Luo Chronicle 1

1 Solomon, wen natul Tokosra David, el leumi tokosrai Israel ke ku, ac LEUM GOD El akinsewowoyal ac arulana akkeyal.

Then Solomon, the son of David, was strengthened in his reign, and the Lord his God was with him, and he magnified him on high.

2 Tokosra Solomon el supwalik kas nu sin mwet fulat su kol fin tausin, fin foko, oayapa mwet kol nukewa lun government, sifen sou nukewa, ac mwet nukewa saya,

And Solomon instructed the whole of Israel, the tribunes, and the centurions, and the rulers, and the judges over all of Israel, and the leaders of the families.

3 ac sap tuh elos nukewa in welul som nu in nien alu in acn Gibeon. Elos som nu we mweyen Lohm Nuknuk Mutal sin LEUM GOD oan we, ma Moses mwet kulansap lun LEUM GOD, el tuh orala yen mwesis.

And he went away with the entire multitude to the high place of Gibeon, where the tabernacle of the covenant of the Lord was, which Moses, the servant of God, made in the wilderness.

4 (Tusruktu Tuptup in Wuleang oan Jerusalem, in sie lohm nuknuk ma Tokosra David el tuh tulokunak ke pacl se el use Tuptup sac liki acn Kiriath Jearim.)

For David had brought the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim, to the place that he had prepared for it, and where he had pitched a tabernacle for it, that is, in Jerusalem.

5 Loang se orekla ke osra bronze ma orekla sel Bezalel, wen natul Uri wen natul Hur, oan pac in acn Gibeon, ke mutun Lohm Nuknuk Mutal sin LEUM GOD. Tokosra Solomon ac mwet nukewa elos alu nu sin LEUM GOD we.

Also, the altar of brass, which Bezalel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had constructed, was there before the tabernacle of the Lord. And so Solomon sought it, with the entire assembly.

6 In acn sac, tokosra el alu nu sin LEUM GOD ac kisakin mwe kisa lal fin loang bronze sac. Oasr sie tausin kosro anwuki ac kisakinyuk fac.

And Solomon ascended to the bronze altar, before the tabernacle of the covenant of the Lord, and he offered upon it one thousand victims.

7 In fong sac God el sikyak nu sel Solomon ac siyuk, “Mea kom lungse nga in sot nu sum?”

But behold, during that night God appeared to him, saying, “Request what you wish, so that I may give it to you.”

8 Solomon el fahk, “Kom tuh akkalemye lung lulap lom nu sel David papa tumuk pacl nukewa, ac inge kom oru tuh nga in aolul in tokosra.

And Solomon said to God: “You have shown great mercy to my father David. And you have appointed me as king in his place.

9 O LEUM GOD, akpwayeye wulela se kom tuh orala nu sin papa tumuk. Kom orala nga in tokosra fin mwet puspis su tia ku in oekyukla.

Now therefore, O Lord God, let your word be fulfilled, which you promised to my father David. For you have made me king over your great people, who are as innumerable as the dust of the earth.

10 Ke ma inge ase nu sik lalmwetmet ac etauk, su nga enenu in sang kololos. Kom fin tia oru ouinge, nga ac kol fuka mutunfacl lulap se lom inge?”

Give to me wisdom and understanding, so that I may enter and depart before your people. For who is able worthily to judge this, your people, who are so great?”

11 God El topuk nu sel Solomon, “Suwohs sulela lom an. Kom tia siyuk ke mwe kasrup ku ma saok, ku ke pwengpeng, ku in anwuki mwet lokoalok lom, ku ke moul loeloes lom sifacna. A kom siyuk ke lalmwetmet ac etauk, tuh kom in ku in sang kol mwet luk su nga oru kom in tokosra faclos.

Then God said to Solomon: “Since this is the choice that pleased your heart, and you did not request wealth and substance and glory, nor the lives of those who hate you, nor even many days of life, since instead you requested wisdom and knowledge so that you may be able to judge my people, over whom I have appointed you as king:

12 Nga ac fah sot nu sum lalmwetmet ac etauk. Ac sayen ma inge, nga fah sot mwe kasrup, ma saok, ac pwengpeng tuh in yohk liki na tokosra nukewa su meet liki kom, ku su ac fah tuku tukum.”

wisdom and knowledge are granted to you. And I will give to you wealth and substance and glory, so that none of the kings either before you or after you will be similar to you.”

13 Ouinge Solomon el som liki nien alu sac in acn Gibeon, yen Lohm Nuknuk Mutal sin LEUM GOD oan we, ac folokla nu Jerusalem. Acn se inge pa nien muta lal Solomon ke el tokosra fin mwet Israel.

Then Solomon went from the high place of Gibeon to Jerusalem, before the tabernacle of the covenant, and he reigned over Israel.

14 El akpusye chariot lal ke sie tausin angfoko, ac pisen horse ke singoul uo tausin nu sin mwet mweun lal. Kutu sin ma inge el filiya in oan Jerusalem, ac ma saya el supwala in oan ke siti saya.

And he gathered to himself chariots and horsemen. And they brought to him one thousand four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen. And he caused them to be in the cities of the chariots, and with the king in Jerusalem.

15 In pacl se ke el tokosra ah, mwet Jerusalem elos pangon silver ac gold ma pilasr oana eot, ac sak cedar su wangin suna we meet, inge arulana pukanten oana sak sycamore su kap pe eol in acn Judah.

And the king offered silver and gold in Jerusalem as if they were stones, and cedar trees as if they were sycamores, which grow in the plains in a great multitude.

16 Mwet kulansap fulat lun tokosra pa nununku pisen horse ma tuku Musri ac Cilicia me,

Then horses were brought to him from Egypt and from Kue, by the negotiators of the king, who went and bought for a price:

17 ac oayapa pisen chariot ma tuku Egypt me. Elos kitala horse ac chariot nu sin tokosra lun mwet Hit ac tokosra lun acn Syria. Molin chariot se pa ipin silver onfoko, ac molin horse soko pa ipin silver siofok lumngaul.

a four-horse chariot for six hundred pieces of silver, and a horse for one hundred fifty. A similar offer to purchase was made known among all the kingdoms of the Hittites, and among the kings of Syria.
