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.
Mgbe eze nwanyị Sheba nụrụ akụkọ Solomọn, ọ bịara Jerusalem ka o were ọtụtụ ajụjụ siri ike nwalee ya. O du ọtụtụ ndị ozi bara ụba bịa, tinyere ọtụtụ ịnyịnya kamel ndị bu ụda dị iche iche, ọtụtụ ọlaedo na ọtụtụ nkume dị oke ọnụahịa dị iche iche. Ọ bịakwutere Solomọn, ya na ya kparịtara ụka banyere ihe niile nke dị ya nʼobi.
2 Solomon answered all her questions. There wasn’t anything hidden from Solomon which he didn’t tell her.
Solomọn zara ya ajụjụ ya niile. Ọ dịkwaghị ihe siiri ya ike ịkọwara ya.
3 When the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, the house that he had built,
Mgbe eze nwanyị Sheba hụrụ amamihe Solomọn, ma hụkwa ụlọeze o wuru,
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.
na ihe oriri a na-adọkwasị nʼelu tebul ya, usoro ọnọdụ nke ndịisi ọchịchị ya, na ndị guzo na-ejere ya ozi nʼuwe ha yi, ndị na-ebu iko ihe ọṅụṅụ nʼuwe ha, na aja nsure ọkụ niile ọ na-achụ nʼụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị. Ọ dịkwaghị ihe ọzọ ọ maara ọ ga-eme, maọbụ kwuo.
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.
Ọ sịrị eze, “Akụkọ niile m nọ nʼala nụ banyere ihe niile ị rụpụtara na amamihe gị bụ eziokwu.
6 However I didn’t believe their words until I came, and my eyes had seen it; and behold half of the greatness of your wisdom wasn’t told me. You exceed the fame that I heard!
Ma ekwenyeghị m ihe ha kwuru tutu ruo mgbe m bịara jiri anya m abụọ hụ ha. Nʼezie, ihe m nụrụ erughị ọkara nke ịdị ukwuu amamihe gị. Ị tụkwasịla ihe nʼakụkọ m nụrụ.
7 Happy are your men, and happy are these your servants, who stand continually before you and hear your wisdom.
Lee, ụdị ọṅụ ndị gị na-enwe. Lee, ụdị ọṅụ nke ndị ozi na-enwe, bụ ndị na-eguzo nʼihu gị mgbe niile na-anụ okwu amamihe gị.
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.”
Ngọzị dịrị Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị, onye nwere mmasị nʼebe ị nọ. O debere gị nʼocheeze ya dịka eze ịchị nʼaha Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke gị. Nʼihi ịhụnanya nke Chineke gị nwere nʼebe Izrel nọ, na mmasị ya ime ka ha guzosie ike ruo mgbe ebighị ebi. O meela gị eze ha, ka ị debe ikpe ziri ezi na ezi omume.”
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.
Emesịa, O nyere Solomọn onyinye ọlaedo ịdị arọ ya dị puku kilogram anọ, nyekwa ya ụda dị iche iche, na nkume oke ọnụahịa dị iche iche. Enwebeghị ụdị ụda dịka ndị ahụ eze nwanyị Sheba nyere eze Solomọn.
10 The servants of Huram and the servants of Solomon, who brought gold from Ophir, also brought algum trees and precious stones.
Ndị ohu Hiram na ndị ohu Solomọn bubatara ọlaedo site nʼỌfịa. Ha butekwara osisi algụm, na nkume dị oke ọnụahịa dị iche iche.
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.
Eze ji osisi algụm ndị ahụ mee nkwasa nrigo nʼụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị, na nke ụlọeze. O jikwa ya meere ndị na-abụ abụ ụbọ akwara na une. O nwebeghị oge ọzọ e nwere ụdị ngwa egwu e ji osisi ọma dị otu a kwaa nʼala Juda niile.
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.
Eze Solomọn nyekwara eze nwanyị Sheba ihe niile ọ chọrọ na ihe niile bụ nke ọ rịọrọ. O nyere ya karịa ihe niile o wetaara ya. Emesịa, ọ hapụrụ laghachi nʼala nke aka ya, ya na ndị na-ejere ya ozi.
13 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold,
Ọtụtụ ịdị arọ nke ọlaedo Solomọn na-enweta kwa afọ bụ puku kilogram iri abụọ na atọ,
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.
na-agụnyeghị uru nke na-esi nʼaka ndị na-atụ mgbereahịa na ndị na-azụ ahịa. Ọzọkwa, ndị eze niile nke dị Arebịa na ndịisi na-achị obodo niile nke ala ahụ, na-enwetara Solomọn ọlaọcha na ọlaedo.
15 King Solomon made two hundred large shields of beaten gold. Six hundred shekels of beaten gold went to one large shield.
Eze Solomọn kpụrụ narị ọta ọlaedo ukwu abụọ site nʼọlaedo etipịara etipịa. Ọ bụ ọlaedo ịdị arọ ya ruru kilogram isii ka e ji kpụọ ọta ọbụla.
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.
Ọ kpụkwara narị ọta nta atọ, nke sitere na ọlaedo etipịara etipịa. Ọ bụ ọlaedo ịdị arọ ya ruru kilogram atọ na ọkara ka eji kpụọ ọta ọbụla. Eze debere ha nʼụlọeze nʼOke Ọhịa Lebanọn.
17 Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold.
Eze mekwara ocheeze dị ukwu nke e ji ọdụ enyi na ọlaedo a nụchara anụcha machie
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.
Ocheeze ahụ nwere ihe nrigo isii na ihe ịtụkwasị ụkwụ eji ọlaọcha rụọ nke ejikọtara nʼahụ ya. E nwere ebe ntụkwasị aka nʼakụkụ abụọ ya, nke nwere oyiyi ọdụm abụọ guzo nʼakụkụ nke ọbụla nʼime ha.
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.
Ọdụm iri na abụọ na-eguzo nʼelu ihe nrigo isii ahụ, otu nʼakụkụ isi abụọ nke ihe nrigo ọbụla. Ọ dịkwaghị alaeze ọzọ dị nke e mere ihe dị otu a nye.
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.
Ihe niile Solomọn nwere nke e ji aṅụ ihe bụ ọlaedo ka e ji mee ha. Ngwongwo niile nke dị nʼime ụlọeze nʼOke Ọhịa Lebanọn bụkwa ọlaedo a nụchara anụcha ka e ji kpụọ ha. Ọ dịghị ihe e ji ọlaọcha kpụọ, nʼihi na-agụnyeghị ọlaọcha dịka ihe ọbụla nʼoge Solomọn.
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.
Eze nwere ọtụtụ ụgbọ mmiri e ji azụ ahịa nke ndị ohu Hiram na-elekọta. Otu ugbo nʼafọ atọ, ka ụgbọ ndị a na-alọta buru ọlaedo, ọlaọcha na ọdụ enyi, enwe na adaka dị iche iche bata.
22 So King Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.
Eze Solomọn bara ụba nʼakụ, nweekwa amamihe karịa ndị eze niile dị nʼụwa.
23 All the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
Ndị eze niile nke ụwa na-achọ ihu Solomọn, ka ha nụta okwu amamihe nke Chineke tinyere nʼobi ya.
24 They each brought tribute: vessels of silver, vessels of gold, clothing, armour, spices, horses, and mules every year.
Onye ọbụla bịakwutere ya na-ebutere ya onyinye ịnata ihuọma, ya bụ ngwa ọlaọcha na ọlaedo, na uwe dị iche iche, ngwa agha, ụda dị iche iche, ịnyịnya na ịnyịnya muul, nke a bụ kwa afọ, kwa afọ.
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.
Solomọn nwere ụlọ anụmanụ dị puku anọ maka ịnyịnya na ụgbọ agha, nwekwa puku ịnyịnya iri na abụọ ndị o dobere nʼobodo ụgbọ agha dị iche iche, na nʼebe eze nọ na Jerusalem.
26 He ruled over all the kings from the River even to the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt.
Ọ chịrị ndị eze niile site nʼosimiri Yufretis ruo nʼala ndị Filistia, rukwaa oke ala ndị Ijipt.
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.
Eze mere ka ọlaọcha baa ụba na Jerusalem, dịka nkume efu. O mekwara ka osisi sida dịka osisi sikamọ nke dị nʼala ala ugwu dị iche iche.
28 They brought horses for Solomon out of Egypt and out of all lands.
A na-esite nʼIjipt na nʼala ndị ọzọ dị iche iche atụbatara Solomọn ịnyịnya.
29 Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last, aren’t 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?
Ma banyere Ihe ndị ọzọ mere nʼoge ọchịchị Solomọn, site na mmalite ruo nʼọgwụgwụ, ọ bụ na-edeghị ha nʼakwụkwọ Netan onye amụma, nʼime akwụkwọ amụma Ahija, onye Shilo, nakwa nʼọhụ Ido onye ọhụ ụzọ, banyere Jeroboam nwa Nebat?
30 Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years.
Solomọn chịrị Izrel niile iri afọ anọ na Jerusalem.
31 Solomon slept with his fathers, and he was buried in his father David’s city; and Rehoboam his son reigned in his place.
O sooro nna nna ya ha dina nʼọnwụ. E lie ya nʼobodo Devid bụ nna ya. Rehoboam nwa ya ghọkwara eze nʼọnọdụ ya.
