2 Chronicles 1
1 And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and the Lord his God was with him, and magnified him to a high degree.
Solomo, David ƒe vi li ke eɖokui sesĩe ɖe eƒe fiaɖuɖu la me elabena Yehowa, eƒe Mawu la li kplii eye wòna eƒe ŋkɔ de dzi ŋutɔ.
2 And Solomon gave orders to all Israel, to the captains of thousands, and of hundreds, and to the rulers, and to the judges of all Israel, and the heads of the families:
Tete Solomo ƒo nu na Israel blibo la, na asrafo akpewo kple asrafo alafawo dzi kpɔlawo, ʋɔnudrɔ̃lawo kple kplɔlawo katã le Israel kple ƒometatɔwo
3 And he went with all the multitude to the high place of Gabaon, where was the tabernacle of the covenant of the Lord, which Moses the servant of God made, in the wilderness.
eye Solomo kple ameha blibo la yi vɔsaƒe si le Gibeon. Mawu ƒe agbadɔ si Mose, Yehowa ƒe dɔla tu le gbedzi la nɔ afi ma.
4 For David had brought the ark of God from Cariathiarim to the place, which he had prepared for it, and where he had pitched a tabernacle for it, that is, in Jerusalem.
Fia David va tu agbadɔ aɖe emegbe ɖe Yerusalem na Yehowa ƒe nubablaɖaka la eye wòtsɔe tso Kiriat Yearim va afi si wòdzra ɖo ɖi nɛ.
5 And the altar of brass, which Beseleel the son of Uri the son of Hur had made, was there before the tabernacle of the Lord: and Solomon and all the assembly sought it:
Ke akɔblivɔsamlekpui si Bezalel, Uri ƒe viŋutsu, ame si nye Hur ƒe viŋutsu wɔ la nɔ Gibeon le Yehowa ƒe agbadɔ la ƒe ŋgɔgbe ale Solomo kple ameawo bia eta le afi ma.
6 And Solomon went up thither to the brazen altar, before the tabernacle of the covenant of the Lord, and offered up on it a thousand victims.
Solomo yi akɔblivɔsamlekpui la gbɔ le Yehowa ŋkume le agbadɔ la me eye wòsa numevɔ akpe ɖeka ɖe edzi.
7 And behold that night God appeared to him, saying: Ask what thou wilt that I should give thee.
Le zã ma me la, Mawu ɖe eɖokui fia Solomo eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “Bia nu sia nu si dze ŋuwò la eye matsɔe ana wò!”
8 And Solomon said to God: Thou hast shewn great kindness to my father David: and hast made me king in his stead.
Solomo ɖo eŋu be, “Oo Mawu, ève fofonye, David nu ŋutɔ eye azɔ la, ètsɔ fiaɖuƒe la nam.
9 Now therefore, O Lord God, let thy word be fulfilled, which thou hast promised to David my father: for thou hast made me king over thy great people, which is as innumerable as the dust of the earth.
Esia koe nye nu si mehiã elabena èwɔ ŋugbe si nèdo na fofonye, David la dzi eye nètsɔm ɖo Fiae ɖe dukɔ si me viwo sɔ gbɔ abe anyigbadzike ene la dzi!
10 Give me wisdom and knowledge that I may come in and go out before thy people: for who can worthily judge this thy people, which is so great?
Azɔ la, na nunya kple sidzedzem be maɖu nye amewo dzi nyuie elabena ame ka ate ŋu aɖu dukɔ gã sia tɔgbi abe wò dukɔ la ene dzi le eɖokui si?”
11 And God said to Solomon: Because this choice hath pleased thy heart, and thou hast not asked riches, and wealth, and glory, nor the lives of them that hate thee, nor many days of life: but hast asked wisdom and knowledge, to be able to judge my people, over which I have made thee king,
Mawu ɖo eŋu be, “Esi wò didi gãtɔe nye be yeakpe ɖe yeƒe amewo ŋu eye mèbia kesinɔnuwo kple bubu na ɖokuiwò o, mèbia be maƒo fi de yeƒe futɔwo o eye mèbia agbe didi na ɖokuiwò o, ke boŋ èbia nunya kple sidzedze be, yeakplɔ yeƒe amewo nyuie ta la,
12 Wisdom and knowledge are granted to thee: and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and glory, so that none of the kings before thee, nor after thee, shall be like thee.
matsɔ nunya kple sidzedze si nèbia la na wò! Hekpe ɖe esiawo ŋu la, matsɔ kesinɔnuwo, ga kple bubu si tɔgbi nyemena fia aɖeke kpɔ haɖe o la, na wò! Gawu la, fia gã sia tɔgbi aɖeke maganɔ anyi akpɔ gbeɖe le xexe blibo la me o!”
13 Then Solomon came from the high place of Gabaon to Jerusalem before the tabernacle of the covenant, and reigned over Israel.
Azɔ la, Solomo dzo le agbadɔ la me, eɖi tso togbɛ la dzi le Gibeon heyi Yerusalem be yeaɖu Israel dzi.
14 And he gathered to himself chariots and horsemen, and he had a thousand four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen: and he placed them in the cities of the chariots, and with the king in Jerusalem.
Eƒo tasiaɖam akpe ɖeka alafa ene kple sɔdola akpe wuieve nu ƒu be woadzɔ du siwo me tasiaɖamwo le la ŋu, togbɔ be woda ɖewo ɖe fia la gbɔ le Yerusalem hã.
15 And the king made silver and gold to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar trees as sycamores, which grow in the plains in great multitude.
Le Fia Solomo ƒe fiaɖuɣi la, klosalo kple sika bɔ ɖe Yerusalem abe ale si kpewo nɔa mɔ dzi ene eye wowɔa sedati ŋu dɔ abe ale si wowɔa gboti si bɔ fũu la ŋu dɔ ene.
16 And there were horses brought him from Egypt, and from Coa by the king’s merchants, who went, and bought at a price,
Solomo dɔ sɔsitsalawo ɖe Egipte kple Kue be woaƒle sɔhawo vɛ. Fia la ƒe asitsalawo ƒlea wo tso Kue.
17 A chariot of four horses for six hundred pieces of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty: in like manner market was made in all the kingdoms of the Hethites, and of the kings of Syria.
Wodɔ tasiaɖam tso Egipte esi ƒe asie nye klosaloga kilogram adre kple sɔ si ƒe asie nye, klosaloga kilogram ɖeka kple afã. Woawo hã dzraa wo na dutafiawo, ame siwo nye Hititɔwo kple Aramtɔwo ƒe fiawo.
