1 Kingi 10

1 A, no te rongonga o te Kuini o Hepa ki te rongo o Horomona, ki tana i mea ai mo te ingoa o Ihowa, ka haere mai ia ki te whakamatau i a ia ki nga kupu pakeke.

And the queen of Sheba is hearing of the fame of Solomon concerning the Name of YHWH, and comes to try him with enigmas,

2 Na haere mai ana ia ki Hiruharama, nui atu hoki te tira, he kamera e waha ana i nga mea kakara, i tona nui o te koura, i te kohatu utu nui; na, i tona haerenga ki a Horomona, ka korerotia e ia ki a ia nga mea katoa i roto i tona ngakau.

and she comes to Jerusalem, with a very great company, camels carrying spices, and very much gold, and precious stone, and she comes to Solomon, and speaks to him all that has been with her heart.

3 A whakaaturia ana e Horomona ki a ia te tikanga o ana kupu katoa, kahore he kupu i ngaro i te kingi, i kore te whakaatu ki a ia.

And Solomon declares to her all her matters—there has not been a thing hid from the king that he has not declared to her.

4 A, no te kitenga o te Kuini o Hepa i te mohio katoa o Horomona, i te whare hoki i hanga e ia,

And the queen of Sheba sees all the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he built,

5 I te kai o tana tepu, i te nohoanga o ana tangata, i te turanga o ana kaimahi, i o ratou kakahu, i ana kairiringi waina, i tona pikitanga i piki atu ai ki te whare o Ihowa, kore ake he wairua i roto i a ia.

and the food of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the standing of his ministers, and their clothing, and his butlers, and his burnt-offering that he causes to ascend in the house of YHWH, and there has not been anymore spirit in her.

6 A ka mea ia ki te kingi, Pono tonu nga mea i rongo ai ahau i toku whenua mo au mahi, mo tou mohio.

And she says to the king, “The word that I heard in my land has been true concerning your matters and your wisdom;

7 Heoi kihai ahau i whakapono ki aua korero, a tae noa mai ahau, kite noa oku kanohi. Nana, kihai te hawhe i korerotia ki ahau; nui atu tou mohio, tou pai, i te rongo i rongo ai ahau.

and I gave no credence to the words until I have come, and my eyes see, and behold, not [even] half was declared to me; you have added wisdom and goodness to the report that I heard.

8 Ano te hari o au tangata, ano te hari o enei pononga au e tu tonu nei i tou aroaro, e whakarongo nei ki tou mohio!

O the blessedness of your men, O the blessedness of your servants—these—who are standing before you continually, who are hearing your wisdom!

9 Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa, tou Atua i whakaahuareka nei ki a koe, i homai nei i a koe ki runga ki te torona o Iharaira; he aroha mau tonu hoki no Ihowa ki a Iharaira, na meinga ana koe e ia hei kingi, hei nahi i te whakawa, i te tika.

Your God YHWH is blessed, who delighted in you, to put you on the throne of Israel; in YHWH’s loving Israel for all time He sets you for king, to do judgment and righteousness.”

10 Na homai ana e ia ki te kingi kotahi rau e rua tekau taranata koura, tona tini o nga mea kakara, me nga kohatu utu nui; kahore he mea kakara i tae mai i muri nei hei rite te nui ki enei i homai nei e te Kuini o Hepa ki a Kingi Horomona.

And she gives to the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold, and very many spices, and precious stone; there never again came in abundance like that spice that the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.

11 A na nga kaipuke o Hirama nana nei i mau mai te koura i Opira, na reira ano i kawe mai nga raku aramuka me nga kohatu utu nui i Opira, tona tini.

And also, the navy of Hiram that bore gold from Ophir, brought in very much almug-trees and precious stone from Ophir;

12 Na ka hanga aua rakau aramuka e te kingi hei pou mo te whare o Ihowa, mo te whare ano o te kingi, he hapa, hei hatere, he mea ma nga kaiwaiata: kahore ano i tae noa mai he rakau aramuka hei rite, kahore hoki i kitea i mua, a taea noatia tenei ra.

and the king makes the almug-trees a support for the house of YHWH, and for the house of the king, and harps and psalteries for singers; there have not come such almug-trees, nor have there been seen [such] to this day.

13 Na ka hoatu e Kingi Horomona ki te Kuini o Hepa nga mea katoa i pai ai ia, ana hoki i tono ai, he tapiri ki runga ki nga mea i hoatu e te ringa o Kingi Horomona ki a ia. Heoi ka tahuri ia, a haere ana ratou ko ana tangata ki tona whenua.

And King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire that she asked, apart from that which he gave to her as a memorial of King Solomon, and she turns and goes to her land, she and her servants.

14 Na, ko te taimaha o te koura i tae ki a Horomona i te tau kotahi, e ono rau e ono tekau ma ono taranata koura;

And the weight of the gold that has come to Solomon in one year is six hundred sixty-six talents of gold,

15 Haunga a nga kairapu taonga, i mau mai ai me nga taonga a nga kaihokohoko, a nga kingi katoa o Arapia, a nga kawana o te whenua.

apart from [that of] the tourists, and of the traffic of the merchants, and of all the kings of Arabia, and of the governors of the land.

16 Na ka hanga e Kingi Horomona etahi pukupuku, e rua rau, he mea patu te koura: e ono rau nga hekere koura ki te pukupuku kotahi.

And King Solomon makes two hundred bucklers of alloyed gold—six hundred [shekels] of gold go up on the one buckler;

17 A i hangaia e ia etahi pukupuku iti iho e toru rau, he mea patu te koura: e toru pauna koura ki te pukupuku kotahi: a hoatu ana e te kingi ki te whare o te ngahere o Repanona.

and three hundred shields of alloyed gold—three pounds of gold go up on the one shield; and the king puts them [in] the House of the Forest of Lebanon.

18 A i hanga e te kingi tetahi torona nui ki te rei, whakakikoruatia iho ki te koura pai rawa.

And the king makes a great throne of ivory, and overlays it with refined gold;

19 E ono nga kaupae ki te torona, he mea porotaka a runga o muri o te torona; he okiokinga ringa ano kei te wahi e nohoia ana, i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha, e rua ano nga raiona e tu ana i te taha o nga okiokinga.

the throne has six steps, and a round top [is] to the throne behind it, and hands [are] on this [side] and on that, to the place of the sitting, and two lions are standing near the hands,

20 Kotahi tekau ma rua hoki nga raiona i reira e tu ana i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha, i runga i nga kaupae e ono; kahore he mea pera i hanga i tetahi atu rangatiratanga.

and twelve lions are standing there on the six steps, on this [side] and on that; it has not been made so for any kingdom.

21 Na, ko nga oko inu katoa a kingi Horomona, he koura kau; me nga oko katoa o te whare o te ngahere o Repanona, he koura parakore; kahore he hiriwa: kihai tera i kiia he mea nui nga ra o Horomona.

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—there are none of silver; it was not reckoned in the days of Solomon for anything,

22 He maha hoki a te kingi kaipuke ki Tarahihi i te moana, he mea huihui ki nga kaipuke a Hirama: kotahi te unga mai i nga tau e toru o nga kaipuke o Tarahihi, hei kawe mai i te koura, i te hiriwa, i te rei, i nga makimaki, me nga pikake.

for the king has a navy of Tarshish at sea with a navy of Hiram; once in three years the navy of Tarshish comes, carrying gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks [[or monkeys]].

23 Na nui atu a Kingi Horomona i nga kingi katoa o te whenua te whai taonga, te mohio.

And King Solomon is greater than any of the kings of the earth for riches and for wisdom,

24 I whaia ano a Horomona e nga whenua katoa, kia rongo ai ratou i tona mohio i homai nei e te Atua ki tona ngakau.

and all the earth is seeking the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom that God has put into his heart,

25 Me te kawe mai ano ratou i tana hakari, i tana hakari, i nga oko hiriwa, i nga oko koura, i nga kakahu, i nga mea mo te whawhai, i nga kakara reka, i nga hoiho, i nga muera, he mea tatau a tau tonu.

and they are each bringing his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and armor, and spices, horses, and mules, the matter of a year in a year.

26 Na ka amia e Horomona he hariata, he kaieke hoiho: kotahi mano e wha rau ana hariata, tekau ma rua mano nga kainoho hoiho, he mea wehe nana ki nga pa hariata, ki te kingi hoki, ki Hiruharama.

And Solomon gathers chariots, and horsemen, and he has one thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, and he places them in the cities of the chariot, and with the king in Jerusalem.

27 Na meinga ana te hiriwa e te kingi ki Hiruharama kia rite ki te kohatu; i meinga ano e ia nga hita kia rite ki te hokamora i te raorao te tini.

And the king makes the silver in Jerusalem as stones, and he has made the cedars as the sycamores that [are] in the low country, for abundance.

28 A, ko nga hoiho o Horomona, he mea mau mai i Ihipa; na nga kaihoko a te kingi i tango kahui mai, tena kahui me tona utu.

And the outgoing of the horses that King Solomon has [is] from Egypt, and from Keveh; merchants of the king take from Keveh at a price;

29 Na e ono rau nga hekere hiriwa i riro ai te hariata i puta ai i Ihipa, kotahi rau e rima tekau i riro ai te hoiho: ko ratou hei kawe mo nga kingi katoa o nga Hiti, mo nga kingi o Hiria.

and a chariot comes up and comes out of Egypt for six hundred pieces of silver, and a horse for one hundred and fifty, and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Aram; they bring out by their hand.
