1 Wa 10
1 Larenn peyi Saba tande pale ki kalite moun Salomon te ye ak jan sa te sèvi yon lwanj pou Seyè a. Li vwayaje pou lavil Jerizalèm pou l' sonde konesans Salomon avèk kèk keksyon difisil.
But also the queen of Saba, whanne the fame of Salomon was herd, cam in the name of the Lord to tempte hym in derk and douti questiouns.
2 Se konsa, li rive lavil Jerizalèm avèk yon pakèt moun ak anpil chamo chaje fèy santi bon, bèl pyè koute chè ak kantite lò. Lè li rive devan Salomon, li mande l' tout kalite keksyon li te fè lide mande l'.
And sche entride with myche felouschipe and richessis in to Jerusalem, and with camels berynge swete smellynge thingis, and gold greetli with out noumbre, and preciouse stoonys; and sche cam to king Salomon, and spak to hym alle thingis whiche sche hadde in hir herte.
3 Salomon menm reponn tout keksyon l' yo. pa t' gen anyen ki te twò difisil ni pou li reponn ni pou li esplike.
And Salomon tauyte hir alle wordis whiche sche hadde put forth; no word was, that myyte be hid fro the kyng, and which he answeryde not to hir.
4 Larenn peyi Saba a wè jan Salomon te gen anpil bon konprann. Li wè palè li te bati a.
Forsothe the queen of Saba siy al the wisdom of Salomon, and the hows which he hadde bildid,
5 Li wè kalite manje yo te sèvi sou tab li ak kay li te fè bati pou chèf li yo, jan li te òganize moun k'ap travay nan palè a, rad inifòm yo te genyen, domestik ki t'ap sèvi l' bweson, ak bèt li te ofri pou boule nèt pou Seyè a nan Tanp lan. Lè li wè tou sa, li pèdi lapawòl tèlman li te sezi.
and the metis of his table, and the dwellyng places of hise seruauntis, and the ordris of mynystris, and the clothis of hem, and the boteleris, and the brent sacrifices whiche he offride in the hows of the Lord; and sche hadde no more spirite.
6 Li di wa Salomon konsa: -Sa m' te tande nan peyi m' sou ou ak sou bon konprann ou an, se te vre!
And sche seide to the kyng, The word is trewe, which Y herde in my lond, of thi wordis, and of thi wisdom;
7 Men, mwen pa t' vle kwè toutotan mwen pa t' vini wè ak je pa mwen. Men, sa m' te tande a se pa mwatye sa m' wè a. Bon konprann ou ak richès ou pi plis pase sa yo te di m' lan.
and Y bileuyde not to men tellynge to me, til Y my silf cam, and siy with myn iyen, and preuede that the half part was not teld to me; thi wisdom is more and thi werkis, than the tale which Y herde.
8 Ala bèl chans madanm ou yo genyen! Ala bèl chans moun k'ap travay avè ou yo genyen! Yo toujou la devan ou ap tande pawòl bon konprann k'ap soti nan bouch ou!
Thi men ben blessid, and thi seruauntis ben blessid, these that stonden bifor thee euere, and heren thi wisdom.
9 Lwanj pou Seyè a, Bondye ou la! Li moutre jan li kontan avè ou. Li mete ou wa peyi Izrayèl la. Li menm ki renmen peyi Izrayèl la pou tout tan, li mete ou wa pou ou ka kenbe peyi a nan lòd, nan bon chemen san patipri.
Blessid be thi Lord God, whom thou plesedist, and hath set thee on the trone of Israel; for the Lord louyde Israel with outen ende, and hath ordeynyd thee kyng, that thou schuldist do doom and riytfulnesse.
10 Larenn lan fè wa a kado senk tòn lò ak kantite fèy santi bon ak anpil pyè koute chè. Wa a pa janm resevwa nan lavi li kantite fèy santi bon larenn Saba te ba li lè sa a.
Therfor sche yaf to the kyng sixe score talentis of gold, and ful many swete smellynge thingis, and precious stoonus; so many swete smellynge thingis weren no more brouyt, as tho which the queen of Saba yaf to kyng Salomon.
11 Batiman Iram yo ki te al chache lò nan peyi Ofi, te pote soti nan menm peyi sa a yon gwo kantite bwa koray ak anpil bèl pyè koute chè.
But also the schip of Hiram, that brouyte gold fro Ophir, brouyte fro Ophir ful many trees of tyme, and preciouse stoonys.
12 Salomon sèvi ak bwa koray la pou fè balistrad nan tanp lan ak nan palè a. Li fè gita ak bandjo pou mizisyen yo ak bwa sa a tou. Se te pi bon kalite bwa koray yo te janm fè antre nan peyi Izrayèl. Depi lè sa a yo pa janm wè sa ankò.
And kyng Salomon made of the trees of tyme vndir settyngis of the hows of the Lord, and of the kyngis hows, and harpis, and sitols to syngeris; siche trees of tyme weren not brouyt nether seyn, til in to present dai.
13 Wa Salomon te bay larenn peyi Saba a tou sa li te mande l', san konte lòt kado li menm, wa Salomon, li te vle ba li. Apre sa, larenn lan tounen nan peyi Saba ansanm ak tout moun ki te avè l' yo.
Sotheli kyng Salomon yaf to the queen of Saba alle thingis whiche sche wolde, and axide of hym, outakun these thingis whiche he hadde youe to hir bi the kyngis yifte wilfuli; and sche turnede ayen, and yede in to hir lond with hir seruauntis.
14 Chak lanne wa Salomon te resevwa vennsenk tòn lò,
Forsothe the weyte of gold, that was offrid to Salomon bi ech yeer, was of sixe hundrid and sixe and sixti talentis of gold,
15 san konte lajan li resevwa nan men moun k'ap fè trafik, nan men moun k'ap fè komès, nan men wa peyi Arabi yo ak nan men gouvènè pèp Izrayèl yo.
outakun that which men that weren on the talagis, `that is, rentis for thingis borun aboute in the lond, and marchauntis, and alle men sillynge scheeldys, and alle the kyngis of Arabie, and dukis of erthe yauen.
16 Salomon te fè fè desan (200) gwo plak pwotèj an fè. Lèfini, li fè kouvri yo chak ak yon kouch lò ki peze kenz liv.
And kyng Salomon made two hundrid scheeldis of pureste gold; he yaf sixe hundrid siclis of gold in to the platis of oo scheeld;
17 Li fè fè tou twasan ti plak pwotèj an fè, li fè kouvri yo chak ak yon kouch lò ki peze kat liv. Li mete tout plak pwotèj sa yo nan Salon Rakbwa peyi Liban an.
and he made thre hundrid of bokeleris of preued gold; thre hundrid talentis of gold clothiden o bokeler. And the kyng puttide tho in the hows of the forest of Lyban.
18 Li fè fè yon gwo fotèy ak kòn elefan. Li fè kouvri l' ak pi bon kalite lò ki genyen.
Also kyng Salomon made a greet trone of yuer, and clothide it with ful fyn gold;
19 Pou rive bò fotèy la, se pou ou te moute sis mach eskalye. Dèyè fotèy la te gen pòtre yon gwo tèt towo. Sou kote manch yo sou chak bò, te gen pòtre yon lyon.
which trone hadde sixe grees; and the hiynesse of the trone was round in the hynderere part; and tweine hondis on this side and on that side, holdynge the seete, and twei lyouns stoden bisidis ech hond;
20 Te gen douz lyon sou macheskalye yo, de sou chak mach, nan de pwent yo. Pa t' gen ankenn lòt peyi ki te gen fotèy pou w'a parèy ak fotèy sa a.
and twelue litil liouns stondynge on sixe grees on this side and on that side; siche a werk was not maad in alle rewmes.
21 Tout gode wa Salomon te sèvi pou l' bwè te fèt an lò. Tout bagay ki te sèvi nan Salon Rakbwa peyi Liban an te fèt ak bon lò. Yo pa t' sèvi ak ajan menm, paske nan tan Salomon ajan pa t' vo anyen.
But also alle the vessels, of which kyng Salomon drank, weren of gold, and alle the purtenaunce of the hows of the forest of Liban was of pureste gold; siluer was not, nether it was arettid of ony prijs in the daies of Salomon.
22 Li te gen kantite batiman pa l' ki t'ap vwayaje toupatou sou lanmè ansanm ak batiman Iram yo. Chak twazan, batiman yo tounen, yo pote lò, ajan, kòn elefan, pan ak makak.
For the schip of `the kyng wente onys bi thre yeer with the schip of Hiram in to Tharsis, and brouyte fro thennus gold, and siluer, and teeth of olifauntis, and apis, and pokokis.
23 Wa Salomon te pi rich pase tout lòt wa yo, li te gen plis bon konprann pase yo tout.
Therfor kyng Salomon was magnified aboue alle kyngis of erthe in richessis and wisdom.
24 Tout moun toupatou te vle vin wè l' pou tande pawòl bon konprann Bondye te mete nan bouch li.
And al erthe desiride to se the cheer of Salomon, to here the wisdom of him, which wisdom God hadde youe in his herte.
25 Chak moun ki te vini te pote kado pou li: bagay fèt an ajan ak an lò, rad, zam, fèy santi bon, chwal ak milèt. Chak lanne se te konsa.
And alle men brouyten yiftis to hym, vessels of gold, and of siluer, clothis, and armeris of batel, and swete smellynge thingis, and horsis, and mulis, bi ech yeer.
26 Salomon te sanble mil katsan (1.400) cha lagè ak douzmil (12.000) chwal pou sòlda kavalye yo. Li mete yon pòsyon ladan yo nan lavil li te fè bati tout espre pou yo. Rès yo, li mete yo bò kote l' lavil Jerizalèm.
And Salomon gaderide togidere charis, and knyytis; and a thousinde and foure hundrid charis weren maad to hym, and twelue thousynde `of knyytis; and he disposide hem bi strengthid citees, and with the kyng in Jerusalem.
27 Pandan tout rèy wa a, ajan te tankou wòch lavil Jerizalèm. Bwa sèd menm, ou te jwenn sa an kantite tankou pye sikomò nan rakbwa ki nan plenn peyi Jida yo.
And he made, that so greet aboundaunce of siluer was in Jerusalem, how greet was also of stoonys; and he yaf the multitude of cedris as sicomoris, that growen in feeldy places.
28 Chwal Salomon yo te soti nan peyi Lejip ak nan peyi Silisi. Wa a te gen moun pa l' ki te konn al achte chwal yo pou li la.
And the horsis of Salomon weren led out of Egipt, and of Coa; for the marchauntis of the kyng bouyten of Coa, and brouyten for prijs ordeyned.
29 Chak cha lagè achte nan peyi Lejip te koute sisan (600) pyès ajan, chak chwal te koute sansenkant (150) pyès ajan. Se menm moun sa yo ki te konn al achte chwal pou revann wa peyi Et yo ak wa peyi Siri yo.
Forsothe a chare yede out of Egipt for sixe hundrid siclis of siluer, and an hors for an hundrid and fifti siclis; and bi this maner alle the kyngis of Etheis and of Sirye seelden horsis.
