1 Kings 10
1 And the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon in connection with the name of Jehovah, and came to prove him with enigmas.
Tango mwasi mokonzi ya Saba ayokaki sango ya lokumu oyo Kombo ya Yawe epesaki Salomo, ayaki mpo na komeka ye na nzela ya mituna ya makasi;
2 And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels that bore spices and gold in very great abundance, and precious stones; and she came to Solomon, and spoke to him of all that was in her heart.
ayaki na Yelusalemi 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.
3 And Solomon explained to her all she spoke of: there was not a thing hidden from the king that he did not explain to her.
Salomo apesaki ye biyano na mituna na ye nyonso, ezalaki ata na motuna moko te oyo mokonzi alongaki te kopesa eyano.
4 And when the queen of Sheba saw all Solomon's wisdom, and the house that he had built,
Tango mwasi mokonzi ya Saba amonaki bwanya nyonso ya Salomo, ndako oyo atongaki,
5 and the food of his table, and the deportment of his servants, and the order of service of his attendants, and their apparel, and his cupbearers, and his ascent by which he went up to the house of Jehovah, 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
6 And she said to the king, It was a true report that I heard in mine own land of thine affairs, and of thy wisdom;
mpe alobaki na mokonzi: « Makambo oyo nayokaki wuta na mokili na ngai na tina na misala na yo mpe na bwanya na yo ezali ya solo.
7 but I gave no credit to the words, until I came and mine eyes had seen; and behold, the half was not told me: in wisdom and prosperity thou exceedest the report that I heard.
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, bwanya mpe bozwi na yo eleki sango ya lokumu oyo nayokaki na tina na yo.
8 Happy are thy men! happy are these thy servants, who stand continually before thee, who hear thy wisdom!
Esengo na bato na yo, esengo na basali na yo, ba-oyo batelemaka tango nyonso liboso na yo mpe bayokaka maloba na yo, oyo etonda na bwanya!
9 Blessed be Jehovah thy God, who delighted in thee, to set thee on the throne of Israel! Because Jehovah loves Israel for ever, therefore did he make thee king, to do judgment and justice.
Tika ete Yawe, Nzambe na yo, apambolama; Ye oyo asepelaki na yo mpe atiaki yo na kiti ya bokonzi ya Isalaele! Ezali mpo ete Nzambe na yo alingaka Isalaele mpo na libela nde atiaki yo lokola mokonzi mpo ete osala na bosolo mpe na bosembo. »
10 And she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices in very great abundance, and precious stones: there came no more such abundance of spices as those which the queen of Sheba gave to king 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. Batikala lisusu te komema biloko ebele ya solo kitoko lokola oyo mwasi mokonzi ya Saba amemelaki mokonzi Salomo.
11 (And the fleet also of Hiram, which carried gold from Ophir, brought from Ophir sandal-wood in very great abundance, and precious stones.
Masuwa ya Irami oyo ememaki wolo wuta na Ofiri ememaki mpe mabaya ebele ya santale mpe mabanga ya talo.
12 And the king made of the sandal-wood a balustrade for the house of Jehovah, and for the king's house, and harps and lutes for the singers. There came no such sandal-wood, nor was there seen to this day.)
Mokonzi asalaki na mabaya wana ya santale makonzi ya Tempelo ya Yawe mpe ya ndako ya mokonzi; asalaki na yango mpe mandanda mpe makembe. Mabaya ya santale etikala lisusu koya te, mpe batikala lisusu komona yango te kino na mokolo ya lelo.
13 And king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she asked, besides what he gave her of the bounty of king Solomon. And she turned and went to her own land, she and her servants.
Na ngambo na ye, mokonzi Salomo mpe apesaki na mwasi mokonzi ya Saba biloko nyonso oyo azalaki na yango posa mpe oyo asengaki; apesaki ye lisusu bakado oyo kaka mokonzi lokola Salomo akokaki kopesa. Sima na yango, mwasi mokonzi ya Saba azongaki elongo na basali na ye, na mokili na ye.
14 And the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold,
Mobu na mobu, Salomo azalaki kozwa bakilo ya wolo nkoto tuku mibale,
15 besides what [came] by the dealers, and by the traffic of the merchants, and by all the kings of Arabia, and by the governors of the country.
mbongo ya mpako ya bato ya mombongo oyo bazalaki koteka biloko oyo bazalaki kosomba na bamboka ya bapaya, mbongo ya mpako ya bateki biloko ya ndenge na ndenge, mbongo ya mpako oyo bakonzi nyonso ya Arabi bazalaki kofuta, mpe oyo bayangeli ya bituka bazalaki kokongola kati na mokili ya Isalaele.
16 And king Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold, — he applied six hundred [shekels] of gold to one target;
Mokonzi Salomo asalisaki na wolo batuta banguba minene nkama mibale: nguba moko na moko esengaki bakilo motoba ya wolo.
17 and three hundred shields of beaten gold, — he applied three minas of gold to one shield; and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
Asalisaki lisusu na wolo batuta banguba mike nkama misato: nguba moko na moko ya moke esengaki kilo moko na bagrame nkama mitano ya wolo. Mokonzi atiaki yango kati na ndako na ye, oyo bazalaki kobenga « ndako ya zamba ya Libani. »
18 And the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with refined gold:
Mokonzi asalaki na pembe ya nzoko kiti moko monene ya bokonzi mpe abambaki yango wolo ya peto.
19 the throne had six steps, and the top of the throne was rounded behind; and there were arms on each side at the place of the seat, and two lions stood beside the arms;
Kiti yango ya bokonzi ezalaki na ematelo ya binyatelo motoba mpe songe ya mokongo na yango ezalaki lokola libungutulu. Na bangambo nyonso mibale, ezalaki na bisika ya kotia maboko mpe bikeko mibale ya nkosi na pembeni ya bisika ya kotia maboko.
20 and twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other upon the six steps: there was not the like made 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.
21 And all king Solomon's drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of precious gold: none were of silver, [which] was not of the least account in the days of Solomon.
Bakopo nyonso ya mokonzi Salomo ezalaki ya wolo ya peto, mpe biloko nyonso ya ndako ya Zamba ya Libani ezalaki ya wolo ya peto. Eloko moko te ezalaki ya palata, pamba te, na tango oyo Salomo azalaki mokonzi, palata ezalaki na motuya ata te.
22 For the king had on the sea a Tarshish-fleet, with the fleet of Hiram: once in three years came the Tarshish-fleet, bringing gold and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
Mpe mokonzi azalaki na bamasuwa oyo ezalaki kosala mombongo na ebale monene elongo na bamasuwa ya Irami. Sima na mibu nyonso misato, bamasuwa ezalaki kozonga longwa na Tarsisi mpe ezalaki komema wolo, palata, pembe ya nzoko, bamakaku mpe bandeke oyo babengaka « paoni. »
23 And king Solomon was greater than all the kings of the earth in riches and in wisdom.
Mokonzi Salomo alekaki bakonzi nyonso ya mokili na bozwi mpe na bwanya.
24 And all the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
Mokili mobimba ezalaki koluka kokutana na Salomo mpo na koyoka bwanya oyo Nzambe atiaki kati na motema na ye.
25 And they brought every man his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and clothing, and armour, and spices, horses and mules, a rate year by year.
Kati na bato oyo bazalaki kokende kotala Salomo, 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.
26 And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen; and he had a thousand four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen; and he placed them in the chariot-cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
Salomo asangisaki bashar mpe basoda oyo batambolaka likolo ya bampunda: azalaki na bashar nkoto moko na nkama minei, mpe basoda oyo batambolaka likolo ya bampunda, nkoto zomi na mibale. Abombaki bango kati na bingumba epai wapi babombaka bashar, mpe na Yelusalemi epai wapi mokonzi azalaki kovanda.
27 And the king made silver in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he as the sycamores that are in the lowland for abundance.
Mokonzi asalaki ete palata ekoma ebele na Yelusalemi lokola mabanga, mpe banzete ya sedele ekoma ebele lokola banzete ya sikomori oyo ezali kati na mokili ya lubwaku.
28 And the exportation of horses that Solomon had was from Egypt: a caravan of the king's merchants fetched a drove [of horses], at a price.
Bampunda ya Salomo ezalaki kowuta na Ejipito mpe na engumba Kue. Bato ya mombongo ya mokonzi nde bazalaki kosomba yango kuna na engumba Kue.
29 And a chariot came up and went out of Egypt for six hundred [shekels] of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty; and so they brought [them] by their means, for all the kings of the Hittites and for the kings of Syria.
Bazalaki kosomba na Ejipito shar moko na motuya ya mbongo ya bibende ya palata, nkama motoba, mpe mpunda moko na motuya ya mbongo ya bibende, nkama moko na tuku mitano; bazalaki mpe kosomba yango mpo na bakonzi nyonso ya bato ya Iti mpe ya Siri.
