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.
Tango mwasi mokonzi ya Saba ayokaki sango ya lokumu ya Salomo, ayaki na Yelusalemi mpo na komeka ye na nzela ya mituna ya makasi; ayaki elongo na bato ebele mpe bashamo oyo ememaki biloko ya mike-mike oyo epesaka solo kitoko, wolo ebele mpe mabanga ya talo. Tango akomaki epai ya Salomo, ayebisaki ye nyonso oyo azalaki na yango kati na motema.
2 Solomon answered her all her questions; nothing was too difficult for Solomon; there was no question that he did not answer.
Salomo apesaki ye biyano na mituna na ye nyonso; ezalaki ata na motuna moko te oyo Salomo alongaki te kopesa eyano.
3 When the queen of Sheba saw Solomon's wisdom and the palace that he had built,
Tango mwasi mokonzi ya Saba amonaki bwanya ya Salomo, ndako oyo atongaki,
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.
bilei oyo azalaki kolia na mesa na ye, ndako ya basali na ye, esaleli mpe elateli ya basali na ye, basali oyo bapesaka ye masanga mpe bambeka ya kotumba oyo azalaki kobonza kati na Tempelo ya Yawe, mwasi mokonzi ya Saba akamwaki makasi.
5 She said to the king, “It is true, the report that I heard in my own land of your words and your wisdom.
Alobaki na mokonzi: « Makambo oyo nayokaki wuta na mokili na ngai na tina na misala mpe na bwanya na yo ezali ya solo!
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.
Nandimaki te makambo oyo bazalaki koloba na tina na yango kino tango ngai moko nayei mpe namoni yango na miso na ngai moko. Nzokande, kolanda oyo ngai namoni, makambo oyo bayebisaki ngai te na tina na bwanya yango ezali penza kati-kati! Solo, oleki sango ya lokumu oyo nayokaki na tina na yo!
7 How blessed are your people, and how blessed are your servants who constantly stand before you, because they hear your wisdom.
Esengo na bato na yo, esengo na basali na yo, oyo batelemaka tango nyonso liboso na yo mpe bayokaka maloba na yo, oyo etonda na bwanya!
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!”
Tika ete Yawe, Nzambe na yo, apambolama; Ye oyo asepelaki na yo mpe atiaki yo na kiti na Ye ya bokonzi lokola mokonzi mpo na kosalela Yawe, Nzambe na yo! Ezali mpo ete Nzambe na yo alingaka Isalaele mpe alingi ete ewumela mpo na libela nde atiaki yo lokola mokonzi na yango, mpo ete osala na bosolo mpe na bosembo. »
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.
Mwasi mokonzi ya Saba apesaki mokonzi Salomo bakilo nkoto misato na nkama mitano ya wolo, biloko ebele penza ya solo kitoko mpe mabanga ya talo. Etikala lisusu kozala te na biloko ebele ya solo kitoko lokola biloko oyo mwasi mokonzi ya Saba amemelaki mokonzi Salomo.
10 The servants of Hiram and the servants of Solomon, who brought gold from Ophir, also brought algum wood and precious stones.
Lisusu, basali ya Irami mpe ya Salomo, oyo bamemaki wolo wuta na Ofiri bamemaki mpe mabaya ya santale mpe mabanga ya talo.
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.
Mokonzi asalaki na mabaya wana ya santale makonzi ya Tempelo ya Yawe mpe ya ndako ya mokonzi, banzenze mpe mandanda mpo na bayembi. Batikalaki nanu komona nyonso wana te kati na mokili ya Yuda.
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.
Na ngambo na ye, mokonzi Salomo apesaki na mwasi mokonzi ya Saba biloko nyonso oyo azalaki na yango posa mpe oyo asengaki, koleka kutu biloko oyo amemelaki mokonzi. Sima na yango, mwasi mokonzi ya Saba azongaki elongo na basali na ye, na mokili na ye.
13 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was 666 talents of gold,
Mobu na mobu, Salomo azalaki kozwa bakilo ya wolo nkoto tuku mibale,
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.
mbongo ya mpako ya bato ya mombongo oyo bazalaki koteka biloko oyo bazalaki kosomba na bamboka ya bapaya, mpe mbongo ya mpako ya bateki biloko ya ndenge na ndenge. Bakonzi nyonso ya Arabi mpe bayangeli ya bituka bazalaki komema wolo mpe palata epai ya Salomo.
15 King Solomon made two hundred large shields of beaten gold. Six hundred shekels of gold went into each one.
Mokonzi Salomo asalisaki na wolo batuta banguba minene nkama mibale; nguba moko na moko esengaki bakilo motoba ya wolo.
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.
Asalisaki lisusu na wolo batuta banguba mike nkama misato; nguba moko na moko ya moke esengaki bakilo misato ya wolo. Mokonzi atiaki yango kati na ndako na ye, oyo bazalaki kobenga « ndako ya zamba ya Libani. »
17 Then the king made a great throne of ivory and overlaid it with the finest gold.
Mokonzi asalaki na pembe ya nzoko kiti moko monene ya bokonzi mpe abambaki yango wolo ya peto.
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.
Kiti yango ya bokonzi ezalaki na ematelo ya binyatelo motoba, enyatelo makolo ya wolo ekanganaki na kiti. Na bangambo nyonso mibale, ezalaki na bisika ya kotia maboko, mpe bikeko mibale ya nkosi na pembeni ya bisika ya kotia maboko.
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.
Bikeko zomi na mibale ya nkosi ezalaki na likolo ya binyatelo motoba ya ematelo: enyatelo moko na moko ezalaki na bikeko mibale, ekeko moko na ngambo moko na moko. Kati na mikili nyonso, eloko ya ndenge wana etikala nanu kosalema te.
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.
Bakopo nyonso ya mokonzi Salomo ezalaki ya wolo, mpe biloko nyonso ya ndako ya Zamba ya Libani ezalaki ya wolo ya peto. Pamba te, na tango oyo Salomo azalaki mokonzi, palata ezalaki na motuya ata te.
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.
Mokonzi azalaki na bamasuwa oyo ezalaki kokende na Tarsisi, elongo na basali ya Irami. Sima na mibu nyonso misato, bamasuwa ezalaki kozonga wuta na Tarsisi mpe ezalaki komema wolo, palata, pembe ya nzoko, bamakaku mpe bandeke oyo babengaka « Paoni. »
22 So King Solomon exceeded all the kings of the world in riches and in wisdom.
Mokonzi Salomo alekaki bakonzi nyonso ya mokili na bozwi mpe na bwanya.
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.
Bakonzi nyonso ya mokili bazalaki koluka kokutana na Salomo mpo na koyoka bwanya oyo Nzambe atiaki kati na motema na ye.
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.
Moko na moko azalaki komemela ye lokola kado biloko ya palata, biloko ya wolo, bilamba, bibundeli, biloko ya mike-mike ya solo kitoko, bampunda mpe bamile. Mpe ezalaki bongo mibu nyonso.
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.
Salomo azalaki na bashambre nkoto minei mpo na kobomba bampunda elongo na bashar, mpe batambolisi nkoto zomi na mibale mpo na bashar. Atiaki yango kati na bingumba ya bashar mpe epai na ye, Salomo, kati na Yelusalemi.
26 He ruled over all the kings from the Euphrates River to the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt.
Azalaki likolo ya bakonzi nyonso, longwa na Ebale (Efrate) kino na mokili ya bato ya Filisitia mpe na mondelo ya Ejipito.
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.
Mokonzi asalaki ete palata ekoma ebele kati na Yelusalemi lokola mabanga, mpe banzete ya sedele ekoma ebele lokola banzete ya sikomori oyo ezali kati na mokili ya lubwaku.
28 They brought horses for Solomon from Egypt and from all the lands.
Bampunda ya Salomo ezalaki kowuta na Ejipito mpe na mikili mosusu.
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)?
Makambo mosusu oyo etali bokonzi ya Salomo, kobanda na ebandeli kino na suka, ekomama kati na buku ya misala ya mosakoli Natan, ya mosakoli Ayiya, moto ya Silo; mpe kati na buku ya bimoniseli ya Yedo, momoni makambo, na tina na Jeroboami, mwana mobali ya Nebati.
30 Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel for forty years.
Salomo akonzaki Isalaele mobimba mibu tuku minei, na Yelusalemi.
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.
Bongo Salomo akendeki kokutana na bakoko na ye, mpe bakundaki ye kati na engumba ya Davidi, tata na ye. Mwana na ye, Roboami, akitanaki na ye na bokonzi.
