Kings III 10

1 And the queen of Saba heard of the name of Solomon, and the name of the Lord, and she came to try him with riddles.

Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻe he tuʻi fefine ʻo Sipa ki he ongoongo ʻo Solomone ko e meʻa ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova, naʻa ne haʻu ke ʻahiʻahi ʻaki ia ʻae ngaahi fehuʻi ʻilongataʻa.

2 And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train; and [there came] camels bearing spices, and very much gold, and precious stones: and she came in to Solomon, and told him all that was in her heart.

Pea naʻe haʻu ia ki Selūsalema mo e fuʻu fononga tokolahi, mo e fanga kāmeli naʻe fetuku ʻae ngaahi meʻa namu kakala, mo e koula lahi ʻaupito, mo e ngaahi maka mahuʻinga: pea ʻi heʻene hoko mai kia Solomone, naʻa ne talanoa mo ia ki he meʻa kotoa pē naʻe ʻi hono loto.

3 And Solomon answered all her questions: and there was not a question overlooked by the king which he did not answer her.

Pea naʻe tali ʻe Solomone ʻa ʻene ngaahi fehuʻi kotoa pē: naʻe ʻikai fufū mei he tuʻi ha meʻa ʻe taha, ke ne taʻefakamatalaʻia kiate ia.

4 And the queen of Saba saw all the wisdom of Solomon, and the house which he built,

Pea hili ʻae mamata ʻe he tuʻi fefine ʻo Sipa ki he poto kotoa pē ʻa Solomone, pea mo e fale ʻaia naʻa ne langa,

5 and the provision of Solomon and the sitting of his attendants, and the standing of his servants, and his raiment, and his cupbearers, and his whole burnt offering which he offered in the house of the Lord, and she was utterly amazed.

Mo e meʻakai ʻi hono keinangaʻanga, mo e anga ʻoe nofo ʻa ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, mo e toutou ʻa ʻene kautauhi, mo honau kofu, mo kinautolu naʻe tauhi ʻa ʻene meʻainu, pea mo e hala ʻaia naʻa ne ʻalu hake ai ki he fale ʻo Sihova; naʻe vaivai ai ʻa hono loto ʻiate ia.

6 And she said to king Solomon, [It was] a true report which I heard in my land of your words and your wisdom.

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia ki he tuʻi, “Ta ko e lea moʻoni ia: ʻaia naʻaku fanongo ki ai ʻi hoku fonua ʻoʻoku ki hoʻo ngaahi ngāue pea mo hoʻo poto.

7 But I believed not them that told me, until I came and my eyes saw: and, behold, the words as they reported to me are not the half: you have exceeded in goodness all the report which I heard in my land.

Ka naʻe ʻikai te u tui ki he talanoa, kaeʻoua ke u haʻu, pea mamata ki ai ʻa hoku mata: pea vakai, naʻe ʻikai tala mai ʻa hono vahe ua ʻoe meʻa: kuo lahi hake ʻa hoʻo poto pea mo hoʻo monūʻia ʻi he ongoongo naʻaku fanongo ki ai.

8 Blessed [are] your wives, blessed [are] these your servants who stand before you continually, who hear all your wisdom.

‌ʻOku monūʻia ʻa hoʻo kau tangata, ʻoku monūʻia ʻa hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ni, ʻoku tutuʻumaʻu aipe ʻi ho ʻao, ʻo [nau ]fanongo ki hoʻo poto.

9 Blessed be the Lord your God, who has taken pleasure in you, to set you upon the throne of Israel, because the Lord loved Israel to establish [him] for ever; and he has made you king over them, to execute judgment with justice, and in their causes.

Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻaia kuo lōlōfie lelei ʻiate koe, ke fakanofo koe ki he nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻi ʻIsileli: koeʻuhi naʻe ʻofa taʻengata ʻa Sihova ki ʻIsileli, ko ia kuo ne fakanofo ai koe ko e tuʻi, ke fai ʻae fakamaau mo e fai totonu.”

10 And she gave to Solomon a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and very many spices, and precious stones: there had not come any other spices so abundant as those which the queen of Saba gave to king Solomon.

Pea naʻa ne foaki ki he tuʻi ʻae taleniti koula ʻe teau ma uofulu, mo e ngaahi meʻa namu kakala fuʻu lahi ʻaupito, pea mo e ngaahi maka mahuʻinga: naʻe ʻikai toe ʻomi ha ngaahi meʻa namu kakala ke lahi pehē fau ʻo tatau mo ia naʻe foaki kia Solomone ʻe he tuʻi fefine ʻo Sipa.

11 And the ship of Chiram which brought the gold from Suphir, brought very much hewn timber and precious stones.

Pea ko e folau ʻo Helami, ʻaia naʻe fetuku mai ʻae koula mei Ofeli, naʻe ʻomi ai foki mei Ofeli ʻae ngaahi ʻakau ko e ʻalimuku ʻo lahi ʻaupito, mo e ngaahi maka mahuʻinga.

12 And the king made the hewn timber [into] buttresses of the house of the Lord and the king's house, and lyres and harps for singers: such hewn timber had not come upon the earth, nor have been seen anywhere until this day.

Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻaki ʻae ʻakau ko e ʻalimuku ʻe he tuʻi ʻae ngaahi pou maʻae fale ʻo Sihova, pea maʻae fale ʻoe tuʻi, ko e ngaahi haʻape foki mo e meʻa hiva maʻae kau fasi hiva; talu mei ai ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni, kuo ʻikai ʻomi pe mamata ki ai, ha ngaahi ʻakau ʻalimuku ke hangē ko ia.

13 And king Solomon gave to the queen of Saba all that she desired, whatever she asked, besides all that he had given her by the hand of king Solomon: and she returned, and came into her own land, she and her servants.

Pea naʻe foaki ʻe Solomone ki he tuʻi fefine ʻo Sipa ʻa ʻene holi kotoa pē, ʻae meʻa fulipē naʻa ne kole ki ai, mo ia kotoa pē naʻe foaki ʻe Solomone ko ʻene foaki ʻataʻatā fakatuʻi. Pea naʻa ne liliu atu ʻo toe foki ki hono fonua ʻoʻona, ʻaia mo ʻene kautauhi.

14 And the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold.

Pea ko eni ko hono mamafa ʻoe koula naʻe ʻomi kia Solomone ʻi he taʻu pe taha ko e taleniti ʻe onongeau mo e onongofulu ma ono ʻoe koula,

15 Besides the tributes of them that were subjects, both merchants and all the kings of the [country] beyond [the river], and of the princess of the land.

Ka ʻoku lau kehe ʻaia naʻa ne maʻu mei he kau fakatau, pea ʻi he fai fakatau mo e kau fakatau meʻa namu kakala, pea mei he ngaahi tuʻi kotoa pē ʻo ʻAlepea, pea mo e houʻeiki pule ʻoe fonua.

16 And Solomon made three hundred spears of beaten gold: three hundred shekels of gold were upon one spear.

Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻe Solomone ʻae pā koula ʻe uangeau naʻe tuki: ko e [sikeli ʻe ]onongeau ʻoe koula naʻe ʻi he pā pe taha.

17 And three hundred shields of beaten gold: and three pounds of gold were in one shield: and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.

Pea naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae ngaahi pā iiki ʻe tolungeau ʻaki ʻae koula naʻe tuki; ko e mano ʻe tolu ʻoe koula naʻe ʻi he pā pe taha: pea naʻe tuku ia ʻe he tuʻi ki he fale ʻi he vao ʻakau ʻo Lepanoni.

18 And the king made a great ivory throne, and gilded it with pure gold.

Naʻe ngaohi foki ʻe he tuʻi ha fuʻu nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻaki ʻae lei, pea naʻa ne fonofono ia ʻaki ʻae koula lelei lahi.

19 The throne [had] six steps, and calves in bold relief to the throne behind it, and side-pieces on either hand of the place of the seat, and two lions standing by the side-pieces,

Naʻe ʻi he nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻae lakaʻanga ʻe ono, pea naʻe fuopotopoto ʻae potu ki ʻolunga ʻi mui: pea naʻe ʻai ʻae ʻaiʻanga nima ʻi hono kaokao fakatouʻosi ʻoe potu hekaʻanga, pea naʻe tuʻu ʻae laione ʻe ua ʻo ofi ki he ʻaiʻanga nima.

20 and twelve lions standing there on the six steps on either side: it was not so done in any [other] kingdom.

Pea naʻe tuʻu ʻi hono potu ʻe taha ʻae laione ʻe hongofulu ma ua, pea ʻi he potu kehe ʻe taha ʻi he lakaʻanga ʻe ono; naʻe ʻikai ngaohi hano tatau ʻi ha puleʻanga kehe.

21 And all the vessels made by Solomon [were] of gold, and the lavers [were] golden, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold; there was no silver, for it was not accounted of in the days of Solomon.

Pea naʻe [ngaohi ʻaki ]ʻae koula ʻae ngaahi ipu inu ʻae tuʻi ko Solomone, pea ko e ngaahi ipu ʻoe fale ʻi he vao ʻakau ʻo Lepanoni, naʻe ʻoe koula moʻoniia; naʻe ʻikai ha siliva ʻi ai: naʻe ʻikai mahuʻinga ia ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Solomone.

22 For Solomon had a ship of Tharsis in the sea with the ships of Chiram: one ship came to the king every three years out of Tharsis, [laden with] gold and silver, and wrought stones, and hewn stones.

He naʻe ʻalu ʻae folau ʻae tuʻi ʻi tahi ko e ngaahi vaka Tasisi, fakataha mo e folau ʻo Helami: naʻe haʻu tuʻo taha ʻi he taʻu ʻe tolu ʻae folau mei Tasisi, ke ʻomi ʻae koula, mo e siliva, mo e lei, mo e fanga ngeli, pea mo e fanga pikoka.

23 And Solomon increased beyond all the kings of the earth in wealth and wisdom.

Ko ia naʻe fungani hake ai ʻae tuʻi ko Solomone ʻi he ngaahi tuʻi kotoa pē ʻo māmani, ʻi he koloaʻia mo e poto.

24 And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom which the Lord [had] put into his heart.

Pea naʻe kumi kia Solomone ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻo māmani, ke fanongo ki heʻene poto, ʻaia naʻe ʻai ki hono loto ʻe he ʻOtua.

25 And they brought every one their gifts, vessels of gold, and raiment, and stacte, and spices, and horses, and mules, a rate year by year.

Pea naʻe ʻomi ʻe he tangata taki taha kotoa pē ʻa ʻene meʻaʻofa, ko e ngaahi meʻa siliva, mo e ngaahi meʻa koula, mo e ngaahi kofu, mo e ngaahi mahafutau, mo e ngaahi meʻa namu kakala, mo e fanga hoosi, mo e fanga miuli, ko e vāhenga meʻa ʻi he ngaahi taʻu tukufakaholo.

26 And Solomon had four thousand mares for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen: and he put them in the cities of his chariots, and with the king in Jerusalem: and he ruled over all the kings from the river to the land of the Philistines, and to the borders of Egypt.

Pea naʻe tānaki fakataha ʻe Solomone ʻae ngaahi saliote mo e kau heka hoosi: pea naʻa ne maʻu ʻae saliote ʻe taha afe mo e fāngeau, mo e kau heka hoosi ʻe taha mano mo e ua afe, ʻaia naʻa ne fakanofo ki he ngaahi kolo maʻae ngaahi saliote, pea ki he tuʻi ʻi Selūsalema.

27 And the king made gold and silver in Jerusalem as stones, and he made cedars as the sycamores in the plain for multitude.

Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻae siliva ʻe he tuʻi ke hangē ia ko e ngaahi maka ʻi Selūsalema, pea ne ngaohi ʻae ngaahi sita ke tatau hono lahi ʻoʻona mo e ngaahi ʻakau sukamino ʻoku tuʻu ʻi he teleʻa.

28 And the goings forth of Solomon's horsemen [was] also out of Egypt, and the king's merchants [were] of Thecue; and they received them out of Thecue at a price.

Pea naʻe ʻomi kia Solomone ʻae fanga hoosi mei ʻIsipite, ʻaia naʻe tauaki: pea naʻe maʻu ʻaia naʻe tānaki ʻe he kau fakatau ʻae tuʻi ʻi he totongi.

29 And that which proceeded out of Egypt went up [thus, even] a chariot for a hundred [shekels] of silver, and a horse for fifty [shekels] of silver: and thus for all the kings of the Chettians, and the kings of Syria, they came out by sea.

Pea naʻe ʻalu atu mo ʻohake ha saliote mei ʻIsipite ko hono totongi ko e [konga ]siliva ʻe onongeau; pea ko e totongi ki ha hoosi ʻe taha ko e teau ma nimangofulu: pea naʻe pehē ʻenau taufetuku foki ia ki he ngaahi tuʻi kotoa pē ʻoe kakai Heti pea mo e ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Silia.
