1 Solomon, wen natul Tokosra David, el leumi tokosrai Israel ke ku, ac LEUM GOD El akinsewowoyal ac arulana akkeyal.
Solomon, son of David, strengthened his hold over the kingdom, and the Lord God was with him and made him extremely powerful.
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,
Solomon sent for all the Israelite leaders, to the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, to the judges, and to every family leader.
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.
Solomon went with the whole assembly to the high place at Gibeon, for this was the site of God's Tent of Meeting that Moses, the Lord's servant, had 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.)
David had brought up the Ark of God from Kiriath-jearim to the place in Jerusalem where he had set up a tent for it.
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.
However, the bronze altar made by Bezalel, son of Uri, son of Hur, was there in front of the Tent of the Lord, so that is where Solomon and the assembly went to worship.
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.
Solomon went up to the bronze altar before the Lord, in front of the Tent of Meeting. There he presented one thousand burnt offerings.
7 In fong sac God el sikyak nu sel Solomon ac siyuk, “Mea kom lungse nga in sot nu sum?”
That night God appeared to Solomon and told him, “Ask what you want me to give 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.
Solomon responded to God, “You showed trustworthy love without limit to my father David, and you have made me 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.
Lord God, please keep the promise you made to my father David. You have made me king over a nation that has as many people 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?”
Please give me wisdom and knowledge to lead this people—for who can rule with justice this great people of yours?”
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.
God told Solomon: “Because this is what you really wanted, and you didn't ask for wealth, possessions, or honor, or the death of those who hate you, or for a long life, but instead you asked for wisdom and knowledge so you can rule with justice my people that I have made you king over;
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 is given to you. I will give you wealth, possessions, and honor as well, much more than any king who came before you has had, or who comes after you will ever have.”
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 returned to Jerusalem from the Tent of Meeting in Gibeon, and he ruled 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.
Solomon built up an army of chariots and horses. He had 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horses, which he placed in the chariot cities, and also with him 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.
The king made silver and gold as plentiful in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar wood as plentiful as sycamore-figs trees in the foothills.
16 Mwet kulansap fulat lun tokosra pa nununku pisen horse ma tuku Musri ac Cilicia me,
Solomon imported horses for himself from Egypt and Kue; the king's traders bought them in Kue.
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 chariot could be imported from Egypt for six hundred silver shekels, and a horse for a hundred and fifty. In the same way they exported them to all the Hittite kings and the Aramean kings.
