2 Tantara 1
1 Ary Solomona, zanak’ i Davida, dia nitombo hery tamin’ ny fanjakany, ary Jehovah Andriamaniny nomba azy ka nanandratra azy indrindra.
Solomon son of David was strengthened in his rule, and Yahweh his God was with him and made him very powerful.
2 Ary Solomona nandidy Isiraely rehetra, dia mpifehy arivo sy mpifehy zato sy mpitsara ary loham-pirenena rehetra tamin’ ny Isiraely, dia lohan’ ny fianakaviana,
Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to every prince in all Israel, the heads of the fathers' houses.
3 ka dia niara-niakatra ho any amin’ ny fitoerana avo tao Gibeona Solomona sy fiangonana rehetra; fa tao trano-lay fihaonana izay an’ Andriamanitra, ilay nataon’ i Mosesy, mpanompon’ i Jehovah, tany an-efitra.
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 Yahweh, had made in the wilderness.
4 Fa fiaran’ Andriamanitra efa nampakarin’ i Davida avy ta Kiriata-jearima ho ao amin’ izay efa namboariny ho azy; fa efa nanorina lay ho azy tany Jerosalema izy.
But David had brought up the ark of God from Kiriath Jearim to the place that he had prepared for it, for he had pitched a tent for it in Jerusalem.
5 Ary alitara varahina izay nataon’ i Bezalila, zanak’ i Ory zanak’ i Hora, dia teo anoloan’ ny tabernakelin’ i Jehovah; ary Solomona sy fiangonana nitady Azy tao.
In addition, the bronze altar made by Bezalel son of Uri son of Hur was there before the tabernacle of Yahweh; Solomon and the assembly went to it.
6 Ary Solomona nanatitra fanatitra teo amin’ ny alitara varahina teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah, izay momba ny trano-lay fihaonana; fanatitra dorana arivo no nateriny teo.
Solomon went up there to the bronze altar before Yahweh, which was at the tent of meeting, and offered one thousand burnt offerings on it.
7 Tamin’ ny alin’ iny no nisehoan’ Andriamanitra tamin’ i Solomona, ka hoy Izy taminy: Angataho izay tianao homeko anao.
God appeared to Solomon that night and said to him, “Ask! What should I give you?”
8 Dia hoy Solomona tamin’ Andriamanitra: Hianao efa naneho fahasoavana lehibe tamin’ i Davida raiko ary nampanjaka ahy handimby azy.
Solomon said to God, “You have shown great covenant faithfulness to David my father, and have made me king in his place.
9 Koa ankehitriny, ry Jehovah Andriamanitra ô, aoka ho tanteraka teninao tamin’ i Davida raiko; fa Hianao efa nampanjaka ahy tamin’ ny vahoaka maro be tahaka ny vovo-tany.
Now, Yahweh God, let your promise to David my father be carried out, for you have made me king over a people as numerous as the dust of the earth.
10 Koa omeo fahendrena sy fahalalana aho hitarihako ireto vahoaka ireto mivoaka sy miditra; fa iza no hahay mitsara izao olonao betsaka izao?
Now give me wisdom and knowledge, so that I may lead this people, for who can judge your people, who are so many in number?”
11 Dia hoy Andriamanitra tamin’ i Solomona: Satria tao am-ponao izany ka tsy nangataka vola aman-karena ianao, na voninahitra, na ain’ ny fahavalonao, ary tsy nangataka ho ela velona aza, fa nangataka fahendrena sy fahalalana hitsaranao ny oloko izay nampanjakako anao,
God said to Solomon, “Because this was in your heart, and because you have not asked for riches, wealth, or honor, nor for the life of those who hate you, nor for long life for yourself, but you have asked for wisdom and knowledge for yourself, so that you might rule my people, over whom I have made you king, and this is what I will do.
12 dia omena anao ny fahendrena sy fahalalana; ary homeko vola aman-karena sy voninahitra koa ianao, mihoatra noho izay nananan’ ny mpanjaka rehetra na iza na iza tany alohanao, ary tsy hisy hanana tahaka izany ny any aorianao.
I will now give you wisdom and knowledge. I will also give you riches, wealth, and honor, as none of the kings had before you, and none after you will have.”
13 Ary tonga tany Jerosalema Solomona avy teo amin’ ny fitoerana avo tao Gibeona, dia teo anoloan’ ny trano-lay fihaonana; ary nanjaka tamin’ ny Isiraely izy.
So Solomon came to Jerusalem from the high place that was at Gibeon, from before the tent of meeting; he reigned over Israel.
14 Ary Solomona nanangona kalesy sy mpitaingin-tsoavaly ka nanana kalesy efa-jato amby arivo sy mpitaingin-tsoavaly roa arivo sy iray alina, izay nataony tany amin’ ireny tanàna fitoeran’ ny kalesy ary tao amin’ ny mpanjaka tany Jerosalema.
Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen, and he had 1,400 chariots and twelve thousand horsemen that he placed in the chariot cities, and with himself, the king in Jerusalem.
15 Ary nataon’ ny mpanjaka ho tahaka ny vato ny habetsaky ny volafotsy sy ny volamena tany Jerosalema, ary ny hazo sedera nataony toy ny aviavy eny amin’ ny tany lemaka amoron-tsiraka.
The king made silver and gold as common in Jerusalem as the stones, and he made cedar wood as common as the sycamore trees that are in the lowlands.
16 Avy tany Egypta no nahazoan’ i Solomona soavaly; ary ny iray toko tamin’ ny mpandranton’ ny mpanjaka dia naka andiany iray araka izay vidiny voatendry.
As for the importation of horses from Egypt and Kue for Solomon, his merchants bought them from Kue at a price.
17 Ary ny vidin’ ny kalesy iray nentiny niakatra avy tany Egypta dia sekely volafotsy enin-jato, ary ny soavaly dia dimam-polo amby zato avy; ary toy izany koa no nitondrany ho an’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Hetita sy ny mpanjakan’ ny Syriana.
They imported a chariot from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for 150 shekels. They also exported them to the kings of the Hittites and the Arameans.
