2 Chronicles 9
1 And when the Queene of Sheba heard of the fame of Salomon, she came to proue Salomon with hard questions at Ierusalem, with a very great traine, and camels that bare sweete odours and much golde, and precious stones: and when she came to Salomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart.
Rĩrĩa mũthamaki-mũndũ-wa-nja wa Sheba aiguire ngumo ya Solomoni, agĩũka Jerusalemu kũmũgeria na ciũria nditũ. Agĩkinya arĩ na mũtongoro mũnene ma, wa ngamĩĩra ikuuĩte mahuti marĩa manungi wega, na thahabu nyingĩ mũno, na tũhiga twa goro, agĩthiĩ harĩ Solomoni, akĩaria nake maũndũ mothe marĩa maarĩ meciiria-inĩ make.
2 And Salomon declared her all her questions, and there was nothing hid from Salomon, which he declared not vnto her.
Nake Solomoni agĩcookia ciũria ciake ciothe; gũtirĩ ũndũ o na ũmwe aaremirwo nĩkũmũtaarĩria.
3 Then the Queene of Sheba sawe the wisedome of Salomon, and the house that he had buylt,
Rĩrĩa mũthamaki-mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio wa Sheba onire ũũgĩ wa Solomoni, o na nyũmba ya ũthamaki ĩrĩa aakĩte,
4 And the meate of his table, and the sitting of his seruants, and the order of his wayters, and their apparel, and his butlers, and their apparel, and his burnt offrings which he offred in the house of the Lord, and she was greatly astonied.
na irio iria ciarĩ metha-inĩ yake, na ũrĩa anene ake maikaraga metha-inĩ, na ũrĩa ndungata iria ciatungataga ciehumbĩte, na ũrĩa akuui ikombe mehumbĩte nguo ndaaya, na maruta ma njino marĩa aarutagĩra hekarũ-inĩ ya Jehova, agĩkĩgega mũno.
5 And she saide to the King, It was a true worde which I heard in mine owne lande of thy sayings, and of thy wisedome:
Akĩĩra mũthamaki atĩrĩ, “Ũhoro ũrĩa ndaiguire ndĩ o bũrũri-inĩ wakwa ũkoniĩ maũndũ marĩa wĩkĩte o na ũũgĩ waku nĩ ma ma.
6 Howbeit I beleeued not their report, vntil I came, and mine eyes had seene it: and beholde, the one halfe of thy great wisedom was not told me: for thou exceedest the fame that I heard.
No ndietĩkirie ũrĩa moigaga nginya rĩrĩa ndĩrokire na ndĩreyonera na maitho makwa niĩ mwene. Ti-itherũ, ũrĩa ndeerirwo o na ti nuthu ya ũnene wa ũũgĩ waku; nĩũkĩrĩte mũno makĩria ũhoro ũrĩa ndaiguĩte.
7 Happie are thy men, and happie are these thy seruants, which stande before thee alway, and heare thy wisedome.
Kaĩ gũkena nĩ andũ aku-ĩ! Ningĩ gũkena nĩ anene aku arĩa marũgamaga mbere yaku hĩndĩ ciothe makaiguaga ũũgĩ waku!
8 Blessed be the Lord thy God, which loued thee, to set thee on his throne as King, in the steade of the Lord thy God: because thy God loueth Israel, to establish it for euer, therefore hath he made thee King ouer them, to execute iudgement and iustice.
Jehova Ngai waku arogoocwo, ũrĩa ũkenetio nĩwe, na agagũikarĩria gĩtĩ-inĩ gĩake kĩa ũnene ũrĩ mũthamaki wa gũthamaka nĩ ũndũ wa Jehova Ngai waku. Tondũ wa ũrĩa Ngai waku endete Isiraeli, na akeerirĩria kũmanyiitĩrĩra nginya tene-rĩ, nĩagũtuĩte mũthamaki ũmathamakagĩre, nĩgeetha ũtũũrie kĩhooto na ũthingu.”
9 Then she gaue the King sixe score talents of golde, and of sweete odours exceeding much and precious stones: neither was there such sweete odours since, as the Queene of Sheba gaue vnto King Salomon.
Ningĩ akĩhe mũthamaki taranda 120 cia thahabu, na mahuti marĩa manungi wega maingĩ mũno na tũhiga twa goro. Gũtiakoretwo mahuti manungi wega ta macio mũthamaki-mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio wa Sheba aaheire Mũthamaki Solomoni.
10 And the seruants also of Huram, and the seruants of Salomon which brought golde from Ophir, brought Algummim wood and precious stones.
(Nao andũ a Hiramu na andũ a Solomoni nĩmarehire thahabu kuuma Ofiri; o na nĩmarehire mĩtĩ ya mĩthandari na tũhiga twa goro.
11 And the King made of the Algummim wood staires in the house of the Lord, and in the Kings house, and harpes and violes for singers: and there was no such seene before in the lande of Iudah.
Mũthamaki aahũthĩrire mĩthandari ĩyo gwaka ngathĩ cia hekarũ ya Jehova o na cia nyũmba ya ũthamaki, na gũthondekera aini inanda cia mũgeeto o na cia kĩnũbi cia kũhũũrwo. Gũtiarĩ indo ta icio cionetwo Juda mbere ĩyo.)
12 And King Salomon gaue to the Queene of Sheba euery pleasant thing that she asked, besides for that which she had brought vnto the King: so she returned and went to her owne countrey, both she, and her seruants.
Mũthamaki Solomoni nĩaheire mũthamaki-mũndũ-wa-nja wa Sheba kĩrĩa gĩothe eerirĩirie na kĩrĩa eetirie; akĩmũhe indo makĩria ma iria we aamũreheire. Mũthamaki mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio akiumagara hamwe na ndungata ciake, agĩcooka bũrũri wake mwene.
13 Also the weight of golde that came to Salomon in one yeere, was sixe hundreth three score and sixe talents of golde,
Ũritũ wa thahabu ĩrĩa Solomoni aamũkagĩra o mwaka warĩ wa taranda 666,
14 Besides that which chapmen and marchants brought: and all the Kings of Arabia, and the princes of the countrey brought golde and siluer to Salomon.
ĩtataranĩirio na igooti rĩrĩa rĩarehagwo nĩ athũgũri na onjorithia. Ningĩ athamaki othe a Arabia na abarũthi a bũrũri nĩmarehagĩra Solomoni thahabu na betha.
15 And King Salomon made two hundreth targets of beaten golde, and sixe hundreth shekels of beaten golde went to one target,
Mũthamaki Solomoni agĩthondeka ngo nene 200 cia thahabu hũũre; o ĩmwe yathondeketwo na ũritũ wa beka 600 cia thahabu.
16 And three hundreth shieldes of beaten golde: three hundreth shekels of golde went to one shielde, and the King put them in the house of the wood of Lebanon.
Ningĩ agĩthondeka ngo 300 cia thahabu hũũre, o ĩmwe yathondeketwo na thahabu ya ũritũ wa beka 300. Mũthamaki agĩciiga Nyũmba ya Ũthamaki ĩrĩa yetagwo Mũtitũ wa Lebanoni.
17 And the King made a great throne of yuorie and ouerlaid it with pure golde.
Ningĩ mũthamaki agĩthondeka gĩtĩ kĩnene kĩa ũthamaki kĩgemetio mwena wa na thĩinĩ na mĩguongo, na mwena wa na nja gĩkagemio na thahabu therie.
18 And the throne had sixe steppes, with a footestoole of gold fastened to the throne, and stayes on either side on the place of the seate, and two lyons standing by the stayes.
Gĩtĩ kĩu kĩa ũnene kĩarĩ na ngathĩ ya makinya matandatũ, na gaturwa ga thahabu ga gũkinyithia magũrũ kanyiitithanĩtio nakĩo. Mĩena-inĩ yeerĩ ya gĩtĩ kĩu yarĩ na handũ ha kũigĩrĩra moko, na nĩ haarĩ na mĩhiano ya mĩrũũthi ĩrũgamĩte mĩena-inĩ yeerĩ ya moko macio.
19 And twelue lyons stoode there on the sixe steps on either side: there was not the like made in any kingdome.
Mĩhiano ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ ya mĩrũũthi yarũgamĩtio ngathĩ-inĩ ĩyo ya makinya matandatũ, narĩo o ikinya rĩa ngathĩ rĩarĩ na mũhiano wa mũrũũthi o mwena. Gũtiarĩ gĩtĩ kĩngĩ ta kĩu gĩathondeketwo mbere ĩyo ũthamaki-inĩ ũngĩ o wothe.
20 And all King Salomons drinking vessels were of golde, and all the vessels of the house of the wood of Lebanon were of pure gold: for siluer was nothing esteemed in ye dayes of Salomon.
Indo ciothe iria Mũthamaki Solomoni aanyuuagĩra ciarĩ cia thahabu, na indo ciothe cia nyũmba iria ciarĩ Nyũmba ya Ũthamaki ĩrĩa yetagwo Mũtitũ wa Lebanoni ciarĩ cia thahabu therie. Gũtiarĩ kĩndũ gĩathondeketwo na betha, nĩgũkorwo betha yatuagwo kĩndũ gĩtarĩ bata mũno matukũ-inĩ macio ma Solomoni.
21 For the Kings ships went to Tarshish with the seruants of Huram, euery three yeere once came the ships of Tarshish, and brought golde, and siluer, yuorie, and apes, and peacockes.
Mũthamaki aarĩ na marikabu nyingĩ cia wonjoria iria ciarũgamagĩrĩrwo nĩ andũ a Hiramu. Ciacookaga o riita rĩmwe thĩinĩ wa mĩaka ĩtatũ, ikuuĩte thahabu, na betha, na mĩguongo, na ngĩma, na nũgũ.
22 So King Salomon excelled all the Kings of the earth in riches and wisedome.
Mũthamaki Solomoni aarĩ na ũtonga na ũũgĩ mũingĩ gũkĩra athamaki arĩa angĩ othe a thĩ.
23 And all the Kings of the earth sought the presence of Salomon, to heare his wisedome that God had put in his heart.
Athamaki othe a thĩ nĩmacaragia ũrĩa mangĩona Solomoni nĩguo maigue ũũgĩ ũrĩa Ngai eekĩrĩte ngoro-inĩ yake.
24 And they brought euery man his present, vessels of siluer, and vessels of golde, and raiment, armour, and sweet odours, horses, and mules, from yeere to yeere.
Andũ arĩa mookaga kũmuona mwaka o mwaka nĩmamũrehagĩra iheo, nacio nĩ indo cia betha na thahabu, na nguo ndaaya, na indo cia mbaara, na mahuti manungi wega, na mbarathi na nyũmbũ.
25 And Salomon had foure thousand stalles of horses, and charets, and twelue thousand horsmen, whom he bestowed in the charet cities, and with the King at Ierusalem.
Solomoni aarĩ na nyũmba 4,000 cia mbarathi na ngaari cia ita, na mbarathi 12,000 iria ciaigĩtwo matũũra-inĩ manene ma ngaari cia ita, na akaiga iria ingĩ hakuhĩ nake kũu Jerusalemu.
26 And he reigned ouer all the Kings from the Riuer euen vnto the land of the Philistims, and to the border of Egypt.
Nake nĩathaga athamaki othe kuuma Rũũĩ rwa Farati nginya bũrũri wa Afilisti, o nginya mũhaka-inĩ wa bũrũri wa Misiri.
27 And the King gaue siluer in Ierusalem, as stones, and gaue cedar trees as the wilde fig trees, that are aboundant in the plaine.
Mũthamaki nĩatũmire betha cingĩhe Jerusalemu o ta mahiga, nayo mĩtarakwa yarĩ mĩingĩ o ta mĩtĩ ya mĩkũyũ ĩrĩa ĩrĩ magũrũ-inĩ ma irĩma.
28 And they brought vnto Salomon horses out of Egypt, and out of all landes.
Mbarathi cia Solomoni ciarehetwo kuuma bũrũri wa Misiri, na kuuma mabũrũri marĩa mangĩ mothe.
29 Concerning the rest of the actes of Salomon first and last, are they not written in the booke of Nathan the Prophet, and in the prophecie of Ahiiah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Ieedo the Seer against Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat?
Maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Solomoni, kuuma o kĩambĩrĩria nginya kĩrĩkĩro-rĩ, githĩ matiandĩkĩtwo maandĩko-inĩ ma Nathani ũrĩa mũnabii, na ũrathi-inĩ wa Ahija ũrĩa Mũshiloni, na cioneki-inĩ cia Ido ũrĩa wonaga maũndũ makoniĩ Jeroboamu mũrũ wa Nebati?
30 And Salomon reigned in Ierusalem ouer all Israel fourtie yeeres.
Solomoni aathamakĩire Isiraeli rĩothe arĩ Jerusalemu mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna.
31 And Salomon slept with his fathers, and they buryed him in the citie of Dauid his father: and Rehoboam his sonne reigned in his steade.
Agĩcooka akĩhurũka hamwe na maithe make, na agĩthikwo itũũra inene rĩa ithe Daudi. Nake mũriũ Rehoboamu agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
