2 Chronicles 9
1 Now the queen of Sheba, hearing great things of Solomon, came to Jerusalem to put his wisdom to the test with hard questions; and with her came a very great train, and camels weighted down with spices, and great stores of gold and jewels: and when she came to Solomon she had talk with him of everything in her mind.
Alò, depi rèn Séba te tande afè rekonesans a Salomon an, li te vini Jérusalem pou fè pase Salomon a leprèv avèk kesyon ki te byen difisil. Li te gen yon gran konpanyen moun avèk chamo chaje avèk epis ak yon gran kantite lò, avèk pyè presye. Lè li te rive kote Salomon, li te pale avèk li selon tout sa ki te nan kè li.
2 And Solomon gave her answers to all her questions; there was no secret which he did not make clear to her.
Salomon te reponn tout kesyon li yo. Anyen pa t kache a Salomon ke li pa t eksplike li.
3 And when the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, and the house which he had made,
Lè rèn Séba te fin wè sajès a Salomon an, kay ke li te bati a,
4 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 their robes, and the burned offerings which he made in the house of the Lord, there was no more spirit in her.
manje sou tab li, aranjman pozisyon chèz sèvitè li yo, konpòtman avèk abiman ministè li yo, eskalye li a sou sila li te konn monte pou rive lakay SENYÈ a, sa te fè l pèdi souf.
5 And she said to the king, The account which was given to me in my country of your acts and your wisdom was true.
Li te di a wa a: “Se te verite; rapò ke m te tande nan pwòp peyi mwen konsènan pawòl avèk sajès ou.
6 But I had no faith in what was said about you, till I came and saw for myself; and truly, word was not given me of half your great wisdom; you are much greater than they said.
Sepandan, mwen pa t kwè rapò yo jiskaske m te rive, e zye m vin wè. Epi vwala, mwatye a grandè a sajès yo pa t pale mwen sa. Ou depase rapò ke m te tande a.
7 Happy are your wives and happy these your servants whose place is ever before you, hearing your words of wisdom.
Jan mesye pa ou yo beni, jan sèvitè ou yo ki kanpe devan ou tout tan pou tande sajès ou yo beni!
8 Praise be to the Lord your God whose pleasure it was to put you on the seat of his kingdom to be king for the Lord your God: because, in his love for Israel, it was the purpose of your God to make them strong for ever, he made you king over them, to be their judge in righteousness.
Beniswa SENYÈ a, Bondye ou a, ki te pran plezi nan ou, e ki te mete ou sou twòn Li kòm wa pou SENYÈ a, Bondye ou a, akoz Bondye ou a te renmen Israël, Li etabli yo jis pou tout tan. Pou sa, Li te fè ou wa sou yo, pou fè lajistis avèk ladwati.”
9 And she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and a great store of spices and jewels: never had such spices been seen as the queen of Sheba gave to Solomon.
Apre sa, li te bay wa a san-ven talan lò avèk yon trè gran kantite epis avèk pyè presye. Pa t janm te kon gen epis kon sa yo ke rèn Séba te bay a Wa Salomon an.
10 And the servants of Huram and the servants of Solomon, in addition to gold from Ophir, came back with sandal-wood and jewels.
Sèvitè a Huram yo avèk sèvitè a Salomon ki te pote lò sòti nan Ophir yo, anplis te pote bwa sandal avèk pyè presye yo.
11 And with the sandal-wood the king made steps for the house of the Lord and for the king's house, and instruments of music for the makers of melody; never before had such been seen in the land of Judah.
Avèk bwa sandal yo, wa a te fè eskalye pou kay SENYÈ a ak pou palè wa a ak gita, avèk ap pou chantè yo. Epi nanpwen bagay konsa ki te konn wè avan nan peyi Juda.
12 And King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she made request for, in addition to what she had taken to the king. So she went back to her country with her servants.
Wa Salomon te bay a rèn Séba tout dezi li nan sa li te mande, plis ke sa li te pote bay wa a. Alò, li te vire retounen nan peyi li avèk sèvitè li yo.
13 Now the weight of gold which came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents;
Alò, pwa a lò ki te vini a Salomon nan en an te sis-san-swasann-sis talan an lò,
14 And in addition to what he got from traders of different sorts, all the kings of Arabia and the rulers of the country gave gold and silver to Solomon.
anplis de sa ke machann avèk komèsan yo te pote. Tout wa Arabie avèk dirijan peyi sa yo te mennen lò avèk ajan bay Salomon.
15 And King 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 defans an lò bat, ki te sèvi sis-san sik lò nan chak gran boukliye.
16 And he made three hundred smaller body-covers of hammered gold, using three hundred shekels of gold for every cover, and the king put them in the house of the Woods of Lebanon.
Li te fè twa-san boukliye ki te sèvi twa-san sik lò sou chak boukliye e wa a te mete yo nan kay Forè Liban an.
17 Then the king made a great ivory seat, plated with the best gold.
Anplis, wa a te fè yon gran twòn avèk ivwa, e li te kouvri li avèk lò pi.
18 There were six steps up to it, and a foot-rest of gold fixed to it, and arms on the two sides of the seat, with two lions at the side of the arms.
Te gen sis mach pye eskalye ki pou rive nan twòn nan ak yon mach pye eskalye an lò ki te tache a twòn nan, avèk manch nan chak kote chèz la, avèk de lyon ki te kanpe akote manch yo.
19 And twelve lions were placed on one side and on the other side on the six steps: there was nothing like it in any kingdom.
Douz lyon yo te kanpe la sou sis etap eskalye sou yon kote ak sou lòt la. Nanpwen anyen tankou li ki te fèt pou okenn lòt wayòm.
20 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: no one gave a thought to silver in the days of Solomon.
Tout veso pou bwè ke Salomon te genyen yo te fèt an lò, e tout veso nan kay Forè Liban an te lò pi. Ajan pa t konsidere kòm tèlman valab nan jou a Salomon yo.
21 For the king had Tarshish-ships sailing with the servants of Huram: once every three years the Tarshish-ships came back with gold and silver, ivory and monkeys and peacocks.
Paske wa a te gen bato ki te konn ale Tarsis avèk sèvitè a Huram yo. Yon fwa chak twazan, bato Tarsis yo te antre avèk lò ak ajan, ivwa, makak ak zwazo pan yo.
22 And King Solomon was greater than all the kings of the earth in wealth and in wisdom.
Konsa, Wa Salomon te vin pi gran pase tout wa sou latè yo nan richès avèk sajès.
23 And all the kings of the earth came to see Solomon and to give ear to his wisdom, which God had put into his heart.
Epi tout wa latè yo t ap chache prezans a Salomon pou tande sajès ke Bondye te mete nan kè li.
24 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 for transport, regularly year by year.
Yo chak te pote pwòp kado pa yo: bagay an ajan avèk lò, vètman, zam, epis, cheval, milèt, an gran kantite ane pa ane.
25 Solomon had four thousand buildings for his horses and his war-carriages, and twelve thousand horsemen whom he kept, some in the carriage-towns and some with the king in Jerusalem.
Alò, Salomon te gen kat-mil estasyon separe pou cheval avèk cha e douz-mil chevalye. Li te pozisyone yo nan vil cha yo ak kote wa a nan Jérusalem.
26 And he was ruler over all the kings from the River to the land of the Philistines, as far as the limit of Egypt.
Li te mèt sou tout wa yo soti nan Rivyè Euphrate la, jis rive nan peyi Filisten yo, e jis rive nan lizyè Égypte la.
27 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 gaye tankou wòch Jérusalem, e li te fè sèd yo anpil tankou bwa sikomò ki nan ba plèn nan.
28 They got horses for Solomon from Egypt and from every land.
Yo te mennen cheval pou Salomon soti an Égypte avèk tout peyi yo.
29 Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last, are they not recorded in the history of Nathan the prophet, and in the words of Ahijah the prophet of Shiloh, and in the visions of Iddo the seer about Jeroboam, the son of Nebat?
Alò, tout lòt zèv a Salomon yo, soti nan premye a jis rive nan dènye a, èske yo pa ekri nan rekò a Nathan yo, pwofèt la, nan pwofesi Achija a, Silonit lan, ak nan vizyon a Jéedo yo, konseye a Jéroboam nan, fis a Nebath la?
30 Solomon was king over Israel in Jerusalem for forty years.
Salomon te renye pandan karantan Jérusalem ak sou tout Israël.
31 And Solomon went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in the town of David his father; and Rehoboam his son became king in his place.
Salomon te dòmi avèk zansèt li yo, e li te antere nan lavil papa li, David. Fis li, Roboam te renye nan plas li.
