2 Chronicles 9
1 The queen of Sheba heard how famous Solomon was, so she came to Jerusalem to test him with tough questions. 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.
Kane ruoth madhako mar Sheba owinjo humb Solomon, nobiro Jerusalem mondo ruoth oteme gi penj matek. Nobiro gi ji kod gik moko mangʼeny kaka ngamia motingʼo gik mangʼwe ngʼar, dhahabu mangʼeny, kaachiel gi kite ma nengogi tek. Nobiro ir Solomon ma owuoyo kode kuom gima noparo.
2 Solomon answered all her questions. There was nothing he couldn't explain to her.
Solomon nodwoko penjoge duto maonge matek mane ok onyal dwoke.
3 When the queen of Sheba saw Solomon's wisdom, and the palace he had built,
Kane ruoth madhako mar Sheba oneno rieko Solomon kaachiel kod ode mar dak manosegero,
4 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.
gi chiemo mane ni e mesane, gi bet mar jodonge, gi rwakruok mar jotije mapogo chiemo, gi rwakruok mar jotije machiwo divai kod misango miwangʼo pep mane otimo e hekalu Jehova Nyasaye, dhoge nomoko.
5 She told the king, “It's true what I heard in my own country about your proverbs and your wisdom!
Nowachone ruoth niya, “Kare humb timbeni kod riekoni mane awinjo e pinya awuon en adier!
6 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!
To ne ok ayie gi weche mane giwacho nyaka nabiro maneno gi wangʼa awuon. Adier kata nus mar duongʼ riekoni ne ok onyisa; iriek moloyo humbi manyocha awinjo.
7 How happy your people must be! How happy those who work for you, who stand here every day listening to your wisdom!
Mano kaka jogi mor manade! En mor manade ne jotendi mosiko kachungʼ e nyimi kendo winjo riekoni!
8 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.”
Pak odogne Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachi mosebedo mamor kodi moketi e kom lochne kaka ruoth mondo itine Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachi. Nikech hera ma Nyasachi oherogo Israel to gi dwarone mondo oritgi nyaka chiengʼ omiyo oseketi ruodhgi mondo ingʼad bura makare.”
9 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.
Eka nomiyo ruoth dhahabu ma pekne romo kilo alufu angʼwen mia abich, gi gik mangʼeny mangʼwe ngʼar kaachiel gi kite ma nengogi tek. Ne pok obetie gik mangʼeny mangʼwe ngʼar marom gi mago mane Ruoth madhako mar Sheba omiyo Ruoth Solomon.
10 (Hiram and of Solomon's men, who brought gold from Ophir, also brought algum wood and precious stones.
(Jo-Hiram kod jo-Solomon nokelo dhahabu moa Ofir bende negikelo yiend Algumo kod kite ma nengogi tek.
11 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.)
Ruoth notiyo gi yiend Algumo kuom loso raidhi mag hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye kaachiel gi ode mar loch bende notiyo kodgi kuom loso nyatiti kod orutu ni jothum. Yien machalo kama ne pod ok one e piny Juda nyaka nene.)
12 King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba all wanted, whatever she asked for. This was far more than she had brought the king. Then she and her attendants returned home to her own country.
Ruoth Solomon nomiyo ruoth madhako mar Sheba gik moko duto mane chunye dwaro kendo mane okwayo; kendo nomiye gik moko mangʼeny moloyo gik mane okelone. Eka nowuok mi odok e pinye kaachiel gi jotije.
13 The weight of gold that Solomon received each year was 666 talents,
Pek dhahabu mane Solomon yudo higa ka higa ne nyalo romo kilo alufu piero ariyo gabich,
14 not including that received from traders and merchants. All the kings of Arabia and governors of the land also brought gold and silver to Solomon.
ka ok okwan mago mag osuch jo-ohala gi johono. To ruodhi mag piny Arabu kod jotend piny bende nokelone Solomon dhahabu kod fedha.
15 King Solomon made two hundred shields of hammered gold. Each shield required six hundred shekels of hammered gold.
Ruoth Solomon nochwogo kuodi madongo mia ariyo mag dhahabu kendo kuot ka kuot nochwog gi dhahabu ma pekne romo kilo adek gi nus.
16 He also made three hundred small shields of hammered gold. Each of these shields required three hundred gold coins. The king placed them in the Palace of the Forest of Lebanon.
Bende nochwogo okumbni matindo mia adek mobaw gi dhahabu, okumba ka okumba nobaw gi dhahabu ma pekne romo kilo adek gi nus. Magi duto ruoth noketo e ode manogero e Bungu mag Lebanon.
17 The king also made a great throne of ivory, and covered it with pure gold.
Eka ruoth noloso kom loch maduongʼ ma iye obaw gi lak liech kendo ngʼeye obaw gi dhahabu mopwodhi.
18 The throne had six steps, with a golden footstool attached. There were armrests on both sides of the seat, with lions standing beside the armrests.
Kom duongʼno ne nigi raidhi mag kuonde minyono auchiel gi raten tielo mar dhahabu mane ochuog kuome. Bethene ariyo ne nigi bede miyienge bat, ka kido mar sibuor molosi ochungʼ e bath moro ka moro.
19 Twelve lions stood on the six steps, one on opposite ends of each step. Nothing like this had ever been made for any kingdom.
Kido mar sibuoche apar gariyo nochungi e kuonde auchiel minyono kiidho kidhi e kom duongʼ ka moro ka moro ochungi e giko raidh auchiel koni gi koni. Onge pinyruoth moro amora manoseloso kom ruoth machalo kama.
20 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.
Kikombe duto mag Ruoth Solomon nolos gi dhahabu, kod gige ot duto mokonyorego e ode mane ni e Bungu mag Lebanon nolos gi dhahabu mopwodhi. Onge gima nolos gi fedha nikech fedha nokaw ni nengone yot e kinde Solomon.
21 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.
Ruoth ne nigi yiedhi mangʼeny mag ohala mane jo-Hiram kwangʼ-go. Dichiel bangʼ higni adek ka higni adek negidwogo ka gitingʼo dhahabu gi fedha gi leke liech gi ongʼeche kod bimbe.
22 King Solomon was greater than any other king on earth in wealth and wisdom.
Ruoth Solomon ne nigi mwandu mangʼeny kod rieko moloyo ruodhi mamoko duto mag piny.
23 All the kings of the earth wanted to meet Solomon to hear the wisdom that God had placed in his mind.
Ruodhi duto mag pinje ne biro ir Solomon mondo oyud rieko mane Nyasaye oketo e chunye.
24 Year after year, every visitor would bring gifts—articles of silver and gold, clothes, weapons, spices, horses, and mules.
Higa ka higa, ngʼato ka ngʼato manobiro nokelo mich kaka gik molos gi fedha kod dhahabu, kandho, gige lweny, gik mangʼwe ngʼar, farese kod punde.
25 Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen. He kept them in the chariot towns, and also with him in Jerusalem.
Solomon ne nigi udi alufu angʼwen mag farese kod geche lweny kaachiel gi farese alufu apar gariyo manokano e mier madongo mag geche lweny to moko bende ne en-go Jerusalem.
26 He ruled over all the kings from the Euphrates River to the land of the Philistines, and to the border with Egypt.
Norito ruodhi manie bwo lochne chakre Aora Yufrate nyaka e piny jo-Filistia nyaka chop e giko tongʼ gi kod Misri.
27 The king made silver as plentiful in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar wood as plentiful as sycamore-figs in the foothills.
Ruoth nomiyo fedha obedo manwangʼo yot ka kidi akida Jerusalem kendo yiend sida ne ngʼeny mana ka yiend ngʼowu ma otwi e got.
28 Solomon's horses were imported from Egypt and from many other lands.
Solomon nokelo farese koa Misri kod pinje mamoko duto.
29 The rest of the acts of Solomon, from start to finish, are written in the Records of Nathan the Prophet, in the Prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the Visions of Iddo the Seer about Jeroboam, son of Nebat.
Weche moko duto mag loch Solomon, chakruokgi nyaka gikogi, donge ondikgi e kitabu mar Nathan janabi, e kitabu motingʼo weche Ahija ja-Shilo kod e kitap Ido janeno manofwenyorene kuom Jeroboam wuod Nebat?
30 Solomon ruled in Jerusalem over all of Israel for forty years.
Solomon nobedo ruodh jo-Israel duto ka en Jerusalem kuom higni piero angʼwen.
31 Then Solomon died and was buried in the city of his father David. His son Rehoboam took over as king.
Eka notho moyweyo gi kwerene mi noyike e dala Daudi wuon-gi. Rehoboam wuode nobedo ruoth kare.
