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.
And Solomon, son of David, strengthened himself over his kingdom, —and, Yahweh, his God, was with him, and made him surpassingly great.
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.
And Solomon gave word to all Israel—to the rulers of thousands, and hundreds, and to the judges, and to all the leaders of all Israel, ancestral chiefs;
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.
and Solomon, and all the convocation with him, went to the high place that was in Gibeon, —for, there, was the tent of meeting of God, which Moses the servant of Yahweh made in the desert.
4 Na rĩrĩ, Daudi nĩambatĩtie ithandũkũ rĩa Ngai kuuma Kiriathu-Jearimu akarĩiga harĩa aarĩthondekeire, tondũ nĩarĩambĩire hema kũu Jerusalemu.
Howbeit, the ark of God, had David brought up from Kiriath-jearim, into the place that David had prepared for it, —for he had pitched for it a tent, in 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.
Also, the altar of bronze that Bezalel son of Uri son of Hur had made, was there before the habitation of Yahweh, —so Solomon and the convocation sought it.
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.
And Solomon went up thither, unto the altar of bronze before Yahweh, which belonged to the tent of meeting, —and caused to go up thereon a thousand ascending-sacrifices.
7 Ũtukũ o ro ũcio-rĩ, Ngai akiumĩrĩra Solomoni, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Hooya kĩrĩa gĩothe ũkwenda ngũhe.”
During that night, God appeared unto Solomon, —and said unto him, Ask what I shall give thee.
8 Solomoni agĩcookeria Ngai atĩrĩ, “Nĩwekĩire baba Daudi maũndũ manene ma ũtugi na nĩũnduĩte mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
And Solomon said unto God, Thou thyself, didst deal with David my father in great lovingkindness, —and hast made me king in his stead.
9 Na rĩrĩ, Wee Jehova Ngai, reke ũrĩa werĩire baba Daudi ũhinge, nĩgũkorwo nĩũnduĩte mũthamaki wa andũ aingĩ o ta rũkũngũ rwa thĩ.
Now, O Yahweh Elohim, let thy word with David my father be brought to pass, -for, thou, hast made me king over a people, for multitude like the dust of the earth.
10 He ũũgĩ na ũmenyo, nĩguo ndongoragie andũ aya, nĩ ũndũ-rĩ, nũũ ũngĩhota gwatha andũ aya aku aingĩ ũũ?”
Now, wisdom and knowledge, give thou unto me, that I may go out before this people, and may come in, —for who can judge this thy 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,
And God said unto Solomon, Because this was near thy heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honour, or the life of them that hate thee, nor even, many days, hast thou asked, —but hast asked for thyself, wisdom and knowledge, that thou mayest judge my people, over whom I have made thee 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, are granted unto thee, —moreover, riches and wealth and honour, will I give thee, such as the kings who were before thee did not possess, neither shall they who come after thee possess the like.
13 Ningĩ Solomoni agĩthiĩ Jerusalemu oimĩte handũ harĩa hatũũgĩru kũu Gibeoni hau mbere ya Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo. Nake agĩthamakĩra Isiraeli.
And Solomon came from the high place that was in Gibeon unto Jerusalem, from before the tent of meeting, —and 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.
And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen, and came to have a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, —and he settled them in chariot cities, and with the king, in 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.
And the king made silver and gold in Jerusalem, like stones, and, cedars, made he like the sycomores that are in the lowland, for abundance.
16 Mbarathi cia Solomoni cioimaga Misiri na kuuma Kilikia, nao onjorithia a mũthamaki maacigũraga kuuma Kilikia.
And the horses which Solomon had were, an export, out of Egypt, —and a, company of royal merchants, used to fetch a drove, at a price;
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.
and they built and brought forth 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 Syria, by their means, brought they them forth.
