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.
Alò, depi rèn Séba te tande afè rekonesans a Salomon an, li te vini Jérusalem pou fè pase Salomon a leprèv avèk kesyon ki te byen difisil. Li te gen yon gran konpanyen moun avèk chamo chaje avèk epis ak yon gran kantite lò, avèk pyè presye. Lè li te rive kote Salomon, li te pale avèk li selon tout sa ki te nan kè li.
2 And Solomon told her all her questions; and there was not any thing hid from Solomon which he told her not.
Salomon te reponn tout kesyon li yo. Anyen pa t kache a Salomon ke li pa t eksplike li.
3 And when the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had built,
Lè rèn Séba te fin wè sajès a Salomon an, kay ke 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.
manje sou tab li, aranjman pozisyon chèz sèvitè li yo, konpòtman avèk abiman ministè li yo, eskalye li a sou sila li te konn monte pou rive lakay SENYÈ a, sa te fè l pèdi souf.
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 te di a wa a: “Se te verite; rapò ke m te tande nan pwòp peyi mwen konsènan pawòl avèk sajès ou.
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.
Sepandan, mwen pa t kwè rapò yo jiskaske m te rive, e zye m vin wè. Epi vwala, mwatye a grandè a sajès yo pa t pale mwen sa. Ou depase rapò ke m te tande a.
7 Happy are thy men, and happy are these thy servants, that stand continually before thee, and hear thy wisdom.
Jan mesye pa ou yo beni, jan sèvitè ou yo ki kanpe devan ou tout tan pou tande sajès ou yo beni!
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.'
Beniswa SENYÈ a, Bondye ou a, ki te pran plezi nan ou, e ki te mete ou sou twòn Li kòm wa pou SENYÈ a, Bondye ou a, akoz Bondye ou a te renmen Israël, Li etabli yo jis pou tout tan. Pou sa, Li te fè ou wa sou yo, pou fè lajistis avèk ladwati.”
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.
Apre sa, li te bay wa a san-ven talan lò avèk yon trè gran kantite epis avèk pyè presye. Pa t janm te kon gen epis kon sa yo ke rèn Séba te bay a Wa Salomon an.
10 And the servants also of Huram, and the servants of Solomon that brought gold from Ophir, brought sandal-wood and precious stones.
Sèvitè a Huram yo avèk sèvitè a Salomon ki te pote lò sòti nan Ophir yo, anplis te pote bwa sandal avèk pyè presye yo.
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.
Avèk bwa sandal yo, wa a te fè eskalye pou kay SENYÈ a ak pou palè wa a ak gita, avèk ap pou chantè yo. Epi nanpwen bagay konsa ki te konn wè avan nan peyi Juda.
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 a rèn Séba tout dezi li nan sa li te mande, plis ke sa li te pote bay wa a. Alò, li te vire retounen nan peyi li avèk sèvitè li yo.
13 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and threescore and six talents of gold;
Alò, pwa a lò ki te vini a Salomon nan en an te sis-san-swasann-sis talan an 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.
anplis de sa ke machann avèk komèsan yo te pote. Tout wa Arabie avèk dirijan peyi sa yo te mennen lò avèk ajan bay Salomon.
15 And king Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold: six hundred shekels of beaten gold went to one target;
Wa Salomon te fè de-san gran boukliye defans an lò bat, ki te sèvi sis-san sik lò nan chak gran boukliye.
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 te fè twa-san boukliye ki te sèvi twa-san sik lò sou chak boukliye e wa a te mete yo nan kay Forè Liban an.
17 Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold.
Anplis, wa a te fè yon gran twòn avèk ivwa, e li te kouvri li avèk lò pi.
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.
Te gen sis mach pye eskalye ki pou rive nan twòn nan ak yon mach pye eskalye an lò ki te tache a twòn nan, avèk manch nan chak kote chèz la, avèk de lyon ki te kanpe akote manch yo.
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.
Douz lyon yo te kanpe la sou sis etap eskalye sou yon kote ak sou lòt la. Nanpwen anyen tankou li ki te fèt pou okenn lòt wayòm.
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 veso pou bwè ke Salomon te genyen yo te fèt an lò, e tout veso nan kay Forè Liban an te lò pi. Ajan pa t konsidere kòm tèlman valab nan jou a Salomon yo.
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.
Paske wa a te gen bato ki te konn ale Tarsis avèk sèvitè a Huram yo. Yon fwa chak twazan, bato Tarsis yo te antre avèk lò ak ajan, ivwa, makak ak zwazo pan yo.
22 So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.
Konsa, Wa Salomon te vin pi gran pase tout wa sou latè yo nan richès avèk sajès.
23 And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
Epi tout wa latè yo t ap chache prezans a Salomon pou tande sajès ke Bondye te mete nan kè 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.
Yo chak te pote pwòp kado pa yo: bagay an ajan avèk lò, vètman, zam, epis, cheval, milèt, an gran kantite ane pa ane.
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.
Alò, Salomon te gen kat-mil estasyon separe pou cheval avèk cha e douz-mil chevalye. Li te pozisyone yo nan vil cha yo ak kote wa a nan Jérusalem.
26 And he ruled over all the kings from the River even unto the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt.
Li te mèt sou tout wa yo soti nan Rivyè Euphrate la, jis rive nan peyi Filisten yo, e jis rive nan lizyè Égypte la.
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.
Wa a te fè ajan gaye tankou wòch Jérusalem, e li te fè sèd yo anpil tankou bwa sikomò ki nan ba plèn nan.
28 And they brought horses for Solomon out of Egypt, and out of all lands.
Yo te mennen cheval pou Salomon soti an Égypte avèk tout peyi 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?
Alò, tout lòt zèv a Salomon yo, soti nan premye a jis rive nan dènye a, èske yo pa ekri nan rekò a Nathan yo, pwofèt la, nan pwofesi Achija a, Silonit lan, ak nan vizyon a Jéedo yo, konseye a Jéroboam nan, fis a Nebath la?
30 And Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years.
Salomon te renye pandan karantan Jérusalem ak sou tout Israël.
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.
Salomon te dòmi avèk zansèt li yo, e li te antere nan lavil papa li, David. Fis li, Roboam te renye nan plas li.
