1 Kings 10
1 The queen of Sheba heard how famous Solomon was, so she came to Jerusalem to test him with tough questions.
Mootittiin Shebaa waaʼee maqaa Solomooniitii fi ulfina inni maqaa Waaqayyootiif qabuu dhageenyaan gaaffiiwwan jajjaboodhaan qortee isa ilaaluuf gara Solomoon dhufte.
2 She brought with her a very large entourage, with camels loaded with spices, large amounts of gold, and precious gemstones. She came to Solomon and asked him about everything she had on her mind.
Isheenis miiltoo akka malee baayʼee wajjin gaalawwan urgooftuu, warqee hedduu fi dhagaawwan gati jabeeyyii baatan fudhattee Yerusaalem dhufte; Solomoon bira geenyaanis waan garaa ishee jiru hunda isa wajjin haasofte.
3 Solomon answered all her questions. There was nothing he couldn't explain to her.
Solomoonis gaaffii ishee hundaaf deebii kenne; wanni mootichi isheef ibsuu dadhabe tokko iyyuu hin turre.
4 When the queen of Sheba saw Solomon's wisdom, and the palace he had built,
Mootittiin Shebaa yommuu ogummaa Solomoon, masaraa mootummaa kan inni ijaare,
5 the food on the table, how his officials lived, how his servants operated and how they were dressed, the clothes of the waiters, and the burnt offerings he presented at the Lord's Temple, she was so astonished she could hardly breathe.
nyaata maaddii isaa irratti dhiʼaatu, haala itti qondaaltonni isaa tataaʼan, hojjettoota uffata hojii uffatanii hojjetan, warra daadhii isaaf dhiʼeessanii fi aarsaa gubamu kan inni mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessatti dhiʼeesse argitetti akka malee dinqisiifatte.
6 She told the king, “It's true what I heard in my own country about your proverbs and your wisdom!
Isheenis mootichaan akkana jette; “Oduun ani waaʼee waan ati hojjetteetii fi waaʼee ogummaa keetii biyyuma kootti dhagaʼe sun dhugaa dha.
7 But I didn't believe what they told me until I came and saw with my own eyes. In fact, I wasn't told the half of it—the extent of your wisdom far exceeds what I heard!
Ani garuu hamman dhufee ijuma kootiin argutti wantoota kanneen hin amanne. Dhugumaan walakkaan isaa iyyuu natti hin himamne; ati ogummaa fi badhaadhummaadhaan oduu ani dhagaʼe sana akka malee caalta.
8 How happy your people must be! How happy those who work for you, who stand here every day listening to your wisdom!
Namoonni kee hammam haa gammadan! Qondaaltonni kee warri yeroo hunda fuula kee dura dhadhaabatanii ogummaa kee dhagaʼan hammam haa gammadan!
9 Praise the Lord your God who is so pleased with you, who placed you on his throne as king to rule on his behalf. Because of the love of your God for Israel he has made them secure forever, and he has made you king over them to do what is fair and right.”
Waaqayyo Waaqni kee inni sitti gammadee teessoo Israaʼel irra si teessise sun haa galateeffamu. Waaqayyo sababii Israaʼeliif jaalala bara baraa qabuuf akka ati murtii qajeelaa fi qajeelummaa eegduuf mootii si godheera.”
10 She presented the king with one hundred and twenty talents of gold, huge amounts of spices and precious stones. Never before had there been spices like those the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.
Isheenis warqee taalaantii 120, urgooftuu akka malee baayʼee fi dhagaawwan gati jabeeyyii mootichaaf kennite. Urgooftuun akka urgooftuu mootittiin Shebaa Solomoon Mootichaaf kennite sanaa baayʼatu gonkumaa ergasii hin fidamne.
11 (Hiram's fleet of ships brought gold from Ophir, and also carried algum wood and precious stones.
Dooniiwwan Hiiraam biyya Oofiir irraa warqee fidan; isaanis feʼiisa muka sandaliitii fi dhagaawwan gati jabeeyyii baayʼee achii ni fidan.
12 The king used the algum wood to make steps for the Temple and for the royal palace, and into lyres and harps for the musicians. Nothing like them had ever been seen before in the land of Judah.)
Mootichis muka sandalii sana utubaa mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootii fi kan masaraa mootummaa akkasumas baganaa fi kiraara faarfattootaa tolchuuf itti fayyadame. Mukni sandalii kan akkas baayʼatu ergasii hamma harʼaatti takkumaa alaa hin fidamne yookaan hin argamne.
13 King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba all she wanted, whatever she asked for. This was in addition to the usual gifts he had generously given her. Then she and her attendants returned home to her own country.
Solomoon Mootichis waan qabeenya mootummaa ofii isaa keessaa kenneef irratti dabalee waan isheen barbaaddee fi waan isheen kadhatte hunda mootittii Shebaatiif ni kenne. Isheenis ergasii kaatee miiltota ishee wajjin biyya ofii isheetti deebite.
14 The weight of gold that Solomon received each year was 666 talents,
Ulfinni warqee kan wagguma waggaan Solomooniif galu taalaantii 666 ture;
15 not including that received from traders and merchants, and all the kings of Arabia and governors of the land.
kunis gibira daldaltoota qabeenya gurguddaatii fi xixinnaa irraa argamuu fi galii inni mootota biyya Arabaa hundaa fi bulchitoota biyya keessaa irraa argatu hin dabalatu.
16 King Solomon made two hundred shields of hammered gold. Each shield required six hundred shekels of hammered gold.
Solomoon Mootichis warqee tumame irraa gaachanawwan gurguddaa dhibba lama ni tolche; tokkoon tokkoon gaachanawwan sanaas warqee saqilii dhibba jaʼa fixe.
17 He also made three hundred small shields of hammered gold. Each of these shields required three gold minas. The king placed them in the Palace of the Forest of Lebanon.
Akkasumas warqee tumame irraa gaachana xixinnaa dhibba sadii ni tolche; tokkoon tokkoon gaachana sanaas warqee minnaanii dhibba sadii fixe. Mootichis gaachanawwan kanneen masaraa mootummaa kan Bosona Libaanoon keessa ni kaaʼe.
18 The king also made a great throne of ivory, and covered it with pure gold.
Mootichis teessoo guddaa tokko ilka arbaa irraa hojjetee warqee qulqulluu itti uffise.
19 The throne had six steps, with a rounded top at the back. There were armrests on both sides of the seat, with lions standing beside the armrests.
Teessoon sun gulantaawwan jaʼa qaba ture; karaa dugda duubaatiin fiixee geengoo tokko qaba. Karaa teessoo sanaa lamaaniinis waan harka irra kaaʼatanitu ture; tokkoo tokkoo waan harka irra kaaʼatan sanaa biras fakkii leencaa tokko tokkotu dhaabatee ture.
20 Twelve lions stood on the six steps, one on opposite ends of each step. Nothing like this had ever been made for any kingdom.
Gulantaawwan jaʼaan sana irras leenconni kudha lama tokko fiixee tokkoon, fakkiin kaan immoo fiixee kaaniin dhadhaabachaa turan. Wanni akkasii takkumaa mootummaa biraa kamiif iyyuu hin tolfamne.
21 All of King Solomon's drinking cups were gold, and all the utensils of the Palace of the Forest of Lebanon were pure gold. No silver was used, because it was not valued in the days of Solomon.
Miʼi Solomoon Mootichi ittiin dhugu hundinuu warqee irraa hojjetame; miʼi masaraa mootummaa kan Bosona Libaanoon jedhamu sanaa hundi immoo warqee qulqulluu irraa hojjetame. Sababii bara Solomoon keessa meetiin akka waan gatii hin qabne tokkootti ilaalamaa tureef wanni tokko iyyuu meetii irraa hin hojjetamne.
22 The king had a fleet of ships from Tarshish crewed by Hiram's sailors. Once every three years the ships of Tarshish would arrive with a cargo of gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks.
Mootichis dooniiwwan Hiiraam gidduudhaa dooniiwwan daldalaa galaana irraa qaba ture. Isaanis waggaa sadii sadiitti yeroo tokko warqee, meetii fi ilka arbaa, qamalee fi jaldeessa fidanii ni dhufu ture.
23 King Solomon was greater than any other king on earth in wealth and wisdom.
Solomoon Mootichi badhaadhummaa fi ogummaadhaan mootota addunyaa hunda ni caala ture.
24 The whole world wanted to meet Solomon to hear the wisdom that God had placed in his mind.
Addunyaan hundinuu ogummaa Waaqni garaa isaa keessa kaaʼe dhagaʼuuf Solomoon bira dhufuu barbaada ture.
25 Year after year, every visitor would bring gifts—articles of silver and gold, clothes, weapons, spices, horses, and mules.
Namni waggaa waggaatti isa bira dhufu hundinuu kennaa miʼa meetii fi kan warqee, uffata, miʼa lolaa, urgooftuu, fardeenii fi gaangolii fidaafii ture.
26 Solomon accumulated 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horsemen. He kept them in the chariot towns, and also with him in Jerusalem.
Solomoonis gaariiwwanii fi fardeen walitti ni kuufate; innis gaariiwwan kuma tokkoo fi dhibba afurii fi fardeen kuma kudha lama qaba ture; isaan kanneenis magaalaawwan gaariiwwanii keessaa fi Yerusaalem keessa of bira ni kaaʼate.
27 The king made silver as plentiful in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar wood as plentiful as sycamore-figs in the foothills.
Mootichi akka meetiin Yerusaalem keessatti akkuma dhagaa baayʼatu, akka mukni birbirsaas akkuma mukkeen harbuu kanneen gaarran jalaatti baayʼatu godhe.
28 Solomon's horses were imported from Egypt and Kue—the royal merchants purchased them in Kue.
Fardeen Solomoon Gibxii fi Qaweedhaa fidaman; daldaltoota mootummaatu Qaweedhaa gatii yerootiin isaan bite.
29 A chariot imported from Egypt cost six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse a hundred and fifty. They also exported them to all the Hittite kings, and to the Aramean kings.
Isaanis gaarii tokko meetii saqilii dhibba jaʼaan, farda immoo meetii saqilii dhibba tokkoo fi shantamaan Gibxii bitanii fidan. Akkasumas gaariiwwanii fi fardeen kanneen erganii mootota Heetotaatii fi mootota Sooriyaa hundatti gurguru turan.
