2 Chronicles 9
1 And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to prove Solomon with riddles at Jerusalem, with a very great train, and with camels bearing spices, and gold in abundance, and precious stones: and when she was come to Solomon, she spoke with him of all that was on 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 solved for her all her questions; and there was nothing hidden from Solomon which he did not tell her.
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 saw 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, and his cup-bearers, 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, The truth [only] was the word that I heard in my own land of thy 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 And I believed not in their words, until I came, and my eyes saw [all]; and, behold, the one-half of the greatness of thy wisdom hath not been told me: thou excellest the report which I have 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, who stand before thee continually, 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 hath had delight in thee to place thee on his throne, as a king for the Lord thy God; because thy God loved Israel, to sustain them for ever, therefore hath he placed thee over them as king, to exercise 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 to the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices in very great abundance, and precious stones: and there never were any such spices as those which 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 also the servants of Churam, and the servants of Solomon, who brought gold from Ophir, brought sandal-trees 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-trees steps for the house of the Lord, and for the king's palace, and harps and psalteries for singers: and there were never seen the like of them 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 unto the queen of Sheba all her pleasure, whatsoever she asked, beside [a return for] that which she had brought unto the king. And she turned about and went away to her own country, 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 sixty and six talents of gold;
Chak lanne, wa Salomon te resevwa vennsenk tòn lò,
14 Besides what the travelling tradesmen and the 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 he used for each 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 And [he made] three hundred shields of beaten gold; three hundred shekels of gold he used for each 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 The king also 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 the throne had six steps, with a footstool of gold, fastened into the throne; and there were arms on either side, on the place of the seat; and two lions stood 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 upon the six steps on both sides: 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: no silver was valued in the days of Solomon at the least.
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's ships went to Tharshish with the servants of Churam; once in three years did the Tharshish-ships use to come home laden with 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 And king Solomon became greater than all the kings of the earth for 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 garments, armor, and spices, horses, and mules; [and] so 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, whom he quartered in the cities for chariots, and near 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 was ruling over all the kings from the river even unto the land of the Philistines, and as far as the boundary 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 rendered silver in Jerusalem like stones, and the cedar-trees he rendered like the sycamore-trees that are in the lowlands, 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 men were bringing out horses for Solomon from Egypt and from all lands.
Se nan peyi Lejip ak nan tout lòt peyi Salomon te fè chache chwal li yo.
29 And the remainder of the acts of Solomon, the first and the last, behold, they are written in the history of Nathan the prophet, and in the prophecy of Achiyah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Ye'do the seer concerning Jerobo'am 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, and they buried him in the city of David his father: and Rehobo'am his son became king in his stead.
Lè li mouri, yo antere l' nan lavil David, papa l'. Se Woboram, pitit li, ki moute wa nan plas li.
