2 Maũndũ 1
1 Solomoni, mũrũ wa Daudi, nĩehaandire akĩrũma wega ũthamaki-inĩ wake, nĩgũkorwo Jehova Ngai wake aarĩ hamwe nake na akĩmũnenehia mũno makĩria.
Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and the LORD his God was with him, and magnified him exceedingly.
2 Nake Solomoni akĩarĩria andũ a Isiraeli othe: akĩarĩria anene a mbũtũ cia o ngiri ngiri, na anene a mbũtũ cia o igana igana, na aciiri, o na atongoria othe a kũu Isiraeli, na atongoria a nyũmba.
Solomon spoke to 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' households.
3 Nake Solomoni na kĩũngano kĩu gĩothe makĩambata kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru kũu Gibeoni, nĩgũkorwo Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo ya Ngai nĩkuo yarĩ, ĩrĩa Musa ndungata ya Jehova aathondekeire kũu werũ-inĩ.
So Solomon, and all the assembly 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.
4 Na rĩrĩ, Daudi nĩambatĩtie ithandũkũ rĩa Ngai kuuma Kiriathu-Jearimu akarĩiga harĩa aarĩthondekeire, tondũ nĩarĩambĩire hema kũu Jerusalemu.
But David had brought the ark of God up from Kiriath Jearim to the place that David had prepared for it; for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem.
5 No kĩgongona gĩa gĩcango kĩrĩa gĩathondeketwo nĩ Bezaleli mũrũ wa Uri, mũrũ wa Huru, kĩarĩ Gibeoni mbere ya hema ĩrĩa nyamũre ya Jehova; nĩ ũndũ ũcio Solomoni na kĩũngano kĩu magĩthiĩ hau gũtuĩria ũhoro kuuma kũrĩ Jehova.
Moreover the bronze altar, that Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, was there before the tabernacle of the LORD: and Solomon and the assembly were seeking counsel there.
6 Solomoni akĩambata kĩgongona-inĩ kĩu gĩa gĩcango o hau mbere ya Jehova thĩinĩ wa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo, na akĩrutĩra hau igũrũ wakĩo magongona ngiri ĩmwe ma njino.
Solomon went up there to the bronze altar before the LORD, which was at the Tent of Meeting, and offered one thousand burnt offerings on it.
7 Ũtukũ o ro ũcio-rĩ, Ngai akiumĩrĩra Solomoni, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Hooya kĩrĩa gĩothe ũkwenda ngũhe.”
In that night God appeared to Solomon, and said to him, "Ask what I shall give you."
8 Solomoni agĩcookeria Ngai atĩrĩ, “Nĩwekĩire baba Daudi maũndũ manene ma ũtugi na nĩũnduĩte mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
Solomon said to God, "You have shown great loving kindness to David my father, and have made me king in his place.
9 Na rĩrĩ, Wee Jehova Ngai, reke ũrĩa werĩire baba Daudi ũhinge, nĩgũkorwo nĩũnduĩte mũthamaki wa andũ aingĩ o ta rũkũngũ rwa thĩ.
Now, LORD God, let your promise to David my father be established; for you have made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude.
10 He ũũgĩ na ũmenyo, nĩguo ndongoragie andũ aya, nĩ ũndũ-rĩ, nũũ ũngĩhota gwatha andũ aya aku aingĩ ũũ?”
Now give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people; for who can judge this your people, that is so great?"
11 Ngai akĩĩra Solomoni atĩrĩ, “Kuona atĩ ũndũ ũyũ nĩguo wendi wa ngoro yaku na ndũnahooya ũtonga, kana kũgĩa indo nyingĩ o na kana gĩtĩĩo, kana gĩkuũ gĩa thũ ciaku, na kuona atĩ ndũnahooya ũtũũre muoyo matukũ maingĩ, no wahooya ũũgĩ na ũmenyo wa gwathaga andũ akwa arĩa ngũtuĩte mũthamaki wao-rĩ,
God said to Solomon, "Because this was in your heart, and you have not asked riches, wealth, or honor, nor the life of those who hate you, neither yet have asked long life; but have asked wisdom and knowledge for yourself, that you may judge my people, over whom I have made you king:
12 nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩũkũheo ũũgĩ na ũmenyo. O na ningĩ nĩngũkũhe ũtonga, na indo nyingĩ o na gĩtĩĩo, iria itarĩ mũthamaki ũrĩ wakorwo nacio mbere ĩyo, na gũtarĩ mũthamaki ũkaagĩa nacio thuutha waku.”
wisdom and knowledge is granted to you. I will give you riches, wealth, and honor, such as none of the kings have had who have been before you; neither shall there any after you have the like."
13 Ningĩ Solomoni agĩthiĩ Jerusalemu oimĩte handũ harĩa hatũũgĩru kũu Gibeoni hau mbere ya Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo. Nake agĩthamakĩra Isiraeli.
So Solomon came from the high place that was at Gibeon, from before the Tent of Meeting, to Jerusalem; and he reigned over Israel.
14 Solomoni nĩacookanĩrĩirie ngaari cia ita na mbarathi; aarĩ na ngaari cia ita 1,400 na mbarathi 12,000 iria aigĩte matũũra-inĩ manene ma ngaari cia ita, na akaiga iria ingĩ hakuhĩ nake kũu Jerusalemu.
Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen: and he had one thousand four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, that he placed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
15 Mũthamaki nĩatũmire betha na thahabu cingĩhe Jerusalemu o ta mahiga, mĩtarakwa nayo yarĩ mĩingĩ o ta mĩkũyũ ĩrĩa ĩrĩ magũrũ-inĩ ma irĩma.
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.
16 Mbarathi cia Solomoni cioimaga Misiri na kuuma Kilikia, nao onjorithia a mũthamaki maacigũraga kuuma Kilikia.
The horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt and from Kue; the king's merchants purchased them from Kue.
17 Maagũraga ngaari ĩmwe ya ita kuuma Misiri cekeri 600 cia betha, nayo mbarathi ĩmwe ĩkoima cekeri 150. Ningĩ nĩmacookaga magacitwara ikenderio athamaki othe a Ahiti na a Suriata.
They brought up and brought out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred pieces of silver, and a horse for one hundred fifty: and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of Aram, they brought them out by their means.
