1 Kings 10

1 Then, too, the queen of Sheba, having heard of the fame of Solomon in the name of the Lord, arrived to test him with enigmas.

A, no te rongonga o te Kuini o Hepa ki te rongo o Horomona, ki tana i mea ai mo te ingoa o Ihowa, ka haere mai ia ki te whakamatau i a ia ki nga kupu pakeke.

2 And entering into Jerusalem with a great retinue, and with riches, and with camels carrying aromatics, and with an exceedingly great quantity of gold and precious stones, she went to king Solomon. And she spoke to him all that she held in her heart.

Na haere mai ana ia ki Hiruharama, nui atu hoki te tira, he kamera e waha ana i nga mea kakara, i tona nui o te koura, i te kohatu utu nui; na, i tona haerenga ki a Horomona, ka korerotia e ia ki a ia nga mea katoa i roto i tona ngakau.

3 And Solomon taught her, in all the words that she had proposed to him. There was not any word which was able to be hidden from the king, or which he did not answer for her.

A whakaaturia ana e Horomona ki a ia te tikanga o ana kupu katoa, kahore he kupu i ngaro i te kingi, i kore te whakaatu ki a ia.

4 Then, when the queen of Sheba saw all the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had built,

A, no te kitenga o te Kuini o Hepa i te mohio katoa o Horomona, i te whare hoki i hanga e ia,

5 and the food of his table, and the dwelling places of his servants, and the rows of his ministers, and their apparel, and the cupbearers, and the holocausts that he was offering in the house of the Lord, she had no longer any spirit in her.

I te kai o tana tepu, i te nohoanga o ana tangata, i te turanga o ana kaimahi, i o ratou kakahu, i ana kairiringi waina, i tona pikitanga i piki atu ai ki te whare o Ihowa, kore ake he wairua i roto i a ia.

6 And she said to the king: “The word is true, which I have heard in my own land,

A ka mea ia ki te kingi, Pono tonu nga mea i rongo ai ahau i toku whenua mo au mahi, mo tou mohio.

7 about your words and your wisdom. But I did not believe those who explained it to me, until I went myself and saw it with my own eyes. And I have discovered that the half of it has not been told to me: your wisdom and works are greater than the report that I have heard.

Heoi kihai ahau i whakapono ki aua korero, a tae noa mai ahau, kite noa oku kanohi. Nana, kihai te hawhe i korerotia ki ahau; nui atu tou mohio, tou pai, i te rongo i rongo ai ahau.

8 Blessed are your men, and blessed are your servants, who stand before you always, and who hear your wisdom.

Ano te hari o au tangata, ano te hari o enei pononga au e tu tonu nei i tou aroaro, e whakarongo nei ki tou mohio!

9 Blessed is the Lord your God, whom you have greatly pleased, and who has placed you upon the throne of Israel. For the Lord loves Israel forever, and he has appointed you as king, so that you may accomplish judgment and justice.”

Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa, tou Atua i whakaahuareka nei ki a koe, i homai nei i a koe ki runga ki te torona o Iharaira; he aroha mau tonu hoki no Ihowa ki a Iharaira, na meinga ana koe e ia hei kingi, hei nahi i te whakawa, i te tika.

10 Then she gave the king one hundred twenty talents of gold, and an exceedingly great amount of aromatics and precious stones. No greater quantity of aromatics was ever again brought forth as these, which the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.

Na homai ana e ia ki te kingi kotahi rau e rua tekau taranata koura, tona tini o nga mea kakara, me nga kohatu utu nui; kahore he mea kakara i tae mai i muri nei hei rite te nui ki enei i homai nei e te Kuini o Hepa ki a Kingi Horomona.

11 Then, too, the navy of Hiram, which carried gold from Ophir, brought an exceedingly great quantity of thyine wood and precious stones from Ophir.

A na nga kaipuke o Hirama nana nei i mau mai te koura i Opira, na reira ano i kawe mai nga raku aramuka me nga kohatu utu nui i Opira, tona tini.

12 And the king made, from the thyine wood, the posts of the house of the Lord, and of the house of the king, and citharas and lyres for the musicians. No thyine trees of this kind were ever again brought forth or seen, even to the present day.

Na ka hanga aua rakau aramuka e te kingi hei pou mo te whare o Ihowa, mo te whare ano o te kingi, he hapa, hei hatere, he mea ma nga kaiwaiata: kahore ano i tae noa mai he rakau aramuka hei rite, kahore hoki i kitea i mua, a taea noatia tenei ra.

13 Then king Solomon gave the queen of Sheba all that she desired and requested of him, aside from what he himself had offered to her from his royal bounty. And she returned and went away to her own land, with her servants.

Na ka hoatu e Kingi Horomona ki te Kuini o Hepa nga mea katoa i pai ai ia, ana hoki i tono ai, he tapiri ki runga ki nga mea i hoatu e te ringa o Kingi Horomona ki a ia. Heoi ka tahuri ia, a haere ana ratou ko ana tangata ki tona whenua.

14 Now the weight of the gold that was brought to Solomon each year was six hundred sixty-six talents of gold,

Na, ko te taimaha o te koura i tae ki a Horomona i te tau kotahi, e ono rau e ono tekau ma ono taranata koura;

15 aside from what was brought to him by the men who were over the tributes, and by the merchants, and by those selling every kind of small item, and by all the kings of Arabia, and by the rulers of the land.

Haunga a nga kairapu taonga, i mau mai ai me nga taonga a nga kaihokohoko, a nga kingi katoa o Arapia, a nga kawana o te whenua.

16 Also, king Solomon made two hundred large shields from the purest gold. He dispensed six hundred shekels of gold for the layers of one shield.

Na ka hanga e Kingi Horomona etahi pukupuku, e rua rau, he mea patu te koura: e ono rau nga hekere koura ki te pukupuku kotahi.

17 And for the three hundred crescent-shaped shields of tested gold, there were three hundred minas of gold covering one shield. And the king placed these in the house of the forest of Lebanon.

A i hangaia e ia etahi pukupuku iti iho e toru rau, he mea patu te koura: e toru pauna koura ki te pukupuku kotahi: a hoatu ana e te kingi ki te whare o te ngahere o Repanona.

18 Also, king Solomon made a great throne from ivory. And he clothed it with a great quantity of red gold.

A i hanga e te kingi tetahi torona nui ki te rei, whakakikoruatia iho ki te koura pai rawa.

19 The throne had six steps, and the summit of the throne was rounded in the back section. And there were two hands, on one side and the other, holding the seat. And two lions were standing beside each hand,

E ono nga kaupae ki te torona, he mea porotaka a runga o muri o te torona; he okiokinga ringa ano kei te wahi e nohoia ana, i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha, e rua ano nga raiona e tu ana i te taha o nga okiokinga.

20 with twelve little lions standing upon the six steps, on one side and the other. No similar work has been made, ever in any kingdom.

Kotahi tekau ma rua hoki nga raiona i reira e tu ana i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha, i runga i nga kaupae e ono; kahore he mea pera i hanga i tetahi atu rangatiratanga.

21 Moreover, all the vessels from which king Solomon would drink were of gold. And all the items in the house of the forest of Lebanon were of the purest gold. There was no silver, nor was any accounting made of silver in the days of Solomon.

Na, ko nga oko inu katoa a kingi Horomona, he koura kau; me nga oko katoa o te whare o te ngahere o Repanona, he koura parakore; kahore he hiriwa: kihai tera i kiia he mea nui nga ra o Horomona.

22 For the navy of the king, once every three years, went with the navy of Hiram by sea to Tarshish, bringing from there gold, and silver, and elephant tusks, and primates, and peacocks.

He maha hoki a te kingi kaipuke ki Tarahihi i te moana, he mea huihui ki nga kaipuke a Hirama: kotahi te unga mai i nga tau e toru o nga kaipuke o Tarahihi, hei kawe mai i te koura, i te hiriwa, i te rei, i nga makimaki, me nga pikake.

23 And so, king Solomon was magnified above all the kings of the earth in riches and in wisdom.

Na nui atu a Kingi Horomona i nga kingi katoa o te whenua te whai taonga, te mohio.

24 And all the earth desired to see the face of Solomon, so as to hear his wisdom, which God had granted to his heart.

I whaia ano a Horomona e nga whenua katoa, kia rongo ai ratou i tona mohio i homai nei e te Atua ki tona ngakau.

25 And each one brought him gifts, vessels of silver and of gold, clothing and weapons of war, as well as aromatics, and horses, and mules, throughout each year.

Me te kawe mai ano ratou i tana hakari, i tana hakari, i nga oko hiriwa, i nga oko koura, i nga kakahu, i nga mea mo te whawhai, i nga kakara reka, i nga hoiho, i nga muera, he mea tatau a tau tonu.

26 And Solomon gathered together the chariots and horsemen. And he had one thousand four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen. And he placed them in the walled cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.

Na ka amia e Horomona he hariata, he kaieke hoiho: kotahi mano e wha rau ana hariata, tekau ma rua mano nga kainoho hoiho, he mea wehe nana ki nga pa hariata, ki te kingi hoki, ki Hiruharama.

27 And he caused silver to be as abundant in Jerusalem as stones, and he supplied a multitude of cedars like the sycamores that grow in the plains.

Na meinga ana te hiriwa e te kingi ki Hiruharama kia rite ki te kohatu; i meinga ano e ia nga hita kia rite ki te hokamora i te raorao te tini.

28 And horses were brought for Solomon from Egypt and from Kue. For the merchants of the king were buying these from Kue. And they paid out the established price.

A, ko nga hoiho o Horomona, he mea mau mai i Ihipa; na nga kaihoko a te kingi i tango kahui mai, tena kahui me tona utu.

29 Now a four-horse chariot would be sent from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for one hundred and fifty. And in this manner, all the kings of the Hittites and of Syria were selling horses.

Na e ono rau nga hekere hiriwa i riro ai te hariata i puta ai i Ihipa, kotahi rau e rima tekau i riro ai te hoiho: ko ratou hei kawe mo nga kingi katoa o nga Hiti, mo nga kingi o Hiria.
