Fiawo 1 10
1 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.
And the queen of Sheba is hearing of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of Jehovah, and cometh to try him with enigmas,
2 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.
and she cometh to Jerusalem, with a very great company, camels bearing spices, and very much gold, and precious stone, and she cometh unto Solomon, and speaketh unto him all that hath been with her heart.
3 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.
And Solomon declareth to her all her matters — there hath not been a thing hid from the king that he hath not declared to her.
4 Esi fianyɔnu la kpɔ ale si gbegbe Solomo nya nu, ale si eƒe fiasã la nyoe,
And the queen of Sheba seeth all the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he built,
5 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.
and the food of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the standing of his ministers, and their clothing, and his butlers, and his burnt-offering that he causeth to ascend in the house of Jehovah, and there hath not been in her any more spirit.
6 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.
And she saith unto the king, 'True hath been the word that I heard in my land, concerning thy matters and thy wisdom;
7 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!
and I gave no credence to the words till that I have come, and my eyes see, and lo, it was not declared to me — the half; thou hast added wisdom and goodness unto the report that I heard.
8 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!
O the happiness of thy men, O the happiness of thy servants — these — who are standing before thee continually, who are hearing thy wisdom!
9 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!”
Jehovah thy God is blessed who delighted in thee, to put thee on the throne of Israel; in Jehovah's loving Israel to the age He doth set thee for king, to do judgment and righteousness.
10 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.
And she giveth to the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices very many, and precious stone; there came not like that spice any more for abundance that the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.
11 Esi Fia Hiram ƒe tɔdziʋuwo tsɔ sika tso Ofir vɛ na Fia Solomo la, wotsɔ papawuti kple kpe xɔasi geɖewo hã vɛ nɛ.
And also, the navy of Hiram that bore gold from Ophir, brought in from Ophir almug-trees very many, and precious stone;
12 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.
and the king maketh the almug-trees a support for the house of Jehovah, and for the house of the king, and harps and psalteries for singers; there have not come such almug-trees, nor have there been seen [such] unto this day.
13 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.
And king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire that she asked, apart from that which he gave to her as a memorial of king Solomon, and she turneth and goeth to her land, she and her servants.
14 Sika si Solomo xɔna ƒe sia ƒe la dea tɔn blaeve vɔ atɔ̃
And the weight of the gold that hath come to Solomon in one year is six hundred sixty and six talents of gold,
15 hekpe ɖe adzɔ siwo wòxɔna tso adzɔdolawo kple asitsalawo kple Arabia fiawo katã kple mɔmefia siwo le anyigba la dzi ɖum la gbɔ ŋu.
apart from [that of] the tourists, and of the traffic of the merchants, and of all the kings of Arabia, and of the governors of the land.
16 Fia Solomo tsɔ sika wɔ akpoxɔnu gã alafa eve. Wotsɔ sika kilogram etɔ̃ kple afã wɔ wo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe.
And king Solomon maketh two hundred targets of alloyed gold — six hundred of gold go up on the one target;
17 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.
and three hundred shields of alloyed gold — three pounds of gold go up on the one shield; and the king putteth them [in] the house of the forest of Lebanon.
18 Fia la kpa fiazikpui gã aɖe. Etsɔ nyiɖu fa ɖe eme eye wòtsɔ sika nyuitɔ fa ɖe eŋu.
And the king maketh a great throne of ivory, and overlayeth it with refined gold;
19 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.
six steps hath the throne, and a round top [is] to the throne behind it, and hands [are] on this [side] and on that, unto the place of the sitting, and two lions are standing near the hands,
20 Dzata wuieve le atrakpui adeawo ƒe axawo kple eve dzi. Fiazikpui aɖeke meganyo abe esia ene le fiaɖuƒe aɖeke me o.
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.
21 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.
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 — there are none of silver; it was not reckoned in the days of Solomon for anything,
22 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.
for a navy of Tarshish hath the king at sea with a navy of Hiram; once in three years cometh the navy of Tarshish, bearing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
23 Ale Fia Solomo de ŋgɔ wu anyigbadzifiawo katã le kesinɔnuwo kple nunya me.
And king Solomon is greater than any of the kings of the earth for riches and for wisdom,
24 Xexea me tɔwo katã vaa Solomo gbɔ hena aɖaŋuxɔxɔ eye be woaɖo to nunya si Mawu tsɔ de eƒe dzi me.
and all the earth is seeking the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom that God hath put into his heart,
25 Wo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe tsɔa klosalo, sika, awuwo, aʋawɔnuwo, atike ʋeʋĩwo, sɔwo kple tedzisɔwo va nanɛ ƒe sia ƒe.
and they are bringing each his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and armour, and spices, horses, and mules, the matter of a year in a year.
26 Tasiaɖam akpe ɖeka alafa ene kple sɔdola akpe wuieve nɔ Solomo si. Wonɔ tasiaɖamduwo me eye ɖewo nɔ fia la gbɔ le Yerusalem.
And Solomon gathereth chariots, and horsemen, and he hath a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, and he placeth them in the cities of the chariot, and with the king in Jerusalem.
27 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.
And the king maketh the silver in Jerusalem as stones, and the cedars he hath made as the sycamores that [are] in the low country, for abundance.
28 Wodɔa Solomo ƒe sɔwo tsoa Egipte kple Kue. Fia la ƒe asitsalawo ƒlea wo tso Kue.
And the outgoing of the horses that king Solomon hath [is] from Egypt, and from Keveh; merchants of the king take from Keveh at a price;
29 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.
and a chariot cometh up and cometh out of Egypt for six hundred silverlings, and a horse for fifty and a hundred, and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Aram; by their hand they bring out.
