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 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.
1And when 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 bare spices, and gold in abundance, and precious stones: and when she was come to Solomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart.
2Solomon told her all her questions; and there was not anything hidden from Solomon which he didn’t tell 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.
2And Solomon told her all her questions; and there was not anything hid from Solomon which he told her not.
3When the queen of Sheba had seen 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,
3And when the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had built,
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.
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.
4and the food of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel, his cupbearers also, and their apparel, and his ascent by which he went up unto the house of Jehovah; there was no more spirit in her.
5She said to the king, “It was a true report that I heard in my own land of your acts, and of your wisdom.
5 Kal a ne bonkoono se: «Baaro kaŋ ay maa za ay laabo ra din, cimi no, ni sanney da ni bayra wane.
5And she said to the king, It was a true report that I heard in mine own land of thine acts, and of thy wisdom.
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.
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.
6Howbeit I believed not their words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it; and, behold, the half of the greatness of thy wisdom was not told me: thou exceedest the fame that I heard.
7Happy are your men, and happy are these your servants, who stand continually before you, and hear your 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.
7Happy are thy men, and happy are these thy servants, that stand continually before thee, and hear thy wisdom.
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.”
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.»
8Blessed be Jehovah thy God, who delighted in thee, to set thee on his throne, to be king for Jehovah thy God: because thy God loved Israel, to establish them for ever, therefore made he thee king over them, to do justice and righteousness.
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.
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.
9And she gave the king a 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.
10The servants also of Huram, and the servants of Solomon, who brought gold from Ophir, brought algum trees and precious stones.

10And the servants also of Huram, and the servants of Solomon, that brought gold from Ophir, brought algum-trees and precious stones.
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.
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.

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.
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.

13 Wura kaŋ ga kaa Suleymanu do jiiri folloŋ ra, a neesiyaŋ tiŋay ton waranza cine no,
13Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and threescore and six talents of gold,
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
20And 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: silver was nothing accounted of in the days of Solomon.
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.
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.

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

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?
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?
