< 1 Kings 10 >
1 Nígbà tí ayaba Ṣeba gbọ́ òkìkí Solomoni àti ì bà ṣe pọ̀ rẹ̀ ní ti orúkọ Olúwa, ó sì wá láti dán an wò pẹ̀lú ìbéèrè líle.
And, when, the queen of Sheba, heard the report of Solomon, as pertaining to the Name of Yahweh, she came to prove him, with abstruse questions.
2 Ó sì wá sí Jerusalẹmu pẹ̀lú ẹgbẹ́ èrò ńlá ńlá, pẹ̀lú ìbákasẹ tí ó ru tùràrí, àti ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ wúrà, àti òkúta iyebíye, ó sì wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ Solomoni, ó sì bá a sọ gbogbo èyí tí ń bẹ ní ọkàn rẹ̀.
Yea she came to Jerusalem with a very heavily-laden train, of camels bearing spices, and gold in great abundance, and precious stones, —and, when she was come to Solomon, she spake unto him all that was near her heart;
3 Solomoni sì dáhùn gbogbo ìbéèrè rẹ̀; kò sì sí èyí tí ó ṣòro fún ọba láti ṣàlàyé fún un.
and Solomon answered her all her questions, —there was nothing hidden from the king, which he told her not.
4 Nígbà tí ayaba Ṣeba sì rí gbogbo ọgbọ́n Solomoni àti ààfin tí ó ti kọ́.
And, when the queen of Sheba had seen all the wisdom of Solomon, —and the house which he had built;
5 Oúnjẹ tí ó wà lórí i tábìlì rẹ̀, ìjókòó àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀, àti ìdúró àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ àti ìwọṣọ wọn, àwọn agbọ́tí rẹ̀, àti ẹbọ sísun tí ó sun ní ilé Olúwa, kò sì sí ẹ̀mí kan nínú rẹ̀ mọ́!
and the food of his table, and the seated assembly of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers with their apparel, and his cupbearers, and his ascent by which he ascended unto the house of Yahweh, there was in her no more spirit.
6 Ó sì wí fún ọba pé, “Òtítọ́ ni ìròyìn tí mo gbọ́ ní orílẹ̀-èdè mi ní ti iṣẹ́ rẹ àti ọgbọ́n rẹ.
And she said unto the king, True, was the word which I heard in mine own land, —concerning thine affairs, and concerning thy wisdom.
7 Ṣùgbọ́n èmi kò sì gba nǹkan wọ̀nyí gbọ́ títí ìgbà tí mo wá, tí mo sì fi ojú ara mi rí i. Sì kíyèsi i, a kò sọ ìdajì wọn fún mi; ìwọ sì ti fi ọgbọ́n àti ìrora kọjá òkìkí tí mo gbọ́.
Howbeit I believed not the words, until that I had come and mine own eyes had seen, and lo! there had not been told me, the half, —thou dost exceed, in wisdom and prosperity, even the report which I heard!
8 Báwo ni inú àwọn ènìyàn rẹ yóò ṣe dùn tó! Báwo ni inú dídùn àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ, tí wọ́n ń dúró níwájú rẹ nígbà gbogbo, tí wọ́n sì ń gbọ́ ọgbọ́n rẹ!
How happy, are thy wives, how happy, are these thy servants, —who do stand before thee continually, who hear thy wisdom!
9 Ìbùkún ni fún Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ, tí ó ní inú dídùn sí ọ, tí ó sì gbé ọ ka orí ìtẹ́ Israẹli. Nítorí tí Olúwa fẹ́ràn Israẹli títí láé, ni ó ṣe fi ọ́ jẹ ọba, láti ṣe ìdájọ́ àti òdodo.”
Yahweh thy God be blessed, who delighted in thee, to set thee upon the throne of Israel, —because Yahweh loveth Israel unto times age-abiding, therefore hath he appointed thee to be king, to execute justice and righteousness.
10 Ó sì fún ọba ní ọgọ́fà tálẹ́ǹtì wúrà, tùràrí olóòórùn dídùn lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀, àti òkúta iyebíye. Kò sí irú ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ tùràrí tí a mú wá tí ó dàbí irú èyí tí ayaba Ṣeba fi fún Solomoni ọba.
And she gave unto the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices in great abundance, and precious stones, —there came in no more, such spice for abundance, as that which the queen of Sheba gave unto King Solomon.
11 (Pẹ̀lúpẹ̀lú àwọn ọ̀wọ́-ọkọ̀ Hiramu tí ó mú wúrà láti Ofiri wá, wọ́n mú igi algumu lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀ àti òkúta oníyebíye láti Ofiri wá.
Moreover also, the fleet of Hiram, which brought gold from Ophir, brought in, from Ophir sandal-wood in great abundance, and precious stones.
12 Ọba sì fi igi algumu náà ṣe òpó fún ilé Olúwa àti fún ààfin ọba, àti láti ṣe dùùrù pẹ̀lú àti ohun èlò orin olókùn fún àwọn akọrin. Irú igi algumu bẹ́ẹ̀ kò dé mọ́, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni a kò rí wọn títí di òní yìí.)
So the king made of the sandal-wood a footpath to the house of Yahweh, and to the house of the king, lyres also and harps, for the singers, —there hath neither come in such sandal-wood, nor been seen, unto this day.
13 Solomoni ọba sì fún ayaba Ṣeba ní gbogbo ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ àti ohun tí ó béèrè, yàtọ̀ sí èyí tí a fi fún un láti ọwọ́ Solomoni ọba wa. Nígbà náà ni ó yípadà, ó sì lọ sí ìlú rẹ̀, pẹ̀lú àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀.
And, when, King Solomon, had given unto the queen of Sheba, all her desire, which she asked, besides that which he gave her as the bounty of King Solomon, she turned, and went to her own land, she and her servants.
14 Ìwọ̀n wúrà tí Solomoni ń gbà ní ọdún kan sì jẹ́ ọ̀tàlélẹ́gbẹ̀ta ó lé mẹ́fà tálẹ́ǹtì wúrà,
And it came to pass that, the weight of the gold which came in unto Solomon in one year, was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold;
15 láìka èyí tí ó ń gbà lọ́wọ́ àwọn ajẹ́lẹ̀ àti àwọn oníṣòwò, àti ti gbogbo àwọn ọba Arabia, àti àwọn baálẹ̀ ilẹ̀.
besides the tribute of the subjugated, and of the travelling merchants, —and of all the kings of Arabia, and the pashas of the land.
16 Solomoni ọba sì ṣe igba asà wúrà lílù; ẹgbẹ̀ta ṣékélì wúrà ni ó lọ sí asà kan.
And King Solomon made two hundred shields, of beaten gold, six hundred [shekels] of gold, laid he upon one shield;
17 Ó sì túnṣe ọ̀ọ́dúnrún asà wúrà lílù, pẹ̀lú òsùwọ̀n wúrà mẹ́ta tí ó tàn sí asà kọ̀ọ̀kan. Ọba sì kó wọn sí ilé igbó Lebanoni.
and three hundred bucklers, of beaten gold, one hundred and fifty shekels of gold, laid he upon one buckler, —and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
18 Nígbà náà ni ọba sì ṣe ìtẹ́ eyín erin ńlá kan, ó sì fi wúrà dídára bò ó.
And the king made a great throne of ivory, —and overlaid it with gold from Uphaz.
19 Ìtẹ́ náà sì ní àtẹ̀gùn mẹ́fà, ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ sì ṣe róbótó lókè. Ní ibi ìjókòó méjèèjì náà ni ìrọpá wà, pẹ̀lú kìnnìún tí ó dúró lẹ́gbẹ̀ẹ́ ọ̀kọ̀ọ̀kan wọn.
There were, six steps, to the throne, and there was, a circular top, to the throne, behind it, and there were supports on this side and on that, unto the place of the seat, —with two lions standing beside the supports;
20 Kìnnìún méjìlá sì dúró níbi àtẹ̀gùn mẹ́fẹ̀ẹ̀fà, ọ̀kọ̀ọ̀kan ní òpin àtẹ̀gùn kọ̀ọ̀kan, kò tí ì sí irú rẹ̀ ní ìjọba kan rí.
and, twelve lions, were standing there, upon the six steps, on this side and on that, —there had never been made the like, for any of the kingdoms.
21 Gbogbo ohun èlò mímu Solomoni ọba sì jẹ́ wúrà àti gbogbo ohun èlò ààfin igbó Lebanoni sì jẹ́ kìkì wúrà. Kò sí nǹkan kan tí a fi fàdákà ṣe, nítorí a kò ka fàdákà sí nǹkan kan ní gbogbo ọjọ́ Solomoni.
And, all the drinking vessels of King Solomon, were of gold, and, all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon, were of pure gold, —none was of silver, it was accounted in the days of Solomon, as nothing.
22 Ọba sì ní ọkọ̀ Tarṣiṣi kan pẹ̀lú ọkọ̀ Hiramu ní Òkun. Ẹ̀ẹ̀kan ní ọdún mẹ́ta ni ọkọ̀ Tarṣiṣi ń dé, tí ó ń mú wúrà àti fàdákà, eyín erin àti ìnàkí àti ẹyẹ-ológe wá.
For, a fleet of Tarshish, had the king, at sea, with the fleet of Hiram, —once in three years, came in the fleet of Tarshish, bringing gold and silver, ivory and apes, and peacocks.
23 Solomoni ọba sì pọ̀ ní ọrọ̀ àti ní ọgbọ́n ju gbogbo àwọn ọba ayé lọ.
So King Solomon became greater than any of the kings of the earth, —for riches and for wisdom.
24 Gbogbo ayé sì ń wá ojú Solomoni láti gbọ́ ọgbọ́n tí Ọlọ́run ti fi sí i ní ọkàn.
And, all the earth, did seek the face of Solomon, —to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
25 Bí ọdún ṣe ń gorí ọdún olúkúlùkù àwọn tí ń wá sì ń mú ẹ̀bùn tirẹ̀ wá, ohun èlò fàdákà àti ohun èlò wúrà àti ẹ̀wù, àti tùràrí olóòórùn dídùn, ẹṣin àti ìbáaka.
And, they, did bring every man his present—vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and armour, and spices, horses and mules, —a rate of a year in a year.
26 Solomoni sì kó kẹ̀kẹ́ àti ẹṣin jọ; ó sì ní ẹgbàáje kẹ̀kẹ́ àti ẹgbàá mẹ́fà ẹlẹ́ṣin, tí ó fi pamọ́ sí ìlú kẹ̀kẹ́ àti pẹ̀lú ọba ní Jerusalẹmu.
And Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen, and so it was that he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, —for whom he found place in the chariot cities, and near the king, in Jerusalem.
27 Ọba sì jẹ́ kí fàdákà pọ̀ ní Jerusalẹmu bí òkúta, àti igi kedari ni ó ṣe kí ó dàbí igi sikamore tí ń bẹ ní àfonífojì fún ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀.
And the king caused silver in Jerusalem to be as stones, —cedars also, caused he to be as the sycamores that are in the lowlands, for abundance.
28 A mú àwọn ẹṣin wá fún Solomoni láti Ejibiti àti láti Kue, oníṣòwò ọba rà wọ́n láti Kue fún owó.
And the horses that Solomon had were, an export, out of Egypt, —and, a company of the merchants of the king, used to fetch, a drove, at a price,
29 Wọ́n ń mú kẹ̀kẹ́ kan gòkè láti Ejibiti wá fún ẹgbẹ̀ta ṣékélì fàdákà àti ẹṣin kan fún àádọ́jọ. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n tún mú wọn wá fún ọba àwọn ọmọ Hiti àti ọba àwọn ọmọ Aramu.
And a chariot came up and forth out of Egypt, for six hundred shekels of silver and a horse for a hundred and fifty, —and, so, for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, by their means, came they forth.
