1 Kings 10
1 Now the queen of Sheba, hearing great things of Solomon, came to put his wisdom to the test with hard questions.
Alò, lè rèn Séba a te tande koze a repitasyon Salomon pa non SENYÈ a, li te vini pou pase l a leprèv avèk kesyon difisil.
2 And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels weighted down with spices, and stores of gold and jewels: and when she came to Solomon she had talk with him of everything in her mind.
Li te vini Jérusalem avèk yon trè gran kantite moun, avèk chamo ki t ap pote epis, anpil lò avèk pyè presye. Lè li te vini kote Salomon, li te pale avèk li selon tout sa ki te nan kè li.
3 And Solomon gave her answers to all her questions; there was no secret which the king did not make clear to her.
Salomon te reponn a tout kesyon li yo; anyen pa t kache a wa a pou l pa t eksplike li.
4 And when the queen of Sheba had seen all the wisdom of Solomon, and the house which he had made,
Lè rèn a Séba te vin konprann tout sajès a Salomon an, kay ke li te bati a,
5 And the food at his table, and all his servants seated there, and those who were waiting on him in their places, and their robes, and his wine-servants, and the burned offerings which he made in the house of the Lord, there was no more spirit in her.
manje sou tab li, kapasite sèvitè li yo, jan moun ki te sèvi tab yo te atantif, jan yo abiye, pòtè tas diven yo, ak eskalye li, kote li te monte rive lakay SENYÈ a, li te vin pa gen kouraj ankò.
6 And she said to the king, The account which was given to me in my country of your acts and your wisdom was true.
Konsa, li te di a wa a: “Rapò ke m te tande soti nan peyi mwen selon pawòl ou avèk sajès ou a te vrè.
7 But I had no faith in what was said about you, till I came and saw for myself; and now I see that it was not half the story; your wisdom and your wealth are much greater than they said.
Men mwen pa t kwè rapò yo jiskaske mwen te rive e zye m te wè li. Epi vwala, yo pa t pale m mwatye verite. Ou depase nan sajès avèk richès rapò ke m te tande a.
8 Happy are your wives, happy are these your servants whose place is ever before you, hearing your words of wisdom.
Jan mesye pa ou yo beni! Beni se sèvitè ki kanpe devan ou yo tout tan pou tande sajès ou.
9 May the Lord your God be praised, whose pleasure it was to put you on the seat of the kingdom of Israel; because the Lord's love for Israel is eternal, he has made you king, to be their judge in righteousness.
Beni se SENYÈ a, Bondye ou a, ki te pran plezi nan ou pou mete ou sou twòn Israël la. Akoz SENYÈ a te renmen Israël pou tout tan, se pou sa Li te fè ou wa, pou fè lajistis avèk ladwati.”
10 And she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and a great store of spices and jewels: never again was such a wealth of spices seen as that which the queen of Sheba gave King Solomon.
Li te bay wa a san-ven talan lò, yon gran kantite epis avèk pyè presye. Fòs kantite epis sa a tankou sa ke rèn Séba a te bay a Wa Salomon an pa t janm antre ankò.
11 And the sea-force of Hiram, in addition to gold from Ophir, came back with much sandal-wood and jewels.
Osi, bato a Hiram ki te pote lò ki sòti Ophir yo, te mennen fè antre soti Ophir yon gran kantite pye bwa koray avèk pyè presye.
12 And from the sandal-wood the king made pillars for the house of the Lord, and for the king's house, and instruments of music for the makers of melody: never has such sandal-wood been seen to this day.
Wa a te fè soutyen lakay SENYÈ a avèk lakay wa a avèk bwa koray yo e osi ap yo avèk gita pou chantè yo. Bwa koray yo tankou sila yo pa t janm antre ankò, ni yo pa t janm wè jis rive jodi a.
13 And King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she made request for, in addition to what he gave her freely from the impulse of his heart. So she went back to her country, she and her servants.
Wa Salomon te bay a rèn Séba tout sa ke li te dezire, tout sa ke li te mande, anplis de sa li te ba li selon bonte wayal li. Konsa, li te vire retounen nan pwòp peyi pa li a, ansanm avèk sèvitè pa li yo.
14 Now the weight of gold which came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents;
Alò, pwa lò a ki te antre pou Salomon nan yon ane se te sis-san-swasann-sis talan lò,
15 In addition to what came to him from the business of the traders, and from all the kings of the Arabians, and from the rulers of the country.
anplis de sa ki te sòti nan machann avèk byen a tout komèsan yo, tout wa pami Arab yo avèk gouvènè nan chak peyi yo.
16 And Solomon made two hundred body-covers of hammered gold, every one having six hundred shekels of gold in it.
Wa Salomon te fè de-san gran boukliye avèk lò bat avèk sis-san sik lò nan chak gran boukliye.
17 And he made three hundred smaller body-covers of hammered gold, with three pounds of gold in every cover: and the king put them in the house of the Woods of Lebanon.
Avèk twa-san boukliye nan lò bat, ki te sèvi twa min lò sou chak boukliye e wa a te mete yo nan kay Forè Liban an.
18 Then the king made a great ivory seat, plated with the best gold.
Anplis, wa a te fè yon gwo twòn avèk ivwa e li te kouvri li avèk lò rafine.
19 There were six steps going up to it, and the top of it was round at the back, there were arms on the two sides of the seat, and two lions by the side of the arms;
Avèk sis machpye monte pou rive nan twòn nan, e yon tèt won sou twòn nan pa dèyè li, bra yo nan chak kote chèz la, e de lyon ki te kanpe akote bra yo.
20 And twelve lions were placed on the one side and on the other side on the six steps: there was nothing like it in any kingdom.
Douz lyon te kanpe la sou sis machpye yo, sou yon kote e menm jan an sou lòt la. Anyen tankou li pa t fèt nan okenn lòt wayòm.
21 And all King Solomon's drinking-vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the Woods of Lebanon were of the best gold; not one was of silver, for no one gave a thought to silver in the days of King Solomon.
Tout veso a Wa Salomon pou bwè yo te fèt an lò. Tout veso nan kay Forè a Liban yo te an lò pi. Nanpwen ki te an ajan. Sa pa t konsidere kòm bagay chè nan jou a Salomon yo.
22 For the king had Tarshish-ships at sea with the ships of Hiram; once every three years the Tarshish-ships came with gold and silver and ivory and monkeys and peacocks.
Paske wa a te gen sou lanmè a bato a Tarsis avèk bato a Hiram yo. Yon fwa chak twazan bato a Tarsis yo te vini pote lò avèk ajan, ivwa avèk makak ak bèl zwazo pan yo.
23 And King Solomon was greater than all the kings of the earth in wealth and in wisdom.
Konsa, Wa Salomon te vin pi gran ke tout wa sou latè yo nan richès avèk sajès.
24 And from all over the earth they came to see Solomon and to give ear to his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
Tout latè t ap chache prezans a Salomon pou tande sajès li ke Bondye te mete nan kè li.
25 And everyone took with him an offering, vessels of silver and vessels of gold, and robes, and coats of metal, and spices, and horses, and beasts of transport, regularly year by year.
Chak moun te pote kado li, afè an ajan avèk lò, vètman, zam, epis, cheval avèk milèt, an gran kantite ane pa ane.
26 And Solomon got together war-carriages and horsemen; he had one thousand, four hundred carriages and twelve thousand horsemen, whom he kept, some in the carriage-towns and some with the king at Jerusalem.
Alò, Salomon te ranmase cha avèk cheval yo. Li te gen mil-kat-san cha avèk douz-mil chevalye e li te estasyone yo nan vil cha yo avèk wa a nan Jérusalem.
27 And the king made silver as common as stones in Jerusalem and cedars like the sycamore-trees of the lowlands in number.
Wa a te fè ajan vin gaye toupatou tankou wòch Jérusalem. Li te fè sèd yo vin anpil tankou bwa sikomò ki rete nan ba plèn nan.
28 And Solomon's horses came from Egypt and from Kue; the king's traders got them at a price from Kue.
Osi, lè Salomon te enpòte cheval yo, yo te soti an Égypte avèk Kuwe. Machann a wa yo te chache yo soti Kuwe pou yon pri.
29 A war-carriage might be got from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty; they got them at the same rate for all the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Aram.
Yon cha te konn enpòte soti Égypte pou sis-san sik an ajan ak yon cheval pou san-senkant e pa menm mwayen an, yo te ekspòte yo a tout wa Etyen avèk wa Siryen yo.
