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.
When the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the LORD’s name, she came to test him 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.
She came to Jerusalem with a very great caravan, with camels that bore spices, very much gold, and precious stones; and when she had come to Solomon, she talked with him about all that was in her heart.
3 Aa le vinale’ i Selomò ontane’e iabio; tsy nietak’ amy mpanjakay ty hatoi’e aze.
Solomon answered all her questions. There wasn’t anything hidden from the king which he didn’t tell her.
4 Ie nioni’ i mpanjaka ampela’ i Sebay ze hene hihi’ i Selomò, naho i anjomba niranjie’ey,
When the queen of Sheba had seen all the wisdom of Solomon, 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.
the food of his table, the sitting of his servants, the attendance of his officials, their clothing, his cup bearers, and his ascent by which he went up to the LORD’s house, 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.
She said to the king, “It was a true report that I heard in my own land of your acts and of your 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.
However, I didn’t believe the words until I came and my eyes had seen it. Behold, not even half was told me! Your wisdom and prosperity exceed the fame which I heard.
8 Haha ondati’oo naho fale o mpitoro’o mijohañe nainai’e añatrefa’o mahajanjiñe o hihi’oo.
Happy are your men, happy are these your servants who stand continually before you, who hear your 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 is the LORD your God, who delighted in you, to set you on the throne of Israel. Because the LORD loved Israel forever, therefore he made you 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.
She gave the king one hundred twenty talents of gold, and a very great quantity of spices, and precious stones. Never again was there such an abundance of spices 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.
The fleet of Hiram that brought gold from Ophir also brought in from Ophir great quantities of almug trees 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.
The king made of the almug trees pillars for the LORD’s house and for the king’s house, harps also and stringed instruments for the singers; no such almug trees came or were 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.
King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she asked, in addition to that which Solomon gave her of his royal bounty. So she turned and went to her own land, 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 that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred sixty-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.
in addition to that which the traders brought, and the traffic of the merchants, and of all the kings of the mixed people, 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.
King Solomon made two hundred bucklers of beaten gold; six hundred shekels of gold went to one buckler.
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.
He made three hundred shields of beaten gold; three minas of gold went to 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.
Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with the finest 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 to the throne, and the top of the throne was round behind; and there were armrests on either side by the place of the seat, and two lions standing beside the armrests.
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.
Twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other on the six steps. Nothing like it was made 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.
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, because it was considered of little value in the days of 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 a fleet of ships of Tarshish at sea with Hiram’s fleet. Once every three years the fleet of Tarshish came bringing gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks.
23 Aa le nilikoare’ i Selomò mpanjaka o mpanjaka’ ty tane toy iabio ami’ty vara naho hihitse.
So King Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth in riches and in wisdom.
24 Le hene nipay ty hiatrek’ amy Selomò ty tane toy, ty hijanjiñe ty hilala napon’ Añahare añ’arofo’e ao.
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.
Year after year, every man brought his tribute, vessels of silver, vessels of gold, clothing, armor, spices, horses, and mules.
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.
Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen. He had one thousand four hundred chariots and twelve thousand horsemen. He kept them in the chariot cities and 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.
The king made silver as common as stones in Jerusalem, and cedars as common as the sycamore trees that are in the lowland.
28 Nendeseñe boake Mitsraime naho e Kevè añe o soavala’ i Selomòo; nangalak’ amy Kevè ami’ty vili’e o mpanao balibali’ i mpanjakaio.
The horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt. The king’s merchants received them in droves, each drove 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.
A chariot was imported from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for one hundred fifty shekels; and so they exported them to all the kings of the Hittites and to the kings of Syria.
