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 the queen of Sheba is hearing of the fame of Solomon concerning the Name of YHWH, and comes to try him with enigmas,
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 comes to Jerusalem, with a very great company, camels carrying spices, and very much gold, and precious stone, and she comes to Solomon, and speaks to him all that has been with 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 declares to her all her matters—there has not been a thing hid from the king that he has not declared to her.
4 Tango mwasi mokonzi ya Saba amonaki bwanya nyonso ya Salomo, ndako oyo atongaki,
And the queen of Sheba sees all the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he 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 standing of his ministers, and their clothing, and his butlers, and his burnt-offering that he causes to ascend in the house of YHWH, and there has not been anymore 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 says to the king, “The word that I heard in my land has been true concerning your matters and your 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.
and I gave no credence to the words until I have come, and my eyes see, and behold, not [even] half was declared to me; you have added wisdom and goodness to the report that 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!
O the blessedness of your men, O the blessedness of your servants—these—who are standing before you continually, who are hearing your 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. »
Your God YHWH is blessed, who delighted in you, to put you on the throne of Israel; in YHWH’s loving Israel for all time He sets you for king, to do judgment 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 gives to the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold, and very many spices, and precious stone; there never again came in abundance like that spice that 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 also, the navy of Hiram that bore gold from Ophir, brought in very much almug-trees and precious stone from Ophir;
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 makes the almug-trees a support for the house of YHWH, and for the house of the king, and harps and psalteries for singers; there have not come such almug-trees, nor have there been seen [such] to 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 that she asked, apart from that which he gave to her as a memorial of King Solomon, and she turns and goes to her land, she and her servants.
14 Mobu na mobu, Salomo azalaki kozwa bakilo ya wolo nkoto tuku mibale,
And the weight of the gold that has come to Solomon in one year is six hundred sixty-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.
apart from [that of] the tourists, and of the traffic of the merchants, and of all the kings of Arabia, and of the governors of the land.
16 Mokonzi Salomo asalisaki na wolo batuta banguba minene nkama mibale: nguba moko na moko esengaki bakilo motoba ya wolo.
And King Solomon makes two hundred bucklers of alloyed gold—six hundred [shekels] of gold go up on the 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 three hundred shields of alloyed gold—three pounds of gold go up on the one shield; and the king puts 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.
And the king makes a great throne of ivory, and overlays it with refined 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.
the throne has six steps, and a round top [is] to the throne behind it, and hands [are] on this [side] and on that, to the place of the sitting, and two lions are standing near the hands,
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 are standing there on the six steps, on this [side] and on that; it has not been made so for 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 the drinking vessels of King Solomon [are] of gold, and all the vessels of the House of the Forest of Lebanon [are] of refined gold—there are none of silver; it was not reckoned in the days of Solomon for anything,
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 has a navy of Tarshish at sea with a navy of Hiram; once in three years the navy of Tarshish comes, carrying gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks [[or monkeys]].
23 Mokonzi Salomo alekaki bakonzi nyonso ya mokili na bozwi mpe na bwanya.
And King Solomon is greater than any of the kings of the earth for riches and for 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 is seeking the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom that God has put into 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 are each bringing his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and armor, and spices, horses, and mules, the matter of a year in a 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 gathers chariots, and horsemen, and he has one thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, and he places them in the cities of the chariot, and with the king in 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 makes the silver in Jerusalem as stones, and he has made the cedars as the sycamores that [are] in the low country, 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 outgoing of the horses that King Solomon has [is] from Egypt, and from Keveh; merchants of the king take from Keveh 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 comes up and comes out of Egypt for six hundred pieces of silver, and a horse for one hundred and fifty, and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Aram; they bring out by their hand.
