2 Weche Mag Ndalo 1
1 Solomon wuod Daudi nogurore motegno e pinye nikech Jehova Nyasaye Nyasache ne ni kode kendo ne okete obedo ngʼama duongʼ miwuoro.
Now Solomon son of David established himself securely over his kingdom, and the LORD his God was with him and highly exalted him.
2 Eka Solomon nowuoyo gi jo-Israel duto, magin jotend migepe mag jolweny alufu achiel kod jotend jolweny mag mia achiel, gi jongʼad bura, to gi jotelo duto man Israel, kaka jotend dhoudi.
Then Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, to the judges, and to every leader in all Israel—the heads of the families.
3 Kendo Solomon gi chokruok duto nodhi kar lemo motingʼore malo e Gibeon nikech Hemb Romo mar Nyasaye mane Musa jatich Jehova Nyasaye noloso e thim ne ni kanyo.
And Solomon and the whole assembly went to the high place at Gibeon because it was the location of God’s Tent of Meeting, which Moses the servant of the LORD had made in the wilderness.
4 Noyudo ka Daudi nosekelo Sandug Nyasaye koa Kiriath Jearim nyaka kama noselosone, nikech nosegurone hema Jerusalem.
Now David had brought the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim to the place he had prepared for it, because he had pitched a tent for it in Jerusalem.
5 To kendo mar misango mar mula mane Bezalel wuod Uri ma wuod Hur noloso ne ni Gibeon e nyim hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye, omiyo Solomon kod oganda duto nolamo Nyasaye kanyo.
But the bronze altar made by Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, was in Gibeon before the tabernacle of the LORD. So Solomon and the assembly inquired of Him there.
6 Solomon noidho malo kar kendo mar misango mar mula e nyim Jehova Nyasaye ei Hemb Romo, mochiwo misengini miwangʼo pep alufu achiel.
Solomon offered sacrifices there before the LORD on the bronze altar in the Tent of Meeting, where he offered a thousand burnt offerings.
7 Gotieno nogo Nyasaye nofwenyore ne Solomon mowachone niya, “Kwa gimoro amora midwaro mondo amiyi.”
That night God appeared to Solomon and said, “Ask, and I will give it to you!”
8 Solomon nodwoko Nyasaye niya, “isenyiso ngʼwono maduongʼ ni Daudi wuora kendo iketa abedo ruoth kare.
Solomon replied to God: “You have shown much loving devotion to my father David, and You have made me king in his place.
9 Koro, Jehova Nyasaye, mad imi singruok mane imiyo wuora Daudi ochopi, nikech iseketa ruoth kuom oganda mangʼeny ka buru manie piny.
Now, O LORD God, let Your promise to my father David be fulfilled. For You have made me king over a people as numerous as the dust of the earth.
10 Miya rieko kod ngʼeyo mondo atel ne ogandani nimar en ngʼa manyalo telo ni oganda maduongʼ machalo kama?”
Now grant me wisdom and knowledge, so that I may lead this people. For who is able to govern this great people of Yours?”
11 Nyasaye nodwoko Solomon niya, “Nikech ma e gima chunyi dwaro kendo ne ok ikwaya mwandu kata duongʼ kata pak, kata tho mar wasiki, kata kwayo mondo idag amingʼa, to isekwayo rieko kod ngʼeyo kaka dirit ogandana ma aseketi ibedo e ruoth,
God said to Solomon, “Since this was in your heart instead of requesting riches or wealth or glory for yourself or death for your enemies—and since you have not even requested long life but have asked for wisdom and knowledge to govern My people over whom I have made you king—
12 omiyo anamiyi rieko kod ngʼeyo. Kendo abiro miyi mwandu kod duongʼ kod pak maonge ruoth kata achiel kuom mago moteloni kata mabiro bangʼi nobedgo.”
therefore wisdom and knowledge have been granted to you. And I will also give you riches and wealth and honor unlike anything given to the kings before you or after you.”
13 Bangʼe Solomon nodok Jerusalem koa kamotingʼore gi malo man Gibeon, e nyim Hemb Romo. Kendo notiyo tich ruoth Israel.
So Solomon went to Jerusalem from the high place in Gibeon before the Tent of Meeting, and he reigned over Israel.
14 Solomon nongʼiewo geche mag lweny kod farese; ne en gi geche lweny alufu achiel mia angʼwen kod farese alufu apar gariyo mane oketo e mier madongo mag geche lweny to moko bende noketo Jerusalem kama nodake.
Solomon accumulated 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horses, which he stationed in the chariot cities and also with him in Jerusalem.
15 Ruoth nomiyo fedha gi dhahabu obedo manwangʼo yot ka kidi akida Jerusalem kendo yiend sida ne ngʼeny mana ka yiend ngʼowu ma otwi e got.
The king made silver and gold as common in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar as abundant as sycamore in the foothills.
16 Solomon nokelo farese koa Misri kod e piny miluongo ni Kue, johala mag ruoth nongʼiewogi e piny Kue.
Solomon’s horses were imported from Egypt and Kue; the royal merchants purchased them from Kue.
17 Negingʼiewo gach lweny koa Misri e nengo mar kilo abiriyo mar fedha kendo faras achiel e nengo maromo kilo ariyo. Bende ne giusogi ni ruodhi duto mag jo-Hiti gi jo-Aram.
A chariot could be imported from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty. Likewise, they exported them to all the kings of the Hittites and to the kings of Aram.
