2 Chronicles 9
1 And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to prove Solomon with hard questions at Jerusalem, with a very great train, and camels that bore spices and gold in abundance, and precious stones; and when she was come to Solomon, she spoke with him of all that was in her heart.
Larenn peyi Saba tande pale ki kalite moun Salomon te ye. Li vwayaje pou lavil Jerizalèm pou l' sonde konesans Salomon avèk kèk keksyon difisil. Se konsa, li mennen anpil moun avè l' ak anpil chamo chaje odè, fèy santi bon, kantite lò ak pyè koute chè. Lè li rive devan Salomon, li poze l' tout kalite keksyon li te fè lide mande l'.
2 And Solomon told her all her questions; and there was not any thing hid from Solomon which he told her not.
Salomon menm reponn tout keksyon l' yo. pa t' gen anyen ki te twò difisil pou li reponn.
3 And when the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, 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.
4 and the food of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel; his cupbearers also, and their apparel; and his ascent by which he went up into the house of the LORD; there was no more spirit in her.
Li wè kalite manje yo te sèvi sou tab li, 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 sitèlman li te sezi.
5 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.
Li di wa Salomon konsa: -Sa m' te tande nan peyi m' sou ou ak sou bon konprann ou an, se te vre!
6 Howbeit I believed not their words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it; and, behold, the half of the greatness of thy wisdom was not told me; thou exceedest the fame that I heard.
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 a.
7 Happy are thy men, and happy are these thy servants, that stand continually before thee, and hear thy wisdom.
Ala bèl chans moun pa ou yo genyen! Ala bèl chans pou moun k'ap travay avè ou yo! Yo toujou la devan ou ap tande bèl pawòl k'ap soti nan bouch ou!
8 Blessed be the LORD thy God, who delighted in thee, to set thee on His throne, to be king for the LORD thy God; because thy God loved Israel, to establish them for ever, therefore made He thee king over them, to do justice and righteousness.'
Lwanj pou Seyè a, Bondye ou la! Li moutre jan li kontan avè ou. Li mete ou chita sou fotèy li a pou ou te ka wa peyi Izrayèl la. Li menm ki renmen peyi Izrayèl la, li vle pou peyi a pa janm disparèt. Li mete ou wa pou ou ka kenbe peyi a nan lòd, nan bon chemen, san patipri.
9 And she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices in great abundance, and precious stones; neither was there any such spice as the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.
Larenn Saba a fè wa a kado twa tòn edmi lò ak kantite fèy santi bon ak anpil pyè koute chè. Pat janm rive gen nan pèyi Izrayèl la kantite fèy santi bon tankou sa larenn Saba a te bay wa Salomon lè sa a.
10 And the servants also of Huram, and the servants of Solomon that brought gold from Ophir, brought sandal-wood and precious stones.
Moun Iram yo ansanm ak moun Salomon yo, ki te al chache lò nan peyi Ofi, te pote yon gwo kantite bwa koray ak anpil bèl pyè koute chè soti nan menm peyi a.
11 And the king made of the sandal-wood paths for the house of the LORD, and for the king's house, and harps and psalteries for the singers; and there were none such seen before in the land of Judah.
Salomon sèvi ak bwa koray yo pou fè planche nan Tanp lan ak nan palè a. Li fè gita ak bandjo pou mizisyen yo ak bwa sa a tou. Yo pa t' janm wè bagay konsa nan peyi Jida a anvan sa.
12 And king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatsoever she asked, beside that which she had brought unto the king. So she turned, and went to her own land, she and her servants.
Wa Salomon te bay larenn peyi Saba a tou sa li te mande l', san konte kado li te ba li pou koresponn ak sa larenn lan te pote ba li. Apre sa, larenn lan tounen tounen l' nan peyi Saba ansanm ak tout moun ki te avè l' yo.
13 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and threescore and six talents of gold;
Chak lanne, wa Salomon te resevwa vennsenk tòn lò,
14 beside that which the traffickers and merchants brought; and all the kings of Arabia and the governors of the country brought gold and silver to Solomon.
san konte lajan li te resevwa nan men moun k'ap fè trafik yo ak moun k'ap fè kòmès yo. Tout wa peyi Arabi yo ak gouvènè pèp Izrayèl yo te pote lò ak ajan bay Salomon tou.
15 And king Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold: six hundred shekels of beaten gold went to one target;
Salomon te fè fè desan (200) gwo plak pwotèj an fè. Lèfini, li fè kouvri yo chak ak yon kouch lò ki peze douz liv.
16 three hundred shields of beaten gold also: three hundred shekels of gold went to one shield; and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
Li fè fè twasan (300) ti plak pwotèj, li fè kouvri yo chak ak yon kouch lò ki peze sis liv. Li mete tout plak pwotèj sa yo nan salon Rakbwa Peyi Liban an.
17 Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold.
Li fè fè tou yon gwo fotèy ak kòn elefan. Li fè kouvri l' ak pi bon kalite lò ki genyen.
18 And there were six steps to the throne, with a footstool of gold, which were fastened to the throne, and arms on either side by the place of the seat, and two lions standing beside the arms.
Pou rive bò fotèy la, se pou ou te moute sis mach eskalye. Devan fotèy la te gen yon ti ban an lò pou wa a lonje pye l'. Fotèy la te gen de manch. Sou kote manch yo, sou chak bò te gen pòtre yon lyon.
19 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.
Te gen douz lyon sou mach eskalye yo, de sou chak mach nan de pwent yo. Pat gen ankenn lòt peyi ki te gen yon fotèy pou wa parèy ak sa a.
20 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; silver was nothing accounted of in the days of Solomon.
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 an bon lò. Yo pa t' sèvi ak ajan menm, paske sou rèy Salomon, ajan pa t' vo anyen.
21 For the king had ships that went to Tarshish with the servants of Huram; once every three years came the ships of Tarshish, bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
Li te gen yon kantite batiman pa l' ki t'ap vwayaje ale nan peyi Tasis. Se moun Iram yo ki te mennen yo pou li. Chak twazan, batiman yo te tounen chaje ak lò, ajan, kòn elefan, pan ak makak.
22 So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.
Wa Salomon te pi rich pase tout lòt wa yo. Li te gen plis bon konprann pase yo tout.
23 And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
Tout wa toupatou te vin wè Salomon pou tande bèl pawòl Bondye te mete nan bouch li.
24 And they brought every man his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and raiment, armour, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year.
Chak moun ki te vini te pote kado pou li, bagay ki fèt an ajan ak an lò, rad, zam, fèy santi bon, chwal ak milèt. Chak lanne se te konsa.
25 And Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, that he bestowed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
Salomon te gen katmil (4.000) kay kote li te mete chwal li yo ak cha lagè, ak douzmil (12.000) chwal pou sòlda kavalye yo. Li mete yon pòsyon nan lavil kote li te gen cha li yo, rès yo li mete yo lavil Jerizalèm bò kote l'.
26 And he ruled over all the kings from the River even unto the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt.
Salomon te sèl chèf sou tout wa ki t'ap gouvènen depi larivyè Lefrat rive nan peyi Filisti, jouk sou fwontyè peyi Lejip.
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.
Pandan tout rèy li, ajan te tankou wòch lavil Jerizalèm. Bwa sèd menm, ou te jwenn sa an kantite tankou pye sikomò nan rakbwa nan plenn peyi Jida yo.
28 And they brought horses for Solomon out of Egypt, and out of all lands.
Se nan peyi Lejip ak nan tout lòt peyi Salomon te fè chache chwal li yo.
29 Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last, are they not written in the words of Nathan the prophet, and in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Jedo the seer concerning Jeroboam the son of Nebat?
Tout rès istwa Salomon an, depi premye jou li te moute wa a rive jouk dènye jwa a, nou jwenn li nan liv istwa pwofèt Natan, nan liv mesaj Akija, moun lavil Silo a, ak nan liv vizyon pwofèt Ido ki pale sou wa Jewoboram, pitit Nebat la.
30 And Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years.
Salomon te wa lavil Jerizalèm, li te gouvènen tout pèp Izrayèl la pandan karantan.
31 And Solomon slept with his fathers; they buried him in the city of David his father; and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead.
Lè li mouri, yo antere l' nan lavil David, papa l'. Se Woboram, pitit li, ki moute wa nan plas li.
