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.
And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon in connection with the name of the Lord, she came to prove him with riddles.
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 an exceedingly great train, with camels bearing spices, and gold in great abundance, and precious stones: and when she was come to Solomon, she spoke with him of all that was on her heart.
3 Aa le vinale’ i Selomò ontane’e iabio; tsy nietak’ amy mpanjakay ty hatoi’e aze.
And Solomon solved [for] her all her questions: nothing remained hidden from the king, which he did not tell 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 saw all Solomon's wisdom, and the house that he had built,
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 of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel, and his cup-bearers, and his ascent by which he went up unto 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 truth only was the word that I heard in my own land of thy acts and of thy wisdom.
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.
And I believed not in the words, until I came, and my eyes saw [all]: and, behold, the half hath not been told me; thou excellest in wisdom and prosperity the report which I have heard.
8 Haha ondati’oo naho fale o mpitoro’o mijohañe nainai’e añatrefa’o mahajanjiñe o hihi’oo.
Happy are thy men, happy are these thy servants, who stand before thee continually, who hear thy 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.
Blessed be the Lord thy God, who hath had delight in thee, to place thee on the throne of Israel; because the Lord loveth Israel for ever, therefore hath he made thee king, to do justice and 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 to the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices a very great store, and precious stones: there came no more spices in such abundance as these which the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.
11 Le ninday volamena boake Ofire naho nilogologo hatae almoge maro boake Ofire añe, vaho vatosoa, o firimbon-tsambo’ i Kirameo.
And also the ship of Hiram, that fetched gold from Ophir, brought in from Ophir in great abundance sandal-wood and precious stones.
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 the king made of the sandal-wood a railing for the house of the Lord, and for the king's house, and harps and psalteries for the singers: there came no such sandal-wood, nor was it seen [again] until 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 unto the queen of Sheba all her pleasure, whatsoever she asked, beside what Solomon gave her of his royal bounty. So she turned about and went to her own 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 the gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty and six talents of gold,
15 mandikoatse ze nendese’ o mpivarotseo, naho o mpanao balikeo, naho boak’ amy ze hene mpanjaka’ o nte-Araboo, naho amo mpifeleke i taneio.
Beside [what he had] of the traveling tradesmen, and of the traffic of the merchants, and of the kings of confederate nations, and of the governors of the country.
16 Le nitsene’ i Selomò mpanjaka fikalan-defoñe volamena roanjato pinepèke; sekele enen-jato ty fikalan-defoñe raike.
And king Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold: six hundred shekels of gold he used for each one target.
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 shields of beaten gold; three manehs of gold he used for each one shield: and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
18 Nandranjy fiambesatse jabajaba an-tsifam-biby ka i mpanjakay vaho pinepè’e ama’e ty volamena ki’e.
The king also made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it 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.
The throne had six steps, and there was a round top on the throne behind; and there were arms on either side on the place of the seat, and two lions stood beside 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 stood there upon the six steps on both sides: there was not the like made in any other 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 forest of Lebanon were of pure gold; none were of silver; it was not valued in the days of Solomon at the least.
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 a Tharshish-ship at sea with the ship of Hiram: once in three years the Tharshish-ship used to come home, laden with gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
23 Aa le nilikoare’ i Selomò mpanjaka o mpanjaka’ ty tane toy iabio ami’ty vara naho hihitse.
And king Solomon became greater than all the kings of the earth for riches and for wisdom.
24 Le hene nipay ty hiatrek’ amy Selomò ty tane toy, ty hijanjiñe ty hilala napon’ Añahare añ’arofo’e ao.
And [men of] all the earth sought the presence of Solomon to hear 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 they brought every man his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and armor, and spices, horses, and mules: and so 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 gathered together chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, whom he quartered in the cities for chariots, and near 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 rendered the silver in Jerusalem like stones, and the cedars he rendered like the sycamore-trees that are in the lowlands, for abundance.
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 had horses brought out of Egypt; and a company of the king's merchants bought a quantity at a price.
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.
And a chariot-team came up and went 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, did they bring them out by their means.
