1 Bakonzi 10
1 Tango mwasi mokonzi ya Saba ayokaki sango ya lokumu oyo Kombo ya Yawe epesaki Salomo, ayaki mpo na komeka ye na nzela ya mituna ya makasi;
And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of Jehovah, she came to prove him with hard questions.
2 ayaki na Yelusalemi elongo na bato ebele mpe bashamo oyo ememaki biloko ya mike-mike oyo epesaka solo kitoko, wolo ebele mpe mabanga ya talo. Tango akomaki epai ya Salomo, ayebisaki ye nyonso oyo azalaki na yango kati na motema.
And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels that bare spices, and very much gold, and precious stones; and when she was come to Solomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart.
3 Salomo apesaki ye biyano na mituna na ye nyonso, ezalaki ata na motuna moko te oyo mokonzi alongaki te kopesa eyano.
And Solomon told her all her questions: there was not anything hid from the king which he told her not.
4 Tango mwasi mokonzi ya Saba amonaki bwanya nyonso ya Salomo, ndako oyo atongaki,
And when the queen of Sheba had seen all the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had built,
5 bilei oyo azalaki kolia na mesa na ye, ndako ya basali na ye, esaleli mpe elateli ya basali na ye, basali oyo bapesaka ye masanga mpe bambeka ya kotumba oyo azalaki kobonza kati na Tempelo ya Yawe, mwasi mokonzi ya Saba akamwaki makasi
and the food of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel, and his cupbearers, and his ascent by which he went up unto the house of Jehovah; there was no more spirit in her.
6 mpe alobaki na mokonzi: « Makambo oyo nayokaki wuta na mokili na ngai na tina na misala na yo mpe na bwanya na yo ezali ya solo.
And she said to the king, It was a true report that I heard in mine own land of thine acts, and of thy wisdom.
7 Nandimaki te makambo oyo bazalaki koloba na tina na yango kino tango ngai moko nayei mpe namoni yango na miso na ngai moko. Nzokande, kolanda oyo ngai namoni, makambo oyo bayebisaki ngai te na tina na bwanya yango ezali penza kati-kati! Solo, bwanya mpe bozwi na yo eleki sango ya lokumu oyo nayokaki na tina na yo.
Howbeit I believed not the words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it: and, behold, the half was not told me; thy wisdom and prosperity exceed the fame which I heard.
8 Esengo na bato na yo, esengo na basali na yo, ba-oyo batelemaka tango nyonso liboso na yo mpe bayokaka maloba na yo, oyo etonda na bwanya!
Happy are thy men, happy are these thy servants, that stand continually before thee, [and] that hear thy wisdom.
9 Tika ete Yawe, Nzambe na yo, apambolama; Ye oyo asepelaki na yo mpe atiaki yo na kiti ya bokonzi ya Isalaele! Ezali mpo ete Nzambe na yo alingaka Isalaele mpo na libela nde atiaki yo lokola mokonzi mpo ete osala na bosolo mpe na bosembo. »
Blessed be Jehovah thy God, who delighted in thee, to set thee on the throne of Israel: because Jehovah loved Israel for ever, therefore made he thee king, to do justice and righteousness.
10 Mwasi mokonzi ya Saba apesaki mokonzi Salomo bakilo nkoto misato na nkama mitano ya wolo, biloko ebele penza ya solo kitoko mpe mabanga ya talo. Batikala lisusu te komema biloko ebele ya solo kitoko lokola oyo mwasi mokonzi ya Saba amemelaki mokonzi Salomo.
And she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices very great store, and precious stones: there came no more such abundance of spices as these which the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.
11 Masuwa ya Irami oyo ememaki wolo wuta na Ofiri ememaki mpe mabaya ebele ya santale mpe mabanga ya talo.
And the navy also of Hiram, that brought gold from Ophir, brought in from Ophir great plenty of almug-trees and precious stones.
12 Mokonzi asalaki na mabaya wana ya santale makonzi ya Tempelo ya Yawe mpe ya ndako ya mokonzi; asalaki na yango mpe mandanda mpe makembe. Mabaya ya santale etikala lisusu koya te, mpe batikala lisusu komona yango te kino na mokolo ya lelo.
And the king made of the almug-trees pillars for the house of Jehovah, and for the king’s house, harps also and psalteries for the singers: there came no such almug-trees, nor were seen, unto this day.
13 Na ngambo na ye, mokonzi Salomo mpe apesaki na mwasi mokonzi ya Saba biloko nyonso oyo azalaki na yango posa mpe oyo asengaki; apesaki ye lisusu bakado oyo kaka mokonzi lokola Salomo akokaki kopesa. Sima na yango, mwasi mokonzi ya Saba azongaki elongo na basali na ye, na mokili na ye.
And king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatsoever she asked, besides that which Solomon gave her of his royal bounty. So she turned, and went to her own land, she and her servants.
14 Mobu na mobu, Salomo azalaki kozwa bakilo ya wolo nkoto tuku mibale,
Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred threescore and six talents of gold,
15 mbongo ya mpako ya bato ya mombongo oyo bazalaki koteka biloko oyo bazalaki kosomba na bamboka ya bapaya, mbongo ya mpako ya bateki biloko ya ndenge na ndenge, mbongo ya mpako oyo bakonzi nyonso ya Arabi bazalaki kofuta, mpe oyo bayangeli ya bituka bazalaki kokongola kati na mokili ya Isalaele.
besides [that which] the traders [brought], and the traffic of the merchants, and of all the kings of the mingled people, and of the governors of the country.
16 Mokonzi Salomo asalisaki na wolo batuta banguba minene nkama mibale: nguba moko na moko esengaki bakilo motoba ya wolo.
And king Solomon made two hundred bucklers of beaten gold; six hundred [shekels] of gold went to one buckler.
17 Asalisaki lisusu na wolo batuta banguba mike nkama misato: nguba moko na moko ya moke esengaki kilo moko na bagrame nkama mitano ya wolo. Mokonzi atiaki yango kati na ndako na ye, oyo bazalaki kobenga « ndako ya zamba ya Libani. »
And [he made] three hundred shields of beaten gold; three pounds of gold went to one shield: and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
18 Mokonzi asalaki na pembe ya nzoko kiti moko monene ya bokonzi mpe abambaki yango wolo ya peto.
Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with the finest gold.
19 Kiti yango ya bokonzi ezalaki na ematelo ya binyatelo motoba mpe songe ya mokongo na yango ezalaki lokola libungutulu. Na bangambo nyonso mibale, ezalaki na bisika ya kotia maboko mpe bikeko mibale ya nkosi na pembeni ya bisika ya kotia maboko.
There were six steps to the throne, and the top of the throne was round behind; and there were stays on either side by the place of the seat, and two lions standing beside the stays.
20 Bikeko zomi na mibale ya nkosi ezalaki na likolo ya binyatelo motoba ya ematelo: enyatelo moko na moko ezalaki na bikeko mibale, ekeko moko na ngambo moko na moko. Kati na mikili nyonso, eloko ya ndenge wana etikala nanu kosalema te.
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.
21 Bakopo nyonso ya mokonzi Salomo ezalaki ya wolo ya peto, mpe biloko nyonso ya ndako ya Zamba ya Libani ezalaki ya wolo ya peto. Eloko moko te ezalaki ya palata, pamba te, na tango oyo Salomo azalaki mokonzi, palata ezalaki na motuya ata te.
And all king Solomon’s drinking vessels 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 nothing accounted of in the days of Solomon.
22 Mpe mokonzi azalaki na bamasuwa oyo ezalaki kosala mombongo na ebale monene elongo na bamasuwa ya Irami. Sima na mibu nyonso misato, bamasuwa ezalaki kozonga longwa na Tarsisi mpe ezalaki komema wolo, palata, pembe ya nzoko, bamakaku mpe bandeke oyo babengaka « paoni. »
For the king had at sea a navy of Tarshish with the navy of Hiram: once every three years came the navy of Tarshish, bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
23 Mokonzi Salomo alekaki bakonzi nyonso ya mokili na bozwi mpe na bwanya.
So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth in riches and in wisdom.
24 Mokili mobimba ezalaki koluka kokutana na Salomo mpo na koyoka bwanya oyo Nzambe atiaki kati na motema na ye.
And all the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
25 Kati na bato oyo bazalaki kokende kotala Salomo, moko na moko azalaki komemela ye lokola kado: biloko ya palata, biloko ya wolo, bilamba, bibundeli, biloko ya mike-mike ya solo kitoko, bampunda mpe bamile. Mpe ezalaki bongo mibu nyonso.
And they brought every man his tribute, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and raiment, and armor, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year.
26 Salomo asangisaki bashar mpe basoda oyo batambolaka likolo ya bampunda: azalaki na bashar nkoto moko na nkama minei, mpe basoda oyo batambolaka likolo ya bampunda, nkoto zomi na mibale. Abombaki bango kati na bingumba epai wapi babombaka bashar, mpe na Yelusalemi epai wapi mokonzi azalaki kovanda.
And Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, that he bestowed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
27 Mokonzi asalaki ete palata ekoma ebele na Yelusalemi lokola mabanga, mpe banzete ya sedele ekoma ebele lokola banzete ya sikomori oyo ezali kati na mokili ya lubwaku.
And the king made silver to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he to be as the sycomore-trees that are in the lowland, for abundance.
28 Bampunda ya Salomo ezalaki kowuta na Ejipito mpe na engumba Kue. Bato ya mombongo ya mokonzi nde bazalaki kosomba yango kuna na engumba Kue.
And the horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt; and the king’s merchants received them in droves, each drove at a price.
29 Bazalaki kosomba na Ejipito shar moko na motuya ya mbongo ya bibende ya palata, nkama motoba, mpe mpunda moko na motuya ya mbongo ya bibende, nkama moko na tuku mitano; bazalaki mpe kosomba yango mpo na bakonzi nyonso ya bato ya Iti mpe ya Siri.
And a chariot came up and went out of Egypt for six hundred [shekels] of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty; and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, did they bring them out by their means.
