2 Masolo ya Kala 9
1 Tango mwasi mokonzi ya Saba ayokaki sango ya lokumu ya Salomo, ayaki na Yelusalemi mpo na komeka ye na nzela ya mituna ya makasi; ayaki 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 when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to try Solomon with hard questions at Jerusalem, with a very great company, and camels that bore spices, and gold in abundance, and precious stones: and when she had come to Solomon, she talked with him of all that was in her heart.
2 Salomo apesaki ye biyano na mituna na ye nyonso; ezalaki ata na motuna moko te oyo Salomo alongaki te kopesa eyano.
And Solomon answered her all her questions: and there was nothing hid from Solomon which he told her not.
3 Tango mwasi mokonzi ya Saba amonaki bwanya ya Salomo, ndako oyo atongaki,
And when the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had built,
4 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; 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 Alobaki na mokonzi: « Makambo oyo nayokaki wuta na mokili na ngai na tina na misala mpe na bwanya na yo ezali ya solo!
And she said to the king, It was a true report which I heard in my own land of thy acts, and of thy wisdom:
6 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, oleki sango ya lokumu oyo nayokaki na tina na yo!
Yet I believed not their words, until I came, and my eyes had seen it: and, behold, the one half of the greatness of thy wisdom was not told to me: for thou exceedest the fame that I heard.
7 Esengo na bato na yo, esengo na basali na yo, oyo batelemaka tango nyonso liboso na yo mpe bayokaka maloba na yo, oyo etonda na bwanya!
Happy are thy men, and happy are these thy servants, who stand continually before thee, and hear thy wisdom.
8 Tika ete Yawe, Nzambe na yo, apambolama; Ye oyo asepelaki na yo mpe atiaki yo na kiti na Ye ya bokonzi lokola mokonzi mpo na kosalela Yawe, Nzambe na yo! Ezali mpo ete Nzambe na yo alingaka Isalaele mpe alingi ete ewumela mpo na libela nde atiaki yo lokola mokonzi na yango, mpo ete osala na bosolo mpe na bosembo. »
Blessed be the LORD thy God, who 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 he made thee king over them, to do judgment and justice.
9 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. Etikala lisusu kozala te na biloko ebele ya solo kitoko lokola biloko oyo mwasi mokonzi ya Saba amemelaki mokonzi Salomo.
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 to king Solomon.
10 Lisusu, basali ya Irami mpe ya Salomo, oyo bamemaki wolo wuta na Ofiri bamemaki mpe mabaya ya santale mpe mabanga ya talo.
And the servants also of Huram, and the servants of Solomon, who brought gold from Ophir, brought algum trees and precious stones.
11 Mokonzi asalaki na mabaya wana ya santale makonzi ya Tempelo ya Yawe mpe ya ndako ya mokonzi, banzenze mpe mandanda mpo na bayembi. Batikalaki nanu komona nyonso wana te kati na mokili ya Yuda.
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 Na ngambo na ye, mokonzi Salomo apesaki na mwasi mokonzi ya Saba biloko nyonso oyo azalaki na yango posa mpe oyo asengaki, koleka kutu biloko oyo amemelaki mokonzi. 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, whatever she asked, besides that which she had brought to the king. So she turned, and went away to her own land, she and her servants.
13 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 and sixty and six talents of gold;
14 mbongo ya mpako ya bato ya mombongo oyo bazalaki koteka biloko oyo bazalaki kosomba na bamboka ya bapaya, mpe mbongo ya mpako ya bateki biloko ya ndenge na ndenge. Bakonzi nyonso ya Arabi mpe bayangeli ya bituka bazalaki komema wolo mpe palata epai ya Salomo.
Besides that which traders and merchants brought. And all the kings of Arabia and governors of the country brought gold and silver to Solomon.
15 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 shields of beaten gold: six hundred shekels of beaten gold went to one shield.
16 Asalisaki lisusu na wolo batuta banguba mike nkama misato; nguba moko na moko ya moke esengaki bakilo misato ya wolo. Mokonzi atiaki yango kati na ndako na ye, oyo bazalaki kobenga « ndako ya zamba ya Libani. »
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 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 pure gold.
18 Kiti yango ya bokonzi ezalaki na ematelo ya binyatelo motoba, enyatelo makolo ya wolo ekanganaki na kiti. Na bangambo nyonso mibale, ezalaki na bisika ya kotia maboko, mpe bikeko mibale ya nkosi na pembeni ya bisika ya kotia maboko.
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 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.
20 Bakopo nyonso ya mokonzi Salomo ezalaki ya wolo, mpe biloko nyonso ya ndako ya Zamba ya Libani ezalaki ya wolo ya peto. Pamba te, na tango oyo Salomo azalaki mokonzi, palata ezalaki na motuya ata te.
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 considered as any thing in the days of Solomon.
21 Mokonzi azalaki na bamasuwa oyo ezalaki kokende na Tarsisi, elongo na basali ya Irami. Sima na mibu nyonso misato, bamasuwa ezalaki kozonga wuta na Tarsisi mpe ezalaki komema wolo, palata, pembe ya nzoko, bamakaku mpe bandeke oyo babengaka « Paoni. »
For the king’s ships went to Tarshish with the servants of Huram: once every three years came the ships of Tarshish bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
22 Mokonzi Salomo alekaki bakonzi nyonso ya mokili na bozwi mpe na bwanya.
And king Solomon excelled all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.
23 Bakonzi nyonso ya mokili bazalaki koluka kokutana na Salomo mpo na koyoka bwanya oyo Nzambe atiaki kati na motema na ye.
And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, that God had put in his heart.
24 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 present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and raiment, armour, and spices, horses, and mules, at a certain rate year by year.
25 Salomo azalaki na bashambre nkoto minei mpo na kobomba bampunda elongo na bashar, mpe batambolisi nkoto zomi na mibale mpo na bashar. Atiaki yango kati na bingumba ya bashar mpe epai na ye, Salomo, kati na Yelusalemi.
And Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen; whom he placed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
26 Azalaki likolo ya bakonzi nyonso, longwa na Ebale (Efrate) kino na mokili ya bato ya Filisitia mpe na mondelo ya Ejipito.
And he reigned over all the kings from the river even to the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt.
27 Mokonzi asalaki ete palata ekoma ebele kati 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 in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar trees he made as the sycamore trees that are in the low plains in abundance.
28 Bampunda ya Salomo ezalaki kowuta na Ejipito mpe na mikili mosusu.
And they brought to Solomon horses from Egypt, and from all lands.
29 Makambo mosusu oyo etali bokonzi ya Salomo, kobanda na ebandeli kino na suka, ekomama kati na buku ya misala ya mosakoli Natan, ya mosakoli Ayiya, moto ya Silo; mpe kati na buku ya bimoniseli ya Yedo, momoni makambo, na tina na Jeroboami, mwana mobali ya Nebati.
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 concerning Jeroboam the son of Nebat?
30 Salomo akonzaki Isalaele mobimba mibu tuku minei, na Yelusalemi.
And Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years.
31 Bongo Salomo akendeki kokutana na bakoko na ye, mpe bakundaki ye kati na engumba ya Davidi, tata na ye. Mwana na ye, Roboami, akitanaki na ye na bokonzi.
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.
