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 exceedingly.

Pea naʻe fakamālohi ʻa Solomone ko e foha ʻo Tevita ʻi hono puleʻanga, pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻa Sihova ko hono ʻOtua, ʻo ne fakahikihiki ia ke lahi ʻaupito.

2 And Solomon spoke unto all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to every prince in all Israel, the heads of the fathers' houses.

Pea naʻe toki lea ʻa Solomone ki ʻIsileli kotoa pē, ki he houʻeiki pule ʻoe ngaahi toko afe, mo e ngaahi toko teau, pea ki he kau fakamaau, pea ki he ngaahi pule fonua kotoa pē ʻi ʻIsileli, ko e kau tuʻukimuʻa ʻi he ngaahi tamai.

3 So Solomon, and all the congregation with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon; for there was the tent of meeting of God, which Moses the servant of the LORD had made in the wilderness.

Pea ko ia naʻe ʻalu ai ʻa Solomone, mo e fakataha kotoa pē mo ia, ki he potu māʻolunga naʻe ʻi Kipione; he naʻe ʻi ai ʻae fale fehikitaki ʻoe fakataha ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ʻi he toafa ʻe Mōsese ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻa Sihova.

4 But the ark of God had David brought up from Kiriath-jearim to the place that David had prepared for it; for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem.

Ka kuo ʻomi ʻe Tevita ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻae ʻOtua mei Kesa-Sialimi ki he potu naʻe teuteu ʻe Tevita ki ai: he naʻa ne fokotuʻu ha fale fehikitaki ki ai ʻi Selūsalema.

5 Moreover the brazen altar, that Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, had been put before the tabernacle of the LORD; and Solomon and the congregation sought unto it.

Pea ko e feilaulauʻanga palasa foki, ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ʻe Pesalili ko e foha ʻo Uli ko e foha ʻo Hua naʻa ne tuku ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻo Sihova: pea naʻe kumi ki ai ʻe Solomone pea mo e fakataha.

6 And Solomon offered there, upon the brazen altar before the LORD, which was at the tent of meeting, he offered a thousand burnt-offerings upon it.

Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ki ai ʻa Solomone ki he feilaulauʻanga palasa ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻaia naʻe ʻi he fale fehikitaki ʻoe fakataha, pea ne ʻatu ai ʻi hono funga ha ngaahi feilaulau tutu ʻe taha afe.

7 In that night did God appear unto Solomon, and said unto him: 'Ask what I shall give thee.'

Pea ʻi he pō ko ia naʻe hā mai ʻa Sihova kia Solomone, mo ne pehē kiate ia, “Kole mai ha meʻa te u foaki kiate koe.”

8 And Solomon said unto God: 'Thou hast shown great kindness unto David my father, and hast made me king in his stead.

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Solomone ki he ʻOtua, “Kuo ke fakahā ʻae ʻaloʻofa lahi kia Tevita ko ʻeku tamai, pea kuo ke tuku au ke u fetongi ia ʻi he pule.

9 Now, O LORD God, let Thy promise unto David my father be established; for Thou hast made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude.

Pea ko eni, ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua, tuku ke fakapapau ʻae talaʻofa naʻe fai ki heʻeku tamai ko Tevita: he kuo ke tuku au ko e tuʻi ki ha kakai ʻoku lahi ʻo hangē ko e efu ʻoe kelekele.

10 Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people; for who can judge this Thy people, that is so great?'

Foaki mai eni ʻae poto mo e ʻiloʻilo, koeʻuhi ke u faʻa feʻaluʻaki ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai: he ko hai ʻoku faʻa fakamaau ʻa hoʻo kakai lahi ni?”

11 And God said to Solomon: 'Because this was in thy heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honour, nor the life of them that hate thee, neither yet hast asked long life, but hast asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest judge My people, over whom I have made thee king;

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he ʻOtua kia Solomone, “Koeʻuhi naʻe ʻi ho loto ʻae meʻa ni pea kuo ʻikai te ke kole ha koloa, pe ko e maʻu meʻa, pe ko e ongoongo lahi, pe ko e moʻui ʻa hoʻo ngaahi fili, pe te ke kole ke ke moʻui fuoloa: ka kuo ke kole ki he poto mo e ʻiloʻilo maʻau, koeʻuhi ke ke faʻa fakamoʻui ai ʻa hoku kakai, ʻaia kuo u tuku koe ke ke tuʻi ki ai:

12 wisdom and knowledge is granted unto thee, and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honour, such as none of the kings have had that have been before thee, neither shall there any after thee have the like.'

Kuo foaki kiate koe ʻae poto mo e ʻiloʻilo: pea te u foaki kiate koe ʻae koloa mo e maʻu meʻa, mo e ongoongo lahi, kuo teʻeki ke maʻu ʻo lahi pehē ʻe he ngaahi tuʻi kuo ʻi muʻa ange ʻiate koe, pea ʻe ʻikai maʻu ʻo tatau mo ia ʻe ha tokotaha ʻe muimui kiate koe.”

13 So Solomon came from his journey to the high place that was at Gibeon, from before the tent of meeting, unto Jerusalem; and he reigned over Israel.

Pea hili eni naʻe haʻu ʻa Solomone mei he potu māʻolunga naʻe ʻi Kipione ki Selūsalema, mei he ʻao ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe fakataha, pea naʻa ne pule ki ʻIsileli.

14 And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen; and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, that he placed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.

Pea naʻe tānaki ʻe Solomone ʻae ngaahi saliote mo e kau tangata heka hoosi: pea naʻa ne maʻu ʻae saliote ʻe taha afe ma fāngeau, mo e kau heka hoosi ʻe taha mano ma ua afe, pea naʻa ne tuku ʻakinautolu ki he ngaahi kolo tukunga saliote, pea ke nofo mo e tuʻi ʻi Selūsalema.

15 And the king made silver and gold to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he to be as the sycamore-trees that are in the Lowland, for abundance.

Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻe he tuʻi ʻae siliva mo e koula ke hangē ko e maka ʻi Selūsalema, pea naʻa ne maʻu ʻo lahi ʻae ngaahi ʻakau sita ke tatau mo e ngaahi ʻakau sukamino ʻi he potu talalo.

16 And the horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt; also out of Keve, the king's merchants buying them of the men of Keve at a price.

Pea naʻe ʻomi kia Solomone ʻae fanga hoosi mei ʻIsipite, ʻaia naʻe tānaki: pea naʻe maʻu ʻaia naʻe tānaki ʻe he kau fakatau ʻae tuʻi ʻi he totongi.

17 And they fetched up, and brought out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty; and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of Aram, did they bring them out by their means.

Pea naʻe ʻalu atu mo ʻohake ha saliote mei ʻIsipite ko hono totongi ko e [konga ]siliva ʻe onongeau: pea ko e totongi ki ha hoosi ʻe taha ko e teau ma nimangofulu: pea naʻe pehē ʻenau taufetuku foki ia ki he ngaahi tuʻi kotoa pē ʻoe kakai Heti pea mo e ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Silia.
