I Na Lii 10
1 A LOHE ae la ko alii wahine o Seba i ke kaulana o Solomona, no ka inoa o Iehova, hele mai la oia e hoao ia ia i na mea pohihihi.
Now when the queen of Sheba heard about the fame of Solomon concerning the name of the LORD, she came to test him with difficult questions.
2 Hele mai la hoi oia i Ierusalema me ka huakai nui loa, a me na kamelo e halihali ana i na mea ala, a me ke gula he nui loa, a me na pohaku makamae; a hiki mai ia io Solomona la, kamailio mai la oia me ia i na mea a pau iloko o kona naau.
She arrived in Jerusalem with a very large caravan—with camels bearing spices, gold in great abundance, and precious stones. So she came to Solomon and spoke to him all that was on her mind.
3 Hoakaka aku la o Solomona i na mea a pau ana i ninau mai ai, aohe mea hunaia i ke alii, ana i hai ole aku ai ia ia.
And Solomon answered all her questions; nothing was too difficult for the king to explain.
4 A ike ae la ke alii wahine o Seba, i ke akamai a pau a Solomona, a me ka hale ana i kukulu ai,
When the queen of Sheba saw all the wisdom of Solomon, the palace he had built,
5 A me ka ai o kona papaaina, a me ka noho ana o kana mau kauwa, a me ke ku ana mai o kona poe lawelawe, me ko lakou kahiko ana, a me kona poe lawe kiaha, a me kona alapii i pii ai oia i ka hale o Iehova; aole ae la he hanu iloko ona.
the food at his table, the seating of his servants, the service and attire of his attendants and cupbearers, and the burnt offerings he presented at the house of the LORD, it took her breath away.
6 A olelo ae la oia i ke alii, He olelo oiaio ka'u i lohe ai ma ko'u aina no kau mau hana a me kou akamai:
She said to the king, “The report I heard in my own country about your words and wisdom is true.
7 Aka, aole au i manaoio ia mau olelo, a hiki mai nei au, a ike ko'u mau maka, aia hoi, aole no ka hapalua i haiia mai ia'u; na kela aku kou akamai a me kou pomaikai mamua o ke kaulana a'u i lohe ai.
But I did not believe these things until I came and saw with my own eyes. Indeed, not even half was told to me. Your wisdom and prosperity have far exceeded the report I heard.
8 Pomaikai kou poe kanaka, pomaikai kau poe kauwa, ka poe e ku mau ana ma kou alo, e hoolohe ana i kou akamai.
How blessed are your men! How blessed are these servants of yours who stand continually before you and hear your wisdom!
9 E hoomaikaiia'ku o Iehova kou Akua, ka mea i olioli mai ia oe e hoonoho iho ia oe ma ka nohoalii o ka Iseraela; no ko Iehova aloha mau ana i ka Iseraela, nolaila i hoolilo ai oia ia oe i alii e hooponopono, a e hana ma ka maikai.
Blessed be the LORD your God, who has delighted in you to set you on the throne of Israel. Because of the LORD’s eternal love for Israel, He has made you king to carry out justice and righteousness.”
10 Haawi ae la hoi ia wahine i ke alii i hookahi haneri mo ka iwakalua talena gula, a mo na mea ala he nui loa, a me na pohaku makamae; aole hiki hou mai ka nui loa o na mea ala me neia a ke alii wahine o Seba i haawi mai ai ia Solomona ke alii.
Then she gave the king 120 talents of gold, a great quantity of spices, and precious stones. Never again was such an abundance of spices brought in as those the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.
11 A o na moku hoi o Hirama i lawe mai i ke gula mai Opera mai, ua lawe pu mai i na laau alemuga he nui loa, mai Opera mai, a me na pohaku makamae.
(The fleet of Hiram that brought gold from Ophir also brought from Ophir a great cargo of almug wood and precious stones.
12 Hana iho la ke alii i na laau alemuga i mau kia no ka hale o Iehova, a no ka hale o ke alii, a me na lira, a me na pesaleteria no ka poe mele; aole hiki mai na laau alemuga e like me neia, aole hoi i ikeia a hiki i keia la.
The king made the almug wood into steps for the house of the LORD and for the king’s palace, and into lyres and harps for the singers. Never before had such almug wood been brought in, nor has such been seen to this day.)
13 A haawi aku la o Solomona ke alii i ke alii wahine o Seba i kona makemake a pau, i kela mea keia mea ana i noi mai ai; o kana ia i haawi aku ai ia ia e like me ka lima o Solomona ke alii; alaila huli ia a hoi aku i kona aina iho, oia me kana mau kauwa.
King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba all she desired—whatever she asked—besides what he had given her out of his royal bounty. Then she left and returned to her own country, along with her servants.
14 A o ke kaumaha o ke gula i hiki mai ia Solomona i ka makahiki hookahi, aono haneri, me kanaono kumamaono talena gula.
The weight of gold that came to Solomon each year was 666 talents,
15 Okoa ka mea i loaa ia ia mai ka poe kalepa, a me ka poe kuai mea ala, a me na alii a pau o Arabia, a me na kiaaina o ka aina.
not including the revenue from the merchants, traders, and all the Arabian kings and governors of the land.
16 A hana iho la o Solomona ke alii i elua haneri paleumauma gula maemae ole, eono haneri sekela gula i lilo i paleumauma hookahi.
King Solomon made two hundred large shields of hammered gold; six hundred shekels of gold went into each shield.
17 Hana iho la oia i ekolu haneri palekaua gula kuiia; ekolu paona gula i lilo i palekaua hookahi, a waiho ae la ke alii ia lakou maloko o ka hale ma ka ululaau o Lebanona.
He also made three hundred small shields of hammered gold; three minas of gold went into each shield. And the king put them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon.
18 Hana iho la hoi ke alii i nohoalii niho elepani nui, a hoouhi ae la i ke gula maikai loa.
Additionally, the king made a great throne of ivory and overlaid it with pure gold.
19 He mau anuunuu eono ko ka nohoalii, a poepoe ae la ke poo o ka nohoalii ma ke kua, a he mau lima ma kela aoao, ma keia aoao ma kahi e noho ai, elua hoi liona e ku ana ma na lima.
The throne had six steps, and its back had a rounded top. There were armrests on both sides of the seat, with a lion standing beside each armrest.
20 He umikumamalua liona i ku malaila ma kela aoao a ma keia aoao maluna o na anuunuu eono; aohe mea like me ia i hanaia ma kekahi aupuni.
Twelve lions stood on the six steps, one at either end of each step. Nothing like this had ever been made for any kingdom.
21 A o ko ke alii, ko Solomona mau kiaha inu he gula no, a me na ipu o ka hale ma ka ululaau o Lebanona, he gula maemae ia; aole mea kala; ua manaoia ia he mea ole i na la o Solomona.
All King Solomon’s drinking cups were gold, and all the utensils of the House of the Forest of Lebanon were pure gold. There was no silver, because it was accounted as nothing in the days of Solomon.
22 No ka mea, he mau moku no Taresisa ko ke alii ma ke kai, me na moku o Hirama; i na makahiki ekolu, hookahi ka holo ana mai o na moku no Teresisa, e lawe ana mai i ke gula, a me ke kala, a me ka niho elepani, a me na keko, a me na pikoka.
For the king had the ships of Tarshish at sea with Hiram’s fleet, and once every three years the ships of Tarshish would arrive bearing gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks.
23 A kela aku la o Solomona ke alii i na lii a pau o ka honua i ka waiwai a me ke akamai.
So King Solomon surpassed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.
24 A imi aku la ka honua a pau i ke alo o Solomona e hoolohe i kona akamai a ke A kua i hahao ai iloko o kona naau.
The whole world sought an audience with Solomon to hear the wisdom that God had put in his heart.
25 Halihali mai la lakou kela kanaka keia kanaka i kona makana, na ipu kala, na ipu gula, na kapakomo, na mea kaua, na mea ala, na lio, na hoki, pela i kela makahiki keia makahiki.
Year after year, each visitor would bring his tribute: articles of silver and gold, clothing, weapons, spices, horses, and mules.
26 Hoakoakoa ae la o Solomona i na kaa kaua, a me na hoo hololio: hookahi tausani kaa me na haneri eha kona, a he umikumamalua tausani hoohololio, o na mea ana i hoonoho ai ma na kulanakauhale no na kaa, a me ke alii hoi ma Ierusalema.
Solomon accumulated 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horses, which he stationed in the chariot cities and also with him in Jerusalem.
27 Hoolilo ae la ke alii i ke kala maloko o Ierusalema me he mau pohaku la, a hoolilo hoi oia i na laau kedera me he mau laau Sukamorea ma ke awawa i ka nui loa.
The king made silver as common in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar as abundant as sycamore in the foothills.
28 A ua kaiia mai na lio no Solomona mai Aigupita mai, a na na huakai kalepa a ke alii i lawe ma ke kumukuai.
Solomon’s horses were imported from Egypt and Kue; the royal merchants purchased them from Kue.
29 A ua puka mai la a holo mai ke kaa kaua no na sekela kala eono haneri, a o ka lio no ka haneri me kanalima; a pela no hoi no na lii a pau o ka Heta, a no na lii o Suria, ma ko lakou mau lima i lawe mai ai ia lakou.
A chariot could be imported from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty. Likewise, they exported them to all the kings of the Hittites and to the kings of Aram.
