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.
When the queen of Sheba heard of Solomon's fame concerning the name of Yahweh, she came to test him with hard 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.
She came to Jerusalem with a very long caravan, with camels loaded with spices, much gold, and many precious gemstones. When she arrived, she told Solomon all that was in her heart.
3 Solomoni sì dáhùn gbogbo ìbéèrè rẹ̀; kò sì sí èyí tí ó ṣòro fún ọba láti ṣàlàyé fún un.
Solomon answered all her questions. There was nothing she asked that the king did not answer.
4 Nígbà tí ayaba Ṣeba sì rí gbogbo ọgbọ́n Solomoni àti ààfin tí ó ti kọ́.
When the queen of Sheba saw all Solomon's wisdom, the palace that 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!
the food on his table, the seating of his servants, the work of his servants and their clothing, also his cupbearers, and the manner in which he offered burnt offerings in the house of Yahweh, there was no more breath in her.
6 Ó sì wí fún ọba pé, “Òtítọ́ ni ìròyìn tí mo gbọ́ ní orílẹ̀-èdè mi ní ti iṣẹ́ rẹ àti ọgbọ́n rẹ.
She said to the king, “It is true, the report that I heard in my own land of your words and your 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.
I did not believe what I heard until I came here, and now my eyes have seen it. Not half was told me about your wisdom and wealth! You have exceeded the fame that I heard about.
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 blessed are your wives, and how blessed are your servants who constantly stand before you, because they hear your 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.”
May Yahweh your God be praised, who has taken pleasure in you, who placed you on the throne of Israel. Because Yahweh loved Israel forever, he has made you king, for you to do 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.
She gave the king 120 talents of gold and a large amount of spices and precious stones. No greater amount of spices as these that the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon was ever given to him again.
11 (Pẹ̀lúpẹ̀lú àwọn ọ̀wọ́-ọkọ̀ Hiramu tí ó mú wúrà láti Ofiri wá, wọ́n mú igi algumu lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀ àti òkúta oníyebíye láti Ofiri wá.
The fleet of Hiram, which brought gold from Ophir, also brought from Ophir a large amount of almug wood 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.)
The king made almug wood pillars for the temple of Yahweh and for the king's palace, and harps and lyres for the singers. No such quantity of almug wood has ever come or been seen again to 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.
King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba everything she wished for, whatever she asked, in addition to what Solomon gave her of his royal bounty. So she returned to her own land with her servants.
14 Ìwọ̀n wúrà tí Solomoni ń gbà ní ọdún kan sì jẹ́ ọ̀tàlélẹ́gbẹ̀ta ó lé mẹ́fà tálẹ́ǹtì wúrà,
Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was 666 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 gold that the traders and merchants brought. All the kings of Arabia and the governors in the country also brought gold and silver to Solomon.
16 Solomoni ọba sì ṣe igba asà wúrà lílù; ẹgbẹ̀ta ṣékélì wúrà ni ó lọ sí asà kan.
King Solomon made two hundred large shields of beaten gold. Six hundred shekels of gold went into each one.
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.
He also made three hundred shields of beaten gold. Three minas of gold went into each shield; the king put them into the Palace of the Forest of Lebanon.
18 Nígbà náà ni ọba sì ṣe ìtẹ́ eyín erin ńlá kan, ó sì fi wúrà dídára bò ó.
Then the king made a great throne of ivory and overlaid it with the finest gold.
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 the back of it had a rounded top. There were armrests on each side of the seat, and two lions standing beside the armrests.
20 Kìnnìún méjìlá sì dúró níbi àtẹ̀gùn mẹ́fẹ̀ẹ̀fà, ọ̀kọ̀ọ̀kan ní òpin àtẹ̀gùn kọ̀ọ̀kan, kò tí ì sí irú rẹ̀ ní ìjọba kan rí.
Twelve lions stood on the steps, one on each side of each of the six steps. There was no throne like it in any other kingdom.
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.
All King Solomon's drinking cups were gold, and all the drinking cups in the Palace of the Forest of Lebanon were of pure gold. None were silver, because silver was not considered valuable in Solomon's days.
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.
The king had at sea a fleet of oceangoing ships, along with the fleet of Hiram. Once every three years the fleet brought gold, silver, and ivory, as well as apes and baboons.
23 Solomoni ọba sì pọ̀ ní ọrọ̀ àti ní ọgbọ́n ju gbogbo àwọn ọba ayé lọ.
So King Solomon exceeded all the kings of the world in riches and in wisdom.
24 Gbogbo ayé sì ń wá ojú Solomoni láti gbọ́ ọgbọ́n tí Ọlọ́run ti fi sí i ní ọkàn.
All the earth sought the presence of Solomon in order 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.
Those who visited brought tribute, vessels of silver and of gold, and clothes, armor, and spices, as well as horses and mules, year after 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.
Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen. He had 1,400 chariots and twelve thousand horsemen that he stationed in the chariot cities and with himself 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.
The king had silver in Jerusalem, as much as the stones on the ground. He made cedar wood to be as abundant as the sycamore fig trees that are in the lowlands.
28 A mú àwọn ẹṣin wá fún Solomoni láti Ejibiti àti láti Kue, oníṣòwò ọba rà wọ́n láti Kue fún owó.
The horses that belonged to Solomon were imported from Egypt, and Kue and the king's merchants purchased them from Kue.
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.
Chariots were purchased out of Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver each, and horses for 150 shekels each. Many of these were then sold to all the kings of the Hittites and Aram.
