1 Kings 10
1 And the Queene of Sheba hearing ye fame of Salomon (concerning the Name of the Lord) came to proue him with hard questions.
Mfumu yayikazi ya ku Seba itamva za kutchuka kwa Solomoni ndi za ubale wake ndi Yehova, inabwera kudzamuyesa ndi mafunso okhwima.
2 And she came to Ierusalem with a verie great traine, and camels that bare sweete odours, and golde exceeding much, and precious stones: and shee came to Salomon, and communed with him of all that was in her heart.
Inafika mu Yerusalemu ndi gulu lalikulu la ngamira zonyamula zokometsera zakudya, golide wambiri ndi miyala yokongola. Inafika kwa Solomoni ndipo inayankhula naye zonse zimene zinali mu mtima mwake.
3 And Salomon declared vnto her all her questions: nothing was hid from the King, which he expounded not vnto her.
Solomoni anayankha mafunso ake onse ndipo panalibe kanthu kalikonse kovuta komwe sanathe kufotokozera mfumu yayikaziyo.
4 Then the Queene of Sheba sawe all Salomons wisedome, and the house that he had built,
Mfumu yayikazi ya ku Seba itaona nzeru zonse za Solomoni ndiponso nyumba yaufumu imene anamanga,
5 And the meate of his table, and the sitting of his seruants, and the order of his ministers, and their apparel, and his drinking vessels, and his burnt offrings, that he offered in the house of the Lord, and she was greatly astonied.
chakudya cha pa tebulo pake, moyo wa antchito ake ndi zovala zawo, atumiki opereka zakumwa, ndiponso nsembe zopsereza zimene ankapereka ku Nyumba ya Yehova, inathedwa nzeru.
6 And shee sayde vnto the King, It was a true worde that I heard in mine owne lande of thy sayings, and of thy wisedome.
Iyo inati kwa mfumu, “Mbiri imene ndinamva ndili ku dziko kwathu ya zomwe munachita komanso nzeru zanu ndi yoona.
7 Howebeit I beleeued not this report till I came, and had seene it with mine eyes: but lo, ye one halfe was not tolde mee: for thou hast more wisedome and prosperitie, then I haue heard by report.
Koma sindinakhulupirire zinthu zimenezo mpaka nditafika ndi kuona ndi maso anga. Kunena zoona sanandiwuze ngakhale theka lomwe, pakuti nzeru ndi chuma zimene muli nazo zaposa zimene ndinamva.
8 Happy are the men, happie are these thy seruants, which stande euer before thee, and heare thy wisedome.
Ngodala anthu anu! Ngodala atumiki anu amene amayimirira pamaso panu nthawi zonse ndi kumamva nzeru zanu!
9 Blessed be the Lord thy God, which loued thee, to set thee on the throne of Israel, because the Lord loued Israel for euer and made thee King to doe equitie and righteousnesse.
Atamandike Yehova Mulungu wanu amene wakondwera nanu nakukhazikani pa mpando waufumu wa Israeli. Chifukwa cha chikondi chake chamuyaya pa Israeli, wayika inu kuti mukhale mfumu kuti mulamulire moyenera ndi mwachilungamo.”
10 And she gaue the King sixe score talents of golde, and of sweete odours exceeding much, and precious stones. There came no more such aboundance of sweete odours, as the Queene of Sheba gaue to King Salomon.
Ndipo mfumu yayikaziyo inapatsa Solomoni golide wolemera makilogalamu 4,000, zokometsera zakudya zambirimbiri, ndiponso miyala yokongola. Sikunabwerenso zokometsera zakudya ngati zomwe mfumu yayikazi ya ku Seba inapatsa Mfumu Solomoni.
11 The nauie also of Hiram (that caried gold from Ophir) brought likewise great plentie of Almuggim trees from Ophir and precious stones.
(Ndiponso sitima zapamadzi za Hiramu zinabweretsa golide wochokera ku Ofiri. Ndipo kuchokera kumeneko kunabweranso mitengo yambiri ya alimugi ndi miyala yokongola.
12 And the King made of ye Almuggim trees pillars for the house of the Lord, and for ye Kings palace, and made harpes and psalteries for singers. There came no more such Almuggim trees, nor were any more seene vnto this day.
Mfumu inagwiritsa ntchito mitengo ya alimugi ngati yochirikizira Nyumba ya Yehova ndi nyumba yaufumu, ndipo anapangiranso azeze ndi apangwe a anthu oyimba. Mitengo yotere sinayitanitsidweponso kapena kuoneka mpaka lero lino).
13 And King Salomon gaue vnto the Queene of Sheba, whatsoeuer she would aske, besides that, which Salomon gaue her of his kingly liberalitie: so she returned and went to her owne countrey, both shee, and her seruantes.
Mfumu Solomoni inapereka kwa mfumu yayikazi ya ku Seba zonse zimene inazifuna ndi kuzipempha, osawerengera mphatso zaufumu zimene anali atamupatsa. Choncho inabwerera ku dziko la kwawo pamodzi ndi atumiki ake.
14 Also the weight of golde, that came to Salomon in one yeere, was sixe hundreth three score and six talents of gold,
Golide amene Solomoni ankalandira pa chaka ankalemera makilogalamu 23,000,
15 Besides that he had of marchant men and of the marchandises of them that solde spices, and of all the Kinges of Arabia, and of the princes of the countrey.
osawerengera misonkho imene anthu odzacheza ndi amalonda amapereka. Golide wina ankachokera kwa mafumu onse a ku Arabiya ndi kwa abwanamkubwa a mʼdzikomo.
16 And King Salomon made two hundreth targets of beaten golde, sixe hundreth shekels of gold went to a target:
Mfumu Solomoni anapanga zishango zikuluzikulu 200 zagolide. Chishango chilichonse chimapangidwa ndi golide wolemera makilogalamu atatu ndi theka.
17 And three hundreth shieldes of beaten golde, three pound of gold went to one shielde: and the King put them in the house of the wood of Lebanon.
Anapanganso zishango zingʼonozingʼono 300 zagolide. Chishango chilichonse chimapangidwa ndi golide wolemera kilogalamu imodzi ndi theka. Ndipo mfumu inayika zishangozo mʼnyumba yake yotchedwa Nyumba ya Nkhalango ya Lebanoni.
18 Then the King made a great throne of yuorie, and couered it with the best golde.
Mfumu inapangitsanso mpando waufumu waukulu wa minyanga ya njovu, ndipo inawukutira ndi golide wabwino kwambiri.
19 And the throne had six steps, and the top of the throne was round behind, and there were stayes on either side on the place of the throne, and two lions standing by the stayes.
Mpando waufumuwo unali ndi makwerero asanu ndi limodzi, ndipo chotsamira chake chinali chozungulira pamwamba pake. Mʼmbali zonse za mpandowo munali zosanjikapo manja, pamodzi ndi chifaniziro cha mkango mbali iliyonse.
20 And there stoode twelue lions on the sixe steps on either side: there was not the like made in any kingdome.
Mikango khumi ndi iwiri inayimirira pa makwerero asanu ndi limodziwo; mkango umodzi mbali iliyonse ya makwererowa. Mpando woterewu sunapangidwepo mu ufumu wina uliwonse.
21 And all King Salomons drinking vessels were of golde, and all the vessels of the house of the woode of Lebanon were of pure golde, none were of siluer: for it was nothing esteemed in the dayes of Salomon.
Zomwera zonse za Mfumu Solomoni zinali zagolide, ziwiya zonse za Nyumba Yaufumu ya Nkhalango ya Lebanoni zinali zagolide weniweni. Panalibe chimene chinapangidwa ndi siliva chifukwa siliva sankayesedwa kanthu pa nthawi ya Solomoni.
22 For the King had on the sea the nauie of Tharshish with the nauie of Hiram: once in three yere came the nauie of Tharshish, and brought golde and siluer, yuorie, and apes and peacockes.
Mfumu inali ndi sitima zapamadzi zomwe zinali pa nyanja pamodzi ndi sitima za Hiramu. Kamodzi pakapita zaka zitatu zinkabwera zitanyamula golide, siliva ndi minyanga ya njovu, anyani ndi apusi.
23 So King Salomon exceeded all the kings of the earth both in riches and in wisedome.
Mfumu Solomoni inali yopambana pa chuma ndi pa nzeru kuposa mafumu ena onse pa dziko lapansi.
24 And al the world sought to see Salomon, to heare his wisedome, which God had put in his heart,
Anthu onse a dziko lapansi ankafunafuna kuyankhulana ndi Solomoni kuti amve nzeru zimene Mulungu anayika mu mtima mwake.
25 And they brought euery man his present, vessels of siluer, and vessels of golde, and raiment, and armour, and sweete odours, horses and mules, from yeere to yeere.
Chaka ndi chaka aliyense amene amabwera ankabweretsa mphatso za siliva ndi golide, mikanjo, zida zankhondo ndi zokometsera zakudya, akavalo ndi abulu.
26 Then Salomon gathered together charrets and horsemen: and he had a thousand and foure hundreth charets, and twelue thousande horsemen, whome hee placed in the charet cities, and with the King at Ierusalem.
Solomoni anasonkhanitsa magaleta ndi akavalo; anali ndi magaleta 1,400 ndiponso oyendetsa akavalo 12,000, zimene anazisunga mʼmizinda ya magaleta ndiponso mu Yerusalemu.
27 And the King gaue siluer in Ierusalem as stones, and gaue cedars as the wilde figtrees that growe abundantly in the plaine.
Mfumu inachititsa kuti siliva akhale ngati miyala wamba mu Yerusalemu, ndipo mkungudza unali wochuluka ngati mitengo ya mkuyu ya mʼmbali mwa phiri.
28 Also Salomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and fine linen: the Kings marchants receiued the linen for a price.
Akavalo a Solomoni ankachokera ku Igupto komanso ku Kuwe. Anthu a malonda a mfumu ankatengera akavalowo ku Kuwe.
29 There came vp and went out of Egypt some charet, worth sixe hundreth shekels of siluer: that is, one horse, an hundreth and fiftie and thus they brought horses to all the Kings of the Hittites and to the Kings of Aram by their meanes.
Ankagula magaleta ku Igupto pa mtengo wa masekeli asiliva okwana 600, ndipo akavalo pa mtengo wa masekeli 150. Anthu amalondawo ankagulitsa zimenezi kwa mafumu onse a Ahiti ndi Asiriya.
