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.
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 to her all she spoke of, and there was not a thing hidden from Solomon that he did not explain to her.
Salomon te reponn tout kesyon li yo. Anyen pa t kache a Salomon ke li pa t eksplike li.
3 And when the queen of Sheba saw the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had built,
Lè rèn Séba te fin wè sajès a Salomon an, kay ke li te bati a,
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.
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, It was a true report that I heard in mine own land of thine affairs and of thy 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 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.
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 Happy are thy men, and happy are these thy servants, who stand continually before thee and hear thy 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 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.
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 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.
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 (And the servants also of Huram, and the servants of Solomon, who brought gold from Ophir, brought sandal-wood and precious stones.
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 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.)
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 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.
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 And the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and 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 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.
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 king Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold, — he applied six hundred [shekels] of beaten gold to one target;
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 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.
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 And the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold;
Anplis, wa a te fè yon gran twòn avèk ivwa, e li te kouvri li avèk lò pi.
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;
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 king Solomon was greater than all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.
Konsa, Wa Salomon te vin pi gran pase tout wa sou latè yo nan richès avèk sajès.
23 And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in 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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 the king made silver in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he as the sycamores that are in the lowland for abundance.
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 they brought to Solomon horses out of Egypt, and out of all lands.
Yo te mennen cheval pou Salomon soti an Égypte avèk tout peyi yo.
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?
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 Israel forty years.
Salomon te renye pandan karantan Jérusalem ak sou tout Israël.
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.
Salomon te dòmi avèk zansèt li yo, e li te antere nan lavil papa li, David. Fis li, Roboam te renye nan plas li.
