1 Kings 10
1 When the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the LORD’s name, she came to test him with hard questions.
Awo kabaka omukazi ow’e Seeba bwe yawulira ettutumo lya Sulemaani n’okwagala kwe yalina eri Mukama, n’ajja amugezese n’ebibuuzo ebizibu.
2 She came to Jerusalem with a very great caravan, with camels that bore spices, very much gold, and precious stones; and when she had come to Solomon, she talked with him about all that was in her heart.
Yatuuka mu Yerusaalemi, n’ekibiina ky’abantu ekinene ennyo, n’eŋŋamira ezaali zeetisse ebyakaloosa, ne zaabu ennyingi ennyo, n’amayinja ag’omuwendo. Yanyumya ne Sulemaani ku ebyo byonna ebyali ku mutima gwe.
3 Solomon answered all her questions. There wasn’t anything hidden from the king which he didn’t tell her.
Awo Sulemaani n’addamu ebibuuzo byonna, era tewaali na kimu ku byo ekyamuzibuwalira.
4 When the queen of Sheba had seen all the wisdom of Solomon, the house that he had built,
Kabaka omukazi ow’e Seeba bwe yalaba amagezi ga Sulemaani ago gonna, n’olubiri lwe yazimba,
5 the food of his table, the sitting of his servants, the attendance of his officials, their clothing, his cup bearers, and his ascent by which he went up to the LORD’s house, there was no more spirit in her.
n’emmere eyagabulwanga ku mmeeza ye, n’engeri abakungu be gye baatuuzibwangamu, n’ennyambala y’abaddu be, n’abasenero be, n’ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa bye yawangayo mu yeekaalu ya Mukama, ne yeewunya nnyo.
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.
N’amugamba nti, “Bye nawulira nga ndi mu nsi yange, ku ebyo by’okoze n’amagezi go, bya mazima.
7 However, I didn’t believe the words until I came and my eyes had seen it. Behold, not even half was told me! Your wisdom and prosperity exceed the fame which I heard.
Ssakkiriza bigambo ebyo okutuusa lwe neesitukira ne nzija neerabireko n’agange. Kya mazima ddala nabulirwako kitundu butundu kyokka; kubanga amagezi go, n’obugagga bwo bisinga ku ebyo bye nawulira.
8 Happy are your men, happy are these your servants who stand continually before you, who hear your wisdom.
Abasajja bo nga beesiimye! N’abakungu abayimirira mu maaso go ne bawulira ebigambo eby’amagezi nga beesiimye!
9 Blessed is the LORD your God, who delighted in you, to set you on the throne of Israel. Because the LORD loved Israel forever, therefore he made you king, to do justice and righteousness.”
Yeebazibwe Mukama Katonda wo akusanyukira era akutadde ku ntebe ey’obwakabaka bwa Isirayiri. Olw’okwagala kwa Mukama okutaggwaawo, akufudde kabaka, okukuuma obwenkanya n’obutuukirivu.”
10 She gave the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold, and a very great quantity of spices, and precious stones. Never again was there such an abundance of spices as these which the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.
N’agabira kabaka ttani nnya eza zaabu, n’ebyakaloosa bingi nnyo nnyini, n’amayinja ag’omuwendo. Tewaaleetebwa nate byakaloosa byenkana awo obungi ng’ebyo kabaka omukazi ow’e Seeba bye yawa Sulemaani.
11 The fleet of Hiram that brought gold from Ophir also brought in from Ophir great quantities of almug trees and precious stones.
(Emmeeri za Kiramu zaaleetanga zaabu okuva e Ofiri, n’emitoogo mingi, era n’amayinja ag’omuwendo.
12 The king made of the almug trees pillars for the LORD’s house and for the king’s house, harps also and stringed instruments for the singers; no such almug trees came or were seen to this day.
Kabaka yakozesa emitoogo okukola empagi za yeekaalu ya Mukama Katonda n’ez’olubiri lw’obwakabaka, n’okukola ennanga, n’entongooli z’abayimbi. Tewalabikanga mitoogo mingi bwe gityo n’okutuusa ku lunaku lwa leero.)
13 King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she asked, in addition to that which Solomon gave her of his royal bounty. So she turned and went to her own land, she and her servants.
Awo kabaka Sulemaani n’awa kabaka omukazi ow’e Seeba byonna bye yayagala ne bye yasaba, obutassaako ebyo Sulemaani bye yamuwa okuva ku byobugagga bw’obwakabaka bwe. Oluvannyuma kabaka omukazi ow’e Seeba n’addayo mu nsi ye n’ekibiina ky’abantu be, be yajja nabo.
14 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold,
Obuzito obwa zaabu obwaleetebwanga eri Sulemaani buli mwaka bwali ttani amakumi abiri mu ssatu,
15 in addition to that which the traders brought, and the traffic of the merchants, and of all the kings of the mixed people, and of the governors of the country.
nga tobaliddeeko musolo ogwawebwangayo abasuubuzi n’ab’ebyamaguzi, ate era n’ogwasoloozebwanga okuva ku bakabaka Abawalabu bonna ne bagavana.
16 King Solomon made two hundred bucklers of beaten gold; six hundred shekels of gold went to one buckler.
Kabaka Sulemaani yaweesa engabo ennene ebikumi bibiri mu zaabu, buli ngabo ng’erimu kilo ssatu n’ekitundu eza zaabu.
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.
Yakola n’engabo entono ebikumi bisatu, nga nazo za zaabu, buli ngabo nga ya kilo emu n’ekitundu eza zaabu. Ezo zonna kabaka yaziterekanga mu lubiri olwazimbibwa mu miti egyava mu kibira kya Lebanooni.
18 Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with the finest gold.
Awo kabaka n’akola entebe ey’obwakabaka ennene ddala nga ya masanga n’agibikkako zaabu ennongoose.
19 There were six steps to the throne, and the top of the throne was round behind; and there were armrests on either side by the place of the seat, and two lions standing beside the armrests.
Entebe ey’obwakabaka yalina amadaala mukaaga, waggulu waayo aweesigamwa nga weekulungirivu. Eruuyi n’eruuyi w’entebe waaliyo empologoma nga ziyimiridde ku mabbali g’emikono.
20 Twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other on the six steps. Nothing like it was made in any kingdom.
Empologoma kkumi na bbiri zaali ku madaala mukaaga, eruuyi mukaaga n’eruuyi mukaaga. Tewaali ntebe ndala yonna ey’obwakabaka eyali ekoleddwa eri ng’eyo mu bwakabaka obulala bwonna mu biseera ebyo.
21 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, because it was considered of little value in the days of Solomon.
Ebikompe byonna ebya kabaka Sulemaani byali bya zaabu, ne byonna ebyali mu lubiri lwe olwakolebwa mu kibira kya Lebanooni. Tewali kyakolebwa mu ffeeza, kubanga ffeeza teyali ya muwendo nnyo mu biro ebyo.
22 For the king had a fleet of ships of Tarshish at sea with Hiram’s fleet. Once every three years the fleet of Tarshish came bringing gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks.
Kabaka yalina ebyombo ebya maguzi ku nnyanja ebyakozesebwanga awamu n’ebya Kiramu, ebyaleetanga zaabu, ne ffeeza, n’amasanga, n’enkobe n’enkima eza buli ngeri omulundi gumu mu buli myaka esatu.
23 So King Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth in riches and in wisdom.
Kabaka Sulemaani yalina obugagga bungi nnyo nnyini, n’amagezi mangi nnyo okusinga bakabaka abalala bonna ku nsi.
24 All the earth sought the presence of Solomon to hear his wisdom which God had put in his heart.
Ensi yonna yanoonyanga era yeesunganga okulaba ku Sulemaani n’okuwuliriza amagezi, Katonda ge yamuwa.
25 Year after year, every man brought his tribute, vessels of silver, vessels of gold, clothing, armour, spices, horses, and mules.
Buli mwaka, buli omu eyajjanga okumukyalira, yamuleeteranga ekirabo, oluusi yabeeranga zaabu ne ffeeza, oluusi ngoye, oluusi byakulwanyisa, oluusi byakaloosa, oluusi mbalaasi n’ennyumbu.
26 Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen. He had one thousand and four hundred chariots and twelve thousand horsemen. He kept them in the chariot cities and with the king at Jerusalem.
Sulemaani yakuŋŋaanya embalaasi n’amagaali, era yalina amagaali lukumi mu bina, n’abeebagazi b’embalaasi omutwalo gumu mu enkumi bbiri, be yakuumiranga mu bibuga omwakuumirwanga amagaali, ne mu Yerusaalemi okumpi naye.
27 The king made silver as common as stones in Jerusalem, and cedars as common as the sycamore trees that are in the lowland.
Kabaka n’afuula ffeeza okuba ng’amayinja aga bulijjo mu Yerusaalemi, n’emivule n’agifuula okuba ng’emisukamooli egiri mu biwonvu olw’obungi bwagyo.
28 The horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt. The king’s merchants received them in droves, each drove at a price.
Embalaasi za Sulemaani zaagulibwanga mu Misiri.
29 A chariot was imported from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for one hundred and fifty shekels; and so they exported them to all the kings of the Hittites and to the kings of Syria.
Eggaali zaagulibwanga kilo musanvu eza ffeeza, na buli mbalaasi ng’egulibwa kilo emu n’ekitundu eza ffeeza mu Misiri. Ate era baazitunzanga ne bakabaka ab’Abakiiti ne bakabaka ab’e Busuuli.
