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.
Nígbà tí ayaba Ṣeba gbọ́ nípa òkìkí Solomoni, ó sì wá sí Jerusalẹmu láti dán an wò pẹ̀lú ìbéèrè tí ó le. Ó dé pẹ̀lú ẹgbẹ́ ńlá kan pẹ̀lú ìbákasẹ tí ó ru tùràrí, ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ iye wúrà, àti òkúta iyebíye, ó wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ Solomoni ó sì sọ̀rọ̀ pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ nípa gbogbo ohun tí ó ní lọ́kàn rẹ̀.
2 Solomon answered all her questions. There was nothing he couldn't explain to her.
Solomoni sì dá a lóhùn gbogbo ìbéèrè rẹ̀; kò sì sí èyíkéyìí tí kò lè ṣe àlàyé fún.
3 When the queen of Sheba saw Solomon's wisdom, and the palace he had built,
Nígbà tí ayaba Ṣeba rí ọgbọ́n Solomoni àti pẹ̀lú ilé tí ó ti kọ́,
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.
oúnjẹ tí ó wà lórí tábìlì rẹ̀, àti ìjókòó àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀, àti dídúró àwọn ìránṣẹ́ nínú aṣọ wọn, àti àwọn agbọ́tí nínú aṣọ wọn àti ẹbọ sísun tí ó ṣe ní ilé Olúwa, ó sì dá a lágara fún ìyàlẹ́nu.
5 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, “Ìròyìn tí mo gbọ́ ní ìlú mi nípa iṣẹ́ rẹ àti ọgbọ́n rẹ, òtítọ́ ni.
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!
Ṣùgbọ́n èmi kò gba ohun tí wọ́n sọ gbọ́ àyàfi ìgbà tí mó dé ibí tí mo sì ri pẹ̀lú ojú mi. Nítòótọ́, kì í tilẹ̀ ṣe ìdájọ́ ìdajì títóbi ọgbọ́n rẹ ní a sọ fún mi: ìwọ ti tàn kọjá òkìkí tí mo gbọ́.
7 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 ọkùnrin rẹ ìbá ṣe dùn tó! Báwo ní dídùn inú àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ, àwọn tí n dúró nígbà gbogbo níwájú rẹ láti gbọ́ ọgbọ́n rẹ!
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.”
Ìyìn ló yẹ fún Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ, ẹni tí ó ní inú dídùn nínú rẹ tí ó sì gbé ọ ka orí ìtẹ́ ìjọba rẹ̀ láti jẹ ọba fún Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ. Nítorí ìfẹ́ Ọlọ́run rẹ fún Israẹli láti fi ìdí wọn kalẹ̀ láéláé, ó sì ti fi ọ́ ṣe ọba lórí wọn, láti ṣe ìdájọ́ àti òtítọ́.”
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.
Nígbà náà ni ó sì fún ọba ní ọgọ́fà tálẹ́ǹtì wúrà. Ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ iye tùràrí, àti òkúta iyebíye. Kò sì tí ì sí irú tùràrí yí gẹ́gẹ́ bí èyí tí ayaba Ṣeba fi fún ọba Solomoni.
10 (Hiram and of Solomon's men, who brought gold from Ophir, also brought algum wood and precious stones.
Àwọn ènìyàn Hiramu àti àwọn ọkùnrin Solomoni gbé wúrà wá láti Ofiri, wọ́n sì tún gbé igi algumu pẹ̀lú àti òkúta iyebíye wá.
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.)
Ọba sì lo igi algumu náà láti fi ṣe àtẹ̀gùn fún ilé Olúwa àti fún ilé ọba àti láti fi ṣe dùùrù àti ohun èlò orin olókùn fún àwọn akọrin. Kò sì ṣí irú rẹ̀ tí a ti rí rí ní ilẹ̀ Juda.
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.
Ọba Solomoni fún ayaba Ṣeba ní gbogbo ohun tí ó béèrè fún àti ohun tí ó wù ú; ó sì fi fún un ju èyí tí ó mú wá fún un lọ. Nígbà náà ni ó lọ ó sì padà pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ sí ìlú rẹ̀.
13 The weight of gold that Solomon received each year was 666 talents,
Ìwọ̀n wúrà tí Solomoni gbà ní ọdún kan sì jẹ́ ọ̀tàlélẹ́gbẹ̀ta ó lé mẹ́fà tálẹ́ǹtì,
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.
láì tí ì ka àkójọpọ̀ owó ìlú tí ó wọlé láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn oníṣòwò àti àwọn ọlọ́jà. Àti pẹ̀lú gbogbo àwọn ọba Arabia àti àwọn baálẹ̀ ilẹ̀ náà mu wúrà àti fàdákà wá fún Solomoni.
15 King Solomon made two hundred shields of hammered gold. Each shield required six hundred shekels of hammered gold.
Ọba Solomoni sì ṣe igba asà wúrà lílù; ẹgbẹ̀ta ṣékélì tí a fi òlùlù wúrà sí ọ̀kánkán asà.
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.
Ó sì ti ṣe ọ̀ọ́dúnrún kékeré ṣékélì tí a fi òlùlù wúrà, pẹ̀lú ọ̀ọ́dúnrún ṣékélì wúrà nínú àpáta kọ̀ọ̀kan. Ọba sì kó wọn sínú ààfin ti ó wà ní igbó Lebanoni.
17 The king also made a great throne of ivory, and covered it with pure gold.
Nígbà náà ọba sì ṣe ìtẹ́ pẹ̀lú eyín erin ńlá kan ó sì fi wúrà tó mọ́ bò ó.
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.
Ìtẹ́ náà sì ní àtẹ̀gùn mẹ́fà, àti pẹ̀lú àpótí ìtìsẹ̀ wúrà kan ni a dè mọ́ ọn. Ní ìhà méjèèjì ibi ìjókòó ní ó ní ìgbọ́wọ́lé, pẹ̀lú kìnnìún tí ó dúró lẹ́bàá olúkúlùkù wọn.
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.
Kìnnìún méjìlá dúró lórí àtẹ̀gùn mẹ́ta, ọ̀kan àti ní ìhà olúkúlùkù àtẹ̀gùn kò sì sí irú rẹ̀ tí a ti ṣe rí fún ìjọba mìíràn.
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.
Gbogbo ohun èlò mímú ìjọba Solomoni ọba ni ó jẹ́ kìkì wúrà, àti gbogbo ohun èlò ààfin ní igbó Lebanoni ni ó jẹ́ wúrà mímọ́. Kò sì ṣí èyí tí a fi fàdákà ṣe, nítorí a kò ka fàdákà sí nǹkan kan ní gbogbo ọjọ́ Solomoni.
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.
Ọba ní ọkọ̀ tí a fi ń tajà tí àwọn ọkùnrin Hiramu ń bojútó. Ẹ̀ẹ̀kan ní ọdún mẹ́ta ni ó máa ń padà, ó ń gbé wúrà àti fàdákà àti eyín erin àti ìnàkí.
22 King Solomon was greater than any other king on earth in wealth and wisdom.
Ọba Solomoni sì tóbi nínú ọláńlá àti ọgbọ́n ju gbogbo àwọn ọba tí ó kù lórí ilẹ̀ ayé lọ.
23 All the kings of the earth wanted to meet Solomon to hear the wisdom that God had placed in his mind.
Gbogbo àwọn ọba ayé ń wá ojúrere lọ́dọ̀ Solomoni láti gbọ́n ọgbọ́n tí Ọlọ́run ti fi sínú ọkàn rẹ̀.
24 Year after year, every visitor would bring gifts—articles of silver and gold, clothes, weapons, spices, horses, and mules.
Ní ọdọọdún, olúkúlùkù ẹni tí o wá mú ẹ̀bùn ohun èlò wúrà àti fàdákà àti aṣọ ìbora, ìhámọ́ra, àti tùràrí, àti ẹṣin àti ìbáaka wá.
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.
Solomoni sì ní ẹgbàajì ilé fún àwọn ẹṣin àti kẹ̀kẹ́, àti ẹgbàá mẹ́fà àwọn ẹṣin, tí ó fi pamọ́ nínú ìlú kẹ̀kẹ́ àti pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ nínú Jerusalẹmu.
26 He ruled over all the kings from the Euphrates River to the land of the Philistines, and to the border with Egypt.
Ó sì jẹ ọba lórí gbogbo àwọn ọba láti odò Eufurate títí dé ilé àwọn ará Filistini àti títí ó fi dé agbègbè ti Ejibiti.
27 The king made silver as plentiful in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar wood as plentiful as sycamore-figs in the foothills.
Ọba sì sọ fàdákà dàbí òkúta ní Jerusalẹmu, àti igi kedari ni ó sì ṣe bí igi sikamore, tí ó wà ní pẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀ ní ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀.
28 Solomon's horses were imported from Egypt and from many other lands.
A sì mú àwọn ẹṣin Solomoni wa láti ilẹ̀ òkèrè láti Ejibiti àti láti gbogbo ìlú.
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.
Àti gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìyókù iṣẹ́ ìjọba Solomoni, láti ìbẹ̀rẹ̀ títí dé òpin, ṣé a kò kọ wọ́n sínú ìwé ìtàn Natani wòlíì, àti nínú ìsọtẹ́lẹ̀ Ahijah ará Ṣilo àti nínú ìran Iddo, wòlíì tí o so nípa Jeroboamu ọmọ Nebati?
30 Solomon ruled in Jerusalem over all of Israel for forty years.
Solomoni jẹ ọba ní Jerusalẹmu lórí gbogbo àwọn Israẹli fún ogójì ọdún
31 Then Solomon died and was buried in the city of his father David. His son Rehoboam took over as king.
Solomoni sì sùn pẹ̀lú àwọn baba rẹ̀, a sì sin ín ní ìlú Dafidi baba rẹ̀, Rehoboamu, ọmọ rẹ̀ sì jẹ ọba ní ipò rẹ̀.
