2 Chronicles 9
1 And the queen of Sheba hath heard of the fame of Solomon, and cometh in to try Solomon with acute sayings, to Jerusalem, with a very great company, and camels bearing spices and gold in abundance, and precious stone; and she cometh in unto Solomon, and speaketh with him all that hath been with her heart,
Ɛberɛ a Seba Ɔhemmaa tee Salomo nka no, ɔbaa Yerusalem sɛ ɔde nsɛm a anoyie yɛ den rebɛsɔ no ahwɛ. Ɔne nʼasomfoɔ bebree, nyoma pii a wɔahyehyɛ nnuhwam, sikakɔkɔɔ bebree ne aboɔdemmoɔ wɔ wɔn so na ɛbaeɛ.
2 and Solomon declareth to her all her matters, and there hath not been hid a thing from Solomon that he hath not declared to her.
Ɔhyiaa Salomo no, wɔdii biribiara a enti ɔbaa saa nsrahwɛ no ho nkɔmmɔ, maa Salomo yii ne nsɛmmisa biara ano sɛdeɛ ɛsɛ.
3 And the queen of Sheba seeth the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he hath built,
Seba Ɔhemmaa hunuu nyansa a Salomo wɔ ne ahemfie a wasi no,
4 and the food of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the standing of his ministers, and their clothing, and his stewards, and their clothing, an his burnt-offering that he offered up in the house of Jehovah, and there hath not been any more spirit in her.
ne ho dwirii no. Ɔhunuu nnuane a ɛsisi ne didipono so no, sɛdeɛ watoto nʼadwumayɛfoɔ ne ntadeɛ fɛfɛ a wɔhyehyɛ, kuruwakurafoɔ ne wɔn ntadeɛ yuu ne ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ a Salomo abɔ wɔ Awurade Asɔredan mu no, ɛyɛɛ no nwanwa.
5 And she saith unto the king, 'True [is] the word that I heard in my land concerning thy matters and concerning thy wisdom,
Ɔfiri ahodwirie mu ka kyerɛɛ ɔhene no sɛ, “Biribiara a metee wɔ me kurom a ɛfa deɛ woatumi ayɛ ne wo nyansa ho no yɛ nokorɛ.
6 and I have given no credence to their words, till that I have come, and mine eyes see, and lo, there hath not been declared to me the half of the abundance of thy wisdom — thou hast added unto the report that I heard.
Mannye anni kɔsii sɛ mʼankasa mebaa ha, de mʼani kann bɛhunuiɛ. Nokorɛm, mante emu fa mpo. Wo nyansa no boro deɛ wɔka kyerɛɛ me no so koraa.
7 'O the happiness of thy men, and the happiness of thy servants — these — who are standing before thee continually, and hearing thy wisdom.
Anigyeɛ bɛn na saa nnipa yi renya? Adom bɛn na wo mpanimfoɔ a wɔne wowɔ ha anɔpa ne awia tie wo renya mfiri wo nyansa yi mu?
8 Let Jehovah thy God be blessed who hath delighted in thee, to put thee on His throne for king for Jehovah thy God; in the love of thy God to Israel, to establish it to the age, He hath put thee over them for king, to do judgment and righteousness.'
Awurade, wo Onyankopɔn yɛ kɛse ampa. Nʼani gye wo ho, enti ɔde wo asi ahennwa so sɛ di ɔhene ma no. Ɛfiri sɛ, Onyankopɔn pɛ Israel asɛm dodo, na ɔpɛ sɛ saa ahennie yi tena afebɔɔ; wasi wo ɔhene sɛdeɛ wode nokorɛ ne atɛntenenee bɛbu ɔman no.”
9 And she giveth to the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices in great abundance, and precious stone; and there hath not been any such spice as the queen of Sheba hath given to king Solomon.
Afei, ɔmaa ɔhene no sikakɔkɔɔ akyɛdeɛ a ɛkari tɔno 4 ne nnuhwam pii ne aboɔdemmoɔ. Seba Ɔhemmaa nnuhwam a ɔde maa Salomo no so bi mmaa da.
10 And also, servants of Huram, and servants of Solomon, who brought in gold from Ophir, have brought in algum-trees and precious stone.
Ɛberɛ a Huram hyɛnmufoɔ ne Salomo nkurɔfoɔ de sikakɔkɔɔ firi Ofir baeɛ no, wɔde abako nnua pa bebree ne aboɔdemmoɔ kaa ho baeɛ.
11 And the king maketh the algum-trees staircases for the house of Jehovah, and for the house of the king, and harps and psalteries for singers; and there have been none seen like these before in the land of Judah.
Ɔhene no de abako nnua no yɛɛ Awurade Asɔredan ne ahemfie no ntrapoe. Ɔde bi nso yɛɛ nsankuten ne mmɛnta maa nnwom ho nimdefoɔ no. Na saa nnwontodeɛ no so bi mmaa da wɔ Yuda.
12 And king Solomon hath given to the queen of Sheba all her desire that she asked, apart from that which she had brought unto the king, and she turneth and goeth to her land, she and her servants.
Biribiara a Seba Ɔhemmaa bisaa ɔhene Salomo no, ɔde maa no. Na ɛyɛ akyɛdeɛ a ɛsom bo pa ara, na ɛboro deɛ ɔhemmaa de brɛɛ noɔ no so. Afei, ɔhemmaa no ne nʼasomfoɔ no sane kɔɔ wɔn ankasa asase so.
13 And the weight of the gold that is coming to Solomon in one year is six hundred and sixty and six talents of gold,
Afe biara, na Salomo nya sikakɔkɔɔ bɛyɛ tɔno aduonu enum.
14 apart from [what] the tourists, and the merchants, are bringing in; and all the kings of Arabia, and the governors of the land, are bringing in gold and silver to Solomon.
Na sika a ɔnya firi adwadifoɔ nkyɛn no nka yei ho. Na Arabia ahemfo nyinaa ne amradofoɔ a wɔwɔ asase no so nyinaa brɛ Salomo sikakɔkɔɔ ne dwetɛ.
15 And king Solomon maketh two hundred targets of alloyed gold, six hundred [shekels] of alloyed gold he causeth to go up on the one target;
Ɔhene Salomo de sikakɔkɔɔ yɛɛ akokyɛm akɛseɛ ahanu a wɔde hamre boroeɛ, na sikakɔkɔɔ a wɔde yɛɛ emu biara no mu duru boro kilogram nson.
16 and three hundred shields of alloyed gold, three hundred [shekels] of gold he causeth to go up on the one shield, and the king putteth them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
Ɔsane yɛɛ sikakɔkɔɔ akokyɛm nketewa ahasa a wɔde hamre boroeɛ a na sikakɔkɔɔ a wɔde yɛɛ emu biara no mu duru bɛyɛ kilogram mmiɛnsa ne fa. Ɔhene no kɔkoraa saa akokyɛm yi wɔ Lebanon Kwaeɛ Ahemfie mu.
17 And the king maketh a great throne of ivory, and overlayeth it with pure gold;
Afei, ɔhene no de asonse yɛɛ ahennwa kɛseɛ bi, na ɔde sikakɔkɔɔ amapa huraa ho.
18 and six steps [are] to the throne, and a footstool of gold, to the throne they are fastened, and hands [are] on this [side] and on that on the place of the sitting, and two lions are standing near the hands,
Na ahennwa no wɔ ntrapoe nsia a wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ nantiasoɔ afam ho. Ahennwa no wɔ nsa wɔ benkum. Ne nifa na gyata sɛso nso gyinagyina afa ne fa wɔ ahennwa no ho.
19 and twelve lions are standing there on the six steps on this [side], and on that: it hath not been made so for any kingdom.
Salomo sane yɛɛ agyata sɛso dumienu a ɔbaako biara gyina atwedeɛ ntiasoɔ nsia no mu biara benkum ne nifa. Ahennwa biara nni ewiase a wɔbɛtumi de atoto Salomo deɛ no ho.
20 And all the drinking vessels of king Solomon [are] of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon [are] of refined gold — silver is not reckoned in the days of Solomon for anything;
Ɔhene Salomo nkuruwa nyinaa, sikakɔkɔɔ amapa na wɔde yɛeɛ. Saa ara na nneɛma ahodoɔ a ɛwɔ Lebanon Kwaeɛ Ahemfie mu no nso teɛ. Wɔamfa dwetɛ anyɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, Salomo berɛ so no, na wɔbu dwetɛ ade teta bi.
21 for ships of the king are going to Tarshish, with servants of Huram: once in three years come do the ships of Tarshish bearing gold, and silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks.
Na ɔhene no wɔ adwadie ahyɛn a emu adwumayɛfoɔ yɛ Huram asomfoɔ. Mfeɛ mmiɛnsa biara, ahyɛn no ba a, wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ, dwetɛ, asonse, nkaatia, nkontromfi ne kohaa brɛ ɔhene no.
22 And king Solomon becometh greater than any of the kings of the earth for riches and wisdom;
Enti, ɔhene Salomo bɛyɛɛ ɔdefoɔ ne onyansafoɔ sene ɔhene biara wɔ asase so nyinaa.
23 and all the kings of the earth are seeking the presence of Solomon to hear his wisdom that God hath put in his heart,
Ahemfo fifiri aman nyinaa so bɛsraa no, tiee ne nyansasɛm a Onyankopɔn de adom no no bi.
24 and they are bringing in each his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, harness, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year.
Afe biara, obiara a ɔbɛba abɛsra no no, ɔbrɛ no akyɛdeɛ te sɛ dwetɛ, sikakɔkɔɔ, ntadeɛ, akodeɛ, nnuhwam, apɔnkɔ ne mfunumpɔnkɔ.
25 And there are to Solomon four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, and he placed them in cities of the chariot, and with the king in Jerusalem.
Na Salomo wɔ mpɔnkɔdan mpemnan a ne nteaseɛnam apɔnkɔ da mu ne mpɔnkɔ mpem dumienu. Ɔde mu fa kɛseɛ no kɔɔ nkuro a ne nteaseɛnam wɔ mu mu, ɛnna ɔmaa ebi nso bɛnee no wɔ Yerusalem.
26 And he is ruling over all the kings from the River even unto the land of the Philistines, and unto the border of Egypt.
Ɔdii ɔhene, bunkam faa ahemfo nyinaa so, firi Asubɔnten Eufrate ano de kɔsi Filistifoɔ asase ne Misraim hyeɛ so.
27 And the king maketh the silver in Jerusalem as stones, and the cedars he hath made as sycamores, that [are] in the low country, for abundance,
Ɔhene no maa dwetɛ buu te sɛ aboɔ wɔ Yerusalem. Na ntweneduro nnua a ɛsom bo no nso buu so sɛ akyee nnua a ɛfifiri wɔ mmepɔ ase wɔ Yuda asase so.
28 and they are bringing out horses from Egypt to Solomon, and from all the lands.
Na wɔtɔ Salomo apɔnkɔ firi Misraim ne aman ahodoɔ bebree so.
29 And the rest of the matters of Solomon, the first and the last, are they not written beside the matters of Nathan the prophet, and beside the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and with the visions of Iddo the seer concerning Jeroboam son of Nebat?
Salomo ahennie ho nsɛm nkaeɛ, firi ahyɛaseɛ kɔsi awieeɛ no, wɔatwerɛ agu odiyifoɔ Natan nwoma, Ahiya a ɔfiri Silo adiyisɛm ne nhunumuni Ido anisoadehunu a ɛfa Nebat babarima Yeroboam ho no mu.
30 And Solomon reigneth in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years,
Salomo tenaa Yerusalem dii Israel nyinaa so ɔhene mfeɛ aduanan.
31 and Solomon lieth with his fathers, and they bury him in the city of David his father, and reign doth Rehoboam his son in his stead.
Ɔwuiɛ no, wɔsiee no nʼagya Dawid kurom. Ne babarima Rehoboam na ɔdii nʼadeɛ sɛ ɔhene.
