2 Chronicles 9
1 And when the Queene of Sheba heard of the fame of Salomon, she came to proue Salomon with hard questions at Ierusalem, with a very great traine, and camels that bare sweete odours and much golde, and precious stones: and when she came to Salomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart.
Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻae tuʻi fefine ʻo Sipa ki he ongoongo ʻo Solomone naʻa ne haʻu ki Selūsalema ke ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻa Solomone ʻaki ʻae ngaahi fehuʻi ʻilongataʻa, ko ia 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.
2 And Salomon declared her all her questions, and there was nothing hid from Salomon, which he declared not vnto her.
Pea naʻe tali ʻe Solomone ʻa ʻene ngaahi fehuʻi kotoa pē: pea naʻe ʻikai fufū meia Solomone ha meʻa ke ne taʻefakamatala ia kiate ia.
3 Then the Queene of Sheba sawe the wisedome of Salomon, and the house that he had buylt,
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,
4 And the meate of his table, and the sitting of his seruants, and the order of his wayters, and their apparel, and his butlers, and their apparel, and his burnt offrings which he offred 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 toutuʻu, ʻa ʻene kau tauhi, mo honau kofu: mo kinautolu foki naʻe tauhi ʻa ʻene meʻainu, mo honau kofu ʻonautolu, pea mo e hala ʻaia naʻa ne ʻalu hake ai ki he fale ʻo Sihova: naʻe vaivai ʻa hono loto ʻiate ia.
5 And she saide to the King, It was a true worde which 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.
6 Howbeit I beleeued not their report, vntil I came, and mine eyes had seene it: and beholde, the one halfe of thy great wisedom was not told me: for thou exceedest the fame that I heard.
Ka naʻe ʻikai te u tui ki heʻenau lea, kaeʻoua ke u haʻu, pea mamata ki ai ʻa hoku mata: pea vakai, naʻe ʻikai tala mai hono vaheua ʻoe lahi ʻo hoʻo poto: he ʻoku ke lahi hake ʻi he ongoongo ko ia naʻaku fanongo ki ai.
7 Happie are thy men, and happie are these thy seruants, which stande before thee alway, and heare thy wisedome.
ʻOku monūʻia ʻa hoʻo kau tangata, ʻoku monūʻia ʻa hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ko eni ʻoku tutuʻumaʻu aipe ʻi ho ʻao, ʻo [nau ]fanongo ki hoʻo poto.
8 Blessed be the Lord thy God, which loued thee, to set thee on his throne as King, in the steade of the Lord thy God: because thy God loueth Israel, to establish it for euer, therefore hath he made thee King ouer them, to execute iudgement and iustice.
Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻaia kuo lōlōfie lelei kiate koe ke fakanofo koe ki hono nofoʻa fakatuʻi, ko e tuʻi maʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua: koeʻuhi naʻe ʻofa ʻa ho ʻOtua ki ʻIsileli, ke fokotuʻu ʻakinautolu ke taʻengata: ko ia naʻa ne fakanofo ai koe ke tuʻi kiate kinautolu, ke fai ʻae fakamaau mo e fai totonu.”
9 Then she gaue the King sixe score talents of golde, and of sweete odours exceeding much and precious stones: neither was there such sweete odours since, as the Queene of Sheba gaue vnto 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, mo e ngaahi maka mahuʻinga: pea naʻe ʻikai ha ngaahi meʻa kakala ke tatau mo ia naʻe foaki kia Solomone ʻe he tuʻi fefine ʻo Sipa.
10 And the seruants also of Huram, and the seruants of Salomon which brought golde from Ophir, brought Algummim wood and precious stones.
Pea ko e kau tamaioʻeiki foki ʻa Helami mo e kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa Solomone, ʻaia naʻe ʻomi ʻae koula mei Ofeli, naʻa [nau ]ʻomi ʻae ngaahi ʻakau ʻalikumi pea mo e ngaahi maka mahuʻinga.
11 And the King made of the Algummim wood staires in the house of the Lord, and in the Kings house, and harpes and violes for singers: and there was no such seene before in the lande of Iudah.
Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻe he tuʻi ʻaki ʻae ngaahi ʻakau ʻalikumi, ʻae ngaahi pou ki he fale ʻo Sihova, pea ki he fale ʻoe tuʻi, mo e ngaahi haʻape mo e ngaahi meʻa hiva maʻae kau fasi hiva: pea naʻe teʻeki ai ke mamata ʻe he fonua ʻo Siuta ki he ngaahi meʻa pehē.
12 And King Salomon gaue to the Queene of Sheba euery pleasant thing that she asked, besides for that which she had brought vnto the King: so she returned and went to her owne countrey, both she, and her seruants.
Pea naʻe foaki ʻe Solomone ki he tuʻi fefine ʻo Sipa ʻa ʻene holi kotoa pē, ʻae meʻa fulipē naʻa ne kole ki ai, ko e fakalahi ʻo ʻene [tali ʻae koloa ]naʻa ne fetuku mai ki he tuʻi. Pea pehē, naʻa ne liliu atu, ʻo ʻalu ki hono fonua ʻoʻona ʻaia mo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki.
13 Also the weight of golde that came to Salomon in one yeere, was sixe hundreth three score and sixe talents of golde,
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:
14 Besides that which chapmen and marchants brought: and all the Kings of Arabia, and the princes of the countrey brought golde and siluer to Salomon.
Ka naʻe lau kehe ʻaia naʻe fetuku mai ʻe he kau tangata naʻe fai ʻae fefakatauʻaki. Pea naʻe ʻomi ʻae koula mo e siliva kia Solomone ʻe he ngaahi tuʻi kotoa pē ʻo ʻAlepea, pea ʻe he kau pule ʻoe ngaahi vahe fonua.
15 And King Salomon made two hundreth targets of beaten golde, and sixe hundreth shekels of beaten golde went to one target,
Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻe Solomone ko e tuʻi ʻae ngaahi pā ʻe uangeau ʻaki ʻae koula naʻe tuki: ko e [sikeli ]ʻe onongeau ʻoe koula naʻe ʻi he pā pe taha.
16 And three hundreth shieldes of beaten golde: three hundreth shekels of golde 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 [sikeli ]ʻe tolungeau ʻoe koula naʻe ʻi he pā pe taha. Pea naʻe tuku ia ʻe he tuʻi ki he fale ʻi he vao ʻakau ʻo Lepanoni.
17 And the King made a great throne of yuorie and ouerlaid it with pure golde.
Naʻe ngaohi foki ʻe he tuʻi ha fuʻu nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻaki ʻae lei, pea naʻa ne ʻaofi ʻaki ia ʻae koula lelei lahi.
18 And the throne had sixe steppes, with a footestoole of gold fastened to the throne, and stayes on either side on the place of the seate, and two lyons standing by the stayes.
Naʻe ai ʻae lakaʻanga ʻe ono ke [ʻalu hake ai ]ki he nofoʻa fakatuʻi, mo e tuʻunga vaʻe koula, ʻaia naʻe fakamaʻu ki he nofoʻa fakatuʻi, mo e ʻaiʻanga nima ʻi hono potu kaokao ʻe ua ʻoe hekaʻanga, mo e laione ʻe ua naʻe tuʻu ofi ki he ʻaiʻanga nima:
19 And twelue lyons stoode there 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.
20 And all King Salomons drinking vessels were of golde, and all the vessels of the house of the wood of Lebanon were of pure gold: for siluer was nothing esteemed in ye dayes of Salomon.
Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻaki ʻae koula ʻae ngaahi ipu inu kotoa pē ʻoe tuʻi ko Solomone, pea naʻe ʻoe koula lelei ʻae ngaahi ipu kotoa pē ʻoe fale ʻi he vao ʻakau ʻo Lepanoni: naʻe ʻikai ha taha ʻoe siliva: he naʻe ʻikai lau ia ko e meʻa mahuʻinga ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Solomone.
21 For the Kings ships went to Tarshish with the seruants of Huram, euery three yeere once came the ships of Tarshish, and brought golde, and siluer, yuorie, and apes, and peacockes.
He naʻe ʻalu ʻae folau ʻae tuʻi ki Tasisi fakataha mo e kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa 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.
22 So King Salomon excelled all the Kings of the earth in riches and wisedome.
Pea naʻe lahi hake ʻae maʻu koloa mo e poto ʻa Solomone ʻi he ngaahi tuʻi kotoa pē ʻo māmani.
23 And all the Kings of the earth sought the presence of Salomon, to heare his wisedome that God had put in his heart.
Pea naʻe holi ke haʻu ki he ʻao ʻo Solomone ʻe he ngaahi tuʻi kotoa pē ʻo māmani, ke fanongo ki heʻene poto, ʻaia naʻe tuku ki hono loto ʻe he ʻOtua.
24 And they brought euery man his present, vessels of siluer, and vessels of golde, and raiment, armour, and sweet odours, horses, and mules, from yeere to yeere.
Pea naʻa nau ʻomi ʻe he tangata taki taha ʻa ʻene meʻaʻofa, ko e ngaahi meʻa siliva, mo e ngaahi meʻa koula, mo e ngaahi kofu, mo e ngaahi mahafutau, mo e meʻa namu kakala, mo e fanga hoosi, mo e fanga miuli, ko e tukuhau ʻi he taʻu kotoa pē.
25 And Salomon had foure thousand stalles of horses, and charets, and twelue thousand horsmen, whom he bestowed in the charet cities, and with the King at Ierusalem.
Pea naʻe maʻu ʻe Solomone ʻae potu fale tuʻuʻanga ʻe fā afe ki he fanga hoosi mo e ngaahi saliote, pea mo e kau heka hoosi ʻe taha mano mo e ua afe: ʻaia naʻa ne vahevahe [ke nofo ]ʻi he ngaahi kolo saliote, pea ki he tuʻi ʻi Selūsalema.
26 And he reigned ouer all the Kings from the Riuer euen vnto the land of the Philistims, and to the border of Egypt.
Pea naʻa ne pule ki he ngaahi tuʻi kotoa pē mei he vaitafe ʻo aʻu atu ki he fonua ʻoe kakai Filisitia, pea ʻe aʻu ki he mata fonua ʻo ʻIsipite.
27 And the King gaue siluer in Ierusalem, as stones, and gaue cedar trees as the wilde fig trees, that are aboundant in the plaine.
Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻae siliva ʻe he tuʻi ke tatau ʻi Selūsalema mo e ngaahi maka, pea ko e ngaahi ʻakau sita naʻe hangē ia ko e ngaahi ʻakau sukamino ʻaia naʻe ʻi he ngaahi potu tokalelei, ʻi hono lahi ʻaupito.
28 And they brought vnto Salomon horses out of Egypt, and out of all landes.
Pea naʻa nau ʻomi kia Solomone ʻae fanga hoosi mei ʻIsipite, pea mei he ngaahi fonua kotoa pē.
29 Concerning the rest of the actes of Salomon first and last, are they not written in the booke of Nathan the Prophet, and in the prophecie of Ahiiah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Ieedo the Seer against Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat?
Pea ko eni ko hono toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue ʻa Solomone, mei he ʻuluaki ki he kimui, ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi ʻa Natani ko e palōfita, pea ʻi he kikite ʻo ʻAhisa ko e tangata Sailo, pea ʻi he ngaahi kikite ʻo Ito ko e tangata kikite naʻe valoki kia Selopoami ko e foha ʻo Nipati?
30 And Salomon reigned in Ierusalem ouer all Israel fourtie yeeres.
Pea naʻe pule ʻa Solomone ʻi Selūsalema ki ʻIsileli kātoa ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngofulu.
31 And Salomon slept with his fathers, and they buryed him in the citie of Dauid his father: and Rehoboam his sonne reigned in his steade.
Pea naʻe mohe ʻa Solomone mo ʻene ngaahi tamai pea naʻe fai hono putu ʻi he “Kolo ʻo Tevita” ko ʻene tamai: pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe hono foha ko Lehopoami.
