< 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.
Solomọn nwa Devid mere onwe ya ka o guzosie ike nʼalaeze ya, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị Chineke ya nọnyeere ya, meekwa ka ọ dị ukwuu hie nne.
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.
Mgbe ahụ, Solomọn gwara ndị Izrel niile okwu, ya bụ, ndịisi agha na-achị ọtụtụ puku ndị agha, na ndịisi agha na-achị ọtụtụ narị ndị agha, na ndị ikpe, na ndị ndu niile nọ nʼIzrel, na ndịisi ezinaụlọ niile.
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.
Solomọn ya na ọgbakọ ahụ niile, gara nʼebe dị elu nke Gibiọn, nʼihi nʼebe ahụ ka ụlọ nzute Chineke dị, bụ nke Mosis onyeozi Onyenwe anyị wuru nʼọzara.
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.
Ma Devid esitelarị na Kiriat Jearim buputa igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Chineke ahụ, bulaa ya nʼụlọ ikwu nke o wuru maka ya na Jerusalem.
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.
Ebe ịchụ aja bronz ahụ Bezalel nwa Uri, nwa Hua wuru dịkwa na Gibiọn, nʼihu ụlọ nzute Onyenwe anyị. Solomọn na ọgbakọ ahụ na-ajụta ya ase nʼebe bronz ahụ.
6 Solomon offered sacrifices there before the LORD on the bronze altar in the Tent of Meeting, where he offered a thousand burnt offerings.
Solomọn jere nʼebe ịchụ aja ahụ e ji bronz kpụọ, nke dị nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, nʼime ụlọ nzute, jiri anụ ụlọ ọnụọgụgụ ha dị otu puku chụọ aja nsure ọkụ nʼelu ya.
7 That night God appeared to Solomon and said, “Ask, and I will give it to you!”
Nʼabalị ụbọchị ahụ na Gibiọn, Onyenwe anyị mere ka Solomọn hụ ya anya, sị ya, “Rịọọ ihe ọbụla ị chọrọ ka m nye gị.”
8 Solomon replied to God: “You have shown much loving devotion to my father David, and You have made me king in his place.
Ma Solomọn zara Chineke, sị, “I gosila nna m bụ Devid obi ebere dị ukwuu. Ugbu a, i meekwala m eze nʼọnọdụ ya
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.
Ugbu a, Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke, ka nkwa gị nke i kwere nna m, bụ Devid, bụrụ ihe e mezuru, nʼihi na ị meela m eze ndị a bara ụba nʼọnụọgụgụ dịka aja nke ala.
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?”
Biko, nye m amamihe na nghọta, nke m ga-eji edu ndị a napụ na-abata, nʼihi na onye pụrụ ịchịkọta ndị gị a dị ukwuu?”
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—
Chineke zara Solomọn sị ya, “Ebe ọ bụ na ị rịọghị m ka m nye gị akụnụba, maọbụ ogologo ndụ; ebe ọ bụkwa na ị rịọghị m ka m mee ka ndị kpọrọ gị asị nwụsịa, maọbụ ka m mee ka i nwee nsọpụrụ karịa, kama mkpa na-akpa gị bụ ka m nye gị amamihe na nghọta ị ga-eji duzie ndị m, nke m mere gị eze ha.
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.”
Ya mere, enyela gị amamihe na nghọta dịka ị rịọrọ. Aga m enyekwa gị akụnụba na nsọpụrụ dị ukwuu, nke eze ọbụla nke buru gị ụzọ na-enwebeghị. Ọ dịkwaghị onye nke ga-eso gị ga-enwe ụdị ya.”
13 So Solomon went to Jerusalem from the high place in Gibeon before the Tent of Meeting, and he reigned over Israel.
Mgbe ahụ, Solomọn sitere nʼebe dị elu nke Gibiọn, site nʼihu ụlọ nzute ahụ, lọghachi na Jerusalem. Ọ chịrị dịka eze nʼIzrel.
14 Solomon accumulated 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horses, which he stationed in the chariot cities and also with him in Jerusalem.
Solomọn chịkọbara ọtụtụ ụgbọ agha na ịnyịnya dị iche iche. O nwere ụgbọ agha dị otu puku na narị anọ na ịnyịnya agha dị puku iri na abụọ nʼọnụọgụgụ, ndị o debere ụfọdụ nʼime ha nʼobodo ụgbọ agha ya ma ndị ọzọ dị na Jerusalem ebe ya onwe ya nọ.
15 The king made silver and gold as common in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar as abundant as sycamore in the foothills.
Eze mere ka ọlaọcha na ọlaedo baa ụba na Jerusalem, dịka nkume efu. O mekwara ka osisi sida dị ọtụtụ dịka osisi sikamọ nke dị nʼala ala ugwu dị iche iche
16 Solomon’s horses were imported from Egypt and Kue; the royal merchants purchased them from Kue.
A na-esite nʼIjipt nakwa ala Kue atụbatara Solomọn ịnyịnya. Ndị ahịa eze na-azụta ha site na Kue nʼọnụ ahịa a na-ere ha nʼoge ahụ.
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.
Ha sitere nʼIjipt tụbata otu ụgbọ agha nʼọnụ ahịa narị shekel ọlaọcha isii; jirikwa otu narị shekel na iri shekel ise zụta otu ịnyịnya. Ha zipụkwara ha nye ndị eze niile nke ndị Het na ndị Aram.
