1 Siba sogega uda hina bagade da Soloumane ea gasa bagade hou nababeba: le, e da Yelusaleme moilai bai bagadega ema gasa bagadewane adoba: musa: misi.
The queen [who ruled the] Sheba [area] heard that Yahweh had caused Solomon to become famous, so she traveled to Jerusalem to ask him questions that were difficult [to answer].
2 E da ea fidisu dunu amola uda bagohame oule misi. Amola ga: mele amo da: iya da hedama: ne fodole nasu amola nina: hamomusa: noga: idafa igi amola gouli bagadedafa, amo e da oule misi. E da Soloumanema gousa: beba: le, e da ea asigi dawa: su defele, Soloumanema bagadewane adole ba: i.
She came with a large group of wealthy/influential people, and she brought camels that were loaded with spices, and valuable gems, and a lot of gold. When she met Solomon, she asked him questions about all the topics/things in which she was interested.
3 E da amo adole ba: su huluane defele bu adole i. Adole ba: su afaidafa e bu adole imunu hamedei da hamedafa galu.
Solomon answered all her questions. He explained everything that she asked about, even things that were very difficult.
4 Siba sogega uda hina bagade da Soloumane ea bagade dawa: su nabi. E da hina bagade diasu ea gagui liligi, amo ba: i dagoi.
The queen realized that Solomon was very wise. She saw his palace;
5 E da ha: i manu amo hina bagade diasu ea esalebe dunu ilia da nasu amola Soloumane ea eagene ouligisu dunu ilia diasu amola ea hawa: hamosu dunu ilia hamobe amola ilia afaididi salasu abula amola hawa: hamosu dunu amo da ea lolo nabe ganodini e fidi amola gobele salasu hou e da Debolo Diasuga hamoi, amo huluane ba: beba: le, Siba uda hina da baligili fofogadigi.
she saw the food that was served on his table [every day]; she saw where his officials lived (OR, how his officials were seated at the table), their uniforms, the servants who served the food and wine, and the sacrifices that he took to the temple to be offered. She was extremely amazed.
6 E da hina bagade Soloumanema amane sia: i, “Na sogega esaloba, na da dia hou amola bagade dawa: su hou nabi dagoi. Na da wali ba: sa-amo huluane da dafawanedafa.
She said to King Solomon, “Everything that I heard in my own country about you and about how wise you are is true!
7 Be amo na da dafawaneyale hame dawa: beba: le, na da nisu amo ba: musa: , guiguda: misunusa: dawa: i. Be dia hou la: idi fonobahadi fawane na da nabi. Dia bagade dawa: su amola gaguiwane hou da nama adoi amo bagade baligisa.
But I did not believe it was true until I came here and saw it myself. But really, what they told me is only half [of what they could have told me about you]. You are extremely wise and rich, more than what people told me.
8 Dia uda ilia da hahawane bagade esala. Amola dia hawa: hamosu dunu da eso huluane dili esalebeba: le amola dia sia: nabalebeba: le, ilia amola da hahawane bagade.
Your wives are very fortunate! Your officials who are constantly standing in front of you and listening to the wise things that you say are also fortunate!
9 Dia Hina Godema nodoma! E da Dima hahawane bagade hou amo olelema: ne, di Isala: ili fi amo ouligima: ne ilegei. E da Isala: ili fi ilima eso huluane mae fisili asigimuba: le, e da di Ea sema noga: le ouligima: ne amola Isala: ili molole ouligima: ne, ilegei dagoi.”
Praise Yahweh, your God, who has shown that he is pleased with you by causing you to become the king of Israel! God has always loved the Israeli people, and therefore he has appointed you to be their king, in order that you will rule them fairly and righteously.”
10 Siba sogega uda hina bagade da hina bagade Soloumanema iasu liligi e da gaguli misi, amo ema i. Amo da gouli defei ‘dane’ biyaduyale gadenei amola hedama: ne fodole nasu amola nina: hamosu noga: idafa igi bagohame. Hedama: ne fodole nasu amo e da ema i da, eno dunu musa: ema iasu amo bagadewane baligi.
Then the queen gave to the king [the things that she had brought. She gave him] almost five tons of gold and a large amount of spices and valuable gems. Never again did King Solomon receive more spices than the queen gave him at that time.
11 (Haila: me ea dusagai gilisi da Oufe sogega gouli bagade gaguli misi. Amola ilia da amoga ‘yunibe’ ifa amola nina: hamosu igi bagohamedafa gaguli misi.
In the ships that belonged to King Hiram, in which they had previously brought gold from Ophir, they also brought a large amount of juniper wood and gems/valuable stones.
12 Soloumane da amo ‘yunibe’ ifa bouma: ne fele salasu Debolo diasu ganodini hahamoi. Amola amoga e da sani baidama amola ‘laia’ amo gesami hea: su dunu fidima: ne hahamoi. Amo ‘yunibe’ ifa da noga: idafa. Dunu da musa: agoai liligi Isala: ili amoga hame gaguli misi. Amola fa: no, agoai liligi da Isala: ili sogega hamedafa ba: i.)
King Solomon told his workers to use that wood to make railings/supports in the temple of Yahweh and in the king’s palace and also to make harps and lyres for the (musicians/men who played musical instruments). That wood was the largest amount of (OR, the finest) wood that had ever been seen [in Israel]. And no one since then has ever seen so much wood of that kind.
13 Hina bagade Soloumane da Siba soge uda hina bagade ema ea adole ba: i liligi huluane ema i. Amola ea hou da sofe misi dunu huluane ilima bagade udigili hahawane iasu ianu. Amo huluane defele e da Siba hina bagade udama i. Amalalu, uda hina bagade amola ea hawa: hamosu dunu da Siba sogega buhagi.
King Solomon gave to the queen from Sheba everything that she wanted. He gave her those gifts in addition to the gifts that he always gave [to other rulers who visited him]. Then she and the people who came with her returned to her own land.
14 Ode huluane hina bagade Soloumane da gouli defei 20 ‘dane’ gadenene lasu.
Each year there was brought to Solomon a total of 25 tons of gold.
15 Amola e da bidi lasu ouligisu dunugili su (‘da: gisi’) lai. E da bidi lasu hou hamobeba: le eno baligili gale lai. Amola e da Ala: ibia hina bagade ilima su lai, amola Isala: ili gilisisu soge bai ouligisu dunuma su lai.
That was in addition to [the taxes] paid to him by the merchants and traders, and the annual taxes paid by the kings of Arabia and by the governors of [the regions in] Israel.
16 Soloumane da sia: beba: le, ilia da da: igene ga: su bagade 200 agoane hahamoi. Amo afae afaega ilia da gouli defei 6 gilougala: me agoane amoga dedebole legele gagai.
King Solomon’s workers [took this] gold and hammered it into thin sheets and covered 200 large shields with those thin sheets of gold; they put (almost 15 pounds/more than 6 kg.) of gold on each shield.
17 Amolawane, e da da: igene ga: su fonobahadi 300 agoane hamone, ilima gouli defei 2 gilougala: me gadenene, amoga dedebole legele gagai. Ea sia: beba: le, ilia da amo da: igene ga: su huluane Lebanone Iwila Sesei amo ganodini sali.
His workers made 300 smaller shields. They covered each of them with (almost 4 pounds/1.5 kg.) of gold. Then the king put those shields in the Hall of the Forest of Lebanon.
18 Amolawane, ea hamoma: ne sia: beba: le, ilia da fisu bagadedafa hamoi. Amo fisu la: ididili da ‘aifoli’ amoga dedeboi amola eno la: idi da gouli noga: idafa amoga dedeboi.
His workers also made for him a large throne. [Part of it was] covered with (ivory [decorations made from)] tusks of elephants and [part of it was covered] with very fine gold.
There were six steps in front of the throne. There was a statue of a lion on both sides of each step. So altogether there were twelve statues of lions. The back of the throne was rounded at the top. At each side of the throne there was an armrest, and alongside each armrest there was a small statue of a lion. No throne like that had ever existed in any other kingdom.
20 Amo fisu da: iya heda: su fofa: gui da gafeyale ba: i. Fa: gu afae afae amo ea bidiga huluane da laione wa: me agoaila dedenesisi ba: i. Amo gilisili da laione agoaila fagoyale galu ba: i.

21 Soloumane ea hano nasu faigelei huluane da gouligamusu hahamoi. Amola gobele nasu liligi amola gasa: le nasu liligi huluane Lebanone Iwila Sesei amo ganodini dialu da gouligamusu hahamoi. Liligi afae da silifaga hame hahamoi. Bai Soloumane ea esalebe eso amoga, ilia da silifa bagade hame hanai galu.
All of Solomon’s cups were made of gold, and all the various dishes in the Hall of the Forest of Lebanon were made of gold. They did not make things from silver, because during the years that Solomon [ruled], silver was not considered to be valuable.
22 Soloumane da dusagane gagai gilisisu amo da gilisili Haila: me ea dusagane gagai gilisisu, hano wayabo bagade ahoanu. Ode udiana gidigili, ea dusagane gagai gilisisu da gouli, silifa, ‘aifoli’ amola ‘magi’ ohe gaguiwane, ema buhagisu.
The king had a (fleet/large number) of ships that sailed with the ships that King Hiram owned. Every three years the ships returned [from the places to which they had sailed], bringing gold, silver, ivory, monkeys, and baboons (OR, peacocks).
23 Hina bagade Soloumane ea bagade dawa: su hou amola bagade gagui hou da osobo bagadega hina bagade huluane ilia hou baligi dagoi ba: i.
King Solomon became richer and wiser than any other king.
24 Amola fifi asi gala huluane da bagade dawa: su amo Gode da ema i, amo nabimusa: , ema misunu hanai galu.
People from all over the world wanted to come and listen to the wise things that Solomon said, things that God had put into his mind.
25 Ode huluane mae fisili, ilia da e ba: la momafulalu, bidi gagulimusu masu. Ilia da silifa, gouli, abula, gegesu liligi, hedama: ne fodole nasu, hosi amola ‘miule’ amo gagaguli mafia: su.
All the people who came to him brought presents: They brought things made from silver or gold, or robes, or weapons (OR, myrrh), or spices, or horses, or mules. The people continued to do this every year.
26 Soloumane da gegemusa: gini, sa: liode 1,400 agoane amola dadi gagui dunu fila heda: ma: ne hosi 12,000 agoane gagadoi. Mogili e da Yelusaleme moilai bai bagadega dialoma: ne yolesi. Amola mogili e da moilai oda enoienoi amoga dialoma: ne yolesisi.
Solomon acquired 1,400 chariots and 12,000 men who rode [on the horses] (OR, [in the chariots]). Solomon put some of them in Jerusalem and some of them in other cities where he kept his chariots.
27 Soloumane ea ouligibi ganodini, silifa da Yelusaleme moilai bai bagade ganodini bagadewane dialebeba: le, udigili gele agoai diafulubi ba: i. Amola dolo ifa da gilisidafaba: le, ‘sigamo’ udigili ifa Yuda agolo sogega lelefulubi ilia idi defele agoai ba: i.
During the years that Solomon was king, silver became as common in Jerusalem as stones; and [lumber from] cedar trees in the foothills of Judah was as plentiful as [lumber from] fig trees.
28 Hina bagade ea bidi lasu ouligisu dunu da Musa: li amola Silisia soge amoga hosi bidi lale, Isala: ili sogega oule misi.
Solomon’s agents bought horses and supervised the men who brought them into Israel from the areas of Musri and Cilicia [that were famous for breeding horses].
29 Amola ilia da ‘sa: liode’ amo Idibidi sogega bidi lai. Ilia da Hidaide amola Silia hina bagade ilima hosi amola ‘sa: liode’ bidiga lama: ne legei. Bidi lasu defei da ‘sa: liode’ afae silifa fofaga: i 600 agoane amola hosi afae da silifa fofaga: i 150 agoane.
In Musri they bought chariots and horses; they paid 600 pieces of silver for each chariot and 150 pieces of silver for each horse. They brought them to Israel. Then they sold many of them to the kings of the Heth people-group and the kings of Syria.
