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.
Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻae tuʻi fefine ʻo Sipa ki he ongoongo ʻo Solomone naʻa ne haʻu ki Selūsalema ke ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻa Solomone ʻaki ʻae ngaahi fehuʻi ʻilongataʻa, ko ia mo e fuʻu fononga tokolahi, mo e fanga kāmeli naʻe fetuku ʻae ngaahi meʻa namu kakala, mo e koula lahi ʻaupito, mo e ngaahi maka mahuʻinga: pea ʻi heʻene hoko mai kia Solomone, naʻa ne talanoa mo ia ki he meʻa kotoa pē naʻe ʻi hono loto.
2 And Solomon explained to her all that she proposed: and there was not any thing that he did not make clear unto her.
Pea naʻe tali ʻe Solomone ʻa ʻene ngaahi fehuʻi kotoa pē: pea naʻe ʻikai fufū meia Solomone ha meʻa ke ne taʻefakamatala ia kiate ia.
3 And when she had seen these things, to wit, the wisdom of Solomon, and the house which he had built,
Pea hili ʻae mamata ʻe he tuʻi fefine ʻo Sipa ki he poto kotoa pē ʻa Solomone, pea mo e fale ʻaia naʻa ne langa,
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.
Mo e meʻakai ʻi hono keinangaʻanga, mo e anga ʻoe nofo ʻa ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, mo e toutuʻu, ʻa ʻene kau tauhi, mo honau kofu: mo kinautolu foki naʻe tauhi ʻa ʻene meʻainu, mo honau kofu ʻonautolu, pea mo e hala ʻaia naʻa ne ʻalu hake ai ki he fale ʻo Sihova: naʻe vaivai ʻa hono loto ʻiate ia.
5 And she said to the king: The word is true which I heard in my country of thy virtues and wisdom.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia ki he tuʻi, “Ta ko e lea moʻoni ia ʻaia naʻaku fanongo ki ai ʻi hoku fonua ʻoʻoku, ki hoʻo ngaahi ngāue pea mo hoʻo poto.
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.
Ka naʻe ʻikai te u tui ki heʻenau lea, kaeʻoua ke u haʻu, pea mamata ki ai ʻa hoku mata: pea vakai, naʻe ʻikai tala mai hono vaheua ʻoe lahi ʻo hoʻo poto: he ʻoku ke lahi hake ʻi he ongoongo ko ia naʻaku fanongo ki ai.
7 Happy are thy men, and happy are thy servants, who stand always before thee, and hear thy wisdom.
ʻOku monūʻia ʻa hoʻo kau tangata, ʻoku monūʻia ʻa hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ko eni ʻoku tutuʻumaʻu aipe ʻi ho ʻao, ʻo [nau ]fanongo ki hoʻo poto.
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.
Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻaia kuo lōlōfie lelei kiate koe ke fakanofo koe ki hono nofoʻa fakatuʻi, ko e tuʻi maʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua: koeʻuhi naʻe ʻofa ʻa ho ʻOtua ki ʻIsileli, ke fokotuʻu ʻakinautolu ke taʻengata: ko ia naʻa ne fakanofo ai koe ke tuʻi kiate kinautolu, ke fai ʻae fakamaau mo e fai totonu.”
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.
Pea naʻa ne foaki ki he tuʻi ʻae taleniti koula ʻe teau ma uofulu, mo e ngaahi meʻa namu kakala fuʻu lahi ʻaupito, mo e ngaahi maka mahuʻinga: pea naʻe ʻikai ha ngaahi meʻa kakala ke tatau mo ia naʻe foaki kia Solomone ʻe he tuʻi fefine ʻo Sipa.
10 And the servants also of Hiram, with the servants of Solomon, brought gold from Ophir, and thyine trees, and most precious stones:
Pea ko e kau tamaioʻeiki foki ʻa Helami mo e kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa Solomone, ʻaia naʻe ʻomi ʻae koula mei Ofeli, naʻa [nau ]ʻomi ʻae ngaahi ʻakau ʻalikumi pea mo e ngaahi maka mahuʻinga.
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.
Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻe he tuʻi ʻaki ʻae ngaahi ʻakau ʻalikumi, ʻae ngaahi pou ki he fale ʻo Sihova, pea ki he fale ʻoe tuʻi, mo e ngaahi haʻape mo e ngaahi meʻa hiva maʻae kau fasi hiva: pea naʻe teʻeki ai ke mamata ʻe he fonua ʻo Siuta ki he ngaahi meʻa pehē.
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.
Pea naʻe foaki ʻe Solomone ki he tuʻi fefine ʻo Sipa ʻa ʻene holi kotoa pē, ʻae meʻa fulipē naʻa ne kole ki ai, ko e fakalahi ʻo ʻene [tali ʻae koloa ]naʻa ne fetuku mai ki he tuʻi. Pea pehē, naʻa ne liliu atu, ʻo ʻalu ki hono fonua ʻoʻona ʻaia mo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki.
13 And the weight of the gold, that was brought to Solomon every year, was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold:
Pea ko eni, ko hono mamafa ʻoe koula naʻe ʻomi kia Solomone ʻi he taʻu pe taha, ko e taleniti ʻe onongeau mo e onongofulu ma ono ʻoe koula:
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.
Ka naʻe lau kehe ʻaia naʻe fetuku mai ʻe he kau tangata naʻe fai ʻae fefakatauʻaki. Pea naʻe ʻomi ʻae koula mo e siliva kia Solomone ʻe he ngaahi tuʻi kotoa pē ʻo ʻAlepea, pea ʻe he kau pule ʻoe ngaahi vahe fonua.
15 And king Solomon made two hundred golden spears, of the sum of six hundred pieces of gold, which went to every spear:
Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻe Solomone ko e tuʻi ʻae ngaahi pā ʻe uangeau ʻaki ʻae koula naʻe tuki: ko e [sikeli ]ʻe onongeau ʻoe koula naʻe ʻi he pā pe taha.
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.
Pea naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae ngaahi pā iiki ʻe tolungeau ʻaki ʻae koula naʻe tuki: ko e [sikeli ]ʻe tolungeau ʻoe koula naʻe ʻi he pā pe taha. Pea naʻe tuku ia ʻe he tuʻi ki he fale ʻi he vao ʻakau ʻo Lepanoni.
17 The king also made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold.
Naʻe ngaohi foki ʻe he tuʻi ha fuʻu nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻaki ʻae lei, pea naʻa ne ʻaofi ʻaki ia ʻae koula lelei lahi.
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:
Naʻe ai ʻae lakaʻanga ʻe ono ke [ʻalu hake ai ]ki he nofoʻa fakatuʻi, mo e tuʻunga vaʻe koula, ʻaia naʻe fakamaʻu ki he nofoʻa fakatuʻi, mo e ʻaiʻanga nima ʻi hono potu kaokao ʻe ua ʻoe hekaʻanga, mo e laione ʻe ua naʻe tuʻu ofi ki he ʻaiʻanga nima:
19 Moreover twelve other little lions standing upon the steps on both sides: there was not such a throne in any kingdom.
Pea naʻe tuʻu ʻi hono potu ʻe taha ʻae laione ʻe hongofulu ma ua, pea ʻi he potu kehe ʻe taha ʻi he lakaʻanga ʻe ono. Naʻe ʻikai ngaohi hano tatau ʻi ha puleʻanga.
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.
Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻaki ʻae koula ʻae ngaahi ipu inu kotoa pē ʻoe tuʻi ko Solomone, pea naʻe ʻoe koula lelei ʻae ngaahi ipu kotoa pē ʻoe fale ʻi he vao ʻakau ʻo Lepanoni: naʻe ʻikai ha taha ʻoe siliva: he naʻe ʻikai lau ia ko e meʻa mahuʻinga ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Solomone.
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.
He naʻe ʻalu ʻae folau ʻae tuʻi ki Tasisi fakataha mo e kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa Helami: naʻe haʻu tuʻo taha ʻi he taʻu ʻe tolu ʻae folau mei Tasisi, ke ʻomi ʻae koula, mo e siliva, mo e lei, mo e fanga ngeli, pea mo e fanga pikoka.
22 And Solomon was magnified above all the kings of the earth for riches and glory.
Pea naʻe lahi hake ʻae maʻu koloa mo e poto ʻa Solomone ʻi he ngaahi tuʻi kotoa pē ʻo māmani.
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.
Pea naʻe holi ke haʻu ki he ʻao ʻo Solomone ʻe he ngaahi tuʻi kotoa pē ʻo māmani, ke fanongo ki heʻene poto, ʻaia naʻe tuku ki hono loto ʻe he ʻOtua.
24 And every year they brought him presents, vessels of silver and of gold, and garments, and armour, and spices, and horses, and mules.
Pea naʻa nau ʻomi ʻe he tangata taki taha ʻa ʻene meʻaʻofa, ko e ngaahi meʻa siliva, mo e ngaahi meʻa koula, mo e ngaahi kofu, mo e ngaahi mahafutau, mo e meʻa namu kakala, mo e fanga hoosi, mo e fanga miuli, ko e tukuhau ʻi he taʻu kotoa pē.
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.
Pea naʻe maʻu ʻe Solomone ʻae potu fale tuʻuʻanga ʻe fā afe ki he fanga hoosi mo e ngaahi saliote, pea mo e kau heka hoosi ʻe taha mano mo e ua afe: ʻaia naʻa ne vahevahe [ke nofo ]ʻi he ngaahi kolo saliote, pea ki he tuʻi ʻi Selūsalema.
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.
Pea naʻa ne pule ki he ngaahi tuʻi kotoa pē mei he vaitafe ʻo aʻu atu ki he fonua ʻoe kakai Filisitia, pea ʻe aʻu ki he mata fonua ʻo ʻIsipite.
27 And he made silver as plentiful in Jerusalem as stones: and cedars as common as the sycamores, which grow in the plains.
Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻae siliva ʻe he tuʻi ke tatau ʻi Selūsalema mo e ngaahi maka, pea ko e ngaahi ʻakau sita naʻe hangē ia ko e ngaahi ʻakau sukamino ʻaia naʻe ʻi he ngaahi potu tokalelei, ʻi hono lahi ʻaupito.
28 And horses were brought to him out of Egypt, and out of all countries.
Pea naʻa nau ʻomi kia Solomone ʻae fanga hoosi mei ʻIsipite, pea mei he ngaahi fonua kotoa pē.
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.
Pea ko eni ko hono toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue ʻa Solomone, mei he ʻuluaki ki he kimui, ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi ʻa Natani ko e palōfita, pea ʻi he kikite ʻo ʻAhisa ko e tangata Sailo, pea ʻi he ngaahi kikite ʻo Ito ko e tangata kikite naʻe valoki kia Selopoami ko e foha ʻo Nipati?
30 And Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years.
Pea naʻe pule ʻa Solomone ʻi Selūsalema ki ʻIsileli kātoa ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngofulu.
31 And he slept with his fathers: and they buried him in the city of David: and Roboam his son reigned in his stead.
Pea naʻe mohe ʻa Solomone mo ʻene ngaahi tamai pea naʻe fai hono putu ʻi he “Kolo ʻo Tevita” ko ʻene tamai: pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe hono foha ko Lehopoami.
