2 Tantara 9
1 Ie jinanji’ty mpanjaka-ampela’ i Sebà ty enge’ i Selomò, le nimb’e Ierosalaime mb’eo hitsoke i Selomò am’ ontane sarotse; valobohòke ra’elahy ty nikovovòke nindre ama’e mb’eo; ninday raha mafiry o rameva’eo naho volamena tsifotofoto naho vato soa; aa ie nandoak’ amy Selomò eo le hene nisaontsia’e ze añ’arofo’e ao.
And the queen of Saba heard [of] the name of Solomon, and she came to Jerusalem with a very large force, to prove Solomon with hard questions, and [she had] camels bearing spices in abundance, and gold, and precious stones: and she came to Solomon, and told him all that was in her mind.
2 Tinoi’ i Selomò aze iaby ontane’eo vaho tsy eo ty raha nietak’ amy Selomò ty tsy nampandrendreha’e.
And Solomon told her all her words; and there passed not a word from Solomon which he told her not.
3 Ie nioni’ i mpanjaka-ampela’ i Sebày ty hihi’ i Selomò naho i anjomba’ niranjie’ey,
And the queen of Saba saw the wisdom of Solomon, and the house which he had built,
4 naho o mahakama am-pandambaña’eo naho o fiambesam-pitoro’eo naho ty fiatrafa’ o mpiatra’eo naho ty saro’ iareo; naho o mpitàm-pitovi’eo naho o siki’ iareoo; vaho ty fanongañe nionjona’e mb’añ’anjomba’ Iehovà mb’ eo, le tsy nahakofòke.
and the meat of the tables, and the sitting of his servants, and the standing of his ministers, and their raiment; and his cupbearers, and their apparel; and the whole burnt offerings which he offered up in the house of the Lord; then she was in ecstasy.
5 Le hoe re amy mpanjakay, Talily to ty nitsanoñeko an-taneko añe ty amo fitoloña’oo naho o hihi’oo,
And she said to the king, [It was] a true report which I heard in my land concerning your words, and concerning your wisdom.
6 le tsy niantofako heike o saontsi’eo naho tsy nivotrake etoan-draho vaho nitrea’ o masokoo; le hehe te tsy nisaontsieñ’ amako ty vakin-kaliforan-kihi’o; fa nilikoare’o ty enge nitsanoñeko.
Yet I believed not the reports until I came, and my eyes saw: and, behold, the half of the abundance of your wisdom was not told me: you have exceeded the report which I heard.
7 Haha ondati’oo naho fale o mpitoro’o mijohañe nainai’e añatrefa’oo, mijanjiñe o hihi’oo.
Blessed [are] your men, blessed [are] these your servants, who stand before you continually, and hear your wisdom.
8 Andriañeñe t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’o nañisok’ azo, nampiambesatse azo am-piambesa’e eo, ho mpanjaka’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o, ty amy fikokoan’ Añahare Israeley, ie najado’e ho nainai’e donia; izay ty nanoe’e azo mpanjaka’ iareo, hanoa’o ty hatò naho ty havantañañe.
Blessed be the Lord your God, who took pleasure in you, to set you upon his throne for a king, to the Lord your God: forasmuch as the Lord your God loved Israel to establish them for ever, therefore he has set you over them for a king to execute judgement and justice.
9 Le natolo’e amy mpanjakay ty volamena talenta zato-tsi-roapolo naho fampafiriañe tsifotofoto vaho vatosoa; kanao le lia’e tsy nioniñe ty fampafiriañe manahake i natolo’ i mpanjaka ampela’ i Sebày amy Selomò mpanjaka.
And she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices in very great abundance, and precious stones: and there were not [any where else] such spices as those which the queen of Saba gave king Solomon.
10 Ninday hatae màñitse naho vatosoa ka o mpitoro’ i Korame naho mpitoro’ i Selomò mpinday volamena boake Ofireo.
And the servants of Solomon and the servants of Chiram brought gold to Solomon out of Suphir, and pine timber, and precious stones.
11 Le namboara’ i mpanjakay fanongañe amy hatae màñitsey o lalañe mionjoñe mb’amy anjomba’ Iehovày naho mb’amy anjomba’ i mpanjakay mb’eoo mbore nanoa’e marovany naho jejobory o mpisaboo. Mbe lia’e tsy niisak’ an-tane Iehoda izay.
And the king made of the pine timber steps to the house of the Lord, and to the king's house, and harps and lutes for the singers: and such were not seen before in the land of Juda.
12 Le natolo’ i Selomò mpanjaka amy mpanjaka-ampela’ i Sebày ze hene nirie’e, ze nihalalia’e naho tsy i natolo’e amy mpanjakay. Aa le nitolike re, nimpoly mb’an-tane’e añe, ie naho o mpitoro’eo.
And king Solomon gave to the queen of Saba all that she requested, besides all that she brought to king Solomon: and she returned to her [own] land.
13 Ie amy zay, ty lanjam-bolamena niheo mb’amy Selomò ami’ty taoñe le talenta volamena enen-jato-tsi-enem-polo-eneñ’ amby,
And the weight of the gold that was brought to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold,
14 ambone’ ty nendese’ o mpanao takinakeo naho o mpanao balibalikeo; vaho songa ninday volamena naho volafoty amy Selomò o mpanjaka’ Arabeo naho o mpifehe an-taneo.
besides what the men who were regularly appointed and the merchants brought, and all the kings of Arabia and princes of the land: all brought gold and silver to king Solomon.
15 Nandranjy fikalan-defo roanjato am-bolamena pinepèke t’i Selomò; nanoeñe volamena pinepèke, le sekele enen-jato ty fikalandefo;
And king Solomon made two hundred shields of beaten gold: there were six hundred [shekels] of pure gold to one shield.
16 vaho nanoe’e fikalandefo volamena pinepèke telon-jato; sindre sekelem-bolamena telonjato ty nanoeñe i fikalandefoñe rey; le nampizilihe’ i mpanjakay añ’ anjomban’ Ala’ i Lebanone ao.
And three hundred buckles of beaten gold: [the weight] of three hundred gold shekels went to one buckler: and the king placed them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
17 Mbore namboare’ i mpanjakay ty fiambesatse jabajaba an-tsifa vaho nipakora’e volamena ki’e.
And the king made a great throne of ivory, and he gilded it with pure gold.
18 Fanongañe eneñe ty nitroatse amy fiambesatsey, volamena ka ty fitimpahañe nirekets’ amy fiambesatsey, miharo fisampezam-pitàñe añ’ ila’e roe’ i fiambesatsey vaho liona roe ty nijohañe marine i fisampezam-pitàñe rey.
And [there were] six steps to the throne, riveted with gold, and elbows on either side of the seat of the throne, and two lions standing by the elbows:
19 Liona folo-ro’ amby ty nijohañe añ’ila roe’ i fanongañe eneñe rey, tsy eo ty nanahak’ aze ndra am-pifeheañe aia.
and twelve lions standing there on the six steps on each side. There was not the like in any [other] kingdom.
20 Songa volamena o fitovim-pikamà’ i Selomò mpanjakao vaho hene volamena ki’e o fanake añ’ anjomban’ ala’ i Lebanoneo, ie tsy am-bolafoty, fa tsy natao ho vara tañ’ andro’ i Selomò ty volafoty.
And all king Solomon's vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were covered with gold: silver was not thought anything of in the days of Solomon.
21 Nanan-tsambo nionjomb’e Tarsise mindre amo mpitoro’ i Korameo i mpanjakay; boa-telo-taoñe ty nimpolia’ o sambo’ i Tarsiseo ninday volamena naho volafoty naho tsifa naho kofe vaho toký.
For a ship went for the king to Tharsis with the servants of Chiram: once every three years came vessels from Tharsis to the king, laden with gold, and silver, and ivory, and apes.
22 Aa le nilikoare’ i Selomò an-kihitse naho vara ze hene mpanjaka’ ty tane toy.
And Solomon exceeded all [other] kings both in riches and wisdom.
23 Vaho songa nipay hiatrek’ amy Selomò o mpanjaka’ ty tane toio, hijanjiñe ze hihi’e najon’ Añahare añ’arofo’e ao.
And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
24 Le fonga ninday ravoravo mañeva ondatio: fanake volafoty naho fanake volamena naho sikiñe naho sikim-pikalañe naho fampifiriañe naho soavala vaho borìke, boa-tao-boa-taoñe.
And they brought every one his gifts, silver vessels and golden vessels, and raiment, myrrh and spices, horses and mules, a rate every year.
25 Nanan-trañon-tsoavala efats’ arivo t’i Selomò naho sarete naho mpiningitse rai-ale-tsi-roarivo, ie nampimoneña’e amo rovan-tsareteo naho amy mpanjaka e Ierosalaimey.
And Solomon had four thousand mares for chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen; and he put them in the chariot cities, and with the king in Jerusalem.
26 Nifehe’e iaby o mpanjaka boak’amy Sakay pak’an-tane’ o nte-Pelistio ampara’ ty efe-tane’ i Mitsraime añe.
And he rules over all the kings from the river even to the land of the Philistines, and to the borders of Egypt.
27 Le nanoe’ i mpanjakay hoe vato ty volafoty e Ierosalaime naho hoe sakoañe am-bavatane ao o mendoraveñeo ami’ty hamaro’e.
And the king made gold and silver in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars as the sycamore trees in the plain for abundance.
28 Le nendesa’ iareo soavala boake Mitsraime añe naho hirik’ amo tane iabio t’i Selomò mpanjaka.
And Solomon imported horses from Egypt, and from every [other] country.
29 Aa naho o fitoloña’ i Selomò ila’eo, ty valoha’e pak’ am-para’e, tsy fa sinokitse amo vinolili’ i Natane mpitokio hao naho amy fitokia’ i Akiià nte-Siloney vaho amo aroñaro’ Iedò mpitoky am’ Iarovame ana’ i Nebateo?
And the rest of the acts of Solomon, the first and the last, behold, these are written in the words of Nathan the prophet, and in the words of Achia the Selonite, and in the visions of Joel the seer concerning Jeroboam the son of Nabat.
30 Nifehe Israele iaby e Ierosalaime ao efa-polo taoñe t’i Selomò
And Solomon reigned over all Israel forty years.
31 le nitrao-piròtse aman-droae’e t’i Selomò naho nalentek’ an-drova’ i Davide rae’e ao vaho nandimbe aze nifehe t’i Rekoboame ana’e.
And Solomon fell asleep, and they buried him in the city of David his father: and Roboam his son reigned in his stead.
