< 1 Kings 10 >

1 The queen of Sheba heard how famous Solomon was, so she came to Jerusalem to test him with tough questions.
Nígbà tí ayaba Ṣeba gbọ́ òkìkí Solomoni àti ì bà ṣe pọ̀ rẹ̀ ní ti orúkọ Olúwa, ó sì wá láti dán an wò pẹ̀lú ìbéèrè líle.
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.
Ó sì wá sí Jerusalẹmu pẹ̀lú ẹgbẹ́ èrò ńlá ńlá, pẹ̀lú ìbákasẹ tí ó ru tùràrí, àti ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ wúrà, àti òkúta iyebíye, ó sì wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ Solomoni, ó sì bá a sọ gbogbo èyí tí ń bẹ ní ọkàn rẹ̀.
3 Solomon answered all her questions. There was nothing he couldn't explain to her.
Solomoni sì dáhùn gbogbo ìbéèrè rẹ̀; kò sì sí èyí tí ó ṣòro fún ọba láti ṣàlàyé fún un.
4 When the queen of Sheba saw Solomon's wisdom, and the palace he had built,
Nígbà tí ayaba Ṣeba sì rí gbogbo ọgbọ́n Solomoni àti ààfin tí ó ti kọ́.
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.
Oúnjẹ tí ó wà lórí i tábìlì rẹ̀, ìjókòó àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀, àti ìdúró àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ àti ìwọṣọ wọn, àwọn agbọ́tí rẹ̀, àti ẹbọ sísun tí ó sun ní ilé Olúwa, kò sì sí ẹ̀mí kan nínú rẹ̀ mọ́!
6 She told the king, “It's true what I heard in my own country about your proverbs and your wisdom!
Ó sì wí fún ọba pé, “Òtítọ́ ni ìròyìn tí mo gbọ́ ní orílẹ̀-èdè mi ní ti iṣẹ́ rẹ àti ọgbọ́n rẹ.
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!
Ṣùgbọ́n èmi kò sì gba nǹkan wọ̀nyí gbọ́ títí ìgbà tí mo wá, tí mo sì fi ojú ara mi rí i. Sì kíyèsi i, a kò sọ ìdajì wọn fún mi; ìwọ sì ti fi ọgbọ́n àti ìrora kọjá òkìkí tí mo gbọ́.
8 How happy your people must be! How happy those who work for you, who stand here every day listening to your wisdom!
Báwo ni inú àwọn ènìyàn rẹ yóò ṣe dùn tó! Báwo ni inú dídùn àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ, tí wọ́n ń dúró níwájú rẹ nígbà gbogbo, tí wọ́n sì ń gbọ́ ọgbọ́n rẹ!
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.”
Ìbùkún ni fún Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ, tí ó ní inú dídùn sí ọ, tí ó sì gbé ọ ka orí ìtẹ́ Israẹli. Nítorí tí Olúwa fẹ́ràn Israẹli títí láé, ni ó ṣe fi ọ́ jẹ ọba, láti ṣe ìdájọ́ àti òdodo.”
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.
Ó sì fún ọba ní ọgọ́fà tálẹ́ǹtì wúrà, tùràrí olóòórùn dídùn lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀, àti òkúta iyebíye. Kò sí irú ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ tùràrí tí a mú wá tí ó dàbí irú èyí tí ayaba Ṣeba fi fún Solomoni ọba.
11 (Hiram's fleet of ships brought gold from Ophir, and also carried algum wood and precious stones.
(Pẹ̀lúpẹ̀lú àwọn ọ̀wọ́-ọkọ̀ Hiramu tí ó mú wúrà láti Ofiri wá, wọ́n mú igi algumu lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀ àti òkúta oníyebíye láti Ofiri wá.
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.)
Ọba sì fi igi algumu náà ṣe òpó fún ilé Olúwa àti fún ààfin ọba, àti láti ṣe dùùrù pẹ̀lú àti ohun èlò orin olókùn fún àwọn akọrin. Irú igi algumu bẹ́ẹ̀ kò dé mọ́, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni a kò rí wọn títí di òní yìí.)
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.
Solomoni ọba sì fún ayaba Ṣeba ní gbogbo ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ àti ohun tí ó béèrè, yàtọ̀ sí èyí tí a fi fún un láti ọwọ́ Solomoni ọba wa. Nígbà náà ni ó yípadà, ó sì lọ sí ìlú rẹ̀, pẹ̀lú àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀.
14 The weight of gold that Solomon received each year was 666 talents,
Ìwọ̀n wúrà tí Solomoni ń gbà ní ọdún kan sì jẹ́ ọ̀tàlélẹ́gbẹ̀ta ó lé mẹ́fà tálẹ́ǹtì wúrà,
15 not including that received from traders and merchants, and all the kings of Arabia and governors of the land.
láìka èyí tí ó ń gbà lọ́wọ́ àwọn ajẹ́lẹ̀ àti àwọn oníṣòwò, àti ti gbogbo àwọn ọba Arabia, àti àwọn baálẹ̀ ilẹ̀.
16 King Solomon made two hundred shields of hammered gold. Each shield required six hundred shekels of hammered gold.
Solomoni ọba sì ṣe igba asà wúrà lílù; ẹgbẹ̀ta ṣékélì wúrà ni ó lọ sí asà kan.
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.
Ó sì túnṣe ọ̀ọ́dúnrún asà wúrà lílù, pẹ̀lú òsùwọ̀n wúrà mẹ́ta tí ó tàn sí asà kọ̀ọ̀kan. Ọba sì kó wọn sí ilé igbó Lebanoni.
18 The king also made a great throne of ivory, and covered it with pure gold.
Nígbà náà ni ọba sì ṣe ìtẹ́ eyín erin ńlá kan, ó sì fi wúrà dídára bò ó.
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.
Ìtẹ́ náà sì ní àtẹ̀gùn mẹ́fà, ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ sì ṣe róbótó lókè. Ní ibi ìjókòó méjèèjì náà ni ìrọpá wà, pẹ̀lú kìnnìún tí ó dúró lẹ́gbẹ̀ẹ́ ọ̀kọ̀ọ̀kan wọn.
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.
Kìnnìún méjìlá sì dúró níbi àtẹ̀gùn mẹ́fẹ̀ẹ̀fà, ọ̀kọ̀ọ̀kan ní òpin àtẹ̀gùn kọ̀ọ̀kan, kò tí ì sí irú rẹ̀ ní ìjọba kan rí.
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.
Gbogbo ohun èlò mímu Solomoni ọba sì jẹ́ wúrà àti gbogbo ohun èlò ààfin igbó Lebanoni sì jẹ́ kìkì wúrà. Kò sí nǹkan kan tí a fi fàdákà ṣe, nítorí a kò ka fàdákà sí nǹkan kan ní gbogbo ọjọ́ Solomoni.
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.
Ọba sì ní ọkọ̀ Tarṣiṣi kan pẹ̀lú ọkọ̀ Hiramu ní Òkun. Ẹ̀ẹ̀kan ní ọdún mẹ́ta ni ọkọ̀ Tarṣiṣi ń dé, tí ó ń mú wúrà àti fàdákà, eyín erin àti ìnàkí àti ẹyẹ-ológe wá.
23 King Solomon was greater than any other king on earth in wealth and wisdom.
Solomoni ọba sì pọ̀ ní ọrọ̀ àti ní ọgbọ́n ju gbogbo àwọn ọba ayé lọ.
24 The whole world wanted to meet Solomon to hear the wisdom that God had placed in his mind.
Gbogbo ayé sì ń wá ojú Solomoni láti gbọ́ ọgbọ́n tí Ọlọ́run ti fi sí i ní ọkàn.
25 Year after year, every visitor would bring gifts—articles of silver and gold, clothes, weapons, spices, horses, and mules.
Bí ọdún ṣe ń gorí ọdún olúkúlùkù àwọn tí ń wá sì ń mú ẹ̀bùn tirẹ̀ wá, ohun èlò fàdákà àti ohun èlò wúrà àti ẹ̀wù, àti tùràrí olóòórùn dídùn, ẹṣin àti ìbáaka.
26 Solomon accumulated 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horsemen. He kept them in the chariot towns, and also with him in Jerusalem.
Solomoni sì kó kẹ̀kẹ́ àti ẹṣin jọ; ó sì ní ẹgbàáje kẹ̀kẹ́ àti ẹgbàá mẹ́fà ẹlẹ́ṣin, tí ó fi pamọ́ sí ìlú kẹ̀kẹ́ àti pẹ̀lú ọba ní Jerusalẹmu.
27 The king made silver as plentiful in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar wood as plentiful as sycamore-figs in the foothills.
Ọba sì jẹ́ kí fàdákà pọ̀ ní Jerusalẹmu bí òkúta, àti igi kedari ni ó ṣe kí ó dàbí igi sikamore tí ń bẹ ní àfonífojì fún ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀.
28 Solomon's horses were imported from Egypt and Kue—the royal merchants purchased them in Kue.
A mú àwọn ẹṣin wá fún Solomoni láti Ejibiti àti láti Kue, oníṣòwò ọba rà wọ́n láti Kue fún owó.
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.
Wọ́n ń mú kẹ̀kẹ́ kan gòkè láti Ejibiti wá fún ẹgbẹ̀ta ṣékélì fàdákà àti ẹṣin kan fún àádọ́jọ. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n tún mú wọn wá fún ọba àwọn ọmọ Hiti àti ọba àwọn ọmọ Aramu.
