1 Ar-ari 10
1 Idi nadamag ti reyna ti Seba ti kinalatak ni Solomon maipanggep iti nagan ni Yahweh, napan isuna tapno subukenna isuna babaen kadagiti naririkut a saludsod.
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 Napan isuna idiay Jerusalem nga addaan iti adu a kakuyog a nagdaliasat, karaman dagiti kamelio a nagawit kadagiti bangbanglo, adu unay a balitok, ken adu a napapateg a batbato. Idi dimteng isuna, imbagana kenni Solomon dagiti amin nga adda iti pusona.
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 Sinungbatan amin ni Solomon dagiti saludsodna. Awan ti sinaludsodna a saan a sinungbatan ni Solomon.
And Solomon answered all her questions; nothing was too difficult for the king to explain.
4 Idi nakita ti reyna ti Seba ti amin a kinasirib ni Solomon, ti palasio nga impatakderna,
When the queen of Sheba saw all the wisdom of Solomon, the palace he had built,
5 ti taraon iti lamisaanna ken dagiti panagtugaw dagiti adipenna ken dagiti trabaho dagiti adipenna ken dagiti kawesda, kasta met ti taga-idasar ti kopana ken ti wagas a panangidatonna kadagiti daton a mapuoran idiay balay ni Yahweh, awanen ti bileg kenkuana.
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 Kinunana iti ari, “Pudno, ti damag a nangngegak iti bukodko a daga maipapan kadagiti saom ken kinasiribmo.
She said to the king, “The report I heard in my own country about your words and wisdom is true.
7 Saanko a pinati ti nangngegko agingga nga immayak ditoy, ket ita nakita daytoy dagiti matak. Saan a naibaga kaniak ti kagudua maipanggep iti kinasirib ken kinabaknangmo! Limmabeska iti kinalatak a nangngegak.
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 Anian a naggasat dagiti tattaom, ken anian a naggasat dagiti adipenmo a kankanayon nga agserserbi kenka, gapu ta mangngegda ti kinasiribmo.
How blessed are your men! How blessed are these servants of yours who stand continually before you and hear your wisdom!
9 Madaydayaw koma ni Yahweh a Diosmo, a maragsakan kenka, a nangisaad kenka iti trono ti Israel. Gapu ta ay-ayaten ni Yahweh ti Israel iti agnanayon, pinagbalinnaka nga ari, tapno agbalinka a nalinteg nga ukom ken aramidem ti nainkalintegan!”
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 Innikkanna ti ari iti 120 a talento ti balitok ken adu a bangbanglo ken napapateg a batbato. Awanen iti ad-adu pay a kas iti kaadu dagitoy a bangbanglo nga inted ti reyna ti Seba kenni Ari Solomon a naited manen kenkuana.
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 Dagiti adu a barko ni Hiram nga aglaylayag, a nangiyeg iti balitok manipud Ofir, ket nangiyeg met manipud Ofir iti adu a kayo nga almug ken napapateg a batbato.
(The fleet of Hiram that brought gold from Ophir also brought from Ophir a great cargo of almug wood and precious stones.
12 Nagaramid ti ari kadagiti adigi manipud iti kayo nga almug para iti templo ni Yahweh ken para iti palasio ti ari, ken dagiti arpa ken dagiti lira para kadagiti kumakanta. Awan iti kasta a kaadu iti kayo nga almug ti naipan wenno nakita manen agpapan ita nga aldaw.
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 Inted ni Ari Solomon iti reyna ti Saba ti amin a kinalikagumanna, aniaman a kiniddawna, malaksid pay kadagiti inted ni Solomon kenkuana manipud iti kinaparabur ti ari. Nagsubli ngarud isuna iti bukodna a daga a kaduana dagiti adipenna.
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 Ita, ti kadagsen ti balitok a simmangpet kenni Solomon iti makatawen ket 666 a talento dagiti balitok,
The weight of gold that came to Solomon each year was 666 talents,
15 malaksid ti balitok nga inyeg dagiti agisuksukat ken agtagtagilako. Nangiyeg met dagiti amin nga ari ti Arabia ken dagiti gobernador iti pagilian iti balitok ken pirak kenni Solomon.
not including the revenue from the merchants, traders, and all the Arabian kings and governors of the land.
16 Nangaramid ni Ari Solomon iti dua gasut a dadakkel a kalasag a napitpit a balitok. Innem a gasut a siklo ti balitok ti naaramat iti tunggal maysa.
King Solomon made two hundred large shields of hammered gold; six hundred shekels of gold went into each shield.
17 Nangaramid pay isuna iti tallo gasut a kalasag a napitpit a balitok. Tallo a libra ti balitok ti naaramat iti tunggal kalasag; inkabil dagitoy ti ari idiay Palasio iti Bakir ti Lebanon.
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 Ket nangaramid ti ari iti maysa a dakkel a trono a marfil ket kinalupkopanna daytoy iti kasasayaatan a balitok.
Additionally, the king made a great throne of ivory and overlaid it with pure gold.
19 Adda innem a tukad ti agdan nga agturong iti trono, ket nagbukel ti tuktok ti likudan daytoy. Adda pagparabawan kadagiti ima iti tunggal sikigan ti pagtugawan, ken dua a sinan-leon a nakatakder iti abay dagiti pagparabawan kadagiti ima.
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 Sangapulo ket dua a sinan-leon ti nakatakder kadagiti tukad, maysa iti tunggal igid ti tunggal maysa kadagiti innem a tukad. Awan iti kas iti daytoy a trono iti uray sadinoman a pagarian.
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 Balitok amin dagiti paginuman a kopa ni Ari Solomon, ken puro a balitok amin dagiti paginuman a kopa idiay Palasio iti Kabakiran ti Lebanon. Awan ti pirak, gapu ta saan a maibilang a napateg ti pirak kadagiti al-aldaw ni Solomon.
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 Addaan ti ari kadagiti adu nga aglaylayag a barko iti baybay, a kakadua dagiti adu nga aglaylayag a barko ni Hiram. Maminsan iti tallo a tawen a mangisangpet iti balitok, pirak, ken marfil, kasta met kadagiti sunggo ken kadagiti bakes dagiti adu nga aglaylayag a barko.
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 Isu a naartapan ni Ari Solomon dagiti amin nga ari iti lubong iti kinabaknang ken iti kinasirib.
So King Solomon surpassed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.
24 Binirok dagiti amin a tattao iti daga ti presensia ni Solomon tapno denggenda ti kinasiribna, nga inkabil ti Dios iti pusona.
The whole world sought an audience with Solomon to hear the wisdom that God had put in his heart.
25 Nangiyeg dagiti simarungkar kadagiti sagut, al-alikamen a pirak ken balitok, ken kawkawes, kabal, ken kadagiti bangbanglo, kasta met kadagiti kabalio ken mulo, iti tinawen.
Year after year, each visitor would bring his tribute: articles of silver and gold, clothing, weapons, spices, horses, and mules.
26 Nagurnong ni Solomon kadagiti lugan a pakigubat ken lallaki a kumakabalio. Addaan isuna iti 1, 400 a lugan a pakigubat ken sangapiulo ket dua a ribu a kabalio nga inkabilna kadagiti siudad a pakaikabkabilan dagiti lugan a pakigubat ken agraman iti ayanna idiay Jerusalem.
Solomon accumulated 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horses, which he stationed in the chariot cities and also with him in Jerusalem.
27 Addaan ti ari iti pirak idiay Jerusalem, a kas kaadu dagiti bato iti daga. Pinaaduna iti kayo a sedro a kas iti kaadu dagiti kayo a sikomoro nga igos nga adda kadagiti nababa a daga.
The king made silver as common in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar as abundant as sycamore in the foothills.
28 Addaan ni Solomon kadagiti kabalio a nagatang manipud Egipto ken Cilicia. Arba-arban ti pananggatang dagitoy dagiti agtagtagilako ti ari, kada arban ti gatadna.
Solomon’s horses were imported from Egypt and Kue; the royal merchants purchased them from Kue.
29 Nagatang ti tunggal lugan a pakigubat manipud idiay Egipto iti innem a gasut a siklo ti pirak, ken dagiti kabalio ket 150 a siklo iti tunggal maysa. Ket adu kadagitoy ket nailako kadagiti amin nga ari dagiti Heteo ken ti Aram.
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.
