1 Kings 10
1 When the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of the LORD, she came to prove him with hard questions.
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 She came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels that bore spices, and very much gold, and precious stones; and when she had come to Solomon, she talked with him of all that was in 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 Solomon told her all her questions: there was not anything hidden from the king which he did not tell her.
Salomon te reponn a tout kesyon li yo; anyen pa t kache a wa a pou l pa t eksplike li.
4 When the queen of Sheba had seen all the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had 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 attendance of his ministers, and their clothing, and his cup bearers, and his burnt offerings which he presented at the house of the LORD; it left her breathless.
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 She said to the king, "It was a true report that I heard in my own land of your acts, and of 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 However I did not believe the words, until I came, and my eyes had seen it. Look, the half was not told me. Your wisdom and prosperity exceed the fame which 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 Happy are your wives, happy are these your servants, who stand continually before you, who hear your wisdom.
Jan mesye pa ou yo beni! Beni se sèvitè ki kanpe devan ou yo tout tan pou tande sajès ou.
9 Blessed is the LORD your God, who delighted in you, to set you on the throne of Israel. Because of the LORD's everlasting love for Israel, therefore he made you king, to do justice 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 She gave the king one hundred twenty talents of gold, and of spices very great store, and precious stones. There came no more such abundance of spices as these which 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 The navy also of Hiram, that brought gold from Ophir, brought in from Ophir great plenty of almug trees and precious stones.
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 The king made of the almug trees pillars for the house of the LORD, and for the king's house, harps also and stringed instruments for the singers: there came no such almug trees, nor were seen, 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 King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she asked, besides that which Solomon gave her of his royal bounty. So she turned, and went to her own 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 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was 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 besides that which the traders brought, and the traffic of the merchants, and of all the kings of Arabia, and of the governors of the country.
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 King Solomon made two hundred large shields of beaten gold; six hundred shekels of gold went to each shield.
Wa Salomon te fè de-san gran boukliye avèk lò bat avèk sis-san sik lò nan chak gran boukliye.
17 He made three hundred shields of beaten gold; three minas of gold went to one shield: and the king put 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 Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with the finest gold.
Anplis, wa a te fè yon gwo twòn avèk ivwa e li te kouvri li avèk lò rafine.
19 There were six steps to the throne, and the top of the throne was round behind; and there were stays on either side by the place of the seat, and two lions standing beside the stays.
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 Twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other on the six steps: there was nothing like it made in 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 king Solomon's drinking vessels were of gold, and washing vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold. None were of silver; it was not considered anything in the days of Solomon.
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 had at sea a navy of Tarshish with the navy of Hiram: once every three years came the navy of Tarshish, bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
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 So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth in riches and in wisdom.
Konsa, Wa Salomon te vin pi gran ke tout wa sou latè yo nan richès avèk sajès.
24 All the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
Tout latè t ap chache prezans a Salomon pou tande sajès li ke Bondye te mete nan kè li.
25 They brought every man his tribute, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and clothing, and armor, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by 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 Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, that he bestowed in the chariot cities, and with the king at 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 The king made silver to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he to be as the sycamore trees that are in the lowland, 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 The horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt and Kue; and the king's merchants received them from Kue 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 came up and went out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred pieces of silver, and a horse for one hundred fifty; and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Aram, they brought them out by their means.
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.
