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,
Bere a Seba hemmea tee Salomo nka no, ɔbaa Yerusalem sɛ ɔde nsɛm a anoyi yɛ den rebɛsɔ no ahwɛ. Ɔne nʼasomfo bebree, yoma pii a wɔahyehyɛ nnuhuam, sikakɔkɔɔ bebree ne mpempranne wɔ wɔn so na ɛbae.
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.
Ohyiaa Salomo no, wodii biribiara a enti ɔbaa saa nsrahwɛ no ho nkɔmmɔ, maa Salomo yii ne nsɛmmisa nyinaa ano sɛnea ɛsɛ.
3 And the queen of Sheba sees the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he has built,
Bere a Sebahemmea huu sɛnea Salomo adwene mu dɔ, ne ahemfi a wasi no,
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.
ne ho dwiriw no. Ohuu nnuan a esisi ne didipon so no, sɛnea watoto nʼadwumayɛfo ne ntade fɛɛfɛ a wɔhyehyɛ, kuruwakurafo ne wɔn ntade yuu ne ɔhyew afɔre a Salomo abɔ wɔ Awurade Asɔredan mu no, ɛyɛɛ no nwonwa.
5 And she says to the king, “The word [is] true that I heard in my land concerning your matters and concerning your wisdom,
Ofi ahodwiriw mu ka kyerɛɛ ɔhene no se, “Biribiara a metee wɔ me kurom a ɛfa nea woatumi ayɛ ne wo nyansa ho no yɛ nokware.
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.
Mannye anni kosii sɛ mʼankasa mebaa ha de mʼani kann abehu. Nokware, mante emu fa mpo. Wo nyansa no boro nea wɔka kyerɛɛ me no so koraa.
7 O the blessedness of your men, and the blessedness of your servants—these—who are standing before you continually, and hearing your wisdom.
Migye di sɛ ɛsɛ sɛ wo nkurɔfo yi ani gye! Ɛyɛ adom ma wʼadwumayɛfo yi sɛ wotumi bɛn wo adekyee biara na wotie wo nyansasɛm.
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.”
Awurade, wo Nyankopɔn yɛ ɔkɛse ampa. Nʼani gye wo ho nti, ɔde wo asi ahengua so sɛ di hene ma no. Efisɛ Onyankopɔn pɛ Israel asɛm dodo, na ɔpɛ sɛ saa ahenni yi tena afebɔɔ; wasi wo hene sɛnea wode nokware ne atɛntrenee bebu ɔman no.”
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.
Afei, ɔmaa ɔhene no sikakɔkɔɔ akyɛde a ɛkari tɔn 4 ne nnuhuam pii ne aboɔden mpempranne. Seba hemmea nnuhuam a ɔde maa Salomo no so bi mmaa da.
10 And also, servants of Huram, and servants of Solomon, who brought in gold from Ophir, have brought in algum-trees and precious stone.
Bere a Huram hyɛn mufo ne Salomo nkurɔfo de sikakɔkɔɔ fi Ofir bae no, wɔde ɔbako nnua pa bebree ne mpempranne kaa ho bae.
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.
Ɔhene no de ɔbako nnua no yɛɛ Awurade Asɔredan ne ahemfi no atrapoe. Ɔde bi nso yɛɛ asankuten ne mmɛnta maa nnwom ho nimdefo no. Na saa nnwontode no so bi mmaa da wɔ 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.
Biribiara a Seba hemmea bisaa ɔhene Salomo no, ɔde maa no. Na ɛyɛ akyɛde a ɛsom bo pa ara, na ɛboro nea ɔhemmea de brɛɛ no no so. Afei, ɔhemmea no ne nʼasomfo no san kɔɔ wɔn ankasa asase so.
13 And the weight of the gold that is coming to Solomon in one year is six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold,
Afe biara, na sikakɔkɔɔ a ɛba Salomo nsam no yɛ tɔn aduonu anum.
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.
Na sika a onya fi aguadifo nkyɛn no nka eyi ho. Na Arabia ahemfo nyinaa ne amradofo a wɔwɔ asase no so nyinaa brɛ Salomo sikakɔkɔɔ ne dwetɛ.
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;
Ɔhene Salomo ma wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ a wɔaboro yɛɛ akyɛm akɛse ahannu a emu biara sikakɔkɔɔ a ɛwɔ mu no mu duru yɛ kilogram ason.
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.
Ɔsan yɛɛ sikakɔkɔɔ nkatabo nketewa ahaasa a wɔde asae aboro a na sikakɔkɔɔ a wɔde yɛɛ emu biara no mu duru bɛyɛ kilogram abiɛsa ne fa. Ɔhene no kɔkoraa saa nkatabo no wɔ Lebanon Kwae Ahemfi mu.
17 And the king makes a great throne of ivory, and overlays it with pure gold;
Afei, ɔhene no de asonse yɛɛ ahengua kɛse bi, na ɔde sikakɔkɔɔ ankasa guu ho.
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,
Na ahengua no wɔ atrapoe asia a wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ ntiasode afam ho. Ahengua no wɔ nsa wɔ benkum. Ne nifa na gyata sɛso nso gyinagyina afa ne fa wɔ ahengua no ho.
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.
Salomo san yɛɛ gyata sɛso dumien a ɔbaako biara gyina atrapoe ntiaso asia no mu biara benkum ne nifa. Ahengua biara nni wiase a wobetumi de atoto Salomo de no ho.
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;
Ɔhene Salomo nkuruwa nyinaa, sikakɔkɔɔ na wɔde yɛe. Saa ara na nneɛma ahorow a ɛwɔ Lebanon Kwae Ahemfi mu no nso te. Wɔamfa dwetɛ anyɛ, efisɛ Salomo bere so no, na wobu dwetɛ ade teta bi.
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]].
Na ɔhene no wɔ aguadi ahyɛn a emu adwumayɛfo yɛ Huram asomfo. Mfe abiɛsa biara, ahyɛn no ba a, wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ, dwetɛ, asonse, nsoroboa ne asibe brɛ ɔhene no.
22 And King Solomon becomes greater than any of the kings of the earth for riches and wisdom;
Enti ɔhene Salomo bɛyɛɛ ɔdefo ne onyansafo sen ɔhene biara wɔ asase so nyinaa.
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,
Ahemfo fifi aman nyinaa so bɛsraa no, tiee ne nyansasɛm a Onyankopɔn de adom no no bi.
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.
Afe biara, obiara a ɔbɛba abɛsra no no, ɔbrɛ no akyɛde te sɛ dwetɛ, sikakɔkɔɔ, ntade, akode, nnuhuam, apɔnkɔ ne funumpɔnkɔ.
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.
Na Salomo wɔ apɔnkɔdan mpem anan a ne nteaseɛnam apɔnkɔ da mu ne apɔnkɔ mpem dumien. Ɔde mu fa kɛse no kɔɔ nkurow a ne nteaseɛnam wɔ mu, na ɔmaa bi nso bɛn no wɔ Yerusalem.
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.
Odii hene bunkam faa ahemfo nyinaa so, fi Asubɔnten Eufrate ano de kosi Filistifo asase ne Misraim hye so.
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,
Ɔhene no maa dwetɛ buu so ma ɛyɛɛ sɛ abo wɔ Yerusalem. Sida nnua nso, onya ma ebuu ne so te sɛ ankye nnua a enyin wɔ Yuda mmepɔw ase no.
28 and they are bringing out horses from Egypt to Solomon, and from all the lands.
Na wɔtɔ Salomo apɔnkɔ fi Misraim ne aman ahorow bebree so.
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?
Salomo ahenni ho nsɛm nkae, fi mfiase kosi awiei no, wɔankyerɛw angu odiyifo Natan nhoma, Ahiya a ofi Silon adiyisɛm ne nhumuni Ido anisoadehu a ɛfa Nebat babarima Yeroboam ho no mu ana?
30 And Solomon reigns in Jerusalem over all Israel [for] forty years,
Salomo tenaa Yerusalem dii Israel nyinaa so hene mfirihyia aduanan.
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.
Owui no, wosiee no wɔ nʼagya Dawid kurom. Ne babarima Rehoboam na odii nʼade sɛ ɔhene.
