1 Kings 10
1 Now when the queen of Sheba heard about the fame of Solomon concerning the name of the LORD, she came to test him with difficult questions.
Kane ruoth madhako mar Sheba owinjo humb Solomon kod winjruok manie kinde gi nying Jehova Nyasaye, nobiro mondo oteme gi penjo matek.
2 She arrived in Jerusalem with a very large caravan—with camels bearing spices, gold in great abundance, and precious stones. So she came to Solomon and spoke to him all that was on her mind.
Kane ochopo Jerusalem gi oganda maduongʼ, ngamia motingʼo gik mangʼwe ngʼar, dhahabu mogundho kod kite mabeyo ma nengogi tek nobiro ir Solomon kendo owuoyo kode kuom gik moko duto mane nitie e pache.
3 And Solomon answered all her questions; nothing was too difficult for the king to explain.
Solomon nodwoko penjone duto; nimar onge gima ne tek mane ruoth ok nyal lerone.
4 When the queen of Sheba saw all the wisdom of Solomon, the palace he had built,
Kane ruoth madhako mar Sheba oneno rieko duto mag Solomon kod ode mar dak, manosegero,
5 the food at his table, the seating of his servants, the service and attire of his attendants and cupbearers, and the burnt offerings he presented at the house of the LORD, it took her breath away.
gi chiemo mane ni e mesane, gi bet mar jodonge, gi rwakruok mar jotije mapogo chiemo, gi rwakruok mar jotije machiwo divai kod misango miwangʼo pep mane otimo e hekalu Jehova Nyasaye, dhoge nomoko.
6 She said to the king, “The report I heard in my own country about your words and wisdom is true.
Nowachone ruoth niya, “Kare humb timbeni kod riekoni mane awinjo e pinya awuon en adier.
7 But I did not believe these things until I came and saw with my own eyes. Indeed, not even half was told to me. Your wisdom and prosperity have far exceeded the report I heard.
To ne ok ayie gigo mane giwacho nyaka nabiro maneno gi wangʼa awuon. Adier kata mana nus wechego ne ok onyisa; kuom rieko gi mwandu iloyo weche ma asewinjo.
8 How blessed are your men! How blessed are these servants of yours who stand continually before you and hear your wisdom!
Mano kaka jogi mor manade! En mor manade ne jotendi mosiko kachungʼ e nyimi kendo winjo riekoni!
9 Blessed be the LORD your God, who has delighted in you to set you on the throne of Israel. Because of the LORD’s eternal love for Israel, He has made you king to carry out justice and righteousness.”
Pak odogne Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachi mosebedo mamor kodi moketi e kom loch mar Israel. Nikech hera mosiko mar Jehova Nyasaye ni jo-Israel oseketi ruoth mondo irit bura kendo ingʼade gadiera kod tim makare.”
10 Then she gave the king 120 talents of gold, a great quantity of spices, and precious stones. Never again was such an abundance of spices brought in as those the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.
Eka nomiyo ruoth dhahabu ma pekne romo kilo alufu angʼwen mia abich, gi gik mangʼeny mangʼwe ngʼar kaachiel gi kite ma nengogi tek. Ne ok ochak okel kendo gik mangʼeny mangʼwe ngʼar marom gi mago mane ruoth madhako mar Sheba nomiyo Ruoth Solomon.
11 (The fleet of Hiram that brought gold from Ophir also brought from Ophir a great cargo of almug wood and precious stones.
Yiedhi mag Hiram nokelo dhahabu moa Ofir kendo negikelo koa kuro yiedhi madongo mag yiend almugo mangʼeny gi kite ma nengogi tek.
12 The king made the almug wood into steps for the house of the LORD and for the king’s palace, and into lyres and harps for the singers. Never before had such almug wood been brought in, nor has such been seen to this day.)
Ruoth notiyo gi yiend almugo mondo olosgo sirni mag hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye kod od ruoth kendo mondo olosgo thumbe nyatiti gi orutu ni jower. Nyaka chakre ndalono ok osekelie kata nenoe yiend almugo mangʼeny marom gi mago.
13 King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba all she desired—whatever she asked—besides what he had given her out of his royal bounty. Then she left and returned to her own country, along with her servants.
Ruoth Solomon nomiyo ruoth madhako mar Sheba gik moko duto mane chunye dwaro kendo mane okwayo, ewi gigo duto mane osemiye mag keno mar ruoth. Eka nowuok mi odok e pinye kaachiel gi jotije.
14 The weight of gold that came to Solomon each year was 666 talents,
Pek dhahabu mane Solomon yudo higa ka higa ne nyalo romo kilo alufu piero ariyo gabich,
15 not including the revenue from the merchants, traders, and all the Arabian kings and governors of the land.
ka ok okwan osuru misolo kuom jo-ohala kod joyiedhi madongo mag ruodhi duto mag Arabia kod jotend piny.
16 King Solomon made two hundred large shields of hammered gold; six hundred shekels of gold went into each shield.
Ruoth Solomon nochwogo kuodi madongo mia ariyo mag dhahabu kendo kuot ka kuot nochwog gi dhahabu ma pekne romo kilo adek gi nus.
17 He also made three hundred small shields of hammered gold; three minas of gold went into each shield. And the king put them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon.
Bende nochwogo okumbni matindo mia adek mobaw gi dhahabu, okumba ka okumba nobaw gi dhahabu ma pekne romo kilo ariyo. Magi duto ruoth noketo e ode manogero e Bungu mag Lebanon.
18 Additionally, the king made a great throne of ivory and overlaid it with pure gold.
Eka ruoth noloso kom loch maduongʼ ma iye obaw gi lak liech kendo ngʼeye obaw gi dhahabu mopwodhi.
19 The throne had six steps, and its back had a rounded top. There were armrests on both sides of the seat, with a lion standing beside each armrest.
Kom duongʼno ne nigi raidhi mag kuonde minyono auchiel kendo yo kangʼeye ne nigi wich molworore. Bethene ariyo ne nigi bede miyienge bat, ka kido mar sibuor molosi ochungʼ e bath moro ka moro.
20 Twelve lions stood on the six steps, one at either end of each step. Nothing like this had ever been made for any kingdom.
Kido mar sibuoche apar gariyo nochungi e kuonde auchiel minyono kiidho kidhi e kom duongʼ ka moro ka moro ochungi e giko raidh auchiel koni gi koni. Onge pinyruoth moro amora manoseloso kom ruoth machalo kama.
21 All King Solomon’s drinking cups were gold, and all the utensils of the House of the Forest of Lebanon were pure gold. There was no silver, because it was accounted as nothing in the days of Solomon.
Kikombe duto mag Ruoth Solomon nolos gi dhahabu, kod gige ot duto mokonyorego e ode mane ni e Bungu mag Lebanon nolos gi dhahabu mopwodhi. Onge gima nolos gi fedha nikech fedha nokaw ni nengone yot e kinde Solomon.
22 For the king had the ships of Tarshish at sea with Hiram’s fleet, and once every three years the ships of Tarshish would arrive bearing gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks.
Ruoth ne nigi yiedhi mangʼeny mag ohala e nam kaachiel gi yiedhi mag jo-Hiram. Dichiel bangʼ higni adek ka higni adek negidwogo ka gitingʼo dhahabu gi fedha gi leke liech gi ongʼeche kod bimbe.
23 So King Solomon surpassed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.
Ruoth Solomon ne nigi mwandu mangʼeny kod rieko moloyo ruodhi mamoko duto mag piny.
24 The whole world sought an audience with Solomon to hear the wisdom that God had put in his heart.
Pinje duto ne biro ir Solomon mondo oyud rieko mane Nyasaye oketo e chunye.
25 Year after year, each visitor would bring his tribute: articles of silver and gold, clothing, weapons, spices, horses, and mules.
Higa ka higa ngʼato ka ngʼato manobiro nokelo mich kaka gik molos gi fedha kod dhahabu, kandho, gige lweny, gik mangʼwe ngʼar, farese kod punde.
26 Solomon accumulated 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horses, which he stationed in the chariot cities and also with him in Jerusalem.
Solomon nongʼiewo geche mag lweny kod farese; ne en gi geche mag lweny alufu achiel mia angʼwen kod farese alufu apar gariyo mane oketo e mier madongo mag geche lweny to moko bende noketo Jerusalem kama nodake.
27 The king made silver as common in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar as abundant as sycamore in the foothills.
Ruoth nomiyo fedha obedo manwangʼo yot ka kidi akida Jerusalem kendo yiend sida ne ngʼeny mana ka yiend ngʼowu ma otwi e got.
28 Solomon’s horses were imported from Egypt and Kue; the royal merchants purchased them from Kue.
Solomon nokelo farese koa Misri kod e piny miluongo ni Kue, johala mag ruoth nongʼiewogi e piny Kue.
29 A chariot could be imported from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty. Likewise, they exported them to all the kings of the Hittites and to the kings of Aram.
Negingʼiewo gach lweny koa Misri e nengo mar kilo abiriyo mar fedha kendo Faras achiel e nengo maromo kilo ariyo mar fedha. Bende ne giusogi ni ruodhi duto mag jo-Hiti gi jo-Aram.
