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.
Awo kabaka omukazi ow’e Seeba bwe yawulira ettutumo lya Sulemaani n’okwagala kwe yalina eri Mukama, n’ajja amugezese n’ebibuuzo ebizibu.
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.
Yatuuka mu Yerusaalemi, n’ekibiina ky’abantu ekinene ennyo, n’eŋŋamira ezaali zeetisse ebyakaloosa, ne zaabu ennyingi ennyo, n’amayinja ag’omuwendo. Yanyumya ne Sulemaani ku ebyo byonna ebyali ku mutima gwe.
3 And Solomon gave her answers to all her questions; there was no secret which the king did not make clear to her.
Awo Sulemaani n’addamu ebibuuzo byonna, era tewaali na kimu ku byo ekyamuzibuwalira.
4 And when the queen of Sheba had seen all the wisdom of Solomon, and the house which he had made,
Kabaka omukazi ow’e Seeba bwe yalaba amagezi ga Sulemaani ago gonna, n’olubiri lwe yazimba,
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.
n’emmere eyagabulwanga ku mmeeza ye, n’engeri abakungu be gye baatuuzibwangamu, n’ennyambala y’abaddu be, n’abasenero be, n’ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa bye yawangayo mu yeekaalu ya Mukama, ne yeewunya nnyo.
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.
N’amugamba nti, “Bye nawulira nga ndi mu nsi yange, ku ebyo by’okoze n’amagezi go, bya mazima.
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.
Ssakkiriza bigambo ebyo okutuusa lwe neesitukira ne nzija neerabireko n’agange. Kya mazima ddala nabulirwako kitundu butundu kyokka; kubanga amagezi go, n’obugagga bwo bisinga ku ebyo bye nawulira.
8 Happy are your wives, happy are these your servants whose place is ever before you, hearing your words of wisdom.
Abasajja bo nga beesiimye! N’abakungu abayimirira mu maaso go ne bawulira ebigambo eby’amagezi nga beesiimye!
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.
Yeebazibwe Mukama Katonda wo akusanyukira era akutadde ku ntebe ey’obwakabaka bwa Isirayiri. Olw’okwagala kwa Mukama okutaggwaawo, akufudde kabaka, okukuuma obwenkanya n’obutuukirivu.”
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.
N’agabira kabaka ttani nnya eza zaabu, n’ebyakaloosa bingi nnyo nnyini, n’amayinja ag’omuwendo. Tewaaleetebwa nate byakaloosa byenkana awo obungi ng’ebyo kabaka omukazi ow’e Seeba bye yawa Sulemaani.
11 And the sea-force of Hiram, in addition to gold from Ophir, came back with much sandal-wood and jewels.
(Emmeeri za Kiramu zaaleetanga zaabu okuva e Ofiri, n’emitoogo mingi, era n’amayinja ag’omuwendo.
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.
Kabaka yakozesa emitoogo okukola empagi za yeekaalu ya Mukama Katonda n’ez’olubiri lw’obwakabaka, n’okukola ennanga, n’entongooli z’abayimbi. Tewalabikanga mitoogo mingi bwe gityo n’okutuusa ku lunaku lwa leero.)
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.
Awo kabaka Sulemaani n’awa kabaka omukazi ow’e Seeba byonna bye yayagala ne bye yasaba, obutassaako ebyo Sulemaani bye yamuwa okuva ku byobugagga bw’obwakabaka bwe. Oluvannyuma kabaka omukazi ow’e Seeba n’addayo mu nsi ye n’ekibiina ky’abantu be, be yajja nabo.
14 Now the weight of gold which came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents;
Obuzito obwa zaabu obwaleetebwanga eri Sulemaani buli mwaka bwali ttani amakumi abiri mu ssatu,
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.
nga tobaliddeeko musolo ogwawebwangayo abasuubuzi n’ab’ebyamaguzi, ate era n’ogwasoloozebwanga okuva ku bakabaka Abawalabu bonna ne bagavana.
16 And Solomon made two hundred body-covers of hammered gold, every one having six hundred shekels of gold in it.
Kabaka Sulemaani yaweesa engabo ennene ebikumi bibiri mu zaabu, buli ngabo ng’erimu kilo ssatu n’ekitundu eza zaabu.
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.
Yakola n’engabo entono ebikumi bisatu, nga nazo za zaabu, buli ngabo nga ya kilo emu n’ekitundu eza zaabu. Ezo zonna kabaka yaziterekanga mu lubiri olwazimbibwa mu miti egyava mu kibira kya Lebanooni.
18 Then the king made a great ivory seat, plated with the best gold.
Awo kabaka n’akola entebe ey’obwakabaka ennene ddala nga ya masanga n’agibikkako zaabu ennongoose.
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;
Entebe ey’obwakabaka yalina amadaala mukaaga, waggulu waayo aweesigamwa nga weekulungirivu. Eruuyi n’eruuyi w’entebe waaliyo empologoma nga ziyimiridde ku mabbali g’emikono.
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.
Empologoma kkumi na bbiri zaali ku madaala mukaaga, eruuyi mukaaga n’eruuyi mukaaga. Tewaali ntebe ndala yonna ey’obwakabaka eyali ekoleddwa eri ng’eyo mu bwakabaka obulala bwonna mu biseera ebyo.
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.
Ebikompe byonna ebya kabaka Sulemaani byali bya zaabu, ne byonna ebyali mu lubiri lwe olwakolebwa mu kibira kya Lebanooni. Tewali kyakolebwa mu ffeeza, kubanga ffeeza teyali ya muwendo nnyo mu biro ebyo.
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.
Kabaka yalina ebyombo ebya maguzi ku nnyanja ebyakozesebwanga awamu n’ebya Kiramu, ebyaleetanga zaabu, ne ffeeza, n’amasanga, n’enkobe n’enkima eza buli ngeri omulundi gumu mu buli myaka esatu.
23 And King Solomon was greater than all the kings of the earth in wealth and in wisdom.
Kabaka Sulemaani yalina obugagga bungi nnyo nnyini, n’amagezi mangi nnyo okusinga bakabaka abalala bonna ku nsi.
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.
Ensi yonna yanoonyanga era yeesunganga okulaba ku Sulemaani n’okuwuliriza amagezi, Katonda ge yamuwa.
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.
Buli mwaka, buli omu eyajjanga okumukyalira, yamuleeteranga ekirabo, oluusi yabeeranga zaabu ne ffeeza, oluusi ngoye, oluusi byakulwanyisa, oluusi byakaloosa, oluusi mbalaasi n’ennyumbu.
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.
Sulemaani yakuŋŋaanya embalaasi n’amagaali, era yalina amagaali lukumi mu bina, n’abeebagazi b’embalaasi omutwalo gumu mu enkumi bbiri, be yakuumiranga mu bibuga omwakuumirwanga amagaali, ne mu Yerusaalemi okumpi naye.
27 And the king made silver as common as stones in Jerusalem and cedars like the sycamore-trees of the lowlands in number.
Kabaka n’afuula ffeeza okuba ng’amayinja aga bulijjo mu Yerusaalemi, n’emivule n’agifuula okuba ng’emisukamooli egiri mu biwonvu olw’obungi bwagyo.
28 And Solomon's horses came from Egypt and from Kue; the king's traders got them at a price from Kue.
Embalaasi za Sulemaani zaagulibwanga mu Misiri.
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.
Eggaali zaagulibwanga kilo musanvu eza ffeeza, na buli mbalaasi ng’egulibwa kilo emu n’ekitundu eza ffeeza mu Misiri. Ate era baazitunzanga ne bakabaka ab’Abakiiti ne bakabaka ab’e Busuuli.
