Bere a Seba hemmea tee Salomo nka no, ɔbaa Yerusalem sɛ ɔde nsɛm a anoyi yɛ den rebɛsɔ no ahwɛ. Ɔne nʼasomfo bebree, yoma pii a wɔahyehyɛ nnuhuam, sikakɔkɔɔ bebree ne mpempranne wɔ wɔn so na ɛbae.
2 USolomoni wayiphendula yonke imibuzo yayo, akubanga lalutho olwaba nzima ukuthi aluchasisele yona.
Ohyiaa Salomo no, wodii biribiara a enti ɔbaa saa nsrahwɛ no ho nkɔmmɔ, maa Salomo yii ne nsɛmmisa nyinaa ano sɛnea ɛsɛ.
3 Inkosikazi yaseShebha isibonile konke ukuhlakanipha kukaSolomoni, lesigodlo ayesakhile,
Bere a Sebahemmea huu sɛnea Salomo adwene mu dɔ, ne ahemfi a wasi no,
4 lokudla kwakhe, lokuhlaliswa kwezinduna zakhe, lokuhlelwa kwezinceku zakhe lezigqoko zazo, labaphathi benkezo lezigqoko zabo, leminikelo yokutshiswa ayeyinikela ethempelini likaThixo, kwayiqeda amandla.
ne ho dwiriw no. Ohuu nnuan a esisi ne didipon so no, sɛnea watoto nʼadwumayɛfo ne ntade fɛɛfɛ a wɔhyehyɛ, kuruwakurafo ne wɔn ntade yuu ne ɔhyew afɔre a Salomo abɔ wɔ Awurade Asɔredan mu no, ɛyɛɛ no nwonwa.
5 Yathi enkosini, “Imibiko ebifika ezindlebeni zami elizweni lami ngengqubelaphambili langenhlakanipho yakho iqotho.
Ofi ahodwiriw mu ka kyerɛɛ ɔhene no se, “Biribiara a metee wɔ me kurom a ɛfa nea woatumi ayɛ ne wo nyansa ho no yɛ nokware.
6 Ngibe ngingayikholwa leyo mbiko ngaze ngazibonela ngawami amehlo. Ngeqiniso, akufiki engxenyeni engikuzwileyo ngokujula kwenhlakanipho yakho; engikubonileyo kwedlula engakuzwayo ngawe ngokuphindwe kanengi.
Mannye anni kosii sɛ mʼankasa mebaa ha de mʼani kann abehu. Nokware, mante emu fa mpo. Wo nyansa no boro nea wɔka kyerɛɛ me no so koraa.
7 Yeka ukujabula kwabantu bakho! Yeka ziyadela izikhulu zakho, ezihlezi zimi phambi kwakho zizizwela inhlakanipho yakho!
Migye di sɛ ɛsɛ sɛ wo nkurɔfo yi ani gye! Ɛyɛ adom ma wʼadwumayɛfo yi sɛ wotumi bɛn wo adekyee biara na wotie wo nyansasɛm.
8 Udumo kuThixo uNkulunkulu wakho, obe lokuthokoza ngawe wakufaka esihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi ukuba ube yinkosi ubusele uThixo uNkulunkulu wakho. Ngenxa yothando lukaNkulunkulu wakho ngo-Israyeli, lokuzimisela ukubamela kuze kube nininini, ukubekile waba yinkosi phezu kwabo, ukuze ulondoloze ukwahlulela ngemfanelo langokulunga.”
Awurade, wo Nyankopɔn yɛ ɔkɛse ampa. Nʼani gye wo ho nti, ɔde wo asi ahengua so sɛ di hene ma no. Efisɛ Onyankopɔn pɛ Israel asɛm dodo, na ɔpɛ sɛ saa ahenni yi tena afebɔɔ; wasi wo hene sɛnea wode nokware ne atɛntrenee bebu ɔman no.”
9 Indlovukazi yasinika uSolomoni amathalenta egolide alikhulu elilamatshumi amabili, iziyoliso ezinengi, lamatshe aligugu. Kwakungakaze kube leziyoliso ezinjengalezo ezaphiwa inkosi uSolomoni yindlovukazi yaseShebha.
Afei, ɔmaa ɔhene no sikakɔkɔɔ akyɛde a ɛkari tɔn 4 ne nnuhuam pii ne aboɔden mpempranne. Seba hemmea nnuhuam a ɔde maa Salomo no so bi mmaa da.
10 (Izinceku zikaHiramu lezikaSolomoni zaletha igolide livela e-Ofiri; zaletha lezigodo zomʼaligumu lamatshe aligugu.
Bere a Huram hyɛn mufo ne Salomo nkurɔfo de sikakɔkɔɔ fi Ofir bae no, wɔde ɔbako nnua pa bebree ne mpempranne kaa ho bae.
11 Inkosi yasebenzisa izigodo zomʼaligumu ukwakha inyathelo lethempeli likaThixo lenyathelo lesigodlo sesikhosini, kanye lokwenza imihubhe lemiqangala yabahlabeleli. Kwakungakaze kubonakale okunjengalokhu kwelakoJuda).
Ɔhene no de ɔbako nnua no yɛɛ Awurade Asɔredan ne ahemfi no atrapoe. Ɔde bi nso yɛɛ asankuten ne mmɛnta maa nnwom ho nimdefo no. Na saa nnwontode no so bi mmaa da wɔ Yuda.
12 Inkosi uSolomoni yapha inkosikazi yaseShebha okwedlula lokho eyayikucelile, kwakukunengi kugabhela lokho ayekuphathelwe yinkosikazi. Yavalelisa-ke inkosikazi yabuyela elizweni layo lobhobo lwezindwendwe zayo.
Biribiara a Seba hemmea bisaa ɔhene Salomo no, ɔde maa no. Na ɛyɛ akyɛde a ɛsom bo pa ara, na ɛboro nea ɔhemmea de brɛɛ no no so. Afei, ɔhemmea no ne nʼasomfo no san kɔɔ wɔn ankasa asase so.
13 Isisindo segolide elalifika kuSolomoni minyaka yonke lalingamathalenta angamakhulu ayisithupha lamatshumi ayisithupha lasithupha,
Afe biara, na sikakɔkɔɔ a ɛba Salomo nsam no yɛ tɔn aduonu anum.
14 kungabalwa inzuzo eyayivela emithelweni yabathengisi labathengi. Kunjalo-nje amakhosi ase-Arabhiya leziphathamandla zelizwe zaletha igolide lesiliva kuSolomoni.
Na sika a onya fi aguadifo nkyɛn no nka eyi ho. Na Arabia ahemfo nyinaa ne amradofo a wɔwɔ asase no so nyinaa brɛ Salomo sikakɔkɔɔ ne dwetɛ.
15 Inkosi uSolomoni yenza amahawu amakhulu angamakhulu amabili ngegolide elikhandiweyo; lilinye langena amashekeli angamakhulu ayisithupha.
Ɔhene Salomo ma wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ a wɔaboro yɛɛ akyɛm akɛse ahannu a emu biara sikakɔkɔɔ a ɛwɔ mu no mu duru yɛ kilogram ason.
16 Inkosi yasisenza ezinye ezincinyane ezingamakhulu amathathu ngegolide elikhandiweyo, sisinye sithatha amashekeli egolide elikhandiweyo angamakhulu amathathu. Inkosi yazibeka eSigodlweni saseGuswini laseLebhanoni.
Ɔsan yɛɛ sikakɔkɔɔ nkatabo nketewa ahaasa a wɔde asae aboro a na sikakɔkɔɔ a wɔde yɛɛ emu biara no mu duru bɛyɛ kilogram abiɛsa ne fa. Ɔhene no kɔkoraa saa nkatabo no wɔ Lebanon Kwae Ahemfi mu.
17 Ngakho inkosi yasisenza isihlalo esikhulu sinanyekwe ngempondo zendlovu ngaphakathi kodwa ngaphandle kuligolide elihle.
Afei, ɔhene no de asonse yɛɛ ahengua kɛse bi, na ɔde sikakɔkɔɔ ankasa guu ho.
18 Isihlalo sobukhosi sasilezinyathelo eziyisithupha njalo kulesenabelo segolide esasixhunywe kuso. Emaceleni esihlalo kwakulezeyamelo zengalo, yileso laleso kumi isilwane eceleni kwaso.
Na ahengua no wɔ atrapoe asia a wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ ntiasode afam ho. Ahengua no wɔ nsa wɔ benkum. Ne nifa na gyata sɛso nso gyinagyina afa ne fa wɔ ahengua no ho.
19 Izilwane ezilitshumi lambili zazimi kulawomakhwelelo ayisithupha, sisinye simi nganxanye kwekhwelelo ngalinye. Kakukho okunjalo okwakuke kwenzekala loba kuwuphi umbuso.
Salomo san yɛɛ gyata sɛso dumien a ɔbaako biara gyina atrapoe ntiaso asia no mu biara benkum ne nifa. Ahengua biara nni wiase a wobetumi de atoto Salomo de no ho.
20 Zonke inkezo zenkosi uSolomoni zazingezegolide, lazozonke izitsha zeSigodlweni saseGuswini laseLebhanoni zazingezegolide elicolekileyo. Akukho okwakwenziwe ngesiliva ngoba ngensuku zikaSolomoni igugu lesiliva lalilincinyane kakhulu.
Ɔhene Salomo nkuruwa nyinaa, sikakɔkɔɔ na wɔde yɛe. Saa ara na nneɛma ahorow a ɛwɔ Lebanon Kwae Ahemfi mu no nso te. Wɔamfa dwetɛ anyɛ, efisɛ Salomo bere so no, na wobu dwetɛ ade teta bi.
21 Inkosi yayilodibi lwemikhumbi yezokuthengiselana eyayigwedlwa ngabantu bakaHiramu. Yayiphenduka kanye ngemva kohambo lweminyaka emithathu, iphenduka ithwele igolide, isiliva lempondo zendlovu, inkawu lendwangu.
Na ɔhene no wɔ aguadi ahyɛn a emu adwumayɛfo yɛ Huram asomfo. Mfe abiɛsa biara, ahyɛn no ba a, wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ, dwetɛ, asonse, nsoroboa ne asibe brɛ ɔhene no.
22 Inkosi uSolomoni yawedlula wonke amakhosi omhlaba ngenotho langenhlakanipho.
Enti ɔhene Salomo bɛyɛɛ ɔdefo ne onyansafo sen ɔhene biara wɔ asase so nyinaa.
23 Amakhosi wonke omhlaba eza kuSolomoni ukuzokuzwa inhlakanipho uNkulunkulu ayeyifake enhliziyweni yakhe.
Ahemfo fifi aman nyinaa so bɛsraa no, tiee ne nyansasɛm a Onyankopɔn de adom no no bi.
24 Minyaka yonke amlethela izipho zesiliva lezegolide, izembatho, izikhali leziyoliso, lamabhiza kanye lezimbongolo.
Afe biara, obiara a ɔbɛba abɛsra no no, ɔbrɛ no akyɛde te sɛ dwetɛ, sikakɔkɔɔ, ntade, akode, nnuhuam, apɔnkɔ ne funumpɔnkɔ.
25 USolomoni wayelezibaya zamabhiza lezezinqola zokulwa ezizinkulungwane ezine, kanye lamabhiza azinkulungwane ezilitshumi lambili, ayekugcina emizini yezinqola zokulwa okunye njalo kukuye khonapho eJerusalema.
Na Salomo wɔ apɔnkɔdan mpem anan a ne nteaseɛnam apɔnkɔ da mu ne apɔnkɔ mpem dumien. Ɔde mu fa kɛse no kɔɔ nkurow a ne nteaseɛnam wɔ mu, na ɔmaa bi nso bɛn no wɔ Yerusalem.
26 Wabusa wonke amakhosi kusukela emfuleni iYufrathe kusiya elizweni lamaFilistiya, lasemngceleni weGibhithe.
Odii hene bunkam faa ahemfo nyinaa so, fi Asubɔnten Eufrate ano de kosi Filistifo asase ne Misraim hye so.
27 Inkosi yandisa isiliva kwangani ngamatshe eJerusalema, lezihlahla zomsedari zanda kwangani yizihlahla zomkhiwa wesikhamore emawatheni ezintaba.
Ɔhene no maa dwetɛ buu so ma ɛyɛɛ sɛ abo wɔ Yerusalem. Sida nnua nso, onya ma ebuu ne so te sɛ ankye nnua a enyin wɔ Yuda mmepɔw ase no.
28 USolomoni wayezuza amabhiza ayevela eGibhithe lakuwo wonke amanye amazwe.
Na wɔtɔ Salomo apɔnkɔ fi Misraim ne aman ahorow bebree so.
29 Ezinye izehlakalo ezenzakala ekubuseni kukaSolomoni kazilotshwanga yini kusukela ekuqaleni kuze kube sekucineni, ezindabeni zomlandu kaNathani umphrofethi, lasesiphrofethini sika-Ahija waseShilo, lasemibonweni ka-Ido umboni emayelana loJerobhowamu indodana kaNebhathi?
Salomo ahenni ho nsɛm nkae, fi mfiase kosi awiei no, wɔankyerɛw angu odiyifo Natan nhoma, Ahiya a ofi Silon adiyisɛm ne nhumuni Ido anisoadehu a ɛfa Nebat babarima Yeroboam ho no mu ana?
30 USolomoni wabusa u-Israyeli wonke eJerusalema okweminyaka engamatshumi amane.
Salomo tenaa Yerusalem dii Israel nyinaa so hene mfirihyia aduanan.
31 Waya kwabaphansi, wangcwatshwa emzini kaDavida uyise. URehobhowami indodana yakhe waba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.
Owui no, wosiee no wɔ nʼagya Dawid kurom. Ne babarima Rehoboam na odii nʼade sɛ ɔhene.
