< 1 Athamaki 10 >

1 Rĩrĩa Mũthamaki mũndũ-wa-nja wa Sheba aiguire ngumo ya Solomoni na ũhoro wa ngwatanĩro yake na rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova-rĩ, agĩũka kũmũgeria na ũndũ wa kũmũũria ciũria nditũ.
And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of YHWH, she came to prove him with hard questions.
2 Agĩkinya Jerusalemu arũmĩrĩirwo nĩ andũ aingĩ mũno, na ngamĩĩra ikuuĩte mahuti marĩa manungi wega, na thahabu nyingĩ mũno, na tũhiga twa goro, agĩthiĩ harĩ Solomoni, akĩaria nake maũndũ mothe marĩa maarĩ meciiria-inĩ make.
And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels that bare spices, and very much gold, and precious stones: and when she was come to Solomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart.
3 Nake Solomoni agĩcookia ciũria ciake ciothe; gũtirĩ ũndũ o na ũmwe mũthamaki aaremirwo nĩkũmũtaarĩria.
And Solomon told her all her questions: there was not any thing hid from the king, which he told her not.
4 Rĩrĩa mũthamaki-mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio wa Sheba onire ũũgĩ wothe wa Solomoni o na nyũmba ya ũthamaki ĩrĩa aakĩte,
And when the queen of Sheba had seen all Solomon's wisdom, and the house that he had built,
5 na irio iria ciarĩ metha-inĩ yake, na ũrĩa anene ake maikaraga metha-inĩ, na ũrĩa ndungata iria ciatungataga ciehumbĩte, na arĩa maamũheaga gĩa kũnyua, o na magongona ma njino marĩa aarutagĩra hekarũ-inĩ ya Jehova, agĩkĩgega mũno.
And the meat of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel, and his cupbearers, and his ascent by which he went up unto the house of YHWH; there was no more spirit in her.
6 Akĩĩra Mũthamaki Solomoni atĩrĩ, “Ũhoro ũrĩa ndaiguire ndĩ bũrũri wakwa ũkoniĩ maũndũ marĩa wĩkĩte, o na ũũgĩ waku, nĩ ũhoro wa ma kũna.
And she said to the king, It was a true report that I heard in mine own land of thy acts and of thy wisdom.
7 No ndietĩkirie maũndũ macio nginya rĩrĩa ndĩrokire gũkũ, na ndĩreyonera na maitho makwa niĩ mwene. Ti-itherũ, o na ndierĩtwo nuthu ya maũndũ macio. Ũhoro wa ũũgĩ waku o na ũtonga waku, nĩikĩrĩte mũno makĩria ũrĩa wothe ndaiguĩte.
Howbeit I believed not the words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it: and, behold, the half was not told me: thy wisdom and prosperity exceedeth the fame which I heard.
8 Kaĩ gũkena nĩ andũ aku-ĩ! Ningĩ gũkena nĩ anene aku arĩa marũgamaga mbere yaku hĩndĩ ciothe makaiguaga ũũgĩ waku!
Happy are thy men, happy are these thy servants, which stand continually before thee, and that hear thy wisdom.
9 Jehova Ngai waku arogoocwo, ũrĩa ũkenetio nĩwe, agagũikarĩria gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene gĩa Isiraeli. Tondũ wa wendo wa Jehova wa tene na tene kũrĩ Isiraeli, nĩagũtuĩte mũthamaki, nĩgeetha ũtũũrie kĩhooto na ũthingu.”
Blessed be YHWH thy Elohim, which delighted in thee, to set thee on the throne of Israel: because YHWH loved Israel for ever, therefore made he thee king, to do judgment and justice.
10 Agĩkĩhe mũthamaki taranda igana rĩa mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ, cia thahabu, na mahuti marĩa manungi wega maingĩ mũno, na tũhiga twa goro. Gũtirĩ hĩndĩ ĩngĩ kũrĩ kwarehwo mahuti manungi wega ta marĩa Mũthamaki mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio wa Sheba aaheire Mũthamaki Solomoni.
And she gave the king an hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices very great store, and precious stones: there came no more such abundance of spices as these which the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.
11 (Marikabu cia Hiramu nĩ ciarehire thahabu kuuma Ofiri, o na ikĩrehe mĩrigo mĩnene ya mĩthandari na tũhiga twa goro kuuma kuo.
And the navy also of Hiram, that brought gold from Ophir, brought in from Ophir great plenty of almug trees, and precious stones.
12 Mũthamaki aahũthĩrire mĩthandari ĩyo gwaka itugĩ cia gũtiirĩrĩra hekarũ ya Jehova na cia nyũmba ya ũthamaki, na gũthondekera aini inanda cia mũgeeto o na cia kĩnũbi. Kuuma mũthenya ũcio gũtirĩ kwarehwo kuuma na nja kana gũkooneka mĩthandari mĩingĩ ũguo.)
And the king made of the almug trees pillars for the house of YHWH, and for the king's house, harps also and psalteries for singers: there came no such almug trees, nor were seen unto this day.
13 Mũthamaki Solomoni nĩaheire mũthamaki ũcio mũndũ-wa-nja wa Sheba indo nyingĩ cia ũtaana wake na kĩrĩa kĩngĩ gĩothe eerirĩirie na aahooire. Thuutha ũcio Mũthamaki mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio akiumagara hamwe na ndungata ciake agĩcooka bũrũri wake mwene.
And king Solomon gave unto the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatsoever she asked, beside that which Solomon gave her of his royal bounty. So she turned and went to her own country, she and her servants.
14 Ũritũ wa thahabu ĩrĩa Solomoni aamũkagĩra o mwaka warĩ wa taranda magana matandatũ ma mĩrongo ĩtandatũ,
Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred threescore and six talents of gold.
15 ĩtataranĩirio na igooti rĩa athũgũri na onjorithia na ya kuuma kũrĩ athamaki a Arabia, othe, na abarũthi a bũrũri.
Beside that he had of the merchantmen, and of the traffick of the spice merchants, and of all the kings of Arabia, and of the governors of the country.
16 Mũthamaki Solomoni agĩthondeka ngo nene magana meerĩ cia thahabu hũũre; o ĩmwe yathondeketwo na ũritũ wa beka magana matandatũ cia thahabu.
And king Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold: six hundred shekels of gold went to one target.
17 Ningĩ agĩthondeka ngo nini magana matatũ cia thahabu hũũre; o ĩmwe yathondeketwo na ũritũ wa mina ithatũ cia thahabu. Mũthamaki agĩciiga Nyũmba ya Ũthamaki ĩrĩa yetagwo Mũtitũ wa Lebanoni.
And he made three hundred shields of beaten gold; three pound of gold went to one shield: and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
18 Ningĩ mũthamaki agĩthondeka gĩtĩ gĩa ũthamaki kĩnene mũno, kĩgemetio mwena wa na thĩinĩ na mĩguongo na mwena wa na nja gĩkagemio na thahabu therie.
Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with the best gold.
19 Gĩtĩ kĩu kĩa ũnene kĩarĩ na ngathĩ ya makinya matandatũ, na thuutha wakĩo igũrũ kĩarĩ gĩa gĩthiũrũrĩ. Mĩena-inĩ yeerĩ ya gĩtĩ kĩu kĩarĩ na handũ ha kũigĩrĩra moko, na nĩ haarĩ na mĩhiano ya mĩrũũthi ĩrũgamĩte mĩena-inĩ yeerĩ ya moko macio.
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.
20 Mĩhiano ĩngĩ ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ ya mĩrũũthi yarũgamĩtio ngathĩ-inĩ ĩyo ya makinya matandatũ. O ikinya rĩa ngathĩ rĩarĩ na mũhiano wa mũrũũthi o mwena. Gũtirĩ gĩtĩ kĩngĩ ta kĩu gĩathondeketwo mbere ĩyo gĩa ũthamaki ũngĩ o na ũrĩkũ.
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.
21 Indo ciothe iria Mũthamaki Solomoni aanyuuagĩra ciarĩ cia thahabu, na indo ciothe cia nyũmba iria ciarĩ Nyũmba ya Ũthamaki ĩrĩa yetagwo Mũtitũ wa Lebanoni ciarĩ cia thahabu therie. Gũtiarĩ kĩndũ gĩathondeketwo na betha, nĩgũkorwo betha yatuagwo kĩndũ gĩtarĩ bata mũno matukũ-inĩ macio ma Solomoni.
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.
22 Mũthamaki aarĩ na marikabu nyingĩ cia wonjoria iria-inĩ, hamwe na marikabu cia Hiramu. O riita rĩmwe thĩinĩ wa mĩaka ĩtatũ, nĩciacookaga ikuuĩte thahabu, na betha, na mĩguongo, na ngĩma, na nũgũ.
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.
23 Mũthamaki Solomoni aarĩ na ũtonga na ũũgĩ mũingĩ gũkĩra athamaki arĩa angĩ othe a thĩ.
So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth for riches and for wisdom.
24 Andũ a thĩ yothe nĩmacaragia ũrĩa mangĩona Solomoni nĩguo maigue ũũgĩ ũrĩa Ngai eekĩrĩte ngoro-inĩ yake.
And all the earth sought to Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which Elohim had put in his heart.
25 Andũ arĩa mookaga kũmuona mwaka o mwaka nĩmamũrehagĩra iheo; indo cia betha, na cia thahabu, na nguo ndaaya, na indo cia mbaara, na mahuti manungi wega, na mbarathi, na nyũmbũ.
And they brought every man his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and armour, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year.
26 Solomoni nĩacookanĩrĩirie ngaari cia ita na mbarathi; aarĩ na ngaari cia ita 1,400, na mbarathi 12,000 iria aigĩte matũũra-inĩ manene ma ngaari cia ita, na akaiga iria ingĩ hakuhĩ nake kũu Jerusalemu.
And Solomon gathered together 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.
27 Mũthamaki nĩatũmire betha cingĩhe Jerusalemu o ta mahiga, mĩtarakwa nayo yarĩ mĩingĩ o ta mĩtĩ ya mĩkũyũ ĩrĩa ĩrĩ magũrũ-inĩ ma irĩma.
And the king made silver to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he to be as the sycomore trees that are in the vale, for abundance.
28 Mbarathi cia Solomoni cioimaga bũrũri wa Misiri na Kilikia. Onjorithia a mũthamaki macigũraga kuuma Kilikia.
And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and linen yarn: the king's merchants received the linen yarn at a price.
29 Ngaari ĩmwe ya ita maamĩgũraga kuuma Misiri, ĩkoima cekeri magana matandatũ cia betha, nayo mbarathi ĩmwe ĩkoima cekeri igana rĩa mĩrongo ĩtano. Nao nĩmaciendagĩria athamaki othe a Ahiti na a Suriata.
And a chariot came up and went out of Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and an horse for an 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.
