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.
And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon because of the name of the LORD, she came to prove 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.
And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels that bore spices and gold very much, and precious stones; and when she was come to Solomon, she spoke with him of 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.
And Solomon told her all her questions; there was not any thing hid from the king which he told her not.
4 Lè rèn a Séba te vin konprann tout sajès a Salomon an, kay ke li te bati a,
And when the queen of Sheba had seen all the wisdom of Solomon, and 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.
and the food of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel, and his cupbearers, and his burnt-offering which he offered in the house of the LORD, 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.
And she said to the king: 'It was a true report that I heard in mine own land of thine acts, and of thy 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.
Howbeit I believed not the words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it; and, behold, the half was not told me; thou hast wisdom and prosperity exceeding 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 thy men, happy are these thy servants, that stand continually before thee, and that hear thy 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 be the LORD thy God, who delighted in thee, to set thee on the throne of Israel; because the LORD loved Israel for ever, therefore made He thee 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.
And she gave the king a 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 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.
And the navy also of Hiram, that brought gold from Ophir, brought in from Ophir great plenty of sandal-wood 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.
And the king made of the sandal-wood pillars for the house of the LORD, and for the king's house, harps also and psalteries for the singers; there came no such sandal-wood, nor was seen, unto 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.
And king Solomon gave to 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 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 threescore and 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.
beside that which came of the merchants, and of the traffic of the traders, and of all the kings of the mingled 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.
And king Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold: six hundred shekels of gold went to one target.
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.
And he made three hundred shields of beaten gold: three pounds 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 arms on either side by the place of the seat, and two lions standing beside the arms.
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.
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 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.
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 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 at sea a navy of Tarshish with the navy of Hiram; once every three years came the navy of Tarshish, bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and 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.
And 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.
And they brought every man his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and raiment, and armour, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year.
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.
And Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen; and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, that he bestowed 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.
And the king made silver to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he to be as the sycamore-trees that are in the Lowland, for abundance.
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.
And the horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt; also out of Keveh, the king's merchants buying them of the men of Keveh 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.
And a chariot came up and went out of Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty; and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Aram, did they bring them out by their means.
