2 Seenaa 9
1 Mootittiin Shebaa waaʼee maqaa Solomoon dhageenyaan gaaffiiwwan jajjaboodhaan qortee isa ilaaluuf gara Yerusaalem dhufte. Isheenis miiltoo akka malee baayʼee wajjin gaalawwan urgooftuu, warqee hedduu fi dhagaawwan gati jabeeyyii baatan fudhattee dhufte; Solomoon bira geenyaanis waan garaa ishee jiru hunda isa wajjin haasofte.
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 Solomoonis gaaffii ishee hundaaf deebii kenne; wanni inni isheef ibsuu dadhabe tokko iyyuu hin turre.
And Solomon told her all her words; and there passed not a word from Solomon which he told her not.
3 Mootittiin Shebaa yommuu ogummaa Solomoon, masaraa mootummaa kan inni ijaare,
And the queen of Saba saw the wisdom of Solomon, and the house which he had built,
4 nyaata maaddii isaa irratti dhiʼaatu, haala itti qondaaltonni isaa tataaʼan, hojjettoota uffata hojii uffatanii hojjetan, warra daadhii isaaf dhiʼeessanii fi aarsaa gubamu kan inni mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessatti dhiʼeesse argitetti akka malee dinqisiifatte.
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 Isheenis mootichaan akkana jette; “Oduun ani waaʼee waan ati hojjetteetii fi waaʼee ogummaa keetii biyyuma kootti dhagaʼe sun dhugaa dha.
And she said to the king, [It was] a true report which I heard in my land concerning thy words, and concerning thy wisdom.
6 Ani garuu hamman dhufee ijuma kootiin argutti waan isaan jedhan sana hin amanne. Dhugumaan guddina ogummaa keetii keessaa walakkaan isaa iyyuu natti hin himamne; ati oduu ani dhagaʼe sana akka malee caalta.
Yet I believed not the reports until I came, and my eyes saw: and, behold, the half of the abundance of thy wisdom was not told me: thou hast exceeded the report which I heard.
7 Namoonni kee hammam haa gammadan! Qondaaltonni kee warri yeroo hunda fuula kee dura dhadhaabatanii ogummaa kee dhagaʼan hammam haa gammadan!
Blessed [are] thy men, blessed [are] these thy servants, who stand before thee continually, and hear thy wisdom.
8 Waaqayyo Waaqni kee inni sitti gammadee akka ati mootii taatee Waaqayyo Waaqa keetiif bulchituuf teessoo isaa irra si teessise sun haa galateeffamu. Waaqni kee sababii Israaʼeliif jaalala qabuu fi sababii bara baraan jabeessee isaan dhaabuuf fedhii qabuuf akka ati murtii qajeelaa fi qajeelummaa eegduuf isaan irratti mootii si godheera.”
Blessed be the Lord thy God, who took pleasure in thee, to set thee upon his throne for a king, to the Lord thy God: forasmuch as the Lord thy God loved Israel to establish them for ever, therefore he has set thee over them for a king to execute judgment and justice.
9 Isheenis warqee taalaantii 120, urgooftuu akka malee baayʼee fi dhagaawwan gati jabeeyyii mootichaaf kennite. Urgooftuun akka urgooftuu mootittiin Shebaa Solomoon Mootichaaf kennite sanaa gonkumaa hin argamne.
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 Namoonni Hiiraamii fi namoonni Solomoon biyya Oofiir irraa warqee fidan; akkasumas muka sandaliitii fi dhagaawwan gati jabeeyyii ni fidan.
And the servants of Solomon and the servants of Chiram brought gold to Solomon out of Suphir, and pine timber, and precious stones.
11 Mootichis muka sandalii sana gulantaawwan mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootii fi kan masaraa mootummaa, akkasumas baganaa fi kiraara faarfattootaa tolchuuf itti fayyadame. Wanni akkasiis takkumaa Yihuudaa keessatti hin argamne.
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 Solomoon Mootichis waan isheen barbaaddee fi waan isheen kadhatte hunda mootittii Shebaatiif ni kenne; inni waan isheen isaaf geessite caalaa kenneef. Isheenis ergasii kaatee miiltota ishee wajjin biyya ofii isheetti deebite.
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 Ulfinni warqee kan wagguma waggaan Solomooniif galu taalaantii 666 ture;
And the weight of the gold that was brought to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold,
14 kunis gibira daldaltoota qabeenya gurguddaatii fi kan warra qabeenya xixinnaa irraa argamuu hin dabalatu. Akkasumas mootonni Arabaa fi bulchitoonni biyyaa hundi Solomooniif warqee fi meetii ni fidan.
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 Solomoon Mootichis warqee tumame irraa gaachanawwan gurguddaa dhibba lama ni tolche; tokkoon tokkoon gaachanawwan sanaas warqee saqilii dhibba jaʼa fixe.
And king Solomon made two hundred shields of beaten gold: there were six hundred [shekels] of pure gold to one shield.
16 Akkasumas warqee tumame irraa gaachana xixinnaa dhibba sadii ni tolche. Tokkoon tokkoon gaachana sanaas warqee saqilii dhibba sadii fixe. Mootichis gaachanawwan kanneen Masaraa mootummaa kan Bosona Libaanoon keessa ni kaaʼe.
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 Mootichis teessoo guddaa tokko ilka arbaa irraa hojjetee warqee qulqulluu itti uffise.
And the king made a great throne of ivory, and he gilded it with pure gold.
18 Teessoon sun gulantaawwan jaʼa qaba ture; ejjenni miillaa kan warqee irraa hojjetame tokkos itti qabsiifamee ture. Karaa teessoo sanaa lamaaniinis waan harka irra kaaʼatanitu ture; tokkoo tokkoo waan harka irra kaaʼatan sanaa biras fakkii leencaa tokko tokkotu dhaabatee ture.
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 Gulantaawwan jaʼaan sana irras leenconni kudha lama tokko fiixee tokkoon, fakkiin kaan immoo fiixee kaaniin dhadhaabachaa turan. Wanni akkasii takkumaa mootummaa biraa kamiif iyyuu hin tolfamne.
and twelve lions standing there on the six steps on each side. There was not the like in any [other] kingdom.
20 Miʼi Solomoon Mootichi ittiin dhugu hundinuu warqee irraa hojjetame; miʼi Masaraa mootummaa kan Bosona Libaanoon jedhamu sanaa hundi immoo warqee qulqulluu irraa hojjetame. Sababii bara Solomoon keessa meetiin akka waan gatii hin qabne tokkootti ilaalamaa tureef wanni tokko iyyuu meetii irraa hin hojjetamne.
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 Mootichis dooniiwwan daldalaa kanneen namoonni Huuraam oofan qaba ture. Isaanis waggaa sadii sadiitti yeroo tokko warqee, meetii fi ilka arbaa, qamalee fi jaldeessa fidanii ni dhufu ture.
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 Solomoon Mootichi badhaadhummaa fi ogummaadhaan mootota addunyaa hunda ni caala ture.
And Solomon exceeded all [other] kings both in riches and wisdom.
23 Mootonni addunyaa hundi ogummaa Waaqni garaa isaa keessa kaaʼe dhagaʼuuf Solomoon bira dhufuu barbaadu ture.
And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
24 Namni waggaa waggaatti isa bira dhufu hundinuu kennaa miʼa meetii fi kan warqee, uffata, miʼa lolaa, urgooftuu, fardeenii fi gaangolii fidaafii ture.
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 Solomoon gola fardeenii fi gaariiwwanii kuma afur akkasumas fardeen kuma kudha lama kanneen magaalaawwan gaariiwwanii keessaa fi of bira Yerusaalem keessa kaaʼate qaba ture.
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 Innis mootota Laga Efraaxiisiitii hamma biyya Filisxeemotaattii fi hamma daarii Gibxitti jiran hunda ni bulche.
And he rules over all the kings from the river even to the land of the Philistines, and to the borders of Egypt.
27 Mootichi akka meetiin Yerusaalem keessatti akkuma dhagaa baayʼatu, akka mukni birbirsaas akkuma mukkeen harbuu kanneen gaarran jalaatti baayʼatu ni godhe.
And the king made gold and silver in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars as the sycamore trees in the plain for abundance.
28 Fardeen Solomoon Gibxii fi biyyoota biraa hunda irraa bitamanii dhufan.
And Solomon imported horses from Egypt, and from every [other] country.
29 Wanni bara mootummaa Solomoon keessa hojjetaman kan biraa, jalqabaa hamma dhumaatti kitaaba seenaa Naataan raajichaa keessatti, raajii Ahiiyaa namicha Shiiloo sanaa keessattii fi mulʼata Iddoon namichi waa himu sun waaʼee Yerobiʼaam ilma Nebaat arge keessatti barreeffamanii jiru mitii?
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 Solomoon Yerusaalem keessatti mootii taʼee waggaa afurtama saba Israaʼel hunda ni bulche.
And Solomon reigned over all Israel forty years.
31 Innis ergasii abbootii isaa wajjin boqotee magaalaa abbaa isaa, magaalaa Daawit keessatti ni awwaalame. Rehooboʼaam ilmi isaa iddoo isaa buʼee mootii ni taʼe.
And Solomon fell asleep, and they buried him in the city of David his father: and Roboam his son reigned in his stead.
