¹When the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to prove Solomon with hard questions at Jerusalem, with a very great train, and camels that bore spices, and gold in abundance, and precious stones: and when she had come to Solomon, she talked with him of all that was in her heart.

¹¶ A, i te rongonga o te kuini o Hepa ki te rongo o Horomona, ka haere mai ki te whakamatau i a Horomona ki nga kupu pakeke ki Hiruharama. Nui atu hoki te tira, he kamera ano e waha ana i nga mea kakara, i tona nui o te koura, i te kohatu utu nui. A, no tona taenga mai ki a Horomona, ka korerotia e ia ki a ia nga mea katoa i tona ngakau.

²Solomon told her all her questions; and there was not anything hidden from Solomon which he didn’t tell her.

²A whakaaturia ana e Horomona ki a ia te tikanga o ana kupu katoa; kahore he kupu i ngaro i a Horomona, i kore te whakaatu ki a ia.

³When the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had built,

³A, no te kitenga o te kuini o Hepa i te mohio o Horomona, i te whare hoki i hanga e ia,

⁴and the food of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their clothing, his cup bearers also, and their clothing, and his ascent by which he went up to the house of Yahweh; there was no more spirit in her.

⁴I te kai o tana tepu, i te nohoanga o ana tangata, i te turanga o ana kaimahi, i o ratou kakahu, i ana kairiringi waina, i o ratou kakahu; i tona pikitanga i piki atu ai ia ki te whare o Ihowa; kore ake he wairua i roto i a ia.

⁵She said to the king, “It was a true report that I heard in my own land of your acts, and of your wisdom.

⁵Na ka mea ia ki te kingi, Pono tonu nga mea i rongo ai ahau i toku whenua mo au mahi, mo tou mohio.

⁶However I didn’t believe their words, until I came, and my eyes had seen it; and behold, the half of the greatness of your wisdom was not told me: you exceed the fame that I heard.

⁶Otiia kihai ahau i whakapono ki a ratou korero, a tae noa mai ahau, kite noa oku kanohi. Nana, kihai te hawhe o te nui o tou mohio i korerotia mai ki ahau: nui atu tau i te rongo i rongo ai ahau.

⁷Happy are your men, and happy are these your servants, who stand continually before you, and hear your wisdom.

⁷Ano te hari o au tangata, te hari o enei pononga au e tu tonu nei i tou aroaro, e whakarongo nei ki tou mohio!

⁸Blessed be Yahweh your God, who delighted in you, to set you on his throne, to be king for Yahweh your God: because your God loved Israel, to establish them forever, therefore made he you king over them, to do justice and righteousness.”

⁸Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa, tou Atua, i ahuareka nei ki a koe, i homai nei i a koe ki runga ki tona torona, hei kingi ma Ihowa, ma tou Atua; he aroha na tou Atua ki a Iharaira, he mea ano kia whakapumautia ai ratou ake ake, koia koe i meinga ai e i a hei kingi mo ratou, hei mahi i te whakawa, i te tika.

⁹She gave the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices in great abundance, and precious stones: neither was there any such spice as the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.

⁹Na homai ana e ia ki te kingi kotahi rau e rua tekau taranata koura, tona tini ano o nga mea kakara, me nga kohatu utu nui; kahore ano he mea kakara hei rite mo enei i homai nei e te kuini o Hepa ki a Kingi Horomona.

¹⁰The servants also of Huram, and the servants of Solomon, who brought gold from Ophir, brought algum trees and precious stones.

¹⁰Na, ko nga tangata a Hurama, ratou ko nga tangata a Horomona, i kawea mai ai te koura i Opira, i kawea mai ano e ratou he rakau aramuka, he kohatu utu nui hoki.

¹¹The king made of the algum trees terraces for the house of Yahweh, and for the king’s house, and harps and stringed instruments for the singers: and there were none like these seen before in the land of Judah.

¹¹Na ka hanga e te kingi aua rakau aramuka hei huarahi ki te whare o Ihowa, ki te whare hoki o te kingi, a hei hapa, hei hatere, hei mea ma nga kaiwaiata: kahore i kitea he pera i mua, i te whenua o Hura.

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

¹²Na ka hoatu e Kingi Horomona ki te kuini o Hepa nga mea katoa i pai ai ia, ana hoki i tono ai, haunga nga mea i mauria mai e ia ki te kingi. Na ko tona tahuritanga, ka haere ki tona ake whenua, ratou ko ana tangata.

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

¹³¶ Na, ko te taimaha o te koura i tae mai ki a Horomona i te tau kotahi, e ono rau e ono tekau ma ono taranata koura;

¹⁴besides that which the traders and merchants brought: and all the kings of Arabia and the governors of the country brought gold and silver to Solomon.

¹⁴Haunga nga mea i mauria mai e nga kairapu taonga, e nga kaihokohoko. I kawea mai ano he koura, he hiriwa, e nga kingi katoa o Arapia, e nga kawana o te whenua, ki a Horomona.

¹⁵King Solomon made two hundred bucklers of beaten gold; six hundred shekels of beaten gold went to one buckler.

¹⁵Na ka hanga e Kingi Horomona etahi pukupuku, e rua rau, he mea patu te koura; e ono rau hekere o te koura patu i meatia ki te pukupuku kotahi:

¹⁶He made three hundred shields of beaten gold; three hundred shekels of gold went to one shield: and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.

¹⁶Me etahi pukupuku iti iho, e toru rau, he mea patu ano te koura: e toru rau hekere koura i meatia ki te pukupuku kotahi: a whakatakotoria ana e te kingi ki te whare o te ngahere o Repanona.

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

¹⁷I hanga ano e te kingi he torona nui ki te rei, whakakikoruatia iho ki te koura parakore.

¹⁸And there were six steps to the throne, with a footstool of gold, which were fastened to the throne, and stays on either side by the place of the seat, and two lions standing beside the stays.

¹⁸A e ono nga kurupae ki te torona, me te turanga waewae, he mea koura, he mea hono ki te torona, me nga okiokinga ano i te wahi e nohoia ana, i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha, e rua hoki nga raiona e tu ana i te taha o nga okiokinga.

¹⁹Twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other on the six steps: there was nothing like it made in any kingdom.

¹⁹Kotahi tekau ma rua nga raiona i reira e tu ana i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha, i nga kaupae e ono. Kahore he mea pera i hanga i tetahi atu rangatiratanga.

²⁰All 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 nothing accounted of in the days of Solomon.

²⁰Na, ko nga oko inu katoa a Kingi Horomona, he koura kau; me nga oko katoa o te whare o te ngahere o Repanona, he koura parakore; kahore he mea hiriwa; kihai te hiriwa i kiia he mea nui i nga ra o Horomona.

²¹For the king had ships that went to Tarshish with the servants of Huram; once every three years came the ships of Tarshish, bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.

²¹He kaipuke hoki a te kingi, rere ai ki Tarahihi me nga tangata a Hurama: kotahi te unga mai i nga tau e toru o nga kaipuke o Tarahihi, me te mau mai i te koura, i te hiriwa, i te rei, i te makimaki, i te pikake.

²²So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.

²²Na nui atu a Kingi Horomona i nga kingi katoa o te whenua te whai taonga, te mohio.

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

²³A i whai nga kingi katoa o te whenua ki a Horomona, kia rongo i tona mohio i homai nei e te Atua ki tona ngakau.

²⁴They brought every man his tribute, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and clothing, armor, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year.

²⁴A ka mauria mai e tena tana hakari, tana hakari, nga oko hiriwa, nga oko koura, nga kakahu, nga mea mo te whawhai, nga mea kakara, nga hoiho, nga muera, he mea tatau a tau tonu.

²⁵Solomon 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.

²⁵Na e wha mano nga turanga a Horomona mo nga hoiho, mo nga hariata, tekau ma rua mano nga kaieke hoiho, waiho ana e ia ki nga pa hariata, ki te kingi ano ki Hiruharama.

²⁶He ruled over all the kings from the River even to the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt.

²⁶Na ko ia te kingi mo nga kingi katoa, o te awa mai a tae noa ki te whenua o nga Pirihitini, ki te rohe ra ano ki Ihipa.

²⁷The king made silver to be in Jerusalem as stones, and he made cedars to be as the sycamore trees that are in the lowland, for abundance.

²⁷Na meinga ana e te kingi te hiriwa o Hiruharama kia rite ki te kohatu; i meinga ano hoki e ia nga hita kia rite ki te hikamora i te raorao te tini.

²⁸They brought horses for Solomon out of Egypt, and out of all lands.

²⁸A mauria ana mai e ratou he hoiho mo Horomona i Ihipa, i nga whenua katoa ano hoki.

²⁹Now 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?

²⁹Na, ko era atu meatanga a Horomona, o mua, o muri, kahore ianei i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka a Natana poropiti, ki te poropititanga ano a Ahia Hironi, ki nga kitenga ano a Iro matakite i nga mea mo Ieropoama tama a Nepata?

³⁰Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years.

³⁰Na e wha tekau nga tau i kingi ai a Horomona i Hiruharama ki a Iharaira katoa.

³¹Solomon slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his place.

³¹Na ka moe a Horomona ki ona matua, a tanumia ana ki te pa o tona papa, o Rawiri; a ka kingi ko Rehopoama, ko tana tama i muri i a ia.
