2 Chronicles 9
1 When the queen of Sheba heard of Solomon's fame, she came to Jerusalem to test him with hard questions. She came with a very long caravan, with camels loaded with spices, much gold, and many precious gemstones. When she had come to Solomon, she told him all that was in her heart.
A LOHE ke alii wahine o Seba i ke kaulana o Solomona, hele mai ia i Ierusalema e hoao ia Solomona i na mea pohihihi, me ka huakai nui, me na kamelo e lawe ana i na mea ala, a me ke gula he nui, a me na pohaku makamae; a hiki kela io Solomona la, kamailio pu oia me ia i na mea a pau loa iloko o kona naau.
2 Solomon answered her all her questions; nothing was too difficult for Solomon; there was no question that he did not answer.
A hai aku o Solomona ia ia i na mea a pau loa ana i ninau ai; aohe mea i koe a Solomona i hai ole aku ai ia ia.
3 When the queen of Sheba saw Solomon's wisdom and the palace that he had built,
A ike ke alii wahine o Seba i ka naauao o Solomona, a me ka hale ana i kukulu ai,
4 the food on his table, the seating of his servants, the work of his servants and their clothing, also his cupbearers and their clothing, and the burnt offerings he made at the house of Yahweh, and there was no more breath in her.
A me ka ai o kona papaaina, a me ka noho ana o kana poe kauwa, a me ke ku ana o kana poe lawelawe, a me ko lakou kahiko ana; a i ka poe lawe kiaha a me ko lakou kahiko ana, a me ke ala kahi i pii ai oia iluna i ka hale o Iehova; aole hanu i koe iloko ona.
5 She said to the king, “It is true, the report that I heard in my own land of your words and your wisdom.
Olelo aku la ia i ke alii, He oiaio ka mea a'u i lohe ai ma kuu aina no kau hana ana a me kou naauao.
6 I did not believe what I heard until I came here, and now my eyes have seen it. Not half was told me about your wisdom and wealth! You have exceeded the fame that I heard about.
Aole nae i hoomaopopo i ka lakou olelo, a hiki mai au, a ike ko'u mau maka; aia hoi, aole i haiia mai ia'u ka hapalua o kou nui, a me kou naauao; ua hooi aku oe i ka lono ana a'u i lohe ai.
7 How blessed are your people, and how blessed are your servants who constantly stand before you, because they hear your wisdom.
Pomaikai kou poe kanaka, a pomaikai hoi keia poe kauwa au, ka poe e ku mau ana imua o kou alo, a e lohe ana hoi i kou naauao.
8 Blessed be Yahweh your God, who has taken pleasure in you, who placed you on his throne, to be king for Yahweh your God. Because your God loved Israel, in order to establish them forever, he had made you king over them, for you to do justice and righteousness!”
E hoomaikaiia o Iehova kou Akua, ka mea i makemake mai ia oe e hoonoho ia oe maluna o kona nohoalii, i alii no Iehova no kou Akua; no ke aloha ana o kou Akua i ka Iseraela, a me kona hookupaa mau loa ana ia lakou, nolaila oia i hoonoho iho ai ia oe maluna o lakou i alii e hana i ka pono a me ka pololei.
9 She gave the king 120 talents of gold and a large amount of spices and precious stones. No greater amount of spices as these that the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon was ever given to him again.
A haawi mai la oia i ke alii i hookahi haneri talena gula a me ka iwakalua, a me na mea ala he nui loa, a me na pohaku makamae; aohe mea ala e ae e like me ka mea a ke alii wahine no Seba i haawi mai ai i ke alii ia Solomona.
10 The servants of Hiram and the servants of Solomon, who brought gold from Ophir, also brought algum wood and precious stones.
A o na kauwa a Hurama a me na kauwa a Solomona ka poe i lawe i ke gula mai Opira mai, lawe no hoi lakou i na laau aleguma a me na pohaku makamae.
11 With the algum wood, the king made steps for the house of Yahweh and for his house, as well as harps and lyres for the musicians. No wood like this had been seen before in the land of Judah.
Hana iho la o Solomona me ka laau aleguma i alapii no ka hale o Iehova, a no ka hale o ke alii, a me na mea kani, a me na kuolo kani no ka poe mele; aole i ikeia na mea e like me ua mau mea la ma ka aina o Iuda.
12 King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba everything she desired and whatever she asked for; he gave her more than what she had brought to the king. So she left and went back to her own land, she and her servants.
A haawi aku la ke alii o Solomona i ke alii wahine no Seba i kona makemake a pau, na mea ana i noi mai ai, o na mea kekahi ana i haawi mai ai na ke alii: alaila, huli ae la oia a hele aku la i kona aina, oia a me kana poe kauwa.
13 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was 666 talents of gold,
A o ke kaupaona ana o ke gula i laweia ia Solomona i ka makahiki hookahi, eono haneri a me kanaonokumamaono talena gula:
14 besides the gold that the traders and merchants brought. All the kings of Arabia and the governors in the country also brought gold and silver to Solomon.
Okoa ka mea a ka poe kuai, a me ka poe kalepa i lawe mai ai: a o na'lii a pau o Arabia, a me na kiaaina, lawe mai la lakou i ke gula, a me ke kala ia Solomona.
15 King Solomon made two hundred large shields of beaten gold. Six hundred shekels of gold went into each one.
Hana iho la o Solomona ke alii i na paleumauma gula maemae ole elua haneri; eono haneri sekela gula maemae ole ma ka paleumauma hookahi.
16 He also made three hundred shields of beaten gold. Three minas of gold went into each shield; the king put them into the House of the Forest of Lebanon.
A me na palekaua gula maemae ole ekolu haneri; ekolu haneri sekela gula maemae ole ma ka palekaua hookahi; a waiho iho la ke ahi ia mau mea iloko o ka hale o ka ululaau o Lebanona.
17 Then the king made a great throne of ivory and overlaid it with the finest gold.
A hana iho la ke alii i nohoalii niho elepani a nui, a uhi oia ia mea i ke gula maemae.
18 There were six steps to the throne, and a footstool was attached to the throne. On each side of the throne there were armrests with two lions standing beside each of them.
Eono anuu i ka nohoalii, a he paepae wawae gula, e pili ana i ka nohoalii, a me na kalele ma kela aoao a me keia aoao o kahi e noho ai, a elua liona e ku ana ma keia mau aoao.
19 Twelve lions stood on the steps, one on each side of each of the six steps. There was no throne like it in any other kingdom.
O na liona he umikumamalua i ka malaila maluna o na anuu, eono ma kela aoao a ma keia aoao; aohe mea e like ai i hanaia ma na aupuni a pau.
20 All King Solomon's drinking cups were gold, and all the drinking cups in the House of the Forest of Lebanon were of pure gold. None were silver because silver was not considered valuable in Solomon's days.
A o na kiaha inu a pau loa o ke alii, o Solomona, he gula no; a o na ipu a pau o ka hale o ka ululaau o Lebanona he gula maemae; aole he kala kekahi, ua manaia oia he mea ole, i na la o Solomona.
21 The king had at sea a fleet of oceangoing ships, along with the fleet of Hiram. Once every three years the fleet brought gold, silver, and ivory, as well as apes and baboons.
No ka mea, holo na moku o ke alii ma Taresisa me na kauwa a Hurama, hookahi ku ana o na moku o Taresisa i na makahiki ekolu, e lawe mai ana i ke gula, a me ke kala a me na niho elepani, a me na keko a me na pikaka.
22 So King Solomon exceeded all the kings of the world in riches and in wisdom.
A oi e aku o Solomona mamua o na'lii a pau loa o ka honua ma ka waiwai a me ka naauao.
23 All the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon in order to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
Ua imi na'lii a pau o ka honua i ke alo o Solomona e lohe i kona naauao, ka mea a ke Akua i hookomo ai iloko o kona naau.
24 Those who visited brought tribute, vessels of silver and of gold, clothes, armor, and spices, as well as horses and mules, year after year.
A lawe mai lakou, kela mea keia mea, i kana makana, i na ipu kala, a me na ipu gula, a me na aahu, a me na mea kaua, a me na mea ala, a me na lio, a me na hoki, he haawina i kela makahiki i keia makahiki.
25 Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, which he stationed in the chariot cities and with himself in Jerusalem.
Aia no ia Solomona na kauhale, kahi no na lio, a no na halekaa eha tausani, a me na hoohololio he umikumamalua tausani; a hoonoho oia ia lakou iloko o na kulanakauhale no na kaa, a ma Ierusalema kekahi me ke alii.
26 He ruled over all the kings from the Euphrates River to the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt.
A noho alii oia maluna o na'lii a pau mai ka muliwai a hiki i ka aina o Pilisetia, a i ka mokuna o Aigupita.
27 The king had silver in Jerusalem, as much as the stones on the ground. He made cedar wood to be as abundant as the sycamore fig trees that are in the lowlands.
A hoolilo ae la ke alii i ke kala ma Ierusalema e like me na pohaku, a haawi mai i na laau kedera e like me na laau sukamorea ma ke awawa i nui loa.
28 They brought horses for Solomon from Egypt and from all the lands.
A ua kaiia mai na lio no Solomona mai Aigupita mai, a mailoko mai o na aina a pau.
29 As for the other matters concerning Solomon, first and last, are they not written in The History of Nathan the Prophet, in The Prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in The Visions of Iddo the Seer (which also had information about Jeroboam son of Nebat)?
A o na mea i koe a Solomona i hana'i, mamua, a mahope hoi, aole anei i kakauia ia mau mea ma ka palapala a Natana, ke kaula, a me ka wanana a Ahiia no Siloni, a ma ka wanana a Ido ana i wanana ai no Ieroboama ke keiki a Nebata?
30 Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel for forty years.
A noho alii o Solomona ma Ierusalema maluna o ka Iseraela a pau i na makahiki hookahi kanaha.
31 He slept with his ancestors and the people buried him in the city of David his father. Rehoboam, his son, became king in his place.
A hiamoe iho la o Solomona me kona mau makua, a kanu lakou ia ia ma ke kulanakauhale o Davida o kona makua, a noho alii iho la o Rehoboama mahope ona.
