< 1 Kings 10 >
1 And the queen of Sheba is hearing of the fame of Solomon concerning the Name of YHWH, and comes to try him with enigmas,
Alò, lè rèn Séba a te tande koze a repitasyon Salomon pa non SENYÈ a, li te vini pou pase l a leprèv avèk kesyon difisil.
2 and she comes to Jerusalem, with a very great company, camels carrying spices, and very much gold, and precious stone, and she comes to Solomon, and speaks to him all that has been with her heart.
Li te vini Jérusalem avèk yon trè gran kantite moun, avèk chamo ki t ap pote epis, anpil lò avèk pyè presye. Lè li te vini kote Salomon, li te pale avèk li selon tout sa ki te nan kè li.
3 And Solomon declares to her all her matters—there has not been a thing hid from the king that he has not declared to her.
Salomon te reponn a tout kesyon li yo; anyen pa t kache a wa a pou l pa t eksplike li.
4 And the queen of Sheba sees all the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he built,
Lè rèn a Séba te vin konprann tout sajès a Salomon an, kay ke li te bati a,
5 and the food of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the standing of his ministers, and their clothing, and his butlers, and his burnt-offering that he causes to ascend in the house of YHWH, and there has not been anymore spirit in her.
manje sou tab li, kapasite sèvitè li yo, jan moun ki te sèvi tab yo te atantif, jan yo abiye, pòtè tas diven yo, ak eskalye li, kote li te monte rive lakay SENYÈ a, li te vin pa gen kouraj ankò.
6 And she says to the king, “The word that I heard in my land has been true concerning your matters and your wisdom;
Konsa, li te di a wa a: “Rapò ke m te tande soti nan peyi mwen selon pawòl ou avèk sajès ou a te vrè.
7 and I gave no credence to the words until I have come, and my eyes see, and behold, not [even] half was declared to me; you have added wisdom and goodness to the report that I heard.
Men mwen pa t kwè rapò yo jiskaske mwen te rive e zye m te wè li. Epi vwala, yo pa t pale m mwatye verite. Ou depase nan sajès avèk richès rapò ke m te tande a.
8 O the blessedness of your men, O the blessedness of your servants—these—who are standing before you continually, who are hearing your wisdom!
Jan mesye pa ou yo beni! Beni se sèvitè ki kanpe devan ou yo tout tan pou tande sajès ou.
9 Your God YHWH is blessed, who delighted in you, to put you on the throne of Israel; in YHWH’s loving Israel for all time He sets you for king, to do judgment and righteousness.”
Beni se SENYÈ a, Bondye ou a, ki te pran plezi nan ou pou mete ou sou twòn Israël la. Akoz SENYÈ a te renmen Israël pou tout tan, se pou sa Li te fè ou wa, pou fè lajistis avèk ladwati.”
10 And she gives to the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold, and very many spices, and precious stone; there never again came in abundance like that spice that the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.
Li te bay wa a san-ven talan lò, yon gran kantite epis avèk pyè presye. Fòs kantite epis sa a tankou sa ke rèn Séba a te bay a Wa Salomon an pa t janm antre ankò.
11 And also, the navy of Hiram that bore gold from Ophir, brought in very much almug-trees and precious stone from Ophir;
Osi, bato a Hiram ki te pote lò ki sòti Ophir yo, te mennen fè antre soti Ophir yon gran kantite pye bwa koray avèk pyè presye.
12 and the king makes the almug-trees a support for the house of YHWH, and for the house of the king, and harps and psalteries for singers; there have not come such almug-trees, nor have there been seen [such] to this day.
Wa a te fè soutyen lakay SENYÈ a avèk lakay wa a avèk bwa koray yo e osi ap yo avèk gita pou chantè yo. Bwa koray yo tankou sila yo pa t janm antre ankò, ni yo pa t janm wè jis rive jodi a.
13 And King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire that she asked, apart from that which he gave to her as a memorial of King Solomon, and she turns and goes to her land, she and her servants.
Wa Salomon te bay a rèn Séba tout sa ke li te dezire, tout sa ke li te mande, anplis de sa li te ba li selon bonte wayal li. Konsa, li te vire retounen nan pwòp peyi pa li a, ansanm avèk sèvitè pa li yo.
14 And the weight of the gold that has come to Solomon in one year is six hundred sixty-six talents of gold,
Alò, pwa lò a ki te antre pou Salomon nan yon ane se te sis-san-swasann-sis talan lò,
15 apart from [that of] the tourists, and of the traffic of the merchants, and of all the kings of Arabia, and of the governors of the land.
anplis de sa ki te sòti nan machann avèk byen a tout komèsan yo, tout wa pami Arab yo avèk gouvènè nan chak peyi yo.
16 And King Solomon makes two hundred bucklers of alloyed gold—six hundred [shekels] of gold go up on the one buckler;
Wa Salomon te fè de-san gran boukliye avèk lò bat avèk sis-san sik lò nan chak gran boukliye.
17 and three hundred shields of alloyed gold—three pounds of gold go up on the one shield; and the king puts them [in] the House of the Forest of Lebanon.
Avèk twa-san boukliye nan lò bat, ki te sèvi twa min lò sou chak boukliye e wa a te mete yo nan kay Forè Liban an.
18 And the king makes a great throne of ivory, and overlays it with refined gold;
Anplis, wa a te fè yon gwo twòn avèk ivwa e li te kouvri li avèk lò rafine.
19 the throne has six steps, and a round top [is] to the throne behind it, and hands [are] on this [side] and on that, to the place of the sitting, and two lions are standing near the hands,
Avèk sis machpye monte pou rive nan twòn nan, e yon tèt won sou twòn nan pa dèyè li, bra yo nan chak kote chèz la, e de lyon ki te kanpe akote bra yo.
20 and twelve lions are standing there on the six steps, on this [side] and on that; it has not been made so for any kingdom.
Douz lyon te kanpe la sou sis machpye yo, sou yon kote e menm jan an sou lòt la. Anyen tankou li pa t fèt nan okenn lòt wayòm.
21 And all the drinking vessels of King Solomon [are] of gold, and all the vessels of the House of the Forest of Lebanon [are] of refined gold—there are none of silver; it was not reckoned in the days of Solomon for anything,
Tout veso a Wa Salomon pou bwè yo te fèt an lò. Tout veso nan kay Forè a Liban yo te an lò pi. Nanpwen ki te an ajan. Sa pa t konsidere kòm bagay chè nan jou a Salomon yo.
22 for the king has a navy of Tarshish at sea with a navy of Hiram; once in three years the navy of Tarshish comes, carrying gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks [[or monkeys]].
Paske wa a te gen sou lanmè a bato a Tarsis avèk bato a Hiram yo. Yon fwa chak twazan bato a Tarsis yo te vini pote lò avèk ajan, ivwa avèk makak ak bèl zwazo pan yo.
23 And King Solomon is greater than any of the kings of the earth for riches and for wisdom,
Konsa, Wa Salomon te vin pi gran ke tout wa sou latè yo nan richès avèk sajès.
24 and all the earth is seeking the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom that God has put into his heart,
Tout latè t ap chache prezans a Salomon pou tande sajès li ke Bondye te mete nan kè li.
25 and they are each bringing his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and armor, and spices, horses, and mules, the matter of a year in a year.
Chak moun te pote kado li, afè an ajan avèk lò, vètman, zam, epis, cheval avèk milèt, an gran kantite ane pa ane.
26 And Solomon gathers chariots, and horsemen, and he has one thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, and he places them in the cities of the chariot, and with the king in Jerusalem.
Alò, Salomon te ranmase cha avèk cheval yo. Li te gen mil-kat-san cha avèk douz-mil chevalye e li te estasyone yo nan vil cha yo avèk wa a nan Jérusalem.
27 And the king makes the silver in Jerusalem as stones, and he has made the cedars as the sycamores that [are] in the low country, for abundance.
Wa a te fè ajan vin gaye toupatou tankou wòch Jérusalem. Li te fè sèd yo vin anpil tankou bwa sikomò ki rete nan ba plèn nan.
28 And the outgoing of the horses that King Solomon has [is] from Egypt, and from Keveh; merchants of the king take from Keveh at a price;
Osi, lè Salomon te enpòte cheval yo, yo te soti an Égypte avèk Kuwe. Machann a wa yo te chache yo soti Kuwe pou yon pri.
29 and a chariot comes up and comes out of Egypt for six hundred pieces of silver, and a horse for one hundred and fifty, and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Aram; they bring out by their hand.
Yon cha te konn enpòte soti Égypte pou sis-san sik an ajan ak yon cheval pou san-senkant e pa menm mwayen an, yo te ekspòte yo a tout wa Etyen avèk wa Siryen yo.
