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.
Solomoni mwana wa Davide anakhazikika molimbika mu ufumu wake, pakuti Yehova Mulungu wake anali naye ndipo anamukweza kwambiri.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
Davide anabweretsa Bokosi la Mulungu kuchokera ku Kiriyati Yearimu, ndi kulikhazika kumalo kumene analikonzera popeza analimangira tenti mu Yerusalemu.
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.
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 Solomon offered sacrifices there before the LORD on the bronze altar in the Tent of Meeting, where he offered a thousand burnt offerings.
Solomoni anapita pamene panali guwa lansembe lamkuwa pamaso pa Yehova mu tenti ya msonkhano ndipo anapereka nsembe zopsereza 1,000.
7 That night God appeared to Solomon and said, “Ask, and I will give it to you!”
Usiku umenewo Mulungu anaonekera kwa Solomoni ndipo anati kwa iye, “Pempha chilichonse chimene ukufuna ndipo ndidzakupatsa.”
8 Solomon replied to God: “You have shown much loving devotion to my father David, and You have made me king in his place.
Solomoni anayankha Mulungu kuti, “Inu munaonetsa kukoma mtima kwakukulu kwa Davide abambo anga ndipo mwayika ine kukhala mfumu mʼmalo mwake.
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.
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 Now grant me wisdom and knowledge, so that I may lead this people. For who is able to govern this great people of Yours?”
Mundipatse nzeru ndi luntha zolamulira anthu awa, pakuti ndani amene angathe kulamulira anthu anu ochulukawa?”
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—
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 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.”
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 went to Jerusalem from the high place in Gibeon before the Tent of Meeting, and he reigned over Israel.
Kotero Solomoni anabwerera ku Yerusalemu kuchoka kumalo opembedzerako a ku Gibiyoni, ku tenti ya msonkhano ndipo analamulira Israeli.
14 Solomon accumulated 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horses, which he stationed in the chariot cities and also with him in 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 The king made silver and gold as common in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar as abundant as sycamore in the foothills.
Mfumu inasandutsa siliva ndi golide kukhala ngati miyala wamba mu Yerusalemu. Inasandutsanso mkungudza kukhala wochuluka ngati mitengo ya mkuyu ya ku zigwa.
16 Solomon’s horses were imported from Egypt and Kue; the royal merchants purchased them from Kue.
Solomoni amagula akavalo ku Igupto ndi Kuwe pakuti anthu amalonda a mfumu amakawagula ku Kuwe.
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.
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.
