2 Istwa 9
Haitian Creole Version
9 ¶ Larenn peyi Saba tande pale ki kalite moun Salomon te ye. Li vwayaje pou lavil Jerizalèm pou l' sonde konesans Salomon avèk kèk keksyon difisil. Se konsa, li mennen anpil moun avè l' ak anpil chamo chaje odè, fèy santi bon, kantite lò ak pyè koute chè. Lè li rive devan Salomon, li poze l' tout kalite keksyon li te fè lide mande l'.
2 Salomon menm reponn tout keksyon l' yo. pa t' gen anyen ki te twò difisil pou li reponn.
3 Larenn peyi Saba a wè jan Salomon te gen anpil bon konprann. Li wè palè li te bati a.
4 Li wè kalite manje yo te sèvi sou tab li, kay li te fè bati pou chèf li yo, jan li te òganize moun k'ap travay nan palè a, rad inifòm yo te genyen, domestik ki t'ap sèvi l' bweson ak bèt li te ofri pou boule nèt pou Seyè a nan Tanp lan. Lè li wè tou sa, li pèdi lapawòl sitèlman li te sezi.
5 Li di wa Salomon konsa: -Sa m' te tande nan peyi m' sou ou ak sou bon konprann ou an, se te vre!
6 Men, mwen pa t' vle kwè toutotan mwen pa t' vini wè ak je pa mwen. Men, sa m' te tande a se pa mwatye sa m' wè a. Bon konprann ou ak richès ou pi plis pase sa yo te di a.
7 Ala bèl chans moun pa ou yo genyen! Ala bèl chans pou moun k'ap travay avè ou yo! Yo toujou la devan ou ap tande bèl pawòl k'ap soti nan bouch ou!
8 Lwanj pou Seyè a, Bondye ou la! Li moutre jan li kontan avè ou. Li mete ou chita sou fotèy li a pou ou te ka wa peyi Izrayèl la. Li menm ki renmen peyi Izrayèl la, li vle pou peyi a pa janm disparèt. Li mete ou wa pou ou ka kenbe peyi a nan lòd, nan bon chemen, san patipri.
9 Larenn Saba a fè wa a kado twa tòn edmi lò ak kantite fèy santi bon ak anpil pyè koute chè. Pat janm rive gen nan pèyi Izrayèl la kantite fèy santi bon tankou sa larenn Saba a te bay wa Salomon lè sa a.
10 Moun Iram yo ansanm ak moun Salomon yo, ki te al chache lò nan peyi Ofi, te pote yon gwo kantite bwa koray ak anpil bèl pyè koute chè soti nan menm peyi a.
11 Salomon sèvi ak bwa koray yo pou fè planche nan Tanp lan ak nan palè a. Li fè gita ak bandjo pou mizisyen yo ak bwa sa a tou. Yo pa t' janm wè bagay konsa nan peyi Jida a anvan sa.
12 Wa Salomon te bay larenn peyi Saba a tou sa li te mande l', san konte kado li te ba li pou koresponn ak sa larenn lan te pote ba li. Apre sa, larenn lan tounen tounen l' nan peyi Saba ansanm ak tout moun ki te avè l' yo.
13 ¶ Chak lanne, wa Salomon te resevwa vennsenk tòn lò,
14 san konte lajan li te resevwa nan men moun k'ap fè trafik yo ak moun k'ap fè kòmès yo. Tout wa peyi Arabi yo ak gouvènè pèp Izrayèl yo te pote lò ak ajan bay Salomon tou.
15 Salomon te fè fè desan (200) gwo plak pwotèj an fè. Lèfini, li fè kouvri yo chak ak yon kouch lò ki peze douz liv.
16 Li fè fè twasan (300) ti plak pwotèj, li fè kouvri yo chak ak yon kouch lò ki peze sis liv. Li mete tout plak pwotèj sa yo nan salon Rakbwa Peyi Liban an.
17 Li fè fè tou yon gwo fotèy ak kòn elefan. Li fè kouvri l' ak pi bon kalite lò ki genyen.
18 Pou rive bò fotèy la, se pou ou te moute sis mach eskalye. Devan fotèy la te gen yon ti ban an lò pou wa a lonje pye l'. Fotèy la te gen de manch. Sou kote manch yo, sou chak bò te gen pòtre yon lyon.
19 Te gen douz lyon sou mach eskalye yo, de sou chak mach nan de pwent yo. Pat gen ankenn lòt peyi ki te gen yon fotèy pou wa parèy ak sa a.
20 Tout gode wa Salomon te sèvi pou l' bwè te fèt an lò. Tout bagay ki te sèvi nan Salon Rakbwa Peyi Liban an te fèt an bon lò. Yo pa t' sèvi ak ajan menm, paske sou rèy Salomon, ajan pa t' vo anyen.
21 Li te gen yon kantite batiman pa l' ki t'ap vwayaje ale nan peyi Tasis. Se moun Iram yo ki te mennen yo pou li. Chak twazan, batiman yo te tounen chaje ak lò, ajan, kòn elefan, pan ak makak.
22 Wa Salomon te pi rich pase tout lòt wa yo. Li te gen plis bon konprann pase yo tout.
23 Tout wa toupatou te vin wè Salomon pou tande bèl pawòl Bondye te mete nan bouch li.
24 Chak moun ki te vini te pote kado pou li, bagay ki fèt an ajan ak an lò, rad, zam, fèy santi bon, chwal ak milèt. Chak lanne se te konsa.
25 Salomon te gen katmil (4.000) kay kote li te mete chwal li yo ak cha lagè, ak douzmil (12.000) chwal pou sòlda kavalye yo. Li mete yon pòsyon nan lavil kote li te gen cha li yo, rès yo li mete yo lavil Jerizalèm bò kote l'.
26 Salomon te sèl chèf sou tout wa ki t'ap gouvènen depi larivyè Lefrat rive nan peyi Filisti, jouk sou fwontyè peyi Lejip.
27 Pandan tout rèy li, ajan te tankou wòch lavil Jerizalèm. Bwa sèd menm, ou te jwenn sa an kantite tankou pye sikomò nan rakbwa nan plenn peyi Jida yo.
28 Se nan peyi Lejip ak nan tout lòt peyi Salomon te fè chache chwal li yo.
29 Tout rès istwa Salomon an, depi premye jou li te moute wa a rive jouk dènye jwa a, nou jwenn li nan liv istwa pwofèt Natan, nan liv mesaj Akija, moun lavil Silo a, ak nan liv vizyon pwofèt Ido ki pale sou wa Jewoboram, pitit Nebat la.
30 Salomon te wa lavil Jerizalèm, li te gouvènen tout pèp Izrayèl la pandan karantan.
31 Lè li mouri, yo antere l' nan lavil David, papa l'. Se Woboram, pitit li, ki moute wa nan plas li.

2 Chronicles 9
New International Version
The Queen of Sheba Visits Solomon(A)
9 When the queen of Sheba(B) heard of Solomon’s fame, she came to Jerusalem to test him with hard questions. Arriving with a very great caravan—with camels carrying spices, large quantities of gold, and precious stones—she came to Solomon and talked with him about all she had on her mind. 2 Solomon answered all her questions; nothing was too hard for him to explain to her. 3 When the queen of Sheba saw the wisdom of Solomon,(C) as well as the palace he had built, 4 the food on his table, the seating of his officials, the attending servants in their robes, the cupbearers in their robes and the burnt offerings he made at[a] the temple of the Lord, she was overwhelmed.
5 She said to the king, “The report I heard in my own country about your achievements and your wisdom is true. 6 But I did not believe what they said until I came(D) and saw with my own eyes. Indeed, not even half the greatness of your wisdom was told me; you have far exceeded the report I heard. 7 How happy your people must be! How happy your officials, who continually stand before you and hear your wisdom! 8 Praise be to the Lord your God, who has delighted in you and placed you on his throne(E) as king to rule for the Lord your God. Because of the love of your God for Israel and his desire to uphold them forever, he has made you king(F) over them, to maintain justice and righteousness.”
9 Then she gave the king 120 talents[b] of gold,(G) large quantities of spices, and precious stones. There had never been such spices as those the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.
10 (The servants of Hiram and the servants of Solomon brought gold from Ophir;(H) they also brought algumwood[c] and precious stones. 11 The king used the algumwood to make steps for the temple of the Lord and for the royal palace, and to make harps and lyres for the musicians. Nothing like them had ever been seen in Judah.)
12 King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba all she desired and asked for; he gave her more than she had brought to him. Then she left and returned with her retinue to her own country.
Solomon’s Splendor(I)
13 The weight of the gold that Solomon received yearly was 666 talents,[d] 14 not including the revenues brought in by merchants and traders. Also all the kings of Arabia(J) and the governors of the territories brought gold and silver to Solomon.
15 King Solomon made two hundred large shields of hammered gold; six hundred shekels[e] of hammered gold went into each shield. 16 He also made three hundred small shields(K) of hammered gold, with three hundred shekels[f] of gold in each shield. The king put them in the Palace of the Forest of Lebanon.(L)
17 Then the king made a great throne covered with ivory(M) and overlaid with pure gold. 18 The throne had six steps, and a footstool of gold was attached to it. On both sides of the seat were armrests, with a lion standing beside each of them. 19 Twelve lions stood on the six steps, one at either end of each step. Nothing like it had ever been made for any other kingdom. 20 All King Solomon’s goblets were gold, and all the household articles in the Palace of the Forest of Lebanon were pure gold. Nothing was made of silver, because silver was considered of little value in Solomon’s day. 21 The king had a fleet of trading ships[g] manned by Hiram’s[h] servants. Once every three years it returned, carrying gold, silver and ivory, and apes and baboons.
22 King Solomon was greater in riches and wisdom than all the other kings of the earth.(N) 23 All the kings(O) of the earth sought audience with Solomon to hear the wisdom God had put in his heart. 24 Year after year, everyone who came brought a gift(P)—articles of silver and gold, and robes, weapons and spices, and horses and mules.
25 Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots,(Q) and twelve thousand horses,[i] which he kept in the chariot cities and also with him in Jerusalem. 26 He ruled(R) over all the kings from the Euphrates River(S) to the land of the Philistines, as far as the border of Egypt.(T) 27 The king made silver as common in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar as plentiful as sycamore-fig trees in the foothills. 28 Solomon’s horses were imported from Egypt and from all other countries.
Solomon’s Death(U)
29 As for the other events of Solomon’s reign, from beginning to end, are they not written in the records of Nathan(V) the prophet, in the prophecy of Ahijah(W) the Shilonite and in the visions of Iddo the seer concerning Jeroboam(X) son of Nebat? 30 Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years. 31 Then he rested with his ancestors and was buried in the city of David(Y) his father. And Rehoboam his son succeeded him as king.
