1 Mpanjaka 10
1 Ie jinanji’ ty mpanjaka-ampela’ i Seba ty enge’ i Selomò ty amy tahina’ Iehovày, le nimb’eo hamente aze an-tafatoño.
Now the queen of Sheba, hearing great things of Solomon, came to put his wisdom to the test with hard questions.
2 Le am-pivavàrañe jabajaba ty nitotsaha’e e Ierosalaime ao, reketse rameva ninday fampafiriañe naho volamena tsifotofoto naho vatosoa; aa ie tsatoke amy Selomò, le fonga nabora’e ama’e ty arofo’e.
And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels weighted down with spices, and stores of gold and jewels: and when she came to Solomon she had talk with him of everything in her mind.
3 Aa le vinale’ i Selomò ontane’e iabio; tsy nietak’ amy mpanjakay ty hatoi’e aze.
And Solomon gave her answers to all her questions; there was no secret which the king did not make clear to her.
4 Ie nioni’ i mpanjaka ampela’ i Sebay ze hene hihi’ i Selomò, naho i anjomba niranjie’ey,
And when the queen of Sheba had seen all the wisdom of Solomon, and the house which he had made,
5 naho ty mahakama am-pandambaña’e eo, naho ty fandaharam-piambesa’ o mpitoro’eo naho ty fiatraha’ o mpiatra’eo naho o siki’eo naho o mpitàm-pitovi’eo vaho o soroñe fañenga’e añ’anjomba’ Iehovào, le tsy nahakofòke.
And the food at his table, and all his servants seated there, and those who were waiting on him in their places, and their robes, and his wine-servants, and the burned offerings which he made in the house of the Lord, there was no more spirit in her.
6 Aa le hoe re amy mpanjakay: Nitò i talily tsinanoko an-tanekoy ty amo taro’oo naho o hihi’oo.
And she said to the king, The account which was given to me in my country of your acts and your wisdom was true.
7 Fe tsy niantofako o saontsio ampara te nivotrak’ atoy naho nitrea’ o masokoo, le hehe te tsy ty vaki’e o natalily ahio; loho mandikoatse i talily tsinanokoy ty hilala’o naho ty firaoraoa’o.
But I had no faith in what was said about you, till I came and saw for myself; and now I see that it was not half the story; your wisdom and your wealth are much greater than they said.
8 Haha ondati’oo naho fale o mpitoro’o mijohañe nainai’e añatrefa’o mahajanjiñe o hihi’oo.
Happy are your wives, happy are these your servants whose place is ever before you, hearing your words of wisdom.
9 Andriañeñe t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’o te nahafale Aze ty nampipoke azo am-piambesa’ Israele eo amy te nikokoa’ Iehovà nainai’e donia t’Israele, ihe nanoe’e mpanjaka, hitoloña’o an-katò vaho an-kavantañañe.
May the Lord your God be praised, whose pleasure it was to put you on the seat of the kingdom of Israel; because the Lord's love for Israel is eternal, he has made you king, to be their judge in righteousness.
10 Le natolo’e amy mpanjakay ty volamena talenta zato-tsi-roapolo; naho fampafiriañe tsi-fotofoto vaho vatosoa; le lia’e tsy eo ka ty hamarom-pampafiriañe nitotsak’ ao te amy natolo’ i mpanjaka’ i Sebaiy amy Selomò mpanjakay.
And she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and a great store of spices and jewels: never again was such a wealth of spices seen as that which the queen of Sheba gave King Solomon.
11 Le ninday volamena boake Ofire naho nilogologo hatae almoge maro boake Ofire añe, vaho vatosoa, o firimbon-tsambo’ i Kirameo.
And the sea-force of Hiram, in addition to gold from Ophir, came back with much sandal-wood and jewels.
12 Niranjie’ i mpanjakay amy hatae almogey, o fahañe añ’anjomba’ Iehovà naho añ’anjomba’ i mpanjakaio vaho o marovany miharo ty fititiha’ o sakeraoo, le lia’e tsy nioniñe ampara’ te henane ty hatae almoge hoe izay.
And from the sandal-wood the king made pillars for the house of the Lord, and for the king's house, and instruments of music for the makers of melody: never has such sandal-wood been seen to this day.
13 Hene natolo’ i Selomò mpanjaka amy mpanjaka-ampela’ i Sebay ze nitea’e, ze nihalalia’e, mandikoatse ty natolo’e aze ty amo varam-panjaka’eo. Aa le nitolike re, nimpoly mb’ an-tane’e añe, ie naho o mpitoro’eo.
And King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she made request for, in addition to what he gave her freely from the impulse of his heart. So she went back to her country, she and her servants.
14 Ie amy zao, ty volamena niheo mb’ amy Selomò ami’ty taoñe raike le nahatratse talenta volamena enen-jato-tsi-enem-polo-eneñ’amby,
Now the weight of gold which came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents;
15 mandikoatse ze nendese’ o mpivarotseo, naho o mpanao balikeo, naho boak’ amy ze hene mpanjaka’ o nte-Araboo, naho amo mpifeleke i taneio.
In addition to what came to him from the business of the traders, and from all the kings of the Arabians, and from the rulers of the country.
16 Le nitsene’ i Selomò mpanjaka fikalan-defoñe volamena roanjato pinepèke; sekele enen-jato ty fikalan-defoñe raike.
And Solomon made two hundred body-covers of hammered gold, every one having six hundred shekels of gold in it.
17 Le nitsene’e fikalan-defoñe volamena-pinepèke telon-jato; mina telo ty volamena ami’ty fikalan-defoñe ao; vaho napo’ i mpanjakay añ’ anjomba’ i Ala-Lebanoney irezay.
And he made three hundred smaller body-covers of hammered gold, with three pounds of gold in every cover: and the king put them in the house of the Woods of Lebanon.
18 Nandranjy fiambesatse jabajaba an-tsifam-biby ka i mpanjakay vaho pinepè’e ama’e ty volamena ki’e.
Then the king made a great ivory seat, plated with the best gold.
19 Fanongà enen-dia ty nitroatse mb’amy fiambesatsey, le bontoly ty ambone an-dambosi’ i fiambesatsey; naho fisampezam-pitàñe ty añ’ ila’ i fiambesatsey, vaho liona roe ty mijadoñe añ’ ila’ o fisampezam-pitàñeo.
There were six steps going up to it, and the top of it was round at the back, there were arms on the two sides of the seat, and two lions by the side of the arms;
20 Liona folo-ro’ amby ty nijohañe amy fanongañe enen-diay, añ’ila’e atoy naho añila’e aroy; vaho tsy eo ty nanoeñe nanahak’ aze ndra am-pifeheañe aia.
And twelve lions were placed on the one side and on the other side on the six steps: there was nothing like it in any kingdom.
21 Songa tam-bolamena o fitovi’ i Selomòo vaho hene volamena ki’e o fanak’ amy anjomban’ Ala-Lebanoneio, leo raike tsy nivolafoty, ie tsy natao vara tañ’ andro’ i Selomò.
And all King Solomon's drinking-vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the Woods of Lebanon were of the best gold; not one was of silver, for no one gave a thought to silver in the days of King Solomon.
22 Nanañe firimboñan-tsambon-Tarsise reketse ty firimboñan-tsambo’ i Kirame i mpanjakay; nivotrake eo o sambo’ i Tarsiseo isa’ ty telo taoñe, ninday volamena, volafoty, tsifa naho babakoto vaho remàleñe.
For the king had Tarshish-ships at sea with the ships of Hiram; once every three years the Tarshish-ships came with gold and silver and ivory and monkeys and peacocks.
23 Aa le nilikoare’ i Selomò mpanjaka o mpanjaka’ ty tane toy iabio ami’ty vara naho hihitse.
And King Solomon was greater than all the kings of the earth in wealth and in wisdom.
24 Le hene nipay ty hiatrek’ amy Selomò ty tane toy, ty hijanjiñe ty hilala napon’ Añahare añ’arofo’e ao.
And from all over the earth they came to see Solomon and to give ear to his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
25 Songa ninday ty ravoravo’e boa-taoñe ondatio, fanake volafoty naho fanake volamena naho sikiñe, naho fialiañe naho fampifiriañe, naho soavala vaho borìke.
And everyone took with him an offering, vessels of silver and vessels of gold, and robes, and coats of metal, and spices, and horses, and beasts of transport, regularly year by year.
26 Namory sarete t’i Selomò naho mpiningi-tsoavala, arivo-tsi-efa-jato ty sarete’e naho mpiningi-tsoavala rai-ale-tsi-ro’arivo ze napo’e amo rovan-tsareteo vaho amy mpanjakay e Ierosalaime ao.
And Solomon got together war-carriages and horsemen; he had one thousand, four hundred carriages and twelve thousand horsemen, whom he kept, some in the carriage-towns and some with the king at Jerusalem.
27 Le nanoe’ i mpanjakay hoe vato ty volafoty e Ierosalaime ao vaho nanoe’e hoe sakoañe am-bavatane ao o mendoraveñeo ty amo hamaro’eo.
And the king made silver as common as stones in Jerusalem and cedars like the sycamore-trees of the lowlands in number.
28 Nendeseñe boake Mitsraime naho e Kevè añe o soavala’ i Selomòo; nangalak’ amy Kevè ami’ty vili’e o mpanao balibali’ i mpanjakaio.
And Solomon's horses came from Egypt and from Kue; the king's traders got them at a price from Kue.
29 Le enen-jato sekelem-bolafoty ty nampiakarañe sarete boake Mitsraime añe, le zato-tsi-limampolo ty soavala; vaho am-pità’ iareoo ty nahazoa’ ze hene mpanjaka’ o nte-Kiteo naho o mpanjaka’ i Arameo.
A war-carriage might be got from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty; they got them at the same rate for all the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Aram.
