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 Sheba has heard of the fame of Solomon, and comes to Jerusalem to try Solomon with acute sayings, with a very great company, and camels carrying spices and gold in abundance, and precious stone; and she comes to Solomon, and speaks with him all that has been with her heart,
2 Tinoi’ i Selomò aze iaby ontane’eo vaho tsy eo ty raha nietak’ amy Selomò ty tsy nampandrendreha’e.
and Solomon declares all her matters to her, and there has not been hid a thing from Solomon that he has not declared to her.
3 Ie nioni’ i mpanjaka-ampela’ i Sebày ty hihi’ i Selomò naho i anjomba’ niranjie’ey,
And the queen of Sheba sees the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he has 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 food of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the standing of his ministers, and their clothing, and his stewards, and their clothing, and his burnt-offering that he offered up in the house of YHWH, and there has not been anymore spirit in her.
5 Le hoe re amy mpanjakay, Talily to ty nitsanoñeko an-taneko añe ty amo fitoloña’oo naho o hihi’oo,
And she says to the king, “The word [is] true that I heard in my land concerning your matters 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.
and I have given no credence to their words until I have come and my eyes see, and behold, there has not been declared to me the half of the abundance of your wisdom—you have added to the report that I heard.
7 Haha ondati’oo naho fale o mpitoro’o mijohañe nainai’e añatrefa’oo, mijanjiñe o hihi’oo.
O the blessedness of your men, and the blessedness of your servants—these—who are standing before you continually, and hearing 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.
Let your God YHWH be blessed who has delighted in you to put you on His throne for king for your God YHWH; in the love of your God to Israel, to establish it for all time, He has put you over them for king, to do judgment and righteousness.”
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 gives to the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices in great abundance, and precious stone; and there has not been any such spice as the queen of Sheba has given to King Solomon.
10 Ninday hatae màñitse naho vatosoa ka o mpitoro’ i Korame naho mpitoro’ i Selomò mpinday volamena boake Ofireo.
And also, servants of Huram, and servants of Solomon, who brought in gold from Ophir, have brought in algum-trees and precious stone.
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 makes the algum-trees [into] staircases for the house of YHWH, and for the house of the king, and harps and psalteries for singers; and there have been none seen like these before in the land of Judah.
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 has given to the queen of Sheba all her desire that she asked, apart from that which she had brought to the king, and she turns and goes to her land, she and her servants.
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 is coming to Solomon in one year is 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.
apart from [what] the tourists and the merchants are bringing in; and all the kings of Arabia, and the governors of the land, are bringing in gold and silver to Solomon.
15 Nandranjy fikalan-defo roanjato am-bolamena pinepèke t’i Selomò; nanoeñe volamena pinepèke, le sekele enen-jato ty fikalandefo;
And King Solomon makes two hundred bucklers of alloyed gold—he causes six hundred [shekels] of alloyed gold to go up on the one buckler;
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 shields of alloyed gold—he causes three hundred [shekels] of gold to go up on the one shield, and the king puts 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 makes a great throne of ivory, and overlays 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 six steps [are] to the throne, and a footstool of gold, [and] they are fastened to the throne; and [places for] hands [are] on this [side] and on that [side] on the place of the sitting, and two lions are standing near the hands,
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 are standing there on the six steps on this [side] and on that [side]: it has not been made so for any 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 the drinking vessels of King Solomon [are] of gold, and all the vessels of the House of the Forest of Lebanon [are] of refined gold—silver is not reckoned in the days of Solomon for anything;
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 ships of the king are going to Tarshish with servants of Huram: once in three years the ships of Tarshish come carrying gold, and silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks [[or monkeys]].
22 Aa le nilikoare’ i Selomò an-kihitse naho vara ze hene mpanjaka’ ty tane toy.
And King Solomon becomes greater than any of the kings of the earth for 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 are seeking the presence of Solomon to hear his wisdom that God has 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 are each bringing in his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, harness, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by 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 there are four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen for Solomon, and he placed them in cities of the chariot, 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 is ruling over all the kings from the River even to the land of the Philistines, and to the border 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 makes the silver in Jerusalem as stones, and he has made the cedars as sycamores that [are] in the low country, for abundance,
28 Le nendesa’ iareo soavala boake Mitsraime añe naho hirik’ amo tane iabio t’i Selomò mpanjaka.
and they are bringing out horses from Egypt to Solomon, and from all the lands.
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 matters of Solomon, the first and the last, are they not written beside the matters of Nathan the prophet, and beside the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and with the visions of Iddo the seer concerning Jeroboam son of Nebat?
30 Nifehe Israele iaby e Ierosalaime ao efa-polo taoñe t’i Selomò
And Solomon reigns in Jerusalem over all Israel [for] 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 lies with his fathers, and they bury him in the city of his father David, and his son Rehoboam reigns in his stead.
