1 Kings 10
1 And the queen of Saba, having; heard of the fame of Solomon in the name of the Lord, came to try him with hard questions.
Awo kabaka omukazi ow’e Seeba bwe yawulira ettutumo lya Sulemaani n’okwagala kwe yalina eri Mukama, n’ajja amugezese n’ebibuuzo ebizibu.
2 And entering into Jerusalem with a great train, and riches, and camels that carried spices, and an immense quantity of gold, and precious stones, she came to king Solomon, and spoke to him all that she had in her heart.
Yatuuka mu Yerusaalemi, n’ekibiina ky’abantu ekinene ennyo, n’eŋŋamira ezaali zeetisse ebyakaloosa, ne zaabu ennyingi ennyo, n’amayinja ag’omuwendo. Yanyumya ne Sulemaani ku ebyo byonna ebyali ku mutima gwe.
3 And Solomon informed her of all the things she proposed to him: there was not any word the king was ignorant of, and which he could not answer her.
Awo Sulemaani n’addamu ebibuuzo byonna, era tewaali na kimu ku byo ekyamuzibuwalira.
4 And when the queen of Saba saw all the wisdom of Solomon, and the house which he had built,
Kabaka omukazi ow’e Seeba bwe yalaba amagezi ga Sulemaani ago gonna, n’olubiri lwe yazimba,
5 And the meat of his table, and the apartments of his servants, and the order of his ministers, and their apparel, and the cupbearers, and the holocausts, which he offered in the house of the Lord: she had no longer any spirit in her,
n’emmere eyagabulwanga ku mmeeza ye, n’engeri abakungu be gye baatuuzibwangamu, n’ennyambala y’abaddu be, n’abasenero be, n’ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa bye yawangayo mu yeekaalu ya Mukama, ne yeewunya nnyo.
6 And she said to the king: The report is true, which I heard in my own country,
N’amugamba nti, “Bye nawulira nga ndi mu nsi yange, ku ebyo by’okoze n’amagezi go, bya mazima.
7 Concerning thy words, and concerning thy wisdom. And I did not believe them that told me, till I came myself, and saw with my own eyes, and have found that the half hath not been told me: thy wisdom and thy works, exceed the fame which I heard.
Ssakkiriza bigambo ebyo okutuusa lwe neesitukira ne nzija neerabireko n’agange. Kya mazima ddala nabulirwako kitundu butundu kyokka; kubanga amagezi go, n’obugagga bwo bisinga ku ebyo bye nawulira.
8 Blessed are thy men, and blessed are thy servants, who stand before thee always, and hear thy wisdom.
Abasajja bo nga beesiimye! N’abakungu abayimirira mu maaso go ne bawulira ebigambo eby’amagezi nga beesiimye!
9 Blessed be the Lord thy God, whom thou hast pleased, and who hath set thee upon the throne of Israel, because the Lord hath loved Israel for ever, and hath appointed thee king, to do judgment and justice.
Yeebazibwe Mukama Katonda wo akusanyukira era akutadde ku ntebe ey’obwakabaka bwa Isirayiri. Olw’okwagala kwa Mukama okutaggwaawo, akufudde kabaka, okukuuma obwenkanya n’obutuukirivu.”
10 And she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices a very great store, and precious stones: there was brought no more such abundance of spices as these which the queen of Saba gave to king Solomon.
N’agabira kabaka ttani nnya eza zaabu, n’ebyakaloosa bingi nnyo nnyini, n’amayinja ag’omuwendo. Tewaaleetebwa nate byakaloosa byenkana awo obungi ng’ebyo kabaka omukazi ow’e Seeba bye yawa Sulemaani.
11 (The navy also of Hiram, which brought gold from Ophir, brought from Ophir great plenty of thyine trees, and precious stones.
(Emmeeri za Kiramu zaaleetanga zaabu okuva e Ofiri, n’emitoogo mingi, era n’amayinja ag’omuwendo.
12 And the king made of the thyine trees the rails of the house of the Lord, and of the king’s house, and citterns and harps for singers: there were no such thyine trees as these brought, nor seen unto this day.)
Kabaka yakozesa emitoogo okukola empagi za yeekaalu ya Mukama Katonda n’ez’olubiri lw’obwakabaka, n’okukola ennanga, n’entongooli z’abayimbi. Tewalabikanga mitoogo mingi bwe gityo n’okutuusa ku lunaku lwa leero.)
13 And king Solomon gave the queen of Saba all that she desired, and asked of him: besides what he offered he himself of his royal bounty. And she returned, and went to her own country with her servants.
Awo kabaka Sulemaani n’awa kabaka omukazi ow’e Seeba byonna bye yayagala ne bye yasaba, obutassaako ebyo Sulemaani bye yamuwa okuva ku byobugagga bw’obwakabaka bwe. Oluvannyuma kabaka omukazi ow’e Seeba n’addayo mu nsi ye n’ekibiina ky’abantu be, be yajja nabo.
14 And the weight of the gold that was brought to Solomon every year, was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold:
Obuzito obwa zaabu obwaleetebwanga eri Sulemaani buli mwaka bwali ttani amakumi abiri mu ssatu,
15 Besides that which the men brought him that were over the tributes, and the merchants, and they that sold by retail, and all the kings of Arabia, and the governors of the country.
nga tobaliddeeko musolo ogwawebwangayo abasuubuzi n’ab’ebyamaguzi, ate era n’ogwasoloozebwanga okuva ku bakabaka Abawalabu bonna ne bagavana.
16 And Solomon made two hundred shields of the purest gold: he allowed six hundred sides of gold for the plates of one shield.
Kabaka Sulemaani yaweesa engabo ennene ebikumi bibiri mu zaabu, buli ngabo ng’erimu kilo ssatu n’ekitundu eza zaabu.
17 And three hundred targets of fine gold: three hundred pounds of gold covered one target: and the king put them in the house of the forest of Libanus.
Yakola n’engabo entono ebikumi bisatu, nga nazo za zaabu, buli ngabo nga ya kilo emu n’ekitundu eza zaabu. Ezo zonna kabaka yaziterekanga mu lubiri olwazimbibwa mu miti egyava mu kibira kya Lebanooni.
18 King Solomon also made a great throne of ivory: and overlaid it with the finest gold.
Awo kabaka n’akola entebe ey’obwakabaka ennene ddala nga ya masanga n’agibikkako zaabu ennongoose.
19 It had six steps: and the top of the throne was round behind: and there were two hands on either side holding the seat: and two lions stood, one at each hand.
Entebe ey’obwakabaka yalina amadaala mukaaga, waggulu waayo aweesigamwa nga weekulungirivu. Eruuyi n’eruuyi w’entebe waaliyo empologoma nga ziyimiridde ku mabbali g’emikono.
20 And twelve little lions stood upon the six steps on the one side and on the other: there was no such work made in any kingdom.
Empologoma kkumi na bbiri zaali ku madaala mukaaga, eruuyi mukaaga n’eruuyi mukaaga. Tewaali ntebe ndala yonna ey’obwakabaka eyali ekoleddwa eri ng’eyo mu bwakabaka obulala bwonna mu biseera ebyo.
21 Moreover all the vessels, out of which king Solomon drank, were of gold: and all the furniture of the house of the forest of Libanus was of most pure gold: there was no silver, nor was any account made of it in the days of Solomon:
Ebikompe byonna ebya kabaka Sulemaani byali bya zaabu, ne byonna ebyali mu lubiri lwe olwakolebwa mu kibira kya Lebanooni. Tewali kyakolebwa mu ffeeza, kubanga ffeeza teyali ya muwendo nnyo mu biro ebyo.
22 For the king’s navy, once in three years, went with the navy of Hiram by sea to Tharsis, and brought from thence gold, and silver, and elephants’ teeth, and apes, and peacocks.
Kabaka yalina ebyombo ebya maguzi ku nnyanja ebyakozesebwanga awamu n’ebya Kiramu, ebyaleetanga zaabu, ne ffeeza, n’amasanga, n’enkobe n’enkima eza buli ngeri omulundi gumu mu buli myaka esatu.
23 And king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth in riches, and wisdom.
Kabaka Sulemaani yalina obugagga bungi nnyo nnyini, n’amagezi mangi nnyo okusinga bakabaka abalala bonna ku nsi.
24 And all the earth desired to see Solomon’s face, to hear his wisdom, which God had given in his heart.
Ensi yonna yanoonyanga era yeesunganga okulaba ku Sulemaani n’okuwuliriza amagezi, Katonda ge yamuwa.
25 And every one brought him presents, vessels of silver and of gold, garments and armour, and spices, and horses and mules every year.
Buli mwaka, buli omu eyajjanga okumukyalira, yamuleeteranga ekirabo, oluusi yabeeranga zaabu ne ffeeza, oluusi ngoye, oluusi byakulwanyisa, oluusi byakaloosa, oluusi mbalaasi n’ennyumbu.
26 And Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen, and he had a thousand four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horseman: and he bestowed them in fenced cities, and with the king in Jerusalem.
Sulemaani yakuŋŋaanya embalaasi n’amagaali, era yalina amagaali lukumi mu bina, n’abeebagazi b’embalaasi omutwalo gumu mu enkumi bbiri, be yakuumiranga mu bibuga omwakuumirwanga amagaali, ne mu Yerusaalemi okumpi naye.
27 And he made silver to be as plentiful in Jerusalem as stones: and cedars to be as common as sycamores which grow in the plains.
Kabaka n’afuula ffeeza okuba ng’amayinja aga bulijjo mu Yerusaalemi, n’emivule n’agifuula okuba ng’emisukamooli egiri mu biwonvu olw’obungi bwagyo.
28 And horses were brought for Solomon out of Egypt, and Coa: for the king’s merchants brought them out of Coa, and bought them at a set price.
Embalaasi za Sulemaani zaagulibwanga mu Misiri.
29 And a chariot of four horses came out of Egypt, for six hundred sides of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty. And after this manner did all the kings of the Hethites, and of Syria, sell horses.
Eggaali zaagulibwanga kilo musanvu eza ffeeza, na buli mbalaasi ng’egulibwa kilo emu n’ekitundu eza ffeeza mu Misiri. Ate era baazitunzanga ne bakabaka ab’Abakiiti ne bakabaka ab’e Busuuli.
