2 Chronicles 1
1 And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and YHWH his Elohim was with him, and magnified him exceedingly.
Ɔhene Dawid babarima Salomo soo ahenni no mu den, efisɛ Awurade, ne Nyankopɔn kaa ne ho maa no tumi a ɛso.
2 Then Solomon spake unto all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to every governor in all Israel, the chief of the fathers.
Ɔfrɛɛ Israel nyinaa, asahene ne asraafodɔm ntuanofo, atemmufo, amanyɛ ne mmusua ntuanofo nyinaa.
3 So Solomon, and all the congregation with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon; for there was the tabernacle of the congregation of Elohim, which Moses the servant of YHWH had made in the wilderness.
Na Salomo dii nnipa no nyinaa anim kɔɔ bepɔw Gibeon so baabi a wɔde Onyankopɔn Ahyiae Ntamadan no asi. Eyi yɛ Ntamadan a Mose a ɔyɛ Awurade somfo sii wɔ sare no so no.
4 But the ark of Elohim had David brought up from Kirjath-jearim to the place which David had prepared for it: for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem.
Na Dawid ayi Onyankopɔn Adaka no afi Kiriat-Yearim de akɔ ntamadan sononko bi a wasi wɔ Yerusalem mu.
5 Moreover the brasen altar, that Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, he put before the tabernacle of YHWH: and Solomon and the congregation sought unto it.
Nanso na kɔbere mfrafrae afɔremuka a Hur nena a ɔyɛ Uri babarima Besaleel sii 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 And Solomon went up thither to the brasen altar before YHWH, which was at the tabernacle of the congregation, and offered a thousand burnt offerings upon it.
Hyiadan no anim hɔ, Salomo foro kɔɔ kɔbere mfrafrae afɔremuka no ho wɔ Awurade anim, bɔɔ ɔhyew afɔre ahorow apem wɔ so.
7 In that night did Elohim appear unto Solomon, and said unto him, Ask what I shall give thee.
Da no anadwo, Onyankopɔn yii ne ho adi wɔ dae mu kyerɛɛ Salomo, bisaa no se, “Dɛn na wopɛ? Bisa na mede bɛma wo!”
8 And Solomon said unto Elohim, Thou hast shewed great mercy unto David my father, and hast made me to reign in his stead.
Salomo buaa Onyankopɔn se, “Wudii mʼagya Dawid nokware na woyɛɛ no adɔe, na afei wode me asi nʼanan mu sɛ ɔhene.
9 Now, O YHWH Elohim, 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.
Na afei Awurade Nyankopɔn, mesrɛ wo di bɔ a wohyɛɛ mʼagya Dawid no so, efisɛ wode me asi nnipa a wɔn dodow te sɛ asase so mfutuma so hene.
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?
Ma me nyansa ne nimdeɛ, na memfa nni wɔn so yiye, na hena koraa na obetumi adi wo man kɛse sɛɛ so?”
11 And Elohim said to Solomon, Because this was in thine heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honour, nor the life of thine enemies, 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:
Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Salomo se, “Esiane sɛ wʼahiasɛm kɛse ne sɛ wopɛ sɛ woboa wo manfo, na woammisa ahode, anuonyam anaa wʼatamfo wu anaa nkwa tenten, na mmom, wubisaa nyansa ne nimdeɛ a wode bedi me nkurɔfo so yiye nti,
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.
mɛma wo nyansa ne nimdeɛ a wubisae no. Afei, mɛma wo sika, ahode ne anuonyam a ɔhene biara a wadi wʼanim no nnyaa bi da, nanso ɔrennya no saa da biara da.”
13 Then Solomon came from his journey to the high place that was at Gibeon to Jerusalem, from before the tabernacle of the congregation, and reigned over Israel.
Na Salomo fii hyiadan a ɛwɔ Gibeon bepɔw no so no mu san kɔɔ Yerusalem kodii hene wɔ Israel so.
14 And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, which he placed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
Salomo nyaa nteaseɛnam ne apɔnkɔ bebree. Na ɔwɔ nteaseɛnam apem ahannan ne apɔnkɔ mpem dumien. Ɔde emu fa kɛse guguu nteaseɛnam nkuropɔn no so na ɔmaa bi nso kaa Yerusalem.
15 And the king made silver and gold at Jerusalem as plenteous as stones, and cedar trees made he as the sycomore trees that are in the vale for abundance.
Salomo bere so no, dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ buu so sɛ abo wɔ Yerusalem. Na sida aboɔden nnua nso buu so sɛ ankye nnua a na abu so wɔ Yuda mmepɔw no ase no.
16 And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and linen yarn: the king's merchants received the linen yarn at a price.
Na Salomo tɔɔ apɔnkɔ fii Misraim ne Kilikia, efisɛ na ɔhene no aguadifo nya wɔn fi Kilikia a wɔn bo no ye.
17 And they fetched up, and brought forth out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred shekels of silver, and an horse for an hundred and fifty: and so brought they out horses for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, by their means.
Saa bere no na wotumi tɔ Misraim nteaseɛnam a wɔde ba Yerusalem no nnwetɛbona kilogram ason, na apɔnkɔ nso, wotumi tɔ no nnwetɛbona kilogram abien. Wɔn nso kɔtontɔn wɔn nyinaa maa Hetifo ne Aram ahemfo.
