Luo Chronicle 9
1 Kasra lun acn Sheba el lohng ke pwengpeng lal Tokosra Solomon, na el som nu Jerusalem in srikal ke kutu mwe siyuk upa. El us mwet kulansap puspis welul, oayapa mwe akyu mongo ac wek saok ac gold pukanten fin camel natul, Ke eltal osun, kasra el siyuk ma nukewa ma el akola in siyuk sel,
Now when the queen of Sheba heard about the fame of Solomon, she came to test him with difficult questions. She arrived in Jerusalem with a very large caravan—with camels bearing spices, gold in abundance, and precious stones. So she came to Solomon and spoke with him about all that was on her mind.
2 ac Tokosra Solomon el topokla nufon. Wanginna ma upa nu sel in aketeya.
And Solomon answered all her questions; nothing was too difficult for him to explain.
3 Kasra lun acn Sheba el lohng lalmwetmet lal Solomon, ac liye lohm sin tokosra el musaela.
When the queen of Sheba saw the wisdom of Solomon, the palace he had built,
4 El liye pac mongo ma akoeyuk ke tepu lal, ac nien muta lun mwet pwapa lal, ac ouiyen oakwuk lal nu sin mwet orekma lal ac naweyuk lalos, ac nuknuk lun mwet kulansap lal ke pacl in mongo, oayapa mwe kisa su el kisakin in Tempul, ac el arulana fwefela ke el liye ma inge.
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.
5 El fahk nu sel Tokosra, “Ma nga lohng keim ac ke lalmwetmet lom uh in facl sik ah, pwaye nufon!
She said to the king, “The report I heard in my own country about your words and wisdom is true.
6 Nga tuh tiana lulalfongi nwe ke nga tuku ac sifacna liye. Ma nga lohng uh tiana sun tafun lalmwetmet lom. Kom lalmwetmet yohk liki na ma mwet uh srumun uh.
But I did not believe the reports until I came and saw with my own eyes. Indeed, not half of the greatness of your wisdom was told to me. You have far exceeded the report I heard.
7 Seyal wo nu sin mwet kulansap lom su muta yurum in pacl nukewa ac insewowo in lohng kas lalmwetmet lom.
How blessed are your men! How blessed are these servants of yours who stand continually before you and hear your wisdom!
8 Kaksakin LEUM GOD lom! El akkalemye lupan insewowo lal keim ke El oru tuh kom in tokosra ac leum fin mwet uh Inel. Ke sripen El lungse mwet Israel mwet lal, ac kena liyalosyang nwe tok, El oru tuh kom in tokosra faclos, tuh kom in karingin ma sap ac nununku suwohs.”
Blessed be the LORD your God, who has delighted in you to set you on His throne to be king for the LORD your God. Because your God loved Israel enough to establish them forever, He has made you king over them to carry out justice and righteousness.”
9 Kasra el sang mwe sang nukewa ma el use nu sel Tokosra Solomon: apkuran in singoul tausin paun ke gold, ac oasr lupa na yohk ke mwe akyuye mongo ac wek saok. Soenna oasr mwe akyuye mongo su wo liki ma Kasra lun acn Sheba el sang nu sel Tokosra Solomon inge.
Then she gave the king 120 talents of gold, a great quantity of spices, and precious stones. There had never been such spices as those the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.
10 (Mwet lal Tokosra Hiram ac mwet lal Tokosra Solomon su use gold Ophir me, elos oayapa use sak juniper ac wek saok.
(The servants of Hiram and of Solomon who brought gold from Ophir also brought algum wood and precious stones.
11 Solomon el orekmakin sak inge nu ke nien fan nu ke Tempul, ac nu ke lohm sin tokosra, oayapa el sang in orek harp ac lyre nutin mwet on. Tufahna liyeyuk ma ouinge in acn Judah omeet me.)
The king made the algum 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 anything like them been seen in the land of Judah.)
12 Tokosra Solomon el sang nu sin Kasra lun acn Sheba ma nukewa ma el siyuk kac, ac el oayapa sang mwe lung nu sel in aol ma kasra sac sang lal. Na kasra ac mwet kulansap lal ah folokla nu in acn Sheba.
King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba all she desired—whatever she asked—far more than she had brought the king. Then she left and returned to her own country, along with her servants.
13 Lupan gold ma ituku nu yorol Tokosra Solomon ke yac nukewa alukela lumngaul tausin paun,
The weight of gold that came to Solomon each year was 666 talents,
14 weang pac tax ma mwet kuka ac mwet business moli nu sel. Tokosra nukewa lun mwet Arabia, ac governor lun acn nukewa Israel, elos wi pac sang silver ac gold nu sel.
not including the revenue from the merchants and traders. And all the Arabian kings and governors of the land also brought gold and silver to Solomon.
15 Solomon el orala mwe loang lulap luofoko, ac kais sie mosrweyukla ke paun singoul limekosr ke gold tuktuki.
King Solomon made two hundred large shields of hammered gold; six hundred shekels of hammered gold went into each shield.
16 El orala pac tolfoko mwe loang srik kutu, ac kais sie mosrweyukla ke paun oalkosr ke gold tuktuki. El sap in likiyuki ma inge nukewa in fukil lulap se pangpang Insak Lebanon.
He also made three hundred small shields of hammered gold; three hundred shekels of gold went into each shield. And the king put them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon.
17 Tokosra el oayapa sap in orekla sie tron na lulap. Sie ip kac yunla ke ivory, ac acn saya kac yunla ke gold nasnas.
Additionally, the king made a great throne of ivory and overlaid it with pure gold.
18 Step onkosr orekla nu ke tron sac, ac oasr mwe loang nia se oan kac akmusraiyukla ke gold. Oasr pac mwe loang pao sisken tron sac, ac lion tafleyukla lukwa tu we, soko lac ac ma soko lac.
The throne had six steps, and a footstool of gold was attached to it. There were armrests on both sides of the seat, with a lion standing beside each armrest.
19 Lion singoul lukwa tafleyukla, kais lukwa ke kais sie step, soko lac ac soko lac. Wangin sie tron nu orekla ouinge omeet me ke kutena tokosrai.
Twelve lions stood on the six steps, one at either end of each step. Nothing like this had ever been made for any kingdom.
20 Cup in nimnim nukewa lal Tokosra Solomon orekla ke gold, ac ahlu nukewa in fukil se pangpang Insak Lebanon, orekla ke gold nasnas. In pacl lal Solomon, silver uh tiana oaoa mu ma saok se.
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.
21 Oasr un oak lulap okwal Solomon, wi pac un oak okwal Tokosra Hiram kalkal meoa. Ke yac tolu nukewa oak inge ac foloko ac utuk gold, silver, ivory, sako, ac won peacock.
For the king had the ships of Tarshish that went with Hiram’s servants, and once every three years the ships of Tarshish would arrive bearing gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks.
22 Tokosra Solomon el kasrup ac lalmwetmet yohk liki tokosra nukewa fin faclu.
So King Solomon surpassed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.
23 Elos nukewa sokol in lohng lalmwetmet ma God El sang nu sel.
All the kings of the earth sought an audience with Solomon to hear the wisdom that God had put in his heart.
24 Kais sie selos use mwe lung nu sel Solomon ma orekla ke silver ac gold, oayapa nuknuk loeloes, kufwen mweun, mwe akyu mongo, horse ac miul. Elos oru ouinge ke yac nu ke yac.
Year after year, each visitor would bring his tribute: articles of silver and gold, clothing, weapons, spices, horses, and mules.
25 Tokosra Solomon el oayapa orala akosr tausin fukil lun chariot ac horse natul, ac oasr pac singoul luo tausin horse in mweun. Kutu mutana Jerusalem, ac ma saya el kitalik in muta ke kutu pac siti saya.
Solomon had 4,000 stalls for horses and chariots, and 12,000 horses, which he stationed in the chariot cities and also with him in Jerusalem.
26 El pa leum fulat lun tokosra nukewa, mutawauk ke Infacl Euphrates nwe acn Philistia ac masrol nu Egypt.
He reigned over all the kings from the Euphrates to the land of the Philistines, as far as the border of Egypt.
27 In we lal Solomon, silver uh ma pilasr oana eot uh in acn Jerusalem, ac sak cedar uh pukanten oana sak sycamore fin tohktok in acn Judah.
The king made silver as common in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar as abundant as sycamore in the foothills.
28 Solomon el ituk horse Egypt me, ac oayapa ke facl nukewa saya.
Solomon’s horses were imported from Egypt and from all the lands.
29 Ma saya ke sramsram matu kacl Solomon, ke mutawauk nu ke safla, simla ke [Book in Sramsram Matu lal Nathan Mwet Palu], ac oayapa ke [Kas in Palu lal Ahijah Mwet Shiloh, ] ac ke [Aruruma lal Iddo Mwet Palu], su oayapa fahkak ke pacl in leum lal Tokosra Jeroboam lun Israel.
As for the rest of the acts of Solomon, from beginning to end, are they not written in the Records of Nathan the Prophet, in the Prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the Visions of Iddo the Seer concerning Jeroboam son of Nebat?
30 Solomon el muta Jerusalem ac leum fin acn Israel nukewa ke yac angngaul.
Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years.
31 El misa ac pukpuki in Siti sel David, ac Rehoboam, wen natul, el aolulla in tokosra.
And Solomon rested with his fathers and was buried in the city of his father David. And his son Rehoboam reigned in his place.
