2 Chronicles 9
1 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.
A LOHE ke alii wahine o Seba i ke kaulana o Solomona, hele mai ia i Ierusalema e hoao ia Solomona i na mea pohihihi, me ka huakai nui, me na kamelo e lawe ana i na mea ala, a me ke gula he nui, a me na pohaku makamae; a hiki kela io Solomona la, kamailio pu oia me ia i na mea a pau loa iloko o kona naau.
2 Solomon answered all her questions. There wasn’t anything hidden from Solomon which he didn’t tell her.
A hai aku o Solomona ia ia i na mea a pau loa ana i ninau ai; aohe mea i koe a Solomona i hai ole aku ai ia ia.
3 When the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, the house that he had built,
A ike ke alii wahine o Seba i ka naauao o Solomona, a me ka hale ana i kukulu ai,
4 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.
A me ka ai o kona papaaina, a me ka noho ana o kana poe kauwa, a me ke ku ana o kana poe lawelawe, a me ko lakou kahiko ana; a i ka poe lawe kiaha a me ko lakou kahiko ana, a me ke ala kahi i pii ai oia iluna i ka hale o Iehova; aole hanu i koe iloko ona.
5 She said to the king, “It was a true report that I heard in my own land of your acts and of your wisdom.
Olelo aku la ia i ke alii, He oiaio ka mea a'u i lohe ai ma kuu aina no kau hana ana a me kou naauao.
6 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!
Aole nae i hoomaopopo i ka lakou olelo, a hiki mai au, a ike ko'u mau maka; aia hoi, aole i haiia mai ia'u ka hapalua o kou nui, a me kou naauao; ua hooi aku oe i ka lono ana a'u i lohe ai.
7 Happy are your men, and happy are these your servants, who stand continually before you and hear your wisdom.
Pomaikai kou poe kanaka, a pomaikai hoi keia poe kauwa au, ka poe e ku mau ana imua o kou alo, a e lohe ana hoi i kou naauao.
8 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.”
E hoomaikaiia o Iehova kou Akua, ka mea i makemake mai ia oe e hoonoho ia oe maluna o kona nohoalii, i alii no Iehova no kou Akua; no ke aloha ana o kou Akua i ka Iseraela, a me kona hookupaa mau loa ana ia lakou, nolaila oia i hoonoho iho ai ia oe maluna o lakou i alii e hana i ka pono a me ka pololei.
9 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.
A haawi mai la oia i ke alii i hookahi haneri talena gula a me ka iwakalua, a me na mea ala he nui loa, a me na pohaku makamae; aohe mea ala e ae e like me ka mea a ke alii wahine no Seba i haawi mai ai i ke alii ia Solomona.
10 The servants of Huram and the servants of Solomon, who brought gold from Ophir, also brought algum trees and precious stones.
A o na kauwa a Hurama a me na kauwa a Solomona ka poe i lawe i ke gula mai Opira mai, lawe no hoi lakou i na laau aleguma a me na pohaku makamae.
11 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.
Hana iho la o Solomona me ka laau aleguma i alapii no ka hale o Iehova, a no ka hale o ke alii, a me na mea kani, a me na kuolo kani no ka poe mele; aole i ikeia na mea e like me ua mau mea la ma ka aina o Iuda.
12 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.
A haawi aku la ke alii o Solomona i ke alii wahine no Seba i kona makemake a pau, na mea ana i noi mai ai, o na mea kekahi ana i haawi mai ai na ke alii: alaila, huli ae la oia a hele aku la i kona aina, oia a me kana poe kauwa.
13 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred sixty-six talents of gold,
A o ke kaupaona ana o ke gula i laweia ia Solomona i ka makahiki hookahi, eono haneri a me kanaonokumamaono talena gula:
14 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.
Okoa ka mea a ka poe kuai, a me ka poe kalepa i lawe mai ai: a o na'lii a pau o Arabia, a me na kiaaina, lawe mai la lakou i ke gula, a me ke kala ia Solomona.
15 King Solomon made two hundred large shields of beaten gold. Six hundred shekels of beaten gold went to one large shield.
Hana iho la o Solomona ke alii i na paleumauma gula maemae ole elua haneri; eono haneri sekela gula maemae ole ma ka paleumauma hookahi.
16 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.
A me na palekaua gula maemae ole ekolu haneri; ekolu haneri sekela gula maemae ole ma ka palekaua hookahi; a waiho iho la ke ahi ia mau mea iloko o ka hale o ka ululaau o Lebanona.
17 Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold.
A hana iho la ke alii i nohoalii niho elepani a nui, a uhi oia ia mea i ke gula maemae.
18 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.
Eono anuu i ka nohoalii, a he paepae wawae gula, e pili ana i ka nohoalii, a me na kalele ma kela aoao a me keia aoao o kahi e noho ai, a elua liona e ku ana ma keia mau aoao.
19 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.
O na liona he umikumamalua i ka malaila maluna o na anuu, eono ma kela aoao a ma keia aoao; aohe mea e like ai i hanaia ma na aupuni a pau.
20 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.
A o na kiaha inu a pau loa o ke alii, o Solomona, he gula no; a o na ipu a pau o ka hale o ka ululaau o Lebanona he gula maemae; aole he kala kekahi, ua manaia oia he mea ole, i na la o Solomona.
21 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.
No ka mea, holo na moku o ke alii ma Taresisa me na kauwa a Hurama, hookahi ku ana o na moku o Taresisa i na makahiki ekolu, e lawe mai ana i ke gula, a me ke kala a me na niho elepani, a me na keko a me na pikaka.
22 So King Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.
A oi e aku o Solomona mamua o na'lii a pau loa o ka honua ma ka waiwai a me ka naauao.
23 All the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
Ua imi na'lii a pau o ka honua i ke alo o Solomona e lohe i kona naauao, ka mea a ke Akua i hookomo ai iloko o kona naau.
24 They each brought tribute: vessels of silver, vessels of gold, clothing, armor, spices, horses, and mules every year.
A lawe mai lakou, kela mea keia mea, i kana makana, i na ipu kala, a me na ipu gula, a me na aahu, a me na mea kaua, a me na mea ala, a me na lio, a me na hoki, he haawina i kela makahiki i keia makahiki.
25 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.
Aia no ia Solomona na kauhale, kahi no na lio, a no na halekaa eha tausani, a me na hoohololio he umikumamalua tausani; a hoonoho oia ia lakou iloko o na kulanakauhale no na kaa, a ma Ierusalema kekahi me ke alii.
26 He ruled over all the kings from the River even to the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt.
A noho alii oia maluna o na'lii a pau mai ka muliwai a hiki i ka aina o Pilisetia, a i ka mokuna o Aigupita.
27 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.
A hoolilo ae la ke alii i ke kala ma Ierusalema e like me na pohaku, a haawi mai i na laau kedera e like me na laau sukamorea ma ke awawa i nui loa.
28 They brought horses for Solomon out of Egypt and out of all lands.
A ua kaiia mai na lio no Solomona mai Aigupita mai, a mailoko mai o na aina a pau.
29 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?
A o na mea i koe a Solomona i hana'i, mamua, a mahope hoi, aole anei i kakauia ia mau mea ma ka palapala a Natana, ke kaula, a me ka wanana a Ahiia no Siloni, a ma ka wanana a Ido ana i wanana ai no Ieroboama ke keiki a Nebata?
30 Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years.
A noho alii o Solomona ma Ierusalema maluna o ka Iseraela a pau i na makahiki hookahi kanaha.
31 Solomon slept with his fathers, and he was buried in his father David’s city; and Rehoboam his son reigned in his place.
A hiamoe iho la o Solomona me kona mau makua, a kanu lakou ia ia ma ke kulanakauhale o Davida o kona makua, a noho alii iho la o Rehoboama mahope ona.
