1 A LOHE ke alii wahine o Seba i ke kaulana o Solomona, hele mai ia i Ierusalema e hoao ia Solomona i na mea pohihihi, me ka huakai nui, me na kamelo e lawe ana i na mea ala, a me ke gula he nui, a me na pohaku makamae; a hiki kela io Solomona la, kamailio pu oia me ia i na mea a pau loa iloko o kona naau.
Indlovukazi yaseShebha isizwile ngodumo lukaSolomoni, yaya eJerusalema ukuba iyemlinga ngemibuzo enzima. Yayiphelekezelwa ludwende olukhulu, amakamela ayethwele iziyoliso, igolide elinengi kakhulu lamatshe aligugu, yafika kuSolomoni yaxoxa laye ngakho konke eyayikumumethe.
2 A hai aku o Solomona ia ia i na mea a pau loa ana i ninau ai; aohe mea i koe a Solomona i hai ole aku ai ia ia.
USolomoni wayiphendula yonke imibuzo yayo, akubanga lalutho olwaba nzima ukuthi aluchasisele yona.
3 A ike ke alii wahine o Seba i ka naauao o Solomona, a me ka hale ana i kukulu ai,
Inkosikazi yaseShebha isibonile konke ukuhlakanipha kukaSolomoni, lesigodlo ayesakhile,
4 A me ka ai o kona papaaina, a me ka noho ana o kana poe kauwa, a me ke ku ana o kana poe lawelawe, a me ko lakou kahiko ana; a i ka poe lawe kiaha a me ko lakou kahiko ana, a me ke ala kahi i pii ai oia iluna i ka hale o Iehova; aole hanu i koe iloko ona.

5 Olelo aku la ia i ke alii, He oiaio ka mea a'u i lohe ai ma kuu aina no kau hana ana a me kou naauao.
Yathi enkosini, “Imibiko ebifika ezindlebeni zami elizweni lami ngengqubelaphambili langenhlakanipho yakho iqotho.
6 Aole nae i hoomaopopo i ka lakou olelo, a hiki mai au, a ike ko'u mau maka; aia hoi, aole i haiia mai ia'u ka hapalua o kou nui, a me kou naauao; ua hooi aku oe i ka lono ana a'u i lohe ai.
Ngibe ngingayikholwa leyo mbiko ngaze ngazibonela ngawami amehlo. Ngeqiniso, akufiki engxenyeni engikuzwileyo ngokujula kwenhlakanipho yakho; engikubonileyo kwedlula engakuzwayo ngawe ngokuphindwe kanengi.
7 Pomaikai kou poe kanaka, a pomaikai hoi keia poe kauwa au, ka poe e ku mau ana imua o kou alo, a e lohe ana hoi i kou naauao.
Yeka ukujabula kwabantu bakho! Yeka ziyadela izikhulu zakho, ezihlezi zimi phambi kwakho zizizwela inhlakanipho yakho!
8 E hoomaikaiia o Iehova kou Akua, ka mea i makemake mai ia oe e hoonoho ia oe maluna o kona nohoalii, i alii no Iehova no kou Akua; no ke aloha ana o kou Akua i ka Iseraela, a me kona hookupaa mau loa ana ia lakou, nolaila oia i hoonoho iho ai ia oe maluna o lakou i alii e hana i ka pono a me ka pololei.
Udumo kuThixo uNkulunkulu wakho, obe lokuthokoza ngawe wakufaka esihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi ukuba ube yinkosi ubusele uThixo uNkulunkulu wakho. Ngenxa yothando lukaNkulunkulu wakho ngo-Israyeli, lokuzimisela ukubamela kuze kube nininini, ukubekile waba yinkosi phezu kwabo, ukuze ulondoloze ukwahlulela ngemfanelo langokulunga.”
9 A haawi mai la oia i ke alii i hookahi haneri talena gula a me ka iwakalua, a me na mea ala he nui loa, a me na pohaku makamae; aohe mea ala e ae e like me ka mea a ke alii wahine no Seba i haawi mai ai i ke alii ia Solomona.
Indlovukazi yasinika uSolomoni amathalenta egolide alikhulu elilamatshumi amabili, iziyoliso ezinengi, lamatshe aligugu. Kwakungakaze kube leziyoliso ezinjengalezo ezaphiwa inkosi uSolomoni yindlovukazi yaseShebha.
10 A o na kauwa a Hurama a me na kauwa a Solomona ka poe i lawe i ke gula mai Opira mai, lawe no hoi lakou i na laau aleguma a me na pohaku makamae.
(Izinceku zikaHiramu lezikaSolomoni zaletha igolide livela e-Ofiri; zaletha lezigodo zomʼaligumu lamatshe aligugu.
11 Hana iho la o Solomona me ka laau aleguma i alapii no ka hale o Iehova, a no ka hale o ke alii, a me na mea kani, a me na kuolo kani no ka poe mele; aole i ikeia na mea e like me ua mau mea la ma ka aina o Iuda.
Inkosi yasebenzisa izigodo zomʼaligumu ukwakha inyathelo lethempeli likaThixo lenyathelo lesigodlo sesikhosini, kanye lokwenza imihubhe lemiqangala yabahlabeleli. Kwakungakaze kubonakale okunjengalokhu kwelakoJuda).
12 A haawi aku la ke alii o Solomona i ke alii wahine no Seba i kona makemake a pau, na mea ana i noi mai ai, o na mea kekahi ana i haawi mai ai na ke alii: alaila, huli ae la oia a hele aku la i kona aina, oia a me kana poe kauwa.
Inkosi uSolomoni yapha inkosikazi yaseShebha okwedlula lokho eyayikucelile, kwakukunengi kugabhela lokho ayekuphathelwe yinkosikazi. Yavalelisa-ke inkosikazi yabuyela elizweni layo lobhobo lwezindwendwe zayo.
13 A o ke kaupaona ana o ke gula i laweia ia Solomona i ka makahiki hookahi, eono haneri a me kanaonokumamaono talena gula:
Isisindo segolide elalifika kuSolomoni minyaka yonke lalingamathalenta angamakhulu ayisithupha lamatshumi ayisithupha lasithupha,
14 Okoa ka mea a ka poe kuai, a me ka poe kalepa i lawe mai ai: a o na'lii a pau o Arabia, a me na kiaaina, lawe mai la lakou i ke gula, a me ke kala ia Solomona.
kungabalwa inzuzo eyayivela emithelweni yabathengisi labathengi. Kunjalo-nje amakhosi ase-Arabhiya leziphathamandla zelizwe zaletha igolide lesiliva kuSolomoni.
15 Hana iho la o Solomona ke alii i na paleumauma gula maemae ole elua haneri; eono haneri sekela gula maemae ole ma ka paleumauma hookahi.
Inkosi uSolomoni yenza amahawu amakhulu angamakhulu amabili ngegolide elikhandiweyo; lilinye langena amashekeli angamakhulu ayisithupha.
16 A me na palekaua gula maemae ole ekolu haneri; ekolu haneri sekela gula maemae ole ma ka palekaua hookahi; a waiho iho la ke ahi ia mau mea iloko o ka hale o ka ululaau o Lebanona.
Inkosi yasisenza ezinye ezincinyane ezingamakhulu amathathu ngegolide elikhandiweyo, sisinye sithatha amashekeli egolide elikhandiweyo angamakhulu amathathu. Inkosi yazibeka eSigodlweni saseGuswini laseLebhanoni.
17 A hana iho la ke alii i nohoalii niho elepani a nui, a uhi oia ia mea i ke gula maemae.
Ngakho inkosi yasisenza isihlalo esikhulu sinanyekwe ngempondo zendlovu ngaphakathi kodwa ngaphandle kuligolide elihle.
18 Eono anuu i ka nohoalii, a he paepae wawae gula, e pili ana i ka nohoalii, a me na kalele ma kela aoao a me keia aoao o kahi e noho ai, a elua liona e ku ana ma keia mau aoao.
Isihlalo sobukhosi sasilezinyathelo eziyisithupha njalo kulesenabelo segolide esasixhunywe kuso. Emaceleni esihlalo kwakulezeyamelo zengalo, yileso laleso kumi isilwane eceleni kwaso.
19 O na liona he umikumamalua i ka malaila maluna o na anuu, eono ma kela aoao a ma keia aoao; aohe mea e like ai i hanaia ma na aupuni a pau.
Izilwane ezilitshumi lambili zazimi kulawomakhwelelo ayisithupha, sisinye simi nganxanye kwekhwelelo ngalinye. Kakukho okunjalo okwakuke kwenzekala loba kuwuphi umbuso.
20 A o na kiaha inu a pau loa o ke alii, o Solomona, he gula no; a o na ipu a pau o ka hale o ka ululaau o Lebanona he gula maemae; aole he kala kekahi, ua manaia oia he mea ole, i na la o Solomona.
Zonke inkezo zenkosi uSolomoni zazingezegolide, lazozonke izitsha zeSigodlweni saseGuswini laseLebhanoni zazingezegolide elicolekileyo. Akukho okwakwenziwe ngesiliva ngoba ngensuku zikaSolomoni igugu lesiliva lalilincinyane kakhulu.
21 No ka mea, holo na moku o ke alii ma Taresisa me na kauwa a Hurama, hookahi ku ana o na moku o Taresisa i na makahiki ekolu, e lawe mai ana i ke gula, a me ke kala a me na niho elepani, a me na keko a me na pikaka.
Inkosi yayilodibi lwemikhumbi yezokuthengiselana eyayigwedlwa ngabantu bakaHiramu. Yayiphenduka kanye ngemva kohambo lweminyaka emithathu, iphenduka ithwele igolide, isiliva lempondo zendlovu, inkawu lendwangu.
22 A oi e aku o Solomona mamua o na'lii a pau loa o ka honua ma ka waiwai a me ka naauao.
Inkosi uSolomoni yawedlula wonke amakhosi omhlaba ngenotho langenhlakanipho.
23 Ua imi na'lii a pau o ka honua i ke alo o Solomona e lohe i kona naauao, ka mea a ke Akua i hookomo ai iloko o kona naau.
Amakhosi wonke omhlaba eza kuSolomoni ukuzokuzwa inhlakanipho uNkulunkulu ayeyifake enhliziyweni yakhe.
24 A lawe mai lakou, kela mea keia mea, i kana makana, i na ipu kala, a me na ipu gula, a me na aahu, a me na mea kaua, a me na mea ala, a me na lio, a me na hoki, he haawina i kela makahiki i keia makahiki.
Minyaka yonke amlethela izipho zesiliva lezegolide, izembatho, izikhali leziyoliso, lamabhiza kanye lezimbongolo.
25 Aia no ia Solomona na kauhale, kahi no na lio, a no na halekaa eha tausani, a me na hoohololio he umikumamalua tausani; a hoonoho oia ia lakou iloko o na kulanakauhale no na kaa, a ma Ierusalema kekahi me ke alii.
USolomoni wayelezibaya zamabhiza lezezinqola zokulwa ezizinkulungwane ezine, kanye lamabhiza azinkulungwane ezilitshumi lambili, ayekugcina emizini yezinqola zokulwa okunye njalo kukuye khonapho eJerusalema.
26 A noho alii oia maluna o na'lii a pau mai ka muliwai a hiki i ka aina o Pilisetia, a i ka mokuna o Aigupita.
Wabusa wonke amakhosi kusukela emfuleni iYufrathe kusiya elizweni lamaFilistiya, lasemngceleni weGibhithe.
27 A hoolilo ae la ke alii i ke kala ma Ierusalema e like me na pohaku, a haawi mai i na laau kedera e like me na laau sukamorea ma ke awawa i nui loa.
Inkosi yandisa isiliva kwangani ngamatshe eJerusalema, lezihlahla zomsedari zanda kwangani yizihlahla zomkhiwa wesikhamore emawatheni ezintaba.
28 A ua kaiia mai na lio no Solomona mai Aigupita mai, a mailoko mai o na aina a pau.

29 A o na mea i koe a Solomona i hana'i, mamua, a mahope hoi, aole anei i kakauia ia mau mea ma ka palapala a Natana, ke kaula, a me ka wanana a Ahiia no Siloni, a ma ka wanana a Ido ana i wanana ai no Ieroboama ke keiki a Nebata?
Ezinye izehlakalo ezenzakala ekubuseni kukaSolomoni kazilotshwanga yini kusukela ekuqaleni kuze kube sekucineni, ezindabeni zomlandu kaNathani umphrofethi, lasesiphrofethini sika-Ahija waseShilo, lasemibonweni ka-Ido umboni emayelana loJerobhowamu indodana kaNebhathi?
30 A noho alii o Solomona ma Ierusalema maluna o ka Iseraela a pau i na makahiki hookahi kanaha.
USolomoni wabusa u-Israyeli wonke eJerusalema okweminyaka engamatshumi amane.
31 A hiamoe iho la o Solomona me kona mau makua, a kanu lakou ia ia ma ke kulanakauhale o Davida o kona makua, a noho alii iho la o Rehoboama mahope ona.
Waya kwabaphansi, wangcwatshwa emzini kaDavida uyise. URehobhowami indodana yakhe waba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.
