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.
Mootittiin Shebaa waaʼee maqaa Solomooniitii fi ulfina inni maqaa Waaqayyootiif qabuu dhageenyaan gaaffiiwwan jajjaboodhaan qortee isa ilaaluuf gara Solomoon dhufte.
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.
Isheenis miiltoo akka malee baayʼee wajjin gaalawwan urgooftuu, warqee hedduu fi dhagaawwan gati jabeeyyii baatan fudhattee Yerusaalem dhufte; Solomoon bira geenyaanis waan garaa ishee jiru hunda isa wajjin haasofte.
3 And Solomon answered all her questions; nothing was too difficult for the king to explain.
Solomoonis gaaffii ishee hundaaf deebii kenne; wanni mootichi isheef ibsuu dadhabe tokko iyyuu hin turre.
4 When the queen of Sheba saw all the wisdom of Solomon, the palace he had built,
Mootittiin Shebaa yommuu ogummaa Solomoon, masaraa mootummaa kan inni ijaare,
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.
nyaata maaddii isaa irratti dhiʼaatu, haala itti qondaaltonni isaa tataaʼan, hojjettoota uffata hojii uffatanii hojjetan, warra daadhii isaaf dhiʼeessanii fi aarsaa gubamu kan inni mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessatti dhiʼeesse argitetti akka malee dinqisiifatte.
6 She said to the king, “The report I heard in my own country about your words and wisdom is true.
Isheenis mootichaan akkana jette; “Oduun ani waaʼee waan ati hojjetteetii fi waaʼee ogummaa keetii biyyuma kootti dhagaʼe sun dhugaa dha.
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.
Ani garuu hamman dhufee ijuma kootiin argutti wantoota kanneen hin amanne. Dhugumaan walakkaan isaa iyyuu natti hin himamne; ati ogummaa fi badhaadhummaadhaan oduu ani dhagaʼe sana akka malee caalta.
8 How blessed are your men! How blessed are these servants of yours who stand continually before you and hear your wisdom!
Namoonni kee hammam haa gammadan! Qondaaltonni kee warri yeroo hunda fuula kee dura dhadhaabatanii ogummaa kee dhagaʼan hammam haa gammadan!
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.”
Waaqayyo Waaqni kee inni sitti gammadee teessoo Israaʼel irra si teessise sun haa galateeffamu. Waaqayyo sababii Israaʼeliif jaalala bara baraa qabuuf akka ati murtii qajeelaa fi qajeelummaa eegduuf mootii si godheera.”
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.
Isheenis warqee taalaantii 120, urgooftuu akka malee baayʼee fi dhagaawwan gati jabeeyyii mootichaaf kennite. Urgooftuun akka urgooftuu mootittiin Shebaa Solomoon Mootichaaf kennite sanaa baayʼatu gonkumaa ergasii hin fidamne.
11 (The fleet of Hiram that brought gold from Ophir also brought from Ophir a great cargo of almug wood and precious stones.
Dooniiwwan Hiiraam biyya Oofiir irraa warqee fidan; isaanis feʼiisa muka sandaliitii fi dhagaawwan gati jabeeyyii baayʼee achii ni fidan.
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.)
Mootichis muka sandalii sana utubaa mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootii fi kan masaraa mootummaa akkasumas baganaa fi kiraara faarfattootaa tolchuuf itti fayyadame. Mukni sandalii kan akkas baayʼatu ergasii hamma harʼaatti takkumaa alaa hin fidamne yookaan hin argamne.
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.
Solomoon Mootichis waan qabeenya mootummaa ofii isaa keessaa kenneef irratti dabalee waan isheen barbaaddee fi waan isheen kadhatte hunda mootittii Shebaatiif ni kenne. Isheenis ergasii kaatee miiltota ishee wajjin biyya ofii isheetti deebite.
14 The weight of gold that came to Solomon each year was 666 talents,
Ulfinni warqee kan wagguma waggaan Solomooniif galu taalaantii 666 ture;
15 not including the revenue from the merchants, traders, and all the Arabian kings and governors of the land.
kunis gibira daldaltoota qabeenya gurguddaatii fi xixinnaa irraa argamuu fi galii inni mootota biyya Arabaa hundaa fi bulchitoota biyya keessaa irraa argatu hin dabalatu.
16 King Solomon made two hundred large shields of hammered gold; six hundred shekels of gold went into each shield.
Solomoon Mootichis warqee tumame irraa gaachanawwan gurguddaa dhibba lama ni tolche; tokkoon tokkoon gaachanawwan sanaas warqee saqilii dhibba jaʼa fixe.
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.
Akkasumas warqee tumame irraa gaachana xixinnaa dhibba sadii ni tolche; tokkoon tokkoon gaachana sanaas warqee minnaanii dhibba sadii fixe. Mootichis gaachanawwan kanneen masaraa mootummaa kan Bosona Libaanoon keessa ni kaaʼe.
18 Additionally, the king made a great throne of ivory and overlaid it with pure gold.
Mootichis teessoo guddaa tokko ilka arbaa irraa hojjetee warqee qulqulluu itti uffise.
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.
Teessoon sun gulantaawwan jaʼa qaba ture; karaa dugda duubaatiin fiixee geengoo tokko qaba. Karaa teessoo sanaa lamaaniinis waan harka irra kaaʼatanitu ture; tokkoo tokkoo waan harka irra kaaʼatan sanaa biras fakkii leencaa tokko tokkotu dhaabatee ture.
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.
Gulantaawwan jaʼaan sana irras leenconni kudha lama tokko fiixee tokkoon, fakkiin kaan immoo fiixee kaaniin dhadhaabachaa turan. Wanni akkasii takkumaa mootummaa biraa kamiif iyyuu hin tolfamne.
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.
Miʼi Solomoon Mootichi ittiin dhugu hundinuu warqee irraa hojjetame; miʼi masaraa mootummaa kan Bosona Libaanoon jedhamu sanaa hundi immoo warqee qulqulluu irraa hojjetame. Sababii bara Solomoon keessa meetiin akka waan gatii hin qabne tokkootti ilaalamaa tureef wanni tokko iyyuu meetii irraa hin hojjetamne.
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.
Mootichis dooniiwwan Hiiraam gidduudhaa dooniiwwan daldalaa galaana irraa qaba ture. Isaanis waggaa sadii sadiitti yeroo tokko warqee, meetii fi ilka arbaa, qamalee fi jaldeessa fidanii ni dhufu ture.
23 So King Solomon surpassed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.
Solomoon Mootichi badhaadhummaa fi ogummaadhaan mootota addunyaa hunda ni caala ture.
24 The whole world sought an audience with Solomon to hear the wisdom that God had put in his heart.
Addunyaan hundinuu ogummaa Waaqni garaa isaa keessa kaaʼe dhagaʼuuf Solomoon bira dhufuu barbaada ture.
25 Year after year, each visitor would bring his tribute: articles of silver and gold, clothing, weapons, spices, horses, and mules.
Namni waggaa waggaatti isa bira dhufu hundinuu kennaa miʼa meetii fi kan warqee, uffata, miʼa lolaa, urgooftuu, fardeenii fi gaangolii fidaafii ture.
26 Solomon accumulated 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horses, which he stationed in the chariot cities and also with him in Jerusalem.
Solomoonis gaariiwwanii fi fardeen walitti ni kuufate; innis gaariiwwan kuma tokkoo fi dhibba afurii fi fardeen kuma kudha lama qaba ture; isaan kanneenis magaalaawwan gaariiwwanii keessaa fi Yerusaalem keessa of bira ni kaaʼate.
27 The king made silver as common in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar as abundant as sycamore in the foothills.
Mootichi akka meetiin Yerusaalem keessatti akkuma dhagaa baayʼatu, akka mukni birbirsaas akkuma mukkeen harbuu kanneen gaarran jalaatti baayʼatu godhe.
28 Solomon’s horses were imported from Egypt and Kue; the royal merchants purchased them from Kue.
Fardeen Solomoon Gibxii fi Qaweedhaa fidaman; daldaltoota mootummaatu Qaweedhaa gatii yerootiin isaan bite.
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.
Isaanis gaarii tokko meetii saqilii dhibba jaʼaan, farda immoo meetii saqilii dhibba tokkoo fi shantamaan Gibxii bitanii fidan. Akkasumas gaariiwwanii fi fardeen kanneen erganii mootota Heetotaatii fi mootota Sooriyaa hundatti gurguru turan.
