2 Ihe E Mere 1
1 Solomọn nwa Devid mere onwe ya ka o guzosie ike nʼalaeze ya, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị Chineke ya nọnyeere ya, meekwa ka ọ dị ukwuu hie nne.
Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and the LORD his God was with him, and magnified him exceedingly.
2 Mgbe ahụ, Solomọn gwara ndị Izrel niile okwu, ya bụ, ndịisi agha na-achị ọtụtụ puku ndị agha, na ndịisi agha na-achị ọtụtụ narị ndị agha, na ndị ikpe, na ndị ndu niile nọ nʼIzrel, na ndịisi ezinaụlọ niile.
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 ancestral houses.
3 Solomọn ya na ọgbakọ ahụ niile, gara nʼebe dị elu nke Gibiọn, nʼihi nʼebe ahụ ka ụlọ nzute Chineke dị, bụ nke Mosis onyeozi Onyenwe anyị wuru nʼọzara.
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 Ma Devid esitelarị na Kiriat Jearim buputa igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Chineke ahụ, bulaa ya nʼụlọ ikwu nke o wuru maka ya na Jerusalem.
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 Ebe ịchụ aja bronz ahụ Bezalel nwa Uri, nwa Hua wuru dịkwa na Gibiọn, nʼihu ụlọ nzute Onyenwe anyị. Solomọn na ọgbakọ ahụ na-ajụta ya ase nʼebe bronz ahụ.
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 Solomọn jere nʼebe ịchụ aja ahụ e ji bronz kpụọ, nke dị nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, nʼime ụlọ nzute, jiri anụ ụlọ ọnụọgụgụ ha dị otu puku chụọ aja nsure ọkụ nʼelu ya.
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 Nʼabalị ụbọchị ahụ na Gibiọn, Onyenwe anyị mere ka Solomọn hụ ya anya, sị ya, “Rịọọ ihe ọbụla ị chọrọ ka m nye gị.”
In that night God appeared to Solomon, and said to him, "Ask what I shall give you."
8 Ma Solomọn zara Chineke, sị, “I gosila nna m bụ Devid obi ebere dị ukwuu. Ugbu a, i meekwala m eze nʼọnọdụ ya
Solomon said to God, "You have shown great loving kindness to David my father, and have made me king in his place.
9 Ugbu a, Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke, ka nkwa gị nke i kwere nna m, bụ Devid, bụrụ ihe e mezuru, nʼihi na ị meela m eze ndị a bara ụba nʼọnụọgụgụ dịka aja nke ala.
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 Biko, nye m amamihe na nghọta, nke m ga-eji edu ndị a napụ na-abata, nʼihi na onye pụrụ ịchịkọta ndị gị a dị ukwuu?”
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 Chineke zara Solomọn sị ya, “Ebe ọ bụ na ị rịọghị m ka m nye gị akụnụba, maọbụ ogologo ndụ; ebe ọ bụkwa na ị rịọghị m ka m mee ka ndị kpọrọ gị asị nwụsịa, maọbụ ka m mee ka i nwee nsọpụrụ karịa, kama mkpa na-akpa gị bụ ka m nye gị amamihe na nghọta ị ga-eji duzie ndị m, nke m mere gị eze ha.
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 Ya mere, enyela gị amamihe na nghọta dịka ị rịọrọ. Aga m enyekwa gị akụnụba na nsọpụrụ dị ukwuu, nke eze ọbụla nke buru gị ụzọ na-enwebeghị. Ọ dịkwaghị onye nke ga-eso gị ga-enwe ụdị ya.”
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 Mgbe ahụ, Solomọn sitere nʼebe dị elu nke Gibiọn, site nʼihu ụlọ nzute ahụ, lọghachi na Jerusalem. Ọ chịrị dịka eze nʼIzrel.
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 Solomọn chịkọbara ọtụtụ ụgbọ agha na ịnyịnya dị iche iche. O nwere ụgbọ agha dị otu puku na narị anọ na ịnyịnya agha dị puku iri na abụọ nʼọnụọgụgụ, ndị o debere ụfọdụ nʼime ha nʼobodo ụgbọ agha ya ma ndị ọzọ dị na Jerusalem ebe ya onwe ya nọ.
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 Eze mere ka ọlaọcha na ọlaedo baa ụba na Jerusalem, dịka nkume efu. O mekwara ka osisi sida dị ọtụtụ dịka osisi sikamọ nke dị nʼala ala ugwu dị iche iche
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 A na-esite nʼIjipt nakwa ala Kue atụbatara Solomọn ịnyịnya. Ndị ahịa eze na-azụta ha site na Kue nʼọnụ ahịa a na-ere ha nʼoge ahụ.
The horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt and from Kue; the king's merchants purchased them from Kue.
17 Ha sitere nʼIjipt tụbata otu ụgbọ agha nʼọnụ ahịa narị shekel ọlaọcha isii; jirikwa otu narị shekel na iri shekel ise zụta otu ịnyịnya. Ha zipụkwara ha nye ndị eze niile nke ndị Het na ndị Aram.
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.
