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.
Idi nadamag ti reyna iti Seba ti kinalatak ni Solomon, napan isuna idiay Jerusalem tapno suotenna isuna babaen kadagiti naririgat a saludsod. Napan isuna a nangikuyog iti adu nga adipen, agraman kadagiti kamelio a nakargaan kadagiti rekrekado, adu a balitok, ken adu a napapateg a bato. Idi dimteng isuna iti ayan ni Solomon, imbagana kenkuana dagiti amin nga adda iti pusona.
2 And Solomon answered all her questions; nothing was too difficult for him to explain.
Sinungbatan ni Solomon dagiti amin a saludsodna; awan ti narigat unay kenni Solomon; awan ti saludsod a saanna a nasungbatan.
3 When the queen of Sheba saw the wisdom of Solomon, the palace he had built,
Idi nakita ti reyna ti Seba ti kinasirib ni Solomon ken ti palasio a binangonna,
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.
ti makan iti lamisaanna, ti pagnanaedan dagiti adipenna, ti trabaho dagiti adipenna ken ti pagan-anayda, kasta met dagiti para-idasarna iti arak ken dagiti pagan-anayda, ken ti wagas iti panangidatonna iti daton a maipuor iti balay ni Yahweh, nasdaaw iti kasta unay isuna.
5 She said to the king, “The report I heard in my own country about your words and wisdom is true.
Kinunana iti ari, “Pudno, ti nadamagko iti bukodko a daga maipapan kadagiti sasaom ken iti kinasiribmo.
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.
Saanko a pinati dagiti nadamagko agingga a dimtengak ditoy, ket ita, nakitak daytoy. Awan pay kagudua ti naibaga kaniak maipapan iti kinasirib ken kinabaknangmo! Nalatlatakka nga adayu ngem iti mangmangngegko.
7 How blessed are your men! How blessed are these servants of yours who stand continually before you and hear your wisdom!
Anian a nagasat dagiti tattaom, ken anian a nagasat dagiti adipenmo a kankanayon a nakatakder iti sangoanam, gapu ta mangmangngegda ti kinasiribmo.
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.”
Madaydayaw koma ni Yahweh a Diosmo, a naay-ayo kenka, a nangisaad kenka iti tronona, tapno agbalin nga ari para kenni Yahweh a Diosmo. Gapu ta ay-ayaten ti Diosmo ti Israel, tapno mataginayonda, pinagbalinnaka nga arida, tapno ipatungpalmo ti hustisia ken kinalinteg!”
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.
Inikkanna ti ari iti 120 a talento a balitok ken kadagiti nakaad-adu a rekrekado ken kadagiti napapateg a bato. Awan ti naited kenni Ari Solomon a kas iti kaadu dagitoy a rekrekado nga inted ti reyna ti Seba kenkuana.
10 (The servants of Hiram and of Solomon who brought gold from Ophir also brought algum wood and precious stones.
Nangiyeg pay dagiti adipen ni Hiram ken dagiti adipen ni Solomon a nangiyeg iti balitok manipud iti Ofir kadagiti algum a kayo ken kadagiti napapateg a bato.
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.)
Babaen kadagiti algum a kayo, nangaramid ti ari kadagiti agdan ti balay ni Yahweh ken ti balayna, kasta met kadagiti arpa ken lira nga agpaay kadagiti tumutukar. Awan pay ti kastoy a kayo a nakita iti daga ti Juda.
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.
Inted ni Ari Solomon iti reyna ti Seba ti amin a kinayatna, aniaman a kiniddawna, a kas nayon ti maisukat iti inyegna iti ari. Nagawid ngarud isuna iti bukodna a daga, isuna ken dagiti adipenna.
13 The weight of gold that came to Solomon each year was 666 talents,
Ita, 666 a talento ti kadagsen ti balitok a dimteng kenni Solomon iti maysa a tawen,
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.
malaksid kadagiti balitok nga inyeg dagiti agtagtagilako ken dagiti komersiante. Nangiyeg pay dagiti amin nga ari ti Arabia ken dagiti gobernador iti pagilian kenni Solomon iti balitok ken pirak.
15 King Solomon made two hundred large shields of hammered gold; six hundred shekels of hammered gold went into each shield.
Nagaramid ni Solomon iti dua gasut a dadakkel a kalasag manipud iti napitpit a balitok. Innem a gasut a siklo a balitok ti naikabil iti tunggal maysa.
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.
Nagaramid pay isuna iti tallo gasut a kalasag manipud iti napitpit a balitok. Tallo a minas iti balitok ti naikabil iti tunggal kalasag; inkabil ti ari dagitoy iti uneg ti Palasio iti Kabakiran ti Lebanon.
17 Additionally, the king made a great throne of ivory and overlaid it with pure gold.
Kalpasanna, nangaramid ti ari iti dakkel a trono a marfil sana kinalupkopan daytoy iti puro a balitok.
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.
Adda innem a pangal a mapan iti trono, ken nagbukel ti tuktok ti trono. Adda dagiti pagsadagan ti ima iti tunggal sikigan ti tugaw, ken dua a sinan-leon a nakatakder iti abay dagiti pagsadagan ti ima.
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.
Sangapulo ket dua a sinan-leon ti nakatakder iti innem a pangal, maysa iti tunggal sikigan ti innem a pangal. Awan ti trono a kasla iti daytoy iti uray sadinoman a pagarian.
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.
Balitok amin a kopa ni Ari Solomon, ken puro a balitok dagiti amin a kopa iti Balay iti Kabakiran ti Lebanon. Awan ti naaramid manipud iti pirak gapu ta saan a maibilang a napateg ti pirak kadagiti aldaw ni 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.
Addaan ti ari kadagiti bunggoy dagiti barko nga aglaylayag iti taaw, a makikuykuyog iti bunggoy ti barko ni Hiram. Tunggal tallo a tawen, agisangpet dagiti bunggoy dagiti barko iti balitok, pirak, ken marfil, kasta met kadagiti bakes ken burangen.
22 So King Solomon surpassed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.
Isu nga inartapan ni Ari Solomon dagiti amin nga ari iti lubong iti kinabaknang ken kinasirib.
23 All the kings of the earth sought an audience with Solomon to hear the wisdom that God had put in his heart.
Sapsapulen dagiti amin nga ari iti daga ti presensia ni Solomon tapno dumngegda iti kinasiribna, nga inkabil ti Dios iti pusona.
24 Year after year, each visitor would bring his tribute: articles of silver and gold, clothing, weapons, spices, horses, and mules.
Tinawen nga adda ited a sagut dagiti mangsarungkar kenkuana, dagiti pagkargaan a naaramid manipud iti pirak ken balitok, dagiti pagan-anay, armas, ken dagiti rekrekado, kasta met dagiti kabalio ken mulo.
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.
Addaan ni Ari Solomon iti uppat a ribu a siled para kadagiti kabalio ken karuahe, ken sangapulo ket dua a ribu a lallaki nga agkabkabalio, nga impuestona kadagiti siudad ti karuahe ken agraman iti ayanna idiay Jerusalem.
26 He reigned over all the kings from the Euphrates to the land of the Philistines, as far as the border of Egypt.
Inturayanna amin nga ari manipud iti Karayan Eufrates agingga iti daga dagiti Filisteo, ken agingga iti beddeng ti Egipto.
27 The king made silver as common in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar as abundant as sycamore in the foothills.
Addaan ti ari iti pirak idiay Jerusalem, a kas iti kaadu dagiti bato iti daga. Pinagbalinna dagiti kayo a sedro a kas kawadwad dagiti kayo a sikamoro nga adda kadagiti kapatadan.
28 Solomon’s horses were imported from Egypt and from all the lands.
Nangiyegda kadagiti kabalio kenni Solomon manipud iti Egipto ken kadagiti amin a daga.
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?
No maipapan met kadagiti dadduma a banbanag maipanggep kenni Solomon, manipud panangrugina agingga iti kamaudiananna, saan kadi a naisurat dagitoy iti Pakasaritaan ni Profeta Natan, iti Padto ni Ahija a taga-Silo, ken kadagiti Sirmata ni Iddo a Profeta maipanggep kenni Jeroboam a putot a lalaki ni Nebat?
30 Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years.
Nagturay ni Solomon idiay Jerusalem iti entero nga Israel iti uppat a pulo a tawen.
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.
Pimmusay isuna ket intabon dagiti tattao iti siudad ni David nga amana; ni Rehoboam a putotna a lalaki ti simmukat kenkuana nga ari.
