1 Kings 10
1 And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon because of the name of the LORD, she came to prove 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 Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels that bore spices and gold very much, and precious stones; and when she was come to Solomon, she spoke 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 Solomon told her all her questions; there was not any thing hid from the king which he told her not.
Solomoni anayankha mafunso ake onse ndipo panalibe kanthu kalikonse kovuta komwe sanathe kufotokozera mfumu yayikaziyo.
4 And when the queen of Sheba had seen all the wisdom of Solomon, 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 food of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel, and his cupbearers, and his burnt-offering which he offered in the house of the LORD, there was no more spirit in her.
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 she said to the king: 'It was a true report that I heard in mine own land of thine acts, and of thy wisdom.
Iyo inati kwa mfumu, “Mbiri imene ndinamva ndili ku dziko kwathu ya zomwe munachita komanso nzeru zanu ndi yoona.
7 Howbeit I believed not the words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it; and, behold, the half was not told me; thou hast wisdom and prosperity exceeding the fame which I heard.
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 thy men, happy are these thy servants, that stand continually before thee, and that hear thy wisdom.
Ngodala anthu anu! Ngodala atumiki anu amene amayimirira pamaso panu nthawi zonse ndi kumamva nzeru zanu!
9 Blessed be the LORD thy God, who delighted in thee, to set thee on the throne of Israel; because the LORD loved Israel for ever, therefore made He thee king, to do justice and righteousness.'
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 gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices very great store, and precious stones; there came no more such abundance of spices as these which the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.
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 And the navy also of Hiram, that brought gold from Ophir, brought in from Ophir great plenty of sandal-wood 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 the sandal-wood pillars for the house of the LORD, and for the king's house, harps also and psalteries for the singers; there came no such sandal-wood, nor was seen, unto 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 Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatsoever she asked, beside that which Solomon gave her of his royal bounty. So she turned, and went to her own land, she and her servants.
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 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred threescore and six talents of gold,
Golide amene Solomoni ankalandira pa chaka ankalemera makilogalamu 23,000,
15 beside that which came of the merchants, and of the traffic of the traders, and of all the kings of the mingled people and of the governors of the country.
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 Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold: six hundred shekels of gold went to one target.
Mfumu Solomoni anapanga zishango zikuluzikulu 200 zagolide. Chishango chilichonse chimapangidwa ndi golide wolemera makilogalamu atatu ndi theka.
17 And he made three hundred shields of beaten gold: three pounds of gold went to one shield; and the king put them in the house of the forest 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 Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with the finest gold.
Mfumu inapangitsanso mpando waufumu waukulu wa minyanga ya njovu, ndipo inawukutira ndi golide wabwino kwambiri.
19 There were six steps to the throne, and the top of the throne was round behind; and there were arms on either side by the place of the seat, and two lions standing beside the arms.
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 twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other upon the six steps; there was not the like made in any kingdom.
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 Solomon's drinking-vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold; none were of silver; it was nothing accounted of in the days of Solomon.
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 at sea a navy of Tarshish with the navy of Hiram; once every three years came the navy of Tarshish, bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
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 Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth in riches and in wisdom.
Mfumu Solomoni inali yopambana pa chuma ndi pa nzeru kuposa mafumu ena onse pa dziko lapansi.
24 And all the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, 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 every man his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and raiment, and armour, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year.
Chaka ndi chaka aliyense amene amabwera ankabweretsa mphatso za siliva ndi golide, mikanjo, zida zankhondo ndi zokometsera zakudya, akavalo ndi abulu.
26 And Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen; and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, that he bestowed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
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 made silver to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he to be as the sycamore-trees that are in the Lowland, for abundance.
Mfumu inachititsa kuti siliva akhale ngati miyala wamba mu Yerusalemu, ndipo mkungudza unali wochuluka ngati mitengo ya mkuyu ya mʼmbali mwa phiri.
28 And the horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt; also out of Keveh, the king's merchants buying them of the men of Keveh at a price.
Akavalo a Solomoni ankachokera ku Igupto komanso ku Kuwe. Anthu a malonda a mfumu ankatengera akavalowo ku Kuwe.
29 And a chariot came up and went out of Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty; and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Aram, did they bring them out by their means.
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.
