2 Chronicles 1
1 Now Solomon son of David established himself securely over his kingdom, and the LORD his God was with him and highly exalted him.
Sulemaani mutabani wa Dawudi n’atebenkera ku bwakabaka bwe, kubanga Mukama Katonda we yali wamu naye, era n’amugulumiza nnyo.
2 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.
Awo Sulemaani n’ayita Isirayiri yonna, n’atumya abaduumizi b’enkumi n’ab’ebikumi, n’abalamuzi, n’abakadde bonna mu Isirayiri yonna, n’abakulembeze b’ennyumba za bajjajjaabwe.
3 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.
Sulemaani n’ekibiina kyonna ne bagenda e Gibyoni eyali ekifo ku lusozi awaali Eweema ya Katonda ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, Musa omuweereza wa Mukama gye yakuba, eyo mu ddungu.
4 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.
Naye Dawudi yali aggye essanduuko ya Katonda okuva e Kiriyasuyalimu, n’agitwala e Yerusaalemi gye yali agitegekedde ng’agizimbidde eweema.
5 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.
Era n’ekyoto eky’ekikomo Bezaaleeri mutabani wa Uli, muzzukulu wa Kuuli kye yali azimbye, kyali eyo mu lusiisira lwa Mukama, ne Sulemaani n’ekibiina kyonna gye beebuulizanga ku Mukama.
6 Solomon offered sacrifices there before the LORD on the bronze altar in the Tent of Meeting, where he offered a thousand burnt offerings.
Sulemaani n’ayambuka eri ekyoto eky’ekikomo n’alaga mu maaso ga Mukama mu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu n’aweerayo ku kyoto ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa lukumi.
7 That night God appeared to Solomon and said, “Ask, and I will give it to you!”
Ekiro ekyo Katonda n’alabikira Sulemaani n’amugamba nti, “Saba kyonna ky’oyagala nkuwe.”
8 Solomon replied to God: “You have shown much loving devotion to my father David, and You have made me king in his place.
Sulemaani n’addamu Katonda nti, “Olazze kitange Dawudi ekisa n’okwagala kungi nnyo, n’onfuula omusika we.
9 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.
Kaakano, Mukama Katonda, kye wasuubiza kitange Dawudi, nsaba kituukirizibwe, kubanga onfudde kabaka ow’eggwanga eryenkana ng’enfuufu ku nsi mu bungi bwayo.
10 Now grant me wisdom and knowledge, so that I may lead this people. For who is able to govern this great people of Yours?”
Ompe amagezi n’okumanya, ndyoke nkulembere abantu bano; kubanga ani ayinza okufuga eggwanga lyo lino eddene bwe liti?”
11 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—
Katonda n’addamu Sulemaani nti, “Kubanga ekyo kibadde mu mutima gwo, n’otosaba bintu, oba obugagga, wadde ekitiibwa newaakubadde okuwangula abalabe bo, ate n’otosaba na buwangaazi, naye n’osaba amagezi n’okumanya osobole okufuga abantu bange, ggwe, nga kabaka waabwe,
12 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.”
amagezi n’okumanya bikuweereddwa. Era nzija kukuwa obugagga, n’ebintu, n’ekitiibwa, ebitenkana ebyo bakabaka abaakusooka bye baalina, wadde abalijja ng’ovuddewo, bye balifuna.”
13 So Solomon went to Jerusalem from the high place in Gibeon before the Tent of Meeting, and he reigned over Israel.
Awo Sulemaani n’ava mu maaso g’Eweema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu e Gibyoni n’addayo e Yerusaalemi. N’afuga Isirayiri.
14 Solomon accumulated 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horses, which he stationed in the chariot cities and also with him in Jerusalem.
Sulemaani n’akuŋŋaanya amagaali n’abeebagala embalaasi; n’aba n’amagaali lukumi mu bina, n’abeebagala embalaasi omutwalo gumu mu enkumi bbiri, be yateeka mu bibuga eby’amagaali, ne mu Yerusaalemi gye yabeeranga.
15 The king made silver and gold as common in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar as abundant as sycamore in the foothills.
Kabaka n’afuula effeeza ne zaabu okuba ebyabulijjo mu Yerusaalemi, nga bingi ng’amayinja; era n’afuula n’emivule okuba emingi ng’emisukamooli mu nsenyi.
16 Solomon’s horses were imported from Egypt and Kue; the royal merchants purchased them from Kue.
Embalaasi za Sulemaani zaasubulibwanga okuva e Misiri, era abasuubuzi ba kabaka be baazigulangayo.
17 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.
Eggaali baagisuubulanga kilo musanvu eza ffeeza, embalaasi ne bagisuubulanga kilo emu ne desimoolo musanvu eza ffeeza okuva e Misiri. Ate era baazitunzanga ne bakabaka bonna ab’Abakiiti ne bakabaka ab’e Busuuli.
