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.
Tango mwasi mokonzi ya Saba ayokaki sango ya lokumu ya Salomo, ayaki na Yelusalemi mpo na komeka ye na nzela ya mituna ya makasi; ayaki elongo na bato ebele mpe bashamo oyo ememaki biloko ya mike-mike oyo epesaka solo kitoko, wolo ebele mpe mabanga ya talo. Tango akomaki epai ya Salomo, ayebisaki ye nyonso oyo azalaki na yango kati na motema.
2 And Solomon gave her answers to all her questions; there was no secret which he did not make clear to her.
Salomo apesaki ye biyano na mituna na ye nyonso; ezalaki ata na motuna moko te oyo Salomo alongaki te kopesa eyano.
3 And when the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, and the house which he had made,
Tango mwasi mokonzi ya Saba amonaki bwanya ya Salomo, ndako oyo atongaki,
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.
bilei oyo azalaki kolia na mesa na ye, ndako ya basali na ye, esaleli mpe elateli ya basali na ye, basali oyo bapesaka ye masanga mpe bambeka ya kotumba oyo azalaki kobonza kati na Tempelo ya Yawe, mwasi mokonzi ya Saba akamwaki makasi.
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.
Alobaki na mokonzi: « Makambo oyo nayokaki wuta na mokili na ngai na tina na misala mpe na bwanya na yo ezali ya solo!
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.
Nandimaki te makambo oyo bazalaki koloba na tina na yango kino tango ngai moko nayei mpe namoni yango na miso na ngai moko. Nzokande, kolanda oyo ngai namoni, makambo oyo bayebisaki ngai te na tina na bwanya yango ezali penza kati-kati! Solo, oleki sango ya lokumu oyo nayokaki na tina na yo!
7 Happy are your wives and happy these your servants whose place is ever before you, hearing your words of wisdom.
Esengo na bato na yo, esengo na basali na yo, oyo batelemaka tango nyonso liboso na yo mpe bayokaka maloba na yo, oyo etonda na bwanya!
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.
Tika ete Yawe, Nzambe na yo, apambolama; Ye oyo asepelaki na yo mpe atiaki yo na kiti na Ye ya bokonzi lokola mokonzi mpo na kosalela Yawe, Nzambe na yo! Ezali mpo ete Nzambe na yo alingaka Isalaele mpe alingi ete ewumela mpo na libela nde atiaki yo lokola mokonzi na yango, mpo ete osala na bosolo mpe na bosembo. »
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.
Mwasi mokonzi ya Saba apesaki mokonzi Salomo bakilo nkoto misato na nkama mitano ya wolo, biloko ebele penza ya solo kitoko mpe mabanga ya talo. Etikala lisusu kozala te na biloko ebele ya solo kitoko lokola biloko oyo mwasi mokonzi ya Saba amemelaki mokonzi Salomo.
10 And the servants of Huram and the servants of Solomon, in addition to gold from Ophir, came back with sandal-wood and jewels.
Lisusu, basali ya Irami mpe ya Salomo, oyo bamemaki wolo wuta na Ofiri bamemaki mpe mabaya ya santale mpe mabanga ya talo.
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.
Mokonzi asalaki na mabaya wana ya santale makonzi ya Tempelo ya Yawe mpe ya ndako ya mokonzi, banzenze mpe mandanda mpo na bayembi. Batikalaki nanu komona nyonso wana te kati na mokili ya Yuda.
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.
Na ngambo na ye, mokonzi Salomo apesaki na mwasi mokonzi ya Saba biloko nyonso oyo azalaki na yango posa mpe oyo asengaki, koleka kutu biloko oyo amemelaki mokonzi. Sima na yango, mwasi mokonzi ya Saba azongaki elongo na basali na ye, na mokili na ye.
13 Now the weight of gold which came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents;
Mobu na mobu, Salomo azalaki kozwa bakilo ya wolo nkoto tuku mibale,
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.
mbongo ya mpako ya bato ya mombongo oyo bazalaki koteka biloko oyo bazalaki kosomba na bamboka ya bapaya, mpe mbongo ya mpako ya bateki biloko ya ndenge na ndenge. Bakonzi nyonso ya Arabi mpe bayangeli ya bituka bazalaki komema wolo mpe palata epai ya Salomo.
15 And King Solomon made two hundred body-covers of hammered gold, every one having six hundred shekels of gold in it.
Mokonzi Salomo asalisaki na wolo batuta banguba minene nkama mibale; nguba moko na moko esengaki bakilo motoba ya wolo.
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.
Asalisaki lisusu na wolo batuta banguba mike nkama misato; nguba moko na moko ya moke esengaki bakilo misato ya wolo. Mokonzi atiaki yango kati na ndako na ye, oyo bazalaki kobenga « ndako ya zamba ya Libani. »
17 Then the king made a great ivory seat, plated with the best gold.
Mokonzi asalaki na pembe ya nzoko kiti moko monene ya bokonzi mpe abambaki yango wolo ya peto.
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.
Kiti yango ya bokonzi ezalaki na ematelo ya binyatelo motoba, enyatelo makolo ya wolo ekanganaki na kiti. Na bangambo nyonso mibale, ezalaki na bisika ya kotia maboko, mpe bikeko mibale ya nkosi na pembeni ya bisika ya kotia maboko.
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.
Bikeko zomi na mibale ya nkosi ezalaki na likolo ya binyatelo motoba ya ematelo: enyatelo moko na moko ezalaki na bikeko mibale, ekeko moko na ngambo moko na moko. Kati na mikili nyonso, eloko ya ndenge wana etikala nanu kosalema te.
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.
Bakopo nyonso ya mokonzi Salomo ezalaki ya wolo, mpe biloko nyonso ya ndako ya Zamba ya Libani ezalaki ya wolo ya peto. Pamba te, na tango oyo Salomo azalaki mokonzi, palata ezalaki na motuya ata te.
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.
Mokonzi azalaki na bamasuwa oyo ezalaki kokende na Tarsisi, elongo na basali ya Irami. Sima na mibu nyonso misato, bamasuwa ezalaki kozonga wuta na Tarsisi mpe ezalaki komema wolo, palata, pembe ya nzoko, bamakaku mpe bandeke oyo babengaka « Paoni. »
22 And King Solomon was greater than all the kings of the earth in wealth and in wisdom.
Mokonzi Salomo alekaki bakonzi nyonso ya mokili na bozwi mpe na bwanya.
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.
Bakonzi nyonso ya mokili bazalaki koluka kokutana na Salomo mpo na koyoka bwanya oyo Nzambe atiaki kati na motema na ye.
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.
Moko na moko azalaki komemela ye lokola kado biloko ya palata, biloko ya wolo, bilamba, bibundeli, biloko ya mike-mike ya solo kitoko, bampunda mpe bamile. Mpe ezalaki bongo mibu nyonso.
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.
Salomo azalaki na bashambre nkoto minei mpo na kobomba bampunda elongo na bashar, mpe batambolisi nkoto zomi na mibale mpo na bashar. Atiaki yango kati na bingumba ya bashar mpe epai na ye, Salomo, kati na Yelusalemi.
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.
Azalaki likolo ya bakonzi nyonso, longwa na Ebale (Efrate) kino na mokili ya bato ya Filisitia mpe na mondelo ya Ejipito.
27 The king made silver as common as stones in Jerusalem and cedars like the sycamore-trees of the lowlands in number.
Mokonzi asalaki ete palata ekoma ebele kati na Yelusalemi lokola mabanga, mpe banzete ya sedele ekoma ebele lokola banzete ya sikomori oyo ezali kati na mokili ya lubwaku.
28 They got horses for Solomon from Egypt and from every land.
Bampunda ya Salomo ezalaki kowuta na Ejipito mpe na mikili mosusu.
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?
Makambo mosusu oyo etali bokonzi ya Salomo, kobanda na ebandeli kino na suka, ekomama kati na buku ya misala ya mosakoli Natan, ya mosakoli Ayiya, moto ya Silo; mpe kati na buku ya bimoniseli ya Yedo, momoni makambo, na tina na Jeroboami, mwana mobali ya Nebati.
30 Solomon was king over Israel in Jerusalem for forty years.
Salomo akonzaki Isalaele mobimba mibu tuku minei, na Yelusalemi.
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.
Bongo Salomo akendeki kokutana na bakoko na ye, mpe bakundaki ye kati na engumba ya Davidi, tata na ye. Mwana na ye, Roboami, akitanaki na ye na bokonzi.
