2 Chronicles 1
1 Therfor Salomon, the sone of Dauid, was coumfortid in his rewme, and the Lord was with hym, and magnefiede hym an hiy.
Selemani mwana wa Daudi, aliimariswa katika utawala wake, na Yahwe Mungu wake alikuwa pamoja naye na alimpa nguvu nyingi sana.
2 And Salomon comaundide to al Israel, to tribunes, and centuriouns, and to duykis, and domesmen of al Israel, and to the princes of meynees;
Sulemani akasema kwa Israleli wote, na maakida wa maelfu na wa mamia, na kwa waamuzi, na kwa kila mfalme kiongozi katika Israeli yote, wakuu wa kaya.
3 and he yede with al the multitude in to the hiy place of Gabaon, where the tabernacle of boond of pees of the Lord was, which tabernacle Moyses, the seruaunt of the Lord, made in wildirnesse.
Hivyo Sulemani na kusanyiko lote wakaenda pamoja naye sehemu ya juu iliyokuwa Gibeoni, maana ndipo palikuwepo hema ya kukutania ya Mungu, ambayo Musa mtumishi wa Yahwe, alikuwa ameitengeneza jangwani.
4 Forsothe Dauid hadde brouyt the arke of God fro Cariathiarym in to the place which he hadde maad redy to it, and where he hadde set a tabernacle to it, that is, in to Jerusalem.
Lakini Daudi alikuwa ameleta pale sanduku la Mungu kutoka Kiriath yeriam hadi sehemu ambayo alikuwa ametayarisha, maana alikuwa ameliandalia hema huko katika Yerusalemu.
5 And the brasun auter, which Beseleel, the sone of Vri, sone of Vr, hadde maad, was there bifor the tabernacle of the Lord; whiche also Salomon and al the chirche souyte.
Zaidi ya hayo, madhabahu ya shaba iliyotengenezwa na Bezaleli mwana wa uri mwana wa Huri ilikuwepo huko kabla ya mbele ya madhabahu ya Yahwe; Sulemani na kusanyiko wakaenda ilikokuwa. (Maandiko ya zamani yanasema
6 And Salomon stiede to the brasun autir, bifor the tabernacle of boond of pees of the Lord, and offride in it a thousynde sacrifices.
Selemani akaenda huko kwenye kwenye madhabahu ya shaba mbele za Yahwe, ambayo ilikuwepo mahali pa hema ya kukutamia, na akatoa sadaka elfu za kuteketezwa juu yake.
7 Lo! `forsothe in that nyyt God apperide to hym, `and seide, Axe that that thou wolt, that Y yyue to thee.
Mungu akamtokea Selemani usiku huo na akasema kwake, “Omba! Nikupe nini?”
8 And Salomon seide to God, Thou hast do greet mersi with Dauid, my fadir, and hast ordeyned me kyng for hym.
Selemani akasema kwa Mungu, “Umeonesha agano la uaminifu mkuu kwa Daudi baba yangu, na umenifanya mfalme katika nafasi yaye.
9 Now therfor, Lord God, thi word be fillid, which thou bihiytist to Dauid, my fadir; for thou hast maad me kyng on thi greet puple, which is so vnnoumbrable as the dust of erthe.
Sasa, Yahwe Mungu, ahadi yako kwa Daudi baba yangu itimie, maana umenifanya mfalme juu ya watu wengi kama mavumbi ya dunia.
10 Yiue thou to me wisdom and vndurstondyng, that Y go in and go out bifor thi puple; for who may deme worthili this thi puple, which is so greet?
Sasa nipe hekima na maarifa, ili niweze kuwaongoza watu hawa, maana ni nani anayeweza kuwaamua watu wako, ambao ni wengi sana kwa idadi?”
11 Sotheli God seide to Salomon, For this thing pleside more thin herte, and thou axidist not richessis, and catel, and glorie, nether the lyues of them that hatiden thee, but nether ful many daies of lijf; but thou axidist wisdom and kunnyng, that thou maist deme my puple, on which Y ordeynede thee kyng,
Mungu akasema kwa Selemani, “Kwa kuwa hili lilikuwa kwenye moyo wako, na kwa kuwa hujaomba mali, utajiri, au heshima, wala maisha ya wale wanaokuchukia, wala maish marefu kwa jili yako binafsi, lakini umeomba hekima na maarifa kwa ajili yako, ili uwatawale watu wangu, ambao juu yao nimekufanya mfame, na hivi ndivyo nitafanya.
12 wisdom and kunnyng ben youun to thee; forsothe Y schal yyue to thee richessis, and catel, and glorie, so that noon among kyngis, nether bifor thee nethir aftir thee, be lijk thee.
Sasa nitakupa hekima na maarifa, pia nitakupa mali na utajiri, na heshima, kuliko wafalme wote waliokuwepo kabla yako walivyokuwa, na baada yako hakuna yeyote atakayekuwa navyo.”
13 Therfor Salomon cam fro the hiy place of Gabaon in to Jerusalem, bifor the tabernacle of boond of pees, and he regnede on Israel.
Kwa hiyo Selemani akaenda Yerusalemu kutoka sehemu ya juu iliyokuwepo Gibeoni, kutoka mbele ya hema ya kukutania; akatawala juu ya Israeli.
14 And he gaderide to hym chaaris and knyytis, and a thousynde and foure hundrid charis weren maad to hym, and twelue thousynde of knyytis; and he made hem to be in the citees of cartis, and with the kyng in Jerusalem.
Selemani akakusanya magari na wanaume waendesha farasi, naye alikuwa na magari 1, 400 na waendesha farasi kumi na mbili elfu ambao aliwaweka katika miji ya magari, pamoja naye, mfalme katika Yerusalemu.
15 And the kyng yaf in Jerusalem gold and siluer as stoonys, and cedris as sicomoris, that comen forth in feeldi places in greet multitude.
Mfalme akatengeneza fedha na dhahabu kuwa vitu vya kawaida kama mawe katika Yerusalemu, na mbao za mierezi kuwa kama miti ya mikuyu iliyomo katika nyanda za chini.
16 Forsothe horsis weren brouyt to hym fro Egipt, and fro Choa, bi the marchauntis of the kyng, whiche yeden, and bouyten bi prijs,
Selemani katika uagizaji wa farasi kutoka Misiri, wafanya biashara wake walinunua farasi kutoka Misiri kwa bei stahiki.
17 `a foure `horsid carte for sixe hundrid platis of siluer, and an hors for an hundrid and fifti. In lijk maner biyng was maad of alle the rewmes of citees, and of the kingis of Sirie.
Waliagiza gari kutoka Misiri kwa shekeli mia sita za fedha, na farasi mmoja kwa shekeli 150. Pia walinunua kutoka kwa wafalme wa Wahiti na wafalme wa Washamu.
