1 Mpanjaka 10

1 Ie jinanji’ ty mpanjaka-ampela’ i Seba ty enge’ i Selomò ty amy tahina’ Iehovày, le nimb’eo hamente aze an-tafatoño.

And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of the LORD, she came to prove him with hard questions.

2 Le am-pivavàrañe jabajaba ty nitotsaha’e e Ierosalaime ao, reketse rameva ninday fampafiriañe naho volamena tsifotofoto naho vatosoa; aa ie tsatoke amy Selomò, le fonga nabora’e ama’e ty arofo’e.

And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels that bare spices, and very much gold, and precious stones: and when she was come to Solomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart.

3 Aa le vinale’ i Selomò ontane’e iabio; tsy nietak’ amy mpanjakay ty hatoi’e aze.

And Solomon told her all her questions: there was not any thing hid from the king, which he told her not.

4 Ie nioni’ i mpanjaka ampela’ i Sebay ze hene hihi’ i Selomò, naho i anjomba niranjie’ey,

And when the queen of Sheba had seen all Solomon's wisdom, and the house that he had built,

5 naho ty maha­kama am-pandambaña’e eo, naho ty fandaharam-piambesa’ o mpitoro’eo naho ty fiatraha’ o mpiatra’eo naho o siki’eo naho o mpitàm-pitovi’eo vaho o soroñe fañenga’e añ’anjomba’ Iehovào, le tsy nahakofòke.

And the food of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel, and his cupbearers, and his ascent by which he went up unto the house of the LORD; there was no more spirit in her.

6 Aa le hoe re amy mpanjakay: Nitò i talily tsinanoko an-tanekoy ty amo taro’oo naho o hihi’oo.

And she said to the king, It was a true report that I heard in mine own land of your acts and of your wisdom.

7 Fe tsy niantofako o saontsio ampara te nivo­trak’ atoy naho nitrea’ o masokoo, le hehe te tsy ty vaki’e o natalily ahio; loho mandi­koatse i talily tsinanokoy ty hilala’o naho ty firaoraoa’o.

Nevertheless I believed not the words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it: and, behold, the half was not told me: your wisdom and prosperity exceeds the fame which I heard.

8 Haha ondati’oo naho fale o mpitoro’o mijohañe nainai’e añatrefa’o mahajanjiñe o hihi’oo.

Happy are your men, happy are these your servants, which stand continually before you, and that hear your wisdom.

9 Andriañeñe t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’o te nahafale Aze ty nampipoke azo am-piambesa’ Israele eo amy te nikokoa’ Iehovà nainai’e donia t’Israele, ihe nanoe’e mpanjaka, hitoloña’o an-katò vaho an-kavantañañe.

Blessed be the LORD your God, which delighted in you, to set you on the throne of Israel: because the LORD loved Israel for ever, therefore made he you king, to do judgment and justice.

10 Le natolo’e amy mpanjakay ty volamena talenta zato-tsi-roapolo; naho fampafiriañe tsi-fotofoto vaho vatosoa; le lia’e tsy eo ka ty hamarom-pampafiriañe nito­tsak’ ao te amy natolo’ i mpanjaka’ i Sebaiy amy Selomò mpanjakay.

And she gave the king an hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices very great store, and precious stones: there came no more such abundance of spices as these which the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.

11 Le ninday volamena boake Ofire naho nilogologo hatae almoge maro boake Ofire añe, vaho vatosoa, o firimbon-tsambo’ i Kirameo.

And the navy also of Hiram, that brought gold from Ophir, brought in from Ophir great plenty of almug trees, and precious stones.

12 Niranjie’ i mpanjakay amy hatae almogey, o fahañe añ’anjomba’ Iehovà naho añ’anjomba’ i mpanjakaio vaho o marovany miharo ty fititiha’ o sakeraoo, le lia’e tsy nioniñe ampara’ te henane ty hatae almoge hoe izay.

And the king made of the almug trees pillars for the house of the LORD, and for the king's house, harps also and psalteries for singers: there came no such almug trees, nor were seen unto this day.

13 Hene natolo’ i Selomò mpanjaka amy mpanjaka-ampela’ i Sebay ze nitea’e, ze nihalalia’e, mandikoatse ty natolo’e aze ty amo varam-panjaka’eo. Aa le nitolike re, nimpoly mb’ an-tane’e añe, ie naho o mpitoro’eo.

And king Solomon gave unto the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatsoever she asked, beside that which Solomon gave her of his royal bounty. So she turned and went to her own country, she and her servants.

14 Ie amy zao, ty volamena niheo mb’ amy Selomò ami’ty taoñe raike le nahatratse talenta volamena enen-jato-tsi-enem-polo-eneñ’amby,

Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred threescore and six talents of gold,

15 mandikoatse ze nendese’ o mpivarotseo, naho o mpanao balikeo, naho boak’ amy ze hene mpanjaka’ o nte-Araboo, naho amo mpifeleke i taneio.

Beside that he had of the merchantmen, and of the trade of the spice merchants, and of all the kings of Arabia, and of the governors of the country.

16 Le nitsene’ i Se­lo­mò mpanjaka fikalan-defoñe volamena roanjato pinepèke; sekele enen-jato ty fikalan-defoñe raike.

And king Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold: six hundred shekels of gold went to one target.

17 Le nitsene’e fikalan-defoñe volamena-pinepèke telon-jato; mina telo ty volamena ami’ty fikalan-defoñe ao; vaho napo’ i mpanjakay añ’ anjomba’ i Ala-Lebanoney irezay.

And he made three hundred shields of beaten gold; three pound of gold went to one shield: and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.

18 Nandranjy fiambesatse jabajaba an-tsifam-biby ka i mpanjakay vaho pinepè’e ama’e ty volamena ki’e.

Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with the best gold.

19 Fanongà enen-dia ty nitroatse mb’amy fiambesatsey, le bontoly ty ambone an-dambosi’ i fiambesatsey; naho fisampezam-pitàñe ty añ’ ila’ i fiambesatsey, vaho liona roe ty mijadoñe añ’ ila’ o fisampezam-pitàñeo.

The throne had six steps, and the top of the throne was round behind: and there were stays on either side on the place of the seat, and two lions stood beside the stays.

20 Liona folo-ro’ amby ty nijohañe amy fanongañe enen-diay, añ’ila’e atoy naho añila’e aroy; vaho tsy eo ty nanoeñe nanahak’ aze ndra am-pifeheañe aia.

And twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other upon the six steps: there was not the like made in any kingdom.

21 Songa tam-bolamena o fitovi’ i Selomòo vaho hene vo­la­mena ki’e o fanak’ amy anjomban’ Ala-Le­banoneio, leo raike tsy nivolafoty, ie tsy natao vara tañ’ andro’ i Selomò.

And 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; none were of silver: it was nothing accounted of in the days of Solomon.

22 Nanañe firim­boñan-tsambon-Tarsise reketse ty firimboñan-tsambo’ i Kirame i mpanjakay; nivotrake eo o sambo’ i Tarsiseo isa’ ty telo taoñe, ninday volamena, volafoty, tsifa naho babakoto vaho remàleñe.

For the king had at sea a navy of Tharshish with the navy of Hiram: once in three years came the navy of Tharshish, bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.

23 Aa le nilikoare’ i Selo­mò mpanjaka o mpanjaka’ ty tane toy iabio ami’ty vara naho hihitse.

So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth for riches and for wisdom.

24 Le hene nipay ty hiatrek’ amy Selo­mò ty tane toy, ty hijanjiñe ty hilala napon’ Añahare añ’arofo’e ao.

And all the earth sought to Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.

25 Songa ninday ty ravoravo’e boa-taoñe ondatio, fanake volafoty naho fanake volamena naho sikiñe, naho fialiañe naho fampifiriañe, naho soavala vaho borìke.

And they brought every man his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and armour, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year.

26 Namory sarete t’i Selomò naho mpiningi-tsoa­vala, arivo-tsi-efa-jato ty sarete’e naho mpiningi-tsoavala rai-ale-tsi-ro’arivo ze napo’e amo rovan-tsareteo vaho amy mpanjakay e Ierosa­laime ao.

And Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, whom he bestowed in the cities for chariots, and with the king at Jerusalem.

27 Le nanoe’ i mpanjakay hoe vato ty volafoty e Ierosalaime ao vaho nanoe’e hoe sakoañe am-bavatane ao o mendo­raveñeo ty amo hamaro’eo.

And the king made silver to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he to be as the sycomore trees that are in the vale, for abundance.

28 Nen­deseñe boake Mitsraime naho e Kevè añe o soavala’ i Selomòo; nangalak’ amy Kevè ami’ty vili’e o mpanao balibali’ i mpanjakaio.

And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and linen yarn: the king's merchants received the linen yarn at a price.

29 Le enen-jato sekelem-bolafoty ty nampi­akarañe sarete boake Mitsraime añe, le zato-tsi-limampolo ty soavala; vaho am-pità’ iareoo ty nahazoa’ ze hene mpanjaka’ o nte-Kiteo naho o mpanjaka’ i Arameo.

And a chariot came up and went out of Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and an horse for an hundred and fifty: and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, did they bring them out by their means.
