1 U A paa ia Solomona, ke keiki a Davida, kona aupuni, a me ia pu o Iehova kona Akua, a hookiekie nui mai la ia ia.
Now Solomon son of David established himself securely over his kingdom, and the LORD his God was with him and highly exalted him.
2 Olelo aku la o Solomona i ka Iseraela a pau, i na luna o na tausani a me ko na haneri, a me na lunakanawai, a me kela luna keia luna o ka Iseraela a pau, ka poe koikoi o na makua.
Then Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, to the judges, and to every leader in all Israel—the heads of the families.
3 A hele aku la o Solomona, a me ia pu ka ahakanaka a pau, i kahi kiekie, aia no ma Gibeona; no ka mea, malaila no ka halelewa o ke anainakanaka o ke Akua, ka mea a Mose ke kauwa a Iehova i hana'i ma ka waonahele.
And Solomon and the whole assembly went to the high place at Gibeon because it was the location of God’s Tent of Meeting, which Moses the servant of the LORD had made in the wilderness.
4 Aka, o ka pahu berita o ke Akua, ua lawe mai o Davida mai Kiriataiearima aku, i kahi ana i kukulu ai no ia mea; no ka mea, ua kukulu no ia i halelewa no ia mea ma Ierusalema.
Now David had brought the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim to the place he had prepared for it, because he had pitched a tent for it in Jerusalem.
5 A o ke kuahu keleawe ka mea a Bezaleela ke keiki a Uri, ke keiki a Hura, i hana'i, malaila ia imua o ka noho o Iehova. A imi pinepine o Solomona a me ke anainakanaka ilaila.
But the bronze altar made by Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, was in Gibeon before the tabernacle of the LORD. So Solomon and the assembly inquired of Him there.
6 A mohai aku la o Solomona malaila maluna o ke kuahu keleawe imua o Iehova, aia ma ka halelewa o ke anainakanaka. A mohai aku la oi'a maluna olaila, i na mohaikuni hookahi tausani.
Solomon offered sacrifices there before the LORD on the bronze altar in the Tent of Meeting, where he offered a thousand burnt offerings.
7 Ia po no ikea mai la ke Akua e Solomona, olelo mai ia ia, E noi mai oe i ka mea a'u e haawi aku ai ia oe.
That night God appeared to Solomon and said, “Ask, and I will give it to you!”
8 I aku la o Solomona i ke Akua, Ua hoike mai oe i ke aloha nui ia Davida i ko'u makuakane, a hoalii oe ia'u mahope ona.
Solomon replied to God: “You have shown much loving devotion to my father David, and You have made me king in his place.
9 Ano hoi, e Iehova, e ke Akua e, e hooko mai i ka olelo au i olelo mai ai ia Davida, i ko'u makuakane; no ka mea, nau no i hoalii mai ia'u maluna o ka poe kanaka i like ka nui me na huna lepo o ka honua.
Now, O LORD God, let Your promise to my father David be fulfilled. For You have made me king over a people as numerous as the dust of the earth.
10 Ano, e haawi mai ia'u i ka naauao, a me ke akamai i puka aku au iwaho imua o keia lahuikanaka, a komo mai no hoi, no ka mea, ia wai la e hiki ai ke malama i keia poe kanaka nui ou?
Now grant me wisdom and knowledge, so that I may lead this people. For who is able to govern this great people of Yours?”
11 Olelo mai la ke Akua ia Solomona, No ka mea, aia no ma kou naau keia, aole oe i noi mai i ka waiwai a me ka hanohano, a me ka make ana o kou poe enemi, aole no hoi oe i noi mai i na la he nui loa; aka, ua noi mai oe nou i ka naauao, a me ke akamai, i hiki ia oe ke hoomalu i ko'u poe kanaka maluna o lakou i hoalii aku ai au ia oe;
God said to Solomon, “Since this was in your heart instead of requesting riches or wealth or glory for yourself or death for your enemies—and since you have not even requested long life but have asked for wisdom and knowledge to govern My people over whom I have made you king—
12 Nolaila, ua haawiia ia oe ka naauao, a me ke akamai, a e haawi aku no hoi au ia oe i ka waiwai, a me ka hanohano: aole pela kekahi o na'lii mamua, aole no hoi he mea like mamuli aku.
therefore wisdom and knowledge have been granted to you. And I will also give you riches and wealth and honor unlike anything given to the kings before you or after you.”
13 Hele mai la o Solomona mai kahi kiekio mai, ma Gibeona, a hiki i Ierusalema, maimua mai o ka halelewa o ke anainakanaka, a noho alii iho la ia maluna o ka Iseraela.
So Solomon went to Jerusalem from the high place in Gibeon before the Tent of Meeting, and he reigned over Israel.
14 A houluulu o Solomona i na kaa, a me na hooholo lio; aia no ia ia na kaa hookahi tausani, a me na haneri eha, a me na hooholo lio he umikumamalua tausani. A waiho oia ia mau mea ma na kulanakauhale no na kaa, a ma kahi o ke alii ma Ierusalema.
Solomon accumulated 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horses, which he stationed in the chariot cities and also with him in Jerusalem.
15 A hoolilo ae la ke alii i ke kala a me ke gula ma Ierusalema e like me na pohaku; i kona imi ana no hoi, nui iho la na laau kedera e like me na laau sukomorea ma ke awawa.
The king made silver and gold as common in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar as abundant as sycamore in the foothills.
16 A ua kaiia mai na lio no Solomona mai Aigupita mai, a na na huakai kalepa a ke alii i lawe ma ke kumukuai.
Solomon’s horses were imported from Egypt and Kue; the royal merchants purchased them from Kue.
17 A kii aku la lakou a kai mai, mai Aigupita mai, i ke kaa hookahi, no na haneri sekela kala eono, a i ka lio no ka haneri me kanalima. A pela no lakou i lawe mai ai no na'lii a pau o ka Heta, a me na'lii o Suria ma ko lakou lima.
A chariot could be imported from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty. Likewise, they exported them to all the kings of the Hittites and to the kings of Aram.
