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.
When the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to test Solomon with hard questions at Jerusalem, with a very great caravan, including camels that bore spices, gold in abundance, and precious stones. When she had come to Solomon, she talked with him about all that was in her heart.
2 Solomoonis gaaffii ishee hundaaf deebii kenne; wanni inni isheef ibsuu dadhabe tokko iyyuu hin turre.
Solomon answered all her questions. There wasn’t anything hidden from Solomon which he didn’t tell her.
3 Mootittiin Shebaa yommuu ogummaa Solomoon, masaraa mootummaa kan inni ijaare,
When the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, the house that 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.
the food of his table, the seating of his servants, the attendance of his ministers, their clothing, his cup bearers and their clothing, and his ascent by which he went up to Yahweh’s house, there was no more spirit in her.
5 Isheenis mootichaan akkana jette; “Oduun ani waaʼee waan ati hojjetteetii fi waaʼee ogummaa keetii biyyuma kootti dhagaʼe sun dhugaa dha.
She said to the king, “It was a true report that I heard in my own land of your acts and of your 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.
However I didn’t believe their words until I came, and my eyes had seen it; and behold half of the greatness of your wisdom wasn’t told me. You exceed the fame that I heard!
7 Namoonni kee hammam haa gammadan! Qondaaltonni kee warri yeroo hunda fuula kee dura dhadhaabatanii ogummaa kee dhagaʼan hammam haa gammadan!
Happy are your men, and happy are these your servants, who stand continually before you and hear your 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 Yahweh your God, who delighted in you and set you on his throne to be king for Yahweh your God, because your God loved Israel, to establish them forever. Therefore he made you king over them, to do justice and righteousness.”
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.
She gave the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold, spices in great abundance, and precious stones. There was never before such spice as the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.
10 Namoonni Hiiraamii fi namoonni Solomoon biyya Oofiir irraa warqee fidan; akkasumas muka sandaliitii fi dhagaawwan gati jabeeyyii ni fidan.
The servants of Huram and the servants of Solomon, who brought gold from Ophir, also brought algum trees 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.
The king used algum tree wood to make terraces for Yahweh’s house and for the king’s house, and harps and stringed instruments for the singers. There were none like these seen before in the land of Judah.
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.
King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she asked, more than that which she had brought to the king. So she turned and went to her own land, she and her servants.
13 Ulfinni warqee kan wagguma waggaan Solomooniif galu taalaantii 666 ture;
Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred 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.
in addition to that which the traders and merchants brought. All the kings of Arabia and the governors of the country brought gold and silver to Solomon.
15 Solomoon Mootichis warqee tumame irraa gaachanawwan gurguddaa dhibba lama ni tolche; tokkoon tokkoon gaachanawwan sanaas warqee saqilii dhibba jaʼa fixe.
King Solomon made two hundred large shields of beaten gold. Six hundred shekels of beaten gold went to one large 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.
He made three hundred shields of beaten gold. Three hundred shekels of gold went to one shield. The king put them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon.
17 Mootichis teessoo guddaa tokko ilka arbaa irraa hojjetee warqee qulqulluu itti uffise.
Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid 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.
There were six steps to the throne, with a footstool of gold, which were fastened to the throne, and armrests on either side by the place of the seat, and two lions standing beside the armrests.
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.
Twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other on the six steps. There was nothing like it made 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.
All King Solomon’s drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the House of the Forest of Lebanon were of pure gold. Silver was not considered valuable 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 the king had ships that went to Tarshish with Huram’s servants. Once every three years, the ships of Tarshish came bringing gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks.
22 Solomoon Mootichi badhaadhummaa fi ogummaadhaan mootota addunyaa hunda ni caala ture.
So King Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.
23 Mootonni addunyaa hundi ogummaa Waaqni garaa isaa keessa kaaʼe dhagaʼuuf Solomoon bira dhufuu barbaadu ture.
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.
They each brought tribute: vessels of silver, vessels of gold, clothing, armor, spices, horses, and mules 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.
Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen that he stationed in the chariot cities and with the king at Jerusalem.
26 Innis mootota Laga Efraaxiisiitii hamma biyya Filisxeemotaattii fi hamma daarii Gibxitti jiran hunda ni bulche.
He ruled over all the kings from the River even to the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt.
27 Mootichi akka meetiin Yerusaalem keessatti akkuma dhagaa baayʼatu, akka mukni birbirsaas akkuma mukkeen harbuu kanneen gaarran jalaatti baayʼatu ni godhe.
The king made silver as common in Jerusalem as stones, and he made cedars to be as abundant as the sycamore trees that are in the lowland.
28 Fardeen Solomoon Gibxii fi biyyoota biraa hunda irraa bitamanii dhufan.
They brought horses for Solomon out of Egypt and out of all lands.
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?
Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last, aren’t they written in the history of Nathan the prophet, and in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Iddo the seer concerning Jeroboam the son of Nebat?
30 Solomoon Yerusaalem keessatti mootii taʼee waggaa afurtama saba Israaʼel hunda ni bulche.
Solomon reigned in Jerusalem 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.
Solomon slept with his fathers, and he was buried in his father David’s city; and Rehoboam his son reigned in his place.
