2 Tantara 9
1 Ie jinanji’ty mpanjaka-ampela’ i Sebà ty enge’ i Selomò, le nimb’e Ierosalaime mb’eo hitsoke i Selomò am’ ontane sarotse; valobohòke ra’elahy ty nikovovòke nindre ama’e mb’eo; ninday raha mafiry o rameva’eo naho volamena tsifotofoto naho vato soa; aa ie nandoak’ amy Selomò eo le hene nisaontsia’e ze añ’arofo’e ao.
And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to prove Solomon with hard questions at Jerusalem, with a very great company, and camels that bore spices, and gold in abundance, and precious stones: and when she had come to Solomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart.
2 Tinoi’ i Selomò aze iaby ontane’eo vaho tsy eo ty raha nietak’ amy Selomò ty tsy nampandrendreha’e.
And Solomon told her all her questions: and there was nothing hid from Solomon which he told her not.
3 Ie nioni’ i mpanjaka-ampela’ i Sebày ty hihi’ i Selomò naho i anjomba’ niranjie’ey,
And when the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had built,
4 naho o mahakama am-pandambaña’eo naho o fiambesam-pitoro’eo naho ty fiatrafa’ o mpiatra’eo naho ty saro’ iareo; naho o mpitàm-pitovi’eo naho o siki’ iareoo; vaho ty fanongañe nionjona’e mb’añ’anjomba’ Iehovà mb’ eo, le tsy nahakofòke.
And the provisions of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel; his cup-bearers also, and their apparel; and his ascent by which he went up into the house of the LORD; there was no more spirit in her.
5 Le hoe re amy mpanjakay, Talily to ty nitsanoñeko an-taneko añe ty amo fitoloña’oo naho o hihi’oo,
And she said to the king, [It was] a true report which I heard in my own land of thy acts, and of thy wisdom:
6 le tsy niantofako heike o saontsi’eo naho tsy nivotrake etoan-draho vaho nitrea’ o masokoo; le hehe te tsy nisaontsieñ’ amako ty vakin-kaliforan-kihi’o; fa nilikoare’o ty enge nitsanoñeko.
Yet, I believed not their words, until I came, and my eyes had seen [it]: and behold, the one half of the greatness of thy wisdom was not told to me: [for] thou exceedest the fame that I heard.
7 Haha ondati’oo naho fale o mpitoro’o mijohañe nainai’e añatrefa’oo, mijanjiñe o hihi’oo.
Happy [are] thy men, and happy [are] these thy servants, who stand continually before thee, and hear thy wisdom.
8 Andriañeñe t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’o nañisok’ azo, nampiambesatse azo am-piambesa’e eo, ho mpanjaka’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o, ty amy fikokoan’ Añahare Israeley, ie najado’e ho nainai’e donia; zay ty nanoe’e azo mpanjaka’ iareo, hanoa’o ty hatò naho ty havantañañe.
Blessed be the LORD thy God, who delighted in thee to set thee on his throne, [to be] king for the LORD thy God: because thy God loved Israel, to establish them for ever, therefore he made thee king over them, to do judgment and justice.
9 Le natolo’e amy mpanjakay ty volamena talenta zato-tsi-roapolo naho fampafiriañe tsifotofoto vaho vatosoa; kanao le lia’e tsy nioniñe ty fampafiriañe manahake i natolo’ i mpanjaka ampela’ i Sebày amy Selomò mpanjaka.
And she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices great abundance, and precious stones: neither was there any such spice as the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.
10 Ninday hatae màñitse naho vatosoa ka o mpitoro’ i Korame naho mpitoro’ i Selomò mpinday volamena boake Ofireo.
And the servants also of Huram, and the servants of Solomon, who brought gold from Ophir, brought algum trees and precious stones.
11 Le namboara’ i mpanjakay fanongañe amy hatae màñitsey o lalañe mionjoñe mb’amy anjomba’ Iehovày naho mb’amy anjomba’ i mpanjakay mb’eoo mbore nanoa’e marovany naho jejobory o mpisaboo. Mbe lia’e tsy niisak’ an-tane Iehoda i zay.
And the king made [of] the algum trees terraces to the house of the LORD, and to the king's palace, and harps and psalteries for singers: and there were none such seen before in the land of Judah.
12 Le natolo’ i Selomò mpanjaka amy mpanjaka-ampela’ i Sebày ze hene nirie’e, ze nihalalia’e naho tsy i natolo’e amy mpanjakay. Aa le nitolike re, nimpoly mb’an-tane’e añe, ie naho o mpitoro’eo.
And king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she asked, besides [that] which she had brought to the king. So she turned, and went away to her own land, she and her servants.
13 Ie amy zay, ty lanjam-bolamena niheo mb’amy Selomò ami’ty taoñe le talenta volamena enen-jato-tsi-enem-polo-eneñ’ amby,
Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty and six talents of gold;
14 ambone’ ty nendese’ o mpanao takinakeo naho o mpanao balibalikeo; vaho songa ninday volamena naho volafoty amy Selomò o mpanjaka’ Arabeo naho o mpifehe an-taneo.
Besides [that which] chapmen and merchants brought. And all the kings of Arabia and governors of the country brought gold and silver to Solomon.
15 Nandranjy fikalan-defo roanjato am-bolamena pinepèke t’i Selomò; nanoeñe volamena pinepèke, le sekele enen-jato ty fikalandefo;
And king Solomon made two hundred targets [of] beaten gold: six hundred [shekels] of beaten gold went to one target.
16 vaho nanoe’e fikalandefo volamena pinepèke telon-jato; sindre sekelem-bolamena telonjato ty nanoeñe i fikalandefoñe rey; le nampizilihe’ i mpanjakay añ’ anjomban’ Ala’ i Lebanone ao.
And three hundred shields [made he of] beaten gold: three hundred [shekels] of gold went to one shield. And the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
17 Mbore namboare’ i mpanjakay ty fiambesatse jabajaba an-tsifa vaho nipakora’e volamena ki’e.
Moreover, the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold.
18 Fanongañe eneñe ty nitroatse amy fiambesatsey, volamena ka ty fitimpahañe nirekets’ amy fiambesatsey, miharo fisampezam-pitàñe añ’ ila’e roe’ i fiambesatsey vaho liona roe ty nijohañe marine i fisampezam-pitàñe rey.
And [there were] six steps to the throne, with a footstool of gold, [which were] fastened to the throne, and stays on each side of the sitting-place, and two lions standing by the stays:
19 Liona folo-ro’ amby ty nijohañe añ’ila roe’ i fanongañe eneñe rey, tsy eo ty nanahak’ aze ndra am-pifeheañe aia.
And twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other upon the six steps. There was not the like made in any kingdom.
20 Songa volamena o fitovim-pikamà’ i Selomò mpanjakao vaho hene volamena ki’e o fanake añ’ anjomban’ ala’ i Lebanoneo, ie tsy am-bolafoty, fa tsy natao ho vara tañ’ andro’ i Selomò ty volafoty.
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 [were of] silver; it was [not] any thing accounted of in the days of Solomon.
21 Nanan-tsambo nionjomb’e Tarsise mindre amo mpitoro’ i Korameo i mpanjakay; boa-telo-taoñe ty nimpolia’ o sambo’ i Tarsiseo ninday volamena naho volafoty naho tsifa naho kofe vaho toký.
For the king's ships went to Tarshish with the servants of Huram: once every three years came the ships of Tarshish bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
22 Aa le nilikoare’ i Selomò an-kihitse naho vara ze hene mpanjaka’ ty tane toy.
And king Solomon surpassed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.
23 Vaho songa nipay hiatrek’ amy Selomò o mpanjaka’ ty tane toio, hijanjiñe ze hihi’e najon’ Añahare añ’arofo’e ao.
And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, that God had put in his heart.
24 Le fonga ninday ravoravo mañeva ondatio: fanake volafoty naho fanake volamena naho sikiñe naho sikim-pikalañe naho fampifiriañe naho soavala vaho borìke, boa-tao-boa-taoñe.
And they brought every man his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and raiment, harness, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year.
25 Nanan-trañon-tsoavala efats’ arivo t’i Selomò naho sarete naho mpiningitse rai-ale-tsi-roarivo, ie nampimoneña’e amo rovan-tsareteo naho amy mpanjaka e Ierosalaimey.
And Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen; whom he bestowed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
26 Nifehe’e iaby o mpanjaka boak’amy Sakay pak’an-tane’ o nte-Pelistio ampara’ ty efe-tane’ i Mitsraime añe.
And he reigned over all the kings from the river even to the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt.
27 Le nanoe’ i mpanjakay hoe vato ty volafoty e Ierosalaime naho hoe sakoañe am-bavatane ao o mendoraveñeo ami’ty hamaro’e.
And the king made silver in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar trees he made as the sycamore trees that [are] in the low plains in abundance.
28 Le nendesa’ iareo soavala boake Mitsraime añe naho hirik’ amo tane iabio t’i Selomò mpanjaka.
And they brought to Solomon horses from Egypt, and from all lands.
29 Aa naho o fitoloña’ i Selomò ila’eo, ty valoha’e pak’ am-para’e, tsy fa sinokitse amo vinolili’ i Natane mpitokio hao naho amy fitokia’ i Akiià nte-Siloney vaho amo aroñaro’ Iedò mpitoky am’ Iarovame ana’ i Nebateo?
Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last, [are] they not written in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Iddo the seer against Jeroboam the son of Nebat?
30 Nifehe Israele iaby e Ierosalaime ao efa-polo taoñe t’i Selomò
And Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years.
31 le nitrao-piròtse aman-droae’e t’i Selomò naho nalentek’ an-drova’ i Davide rae’e ao vaho nandimbe aze nifehe t’i Rekoboame ana’e.
And Solomon slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead.
