1 Kings 10

1 And the Queene of Sheba hearing ye fame of Salomon (concerning the Name of the Lord) came to proue him with hard questions.

Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻe he tuʻi fefine ʻo Sipa ki he ongoongo ʻo Solomone ko e meʻa ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova, naʻa ne haʻu ke ʻahiʻahi ʻaki ia ʻae ngaahi fehuʻi ʻilongataʻa.

2 And she came to Ierusalem with a verie great traine, and camels that bare sweete odours, and golde exceeding much, and precious stones: and shee came to Salomon, and communed with him of all that was in her heart.

Pea naʻe haʻu ia ki Selūsalema mo e fuʻu fononga tokolahi, mo e fanga kāmeli naʻe fetuku ʻae ngaahi meʻa namu kakala, mo e koula lahi ʻaupito, mo e ngaahi maka mahuʻinga: pea ʻi heʻene hoko mai kia Solomone, naʻa ne talanoa mo ia ki he meʻa kotoa pē naʻe ʻi hono loto.

3 And Salomon declared vnto her all her questions: nothing was hid from the King, which he expounded not vnto her.

Pea naʻe tali ʻe Solomone ʻa ʻene ngaahi fehuʻi kotoa pē: naʻe ʻikai fufū mei he tuʻi ha meʻa ʻe taha, ke ne taʻefakamatalaʻia kiate ia.

4 Then the Queene of Sheba sawe all Salomons wisedome, and the house that he had built,

Pea hili ʻae mamata ʻe he tuʻi fefine ʻo Sipa ki he poto kotoa pē ʻa Solomone, pea mo e fale ʻaia naʻa ne langa,

5 And the meate of his table, and the sitting of his seruants, and the order of his ministers, and their apparel, and his drinking vessels, and his burnt offrings, that he offered in the house of the Lord, and she was greatly astonied.

Mo e meʻakai ʻi hono keinangaʻanga, mo e anga ʻoe nofo ʻa ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, mo e toutou ʻa ʻene kautauhi, mo honau kofu, mo kinautolu naʻe tauhi ʻa ʻene meʻainu, pea mo e hala ʻaia naʻa ne ʻalu hake ai ki he fale ʻo Sihova; naʻe vaivai ai ʻa hono loto ʻiate ia.

6 And shee sayde vnto the King, It was a true worde that I heard in mine owne lande of thy sayings, and of thy wisedome.

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia ki he tuʻi, “Ta ko e lea moʻoni ia: ʻaia naʻaku fanongo ki ai ʻi hoku fonua ʻoʻoku ki hoʻo ngaahi ngāue pea mo hoʻo poto.

7 Howebeit I beleeued not this report till I came, and had seene it with mine eyes: but lo, ye one halfe was not tolde mee: for thou hast more wisedome and prosperitie, then I haue heard by report.

Ka naʻe ʻikai te u tui ki he talanoa, kaeʻoua ke u haʻu, pea mamata ki ai ʻa hoku mata: pea vakai, naʻe ʻikai tala mai ʻa hono vahe ua ʻoe meʻa: kuo lahi hake ʻa hoʻo poto pea mo hoʻo monūʻia ʻi he ongoongo naʻaku fanongo ki ai.

8 Happy are the men, happie are these thy seruants, which stande euer before thee, and heare thy wisedome.

‌ʻOku monūʻia ʻa hoʻo kau tangata, ʻoku monūʻia ʻa hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ni, ʻoku tutuʻumaʻu aipe ʻi ho ʻao, ʻo [nau ]fanongo ki hoʻo poto.

9 Blessed be the Lord thy God, which loued thee, to set thee on the throne of Israel, because the Lord loued Israel for euer and made thee King to doe equitie and righteousnesse.

Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻaia kuo lōlōfie lelei ʻiate koe, ke fakanofo koe ki he nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻi ʻIsileli: koeʻuhi naʻe ʻofa taʻengata ʻa Sihova ki ʻIsileli, ko ia kuo ne fakanofo ai koe ko e tuʻi, ke fai ʻae fakamaau mo e fai totonu.”

10 And she gaue the King sixe score talents of golde, and of sweete odours exceeding much, and precious stones. There came no more such aboundance of sweete odours, as the Queene of Sheba gaue to King Salomon.

Pea naʻa ne foaki ki he tuʻi ʻae taleniti koula ʻe teau ma uofulu, mo e ngaahi meʻa namu kakala fuʻu lahi ʻaupito, pea mo e ngaahi maka mahuʻinga: naʻe ʻikai toe ʻomi ha ngaahi meʻa namu kakala ke lahi pehē fau ʻo tatau mo ia naʻe foaki kia Solomone ʻe he tuʻi fefine ʻo Sipa.

11 The nauie also of Hiram (that caried gold from Ophir) brought likewise great plentie of Almuggim trees from Ophir and precious stones.

Pea ko e folau ʻo Helami, ʻaia naʻe fetuku mai ʻae koula mei Ofeli, naʻe ʻomi ai foki mei Ofeli ʻae ngaahi ʻakau ko e ʻalimuku ʻo lahi ʻaupito, mo e ngaahi maka mahuʻinga.

12 And the King made of ye Almuggim trees pillars for the house of the Lord, and for ye Kings palace, and made harpes and psalteries for singers. There came no more such Almuggim trees, nor were any more seene vnto this day.

Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻaki ʻae ʻakau ko e ʻalimuku ʻe he tuʻi ʻae ngaahi pou maʻae fale ʻo Sihova, pea maʻae fale ʻoe tuʻi, ko e ngaahi haʻape foki mo e meʻa hiva maʻae kau fasi hiva; talu mei ai ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni, kuo ʻikai ʻomi pe mamata ki ai, ha ngaahi ʻakau ʻalimuku ke hangē ko ia.

13 And King Salomon gaue vnto the Queene of Sheba, whatsoeuer she would aske, besides that, which Salomon gaue her of his kingly liberalitie: so she returned and went to her owne countrey, both shee, and her seruantes.

Pea naʻe foaki ʻe Solomone ki he tuʻi fefine ʻo Sipa ʻa ʻene holi kotoa pē, ʻae meʻa fulipē naʻa ne kole ki ai, mo ia kotoa pē naʻe foaki ʻe Solomone ko ʻene foaki ʻataʻatā fakatuʻi. Pea naʻa ne liliu atu ʻo toe foki ki hono fonua ʻoʻona, ʻaia mo ʻene kautauhi.

14 Also the weight of golde, that came to Salomon in one yeere, was sixe hundreth three score and six talents of gold,

Pea ko eni ko hono mamafa ʻoe koula naʻe ʻomi kia Solomone ʻi he taʻu pe taha ko e taleniti ʻe onongeau mo e onongofulu ma ono ʻoe koula,

15 Besides that he had of marchant men and of the marchandises of them that solde spices, and of all the Kinges of Arabia, and of the princes of the countrey.

Ka ʻoku lau kehe ʻaia naʻa ne maʻu mei he kau fakatau, pea ʻi he fai fakatau mo e kau fakatau meʻa namu kakala, pea mei he ngaahi tuʻi kotoa pē ʻo ʻAlepea, pea mo e houʻeiki pule ʻoe fonua.

16 And King Salomon made two hundreth targets of beaten golde, sixe hundreth shekels of gold went to a target:

Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻe Solomone ʻae pā koula ʻe uangeau naʻe tuki: ko e [sikeli ʻe ]onongeau ʻoe koula naʻe ʻi he pā pe taha.

17 And three hundreth shieldes of beaten golde, three pound of gold went to one shielde: and the King put them in the house of the wood of Lebanon.

Pea naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae ngaahi pā iiki ʻe tolungeau ʻaki ʻae koula naʻe tuki; ko e mano ʻe tolu ʻoe koula naʻe ʻi he pā pe taha: pea naʻe tuku ia ʻe he tuʻi ki he fale ʻi he vao ʻakau ʻo Lepanoni.

18 Then the King made a great throne of yuorie, and couered it with the best golde.

Naʻe ngaohi foki ʻe he tuʻi ha fuʻu nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻaki ʻae lei, pea naʻa ne fonofono ia ʻaki ʻae koula lelei lahi.

19 And the throne had six steps, and the top of the throne was round behind, and there were stayes on either side on the place of the throne, and two lions standing by the stayes.

Naʻe ʻi he nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻae lakaʻanga ʻe ono, pea naʻe fuopotopoto ʻae potu ki ʻolunga ʻi mui: pea naʻe ʻai ʻae ʻaiʻanga nima ʻi hono kaokao fakatouʻosi ʻoe potu hekaʻanga, pea naʻe tuʻu ʻae laione ʻe ua ʻo ofi ki he ʻaiʻanga nima.

20 And there stoode twelue lions on the sixe steps on either side: there was not the like made in any kingdome.

Pea naʻe tuʻu ʻi hono potu ʻe taha ʻae laione ʻe hongofulu ma ua, pea ʻi he potu kehe ʻe taha ʻi he lakaʻanga ʻe ono; naʻe ʻikai ngaohi hano tatau ʻi ha puleʻanga kehe.

21 And all King Salomons drinking vessels were of golde, and all the vessels of the house of the woode of Lebanon were of pure golde, none were of siluer: for it was nothing esteemed in the dayes of Salomon.

Pea naʻe [ngaohi ʻaki ]ʻae koula ʻae ngaahi ipu inu ʻae tuʻi ko Solomone, pea ko e ngaahi ipu ʻoe fale ʻi he vao ʻakau ʻo Lepanoni, naʻe ʻoe koula moʻoniia; naʻe ʻikai ha siliva ʻi ai: naʻe ʻikai mahuʻinga ia ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Solomone.

22 For the King had on the sea the nauie of Tharshish with the nauie of Hiram: once in three yere came the nauie of Tharshish, and brought golde and siluer, yuorie, and apes and peacockes.

He naʻe ʻalu ʻae folau ʻae tuʻi ʻi tahi ko e ngaahi vaka Tasisi, fakataha mo e folau ʻo Helami: naʻe haʻu tuʻo taha ʻi he taʻu ʻe tolu ʻae folau mei Tasisi, ke ʻomi ʻae koula, mo e siliva, mo e lei, mo e fanga ngeli, pea mo e fanga pikoka.

23 So King Salomon exceeded all the kings of the earth both in riches and in wisedome.

Ko ia naʻe fungani hake ai ʻae tuʻi ko Solomone ʻi he ngaahi tuʻi kotoa pē ʻo māmani, ʻi he koloaʻia mo e poto.

24 And al the world sought to see Salomon, to heare his wisedome, which God had put in his heart,

Pea naʻe kumi kia Solomone ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻo māmani, ke fanongo ki heʻene poto, ʻaia naʻe ʻai ki hono loto ʻe he ʻOtua.

25 And they brought euery man his present, vessels of siluer, and vessels of golde, and raiment, and armour, and sweete odours, horses and mules, from yeere to yeere.

Pea naʻe ʻomi ʻe he tangata taki taha kotoa pē ʻa ʻene meʻaʻofa, ko e ngaahi meʻa siliva, mo e ngaahi meʻa koula, mo e ngaahi kofu, mo e ngaahi mahafutau, mo e ngaahi meʻa namu kakala, mo e fanga hoosi, mo e fanga miuli, ko e vāhenga meʻa ʻi he ngaahi taʻu tukufakaholo.

26 Then Salomon gathered together charrets and horsemen: and he had a thousand and foure hundreth charets, and twelue thousande horsemen, whome hee placed in the charet cities, and with the King at Ierusalem.

Pea naʻe tānaki fakataha ʻe Solomone ʻae ngaahi saliote mo e kau heka hoosi: pea naʻa ne maʻu ʻae saliote ʻe taha afe mo e fāngeau, mo e kau heka hoosi ʻe taha mano mo e ua afe, ʻaia naʻa ne fakanofo ki he ngaahi kolo maʻae ngaahi saliote, pea ki he tuʻi ʻi Selūsalema.

27 And the King gaue siluer in Ierusalem as stones, and gaue cedars as the wilde figtrees that growe abundantly in the plaine.

Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻae siliva ʻe he tuʻi ke hangē ia ko e ngaahi maka ʻi Selūsalema, pea ne ngaohi ʻae ngaahi sita ke tatau hono lahi ʻoʻona mo e ngaahi ʻakau sukamino ʻoku tuʻu ʻi he teleʻa.

28 Also Salomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and fine linen: the Kings marchants receiued the linen for a price.

Pea naʻe ʻomi kia Solomone ʻae fanga hoosi mei ʻIsipite, ʻaia naʻe tauaki: pea naʻe maʻu ʻaia naʻe tānaki ʻe he kau fakatau ʻae tuʻi ʻi he totongi.

29 There came vp and went out of Egypt some charet, worth sixe hundreth shekels of siluer: that is, one horse, an hundreth and fiftie and thus they brought horses to all the Kings of the Hittites and to the Kings of Aram by their meanes.

Pea naʻe ʻalu atu mo ʻohake ha saliote mei ʻIsipite ko hono totongi ko e [konga ]siliva ʻe onongeau; pea ko e totongi ki ha hoosi ʻe taha ko e teau ma nimangofulu: pea naʻe pehē ʻenau taufetuku foki ia ki he ngaahi tuʻi kotoa pē ʻoe kakai Heti pea mo e ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Silia.
