1Pea 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.
1And the queen of Saba, having; heard of the fame of Solomon in the name of the Lord, came to try him with hard questions.
2Pea 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.
2And entering into Jerusalem with a great train, and riches, and camels that carried spices, and an immense quantity of gold, and precious stones, she came to king Solomon, and spoke to him all that she had in her heart.
3Pea 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.
3And Solomon informed her of all the things she proposed to him: there was not any word the king was ignorant of, and which he could not answer her.
4Pea hili ʻae mamata ʻe he tuʻi fefine ʻo Sipa ki he poto kotoa pē ʻa Solomone, pea mo e fale ʻaia naʻa ne langa,
4And when the queen of Saba saw all the wisdom of Solomon, and the house which he had built,
5Mo 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.
5And the meat of his table, and the apartments of his servants, and the order of his ministers, and their apparel, and the cupbearers, and the holocausts, which he offered in the house of the Lord: she had no longer any spirit in her,
6Pea 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.
6And she said to the king: The report is true, which I heard in my own country,
7Ka 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.
7Concerning thy words, and concerning thy wisdom. And I did not believe them that told me, till I came myself, and saw with my own eyes, and have found that the half hath not been told me: thy wisdom and thy works, exceed the fame which I heard.
8ʻOku monūʻia ʻa hoʻo kau tangata, ʻoku monūʻia ʻa hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ni, ʻoku tutuʻumaʻu aipe ʻi ho ʻao, ʻo nau fanongo ki hoʻo poto.
8Blessed are thy men, and blessed are thy servants, who stand before thee always, and hear thy wisdom.
9Fakafetaʻi 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.”
9Blessed be the Lord thy God, whom thou hast pleased, and who hath set thee upon the throne of Israel, because the Lord hath loved Israel for ever, and hath appointed thee king, to do judgment and justice.
10Pea 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.
10And she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices a very great store, and precious stones: there was brought no more such abundance of spices as these which the queen of Saba gave to king Solomon.
11Pea 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.
11(The navy also of Hiram, which brought gold from Ophir, brought from Ophir great plenty of thyine trees, and precious stones.
12Pea 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.
12And the king made of the thyine trees the rails of the house of the Lord, and of the king’s house, and citterns and harps for singers: there were no such thyine trees as these brought, nor seen unto this day.)
13¶ 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.
13And king Solomon gave the queen of Saba all that she desired, and asked of him: besides what he offered he himself of his royal bounty. And she returned, and went to her own country with her servants.
14¶ 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,
14And the weight of the gold that was brought to Solomon every year, was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold:
15Ka 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.
15Besides that which the men brought him that were over the tributes, and the merchants, and they that sold by retail, and all the kings of Arabia, and the governors of the country.
16¶ 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.
16And Solomon made two hundred shields of the purest gold: he allowed six hundred sides of gold for the plates of one shield.
17Pea 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.
17And three hundred targets of fine gold: three hundred pounds of gold covered one target: and the king put them in the house of the forest of Libanus.
18¶ Naʻe ngaohi foki ʻe he tuʻi ha fuʻu nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻaki ʻae lei, pea naʻa ne fonofono ia ʻaki ʻae koula lelei lahi.
18King Solomon also made a great throne of ivory: and overlaid it with the finest gold.
19Naʻe 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.
19It had six steps: and the top of the throne was round behind: and there were two hands on either side holding the seat: and two lions stood, one at each hand.
20Pea 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.
20And twelve little lions stood upon the six steps on the one side and on the other: there was no such work made in any kingdom.
21¶ 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.
21Moreover all the vessels, out of which king Solomon drank, were of gold: and all the furniture of the house of the forest of Libanus was of most pure gold: there was no silver, nor was any account made of it in the days of Solomon:
22He 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.
22For the king’s navy, once in three years, went with the navy of Hiram by sea to Tharsis, and brought from thence gold, and silver, and elephants’ teeth, and apes, and peacocks.
23Ko ia naʻe fungani hake ai ʻae tuʻi ko Solomone ʻi he ngaahi tuʻi kotoa pē ʻo māmani, ʻi he koloaʻia mo e poto.
23And king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth in riches, and wisdom.
24¶ 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.
24And all the earth desired to see Solomon’s face, to hear his wisdom, which God had given in his heart.
25Pea 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.
25And every one brought him presents, vessels of silver and of gold, garments and armour, and spices, and horses and mules every year.
26Pea 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.
26And Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen, and he had a thousand four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horseman: and he bestowed them in fenced cities, and with the king in Jerusalem.
27Pea 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.
27And he made silver to be as plentiful in Jerusalem as stones: and cedars to be as common as sycamores which grow in the plains.
28Pea 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.
28And horses were brought for Solomon out of Egypt, and Coa: for the king’s merchants brought them out of Coa, and bought them at a set price.
29Pea 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.
29And a chariot of four horses came out of Egypt, for six hundred sides of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty. And after this manner did all the kings of the Hethites, and of Syria, sell horses.
