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 the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and the LORD his God was with him, and magnified him exceedingly.
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 captains of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to every prince in all Israel, the heads of the ancestral 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 the LORD 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 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 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.
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 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 the LORD, 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.
In that night God appeared to Solomon, and said to him, "Ask what I shall 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 loving kindness 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, 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 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, that I may go out and come in before this people; for who can judge this your people, that is so great?"
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 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 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.
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 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 from the high place that was at Gibeon, from before the Tent of Meeting, to Jerusalem; and 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 one thousand four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, that he placed in the chariot cities, and with the king at 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 to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he to be as the sycamore trees that are in the lowland, for abundance.
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.
The horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt and from Kue; the king's merchants purchased them from Kue.
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 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.
