1 Wa 10
1 Alò, lè rèn Séba a te tande koze a repitasyon Salomon pa non SENYÈ a, li te vini pou pase l a leprèv avèk kesyon difisil.
When the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the LORD’s name, she came to test him with hard questions.
2 Li te vini Jérusalem avèk yon trè gran kantite moun, avèk chamo ki t ap pote epis, anpil lò avèk pyè presye. Lè li te vini kote Salomon, li te pale avèk li selon tout sa ki te nan kè li.
She came to Jerusalem with a very great caravan, with camels that bore spices, very much gold, and precious stones; and when she had come to Solomon, she talked with him about all that was in her heart.
3 Salomon te reponn a tout kesyon li yo; anyen pa t kache a wa a pou l pa t eksplike li.
Solomon answered all her questions. There was not anything hidden from the king which he did not tell her.
4 Lè rèn a Séba te vin konprann tout sajès a Salomon an, kay ke li te bati a,
When the queen of Sheba had seen all the wisdom of Solomon, the house that he had built,
5 manje sou tab li, kapasite sèvitè li yo, jan moun ki te sèvi tab yo te atantif, jan yo abiye, pòtè tas diven yo, ak eskalye li, kote li te monte rive lakay SENYÈ a, li te vin pa gen kouraj ankò.
the food of his table, the sitting of his servants, the attendance of his officials, their clothing, his cup bearers, and his ascent by which he went up to the LORD’s house, there was no more spirit in her.
6 Konsa, li te di a wa a: “Rapò ke m te tande soti nan peyi mwen selon pawòl ou avèk sajès ou a te vrè.
She said to the king, “It was a true report that I heard in my own land of your acts and of your wisdom.
7 Men mwen pa t kwè rapò yo jiskaske mwen te rive e zye m te wè li. Epi vwala, yo pa t pale m mwatye verite. Ou depase nan sajès avèk richès rapò ke m te tande a.
However, I did not believe the words until I came and my eyes had seen it. Behold, not even half was told me! Your wisdom and prosperity exceed the fame which I heard.
8 Jan mesye pa ou yo beni! Beni se sèvitè ki kanpe devan ou yo tout tan pou tande sajès ou.
Happy are your men, happy are these your servants who stand continually before you, who hear your wisdom.
9 Beni se SENYÈ a, Bondye ou a, ki te pran plezi nan ou pou mete ou sou twòn Israël la. Akoz SENYÈ a te renmen Israël pou tout tan, se pou sa Li te fè ou wa, pou fè lajistis avèk ladwati.”
Blessed is the LORD your God, who delighted in you, to set you on the throne of Israel. Because the LORD loved Israel forever, therefore he made you king, to do justice and righteousness.”
10 Li te bay wa a san-ven talan lò, yon gran kantite epis avèk pyè presye. Fòs kantite epis sa a tankou sa ke rèn Séba a te bay a Wa Salomon an pa t janm antre ankò.
She gave the king one hundred twenty talents of gold, and a very great quantity of spices, and precious stones. Never again was there such an abundance of spices as these which the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.
11 Osi, bato a Hiram ki te pote lò ki sòti Ophir yo, te mennen fè antre soti Ophir yon gran kantite pye bwa koray avèk pyè presye.
The fleet of Hiram that brought gold from Ophir also brought in from Ophir great quantities of almug trees and precious stones.
12 Wa a te fè soutyen lakay SENYÈ a avèk lakay wa a avèk bwa koray yo e osi ap yo avèk gita pou chantè yo. Bwa koray yo tankou sila yo pa t janm antre ankò, ni yo pa t janm wè jis rive jodi a.
The king made of the almug trees pillars for the LORD’s house and for the king’s house, harps also and stringed instruments for the singers; no such almug trees came or were seen to this day.
13 Wa Salomon te bay a rèn Séba tout sa ke li te dezire, tout sa ke li te mande, anplis de sa li te ba li selon bonte wayal li. Konsa, li te vire retounen nan pwòp peyi pa li a, ansanm avèk sèvitè pa li yo.
King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she asked, in addition to that which Solomon gave her of his royal bounty. So she turned and went to her own land, she and her servants.
14 Alò, pwa lò a ki te antre pou Salomon nan yon ane se te sis-san-swasann-sis talan lò,
Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred sixty-six talents of gold,
15 anplis de sa ki te sòti nan machann avèk byen a tout komèsan yo, tout wa pami Arab yo avèk gouvènè nan chak peyi yo.
in addition to that which the traders brought, and the traffic of the merchants, and of all the kings of the mixed people, and of the governors of the country.
16 Wa Salomon te fè de-san gran boukliye avèk lò bat avèk sis-san sik lò nan chak gran boukliye.
King Solomon made two hundred bucklers of beaten gold; six hundred shekels of gold went to one buckler.
17 Avèk twa-san boukliye nan lò bat, ki te sèvi twa min lò sou chak boukliye e wa a te mete yo nan kay Forè Liban an.
He made three hundred shields of beaten gold; three minas of gold went to one shield; and the king put them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon.
18 Anplis, wa a te fè yon gwo twòn avèk ivwa e li te kouvri li avèk lò rafine.
Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with the finest gold.
19 Avèk sis machpye monte pou rive nan twòn nan, e yon tèt won sou twòn nan pa dèyè li, bra yo nan chak kote chèz la, e de lyon ki te kanpe akote bra yo.
There were six steps to the throne, and the top of the throne was round behind; and there were armrests on either side by the place of the seat, and two lions standing beside the armrests.
20 Douz lyon te kanpe la sou sis machpye yo, sou yon kote e menm jan an sou lòt la. Anyen tankou li pa t fèt nan okenn lòt wayòm.
Twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other on the six steps. Nothing like it was made in any kingdom.
21 Tout veso a Wa Salomon pou bwè yo te fèt an lò. Tout veso nan kay Forè a Liban yo te an lò pi. Nanpwen ki te an ajan. Sa pa t konsidere kòm bagay chè nan jou a Salomon yo.
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, because it was considered of little value in the days of Solomon.
22 Paske wa a te gen sou lanmè a bato a Tarsis avèk bato a Hiram yo. Yon fwa chak twazan bato a Tarsis yo te vini pote lò avèk ajan, ivwa avèk makak ak bèl zwazo pan yo.
For the king had a fleet of ships of Tarshish at sea with Hiram’s fleet. Once every three years the fleet of Tarshish came bringing gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks.
23 Konsa, Wa Salomon te vin pi gran ke tout wa sou latè yo nan richès avèk sajès.
So King Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth in riches and in wisdom.
24 Tout latè t ap chache prezans a Salomon pou tande sajès li ke Bondye te mete nan kè li.
All the earth sought the presence of Solomon to hear his wisdom which God had put in his heart.
25 Chak moun te pote kado li, afè an ajan avèk lò, vètman, zam, epis, cheval avèk milèt, an gran kantite ane pa ane.
Year after year, every man brought his tribute, vessels of silver, vessels of gold, clothing, armor, spices, horses, and mules.
26 Alò, Salomon te ranmase cha avèk cheval yo. Li te gen mil-kat-san cha avèk douz-mil chevalye e li te estasyone yo nan vil cha yo avèk wa a nan Jérusalem.
Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen. He had one thousand four hundred chariots and twelve thousand horsemen. He kept them in the chariot cities and with the king at Jerusalem.
27 Wa a te fè ajan vin gaye toupatou tankou wòch Jérusalem. Li te fè sèd yo vin anpil tankou bwa sikomò ki rete nan ba plèn nan.
The king made silver as common as stones in Jerusalem, and cedars as common as the sycamore trees that are in the lowland.
28 Osi, lè Salomon te enpòte cheval yo, yo te soti an Égypte avèk Kuwe. Machann a wa yo te chache yo soti Kuwe pou yon pri.
The horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt. The king’s merchants received them in droves, each drove at a price.
29 Yon cha te konn enpòte soti Égypte pou sis-san sik an ajan ak yon cheval pou san-senkant e pa menm mwayen an, yo te ekspòte yo a tout wa Etyen avèk wa Siryen yo.
A chariot was imported from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for one hundred fifty shekels; and so they exported them to all the kings of the Hittites and to the kings of Syria.
