Chronicles II 9
1 And the queen of Saba heard [of] the name of Solomon, and she came to Jerusalem with a very large force, to prove Solomon with hard questions, and [she had] camels bearing spices in abundance, and gold, and precious stones: and she came to Solomon, and told him all that was in her mind.
Larenn peyi Saba tande pale ki kalite moun Salomon te ye. Li vwayaje pou lavil Jerizalèm pou l' sonde konesans Salomon avèk kèk keksyon difisil. Se konsa, li mennen anpil moun avè l' ak anpil chamo chaje odè, fèy santi bon, kantite lò ak pyè koute chè. Lè li rive devan Salomon, li poze l' tout kalite keksyon li te fè lide mande l'.
2 And Solomon told her all her words; and there passed not a word from Solomon which he told her not.
Salomon menm reponn tout keksyon l' yo. pa t' gen anyen ki te twò difisil pou li reponn.
3 And the queen of Saba saw the wisdom of Solomon, and the house which he had built,
Larenn peyi Saba a wè jan Salomon te gen anpil bon konprann. Li wè palè li te bati a.
4 and the meat of the tables, and the sitting of his servants, and the standing of his ministers, and their raiment; and his cupbearers, and their apparel; and the whole burnt offerings which he offered up in the house of the Lord; then she was in ecstasy.
Li wè kalite manje yo te sèvi sou tab li, kay li te fè bati pou chèf li yo, jan li te òganize moun k'ap travay nan palè a, rad inifòm yo te genyen, domestik ki t'ap sèvi l' bweson ak bèt li te ofri pou boule nèt pou Seyè a nan Tanp lan. Lè li wè tou sa, li pèdi lapawòl sitèlman li te sezi.
5 And she said to the king, [It was] a true report which I heard in my land concerning your words, and concerning your wisdom.
Li di wa Salomon konsa: -Sa m' te tande nan peyi m' sou ou ak sou bon konprann ou an, se te vre!
6 Yet I believed not the reports until I came, and my eyes saw: and, behold, the half of the abundance of your wisdom was not told me: you have exceeded the report which I heard.
Men, mwen pa t' vle kwè toutotan mwen pa t' vini wè ak je pa mwen. Men, sa m' te tande a se pa mwatye sa m' wè a. Bon konprann ou ak richès ou pi plis pase sa yo te di a.
7 Blessed [are] your men, blessed [are] these your servants, who stand before you continually, and hear your wisdom.
Ala bèl chans moun pa ou yo genyen! Ala bèl chans pou moun k'ap travay avè ou yo! Yo toujou la devan ou ap tande bèl pawòl k'ap soti nan bouch ou!
8 Blessed be the Lord your God, who took pleasure in you, to set you upon his throne for a king, to the Lord your God: forasmuch as the Lord your God loved Israel to establish them for ever, therefore he has set you over them for a king to execute judgment and justice.
Lwanj pou Seyè a, Bondye ou la! Li moutre jan li kontan avè ou. Li mete ou chita sou fotèy li a pou ou te ka wa peyi Izrayèl la. Li menm ki renmen peyi Izrayèl la, li vle pou peyi a pa janm disparèt. Li mete ou wa pou ou ka kenbe peyi a nan lòd, nan bon chemen, san patipri.
9 And she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices in very great abundance, and precious stones: and there were not [any where else] such spices as those which the queen of Saba gave king Solomon.
Larenn Saba a fè wa a kado twa tòn edmi lò ak kantite fèy santi bon ak anpil pyè koute chè. Pat janm rive gen nan pèyi Izrayèl la kantite fèy santi bon tankou sa larenn Saba a te bay wa Salomon lè sa a.
10 And the servants of Solomon and the servants of Chiram brought gold to Solomon out of Suphir, and pine timber, and precious stones.
Moun Iram yo ansanm ak moun Salomon yo, ki te al chache lò nan peyi Ofi, te pote yon gwo kantite bwa koray ak anpil bèl pyè koute chè soti nan menm peyi a.
11 And the king made of the pine timber steps to the house of the Lord, and to the king's house, and harps and lutes for the singers: and such were not seen before in the land of Juda.
Salomon sèvi ak bwa koray yo pou fè planche nan Tanp lan ak nan palè a. Li fè gita ak bandjo pou mizisyen yo ak bwa sa a tou. Yo pa t' janm wè bagay konsa nan peyi Jida a anvan sa.
12 And king Solomon gave to the queen of Saba all that she requested, besides all that she brought to king Solomon: and she returned to her [own] land.
Wa Salomon te bay larenn peyi Saba a tou sa li te mande l', san konte kado li te ba li pou koresponn ak sa larenn lan te pote ba li. Apre sa, larenn lan tounen tounen l' nan peyi Saba ansanm ak tout moun ki te avè l' yo.
13 And the weight of the gold that was brought to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold,
Chak lanne, wa Salomon te resevwa vennsenk tòn lò,
14 besides what the men who were regularly appointed and the merchants brought, and all the kings of Arabia and princes of the land: all brought gold and silver to king Solomon.
san konte lajan li te resevwa nan men moun k'ap fè trafik yo ak moun k'ap fè kòmès yo. Tout wa peyi Arabi yo ak gouvènè pèp Izrayèl yo te pote lò ak ajan bay Salomon tou.
15 And king Solomon made two hundred shields of beaten gold: there were six hundred [shekels] of pure gold to one shield.
Salomon te fè fè desan (200) gwo plak pwotèj an fè. Lèfini, li fè kouvri yo chak ak yon kouch lò ki peze douz liv.
16 And three hundred buckles of beaten gold: [the weight] of three hundred gold shekels went to one buckler: and the king placed them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
Li fè fè twasan (300) ti plak pwotèj, li fè kouvri yo chak ak yon kouch lò ki peze sis liv. Li mete tout plak pwotèj sa yo nan salon Rakbwa Peyi Liban an.
17 And the king made a great throne of ivory, and he gilded it with pure gold.
Li fè fè tou yon gwo fotèy ak kòn elefan. Li fè kouvri l' ak pi bon kalite lò ki genyen.
18 And [there were] six steps to the throne, riveted with gold, and elbows on either side of the seat of the throne, and two lions standing by the elbows:
Pou rive bò fotèy la, se pou ou te moute sis mach eskalye. Devan fotèy la te gen yon ti ban an lò pou wa a lonje pye l'. Fotèy la te gen de manch. Sou kote manch yo, sou chak bò te gen pòtre yon lyon.
19 and twelve lions standing there on the six steps on each side. There was not the like in any [other] kingdom.
Te gen douz lyon sou mach eskalye yo, de sou chak mach nan de pwent yo. Pat gen ankenn lòt peyi ki te gen yon fotèy pou wa parèy ak sa a.
20 And all king Solomon's vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were covered with gold: silver was not thought anything of in the days of Solomon.
Tout gode wa Salomon te sèvi pou l' bwè te fèt an lò. Tout bagay ki te sèvi nan Salon Rakbwa Peyi Liban an te fèt an bon lò. Yo pa t' sèvi ak ajan menm, paske sou rèy Salomon, ajan pa t' vo anyen.
21 For a ship went for the king to Tharsis with the servants of Chiram: once every three years came vessels from Tharsis to the king, laden with gold, and silver, and ivory, and apes.
Li te gen yon kantite batiman pa l' ki t'ap vwayaje ale nan peyi Tasis. Se moun Iram yo ki te mennen yo pou li. Chak twazan, batiman yo te tounen chaje ak lò, ajan, kòn elefan, pan ak makak.
22 And Solomon exceeded all [other] kings both in riches and wisdom.
Wa Salomon te pi rich pase tout lòt wa yo. Li te gen plis bon konprann pase yo tout.
23 And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
Tout wa toupatou te vin wè Salomon pou tande bèl pawòl Bondye te mete nan bouch li.
24 And they brought every one his gifts, silver vessels and golden vessels, and raiment, myrrh and spices, horses and mules, a rate every year.
Chak moun ki te vini te pote kado pou li, bagay ki fèt an ajan ak an lò, rad, zam, fèy santi bon, chwal ak milèt. Chak lanne se te konsa.
25 And Solomon had four thousand mares for chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen; and he put them in the chariot cities, and with the king in Jerusalem.
Salomon te gen katmil (4.000) kay kote li te mete chwal li yo ak cha lagè, ak douzmil (12.000) chwal pou sòlda kavalye yo. Li mete yon pòsyon nan lavil kote li te gen cha li yo, rès yo li mete yo lavil Jerizalèm bò kote l'.
26 And he rules over all the kings from the river even to the land of the Philistines, and to the borders of Egypt.
Salomon te sèl chèf sou tout wa ki t'ap gouvènen depi larivyè Lefrat rive nan peyi Filisti, jouk sou fwontyè peyi Lejip.
27 And the king made gold and silver in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars as the sycamore trees in the plain for abundance.
Pandan tout rèy li, ajan te tankou wòch lavil Jerizalèm. Bwa sèd menm, ou te jwenn sa an kantite tankou pye sikomò nan rakbwa nan plenn peyi Jida yo.
28 And Solomon imported horses from Egypt, and from every [other] country.
Se nan peyi Lejip ak nan tout lòt peyi Salomon te fè chache chwal li yo.
29 And the rest of the acts of Solomon, the first and the last, behold, these are written in the words of Nathan the prophet, and in the words of Achia the Selonite, and in the visions of Joel the seer concerning Jeroboam the son of Nabat.
Tout rès istwa Salomon an, depi premye jou li te moute wa a rive jouk dènye jwa a, nou jwenn li nan liv istwa pwofèt Natan, nan liv mesaj Akija, moun lavil Silo a, ak nan liv vizyon pwofèt Ido ki pale sou wa Jewoboram, pitit Nebat la.
30 And Solomon reigned over all Israel forty years.
Salomon te wa lavil Jerizalèm, li te gouvènen tout pèp Izrayèl la pandan karantan.
31 And Solomon fell asleep, and they buried him in the city of David his father: and Roboam his son reigned in his stead.
Lè li mouri, yo antere l' nan lavil David, papa l'. Se Woboram, pitit li, ki moute wa nan plas li.
