Kronika 2 9
1 Esi Seba fianyɔnu se ale si Fia Solomo ƒe ŋkɔ ɖi hoo la, eva Yerusalem be yeadoe akpɔ kple biabia sesẽwo. Ekplɔ eŋume kple subɔla geɖewo ɖe asi eye wòtsɔ atike ʋeʋĩwo, sika kple kpe xɔasiwo ɖe kposɔ geɖewo dzi vɛ fũu eye wòƒo nu kple fia la tso nu siwo katã nɔ eƒe susu me la ŋuti.
And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to prove Solomon with hard questions at Jerusalem, with a very great company, and camels that bore spices, and gold in abundance, and precious stones: and when she had come to Solomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart.
2 Fia Solomo te ŋu ɖo eƒe biabiawo katã ŋu, naneke menɔ ɣaɣla ɖi o. Enya nu sia nu eye wòte ŋu ɖe nu sia nu me nɛ.
And Solomon told her all her questions: and there was nothing hid from Solomon which he told her not.
3 Esi fianyɔnu la kpɔ ale si gbegbe Solomo nya nu, ale si eƒe fiasã la nyoe,
And when the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had built,
4 nuɖuɖu nyui siwo woɖo kplɔ̃ dzi, subɔla geɖewo kple awu nyui siwo wodo, ahakulawo kple numevɔ geɖe siwo wòsana na Yehowa la, eƒe nu ku.
And the provisions of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel; his cup-bearers also, and their apparel; and his ascent by which he went up into the house of the LORD; there was no more spirit in her.
5 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 said to the king, [It was] a true report which I heard in my own land of thy acts, and of thy wisdom:
6 Nyemexɔe se o va se ɖe esime meva ɖo afi sia eye mekpɔe kple nye ŋutɔ nye ŋkuwo. Le nyateƒe me la, womegblɔ ale si wò nunya de ŋgɔe la ƒe afã gɔ̃ hã nam o. Ekɔ gbɔ nutsotso siwo mese la ŋu sasasa.
Yet, I believed not their words, until I came, and my eyes had seen [it]: and behold, the one half of the greatness of thy wisdom was not told to me: [for] thou exceedest the fame that I heard.
7 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!
Happy [are] thy men, and happy [are] these thy servants, who stand continually before thee, and hear thy wisdom.
8 Woakafu Yehowa, wò Mawu la ame si ŋu wò nu nyo eye wòtsɔ wò da ɖe eƒe fiazikpui dzi be nànye fia, anɔ Yehowa, wò Mawu la teƒe le lɔlɔ̃ si wò Mawu tsɔ na Israel kple eƒe didi be yealé wo ɖe asi ɖaa ta la, eɖo wò Fiae ɖe wo nu be nàdrɔ̃ ʋɔnu dzɔdzɔe eye nàhe dzɔdzɔenyenye vɛ.”
Blessed be the LORD thy God, who delighted in thee to set thee on his throne, [to be] king for the LORD thy God: because thy God loved Israel, to establish them for ever, therefore he made thee king over them, to do judgment and justice.
9 Tete 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 gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices great abundance, and precious stones: neither was there any such spice as the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.
10 Fia Hiram kple Solomo ƒe tɔdziʋukulawo tsɔ sika si tso Ofir kple papawuti kple kpe xɔasi geɖewo hã vɛ.
And the servants also of Huram, and the servants of Solomon, who brought gold from Ophir, brought algum trees and precious stones.
11 Fia Solomo tsɔ papawutiwo wɔ atrakpuiwo na gbedoxɔ la kple fiasã la kple kasaŋkuwo kple saŋkuwo na hadzilawo. Womekpɔ haƒonu nyui mawo tɔgbi kpɔ le Yudanyigba blibo la dzi o.
And the king made [of] the algum trees terraces to the house of the LORD, and to the king's palace, and harps and psalteries for singers: and there were none such seen before in the land of Judah.
12 Fia Solomo tsɔ nunana geɖewo na Seba fianyɔnu la eye woƒe home de esi fianyɔnu la nae nu hafi wògatsɔ nu sia nu si fianyɔnu la biae la nɛ. Azɔ la, fianyɔnu la kple eƒe amewo trɔ yi wo de.
And king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she asked, besides [that] which she had brought to the king. So she turned, and went away to her own land, she and her servants.
13 Sika si Solomo xɔna ƒe sia ƒe la dea tɔn blaeve vɔ atɔ̃,
Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty and six talents of gold;
14 ga si asitsalawo tsɔna vɛ nɛ la mele eme o. Hekpe ɖe esia ŋu la, Arabia fiawo katã kple anyigba la dzi mɔmefiawo tsɔa sika kple klosalo vɛ na Solomo.
Besides [that which] chapmen and merchants brought. And all the kings of Arabia and governors of the country brought gold and silver to Solomon.
15 Fia Solomo tsɔ sika wɔ akpoxɔnu gã alafa eve. Wotsɔ sika kilogram etɔ̃ kple afã wɔ wo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe.
And king Solomon made two hundred targets [of] beaten gold: six hundred [shekels] of beaten gold went to one target.
16 Egatsɔ sika wɔ akpoxɔnu ɖagbitɔ alafa etɔ̃, ɖe sia ɖe ƒe kpekpeme nye kilo eve. Fia la tsɔ nu siawo da ɖe Lebanon ƒe Avexɔ me le eƒe fiasã la me.
And three hundred shields [made he of] beaten gold: three hundred [shekels] of gold went to one shield. And the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
17 Fia la kpa fiazikpui gã aɖe. Etsɔ nyiɖu fa ɖe eme eye wòtsɔ sika nyuitɔ fa ɖe eŋu.
Moreover, the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold.
18 Etsɔ sika wɔ atrakpui ade kple afɔɖodzinu ɖeka kple abɔɖoƒewo ɖe fiazikpui la ŋu. Abɔɖoƒe nɔ zikpuia ƒe axa eveawo dzi eye wowɔ dzata si le tsitre la da ɖe abɔɖoƒe aveawo ƒe axadzi.
And [there were] six steps to the throne, with a footstool of gold, [which were] fastened to the throne, and stays on each side of the sitting-place, and two lions standing by the stays:
19 Dzata wuieve le atrakpuifɔflɔ adeawo ƒe axawo kple eve dzi. Fiazikpui aɖeke meganyo abe esia ene le fiaɖuƒe aɖeke me o.
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.
20 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 anyinɔɣi la, womebua klosalo be enye nu xɔasi o.
And all the drinking vessels of king Solomon [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 [not] any thing accounted of in the days of Solomon.
21 Asitsatɔdziʋu geɖewo nɔ fia la si siwo yia asigbe le atsiaƒu dzi kple Hiram ƒe dɔlawo tɔwo. Wotrɔna gbɔna zi ɖeka le ƒe etɔ̃ me kple sika, klosalo, nyiɖu kple kese ƒomevi vovovowo kple xewo.
For the king's ships went to Tarshish with the servants of Huram: once every three years came the ships of Tarshish bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
22 Ale Fia Solomo de ŋgɔ wu anyigbadzifiawo katã le kesinɔnuwo kple nunya me.
And king Solomon surpassed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.
23 Fiawo tsoa dukɔ ɖe sia ɖe me vana Solomo gbɔ hena aɖaŋuxɔxɔ eye be woaɖo to nunya si Mawu tsɔ de eƒe dzi me.
And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, that God had put in his heart.
24 Wo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe tsɔa klosalo, sika kple awuwo, aʋawɔnuwo, atike ʋeʋĩwo, sɔwo kple tedzisɔwo vana nɛ ƒe sia ƒe.
And they brought every man his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and raiment, harness, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year.
25 Hekpe ɖe esiawo ŋu la, sɔ akpe ene, siwo wowɔ nɔƒe na, kple tasiaɖamwo kpakple sɔdola akpe wuieve nɔ Solomon si le tasiaɖamduwo me kple Yerusalem hena fia la ŋu dzɔdzɔ.
And Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen; whom he bestowed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
26 Solomo ɖu fia ɖe fia kple fiaɖuƒe ɖe sia ɖe dzi tso Frat tɔsisi la to yi Filistitɔwo ƒe anyigba dzi heyi keke Egipte ƒe liƒo dzi.
And he reigned over all the kings from the river even to the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt.
27 Ena 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 made silver in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar trees he made as the sycamore trees that [are] in the low plains in abundance.
28 Wotsɔa sɔwo tso Egipte kple dukɔ bubuwo me vɛ nɛ.
And they brought to Solomon horses from Egypt, and from all lands.
29 Woŋlɔ nu bubu siwo Fia Solomo wɔ la ɖe Nyagblɔɖila Natan ƒe ŋutinyawo kple Nyagblɔɖila Ahiya, Silotɔ la ƒe nyagblɔɖiwo kple nukpɔla, ldo ƒe nu siwo wòkpɔ tso Yeroboam, Nebat ƒe vi ŋu la me.
Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last, [are] they not written in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Iddo the seer against Jeroboam the son of Nebat?
30 Ale Fia Solomo ɖu fia le Yerusalem ɖe Israel dukɔ blibo la dzi ƒe blaene.
And Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years.
31 Esi wòku la, woɖii ɖe fofoa, David ƒe du la me eye via Rehoboam ɖu fia ɖe eteƒe.
And Solomon slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead.
