2 Ihe E Mere 9
1 Mgbe eze nwanyị Sheba nụrụ akụkọ Solomọn, ọ bịara Jerusalem ka o were ọtụtụ ajụjụ siri ike nwalee ya. O du ọtụtụ ndị ozi bara ụba bịa, tinyere ọtụtụ ịnyịnya kamel ndị bu ụda dị iche iche, ọtụtụ ọlaedo na ọtụtụ nkume dị oke ọnụahịa dị iche iche. Ọ bịakwutere Solomọn, ya na ya kparịtara ụka banyere ihe niile nke dị ya nʼobi.
AND when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to prove Solomon with hard questions at Jerusalem, with a very great company, and camels that bare spices, and gold in abundance, and precious stones: and when she was come to Solomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart.
2 Solomọn zara ya ajụjụ ya niile. Ọ dịkwaghị ihe siiri ya ike ịkọwara ya.
And Solomon told her all her questions: and there was nothing hid from Solomon which he told her not.
3 Mgbe eze nwanyị Sheba hụrụ amamihe Solomọn, ma hụkwa ụlọeze o wuru,
And when the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had built,
4 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, ndị na-ebu iko ihe ọṅụṅụ nʼuwe ha, 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 sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel; his cupbearers also, and their apparel; and his ascent by which he went up into the house of the Lord; there was no more spirit in her.
5 Ọ sịrị eze, “Akụkọ niile m nọ nʼala nụ banyere ihe niile ị rụpụtara na amamihe gị bụ eziokwu.
And she said to the king, It was a true report which I heard in mine own land of thine acts, and of thy wisdom:
6 Ma ekwenyeghị m ihe ha kwuru tutu ruo mgbe m bịara jiri anya m abụọ hụ ha. Nʼezie, ihe m nụrụ erughị ọkara nke ịdị ukwuu amamihe gị. Ị tụkwasịla ihe nʼakụkọ m nụrụ.
Howbeit I believed not their words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it: and, behold, the one half of the greatness of thy wisdom was not told me: for thou exceedest the fame that I heard.
7 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.
Happy are thy men, and happy are these thy servants, which stand continually before thee, and hear thy wisdom.
8 Ngọzị dịrị Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị, onye nwere mmasị nʼebe ị nọ. O debere gị nʼocheeze ya dịka eze ịchị nʼaha Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke gị. Nʼihi ịhụnanya nke Chineke gị nwere nʼebe Izrel nọ, na mmasị ya ime ka ha guzosie ike ruo mgbe ebighị ebi. O meela gị eze ha, ka ị debe ikpe ziri ezi na ezi omume.”
Blessed be the Lord thy God, which delighted in thee to set thee on his throne, to be king for the Lord thy God: because thy God loved Israel, to establish them for ever, therefore made he thee king over them, to do judgment and justice.
9 Emesịa, O nyere Solomọn onyinye ọlaedo ịdị arọ ya dị puku kilogram anọ, nyekwa ya ụda dị iche iche, na nkume oke ọnụahịa dị iche iche. Enwebeghị ụdị ụda dịka ndị ahụ eze nwanyị Sheba nyere eze Solomọn.
And she gave the king an hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices great abundance, and precious stones: neither was there any such spice as the queen of Sheba gave king Solomon.
10 Ndị ohu Hiram na ndị ohu Solomọn bubatara ọlaedo site nʼỌfịa. Ha butekwara osisi algụm, na nkume dị oke ọnụahịa dị iche iche.
And the servants also of Huram, and the servants of Solomon, which brought gold from Ophir, brought algum trees and precious stones.
11 Eze ji osisi algụm ndị ahụ mee nkwasa nrigo nʼụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị, na nke ụlọeze. O jikwa ya meere ndị na-abụ abụ ụbọ akwara na une. O nwebeghị oge ọzọ e nwere ụdị ngwa egwu e ji osisi ọma dị otu a kwaa nʼala Juda niile.
And the king made of the algum trees terraces to the house of the Lord, and to the king’s palace, and harps and psalteries for singers: and there were none such seen before in the land of Judah.
12 Eze Solomọn nyekwara eze nwanyị Sheba ihe niile ọ chọrọ na ihe niile bụ nke ọ rịọrọ. O nyere ya karịa ihe niile o wetaara ya. Emesịa, ọ hapụrụ laghachi nʼala nke aka ya, ya na ndị na-ejere ya ozi.
And king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatsoever she asked, beside that which she had brought unto the king. So she turned, and went away to her own land, she and her servants.
13 Ọtụtụ ịdị arọ nke ọlaedo Solomọn na-enweta kwa afọ bụ puku kilogram iri abụọ na atọ,
Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and threescore and six talents of gold;
14 na-agụnyeghị uru nke na-esi nʼaka ndị na-atụ mgbereahịa na ndị na-azụ ahịa. Ọzọkwa, ndị eze niile nke dị Arebịa na ndịisi na-achị obodo niile nke ala ahụ, na-enwetara Solomọn ọlaọcha na ọlaedo.
Beside that which chapmen and merchants brought. And all the kings of Arabia and governors of the country brought gold and silver to Solomon.
15 Eze Solomọn kpụrụ narị ọta ọlaedo ukwu abụọ site nʼọlaedo etipịara etipịa. Ọ bụ ọlaedo ịdị arọ ya ruru kilogram isii ka e ji kpụọ ọta ọbụla.
And king Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold: six hundred shekels of beaten gold went to one target.
16 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 shields made he of beaten gold: three hundred shekels of gold went to one shield. And the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
17 Eze mekwara ocheeze dị ukwu nke e ji ọdụ enyi na ọlaedo a nụchara anụcha machie
Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold.
18 Ocheeze ahụ nwere ihe nrigo isii na ihe ịtụkwasị ụkwụ eji ọlaọcha rụọ nke ejikọtara nʼahụ ya. E nwere ebe ntụkwasị aka nʼakụkụ abụọ ya, nke nwere oyiyi ọdụm abụọ guzo nʼakụkụ nke ọbụla nʼime ha.
And there were six steps to the throne, with a footstool of gold, which were fastened to the throne, and stays on each side of the sitting place, and two lions standing by the stays:
19 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 lions stood there on the one side and on the other upon the six steps. There was not the like made in any kingdom.
20 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.
And all the drinking vessels of king Solomon 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 not any thing accounted of in the days of Solomon.
21 Eze nwere ọtụtụ ụgbọ mmiri e ji azụ ahịa nke ndị ohu Hiram na-elekọta. Otu ugbo nʼafọ atọ, ka ụgbọ ndị a na-alọta buru ọlaedo, ọlaọcha na ọdụ enyi, enwe na adaka dị iche iche bata.
For the king’s ships went to Tarshish with the servants of Huram: every three years once came the ships of Tarshish bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
22 Eze Solomọn bara ụba nʼakụ, nweekwa amamihe karịa ndị eze niile dị nʼụwa.
And king Solomon passed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.
23 Ndị eze niile nke ụwa na-achọ ihu Solomọn, ka ha nụta okwu amamihe nke Chineke tinyere nʼobi ya.
And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, that God had put in his heart.
24 Onye ọbụla bịakwutere ya na-ebutere ya onyinye ịnata ihuọma, ya bụ ngwa ọlaọcha na ọlaedo, na uwe dị iche iche, ngwa agha, ụda dị iche iche, ịnyịnya na ịnyịnya muul, nke a bụ kwa afọ, kwa afọ.
And they brought every man his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and raiment, harness, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year.
25 Solomọn nwere ụlọ anụmanụ dị puku anọ maka ịnyịnya na ụgbọ agha, nwekwa puku ịnyịnya iri na abụọ ndị o dobere nʼobodo ụgbọ agha dị iche iche, na nʼebe eze nọ na Jerusalem.
And Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen; whom he bestowed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
26 Ọ chịrị ndị eze niile site nʼosimiri Yufretis ruo nʼala ndị Filistia, rukwaa oke ala ndị Ijipt.
And he reigned over all the kings from the river even unto the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt.
27 Eze mere ka ọlaọcha baa ụba na Jerusalem, dịka nkume efu. O mekwara ka osisi sida dịka osisi sikamọ nke dị nʼala ala ugwu dị iche iche.
And the king made silver in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar trees made he as the sycomore trees that are in the low plains in abundance.
28 A na-esite nʼIjipt na nʼala ndị ọzọ dị iche iche atụbatara Solomọn ịnyịnya.
And they brought unto Solomon horses out of Egypt, and out of all lands.
29 Ma banyere Ihe ndị ọzọ mere nʼoge ọchịchị Solomọn, site na mmalite ruo nʼọgwụgwụ, ọ bụ na-edeghị ha nʼakwụkwọ Netan onye amụma, nʼime akwụkwọ amụma Ahija, onye Shilo, nakwa nʼọhụ Ido onye ọhụ ụzọ, banyere Jeroboam nwa Nebat?
Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last, are they not written in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Iddo the seer against Jeroboam the son of Nebat?
30 Solomọn chịrị Izrel niile iri afọ anọ na Jerusalem.
And Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years.
31 O sooro nna nna ya ha dina nʼọnwụ. E lie ya nʼobodo Devid bụ nna ya. Rehoboam nwa ya ghọkwara eze nʼọnọdụ ya.
And Solomon slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead.
