< 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.
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.
2 Solomon answered all her questions. There was not anything hidden from Solomon which he did not tell her.
Tinoi’ i Selomò aze iaby ontane’eo vaho tsy eo ty raha nietak’ amy Selomò ty tsy nampandrendreha’e.
3 When the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, the house that he had built,
Ie nioni’ i mpanjaka-ampela’ i Sebày ty hihi’ i Selomò naho i anjomba’ niranjie’ey,
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 the LORD’s house, there was no more spirit in her.
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.
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.
Le hoe re amy mpanjakay, Talily to ty nitsanoñeko an-taneko añe ty amo fitoloña’oo naho o hihi’oo,
6 However I did not believe their words until I came, and my eyes had seen it; and behold half of the greatness of your wisdom was not told me. You exceed the fame that I heard!
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.
7 Happy are your men, and happy are these your servants, who stand continually before you and hear your wisdom.
Haha ondati’oo naho fale o mpitoro’o mijohañe nainai’e añatrefa’oo, mijanjiñe o hihi’oo.
8 Blessed be the LORD your God, who delighted in you and set you on his throne to be king for the LORD your God, because your God loved Israel, to establish them forever. Therefore he made you king over them, to do justice and righteousness.”
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.
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.
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.
10 The servants of Huram and the servants of Solomon, who brought gold from Ophir, also brought algum trees and precious stones.
Ninday hatae màñitse naho vatosoa ka o mpitoro’ i Korame naho mpitoro’ i Selomò mpinday volamena boake Ofireo.
11 The king used algum tree wood to make terraces for the LORD’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.
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.
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.
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.
13 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred sixty-six talents of gold,
Ie amy zay, ty lanjam-bolamena niheo mb’amy Selomò ami’ty taoñe le talenta volamena enen-jato-tsi-enem-polo-eneñ’ amby,
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.
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.
15 King Solomon made two hundred large shields of beaten gold. Six hundred shekels of beaten gold went to one large shield.
Nandranjy fikalan-defo roanjato am-bolamena pinepèke t’i Selo­mò; nanoeñe volamena pinepèke, le sekele enen-jato ty fikalandefo;
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.
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.
17 Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold.
Mbore namboare’ i mpanjakay ty fiambesatse jabajaba an-tsifa vaho nipakora’e volamena ki’e.
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.
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.
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.
Liona folo-ro’ amby ty nijohañe añ’ila roe’ i fanongañe eneñe rey, tsy eo ty nanahak’ aze ndra am-pifeheañe aia.
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.
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.
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.
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.
22 So King Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.
Aa le nilikoare’ i Selomò an-kihitse naho vara ze hene mpanjaka’ ty tane toy.
23 All the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
Vaho songa nipay hiatrek’ amy Selo­mò o mpanjaka’ ty tane toio, hijanjiñe ze hihi’e najon’ Añahare añ’arofo’e ao.
24 They each brought tribute: vessels of silver, vessels of gold, clothing, armor, spices, horses, and mules every year.
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.
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.
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.
26 He ruled over all the kings from the River even to the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt.
Nifehe’e iaby o mpanjaka boak’amy Sakay pak’an-tane’ o nte-Pelistio ampara’ ty efe-tane’ i Mitsraime añe.
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.
Le nanoe’ i mpanjakay hoe vato ty volafoty e Ierosalaime naho hoe sakoañe am-bavatane ao o mendoraveñeo ami’ty hamaro’e.
28 They brought horses for Solomon out of Egypt and out of all lands.
Le nendesa’ iareo soavala boake Mitsraime añe naho hirik’ amo tane iabio t’i Selo­mò mpanjaka.
29 Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last, are not 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?
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?
30 Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years.
Nifehe Israele iaby e Ierosalaime ao efa-polo taoñe t’i Selomò
31 Solomon slept with his fathers, and he was buried in his father David’s city; and Rehoboam his son reigned in his place.
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.
