1 Mpanjaka 10
1 Ary ny mpanjakavavin’ i Sheba, rehefa nahare ny lazan’ i Solomona ny amin’ ny anaran’ i Jehovah, dia avy hizaha toetra azy amin’ ny fanontaniana sarotra,
And, when, the queen of Sheba, heard the report of Solomon, as pertaining to the Name of Yahweh, she came to prove him, with abstruse questions.
2 ka tonga tany Jerosalema izy mbamin’ ny mpanaraka maro be sy ny rameva izay nitondra zava-manitra sy volamena sesehena ary vato soa; ary rehefa tonga tany amin’ i Solomona izy, dia nilaza taminy izay rehetra tao am-pony.
Yea she came to Jerusalem with a very heavily-laden train, of camels bearing spices, and gold in great abundance, and precious stones, —and, when she was come to Solomon, she spake unto him all that was near her heart;
3 Ary voavalin’ i Solomona izy tamin’ izay rehetra nanontaniany azy; tsy nisy zavatra niafina tamin’ ny mpanjaka, ka dia nambarany azy avokoa.
and Solomon answered her all her questions, —there was nothing hidden from the king, which he told her not.
4 Ary rehefa hitan’ ilay mpanjakavavin’ i Sheba ny fahendren’ i Solomona rehetra sy ny trano izay nataony
And, when the queen of Sheba had seen all the wisdom of Solomon, —and the house which he had built;
5 sy ny fihinany teo amin’ ny latabany sy ny fipetrahan’ ny tandapany sy ny fitoeran’ ny mpanompony mbamin’ ny fitafian’ ireo sy ny mpitondra kapoakany ary ny ambaratonga izay niakarany ho ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah, dia talanjona terỳ izy.
and the food of his table, and the seated assembly of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers with their apparel, and his cupbearers, and his ascent by which he ascended unto the house of Yahweh, there was in her no more spirit.
6 Ka hoy izy tamin’ ny mpanjaka: Marina ny teny efa reko tany amin’ ny taniko ny amin’ ny teninao sy ny fahendrenao.
And she said unto the king, True, was the word which I heard in mine own land, —concerning thine affairs, and concerning thy wisdom.
7 kanefa tsy nino ny filazana aho, raha tsy tonga atỳ, ka ny masoko no mahita, kanjo hay! na dia ny antsasany aza tsy voalaza tamiko akory: fa, indro, ny fahendrenao sy ny voninahitrao dia mihoatra lavitra noho izay laza efa reko.
Howbeit I believed not the words, until that I had come and mine own eyes had seen, and lo! there had not been told me, the half, —thou dost exceed, in wisdom and prosperity, even the report which I heard!
8 Sambatra lahy ny olonao, ary sambatra ireto tandapanao ireto, izay mijanona eto anatrehanao mandrakariva ka mandre ny fahendrenao
How happy, are thy wives, how happy, are these thy servants, —who do stand before thee continually, who hear thy wisdom!
9 Isaorana anie Jehovah Andriamanitrao, Izay tia anao ka nametraka anao amin’ ny seza fiandrianan’ ny Isiraely; fa noho ny fitiavan’ i Jehovah, izay itiavany ny Isiraely mandrakizay, no nanaovany anao ho mpanjaka mba hanao fitsarana sy fahamarinana.
Yahweh thy God be blessed, who delighted in thee, to set thee upon the throne of Israel, —because Yahweh loveth Israel unto times age-abiding, therefore hath he appointed thee to be king, to execute justice and righteousness.
10 Ary izy nanome talenta volamena roa-polo amby zato sy zava-manitra sesehena ary vato soa ho an’ ny mpanjaka; tsy nisy intsony zava-manitra be indrindra tonga tahaka ilay nomen’ ny mpanjakavavin’ i Sheba ho an’ i Solomona mpanjaka.
And she gave unto the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices in great abundance, and precious stones, —there came in no more, such spice for abundance, as that which the queen of Sheba gave unto King Solomon.
11 Ary ny sambon’ i Hirama koa, izay naka volamena avy any Ofira, dia nitondra hazo almoga be indrindra sy vato soa avy any Ofira.
Moreover also, the fleet of Hiram, which brought gold from Ophir, brought in, from Ophir sandal-wood in great abundance, and precious stones.
12 Ary ny hazo almoga dia nataon’ ny mpanjaka arofanina tamin’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah sy ny lapan’ andriana ary nataony lokanga sy valiha ho an’ ny mpihira kosa; tsy nisy hazo almoga tonga tany na hita toy izany intsony mandraka androany.
So the king made of the sandal-wood a footpath to the house of Yahweh, and to the house of the king, lyres also and harps, for the singers, —there hath neither come in such sandal-wood, nor been seen, unto this day.
13 Ary Solomona mpanjaka nanome ny mpanjakavavin’ i Sheba kosa izay rehetra niriny, na inona na inona nangatahiny, afa-tsy izay nomeny azy araka ny fanomen’ i Solomona mpanjaka; ka dia niverina izy, ary lasa nody tany amin’ ny taniny izy mbamin’ ny mpanompony.
And, when, King Solomon, had given unto the queen of Sheba, all her desire, which she asked, besides that which he gave her as the bounty of King Solomon, she turned, and went to her own land, she and her servants.
14 Ary ny lanjan’ ny volamena izay tonga tao amin’ i Solomona isan-taona dia talenta volamena enina amby enim-polo amby enin-jato,
And it came to pass that, the weight of the gold which came in unto Solomon in one year, was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold;
15 afa-tsy izay azony tamin’ ny mpandranto sy ny tamin’ ny varotry ny mpivarotra ary tamin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny firenena samy hafa rehetra sy tamin’ ny mpanapaka ny tany.
besides the tribute of the subjugated, and of the travelling merchants, —and of all the kings of Arabia, and the pashas of the land.
16 Ary Solomona mpanjaka nanao ampinga volamena lehibe roan-jato tamin’ ny volamena voafisaka, ka takela-bolamena sekely enin-jato no napetaka tamin’ ny ampinga lehibe iray.
And King Solomon made two hundred shields, of beaten gold, six hundred [shekels] of gold, laid he upon one shield;
17 Ary nanao ampinga volamena telonjato koa izy tamin’ ny volamena voafisaka, ka takela-bolamena telo mane no napetaka tamin’ ny ampinga iray. Dia napetraky ny mpanjaka tao amin’ ny trano Alan’ i Libanona ireo.
and three hundred bucklers, of beaten gold, one hundred and fifty shekels of gold, laid he upon one buckler, —and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
18 Ary ny mpanjaka dia nanao seza fiandrianana ivory lehibe, ka nopetahany takela-bolamena tsara indrindra.
And the king made a great throne of ivory, —and overlaid it with gold from Uphaz.
19 Nisy ambaratonga enina tamin’ ny seza fiandrianana; ary ny lohan’ ny seza fiandrianana, dia boribory ny eo an damosiny; ary nisy fitehenan-tanana teo an-daniny roa amin’ ny fipetrahana; ary nisy sarin-diona roa teo an-danin’ ny fitehenan-tanana.
There were, six steps, to the throne, and there was, a circular top, to the throne, behind it, and there were supports on this side and on that, unto the place of the seat, —with two lions standing beside the supports;
20 Ary nisy sarin-diona roa ambin’ ny folo teo an-daniny roa teo amin’ ny ambaratonga enina. Tsy nisy natao tahaka izany tany amin’ ny fanjakana rehetra.
and, twelve lions, were standing there, upon the six steps, on this side and on that, —there had never been made the like, for any of the kingdoms.
21 Ary ny fisotroan’ i Solomona mpanjaka dia volamena, ary ny fanaka rehetra tao amin’ ny trano Alan’ i Libanona koa dia volamena tsara avokoa; tsy nisy volafotsy ireo; fa nataony toy ny tsinontsinona izany tamin’ ny andron’ i Solomona.
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 was of silver, it was accounted in the days of Solomon, as nothing.
22 Fa ny mpanjaka nanana sambon’ i Tarsisy mbamin’ ny sambon’ i Hirama teny ambonin’ ny ranomasina; ary indray mandeha amin’ ny telo taona no nihavian’ ny sambon’ i Tarsisy nitondra volamena sy volafotsy sy ivory sy rajako ary vorombola.
For, a fleet of Tarshish, had the king, at sea, with the fleet of Hiram, —once in three years, came in the fleet of Tarshish, bringing gold and silver, ivory and apes, and peacocks.
23 Ary Solomona mpanjaka dia nanankarena sady hendry noho ny mpanjaka rehetra ambonin’ ny tany.
So King Solomon became greater than any of the kings of the earth, —for riches and for wisdom.
24 Ary ny tany rehetra nitady hahita ny tavan’ i Solomona mba hihaino ny fahendrena izay nataon’ Andriamanitra tao am-pony.
And, all the earth, did seek the face of Solomon, —to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
25 Ary izy rehetra dia samy nahatonga ny anjarany avy isan-taona, dia fanaka volafotsy sy fanaka volamena sy fitafiana sy fiadiana sy zava-manitra sy soavaly ary ampondra.
And, they, did bring every man his present—vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and armour, and spices, horses and mules, —a rate of a year in a year.
26 Ary Solomona nanangona kalesy sy mpitaingin-tsoavaly; ary nanana kalesy efajato amby arivo izy sy mpitaingin-tsoavaly roa arivo amby iray alina, izay nataony tao amin’ ireo tanàna fitoeran’ ny kalesy sy tao amin’ ny mpanjaka tany Jerosalema.
And Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen, and so it was that he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, —for whom he found place in the chariot cities, and near the king, in Jerusalem.
27 Ary nataon’ ny mpanjaka tahaka ny vato ny habetsaky ny volafotsy tany Jerosalema, ary ny hazo sedera nataony toy ny aviavy eny amin’ ny tany lemaka amoron-tsiraka.
And the king caused silver in Jerusalem to be as stones, —cedars also, caused he to be as the sycamores that are in the lowlands, for abundance.
28 Ary avy any Egypta no nahazoan’ i Solomona soavaly; ary ny iray toko tamin’ ny mpandranton’ ny mpanjaka dia naka ny andiany iray araka izay vidiny voatendry.
And the horses that Solomon had were, an export, out of Egypt, —and, a company of the merchants of the king, used to fetch, a drove, at a price,
29 Ary ny vidin’ ny kalesy iray nentiny niakatra avy tany Egypta dia sekely volafotsy enin-jato, ary ny soavaly dia dimam-polo amby zato avy; ary toy izany kosa no nitondrany ho an’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Hetita sy ny mpanjakan’ ny Syriana.
And a chariot came up and forth 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, by their means, came they forth.
