2 Tantara 9
1 Ary ny mpanjakavavin’ i Sheba, rehefa ny nahare ny lazan’ i Solomona, dia tonga tany Jerosalema hizaha toetra azy tamin’ ny fanontaniana sarotra, ary maro be ny mpanaraka azy, sady be koa ny rameva izay nitondra zava-manitra sy volamena sesehena ary vato soa; ary rehefa tonga tao amin’ i Solomona izy, dia niresaka taminy ny amin’ izay rehetra tao am-pony.
And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to prove Solomon with riddles at Jerusalem, with a very great train, and with camels bearing spices, and gold in abundance, and precious stones: and when she was come to Solomon, she spoke with him of all that was on her heart.
2 Ary voavalin’ i Solomona izy tamin’ izay rehetra nanontaniany azy; tsy nisy zavatra niafina tamin’ i Solomona, fa nambarany azy avokoa.
And Solomon solved for her all her questions; and there was nothing hidden from Solomon which he did not tell her.
3 Ary rehefa hitan’ ilay mpanjakavavin’ i Sheba ny fahendren’ i Solomona sy ny trano izay nataony
And when the queen of Sheba saw the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had built,
4 sy ny hanim-pihinany teo amin’ ny latabany, sy ny fipetrahan’ ny tandapany sy ny fitoeran’ ny mpanompony mbamin’ ny fitafian’ ireo sy ny mpitondra kapoakany sy ny fitafian’ ireo, ary ny ambaratonga izay niakarany ho ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah, dia talanjona terỳ izy.
And the food of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel, and his cup-bearers, 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 Dia hoy izy tamin’ ny mpanjaka: Marina ny teny efa reko tany amin’ ny taniko ny amin’ ny teninao sy ny fahendrenao.
And she said to the king, The truth [only] was the word that I heard in my own land of thy acts, and of thy wisdom.
6 Kanefa tsy nino ny filazana aho, raha tsy tonga atỳ, ka ny masoko no mahita; kanjo hay! na dia ny antsasaky ny fahendrenao aza tsy voalaza tamiko akory; fa, indro, mihoatra noho ny laza efa reko ianao.
And I believed not in their words, until I came, and my eyes saw [all]; and, behold, the one-half of the greatness of thy wisdom hath not been told me: thou excellest the report which I have heard.
7 Sambatra lahy ny olonao, ary sambatra ireto tandapanao ireto, izay mijanona eto anatrehanao mandrakariva ka mandre ny fahendrenao!
Happy are thy men, and happy are these thy servants, who stand before thee continually, and hear thy wisdom.
8 Isaorana anie Jehovah Andriamanitrao Izay tia anao ka nametraka anao amin’ ny seza fiandrianany ho mpanjaka ho an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao; fa noho ny fitiavan’ Andriamanitrao ny Isiraely hampitoetra azy mandrakizay no nanaovany anao ho mpanjakany mba hanao fitsarana sy fahamarinana.
Blessed be the Lord thy God, who hath had delight in thee to place thee on his throne, as a king for the Lord thy God; because thy God loved Israel, to sustain them for ever, therefore hath he placed thee over them as king, to exercise justice and righteousness.
9 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 tahaka ilay nomen’ ny mpanjakavavin’ i Sheba an’ i Solomona mpanjaka.
And she gave to the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices in very great abundance, and precious stones: and there never were any such spices as those which the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.
10 Ary ny mpanompon’ i Hirama koa sy ny mpanompon’ i Solomona, izay naka volamena avy tany Ofira, dia nitondra hazo almoga sy vato soa.
And also the servants of Churam, and the servants of Solomon, who brought gold from Ophir, brought sandal-trees and precious stones.
11 Ary ny hazo almoga dia nataon’ ny mpanjaka ambaratonga mankamin’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah sy ny lapan’ andriana ary nataony lokanga sy valiha ho an’ ny mpihira koa; ary tsy mbola nisy hita toy izany teo aloha tamin’ ny tanin’ ny Joda.
And the king made of the sandal-trees steps for the house of the Lord, and for the king's palace, and harps and psalteries for singers: and there were never seen the like of them before in the land of Judah.
12 Ary Solomona mpanjaka dia nanome ny mpanjakavavin’ i Sheba kosa izay rehetra niriny, na inona na inona nangatahiny, afa-tsy izay valin’ ny nentiny ho an’ ny mpanjaka; ka dia niverina izy, ary lasa nody tany amin’ ny taniny izy mbamin’ ny mpanompony.
And king Solomon gave unto the queen of Sheba all her pleasure, whatsoever she asked, beside [a return for] that which she had brought unto the king. And she turned about and went away to her own country, she and her servants.
13 Ary ny lanjan’ ny volamena izay tonga tao amin’ i Solomona isan-taona dia talenta volamena enina amby enim-polo amby enin-jato,
Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty and six talents of gold;
14 afa-tsy izay nentin’ ny mpivarotra sy ny mpandranto. Ary ny mpanjakan’ i Arabia rehetra sy ny mpanapaka ny tany dia samy nitondra volamena sy volafotsy ho an’ i Solomona.
Besides what the travelling tradesmen and the merchants brought. And all the kings of Arabia and the governors of the country brought gold and silver to Solomon.
15 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 targets of beaten gold: six hundred shekels of beaten gold he used for each one target.
16 Ary nanao ampinga volamena telonjato koa izy tamin’ ny volamena voafisaka, ka takela-bolamena sekely telon-jato no napetaka tamin’ ny ampinga iray. Dia napetraky ny mpanjaka tao amin’ ny trano Alan’ i Libanona lreo.
And [he made] three hundred shields of beaten gold; three hundred shekels of gold he used for each one shield. And the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
17 Ary ny mpanjaka nanao seza fiandrianana ivory lehibe, ka nopetahany takela-bolamena tsara.
The king also made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold.
18 Nisy ambaratonga enina amin’ ny seza fiandrianana sy fitoeran-tongotra volamena, izay naraikitra tamin’ ny seza fiandrianana, ary nisy fitehenana teo an-daniny roa tamin’ ny fipetrahana ary nisy sarin-diona roa teo an-danin’ ny fitehenan-tanana;
And the throne had six steps, with a footstool of gold, fastened into the throne; and there were arms on either side, on the place of the seat; and two lions stood beside the arms;
19 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 stood there upon the six steps on both sides: there was not the like made in any kingdom.
20 Ary ny fisotroan’ i Solomona mpanjaka dia volamena avokoa, ary ny fanaka rehetra tao amin’ ny trano Alan’ i Libanona koa dia volamena tsara avokoa; tsy nisy volafotsy ireo, fa natao toy ny tsinontsinona izany tamin’ ny andron’ i Solomona.
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: no silver was valued in the days of Solomon at the least.
21 Fa ny mpanjaka nanana sambo mpankany Tarsisy niaraka tamin’ ny mpanompon’ i Hirama; ary indray mandeha isan-telo taona no nihavian’ ny sambon’ i Tarsisy nitondra volamena sy volafotsy sy ivory sy rajako ary vorombola.
For the king's ships went to Tharshish with the servants of Churam; once in three years did the Tharshish-ships use to come home laden with gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
22 Ary Solomona mpanjaka dia nanan-karena sady hendry indrindra noho ny mpanjaka rehetra ambonin’ ny tany.
And king Solomon became greater than all the kings of the earth for riches and wisdom.
23 Ary ny mpanjaka rehetra ambonin’ ny tany nitady hahita ny tavan’ i Solomona mba hihaino ny fahendrena, izay nataon’ Andriamanitra tao am-pony.
And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
24 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 brought every man his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, armor, and spices, horses, and mules; [and] so year by year.
25 Ary Solomona nanana efi-trano efatra arivo fitoeran’ ny soavaly mpitarika kalesy ary soavaly fitaingina roa arivo sy iray alina, izay nataony tao amin’ ireo tanàna fitoeran-kalesy sy tao amin’ ny mpanjaka tany Jerosalema.
And Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, whom he quartered in the cities for chariots, and near the king at Jerusalem.
26 Ary nanjaka tamin’ ny mpanjaka rehetra hatramin’ ny Ony ka hatramin’ ny tanin’ ny Filistina ary hatramin’ ny sisin’ i Egypta izy.
And he was ruling over all the kings from the river even unto the land of the Philistines, and as far as the boundary of Egypt.
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 rendered silver in Jerusalem like stones, and the cedar-trees he rendered like the sycamore-trees that are in the lowlands, for abundance.
28 Ary nangalana soavaly avy tany Egypta sy tany amin’ ny tany rehetra koa Solomona.
And men were bringing out horses for Solomon from Egypt and from all lands.
29 Ary ny tantaran’ i Solomona sisa, na ny voalohany na ny farany, tsy efa voasoratra va izany ao amin’ ny bokin’ i Natana mpaminany sy amin’ ny faminanian’ i Ahia Silonita sy amin’ ny fahitan’ Ido mpahita ny amin’ i Jeroboama, zanak’ i Nebata?
And the remainder of the acts of Solomon, the first and the last, behold, they are written in the history of Nathan the prophet, and in the prophecy of Achiyah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Ye'do the seer concerning Jerobo'am the son of Nebat.
30 Ary Solomona nanjaka efa-polo taona tamin’ ny Isiraely rehetra tany Jerosalema.
And Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years.
31 Ary Solomona lasa nodimandry any amin’ ny razany, dia nalevina tao an-Tanànan’ i Davida rainy izy; ary Rehoboama zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.
And Solomon slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David his father: and Rehobo'am his son became king in his stead.
