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.
Larenn peyi Saba tande pale ki kalite moun Salomon te ye ak jan sa te sèvi yon lwanj pou Seyè a. Li vwayaje pou lavil Jerizalèm pou l' sonde konesans Salomon avèk kèk keksyon difisil.
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.
Se konsa, li rive lavil Jerizalèm avèk yon pakèt moun ak anpil chamo chaje fèy santi bon, bèl pyè koute chè ak kantite lò. Lè li rive devan Salomon, li mande l' tout kalite keksyon li te fè lide mande l'.
3 And Salomon declared vnto her all her questions: nothing was hid from the King, which he expounded not vnto her.
Salomon menm reponn tout keksyon l' yo. pa t' gen anyen ki te twò difisil ni pou li reponn ni pou li esplike.
4 Then the Queene of Sheba sawe all Salomons wisedome, and the house that he had built,
Larenn peyi Saba a wè jan Salomon te gen anpil bon konprann. Li wè palè li te bati a.
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.
Li wè kalite manje yo te sèvi sou tab li ak kay li te fè bati pou chèf li yo, jan li te òganize moun k'ap travay nan palè a, rad inifòm yo te genyen, domestik ki t'ap sèvi l' bweson, ak bèt li te ofri pou boule nèt pou Seyè a nan Tanp lan. Lè li wè tou sa, li pèdi lapawòl tèlman li te sezi.
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.
Li di wa Salomon konsa: -Sa m' te tande nan peyi m' sou ou ak sou bon konprann ou an, se te vre!
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.
Men, mwen pa t' vle kwè toutotan mwen pa t' vini wè ak je pa mwen. Men, sa m' te tande a se pa mwatye sa m' wè a. Bon konprann ou ak richès ou pi plis pase sa yo te di m' lan.
8 Happy are the men, happie are these thy seruants, which stande euer before thee, and heare thy wisedome.
Ala bèl chans madanm ou yo genyen! Ala bèl chans moun k'ap travay avè ou yo genyen! Yo toujou la devan ou ap tande pawòl bon konprann k'ap soti nan bouch ou!
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.
Lwanj pou Seyè a, Bondye ou la! Li moutre jan li kontan avè ou. Li mete ou wa peyi Izrayèl la. Li menm ki renmen peyi Izrayèl la pou tout tan, li mete ou wa pou ou ka kenbe peyi a nan lòd, nan bon chemen san patipri.
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.
Larenn lan fè wa a kado senk tòn lò ak kantite fèy santi bon ak anpil pyè koute chè. Wa a pa janm resevwa nan lavi li kantite fèy santi bon larenn Saba te ba li lè sa a.
11 The nauie also of Hiram (that caried gold from Ophir) brought likewise great plentie of Almuggim trees from Ophir and precious stones.
Batiman Iram yo ki te al chache lò nan peyi Ofi, te pote soti nan menm peyi sa a yon gwo kantite bwa koray ak anpil bèl pyè koute chè.
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.
Salomon sèvi ak bwa koray la pou fè balistrad nan tanp lan ak nan palè a. Li fè gita ak bandjo pou mizisyen yo ak bwa sa a tou. Se te pi bon kalite bwa koray yo te janm fè antre nan peyi Izrayèl. Depi lè sa a yo pa janm wè sa ankò.
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.
Wa Salomon te bay larenn peyi Saba a tou sa li te mande l', san konte lòt kado li menm, wa Salomon, li te vle ba li. Apre sa, larenn lan tounen nan peyi Saba ansanm ak tout moun ki te avè l' yo.
14 Also the weight of golde, that came to Salomon in one yeere, was sixe hundreth three score and six talents of gold,
Chak lanne wa Salomon te resevwa vennsenk tòn lò,
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.
san konte lajan li resevwa nan men moun k'ap fè trafik, nan men moun k'ap fè komès, nan men wa peyi Arabi yo ak nan men gouvènè pèp Izrayèl yo.
16 And King Salomon made two hundreth targets of beaten golde, sixe hundreth shekels of gold went to a target:
Salomon te fè fè desan (200) gwo plak pwotèj an fè. Lèfini, li fè kouvri yo chak ak yon kouch lò ki peze kenz liv.
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.
Li fè fè tou twasan ti plak pwotèj an fè, li fè kouvri yo chak ak yon kouch lò ki peze kat liv. Li mete tout plak pwotèj sa yo nan Salon Rakbwa peyi Liban an.
18 Then the King made a great throne of yuorie, and couered it with the best golde.
Li fè fè yon gwo fotèy ak kòn elefan. Li fè kouvri l' ak pi bon kalite lò ki genyen.
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.
Pou rive bò fotèy la, se pou ou te moute sis mach eskalye. Dèyè fotèy la te gen pòtre yon gwo tèt towo. Sou kote manch yo sou chak bò, te gen pòtre yon lyon.
20 And there stoode twelue lions on the sixe steps on either side: there was not the like made in any kingdome.
Te gen douz lyon sou macheskalye yo, de sou chak mach, nan de pwent yo. Pa t' gen ankenn lòt peyi ki te gen fotèy pou w'a parèy ak fotèy sa a.
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.
Tout gode wa Salomon te sèvi pou l' bwè te fèt an lò. Tout bagay ki te sèvi nan Salon Rakbwa peyi Liban an te fèt ak bon lò. Yo pa t' sèvi ak ajan menm, paske nan tan Salomon ajan pa t' vo anyen.
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.
Li te gen kantite batiman pa l' ki t'ap vwayaje toupatou sou lanmè ansanm ak batiman Iram yo. Chak twazan, batiman yo tounen, yo pote lò, ajan, kòn elefan, pan ak makak.
23 So King Salomon exceeded all the kings of the earth both in riches and in wisedome.
Wa Salomon te pi rich pase tout lòt wa yo, li te gen plis bon konprann pase yo tout.
24 And al the world sought to see Salomon, to heare his wisedome, which God had put in his heart,
Tout moun toupatou te vle vin wè l' pou tande pawòl bon konprann Bondye te mete nan bouch li.
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.
Chak moun ki te vini te pote kado pou li: bagay fèt an ajan ak an lò, rad, zam, fèy santi bon, chwal ak milèt. Chak lanne se te konsa.
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.
Salomon te sanble mil katsan (1.400) cha lagè ak douzmil (12.000) chwal pou sòlda kavalye yo. Li mete yon pòsyon ladan yo nan lavil li te fè bati tout espre pou yo. Rès yo, li mete yo bò kote l' lavil Jerizalèm.
27 And the King gaue siluer in Ierusalem as stones, and gaue cedars as the wilde figtrees that growe abundantly in the plaine.
Pandan tout rèy wa a, ajan te tankou wòch lavil Jerizalèm. Bwa sèd menm, ou te jwenn sa an kantite tankou pye sikomò nan rakbwa ki nan plenn peyi Jida yo.
28 Also Salomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and fine linen: the Kings marchants receiued the linen for a price.
Chwal Salomon yo te soti nan peyi Lejip ak nan peyi Silisi. Wa a te gen moun pa l' ki te konn al achte chwal yo pou li la.
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.
Chak cha lagè achte nan peyi Lejip te koute sisan (600) pyès ajan, chak chwal te koute sansenkant (150) pyès ajan. Se menm moun sa yo ki te konn al achte chwal pou revann wa peyi Et yo ak wa peyi Siri yo.
