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.
And Solomon the son of David was established over his kingdom, and the Lord his God was with him, and increased him exceedingly.
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.
And Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the captains of thousands, and to the captains of hundreds, and to the judges, and to all the rulers over Israel, even 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 all the congregation went to the high place that was in Gabaon, where was God's tabernacle of witness, which Moses the servant of the Lord made in the wilderness.
4 Noyudo ka Daudi nosekelo Sandug Nyasaye koa Kiriath Jearim nyaka kama noselosone, nikech nosegurone hema Jerusalem.
But David had brought up the ark of God out of the city of Cariathiarim; for David had prepared a place for it, for he had pitched a tabernacle 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.
And the brazen altar which Beseleel the son of Urias, the son of Or, had made, was there before the tabernacle of the Lord: and Solomon and the congregation enquired at it.
6 Solomon noidho malo kar kendo mar misango mar mula e nyim Jehova Nyasaye ei Hemb Romo, mochiwo misengini miwangʼo pep alufu achiel.
And Solomon brought [victims] thither to the brazen altar that was before the Lord in the tabernacle, and offered upon it a thousand whole-burnt-offerings.
7 Gotieno nogo Nyasaye nofwenyore ne Solomon mowachone niya, “Kwa gimoro amora midwaro mondo amiyi.”
In that night God appeared to Solomon, and said to him, Ask what I shall give thee.
8 Solomon nodwoko Nyasaye niya, “isenyiso ngʼwono maduongʼ ni Daudi wuora kendo iketa abedo ruoth kare.
And Solomon said to God, Thou hast dealt very mercifully with my father David, and hast made me king in his stead.
9 Koro, Jehova Nyasaye, mad imi singruok mane imiyo wuora Daudi ochopi, nikech iseketa ruoth kuom oganda mangʼeny ka buru manie piny.
And now, O Lord God, let, I pray thee, thy name be established upon David my father; for thou hast made me king over a people 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 give me wisdom and understanding, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who shall judge this thy great people?
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,
And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thy heart, and thou hast not asked great wealth, nor glory, nor the life of thine enemies, and thou hast not asked long life; but hast asked for thyself wisdom and understanding, that thou mightest judge my people, over whom I have made thee 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.”
I give thee this wisdom and understanding; and I will give thee wealth, and riches, and glory, so that there shall not have been [any] like thee among the kings before thee, neither shall there be such after thee.
13 Bangʼe Solomon nodok Jerusalem koa kamotingʼore gi malo man Gibeon, e nyim Hemb Romo. Kendo notiyo tich ruoth Israel.
And Solomon came from the high place that was in Gabaon to Jerusalem, [from] before the tabernacle of witness, and 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.
And Solomon collected chariots and horsemen: and he had fourteen hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen: and he set them in the cities of chariots, and the people [were] with the king 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.
And the king made silver and gold in Jerusalem [to be] as stones, and cedars in Judea as sycamores in the plain for multitude.
16 Solomon nokelo farese koa Misri kod e piny miluongo ni Kue, johala mag ruoth nongʼiewogi e piny Kue.
And Solomon imported horses from Egypt, and the charge of the king's merchants for going [was as follows], and they traded,
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.
and went and brought out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred [pieces] of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty [pieces] of silver: and so they brought for all the kings of the Chettites, and for the kings of Syria by their means.
