¹And the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, and came to Jerusalem to prove Solomon with enigmas; with a very great train, and camels that bore spices and gold in great abundance, and precious stones; and she came to Solomon, and spoke with him of all that was in her heart.

¹ Waato kaŋ cine Seba wayboro bonkoono maa Suleymanu maa beera, a kaa Urusalima zama nga ma Suleymanu si da hãayaŋ kaŋ ga sandi. A kande dumko boobo, da yoyaŋ kaŋ go ga maafe jinayyaŋ jare, da wura boobo, da hiiri caadante yaŋ. Waato kaŋ a kaa Suleymanu do, a na hay kulu kaŋ go nga bina ra kaa taray a se.

²And Solomon explained to her all she spoke of, and there was not a thing hidden from Solomon that he did not explain to her.

² Suleymanu tu a se a hãayaŋey kulu boŋ. Hay kulu mana tugu Suleymanu se kaŋ a si hin ka ci wayboro bonkoono se.

³And when the queen of Sheba saw the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had built,

³ A binde, waato kaŋ Seba wayboro bonkoono di Suleymanu bayra, da windo kaŋ a cina,

⁴and 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 their apparel, and his ascent by which he went up to the house of Jehovah, there was no more spirit in her.

⁴ d'a taablo boŋ ŋwaaro, d'a faadancey gora, d'a tamey bayra, d'i bankaarayey, da borey kaŋ yaŋ g'a no haŋyaŋ hari, da ngey mo bankaarayey, da fonda kaŋ a ga ziji ka koy Rabbi windo do -- wayboro wo gaa yay.

⁵And she said to the king, It was a true report that I heard in mine own land of thine affairs and of thy wisdom;

⁵ Kal a ne bonkoono se: «Baaro kaŋ ay maa za ay laabo ra din, cimi no, ni sanney da ni bayra wane.

⁶but I gave no credit to their words, until I came and mine eyes had seen; and behold, the half of the greatness of thy wisdom was not told me: thou exceedest the report that I heard.

⁶ Amma kulu nda yaadin ay mana i sanney cimandi, kala waato kaŋ ay kaa, ay di nin d'ay mo. A go mo, ni bayra jara beera, i man'a ci ay se. Ni gaabu ka bisa baaro kaŋ ay maa din.

⁷Happy are thy men, and happy are these thy servants, who stand continually before thee and hear thy wisdom!

⁷ Bine-kaani-koy yaŋ no ni borey, bine-kaani-koy yaŋ mo no ni tamey wo kaŋ yaŋ go ga kay ni jine han kulu, i go ga maa ni bayra.

⁸Blessed be Jehovah thy God, who delighted in thee, to set thee on his throne, to be king to Jehovah thy God! Because thy God loved Israel, to establish them for ever, therefore did he make thee king over them, to do judgment and justice.

⁸ Wa Rabbi ni Irikoyo sifa, nga kaŋ maa ni kaani hal a na ni sinji nga karga boŋ, ni ma ciya bonkooni Rabbi ni Irikoyo sabbay se. Za kaŋ ni Irikoyo ga ba Israyla, kaŋ a g'i sinji hal abada, woodin se no a na ni ciya i se bonkooni, ni ma cimi ciiti nda adilitaray goy te.»

⁹And she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices in very great abundance, and precious stones; neither was there any such spice as that which the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.

⁹ Wayboro bonkoono mo na koyo no wura ton gu nda jare cine, da maafe jinay yulwante gumo, da tondi caadante yaŋ. Maafe jinayey kaŋ Seba wayboro bonkoono na bonkoono Suleymanu no, i cine si no.

¹⁰(And the servants also of Huram, and the servants of Solomon, who brought gold from Ophir, brought sandal-wood and precious stones.

¹⁰ Hiram tamey banda mo Suleymanu tamey kaŋ kande wura ka fun Ofir, i kande almug bunduyaŋ da tondi caadante yaŋ mo.

¹¹And the king made of the sandal-wood stairs for the house of Jehovah, and for the king's house, and harps and lutes for the singers. And there were none such seen before in the land of Judah.)

¹¹ Almug bundey din, bonkoono na fu kaarimi hari yaŋ te d'a Rabbi fuwo se da bonkoono windo mo se. A na moolo beeri da moolo kayna yaŋ mo te doonkoy se, kaŋ i mana di i dumiyaŋ baa ce fo Yahuda laabo ra.

¹²And king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she asked, besides what she had brought to the king. And she turned and went to her own land, she and her servants.

¹² Bonkoono Suleymanu mo na Seba wayboro bonkoono no hay kulu kaŋ dumi a ga ba, haŋ kaŋ a ŋwaaray me, kaŋ bisa haŋ kaŋ a kande bonkoono se deedandiyaŋ. A binde bare ka ye ka koy nga kwaara, nga nda nga tamey.

¹³And the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold,

¹³ Wura kaŋ ga kaa Suleymanu do jiiri folloŋ ra, a neesiyaŋ tiŋay ton waranza cine no,

¹⁴besides [what] dealers and merchants brought, and [what] all the kings of Arabia and the governors of the country brought of gold and silver to Solomon.

¹⁴ kaŋ baa si wo kaŋ fatawc'izey da dillaŋey ga kande. Laarabey bonkooney kulu da laabu maykoy mo soobay ka kande wura nda nzarfu Suleymanu do.

¹⁵And king Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold, -- he applied six hundred [shekels] of beaten gold to one target;

¹⁵ Bonkoono Suleymanu binde na koray beeri zangu hinka te da wura danante. Wura danante kilo iyye cine go koray fo kulu ra.

¹⁶and three hundred shields of beaten gold, -- he applied three hundred [shekels] of gold to one shield; and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.

¹⁶ A te mo koray zangu hinza nda wura danante. Koray fo kulu mo, wura kilo hinza nda jare go a ra. Bonkoono n'i daŋ mo Liban tuuri zugay faada ra.

¹⁷And the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold;

¹⁷ Bonkoono na cebeeri hinje karga bambata fo mo te k'a daabu nda wura hanno.

¹⁸and the throne had six steps, with a footstool of gold fastened to the throne; and there were arms on each side at the place of the seat, and two lions stood beside the arms;

¹⁸ Kaarimi hari iddu no ka bara hal i ga to karga do, da wura wane ce dake yaŋ, kaŋ ga margu nda karga, da kambeyaŋ kuray kulu nangora gaa. Muusu beeri hinka mo goono ga kay kambey din gaa.

¹⁹and 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.

¹⁹ Kaarimi hari iddo din boŋ mo gonda muusu beeri way cindi hinka, i goono ga kay kambu hinka kulu gaa. I mana karga din cine te mo mayray kulu ra.

²⁰And 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: silver was not of the least account in the days of Solomon.

²⁰ Bonkoono Suleymanu hangaasiyey kulu, wura wane yaŋ no. Liban tuuri zugay faada ra mo, a taasey kulu wura zalla wane yaŋ no. I mana nzarfu ciya hay kulu Suleymanu jirbey ra.

²¹For the king's ships went to Tarshish with the servants of Huram: once in three years came the ships of Tarshish, bringing gold and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.

²¹ Zama bonkoono gonda hiyaŋ kaŋ ga koy Tarsis Hiram tamey banda. Jiiri hinza kulu ra Tarsis hiyey ga kaa sorro fo. I ga kande wura da nzarfu nda cebeeri hinjeyaŋ da foono beeriyaŋ da makka curoyaŋ.

²²And king Solomon was greater than all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.

²² Yaadin mo no Bonkoono Suleymanu bisa ndunnya koyey kulu arzaka nda laakal.

²³And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.

²³ Ndunnya koyey kulu goono ga ceeci ngey ma di Suleymanu, i ma maa a laakalo mo kaŋ Irikoy daŋ a bina ra.

²⁴And they brought every man his present, vessels of silver and vessels of gold, and clothing, armour, and spices, horses and mules, a rate year by year.

²⁴ I boro fo kulu ga kande nga nooyaŋo: wura nda nzarfu jinayyaŋ, da bankaarayyaŋ, da wongu jinayyaŋ, da yaaziyaŋ, da bariyaŋ, da alambaanayaŋ -- yaadin cine no jiiri kulu.

²⁵And Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen; and he placed them in the chariot-cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.

²⁵ Suleymanu gonda kangay zambar taaci, bari nda torko jisiyaŋ se. A gonda bari-kari zambar way cindi hinka, kaŋ yaŋ a fay-fay ka jisi torkey galley ra, da bonkoono banda Urusalima ra.

²⁶And he ruled over all the kings from the river as far as the land of the Philistines, and up to the border of Egypt.

²⁶ A na koyey kulu may za Ufratis isa gaa kal a ma koy hala Filistancey laabu, ka koy mo Misira hirro gaa.

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 mo na nzarfu ciya sanda day tond'izeyaŋ Urusalima ra. Sedre* bundu mo, a n'a ciya sanda durmi bundu kaŋ go Safela batama ra, baayaŋ se.

²⁸And they brought to Solomon horses out of Egypt, and out of all lands.

²⁸ I kande Suleymanu se bariyaŋ ka fun Misira da laabey kulu ra.

²⁹And the rest of the acts of Solomon first and last, are they not written in the words 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?

²⁹ Suleymanu goy cindey binde, za sintinay wano ka koy kokor banda wano, manti i n'i hantum annabi* Natan sanney ra, da Ahiya Silon bora annabitara ra, da Iddo kaŋ ga fonnay bangandey ra, kaŋ a di Yerebowam Nebat izo boŋ?

³⁰And Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years.

³⁰ Suleymanu na mayray te Urusalima ra Israyla kulu boŋ jiiri waytaaci.

³¹And Solomon slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David his father; and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead.

³¹ Suleymanu kani nga kaayey banda, i n'a fiji mo a baabo Dawda birno ra. A izo Rehobowam te bonkooni a nango ra.
