2 Chronicles 9
1 Nígbà tí ayaba Ṣeba gbọ́ nípa òkìkí Solomoni, ó sì wá sí Jerusalẹmu láti dán an wò pẹ̀lú ìbéèrè tí ó le. Ó dé pẹ̀lú ẹgbẹ́ ńlá kan pẹ̀lú ìbákasẹ tí ó ru tùràrí, ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ iye wúrà, àti òkúta iyebíye, ó wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ Solomoni ó sì sọ̀rọ̀ pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ nípa gbogbo ohun tí ó ní lọ́kàn rẹ̀.
Also, when the queen of Sheba had heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to Jerusalem, with great riches and with camels which were carrying aromatics, and very much gold, and precious gems, so that she might test him with enigmas. And when she had approached Solomon, she spoke to him all that was in her heart.
2 Solomoni sì dá a lóhùn gbogbo ìbéèrè rẹ̀; kò sì sí èyíkéyìí tí kò lè ṣe àlàyé fún.
And Solomon explained for her all that she had proposed. And there was nothing that he did not make clear to her.
3 Nígbà tí ayaba Ṣeba rí ọgbọ́n Solomoni àti pẹ̀lú ilé tí ó ti kọ́,
And after she saw these things, specifically, the wisdom of Solomon, and the house which he had built,
4 oúnjẹ tí ó wà lórí tábìlì rẹ̀, àti ìjókòó àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀, àti dídúró àwọn ìránṣẹ́ nínú aṣọ wọn, àti àwọn agbọ́tí nínú aṣọ wọn àti ẹbọ sísun tí ó ṣe ní ilé Olúwa, ó sì dá a lágara fún ìyàlẹ́nu.
indeed also the foods of his table, and the habitations of the servants, and the duties of his ministers, and their apparel, and also his cupbearers and their garments, and the victims which he was immolating in the house of the Lord, there was no longer any spirit in her, due to astonishment.
5 Ó sì wí fún ọba pé, “Ìròyìn tí mo gbọ́ ní ìlú mi nípa iṣẹ́ rẹ àti ọgbọ́n rẹ, òtítọ́ ni.
And she said to the king: “The word is true, which I had heard in my own land, about your virtues and wisdom.
6 Ṣùgbọ́n èmi kò gba ohun tí wọ́n sọ gbọ́ àyàfi ìgbà tí mó dé ibí tí mo sì ri pẹ̀lú ojú mi. Nítòótọ́, kì í tilẹ̀ ṣe ìdájọ́ ìdajì títóbi ọgbọ́n rẹ ní a sọ fún mi: ìwọ ti tàn kọjá òkìkí tí mo gbọ́.
I did not believe those who described it, until I had arrived and my eyes had seen, and I had proven that not even half of your wisdom had been described to me. You have exceeded your fame with your virtue.
7 Báwo ni inú àwọn ọkùnrin rẹ ìbá ṣe dùn tó! Báwo ní dídùn inú àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ, àwọn tí n dúró nígbà gbogbo níwájú rẹ láti gbọ́ ọgbọ́n rẹ!
Blessed are your men, and blessed are your servants, who stand before you at all times and listen to your wisdom.
8 Ìyìn ló yẹ fún Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ, ẹni tí ó ní inú dídùn nínú rẹ tí ó sì gbé ọ ka orí ìtẹ́ ìjọba rẹ̀ láti jẹ ọba fún Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ. Nítorí ìfẹ́ Ọlọ́run rẹ fún Israẹli láti fi ìdí wọn kalẹ̀ láéláé, ó sì ti fi ọ́ ṣe ọba lórí wọn, láti ṣe ìdájọ́ àti òtítọ́.”
Blessed is the Lord your God, who willed to set you upon his throne as a king for the Lord your God. Since God loves Israel, he wishes to preserve them unto eternity. For this reason, he appointed you as king over them, so that you may accomplish judgment and justice.”
9 Nígbà náà ni ó sì fún ọba ní ọgọ́fà tálẹ́ǹtì wúrà. Ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ iye tùràrí, àti òkúta iyebíye. Kò sì tí ì sí irú tùràrí yí gẹ́gẹ́ bí èyí tí ayaba Ṣeba fi fún ọba Solomoni.
Then she gave to the king one hundred twenty talents of gold, and an exceedingly great abundance of aromatics, and very precious gems. Never were there such aromatics as those that the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.
10 Àwọn ènìyàn Hiramu àti àwọn ọkùnrin Solomoni gbé wúrà wá láti Ofiri, wọ́n sì tún gbé igi algumu pẹ̀lú àti òkúta iyebíye wá.
Then too, the servants of Hiram, with the servants of Solomon, brought gold from Ophir, and wood from thyine trees, and very precious gems.
11 Ọba sì lo igi algumu náà láti fi ṣe àtẹ̀gùn fún ilé Olúwa àti fún ilé ọba àti láti fi ṣe dùùrù àti ohun èlò orin olókùn fún àwọn akọrin. Kò sì ṣí irú rẹ̀ tí a ti rí rí ní ilẹ̀ Juda.
And the king made, from this particular thyine wood, steps in the house of the Lord, and in the house of the king, and also harps and psalteries for the singing men. Never was there seen such wood in the land of Judah.
12 Ọba Solomoni fún ayaba Ṣeba ní gbogbo ohun tí ó béèrè fún àti ohun tí ó wù ú; ó sì fi fún un ju èyí tí ó mú wá fún un lọ. Nígbà náà ni ó lọ ó sì padà pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ sí ìlú rẹ̀.
Then king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all that she desired, and all that she requested, and much more than what she had brought to him. And returning, she went away to her own land with her servants.
13 Ìwọ̀n wúrà tí Solomoni gbà ní ọdún kan sì jẹ́ ọ̀tàlélẹ́gbẹ̀ta ó lé mẹ́fà tálẹ́ǹtì,
Now the weight of the gold, which was being brought to Solomon throughout each year, was six hundred sixty-six talents of gold,
14 láì tí ì ka àkójọpọ̀ owó ìlú tí ó wọlé láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn oníṣòwò àti àwọn ọlọ́jà. Àti pẹ̀lú gbogbo àwọn ọba Arabia àti àwọn baálẹ̀ ilẹ̀ náà mu wúrà àti fàdákà wá fún Solomoni.
apart from the sum that the legates of various nations and the merchants were accustomed to bring, and apart from the gold and silver that all the kings of Arabia, and the princes of the lands, were bringing together for Solomon.
15 Ọba Solomoni sì ṣe igba asà wúrà lílù; ẹgbẹ̀ta ṣékélì tí a fi òlùlù wúrà sí ọ̀kánkán asà.
And so, king Solomon made two hundred gold spears, from six hundred gold pieces, the amount used for each spear,
16 Ó sì ti ṣe ọ̀ọ́dúnrún kékeré ṣékélì tí a fi òlùlù wúrà, pẹ̀lú ọ̀ọ́dúnrún ṣékélì wúrà nínú àpáta kọ̀ọ̀kan. Ọba sì kó wọn sínú ààfin ti ó wà ní igbó Lebanoni.
and also three hundred gold shields, from three hundred gold pieces, which covered each shield. And the king placed them in the armory, which was situated in a forest.
17 Nígbà náà ọba sì ṣe ìtẹ́ pẹ̀lú eyín erin ńlá kan ó sì fi wúrà tó mọ́ bò ó.
Also, the king made a great ivory throne, and he clothed it with the purest gold.
18 Ìtẹ́ náà sì ní àtẹ̀gùn mẹ́fà, àti pẹ̀lú àpótí ìtìsẹ̀ wúrà kan ni a dè mọ́ ọn. Ní ìhà méjèèjì ibi ìjókòó ní ó ní ìgbọ́wọ́lé, pẹ̀lú kìnnìún tí ó dúró lẹ́bàá olúkúlùkù wọn.
And there were six steps, by which he would ascend to the throne, and a footstool of gold, and two arms, one on each side, and two lions standing beside the arms.
19 Kìnnìún méjìlá dúró lórí àtẹ̀gùn mẹ́ta, ọ̀kan àti ní ìhà olúkúlùkù àtẹ̀gùn kò sì sí irú rẹ̀ tí a ti ṣe rí fún ìjọba mìíràn.
Moreover, there were twelve additional little lions standing upon the six steps on both sides. There was no similar throne in all the kingdoms.
20 Gbogbo ohun èlò mímú ìjọba Solomoni ọba ni ó jẹ́ kìkì wúrà, àti gbogbo ohun èlò ààfin ní igbó Lebanoni ni ó jẹ́ wúrà mímọ́. Kò sì ṣí èyí tí a fi fàdákà ṣe, nítorí a kò ka fàdákà sí nǹkan kan ní gbogbo ọjọ́ Solomoni.
Also, all the vessels for the feasts of the king were of gold, and the vessels of the forest house of Lebanon were from the purest gold. For silver in those days was considered as nothing.
21 Ọba ní ọkọ̀ tí a fi ń tajà tí àwọn ọkùnrin Hiramu ń bojútó. Ẹ̀ẹ̀kan ní ọdún mẹ́ta ni ó máa ń padà, ó ń gbé wúrà àti fàdákà àti eyín erin àti ìnàkí.
For indeed, the ships of the king went to Tarshish, with the servants of Hiram, once every three years. And they brought from there gold, and silver, and ivory, and primates, and peacocks.
22 Ọba Solomoni sì tóbi nínú ọláńlá àti ọgbọ́n ju gbogbo àwọn ọba tí ó kù lórí ilẹ̀ ayé lọ.
And so, Solomon was magnified above all the kings of the earth in wealth and glory.
23 Gbogbo àwọn ọba ayé ń wá ojúrere lọ́dọ̀ Solomoni láti gbọ́n ọgbọ́n tí Ọlọ́run ti fi sínú ọkàn rẹ̀.
And all the kings of the lands were desiring to see the face of Solomon, so that they might hear the wisdom that God had granted to his heart.
24 Ní ọdọọdún, olúkúlùkù ẹni tí o wá mú ẹ̀bùn ohun èlò wúrà àti fàdákà àti aṣọ ìbora, ìhámọ́ra, àti tùràrí, àti ẹṣin àti ìbáaka wá.
And they were bringing to him gifts, vessels of silver and of gold, and garments, and armor, and aromatics, and horses, and mules, throughout each year.
25 Solomoni sì ní ẹgbàajì ilé fún àwọn ẹṣin àti kẹ̀kẹ́, àti ẹgbàá mẹ́fà àwọn ẹṣin, tí ó fi pamọ́ nínú ìlú kẹ̀kẹ́ àti pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ nínú Jerusalẹmu.
Also, Solomon had forty thousand horses in the stables, and twelve thousand chariots and horsemen, and he appointed them to the cities of the chariots, and where the king was in Jerusalem.
26 Ó sì jẹ ọba lórí gbogbo àwọn ọba láti odò Eufurate títí dé ilé àwọn ará Filistini àti títí ó fi dé agbègbè ti Ejibiti.
Now he also exercised authority over all the kings from the river Euphrates as far as the land of the Philistines, and as far as the borders of Egypt.
27 Ọba sì sọ fàdákà dàbí òkúta ní Jerusalẹmu, àti igi kedari ni ó sì ṣe bí igi sikamore, tí ó wà ní pẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀ ní ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀.
And he brought forth so much silver that it was as plentiful in Jerusalem as stones. And cedar trees were as great in number as the sycamores that spring up in the plains.
28 A sì mú àwọn ẹṣin Solomoni wa láti ilẹ̀ òkèrè láti Ejibiti àti láti gbogbo ìlú.
And horses were brought to him from Egypt and from every region.
29 Àti gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìyókù iṣẹ́ ìjọba Solomoni, láti ìbẹ̀rẹ̀ títí dé òpin, ṣé a kò kọ wọ́n sínú ìwé ìtàn Natani wòlíì, àti nínú ìsọtẹ́lẹ̀ Ahijah ará Ṣilo àti nínú ìran Iddo, wòlíì tí o so nípa Jeroboamu ọmọ Nebati?
Now the rest of the works of Solomon, the first and the last, have been written in the words of Nathan, the prophet, and in the books of Ahijah, the Shilonite, as well as in the vision of Iddo, the seer, against Jeroboam, the son of Nabat.
30 Solomoni jẹ ọba ní Jerusalẹmu lórí gbogbo àwọn Israẹli fún ogójì ọdún
And Solomon reigned in Jerusalem, over all of Israel, for forty years.
31 Solomoni sì sùn pẹ̀lú àwọn baba rẹ̀, a sì sin ín ní ìlú Dafidi baba rẹ̀, Rehoboamu, ọmọ rẹ̀ sì jẹ ọba ní ipò rẹ̀.
And he slept with his fathers. And they buried him in the City of David. And his son, Rehoboam, reigned in his place.
