< 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.
Ary Solomona, zanak’ i Davida, dia nitombo hery tamin’ ny fanjakany, ary Jehovah Andriamaniny nomba azy ka nanandratra azy indrindra.
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.
Ary Solomona nandidy Isiraely rehetra, dia mpifehy arivo sy mpifehy zato sy mpitsara ary loham-pirenena rehetra tamin’ ny Isiraely, dia lohan’ ny fianakaviana,
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.
ka dia niara-niakatra ho any amin’ ny fitoerana avo tao Gibeona Solomona sy fiangonana rehetra; fa tao trano-lay fihaonana izay an’ Andriamanitra, ilay nataon’ i Mosesy, mpanompon’ i Jehovah, tany an-efitra.
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.
Fa fiaran’ Andriamanitra efa nampakarin’ i Davida avy ta Kiriata-jearima ho ao amin’ izay efa namboariny ho azy; fa efa nanorina lay ho azy tany Jerosalema izy.
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.
Ary alitara varahina izay nataon’ i Bezalila, zanak’ i Ory zanak’ i Hora, dia teo anoloan’ ny tabernakelin’ i Jehovah; ary Solomona sy fiangonana nitady Azy tao.
6 Solomon offered sacrifices there before the LORD on the bronze altar in the Tent of Meeting, where he offered a thousand burnt offerings.
Ary Solomona nanatitra fanatitra teo amin’ ny alitara varahina teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah, izay momba ny trano-lay fihaonana; fanatitra dorana arivo no nateriny teo.
7 That night God appeared to Solomon and said, “Ask, and I will give it to you!”
Tamin’ ny alin’ iny no nisehoan’ Andriamanitra tamin’ i Solomona, ka hoy Izy taminy: Angataho izay tianao homeko anao.
8 Solomon replied to God: “You have shown much loving devotion to my father David, and You have made me king in his place.
Dia hoy Solomona tamin’ Andriamanitra: Hianao efa naneho fahasoavana lehibe tamin’ i Davida raiko ary nampanjaka ahy handimby azy.
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.
Koa ankehitriny, ry Jehovah Andriamanitra ô, aoka ho tanteraka teninao tamin’ i Davida raiko; fa Hianao efa nampanjaka ahy tamin’ ny vahoaka maro be tahaka ny vovo-tany.
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?”
Koa omeo fahendrena sy fahalalana aho hitarihako ireto vahoaka ireto mivoaka sy miditra; fa iza no hahay mitsara izao olonao betsaka izao?
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—
Dia hoy Andriamanitra tamin’ i Solomona: Satria tao am-ponao izany ka tsy nangataka vola aman-karena ianao, na voninahitra, na ain’ ny fahavalonao, ary tsy nangataka ho ela velona aza, fa nangataka fahendrena sy fahalalana hitsaranao ny oloko izay nampanjakako anao,
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.”
dia omena anao ny fahendrena sy fahalalana; ary homeko vola aman-karena sy voninahitra koa ianao, mihoatra noho izay nananan’ ny mpanjaka rehetra na iza na iza tany alohanao, ary tsy hisy hanana tahaka izany ny any aorianao.
13 So Solomon went to Jerusalem from the high place in Gibeon before the Tent of Meeting, and he reigned over Israel.
Ary tonga tany Jerosalema Solomona avy teo amin’ ny fitoerana avo tao Gibeona, dia teo anoloan’ ny trano-lay fihaonana; ary nanjaka tamin’ ny Isiraely izy.
14 Solomon accumulated 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horses, which he stationed in the chariot cities and also with him in Jerusalem.
Ary Solomona nanangona kalesy sy mpitaingin-tsoavaly ka nanana kalesy efa-jato amby arivo sy mpitaingin-tsoavaly roa arivo sy iray alina, izay nataony tany amin’ ireny tanàna fitoeran’ ny kalesy ary tao amin’ ny mpanjaka tany Jerosalema.
15 The king made silver and gold as common in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar as abundant as sycamore in the foothills.
Ary nataon’ ny mpanjaka ho tahaka ny vato ny habetsaky ny volafotsy sy ny volamena tany Jerosalema, ary ny hazo sedera nataony toy ny aviavy eny amin’ ny tany lemaka amoron-tsiraka.
16 Solomon’s horses were imported from Egypt and Kue; the royal merchants purchased them from Kue.
Avy tany Egypta no nahazoan’ i Solomona soavaly; ary ny iray toko tamin’ ny mpandranton’ ny mpanjaka dia naka andiany iray araka izay vidiny voatendry.
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.
Ary ny vidin’ ny kalesy iray nentiny niakatra avy tany Egypta dia sekely volafotsy enin-jato, ary ny soavaly dia dimam-polo amby zato avy; ary toy izany koa no nitondrany ho an’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Hetita sy ny mpanjakan’ ny Syriana.
