2 Chronicles 9
1 And the queen of Sheba has heard of the fame of Solomon, and comes to Jerusalem to try Solomon with acute sayings, with a very great company, and camels carrying spices and gold in abundance, and precious stone; and she comes to Solomon, and speaks with him all that has been with her heart,
Mfumu yayikazi ya ku Seba itamva za kutchuka kwa Solomoni, inabwera mu Yerusalemu kudzamuyesa ndi mafunso okhwima. Inafika ndi gulu lalikulu la ngamira zonyamula zokometsera zakudya, golide wambiri, ndi miyala yokongola. Inafika kwa Solomoni ndipo inayankhula naye zonse zimene zinali mu mtima mwake.
2 and Solomon declares all her matters to her, and there has not been hid a thing from Solomon that he has not declared to her.
Solomoni anayankha mafunso ake onse ndipo panalibe kanthu kalikonse kovuta kwa iye komwe sanathe kufotokozera mfumu yayikaziyo.
3 And the queen of Sheba sees the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he has built,
Mfumu yayikazi ya ku Seba itaona nzeru za Solomoni komanso nyumba yaufumu imene anamanga,
4 and the food of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the standing of his ministers, and their clothing, and his stewards, and their clothing, and his burnt-offering that he offered up in the house of YHWH, and there has not been anymore spirit in her.
chakudya cha pa tebulo pake, moyo wa antchito ake ndi zovala zawo; atumiki opereka zakumwa ndi zovala zawo ndiponso nsembe zopsereza zimene ankapereka ku Nyumba ya Yehova, inathedwa nzeru.
5 And she says to the king, “The word [is] true that I heard in my land concerning your matters and concerning your wisdom,
Iyo inati kwa mfumu, “Mbiri imene ndinamva ndili ku dziko kwathu, ya zomwe munachita komanso nzeru zanu ndi yoona.
6 and I have given no credence to their words until I have come and my eyes see, and behold, there has not been declared to me the half of the abundance of your wisdom—you have added to the report that I heard.
Koma sindinakhulupirire zimene ankanena mpaka nditafika ndi kuona ndi maso anga. Kunena zoona sanandiwuze ngakhale theka lomwe la kuchuluka kwa nzeru zanu, pakuti zaposa zimene ndinamva.
7 O the blessedness of your men, and the blessedness of your servants—these—who are standing before you continually, and hearing your wisdom.
Ngodala anthu anu! Ngodala atumiki anu amene amayimirira pamaso panu nthawi zonse ndi kumamva nzeru zanu!
8 Let your God YHWH be blessed who has delighted in you to put you on His throne for king for your God YHWH; in the love of your God to Israel, to establish it for all time, He has put you over them for king, to do judgment and righteousness.”
Atamandike Yehova Mulungu wanu amene wakondwera nanu nakukhazikani pa mpando wake waufumu kuti mulamulire mʼmalo mwa Yehova Mulungu wanu. Chifukwa cha chikondi cha Mulungu wanu pa Israeli, ndi khumbo lake kuti akusungeni mpaka muyaya, Iye wayika inu kukhala mfumu yawo kuti mulamulire moyenera ndi mwachilungamo.”
9 And she gives to the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices in great abundance, and precious stone; and there has not been any such spice as the queen of Sheba has given to King Solomon.
Kenaka iyo inapereka kwa mfumu makilogalamu 4,000 a golide, zonunkhira zambirimbiri ndi miyala yokongola. Nʼkale lomwe sikunaonekenso zonunkhiritsa ngati zomwe mfumu yayikazi ya ku Seba inapereka kwa mfumu Solomoni.
10 And also, servants of Huram, and servants of Solomon, who brought in gold from Ophir, have brought in algum-trees and precious stone.
(Anthu a Hiramu ndi anthu a Solomoni anabweretsa golide kuchokera ku Ofiri ndipo anabweretsanso mitengo ya mʼbawa ndi miyala yokongola.
11 And the king makes the algum-trees [into] staircases for the house of YHWH, and for the house of the king, and harps and psalteries for singers; and there have been none seen like these before in the land of Judah.
Mfumu inagwiritsa ntchito mitengo ya mʼbawa pokonzera makwerero a Nyumba ya Yehova ndi nyumba yaufumu ndiponso kupangira anthu oyimba apangwe ndi azeze. Zinthu zonga zimenezi sizinaonekeponso mu Yuda).
12 And King Solomon has given to the queen of Sheba all her desire that she asked, apart from that which she had brought to the king, and she turns and goes to her land, she and her servants.
Mfumu Solomoni inapereka kwa mfumu yayikazi ya ku Seba zonse zimene inazifuna ndi kuzipempha ndipo Solomoni anayipatsa mfumuyo zoposa zimene iyo inabweretsa kwa Solomoni. Ndipo mfumuyo inabwerera ku dziko lake pamodzi ndi atumiki ake.
13 And the weight of the gold that is coming to Solomon in one year is six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold,
Kulemera kwa golide amene Solomoni amalandira pa chaka kunali makilogalamu 23,000,
14 apart from [what] the tourists and the merchants are bringing in; and all the kings of Arabia, and the governors of the land, are bringing in gold and silver to Solomon.
osawerengera amene ankabwera ndi anthu ochita malonda ndi osinthanitsa zinthu. Komanso mafumu onse a ku Arabiya ndi abwanamkubwa a mʼdzikomo amabweretsa golide ndi siliva kwa Solomoni.
15 And King Solomon makes two hundred bucklers of alloyed gold—he causes six hundred [shekels] of alloyed gold to go up on the one buckler;
Mfumu Solomoni inapanga zishango zazikulu 200 zagolide wosasantha. Mʼchishango chilichonse mumalowa golide wolemera makilogalamu asanu ndi awiri.
16 and three hundred shields of alloyed gold—he causes three hundred [shekels] of gold to go up on the one shield, and the king puts them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon.
Iye anapanganso zishango zingʼonozingʼono 300 zagolide wosasantha ndipo chishango chilichonse chimapangidwa ndi golide wolemera makilogalamu atatu. Mfumu inayika zishangozi mʼnyumba yaufumu yotchedwa Nkhalango ya Lebanoni.
17 And the king makes a great throne of ivory, and overlays it with pure gold;
Ndipo mfumu inapanganso mpando waukulu waufumu wa nyanga za njovu ndipo unakutidwa ndi golide woyengeka bwino.
18 and six steps [are] to the throne, and a footstool of gold, [and] they are fastened to the throne; and [places for] hands [are] on this [side] and on that [side] on the place of the sitting, and two lions are standing near the hands,
Mpando waufumuwo unali ndi makwerero asanu ndi limodzi ndi choyikapo mapazi cholumikizidwa ku mpandowo. Mʼmbali zonse za mpandowo munali zosanjikapo manja, ndi chifanizo cha mkango chitayima posanjikapo manjapo.
19 and twelve lions are standing there on the six steps on this [side] and on that [side]: it has not been made so for any kingdom.
Mikango khumi ndi iwiri inayimirira pa makwerero asanu ndi imodzi aja. Umodzi mbali ina ya khwerero ndi wina mbali inayo. Palibe mpando wonga uwu umene unapangidwapo mu ufumu wina uliwonse.
20 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—silver is not reckoned in the days of Solomon for anything;
Zikho zonse za mfumu Solomoni zinali zagolide, ndiponso zipangizo zonse za ku nyumba yaufumu ya Nkhalango ya Lebanoni zinali zagolide oyengeka bwino. Panalibe chinthu chopangidwa ndi siliva, chifukwa siliva samayesedwa kanthu mʼnthawi ya Solomoni.
21 for ships of the king are going to Tarshish with servants of Huram: once in three years the ships of Tarshish come carrying gold, and silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks [[or monkeys]].
Mfumu inali ndi sitima zambiri zapamadzi zimene zimayendetsedwa ndi antchito a Hiramu. Zimabwera kamodzi pa zaka zitatu zilizonse zitanyamula golide, siliva ndi nyanga za njovu, ndiponso anyani ndi apusi.
22 And King Solomon becomes greater than any of the kings of the earth for riches and wisdom;
Mfumu Solomoni anapambana mafumu ena onse a dziko lapansi pa chuma ndi nzeru.
23 and all the kings of the earth are seeking the presence of Solomon to hear his wisdom that God has put in his heart,
Mafumu onse a dziko lapansi ankafunafuna kuonana ndi Solomoni kuti adzamve nzeru zimene Mulungu anayika mu mtima mwake.
24 and they are each bringing in his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, harness, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year.
Chaka ndi chaka, aliyense amene amabwera, amabweretsa mphatso monga zipangizo zasiliva ndi golide, mikanjo, zida zankhondo ndi zokometsera zakudya komanso akavalo ndi abulu.
25 And there are four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen for Solomon, and he placed them in cities of the chariot, and with the king in Jerusalem.
Solomoni anali ndi zipinda 4,000 zodyeramo akavalo ndi magaleta, ndi akavalo 12,000 amene amawasunga mʼmizinda yosungira magaleta ndiponso ena anali ndi iye ku Yerusalemu.
26 And he is ruling over all the kings from the River even to the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt.
Iye ankalamulira mafumu onse kuyambira ku mtsinje wa Yufurate mpaka ku dziko la Afilisti, kukafika ku malire a dziko la Igupto.
27 And the king makes the silver in Jerusalem as stones, and he has made the cedars as sycamores that [are] in the low country, for abundance,
Mfumu inasandutsa siliva kukhala wambiri ngati miyala wamba mu Yerusalemu ndipo mikungudza kukhala yochuluka ngati mitengo ya mkuyu ya ku zigwa.
28 and they are bringing out horses from Egypt to Solomon, and from all the lands.
Solomoni ankayitanitsa akavalo ake kuchokera ku Igupto ndi mayiko ena onse.
29 And the rest of the matters of Solomon, the first and the last, are they not written beside the matters of Nathan the prophet, and beside the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and with the visions of Iddo the seer concerning Jeroboam son of Nebat?
Tsono ntchito zina zonse za Solomoni, kuyambira pachiyambi mpaka kumaliza, kodi sizinalembedwa mʼbuku la mbiri la mneneri Natani, ndi mʼbuku la uneneri wa Ahiya wa ku Silo ndi mʼbuku la masomphenya a mlosi Ido, lokamba za Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati?
30 And Solomon reigns in Jerusalem over all Israel [for] forty years,
Solomoni analamulira Aisraeli onse ku Yerusalemu zaka makumi anayi.
31 and Solomon lies with his fathers, and they bury him in the city of his father David, and his son Rehoboam reigns in his stead.
Ndipo anamwalira nagona ndi makolo ake. Anayikidwa mʼmanda mu mzinda wa Davide abambo ake. Ndipo Rehobowamu, mwana wake, analowa ufumu mʼmalo mwake.
