1 Kings 10
1 And 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.
Esi Seba fianyɔnu se ale si Solomo xɔ ŋkɔe kple kadodo si le eya kple Yehowa ƒe ŋkɔ dome la, eva be yeadoe kpɔ kple biabia sesẽ aɖewo.
2 And 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 communed with him of all that was in her heart.
Eva ɖo Yerusalem kple kposɔ geɖe siwo tsɔ atike ʋeʋĩwo, sika kple kpe xɔasiwo. Etsɔ nya geɖe siwo nɔ eƒe susu me la ɖo Solomo ƒe ŋkume.
3 And Solomon told her all her questions: there was not [any] thing hid from the king, which he told her not.
Fia Solomo te ŋu ɖo eƒe biabiawo katã ŋu, naneke menɔ ɣaɣla ɖee o. Enya nu sia nu eye wòte ŋu ɖe nu sia nu me nɛ.
4 And when the queen of Sheba had seen all Solomon's wisdom, and the house that he had built,
Esi fianyɔnu la kpɔ ale si gbegbe Solomo nya nu, ale si eƒe fiasã la nyoe,
5 And the provisions of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel, and his cup-bearers, and his ascent by which he went up to the house of the LORD; there was no more spirit in her.
nuɖuɖu nyui siwo woɖo kplɔ̃ dzi, subɔla geɖewo kple awu nyui siwo wodo, Fia la ƒe ahakulawo kple numevɔ geɖe siwo wòsana na Yehowa la, eƒe nu ku.
6 And she said to the king, It was a true report that I heard in my own land of thy acts and of thy wisdom.
Seba fianyɔnu la gblɔ na fia la be, “Nutsotso siwo katã mese le nye ŋutɔ nye dukɔ me tso wò dzidzedzekpɔkpɔwo kple wò nunya ŋu la nye nyateƒe.
7 Howbeit, I believed not the words, until I came, and my eyes had seen [it]: and behold, the half was not told me: thy wisdom and prosperity exceed the fame which I heard.
Nyemexɔe se o va se ɖe esime meva ɖo afi sia. Ke azɔ la, nye ŋutɔ mekpɔ wo katã na ɖokuinye! Kpɔ ɖa, womegblɔ ale si tututu nuwo le la ƒe afã gɔ̃ hã nam o! Wò nunya kple kesinɔtɔnyenye ƒo nu siwo katã mese kpɔ la ta!
8 Happy [are] thy men, happy [are] these thy servants, who stand continually before thee, [and] that hear thy wisdom.
Wò amewo akpɔ dzidzɔ ŋutɔ, dzidzɔ ka gbegbe wò dɔnunɔla siwo tsia tsitre ɖe wò ŋkume ɣe sia ɣi eye wosea wò nunya la makpɔ o!
9 Blessed be the LORD thy God, who delighted in thee, to set thee on the throne of Israel: because the LORD loved Israel for ever, therefore he made thee king, to do judgment and justice.
Woakafu Yehowa, wò Mawu, ame si tia wò eye wòtsɔ wò da ɖe Israel ƒe fiazikpui dzi. Yehowa ƒe lɔlɔ̃ mavɔ na Israel wɔe be, wòtsɔ wò na wo abe woƒe fia ene be nàdrɔ̃ ʋɔnu dzɔdzɔe eye nàɖu wò amewo dzi le mɔ dzɔdzɔe nu!”
10 And she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices a very great quantity, and precious stones: there came no more such abundance of spices as these which the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.
Eye Seba fianyɔnu la tsɔ sika tɔn ene, atikeʋeʋĩ gbogbo aɖewo kple kpe xɔasiwo na fia la. Ame aɖeke metsɔ atikeʋeʋĩ aɖeke vɛ kpɔ nenema abe esiwo Seba fianyɔnu la tsɔ na Fia Solomo ene o.
11 And the navy also of Hiram, that brought gold from Ophir, brought in from Ophir great plenty of almug trees, and precious stones.
Esi Fia Hiram ƒe tɔdziʋuwo tsɔ sika tso Ofir vɛ na Fia Solomo la, wotsɔ papawuti kple kpe xɔasi geɖewo hã vɛ nɛ.
12 And the king made of the almug trees pillars for the house of the LORD, and for the king's house, harps also and psalteries for singers: there came no such almug-trees, nor have they been seen to this day.
Solomo tsɔ papawutiawo wɔ sɔtiwo na gbedoxɔ la kple fiasã la kple saŋkuwo kple kasaŋkuwo na eƒe hadzilawo. Wometsɔ ati nyui sia tɔgbi vɛ nɛ kpɔ do ŋgɔ loo alo kplɔ esia ɖo kpɔ o.
13 And 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 country, she and her servants.
Le nunana siwo Seba fianyɔnu la tsɔ vɛ na Fia Solomo ta la, Fia Solomo hã na nu sia nu si fianyɔnu la biae hekpe ɖe nunana siwo eya ŋutɔ dzra ɖo be yeanae la ŋuti eye fianyɔnu la kple eƒe subɔlawo trɔ yi wo de.
14 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty six talents of gold,
Sika si Solomo xɔna ƒe sia ƒe la dea tɔn blaeve vɔ atɔ̃
15 Besides [what he had] of the merchants, and of the traffic of the spice-merchants, and of all the kings of Arabia, and of the governors of the country.
hekpe ɖe adzɔ siwo wòxɔna tso adzɔdolawo kple asitsalawo kple Arabia fiawo katã kple mɔmefia siwo le anyigba la dzi ɖum la gbɔ ŋu.
16 And king Solomon made two hundred targets [of] beaten gold: six hundred [shekels] of gold went to one target.
Fia Solomo tsɔ sika wɔ akpoxɔnu gã alafa eve. Wotsɔ sika kilogram etɔ̃ kple afã wɔ wo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe.
17 And [he made] three hundred shields of beaten gold; three pounds of gold went to one shield: and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
Egatsɔ sika wɔ akpoxɔnu ɖagbitɔ alafa etɔ̃. Wotsɔ sika kilogram etɔ̃ kple afã wɔ wo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe. Fia la tsɔ nu siawo da ɖe Lebanon ƒe Avexɔ la me le eƒe fiasã la me.
18 Moreover, the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with the best gold.
Fia la kpa fiazikpui gã aɖe. Etsɔ nyiɖu fa ɖe eme eye wòtsɔ sika nyuitɔ fa ɖe eŋu.
19 The throne had six steps, and the top of the throne [was] round behind: and [there were] stays on either side on the place of the seat, and two lions stood beside the stays.
Atrakpui ade nɔ fiazikpui la ŋu eye wowɔ afi si wodea mee la nogoo. Abɔɖoƒe nɔ zikpuia ƒe axa eveawo dzi eye wowɔ dzata si le tsitre la da ɖe abɔɖoƒe aveawo ƒe axadzi.
20 And twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other upon the six steps: there was not the like made in any kingdom.
Dzata wuieve le atrakpui adeawo ƒe axawo kple eve dzi. Fiazikpui aɖeke meganyo abe esia ene le fiaɖuƒe aɖeke me o.
21 And all king Solomon's drinking 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 nothing accounted of in the days of Solomon.
Wotsɔ sika wɔ kplu siwo katã me Fia Solomo noa nu le eye nenema ke wotsɔ sika nyuitɔ wɔ nuɖugba kple nuɖaze siwo katã nɔ Lebanon ƒe Avexɔ la me. Womewɔ naneke kple klosalo o elabena le Solomo ƒe ɣeyiɣiwo me la, womebua klosalo be enye nu xɔasi o.
22 For the king had at sea a navy of Tharshish with the navy of Hiram: once in three years came the navy of Tharshish, bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
Asitsatɔdziʋu geɖewo nɔ fia la si siwo yia asigbe le atsiaƒu dzi kple Hiram tɔwo. Wotrɔna gbɔna zi ɖeka le ƒe etɔ̃ me kple sika, klosalo, nyiɖu kple kese ƒomevi vovovowo kple xewo.
23 So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth for riches and for wisdom.
Ale Fia Solomo de ŋgɔ wu anyigbadzifiawo katã le kesinɔnuwo kple nunya me.
24 And all the earth sought to Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
Xexea me tɔwo katã vaa Solomo gbɔ hena aɖaŋuxɔxɔ eye be woaɖo to nunya si Mawu tsɔ de eƒe dzi me.
25 And they brought every man his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and armor, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year.
Wo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe tsɔa klosalo, sika, awuwo, aʋawɔnuwo, atike ʋeʋĩwo, sɔwo kple tedzisɔwo va nanɛ ƒe sia ƒe.
26 And Solomon collected chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, whom he bestowed in the cities for chariots, and with the king at Jerusalem.
Tasiaɖam akpe ɖeka alafa ene kple sɔdola akpe wuieve nɔ Solomo si. Wonɔ tasiaɖamduwo me eye ɖewo nɔ fia la gbɔ le Yerusalem.
27 And the king made silver [to be] in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars he made [to be] as the sycamore trees that [are] in the vale, for abundance.
Fia la na klosalo bɔ ɖe Yerusalem abe ale si kpewo nɔa mɔ dzi ene eye wowɔa sedati ŋu dɔ abe ale si wowɔa gboti si bɔ fũu la ŋu dɔ ene.
28 And Solomon had horses brought from Egypt, and linen yarn: the king's merchants received the linen yarn at a price.
Wodɔa Solomo ƒe sɔwo tsoa Egipte kple Kue. Fia la ƒe asitsalawo ƒlea wo tso Kue.
29 And a chariot came up and went out of Egypt for six hundred [shekels] of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty: and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, did they bring [them] out by their means.
Wodɔ tasiaɖam tso Egipte esi ƒe asie nye klosaloga kilogram adre kple sɔ si ƒe asie nye klosaloga kilogram ɖeka kple afã. Woawo hã dzraa wo na dutafiawo, ame siwo nye Hititɔwo kple Aramtɔwo ƒe fiawo.
