2 Chronicles 9
1 Also, when the queen of Sheba had heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to Jerusalem, with great riches and with camels which were carrying aromatics, and very much gold, and precious gems, so that she might test him with enigmas. And when she had approached Solomon, she spoke to him all that was in her heart.
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 explained for her all that she had proposed. And there was nothing that 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 after she saw these things, specifically, the wisdom of Solomon, and the house which he had built,
Lè rèn Séba te fin wè sajès a Salomon an, kay ke li te bati a,
4 indeed also the foods of his table, and the habitations of the servants, and the duties of his ministers, and their apparel, and also his cupbearers and their garments, and the victims which he was immolating in the house of the Lord, there was no longer any spirit in her, due to astonishment.
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 word is true, which I had heard in my own land, about your virtues and wisdom.
Li te di a wa a: “Se te verite; rapò ke m te tande nan pwòp peyi mwen konsènan pawòl avèk sajès ou.
6 I did not believe those who described it, until I had arrived and my eyes had seen, and I had proven that not even half of your wisdom had been described to me. You have exceeded your fame with your virtue.
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 Blessed are your men, and blessed are your servants, who stand before you at all times and listen to your wisdom.
Jan mesye pa ou yo beni, jan sèvitè ou yo ki kanpe devan ou tout tan pou tande sajès ou yo beni!
8 Blessed is the Lord your God, who willed to set you upon his throne as a king for the Lord your God. Since God loves Israel, he wishes to preserve them unto eternity. For this reason, he appointed you as king over them, so that you may accomplish judgment and justice.”
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 Then she gave to the king one hundred twenty talents of gold, and an exceedingly great abundance of aromatics, and very precious gems. Never were there such aromatics as those that the queen of Sheba gave to king 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 Then too, the servants of Hiram, with the servants of Solomon, brought gold from Ophir, and wood from thyine trees, and very precious gems.
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 the king made, from this particular thyine wood, steps in the house of the Lord, and in the house of the king, and also harps and psalteries for the singing men. Never was there seen such wood 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 Then king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all that she desired, and all that she requested, and much more than what she had brought to him. And returning, she went away to her own land 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 the gold, which was being brought to Solomon throughout each year, was six hundred sixty-six talents of gold,
Alò, pwa a lò ki te vini a Salomon nan en an te sis-san-swasann-sis talan an lò,
14 apart from the sum that the legates of various nations and the merchants were accustomed to bring, and apart from the gold and silver that all the kings of Arabia, and the princes of the lands, were bringing together for 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 so, king Solomon made two hundred gold spears, from six hundred gold pieces, the amount used for each spear,
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 also three hundred gold shields, from three hundred gold pieces, which covered each shield. And the king placed them in the armory, which was situated in a forest.
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 Also, the king made a great ivory throne, and he clothed it with the purest gold.
Anplis, wa a te fè yon gran twòn avèk ivwa, e li te kouvri li avèk lò pi.
18 And there were six steps, by which he would ascend to the throne, and a footstool of gold, and two arms, one on each side, and two lions standing beside 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 Moreover, there were twelve additional little lions standing upon the six steps on both sides. There was no similar throne in all the kingdoms.
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 Also, all the vessels for the feasts of the king were of gold, and the vessels of the forest house of Lebanon were from the purest gold. For silver in those days was considered as nothing.
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 indeed, the ships of the king went to Tarshish, with the servants of Hiram, once every three years. And they brought from there gold, and silver, and ivory, and primates, 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 so, Solomon was magnified above all the kings of the earth in wealth and glory.
Konsa, Wa Salomon te vin pi gran pase tout wa sou latè yo nan richès avèk sajès.
23 And all the kings of the lands were desiring to see the face of Solomon, so that they might hear the wisdom that God had granted to 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 they were bringing to him gifts, vessels of silver and of gold, and garments, and armor, and aromatics, and horses, and mules, throughout each 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 Also, Solomon had forty thousand horses in the stables, and twelve thousand chariots and horsemen, and he appointed them to the cities of the chariots, and where the king was 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 Now he also exercised authority over all the kings from the river Euphrates as far as the land of the Philistines, and as far as the borders 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 And he brought forth so much silver that it was as plentiful in Jerusalem as stones. And cedar trees were as great in number as the sycamores that spring up in the plains.
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 And horses were brought to him from Egypt and from every region.
Yo te mennen cheval pou Salomon soti an Égypte avèk tout peyi yo.
29 Now the rest of the works of Solomon, the first and the last, have been written in the words of Nathan, the prophet, and in the books of Ahijah, the Shilonite, as well as in the vision of Iddo, the seer, against Jeroboam, the son of Nabat.
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 And Solomon reigned in Jerusalem, over all of Israel, for forty years.
Salomon te renye pandan karantan Jérusalem ak sou tout Israël.
31 And he slept with his fathers. And they buried him in the City of David. And his son, Rehoboam, reigned 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.
