2 Istwa 9
1 Alò, depi rèn Séba te tande afè rekonesans a Salomon an, li te vini Jérusalem pou fè pase Salomon a leprèv avèk kesyon ki te byen difisil. Li te gen yon gran konpanyen moun avèk chamo chaje avèk epis ak yon gran kantite lò, avèk pyè presye. Lè li te rive kote Salomon, li te pale avèk li selon tout sa ki te nan kè li.
And the queen of Sheba has heard of the fame of Solomon, and comes to Jerusalem to try Solomon with acute sayings, with a very great company, and camels carrying spices and gold in abundance, and precious stone; and she comes to Solomon, and speaks with him all that has been with her heart,
2 Salomon te reponn tout kesyon li yo. Anyen pa t kache a Salomon ke li pa t eksplike li.
and Solomon declares all her matters to her, and there has not been hid a thing from Solomon that he has not declared to her.
3 Lè rèn Séba te fin wè sajès a Salomon an, kay ke li te bati a,
And the queen of Sheba sees the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he has built,
4 manje sou tab li, aranjman pozisyon chèz sèvitè li yo, konpòtman avèk abiman ministè li yo, eskalye li a sou sila li te konn monte pou rive lakay SENYÈ a, sa te fè l pèdi souf.
and the food of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the standing of his ministers, and their clothing, and his stewards, and their clothing, and his burnt-offering that he offered up in the house of YHWH, and there has not been anymore spirit in her.
5 Li te di a wa a: “Se te verite; rapò ke m te tande nan pwòp peyi mwen konsènan pawòl avèk sajès ou.
And she says to the king, “The word [is] true that I heard in my land concerning your matters and concerning your wisdom,
6 Sepandan, mwen pa t kwè rapò yo jiskaske m te rive, e zye m vin wè. Epi vwala, mwatye a grandè a sajès yo pa t pale mwen sa. Ou depase rapò ke m te tande a.
and I have given no credence to their words until I have come and my eyes see, and behold, there has not been declared to me the half of the abundance of your wisdom—you have added to the report that I heard.
7 Jan mesye pa ou yo beni, jan sèvitè ou yo ki kanpe devan ou tout tan pou tande sajès ou yo beni!
O the blessedness of your men, and the blessedness of your servants—these—who are standing before you continually, and hearing your wisdom.
8 Beniswa SENYÈ a, Bondye ou a, ki te pran plezi nan ou, e ki te mete ou sou twòn Li kòm wa pou SENYÈ a, Bondye ou a, akoz Bondye ou a te renmen Israël, Li etabli yo jis pou tout tan. Pou sa, Li te fè ou wa sou yo, pou fè lajistis avèk ladwati.”
Let your God YHWH be blessed who has delighted in you to put you on His throne for king for your God YHWH; in the love of your God to Israel, to establish it for all time, He has put you over them for king, to do judgment and righteousness.”
9 Apre sa, li te bay wa a san-ven talan lò avèk yon trè gran kantite epis avèk pyè presye. Pa t janm te kon gen epis kon sa yo ke rèn Séba te bay a Wa Salomon an.
And she gives to the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices in great abundance, and precious stone; and there has not been any such spice as the queen of Sheba has given to King Solomon.
10 Sèvitè a Huram yo avèk sèvitè a Salomon ki te pote lò sòti nan Ophir yo, anplis te pote bwa sandal avèk pyè presye yo.
And also, servants of Huram, and servants of Solomon, who brought in gold from Ophir, have brought in algum-trees and precious stone.
11 Avèk bwa sandal yo, wa a te fè eskalye pou kay SENYÈ a ak pou palè wa a ak gita, avèk ap pou chantè yo. Epi nanpwen bagay konsa ki te konn wè avan nan peyi Juda.
And the king makes the algum-trees [into] staircases for the house of YHWH, and for the house of the king, and harps and psalteries for singers; and there have been none seen like these before in the land of Judah.
12 Wa Salomon te bay a rèn Séba tout dezi li nan sa li te mande, plis ke sa li te pote bay wa a. Alò, li te vire retounen nan peyi li avèk sèvitè li yo.
And King Solomon has given to the queen of Sheba all her desire that she asked, apart from that which she had brought to the king, and she turns and goes to her land, she and her servants.
13 Alò, pwa a lò ki te vini a Salomon nan en an te sis-san-swasann-sis talan an lò,
And the weight of the gold that is coming to Solomon in one year is six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold,
14 anplis de sa ke machann avèk komèsan yo te pote. Tout wa Arabie avèk dirijan peyi sa yo te mennen lò avèk ajan bay Salomon.
apart from [what] the tourists and the merchants are bringing in; and all the kings of Arabia, and the governors of the land, are bringing in gold and silver to Solomon.
15 Wa Salomon te fè de-san gran boukliye defans an lò bat, ki te sèvi sis-san sik lò nan chak gran boukliye.
And King Solomon makes two hundred bucklers of alloyed gold—he causes six hundred [shekels] of alloyed gold to go up on the one buckler;
16 Li te fè twa-san boukliye ki te sèvi twa-san sik lò sou chak boukliye e wa a te mete yo nan kay Forè Liban an.
and three hundred shields of alloyed gold—he causes three hundred [shekels] of gold to go up on the one shield, and the king puts them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon.
17 Anplis, wa a te fè yon gran twòn avèk ivwa, e li te kouvri li avèk lò pi.
And the king makes a great throne of ivory, and overlays it with pure gold;
18 Te gen sis mach pye eskalye ki pou rive nan twòn nan ak yon mach pye eskalye an lò ki te tache a twòn nan, avèk manch nan chak kote chèz la, avèk de lyon ki te kanpe akote manch yo.
and six steps [are] to the throne, and a footstool of gold, [and] they are fastened to the throne; and [places for] hands [are] on this [side] and on that [side] on the place of the sitting, and two lions are standing near the hands,
19 Douz lyon yo te kanpe la sou sis etap eskalye sou yon kote ak sou lòt la. Nanpwen anyen tankou li ki te fèt pou okenn lòt wayòm.
and twelve lions are standing there on the six steps on this [side] and on that [side]: it has not been made so for any kingdom.
20 Tout veso pou bwè ke Salomon te genyen yo te fèt an lò, e tout veso nan kay Forè Liban an te lò pi. Ajan pa t konsidere kòm tèlman valab nan jou a Salomon yo.
And all the drinking vessels of King Solomon [are] of gold, and all the vessels of the House of the Forest of Lebanon [are] of refined gold—silver is not reckoned in the days of Solomon for anything;
21 Paske wa a te gen bato ki te konn ale Tarsis avèk sèvitè a Huram yo. Yon fwa chak twazan, bato Tarsis yo te antre avèk lò ak ajan, ivwa, makak ak zwazo pan yo.
for ships of the king are going to Tarshish with servants of Huram: once in three years the ships of Tarshish come carrying gold, and silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks [[or monkeys]].
22 Konsa, Wa Salomon te vin pi gran pase tout wa sou latè yo nan richès avèk sajès.
And King Solomon becomes greater than any of the kings of the earth for riches and wisdom;
23 Epi tout wa latè yo t ap chache prezans a Salomon pou tande sajès ke Bondye te mete nan kè li.
and all the kings of the earth are seeking the presence of Solomon to hear his wisdom that God has put in his heart,
24 Yo chak te pote pwòp kado pa yo: bagay an ajan avèk lò, vètman, zam, epis, cheval, milèt, an gran kantite ane pa ane.
and they are each bringing in his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, harness, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year.
25 Alò, Salomon te gen kat-mil estasyon separe pou cheval avèk cha e douz-mil chevalye. Li te pozisyone yo nan vil cha yo ak kote wa a nan Jérusalem.
And there are four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen for Solomon, and he placed them in cities of the chariot, and with the king in Jerusalem.
26 Li te mèt sou tout wa yo soti nan Rivyè Euphrate la, jis rive nan peyi Filisten yo, e jis rive nan lizyè Égypte la.
And he is ruling over all the kings from the River even to the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt.
27 Wa a te fè ajan gaye tankou wòch Jérusalem, e li te fè sèd yo anpil tankou bwa sikomò ki nan ba plèn nan.
And the king makes the silver in Jerusalem as stones, and he has made the cedars as sycamores that [are] in the low country, for abundance,
28 Yo te mennen cheval pou Salomon soti an Égypte avèk tout peyi yo.
and they are bringing out horses from Egypt to Solomon, and from all the lands.
29 Alò, tout lòt zèv a Salomon yo, soti nan premye a jis rive nan dènye a, èske yo pa ekri nan rekò a Nathan yo, pwofèt la, nan pwofesi Achija a, Silonit lan, ak nan vizyon a Jéedo yo, konseye a Jéroboam nan, fis a Nebath la?
And the rest of the matters of Solomon, the first and the last, are they not written beside the matters of Nathan the prophet, and beside the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and with the visions of Iddo the seer concerning Jeroboam son of Nebat?
30 Salomon te renye pandan karantan Jérusalem ak sou tout Israël.
And Solomon reigns in Jerusalem over all Israel [for] forty years,
31 Salomon te dòmi avèk zansèt li yo, e li te antere nan lavil papa li, David. Fis li, Roboam te renye nan plas li.
and Solomon lies with his fathers, and they bury him in the city of his father David, and his son Rehoboam reigns in his stead.
