2 Chronicles 9
1 Now when the queen of Sheba heard about the fame of Solomon, she came to test him with difficult questions. She arrived in Jerusalem with a very large caravan—with camels bearing spices, gold in abundance, and precious stones. So she came to Solomon and spoke with him about all that was on her mind.
Kane ruoth madhako mar Sheba owinjo humb Solomon, nobiro Jerusalem mondo ruoth oteme gi penj matek. Nobiro gi ji kod gik moko mangʼeny kaka ngamia motingʼo gik mangʼwe ngʼar, dhahabu mangʼeny, kaachiel gi kite ma nengogi tek. Nobiro ir Solomon ma owuoyo kode kuom gima noparo.
2 And Solomon answered all her questions; nothing was too difficult for him to explain.
Solomon nodwoko penjoge duto maonge matek mane ok onyal dwoke.
3 When the queen of Sheba saw the wisdom of Solomon, the palace he had built,
Kane ruoth madhako mar Sheba oneno rieko Solomon kaachiel kod ode mar dak manosegero,
4 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.
5 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!
6 But I did not believe the reports until I came and saw with my own eyes. Indeed, not half of the greatness of your wisdom was told to me. You have far exceeded the report I heard.
To ne ok ayie gi weche mane giwacho nyaka nabiro maneno gi wangʼa awuon. Adier kata nus mar duongʼ riekoni ne ok onyisa; iriek moloyo humbi manyocha awinjo.
7 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!
8 Blessed be the LORD your God, who has delighted in you to set you on His throne to be king for the LORD your God. Because your God loved Israel enough to establish them forever, He has made you king over them to carry out justice and righteousness.”
Pak odogne Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachi mosebedo mamor kodi moketi e kom lochne kaka ruoth mondo itine Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachi. Nikech hera ma Nyasachi oherogo Israel to gi dwarone mondo oritgi nyaka chiengʼ omiyo oseketi ruodhgi mondo ingʼad bura makare.”
9 Then she gave the king 120 talents of gold, a great quantity of spices, and precious stones. There had never been such spices 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 pok obetie gik mangʼeny mangʼwe ngʼar marom gi mago mane Ruoth madhako mar Sheba omiyo Ruoth Solomon.
10 (The servants of Hiram and of Solomon who brought gold from Ophir also brought algum wood and precious stones.
(Jo-Hiram kod jo-Solomon nokelo dhahabu moa Ofir bende negikelo yiend Algumo kod kite ma nengogi tek.
11 The king made the algum 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 anything like them been seen in the land of Judah.)
Ruoth notiyo gi yiend Algumo kuom loso raidhi mag hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye kaachiel gi ode mar loch bende notiyo kodgi kuom loso nyatiti kod orutu ni jothum. Yien machalo kama ne pod ok one e piny Juda nyaka nene.)
12 King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba all she desired—whatever she asked—far more than she had brought the king. 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; kendo nomiye gik moko mangʼeny moloyo gik mane okelone. Eka nowuok mi odok e pinye kaachiel gi jotije.
13 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,
14 not including the revenue from the merchants and traders. And all the Arabian kings and governors of the land also brought gold and silver to Solomon.
ka ok okwan mago mag osuch jo-ohala gi johono. To ruodhi mag piny Arabu kod jotend piny bende nokelone Solomon dhahabu kod fedha.
15 King Solomon made two hundred large shields of hammered gold; six hundred shekels of hammered 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.
16 He also made three hundred small shields of hammered gold; three hundred shekels 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 adek gi nus. Magi duto ruoth noketo e ode manogero e Bungu mag Lebanon.
17 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.
18 The throne had six steps, and a footstool of gold was attached to it. 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 gi raten tielo mar dhahabu mane ochuog kuome. Bethene ariyo ne nigi bede miyienge bat, ka kido mar sibuor molosi ochungʼ e bath moro ka moro.
19 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.
20 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.
21 For the king had the ships of Tarshish that went with Hiram’s servants, 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 mane jo-Hiram kwangʼ-go. Dichiel bangʼ higni adek ka higni adek negidwogo ka gitingʼo dhahabu gi fedha gi leke liech gi ongʼeche kod bimbe.
22 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.
23 All the kings of the earth sought an audience with Solomon to hear the wisdom that God had put in his heart.
Ruodhi duto mag pinje ne biro ir Solomon mondo oyud rieko mane Nyasaye oketo e chunye.
24 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.
25 Solomon had 4,000 stalls for horses and chariots, and 12,000 horses, which he stationed in the chariot cities and also with him in Jerusalem.
Solomon ne nigi udi alufu angʼwen mag farese kod geche lweny kaachiel gi farese alufu apar gariyo manokano e mier madongo mag geche lweny to moko bende ne en-go Jerusalem.
26 He reigned over all the kings from the Euphrates to the land of the Philistines, as far as the border of Egypt.
Norito ruodhi manie bwo lochne chakre Aora Yufrate nyaka e piny jo-Filistia nyaka chop e giko tongʼ gi kod Misri.
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 from all the lands.
Solomon nokelo farese koa Misri kod pinje mamoko duto.
29 As for the rest of the acts of Solomon, from beginning to end, are they not written in the Records of Nathan the Prophet, in the Prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the Visions of Iddo the Seer concerning Jeroboam son of Nebat?
Weche moko duto mag loch Solomon, chakruokgi nyaka gikogi, donge ondikgi e kitabu mar Nathan janabi, e kitabu motingʼo weche Ahija ja-Shilo kod e kitap Ido janeno manofwenyorene kuom Jeroboam wuod Nebat?
30 Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years.
Solomon nobedo ruodh jo-Israel duto ka en Jerusalem kuom higni piero angʼwen.
31 And Solomon rested with his fathers and was buried in the city of his father David. And his son Rehoboam reigned in his place.
Eka notho moyweyo gi kwerene mi noyike e dala Daudi wuon-gi. Rehoboam wuode nobedo ruoth kare.
