2 Chronicles 9
1 And when the queen of Saba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to try him with hard questions at Jerusalem, with great riches, and camels, which carried spices, and abundance of gold, and precious stones. And when she was come to Solomon, she proposed to him all that was in her heart.
Larenn peyi Saba tande pale ki kalite moun Salomon te ye. Li vwayaje pou lavil Jerizalèm pou l' sonde konesans Salomon avèk kèk keksyon difisil. Se konsa, li mennen anpil moun avè l' ak anpil chamo chaje odè, fèy santi bon, kantite lò ak pyè koute chè. Lè li rive devan Salomon, li poze l' tout kalite keksyon li te fè lide mande l'.
2 And Solomon explained to her all that she proposed: and there was not any thing that he did not make clear unto her.
Salomon menm reponn tout keksyon l' yo. pa t' gen anyen ki te twò difisil pou li reponn.
3 And when she had seen these things, to wit, the wisdom of Solomon, and the house which he had built,
Larenn peyi Saba a wè jan Salomon te gen anpil bon konprann. Li wè palè li te bati a.
4 And the meats of his table, and the dwelling places of his servants, and the attendance of his officers, and their apparel, his cupbearers also, and their garments, and the victims which he offered in the house of the Lord: there was no more spirit in her, she was so astonished.
Li wè kalite manje yo te sèvi sou tab li, kay li te fè bati pou chèf li yo, jan li te òganize moun k'ap travay nan palè a, rad inifòm yo te genyen, domestik ki t'ap sèvi l' bweson ak bèt li te ofri pou boule nèt pou Seyè a nan Tanp lan. Lè li wè tou sa, li pèdi lapawòl sitèlman li te sezi.
5 And she said to the king: The word is true which I heard in my country of thy virtues and wisdom.
Li di wa Salomon konsa: -Sa m' te tande nan peyi m' sou ou ak sou bon konprann ou an, se te vre!
6 I did not believe them that told it, until I came, and my eyes had seen, and I had proved that scarce one half of thy wisdom had been told me: thou hast exceeded the same with thy virtues.
Men, mwen pa t' vle kwè toutotan mwen pa t' vini wè ak je pa mwen. Men, sa m' te tande a se pa mwatye sa m' wè a. Bon konprann ou ak richès ou pi plis pase sa yo te di a.
7 Happy are thy men, and happy are thy servants, who stand always before thee, and hear thy wisdom.
Ala bèl chans moun pa ou yo genyen! Ala bèl chans pou moun k'ap travay avè ou yo! Yo toujou la devan ou ap tande bèl pawòl k'ap soti nan bouch ou!
8 Blessed be the Lord thy God, who hath been pleased to set thee on his throne, king of the Lord thy God. Because God loveth Israel, and will preserve them for ever: therefore hath he made thee king over them, to do judgment and justice.
Lwanj pou Seyè a, Bondye ou la! Li moutre jan li kontan avè ou. Li mete ou chita sou fotèy li a pou ou te ka wa peyi Izrayèl la. Li menm ki renmen peyi Izrayèl la, li vle pou peyi a pa janm disparèt. Li mete ou wa pou ou ka kenbe peyi a nan lòd, nan bon chemen, san patipri.
9 And she gave to the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices in great abundance, and most precious stones: there were no such spices as these which the queen of Saba gave to king Solomon.
Larenn Saba a fè wa a kado twa tòn edmi lò ak kantite fèy santi bon ak anpil pyè koute chè. Pat janm rive gen nan pèyi Izrayèl la kantite fèy santi bon tankou sa larenn Saba a te bay wa Salomon lè sa a.
10 And the servants also of Hiram, with the servants of Solomon, brought gold from Ophir, and thyine trees, and most precious stones:
Moun Iram yo ansanm ak moun Salomon yo, ki te al chache lò nan peyi Ofi, te pote yon gwo kantite bwa koray ak anpil bèl pyè koute chè soti nan menm peyi a.
11 And the king made of the thyine trees stairs in the house of the Lord, and in the king’s house, and harps and psalteries for the singing men: never were there seen such trees in the land of Juda.
Salomon sèvi ak bwa koray yo pou fè planche nan Tanp lan ak nan palè a. Li fè gita ak bandjo pou mizisyen yo ak bwa sa a tou. Yo pa t' janm wè bagay konsa nan peyi Jida a anvan sa.
12 And king Solomon gave to the queen of Saba all that she desired, and that she asked, and many more things than she brought to him: so she returned, and went to her own country with her servants.
Wa Salomon te bay larenn peyi Saba a tou sa li te mande l', san konte kado li te ba li pou koresponn ak sa larenn lan te pote ba li. Apre sa, larenn lan tounen tounen l' nan peyi Saba ansanm ak tout moun ki te avè l' yo.
13 And the weight of the gold, that was brought to Solomon every year, was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold:
Chak lanne, wa Salomon te resevwa vennsenk tòn lò,
14 Beside the sum which the deputies of divers nations, and the merchants were accustomed to bring, and all the kings of Arabia, and the lords of the lands, who I brought gold and silver to Solomon.
san konte lajan li te resevwa nan men moun k'ap fè trafik yo ak moun k'ap fè kòmès yo. Tout wa peyi Arabi yo ak gouvènè pèp Izrayèl yo te pote lò ak ajan bay Salomon tou.
15 And king Solomon made two hundred golden spears, of the sum of six hundred pieces of gold, which went to every spear:
Salomon te fè fè desan (200) gwo plak pwotèj an fè. Lèfini, li fè kouvri yo chak ak yon kouch lò ki peze douz liv.
16 And three hundred golden shields of three hundred pieces of gold, which went to the covering of every shield: and the king put them in the armoury, which was compassed with a wood.
Li fè fè twasan (300) ti plak pwotèj, li fè kouvri yo chak ak yon kouch lò ki peze sis liv. Li mete tout plak pwotèj sa yo nan salon Rakbwa Peyi Liban an.
17 The king also made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold.
Li fè fè tou yon gwo fotèy ak kòn elefan. Li fè kouvri l' ak pi bon kalite lò ki genyen.
18 And six steps to go up to the throne, and a footstool of gold, and two arms one on either side, and two lions standing by the arms:
Pou rive bò fotèy la, se pou ou te moute sis mach eskalye. Devan fotèy la te gen yon ti ban an lò pou wa a lonje pye l'. Fotèy la te gen de manch. Sou kote manch yo, sou chak bò te gen pòtre yon lyon.
19 Moreover twelve other little lions standing upon the steps on both sides: there was not such a throne in any kingdom.
Te gen douz lyon sou mach eskalye yo, de sou chak mach nan de pwent yo. Pat gen ankenn lòt peyi ki te gen yon fotèy pou wa parèy ak sa a.
20 And all the vessels of the king’s table were of gold, and the vessels of the house of the forest of Libanus were of the purest gold. For no account was made of silver in those days.
Tout gode wa Salomon te sèvi pou l' bwè te fèt an lò. Tout bagay ki te sèvi nan Salon Rakbwa Peyi Liban an te fèt an bon lò. Yo pa t' sèvi ak ajan menm, paske sou rèy Salomon, ajan pa t' vo anyen.
21 For the king’s ships went to Tharsis with the servants of Hiram, once in three years: and they brought thence gold and silver, and ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
Li te gen yon kantite batiman pa l' ki t'ap vwayaje ale nan peyi Tasis. Se moun Iram yo ki te mennen yo pou li. Chak twazan, batiman yo te tounen chaje ak lò, ajan, kòn elefan, pan ak makak.
22 And Solomon was magnified above all the kings of the earth for riches and glory.
Wa Salomon te pi rich pase tout lòt wa yo. Li te gen plis bon konprann pase yo tout.
23 And all the kings of the earth desired to see the face of Solomon, that they might hear the wisdom which God had given in his heart.
Tout wa toupatou te vin wè Salomon pou tande bèl pawòl Bondye te mete nan bouch li.
24 And every year they brought him presents, vessels of silver and of gold, and garments, and armour, and spices, and horses, and mules.
Chak moun ki te vini te pote kado pou li, bagay ki fèt an ajan ak an lò, rad, zam, fèy santi bon, chwal ak milèt. Chak lanne se te konsa.
25 And Solomon had forty thousand horses in the stables, and twelve thousand chariots, and horsemen, and he placed them in the cities of the chariots, and where the king was in Jerusalem.
Salomon te gen katmil (4.000) kay kote li te mete chwal li yo ak cha lagè, ak douzmil (12.000) chwal pou sòlda kavalye yo. Li mete yon pòsyon nan lavil kote li te gen cha li yo, rès yo li mete yo lavil Jerizalèm bò kote l'.
26 And he exercised authority over all the kings from the river Euphrates to the land of the Philistines, and to the borders of Egypt.
Salomon te sèl chèf sou tout wa ki t'ap gouvènen depi larivyè Lefrat rive nan peyi Filisti, jouk sou fwontyè peyi Lejip.
27 And he made silver as plentiful in Jerusalem as stones: and cedars as common as the sycamores, which grow in the plains.
Pandan tout rèy li, ajan te tankou wòch lavil Jerizalèm. Bwa sèd menm, ou te jwenn sa an kantite tankou pye sikomò nan rakbwa nan plenn peyi Jida yo.
28 And horses were brought to him out of Egypt, and out of all countries.
Se nan peyi Lejip ak nan tout lòt peyi Salomon te fè chache chwal li yo.
29 Now the rest of the acts of Solomon first and last are written in the words of Nathan the prophet, and in the boobs of Ahias the Silonite, and in the vision of Addo the seer, against Jeroboam the son of Nabat.
Tout rès istwa Salomon an, depi premye jou li te moute wa a rive jouk dènye jwa a, nou jwenn li nan liv istwa pwofèt Natan, nan liv mesaj Akija, moun lavil Silo a, ak nan liv vizyon pwofèt Ido ki pale sou wa Jewoboram, pitit Nebat la.
30 And Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years.
Salomon te wa lavil Jerizalèm, li te gouvènen tout pèp Izrayèl la pandan karantan.
31 And he slept with his fathers: and they buried him in the city of David: and Roboam his son reigned in his stead.
Lè li mouri, yo antere l' nan lavil David, papa l'. Se Woboram, pitit li, ki moute wa nan plas li.
