¹And the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon in connection with the name of Jehovah, and came to prove him with enigmas.

¹ Waato kaŋ Seba wayboro bonkoono maa Suleymanu maa beera kaŋ a te Rabbi maa sabbay se, kal a kaa zama nga m'a si da hãayaŋ kaŋ ga sandi.

²And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels that bore spices and gold in very great abundance, and precious stones; and she came to Solomon, and spoke to him of all that was in her heart.

² A kaa Urusalima nda jama beeri bambata, da yoyaŋ kaŋ go ga yaazi jinayyaŋ jare, da wura boobo, da taalam tondiyaŋ kaŋ nooru ga baa. Waato kaŋ a kaa Suleymanu do kal a na hay kulu kaŋ go nga bina ra kaa taray a se.

³And Solomon explained to her all she spoke of: there was not a thing hidden from the king that he did not explain to her.

³ Suleymanu mo tu a se a hãayaŋey kulu boŋ. Hay fo kulu si tugante bonkoono se kaŋ a mana ci wayboro bonkoono se.

⁴And when the queen of Sheba saw all Solomon's wisdom, and the house that he had built,

⁴ Waato kaŋ Seba wayboro bonkoono di Suleymanu laakalo kulu, da windo kaŋ a cina,

⁵and the food of his table, and the deportment of his servants, and the order of service of his attendants, and their apparel, and his cupbearers, and his ascent by which he went up to the house of Jehovah, there was no more spirit in her.

⁵ d'a taablo ŋwaaro, d'a tamey gora dumi, d'a windi goy-izey kayyaŋo dumi, d'i bankaarayey, da ngey kaŋ yaŋ g'a no haŋyaŋ hari, da mate kaŋ i ga sargay salle Rabbi windo ra, kala waybora gaa yay.

⁶And she said to the king, It was a true report that I heard in mine own land of thine affairs, and of thy wisdom;

⁶ A ne bonkoono se: «Cimi baaruyaŋ no ay maa ay laabo ra ni muraadey ciine ra, da ni laakalo wane.

⁷but I gave no credit to the words, until I came and mine eyes had seen; and behold, the half was not told me: in wisdom and prosperity thou exceedest the report that I heard.

⁷ Kulu nda yaadin, ay mana sanney cimandi bo, kala waato kaŋ ay kaa ka di a d'ay moy. A go mo, wiiza, i mana baa jara ci ay se. Ni laakalo da ni albarka bisa ni maa beero kaŋ ay maa din.

⁸Happy are thy men! happy are these thy servants, who stand continually before thee, who hear thy wisdom!

⁸ Bine-kaani-koyyaŋ no ni borey, bine-kaani-koyyaŋ mo no ni tamey, kaŋ yaŋ goono ga kay ni jine han kulu, ka maa ni laakalo.

⁹Blessed be Jehovah thy God, who delighted in thee, to set thee on the throne of Israel! Because Jehovah loves Israel for ever, therefore did he make thee king, to do judgment and justice.

⁹ I ma Rabbi ni Irikoyo sifa mo, nga kaŋ maa ni kaani hal a na ni daŋ Israyla karga boŋ, zama Rabbi ga ba Israyla hal abada. Woodin se no a na ni daŋ koytaray, zama ni ma cimi ciiti da adilitaray te se.»

¹⁰And she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices in very great abundance, and precious stones: there came no more such abundance of spices as those which the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.

¹⁰ Kala wayboro bonkoono na bonkoono no wura danga ton gu nda jare cine, da yaazi jinay boobo mo, hala nda taalam tondi caadanteyaŋ. Boro kulu mana ye ka kande yaazi jinay sanda wo kaŋ Seba wayboro bonkoono kande ka bonkoono Suleymanu no baayaŋ cine.

¹¹(And the fleet also of Hiram, which carried gold from Ophir, brought from Ophir sandal-wood in very great abundance, and precious stones.

¹¹ Hiram hiyey mo, kaŋ yaŋ ga kande wura ka fun Ofir, i kande almug* dubi boobo, da taalam tondi caadante boobo ka fun Ofir.

¹²And the king made of the sandal-wood a balustrade for the house of Jehovah, and for the king's house, and harps and lutes for the singers. There came no such sandal-wood, nor was there seen to this day.)

¹² Bonkoono mo na bonjareyaŋ te da almug bundu Rabbi windo da bonkoono windo se. A na moolo kayna nda moolo beeri yaŋ te d'a mo doonkoy se. Boro kulu mana ye ka kande almug dubiyaŋ, boro kulu mana ye ka di i cine yaŋ mo hala hunkuna.

¹³And king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she asked, besides what he gave her of the bounty of king Solomon. And she turned and went to her own land, she and her servants.

¹³ Bonkoono Suleymanu na Seba wayboro bonkoono no hay kulu kaŋ a ga ba kaŋ a ŋwaaray mo, kaŋ waana haŋ kaŋ Suleymanu n'a no nga koytara yulwa ra. Waybora binde bare ka ye nga laabu, nga nda nga tamey.

¹⁴And the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold,

¹⁴ Wura kaŋ ga kaa Suleymanu do jiiri fo ra, a neesiyaŋ ga ti ton waranza cine, wura wane koonu,

¹⁵besides what [came] by the dealers, and by the traffic of the merchants, and by all the kings of Arabia, and by the governors of the country.

¹⁵ kaŋ baa si haŋ kaŋ i ga du dillaŋey jangalo do haray, da fatawc'izey, da kunda dumi-dumey, da laabu-laabukoy kayney do haray.

¹⁶And king Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold, -- he applied six hundred [shekels] of gold to one target;

¹⁶ Bonkoono Suleymanu na koray beeri zangu hinka te da wura danante. Koray fo kulu tiŋay ga to wura kilo iddu cine.

¹⁷and three hundred shields of beaten gold, -- he applied three minas of gold to one shield; and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.

¹⁷ A na koray dumi fo mo te da wura danante, i boro zangu hinza. I kulu gonda kilo hinza da jare cine koray fo ra. Bonkoono n'i daŋ faada kaŋ se i ga ne Liban tuuri zugay faada ra.

¹⁸And the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with refined gold:

¹⁸ Bonkoono na karga bambata fo te da cebeeri hinjeyaŋ. A n'a daabu mo da wura hanno.

¹⁹the throne had six steps, and the top of the throne was rounded behind; and there were arms on each side at the place of the seat, and two lions stood beside the arms;

¹⁹ Kaarimi hari iddu go no hal i ga to karga do. Karga boŋo mo koomakoy no banda, nangora do mo gonda kambe yaŋ kuray hinka kulu. Muusu beeri hinka mo go ga kay, afo go kambu kulu haray.

²⁰and 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.

²⁰ Muusu beeri way cindi hinka mo goono ga kay, kambu woone da ya-haray kambo mo gaa, kaarimi hari iddo boŋ. I mana karga din cine te mayray kulu ra.

²¹And all king Solomon's drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of precious gold: none were of silver, [which] was not of the least account in the days of Solomon.

²¹ Suleymanu haŋyaŋ gaasiyey mo, i kulu wurayaŋ no. Liban tuuri zugay faada taasey mo, i kulu wura hanno wane yaŋ no, nzarfu wane baa afo si i ra. Nzarfu manti hay fo kaŋ i ga saal no Suleymanu jirbey ra.

²²For the king had on the sea a Tarshish-fleet, with the fleet of Hiram: once in three years came the Tarshish-fleet, bringing gold and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.

²² Zama bonkoono gonda Tarsis hi boobo teeko boŋ, ngey da Hiram hiyey mo care banda. Jiiri hinza kulu ra Tarsis hiyey ga kaa sorro folloŋ, i ga kande wura da nzarfu da cebeeri hinjeyaŋ da foonoyaŋ, da makka curoyaŋ.

²³And king Solomon was greater than all the kings of the earth in riches and in wisdom.

²³ Bonkoono Suleymanu binde bisa ndunnya koyey kulu arzaka da laakal.

²⁴And all the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.

²⁴ Ndunnya kulu mo soobay ka Suleymanu ceeci zama ngey ma maa laakalo kaŋ Irikoy daŋ a bina ra.

²⁵And they brought every man his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and clothing, and armour, and spices, horses and mules, a rate year by year.

²⁵ I afo kulu mo ga kande nga nooyaŋo: nzarfu taasayaŋ, da wura taasayaŋ, da bankaaray, da wongu kwaayyaŋ, da yaazi jinay yaŋ, da bariyaŋ, da alambaanayaŋ, yaadin cine no jiiri kulu.

²⁶And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen; and he had a thousand four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen; and he placed them in the chariot-cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.

²⁶ Suleymanu mo na torkoyaŋ da bari-kariyaŋ margu. A gonda torko zambar fo da zangu taaci. A gonda bari-kari zambar way cindi hinka mo kaŋ yaŋ a fay-fay ka jisi torkey kwaarey ra, da bonkoono do mo Urusalima.

²⁷And the king made silver in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he as the sycamores that are in the lowland for abundance.

²⁷ Bonkoono na nzarfu ciya sanda tondiyaŋ Urusalima ra. A na sedre* bundu mo ciya sanda durmi kaŋ go gooru batama ra cine, baayaŋ se.

²⁸And the exportation of horses that Solomon had was from Egypt: a caravan of the king's merchants fetched a drove [of horses], at a price.

²⁸ Bariyey kaŋ yaŋ go Suleymanu se, Misira no i ga fun d'ey kuru-kuru. Bonkoono dillaŋey no ga kand'ey, kuru fo kulu nda nga hayo.

²⁹And a chariot came up and went out of Egypt for six hundred [shekels] of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty; and so they brought [them] by their means, for all the kings of the Hittites and for the kings of Syria.

²⁹ Torko fo ga fun Misira nzarfu kilo iyye cine boŋ, bari fo mo kilo hinka cine boŋ. Yaadin mo no i te Hittancey da Suriya bonkooney kulu se. I kaa dillaŋey din kambe ra.
