was done bythe command of God and it was His good pleasure.And moreover, she20Matthew xii, 42; Luke xi, 31.15 Kebra Nagastwas exceedingly rich, for God had given her glory, and riches, and gold,and silver, and splendid apparel, and camels, and slaves, and trading men(or, merchants).And they carried on her business and trafficked for her bysea and by land, and in India, and in d"Aswân (Syene).22.Concerning Tâmrîn, the MerchantAnd there was a certain wise man, the leader of a merchant s caravan,whose name was Tâmrîn, and he used to load five hundred and twentycamels, and he possessed about three and seventy ships.Now at that time King Solomon wished to build the House of God, andhe sent out messages among all the merchants in the east and in the west,and in the north and in the south, bidding the merchants come and takegold and silver from him, so that he might take from them whatsoever wasnecessary for the work.And certain men reported to him concerning thisrich Ethiopian merchant, and Solomon sent to him a message and told himto bring whatsoever he wished from the country of Arabia, red gold, andblack wood that could not be eaten by worms, and sapphires [ Pobierz caÅ‚ość w formacie PDF ]
