Kronika 2 1
1 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.
And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and the LORD his God was with him, and magnified him exceedingly.
2 Tete Solomo ƒo nu na Israel blibo la, na asrafo akpewo kple asrafo alafawo dzi kpɔlawo, ʋɔnudrɔ̃lawo kple kplɔlawo katã le Israel kple ƒometatɔwo
Then Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to every governor in all Israel, the heads of the father’s houses.
3 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.
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 God, which Moses the servant of the LORD had made in the wilderness.
4 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.
But the ark of God David had brought up from Kirjathjearim to the place which David had prepared for it: for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem.
5 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.
Moreover the brasen altar, that Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, he put before the tabernacle of the LORD: and Solomon and the congregation sought for it.
6 Solomo yi akɔblivɔsamlekpui la gbɔ le Yehowa ŋkume le agbadɔ la me eye wòsa numevɔ akpe ɖeka ɖe edzi.
And Solomon went up there to the brasen altar before the LORD, which was at the tabernacle of the congregation, and offered a thousand burnt offerings upon it.
7 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!”
In that night God appeared to Solomon, and said to him, Ask what I shall give thee.
8 Solomo ɖo eŋu be, “Oo Mawu, ève fofonye, David nu ŋutɔ eye azɔ la, ètsɔ fiaɖuƒe la nam.
And Solomon said to God, Thou hast shown great mercy to David my father, and hast made me to reign in his stead.
9 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!
Now, O LORD God, let thy promise to David my father be established: for thou hast made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude.
10 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?”
Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who can judge this thy great people?
11 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,
And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thy heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honour, nor the life of thy 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:
12 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!”
Wisdom and knowledge are granted to 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.
13 Azɔ la, Solomo dzo le agbadɔ la me, eɖi tso togbɛ la dzi le Gibeon heyi Yerusalem be yeaɖu Israel dzi.
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.
14 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.
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.
15 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.
And the king made silver and gold at Jerusalem as plenteous as stones, and cedar trees made he as the sycamore trees that are in the vale for abundance.
16 Solomo dɔ sɔsitsalawo ɖe Egipte kple Kue be woaƒle sɔhawo vɛ. Fia la ƒe asitsalawo ƒlea wo tso Kue.
And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and linen yarn: the king’s merchants received the linen yarn at a price.
17 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.
And they fetched up, and brought out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred shekels of silver, and an horse for an hundred and fifty: and so they brought out horses for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, by their means.
