2 Chronicles 1
1 And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom. And Jehovah his God was with him, and magnified him exceedingly.
Solomoni mwana wa Davide anakhazikika molimbika mu ufumu wake, pakuti Yehova Mulungu wake anali naye ndipo anamukweza kwambiri.
2 And Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to every ruler in all Israel, the heads of the fathers.
Tsono Solomoni anayankhula kwa Aisraeli onse, olamulira a anthu 1,000, olamulira a anthu 100, oweruza ndiponso kwa atsogoleri onse a Israeli ndi atsogoleri amabanja.
3 So Solomon, and all the assembly with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon. For the tent of meeting of God was there, which Moses the servant of Jehovah had made in the wilderness.
Solomoni pamodzi ndi gulu lonse la anthu anapita ku malo ofunika kwambiri pachipembedzo ku Gibiyoni. Tenti ya msonkhano ya Mulungu inali kumeneko, imene Mose mtumiki wa Yehova anayipanga mʼchipululu muja.
4 But the ark of God David had brought up from Kiriath-jearim to the place that David had prepared for it. For he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem.
Davide anabweretsa Bokosi la Mulungu kuchokera ku Kiriyati Yearimu, ndi kulikhazika kumalo kumene analikonzera popeza analimangira tenti mu Yerusalemu.
5 Moreover the brazen altar, that Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, was there before the tabernacle of Jehovah. And Solomon and the assembly sought to it.
Koma guwa lansembe lamkuwa limene Bezaleli mwana wa Uri, mwana wa Huri analipanga linali ku Gibiyoni kutsogolo kwa tenti ya Yehova. Kotero kuti Solomoni ndi gulu lonse anakapembedza kumeneko.
6 And Solomon went up there to the brazen altar before Jehovah, which was at the tent of meeting, and offered a thousand burnt offerings upon it.
Solomoni anapita pamene panali guwa lansembe lamkuwa pamaso pa Yehova mu tenti ya msonkhano ndipo anapereka nsembe zopsereza 1,000.
7 In that night God appeared to Solomon, and said to him, Ask what I shall give thee.
Usiku umenewo Mulungu anaonekera kwa Solomoni ndipo anati kwa iye, “Pempha chilichonse chimene ukufuna ndipo ndidzakupatsa.”
8 And Solomon said to God, Thou have shown great loving kindness to David my father, and have made me king in his stead.
Solomoni anayankha Mulungu kuti, “Inu munaonetsa kukoma mtima kwakukulu kwa Davide abambo anga ndipo mwayika ine kukhala mfumu mʼmalo mwake.
9 Now, O Jehovah God, let thy promise to David my father be established. For thou have made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude.
Tsopano Inu Yehova Mulungu, lolani kuti lonjezo lanu kwa abambo anga Davide likwaniritsidwe, pakuti mwandiyika kukhala mfumu ya anthu anu amene ndi ochuluka ngati fumbi la pa dziko lapansi.
10 Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people. For who can judge this thy people, that is so great?
Mundipatse nzeru ndi luntha zolamulira anthu awa, pakuti ndani amene angathe kulamulira anthu anu ochulukawa?”
11 And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thy heart, and thou have not asked riches, wealth, or honor, nor the life of those who hate thee, neither yet have asked long life, but have asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou may judge my people over whom I have made thee king,
Mulungu anati kwa Solomoni, “Popeza izi ndi zokhumba za mtima wako ndipo sunapemphe katundu, chuma kapena ulemu, kapena imfa ya adani ako, ndiponso poti sunapemphe moyo wautali koma nzeru ndi luntha kuti ulamulire anthu anga amene Ine ndakuyika kukhala mfumu yawo,
12 wisdom and knowledge are granted to thee. And I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honor, such as none of the kings have had who have been before thee, neither shall any after thee have the like.
Ine ndidzakupatsa nzeru ndi chidziwitso. Ndipo ndidzakupatsanso katundu, chuma ndi ulemu, zinthu zoti palibe mfumu imene inali nazo iwe usanakhalepo ndipo palibe wina amene adzakhale nazo iweyo ukadzafa.”
13 So Solomon came from the high place that was at Gibeon, from before the tent of meeting, to Jerusalem, and he reigned over Israel.
Kotero Solomoni anabwerera ku Yerusalemu kuchoka kumalo opembedzerako a ku Gibiyoni, ku tenti ya msonkhano ndipo analamulira Israeli.
14 And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen. And he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, that he placed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
Solomoni anasonkhanitsa magaleta ndi akavalo; anali ndi magaleta 1,400 ndi akavalo 12,000, amene anawayika mʼmizinda yosungira magaleta ndipo ena anali ndi iye mu Yerusalemu.
15 And the king made silver and gold to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars he made to be as the sycamore trees that are in the lowland, for abundance.
Mfumu inasandutsa siliva ndi golide kukhala ngati miyala wamba mu Yerusalemu. Inasandutsanso mkungudza kukhala wochuluka ngati mitengo ya mkuyu ya ku zigwa.
16 And the horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt. The king's merchants received them in herds, each herd at a price.
Solomoni amagula akavalo ku Igupto ndi Kuwe pakuti anthu amalonda a mfumu amakawagula ku Kuwe.
17 And they went after and brought out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty. And so they brought them out by their means for all the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of Syria.
Anthu ankagula galeta ku Igupto pa mtengo wa masekeli asiliva 600 ndipo kavalo pa mtengo wa ndalama zasiliva 150. Iwo ankazigulitsanso kwa mafumu onse a Ahiti ndi a Aramu.
