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.
Ie jinanji’ty mpanjaka-ampela’ i Sebà ty enge’ i Selomò, le nimb’e Ierosalaime mb’eo hitsoke i Selomò am’ ontane sarotse; valobohòke ra’elahy ty nikovovòke nindre ama’e mb’eo; ninday raha mafiry o rameva’eo naho volamena tsifotofoto naho vato soa; aa ie nandoak’ amy Selomò eo le hene nisaontsia’e ze añ’arofo’e ao.
2 Solomon answered her all her questions; nothing was too difficult for Solomon; there was no question that he did not answer.
Tinoi’ i Selomò aze iaby ontane’eo vaho tsy eo ty raha nietak’ amy Selomò ty tsy nampandrendreha’e.
3 When the queen of Sheba saw Solomon's wisdom and the palace that he had built,
Ie nioni’ i mpanjaka-ampela’ i Sebày ty hihi’ i Selomò naho i anjomba’ niranjie’ey,
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.
naho o mahakama am-pandambaña’eo naho o fiambesam-pitoro’eo naho ty fiatrafa’ o mpiatra’eo naho ty saro’ iareo; naho o mpitàm-pitovi’eo naho o siki’ iareoo; vaho ty fanongañe nionjona’e mb’añ’anjomba’ Iehovà mb’ eo, le tsy nahakofòke.
5 She said to the king, “It is true, the report that I heard in my own land of your words and your wisdom.
Le hoe re amy mpanjakay, Talily to ty nitsanoñeko an-taneko añe ty amo fitoloña’oo naho o hihi’oo,
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.
le tsy niantofako heike o saontsi’eo naho tsy nivotrake etoan-draho vaho nitrea’ o masokoo; le hehe te tsy nisaontsieñ’ amako ty vakin-kaliforan-kihi’o; fa nilikoare’o ty enge nitsanoñeko.
7 How blessed are your people, and how blessed are your servants who constantly stand before you, because they hear your wisdom.
Haha ondati’oo naho fale o mpitoro’o mijohañe nainai’e añatrefa’oo, mijanjiñe o hihi’oo.
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!”
Andriañeñe t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’o nañisok’ azo, nampiambesatse azo am-piambesa’e eo, ho mpanjaka’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o, ty amy fikokoan’ Añahare Israeley, ie najado’e ho nainai’e donia; izay ty nanoe’e azo mpanjaka’ iareo, hanoa’o ty hatò naho ty havantañañe.
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.
Le natolo’e amy mpanjakay ty volamena talenta zato-tsi-roapolo naho fampafiriañe tsifotofoto vaho vatosoa; kanao le lia’e tsy nioniñe ty fampafiriañe manahake i natolo’ i mpanjaka ampela’ i Sebày amy Selomò mpanjaka.
10 The servants of Hiram and the servants of Solomon, who brought gold from Ophir, also brought algum wood and precious stones.
Ninday hatae màñitse naho vatosoa ka o mpitoro’ i Korame naho mpitoro’ i Selomò mpinday volamena boake Ofireo.
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.
Le namboara’ i mpanjakay fanongañe amy hatae màñitsey o lalañe mionjoñe mb’amy anjomba’ Iehovày naho mb’amy anjomba’ i mpanjakay mb’eoo mbore nanoa’e marovany naho jejobory o mpisaboo. Mbe lia’e tsy niisak’ an-tane Iehoda izay.
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.
Le natolo’ i Selomò mpanjaka amy mpanjaka-ampela’ i Sebày ze hene nirie’e, ze nihalalia’e naho tsy i natolo’e amy mpanjakay. Aa le nitolike re, nimpoly mb’an-tane’e añe, ie naho o mpitoro’eo.
13 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was 666 talents of gold,
Ie amy zay, ty lanjam-bolamena niheo mb’amy Selomò ami’ty taoñe le talenta volamena enen-jato-tsi-enem-polo-eneñ’ amby,
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.
ambone’ ty nendese’ o mpanao takinakeo naho o mpanao balibalikeo; vaho songa ninday volamena naho volafoty amy Selomò o mpanjaka’ Arabeo naho o mpifehe an-taneo.
15 King Solomon made two hundred large shields of beaten gold. Six hundred shekels of gold went into each one.
Nandranjy fikalan-defo roanjato am-bolamena pinepèke t’i Selomò; nanoeñe volamena pinepèke, le sekele enen-jato ty fikalandefo;
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.
vaho nanoe’e fikalandefo volamena pinepèke telon-jato; sindre sekelem-bolamena telonjato ty nanoeñe i fikalandefoñe rey; le nampizilihe’ i mpanjakay añ’ anjomban’ Ala’ i Lebanone ao.
17 Then the king made a great throne of ivory and overlaid it with the finest gold.
Mbore namboare’ i mpanjakay ty fiambesatse jabajaba an-tsifa vaho nipakora’e volamena ki’e.
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.
Fanongañe eneñe ty nitroatse amy fiambesatsey, volamena ka ty fitimpahañe nirekets’ amy fiambesatsey, miharo fisampezam-pitàñe añ’ ila’e roe’ i fiambesatsey vaho liona roe ty nijohañe marine i fisampezam-pitàñe rey.
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.
Liona folo-ro’ amby ty nijohañe añ’ila roe’ i fanongañe eneñe rey, tsy eo ty nanahak’ aze ndra am-pifeheañe aia.
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.
Songa volamena o fitovim-pikamà’ i Selomò mpanjakao vaho hene volamena ki’e o fanake añ’ anjomban’ ala’ i Lebanoneo, ie tsy am-bolafoty, fa tsy natao ho vara tañ’ andro’ i Selomò ty volafoty.
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.
Nanan-tsambo nionjomb’e Tarsise mindre amo mpitoro’ i Korameo i mpanjakay; boa-telo-taoñe ty nimpolia’ o sambo’ i Tarsiseo ninday volamena naho volafoty naho tsifa naho kofe vaho toký.
22 So King Solomon exceeded all the kings of the world in riches and in wisdom.
Aa le nilikoare’ i Selomò an-kihitse naho vara ze hene mpanjaka’ ty tane toy.
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.
Vaho songa nipay hiatrek’ amy Selomò o mpanjaka’ ty tane toio, hijanjiñe ze hihi’e najon’ Añahare añ’arofo’e ao.
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.
Le fonga ninday ravoravo mañeva ondatio: fanake volafoty naho fanake volamena naho sikiñe naho sikim-pikalañe naho fampifiriañe naho soavala vaho borìke, boa-tao-boa-taoñe.
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.
Nanan-trañon-tsoavala efats’ arivo t’i Selomò naho sarete naho mpiningitse rai-ale-tsi-roarivo, ie nampimoneña’e amo rovan-tsareteo naho amy mpanjaka e Ierosalaimey.
26 He ruled over all the kings from the Euphrates River to the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt.
Nifehe’e iaby o mpanjaka boak’amy Sakay pak’an-tane’ o nte-Pelistio ampara’ ty efe-tane’ i Mitsraime añe.
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.
Le nanoe’ i mpanjakay hoe vato ty volafoty e Ierosalaime naho hoe sakoañe am-bavatane ao o mendoraveñeo ami’ty hamaro’e.
28 They brought horses for Solomon from Egypt and from all the lands.
Le nendesa’ iareo soavala boake Mitsraime añe naho hirik’ amo tane iabio t’i Selomò mpanjaka.
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)?
Aa naho o fitoloña’ i Selomò ila’eo, ty valoha’e pak’ am-para’e, tsy fa sinokitse amo vinolili’ i Natane mpitokio hao naho amy fitokia’ i Akiià nte-Siloney vaho amo aroñaro’ Iedò mpitoky am’ Iarovame ana’ i Nebateo?
30 Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel for forty years.
Nifehe Israele iaby e Ierosalaime ao efa-polo taoñe t’i Selomò
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.
le nitrao-piròtse aman-droae’e t’i Selomò naho nalentek’ an-drova’ i Davide rae’e ao vaho nandimbe aze nifehe t’i Rekoboame ana’e.
