2 Chronicles 9
1 And the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, and came to Jerusalem to prove Solomon with enigmas; with a very great train, and camels that bore spices and gold in great abundance, and precious stones; and she came to Solomon, and spoke with him of all that was in her heart.
Esi Seba fianyɔnu se ale si Fia Solomo ƒe ŋkɔ ɖi hoo la, eva Yerusalem be yeadoe akpɔ kple biabia sesẽwo. Ekplɔ eŋume kple subɔla geɖewo ɖe asi eye wòtsɔ atike ʋeʋĩwo, sika kple kpe xɔasiwo ɖe kposɔ geɖewo dzi vɛ fũu eye wòƒo nu kple fia la tso nu siwo katã nɔ eƒe susu me la ŋuti.
2 And Solomon explained to her all she spoke of, and there was not a thing hidden from Solomon that he did not explain to her.
Fia Solomo te ŋu ɖo eƒe biabiawo katã ŋu, naneke menɔ ɣaɣla ɖi o. Enya nu sia nu eye wòte ŋu ɖe nu sia nu me nɛ.
3 And when the queen of Sheba saw the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had built,
Esi fianyɔnu la kpɔ ale si gbegbe Solomo nya nu, ale si eƒe fiasã la nyoe,
4 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 their apparel, and his ascent by which he went up to the house of Jehovah, there was no more spirit in her.
nuɖuɖu nyui siwo woɖo kplɔ̃ dzi, subɔla geɖewo kple awu nyui siwo wodo, ahakulawo kple numevɔ geɖe siwo wòsana na Yehowa la, eƒe nu ku.
5 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;
Seba fianyɔnu la gblɔ na fia la be, “Nutsotso siwo katã mese le nye ŋutɔ nye dukɔ me tso wò dzidzedzekpɔkpɔwo kple wò nunya ŋu la nye nyateƒe.
6 but I gave no credit to their words, until I came and mine eyes had seen; and behold, the half of the greatness of thy wisdom was not told me: thou exceedest the report that I heard.
Nyemexɔe se o va se ɖe esime meva ɖo afi sia eye mekpɔe kple nye ŋutɔ nye ŋkuwo. Le nyateƒe me la, womegblɔ ale si wò nunya de ŋgɔe la ƒe afã gɔ̃ hã nam o. Ekɔ gbɔ nutsotso siwo mese la ŋu sasasa.
7 Happy are thy men, and happy are these thy servants, who stand continually before thee and hear thy wisdom!
Wò amewo akpɔ dzidzɔ ŋutɔ, dzidzɔ ka gbegbe wò dɔnunɔla siwo tsia tsitre ɖe wò ŋkume ɣe sia ɣi eye wosea wò nunya la makpɔ o!
8 Blessed be Jehovah thy God, who delighted in thee, to set thee on his throne, to be king to Jehovah thy God! Because thy God loved Israel, to establish them for ever, therefore did he make thee king over them, to do judgment and justice.
Woakafu Yehowa, wò Mawu la ame si ŋu wò nu nyo eye wòtsɔ wò da ɖe eƒe fiazikpui dzi be nànye fia, anɔ Yehowa, wò Mawu la teƒe le lɔlɔ̃ si wò Mawu tsɔ na Israel kple eƒe didi be yealé wo ɖe asi ɖaa ta la, eɖo wò Fiae ɖe wo nu be nàdrɔ̃ ʋɔnu dzɔdzɔe eye nàhe dzɔdzɔenyenye vɛ.”
9 And she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices in very great abundance, and precious stones; neither was there any such spice as that which the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.
Tete Seba fianyɔnu la tsɔ sika tɔn ene, atikeʋeʋĩ gbogbo aɖewo kple kpe xɔasiwo na fia la. Ame aɖeke metsɔ atikeʋeʋĩ aɖeke vɛ kpɔ nenema abe esiwo Seba fianyɔnu la tsɔ na Fia Solomo ene o.
10 (And the servants also of Huram, and the servants of Solomon, who brought gold from Ophir, brought sandal-wood and precious stones.
Fia Hiram kple Solomo ƒe tɔdziʋukulawo tsɔ sika si tso Ofir kple papawuti kple kpe xɔasi geɖewo hã vɛ.
11 And the king made of the sandal-wood stairs for the house of Jehovah, and for the king's house, and harps and lutes for the singers. And there were none such seen before in the land of Judah.)
Fia Solomo tsɔ papawutiwo wɔ atrakpuiwo na gbedoxɔ la kple fiasã la kple kasaŋkuwo kple saŋkuwo na hadzilawo. Womekpɔ haƒonu nyui mawo tɔgbi kpɔ le Yudanyigba blibo la dzi o.
12 And king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she asked, besides what she had brought to the king. And she turned and went to her own land, she and her servants.
Fia Solomo tsɔ nunana geɖewo na Seba fianyɔnu la eye woƒe home de esi fianyɔnu la nae nu hafi wògatsɔ nu sia nu si fianyɔnu la biae la nɛ. Azɔ la, fianyɔnu la kple eƒe amewo trɔ yi wo de.
13 And the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold,
Sika si Solomo xɔna ƒe sia ƒe la dea tɔn blaeve vɔ atɔ̃,
14 besides [what] dealers and merchants brought, and [what] all the kings of Arabia and the governors of the country brought of gold and silver to Solomon.
ga si asitsalawo tsɔna vɛ nɛ la mele eme o. Hekpe ɖe esia ŋu la, Arabia fiawo katã kple anyigba la dzi mɔmefiawo tsɔa sika kple klosalo vɛ na Solomo.
15 And king Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold, — he applied six hundred [shekels] of beaten gold to one target;
Fia Solomo tsɔ sika wɔ akpoxɔnu gã alafa eve. Wotsɔ sika kilogram etɔ̃ kple afã wɔ wo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe.
16 and three hundred shields of beaten gold, — he applied three hundred [shekels] of gold to one shield; and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
Egatsɔ sika wɔ akpoxɔnu ɖagbitɔ alafa etɔ̃, ɖe sia ɖe ƒe kpekpeme nye kilo eve. Fia la tsɔ nu siawo da ɖe Lebanon ƒe Avexɔ me le eƒe fiasã la me.
17 And the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold;
Fia la kpa fiazikpui gã aɖe. Etsɔ nyiɖu fa ɖe eme eye wòtsɔ sika nyuitɔ fa ɖe eŋu.
18 and the throne had six steps, with a footstool of gold fastened to the throne; and there were arms on each side at the place of the seat, and two lions stood beside the arms;
Etsɔ sika wɔ atrakpui ade kple afɔɖodzinu ɖeka kple abɔɖoƒewo ɖe fiazikpui la ŋu. Abɔɖoƒe nɔ zikpuia ƒe axa eveawo dzi eye wowɔ dzata si le tsitre la da ɖe abɔɖoƒe aveawo ƒe axadzi.
19 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.
Dzata wuieve le atrakpuifɔflɔ adeawo ƒe axawo kple eve dzi. Fiazikpui aɖeke meganyo abe esia ene le fiaɖuƒe aɖeke me o.
20 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: silver was not of the least account in the days of Solomon.
Wotsɔ sika wɔ kplu siwo katã me Fia Solomo noa nu le eye nenema ke wotsɔ sika nyuitɔ wɔ nuɖugba kple nuɖaze siwo katã nɔ Lebanon Ƒe Avexɔ la me. Womewɔ naneke kple klosalo o elabena le Solomo ƒe anyinɔɣi la, womebua klosalo be enye nu xɔasi o.
21 For the king's ships went to Tarshish with the servants of Huram: once in three years came the ships of Tarshish, bringing gold and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
Asitsatɔdziʋu geɖewo nɔ fia la si siwo yia asigbe le atsiaƒu dzi kple Hiram ƒe dɔlawo tɔwo. Wotrɔna gbɔna zi ɖeka le ƒe etɔ̃ me kple sika, klosalo, nyiɖu kple kese ƒomevi vovovowo kple xewo.
22 And king Solomon was greater than all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.
Ale Fia Solomo de ŋgɔ wu anyigbadzifiawo katã le kesinɔnuwo kple nunya me.
23 And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
Fiawo tsoa dukɔ ɖe sia ɖe me vana Solomo gbɔ hena aɖaŋuxɔxɔ eye be woaɖo to nunya si Mawu tsɔ de eƒe dzi me.
24 And they brought every man his present, vessels of silver and vessels of gold, and clothing, armour, and spices, horses and mules, a rate year by year.
Wo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe tsɔa klosalo, sika kple awuwo, aʋawɔnuwo, atike ʋeʋĩwo, sɔwo kple tedzisɔwo vana nɛ ƒe sia ƒe.
25 And Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen; and he placed them in the chariot-cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
Hekpe ɖe esiawo ŋu la, sɔ akpe ene, siwo wowɔ nɔƒe na, kple tasiaɖamwo kpakple sɔdola akpe wuieve nɔ Solomon si le tasiaɖamduwo me kple Yerusalem hena fia la ŋu dzɔdzɔ.
26 And he ruled over all the kings from the river as far as the land of the Philistines, and up to the border of Egypt.
Solomo ɖu fia ɖe fia kple fiaɖuƒe ɖe sia ɖe dzi tso Frat tɔsisi la to yi Filistitɔwo ƒe anyigba dzi heyi keke Egipte ƒe liƒo dzi.
27 And the king made silver in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he as the sycamores that are in the lowland for abundance.
Ena klosalo bɔ ɖe Yerusalem abe ale si kpewo nɔa mɔ dzi ene eye wowɔa sedati ŋu dɔ abe ale si wowɔa gboti si bɔ fũu la ŋu dɔ ene.
28 And they brought to Solomon horses out of Egypt, and out of all lands.
Wotsɔa sɔwo tso Egipte kple dukɔ bubuwo me vɛ nɛ.
29 And the rest of the acts of Solomon first and last, are they not written in the words of Nathan the prophet, and in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Iddo the seer concerning Jeroboam the son of Nebat?
Woŋlɔ nu bubu siwo Fia Solomo wɔ la ɖe Nyagblɔɖila Natan ƒe ŋutinyawo kple Nyagblɔɖila Ahiya, Silotɔ la ƒe nyagblɔɖiwo kple nukpɔla, ldo ƒe nu siwo wòkpɔ tso Yeroboam, Nebat ƒe vi ŋu la me.
30 And Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years.
Ale Fia Solomo ɖu fia le Yerusalem ɖe Israel dukɔ blibo la dzi ƒe blaene.
31 And Solomon slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David his father; and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead.
Esi wòku la, woɖii ɖe fofoa, David ƒe du la me eye via Rehoboam ɖu fia ɖe eteƒe.
