1 Ndị Eze 10
1 Mgbe eze nwanyị Sheba nụrụ akụkọ Solomọn, na ịdị na mma nke dị nʼetiti ya na Onyenwe anyị, ọ bịara ka o were ọtụtụ ajụjụ siri ike nwalee Solomọn.
And the queen of Saba, having; heard of the fame of Solomon in the name of the Lord, came to try him with hard questions.
2 Ọ bịarutere Jerusalem, ya na ọtụtụ ndị ozi nʼebe ha bara ụba, ndị so ya, tinyere ọtụtụ ịnyịnya kamel ndị bu ụda dị iche iche, ọtụtụ ọlaedo na nkume dị oke ọnụahịa dị iche iche. Ọ bịakwutere Solomọn, ya na ya kparịtara ụka banyere ihe niile nke dị ya nʼobi.
And entering into Jerusalem with a great train, and riches, and camels that carried spices, and an immense quantity of gold, and precious stones, she came to king Solomon, and spoke to him all that she had in her heart.
3 Solomọn zara ya ajụjụ ya niile; ọ dịkwaghị ihe siiri eze ike ịkọwara ya.
And Solomon informed her of all the things she proposed to him: there was not any word the king was ignorant of, and which he could not answer her.
4 Mgbe eze nwanyị Sheba hụrụ amamihe niile nke Solomọn, hụkwa ụlọeze o wuru,
And when the queen of Saba saw all the wisdom of Solomon, and the house which he had built,
5 na ihe oriri a na-adọkwasị nʼelu tebul ya, usoro ọnọdụ nke ndịisi ọchịchị ya, na ndị guzo na-ejere ya ozi nʼuwe ha yi, onye na-ebu iko ihe ọṅụṅụ ya, na aja nsure ọkụ niile ọ na-achụ nʼụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị, ọ dịkwaghị ihe ọzọ ọ maara ọ ga-eme, maọbụ kwuo.
And the meat of his table, and the apartments of his servants, and the order of his ministers, and their apparel, and the cupbearers, and the holocausts, which he offered in the house of the Lord: she had no longer any spirit in her,
6 Ọ sịrị eze, “Akụkọ niile m nọ nʼala m nụ banyere ihe niile ị rụpụtara na amamihe gị bụ eziokwu.
And she said to the king: The report is true, which I heard in my own country,
7 Ma ekwenyeghị m akụkọ ndị a tutu ruo mgbe m bịara jiri anya m abụọ hụ ha. Nʼezie, ihe m nụrụ erughị ọkara; nʼamamihe nakwa nʼịba ụba gị, ị tụkwasịla ihe nʼakụkọ m nụrụ.
Concerning thy words, and concerning thy wisdom. And I did not believe them that told me, till I came myself, and saw with my own eyes, and have found that the half hath not been told me: thy wisdom and thy works, exceed the fame which I heard.
8 Lee, ụdị ọṅụ ndị gị na-enwe. Lee, ụdị ọṅụ nke ndị ozi na-enwe, bụ ndị na-eguzo nʼihu gị mgbe niile na-anụ okwu amamihe gị.
Blessed are thy men, and blessed are thy servants, who stand before thee always, and hear thy wisdom.
9 Ngọzị dịrị Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị, onye nwere mmasị nʼebe ị nọ, o debere gị nʼocheeze Izrel. Nʼihi ịhụnanya nke Onyenwe anyị na-adị ruo mgbe ebighị ebi nʼebe Izrel nọ, o meele gị eze, ka ị debe ikpe ziri ezi na ezi omume.”
Blessed be the Lord thy God, whom thou hast pleased, and who hath set thee upon the throne of Israel, because the Lord hath loved Israel for ever, and hath appointed thee king, to do judgment and justice.
10 O nyere Solomọn onyinye ọlaedo ịdị arọ ya dị puku kilogram anọ, nyekwa ya ọtụtụ ụda na-esi isi ụtọ dị iche iche, na ọtụtụ nkume dị oke ọnụahịa. O nwebeghị oge ọzọ ewebatara ọtụtụ ụda na-esi isi ụtọ dịka ndị ahụ eze nwanyị Sheba nyere eze Solomọn.
And she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices a very great store, and precious stones: there was brought no more such abundance of spices as these which the queen of Saba gave to king Solomon.
11 (Ọzọkwa, ọtụtụ ụgbọ mmiri nke eze Hiram bubatara ọlaedo site nʼỌfịa bulatara Solomọn. Ha sitekwara nʼebe ahụ bute osisi almụg nʼebe ọ bara ụba, na ọtụtụ nkume dị oke ọnụahịa dị iche iche.
(The navy also of Hiram, which brought gold from Ophir, brought from Ophir great plenty of thyine trees, and precious stones.
12 Eze ji osisi almụg ndị a wuo ogidi ndabere dị nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị na nke ụlọeze. O jikwa ya meere ndị na-abụ abụ ụbọ akwara na une. Ọ dịbeghị mgbe ọbụla ahụrụ maọbụ tụbata osisi almụg ha otu a site nʼụbọchị ahụ ruo taa.)
And the king made of the thyine trees the rails of the house of the Lord, and of the king’s house, and citterns and harps for singers: there were no such thyine trees as these brought, nor seen unto this day.)
13 Eze Solomọn nyekwara eze nwanyị Sheba ihe niile ọ chọrọ na ihe niile bụ nke ọ rịọrọ, na-agụnyeghị onyinye niile Solomọn nyere ya dịka eze ọ bụ. Emesịa, ọ hapụrụ laghachi nʼala nke aka ya, ya na ndị na-ejere ya ozi.
And king Solomon gave the queen of Saba all that she desired, and asked of him: besides what he offered he himself of his royal bounty. And she returned, and went to her own country with her servants.
14 Ọtụtụ ịdị arọ nke ọlaedo Solomọn na-enweta kwa afọ bụ puku kilogram iri abụọ na atọ,
And the weight of the gold that was brought to Solomon every year, was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold:
15 na-agụnyeghị uru nke na-esi nʼaka ndị na-atụ mgbereahịa na ndị na-azụ ahịa na nke sitekwara nʼaka ndị eze Arebịa niile, nakwa nʼaka ndịisi na-achị obodo niile nke ala ahụ.
Besides that which the men brought him that were over the tributes, and the merchants, and they that sold by retail, and all the kings of Arabia, and the governors of the country.
16 Eze Solomọn kpụrụ narị ọta ọlaedo ukwu abụọ site nʼọlaedo etipịara etipịa. Ọ bụ ọlaedo nke ịdị arọ ya ruru kilogram isii na ụma itoolu ka eji kpụọ ọta ọbụla.
And Solomon made two hundred shields of the purest gold: he allowed six hundred sides of gold for the plates of one shield.
17 Ọ kpụkwara narị ọta nta atọ, nke sitere na ọlaedo etipịara etipịa. Ọ bụ ọlaedo ịdị arọ ya ruru kilogram atọ na ọkara ka eji kpụọ ọta ọbụla. Eze debere ha nʼụlọeze nʼOke Ọhịa Lebanọn.
And three hundred targets of fine gold: three hundred pounds of gold covered one target: and the king put them in the house of the forest of Libanus.
18 Eze mekwara ocheeze dị ukwu nke e ji ọdụ enyi na ọlaedo a nụchara anụcha machie.
King Solomon also made a great throne of ivory: and overlaid it with the finest gold.
19 Ocheeze ahụ nwere ihe nrigo isii, o nwere elu dị gburugburu nʼazụ ya. E nwere ebe ntụkwasị aka nʼakụkụ abụọ ya, nke nwere oyiyi ọdụm abụọ guzo nʼakụkụ nke ọbụla nʼime ha.
It had six steps: and the top of the throne was round behind: and there were two hands on either side holding the seat: and two lions stood, one at each hand.
20 Ọdụm iri na abụọ na-eguzo nʼelu ihe nrigo isii ahụ, otu nʼakụkụ isi abụọ nke ihe nrigo ọbụla. Ọ dịkwaghị alaeze ọzọ dị nke e mere ihe dị otu a nye.
And twelve little lions stood upon the six steps on the one side and on the other: there was no such work made in any kingdom.
21 Ihe niile Solomọn nwere nke e ji aṅụ ihe bụ ọlaedo ka e ji mee ha. Ngwongwo niile nke dị nʼime ụlọeze nʼOke Ọhịa Lebanọn bụkwa ọlaedo a nụchara anụcha ka e ji kpụọ ha. Ọ dịghị ihe e ji ọlaọcha kpụọ, nʼihi na-agụnyeghị ọlaọcha dịka ihe ọbụla nʼoge Solomọn.
Moreover all the vessels, out of which king Solomon drank, were of gold: and all the furniture of the house of the forest of Libanus was of most pure gold: there was no silver, nor was any account made of it in the days of Solomon:
22 Eze nwere ọtụtụ ụgbọ mmiri e ji azụ ahịa nʼoke osimiri, tinyere ụgbọ nke Hiram. Otu ugbo nʼafọ atọ, ka ụgbọ mmiri ndị a na-alọta, buru ọlaedo, ọlaọcha na ọdụ enyi, enwe na adaka dị iche iche bata.
For the king’s navy, once in three years, went with the navy of Hiram by sea to Tharsis, and brought from thence gold, and silver, and elephants’ teeth, and apes, and peacocks.
23 Eze Solomọn bara ụba nʼakụ, nwekwa amamihe karịa ndị eze niile dị nʼụwa.
And king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth in riches, and wisdom.
24 Ụwa niile na-abịa ịchọ ihu Solomọn ka ha nụta okwu amamihe nke Chineke tinyere nʼobi ya.
And all the earth desired to see Solomon’s face, to hear his wisdom, which God had given in his heart.
25 Onye ọbụla bịakwutere ya na-ebutere ya onyinye ịnata ihuọma, ya bụ ngwa ọlaọcha na ọlaedo, uwe dị iche iche, ngwa agha, ụda dị iche iche, ịnyịnya na ịnyịnya muul, nke a bụ kwa afọ, kwa afọ.
And every one brought him presents, vessels of silver and of gold, garments and armour, and spices, and horses and mules every year.
26 Solomọn chịkọbara ọtụtụ ụgbọ agha na ịnyịnya dị iche iche. O nwere ụgbọ agha dị otu puku na narị anọ na ịnyịnya agha dị puku iri na abụọ nʼọnụọgụgụ, ndị o debere ụfọdụ nʼime ha nʼobodo ụgbọ agha ya ma ndị ọzọ dị na Jerusalem ebe ya onwe ya nọ.
And Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen, and he had a thousand four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horseman: and he bestowed them in fenced cities, and with the king in Jerusalem.
27 Eze mere ka ọlaọcha baa ụba dịka nkume efu na Jerusalem. O mekwara ka osisi sida dị ọtụtụ dịka osisi sikamọ nke dị nʼala ala ugwu dị iche iche.
And he made silver to be as plentiful in Jerusalem as stones: and cedars to be as common as sycamores which grow in the plains.
28 A na-esite nʼIjipt nakwa ala Kue atụbatara Solomọn ịnyịnya. Ndị ahịa eze na-azụta ha site na Kue nʼọnụ ahịa a na-ere ha nʼoge ahụ.
And horses were brought for Solomon out of Egypt, and Coa: for the king’s merchants brought them out of Coa, and bought them at a set price.
29 Ha sitere nʼIjipt tụbata otu ụgbọ agha nʼọnụ ahịa narị shekel ọlaọcha isii, jirikwa otu narị shekel na iri shekel ise zụta otu ịnyịnya. Ha zipụkwara ha nye ndị eze niile nke ndị Het na ndị Aram.
And a chariot of four horses came out of Egypt, for six hundred sides of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty. And after this manner did all the kings of the Hethites, and of Syria, sell horses.
