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.
Ɔhene Dawid babarima Salomo sɔɔ ahennie no mu den, ɛfiri sɛ Awurade, ne Onyankopɔn kaa ne ho maa no tumi a ɛso.
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.
Ɔfrɛɛ Israel nyinaa, asahene ne asraadɔm ntuanofoɔ, atemmufoɔ, amanyɛ ne mmusua ntuanofoɔ nyinaa.
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.
Na Salomo dii nnipa no nyinaa anim kɔɔ bepɔ Gibeon so hɔ baabi a wɔde Onyankopɔn Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no asie. Yei yɛ Ntomadan a Mose a ɔyɛ Awurade ɔsomfoɔ sii wɔ ɛserɛ no so no.
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.
Na Dawid ayi Onyankopɔn Adaka no afiri Kiriat-Yearim de kɔ ntomadan sononko bi a wasi wɔ Yerusalem mu.
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.
Nanso, na kɔbere mfrafraeɛ afɔrebukyia a Hur nana a ɔyɛ Uri babarima Besaleel siiɛ no da so wɔ Gibeon, wɔ Awurade Asɔredan no anim. Enti, Salomo ne nnipa no boaa wɔn ho ano wɔ hɔ, bisaa Awurade akwankyerɛ.
6 Solomon offered sacrifices there before the LORD on the bronze altar in the Tent of Meeting, where he offered a thousand burnt offerings.
Hyiadan no anim hɔ, Salomo foro kɔɔ kɔbere mfrafraeɛ afɔrebukyia no ho wɔ Awurade anim, bɔɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ahodoɔ apem wɔ so.
7 That night God appeared to Solomon and said, “Ask, and I will give it to you!”
Ɛda no anadwo, Onyankopɔn yii ne ho adi wɔ daeɛ mu kyerɛɛ Salomo, bisaa no sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na wopɛ? Bisa na mede bɛma wo!”
8 Solomon replied to God: “You have shown much loving devotion to my father David, and You have made me king in his place.
Salomo buaa Onyankopɔn sɛ, “Wodii mʼagya Dawid nokorɛ na woyɛɛ no adɔeɛ, na afei wode me asi nʼanan mu sɛ ɔhene.
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.
Na afei Awurade Onyankopɔn, mesrɛ wo di ɛbɔ a wohyɛɛ mʼagya Dawid no so, ɛfiri sɛ wode me asi nnipa a wɔn dodoɔ te sɛ asase so mfuturo so ɔhene.
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?”
Ma me nyansa ne nimdeɛ, na memfa nni wɔn so yie, na hwan koraa na ɔbɛtumi adi wo ɔman kɛseɛ sei so?”
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—
Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Salomo sɛ, “Esiane sɛ wʼahiasɛm kɛseɛ ne sɛ wopɛ sɛ woboa wo manfoɔ, na woammisa ahodeɛ, animuonyam anaa wʼatamfoɔ wuo anaa nkwa tenten, na mmom, wobisaa nyansa ne nimdeɛ a wode bɛdi me nkurɔfoɔ so yie enti,
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.”
mɛma wo nyansa ne nimdeɛ a wobisaeɛ no. Afei, mɛma wo sika, ahodeɛ ne animuonyam a ɔhene biara a wadi wʼanim no nnyaa bi da, nanso ɔrennya no saa da biara da.”
13 So Solomon went to Jerusalem from the high place in Gibeon before the Tent of Meeting, and he reigned over Israel.
Na Salomo firii hyiadan a ɛwɔ Gibeon bepɔ no so no mu sane kɔɔ Yerusalem kɔdii ɔhene wɔ Israel so.
14 Solomon accumulated 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horses, which he stationed in the chariot cities and also with him in Jerusalem.
Salomo boaboaa asraadɔm a wɔdɔɔso yie a na nteaseɛnamkafoɔ apem ahanan ne apɔnkɔ ɔpedumienu ka ho ano. Ɔmaa wɔn mu dodoɔ no tenaa nteaseɛnam nkuropɔn mu, na ebi nso tena bɛnee no wɔ Yerusalem.
15 The king made silver and gold as common in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar as abundant as sycamore in the foothills.
Salomo ɛberɛ so no, dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ buu so sɛ aboɔ wɔ Yerusalem. Na ntweneduro aboɔden nnua nso buu so sɛ akyee nnua a na abu so wɔ Yuda mmepɔ ayaase no.
16 Solomon’s horses were imported from Egypt and Kue; the royal merchants purchased them from Kue.
Na wɔkra Salomo apɔnkɔ no firi Misraim ne Kilikia, ɛfiri sɛ, na ɔhene adwadifoɔ no nya no yie wɔ Kilikia.
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.
Saa ɛberɛ no, na wɔtumi tɔ Misraim nteaseɛnam a wɔde ba Yerusalem no nnwetɛbena kilogram nson, na apɔnkɔ nso, wɔtumi tɔ no nnwetɛbena kilogram mmienu. Wɔn nso kɔtontɔnn wɔn mu pii nso maa Hetifoɔ ne Aram ahemfo.
