2 Tantara 1
1 Nampaozareñe am-pifehea’e ao t’i Selomò ana’ i Davide naho nañimb’ aze vaho nampitoabotse ty enge’e t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’e.
Now Solomon son of David established himself securely over his kingdom, and the LORD his God was with him and highly exalted him.
2 Le nisaontsy am’ Israele iaby t’i Selomò, amo mpifelek’ arivo naho zatoo naho amo mpizakao vaho amo mpiaolo’ Israeleo, o talèn-droae’eo.
Then Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, to the judges, and to every leader in all Israel—the heads of the families.
3 Aa le nimb’ amy toets’ abo’ i Giboney mb’eo t’i Selomò rekets’ i valobohòkey amy te añe ty toe’ i kibohom-pamantañan’ Añahare niranjie’ i Mosè mpitoro’ Iehovà an-dratraratray.
And Solomon and the whole assembly went to the high place at Gibeon because it was the location of God’s Tent of Meeting, which Moses the servant of the LORD had made in the wilderness.
4 Fe nampionjone’ i Davide boake Kiriate-jearime i vatan’ Añaharey mb’amy toetse hinajari’ i Davide ho azey, ie fa nampitroare’e kivoho e Ierosalaime ao.)
Now David had brought the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim to the place he had prepared for it, because he had pitched a tent for it in Jerusalem.
5 Amy te añatrefa’ i kivoho’ Iehovày i kitrely torisike niranjie’ i Bazalile ana’ i Orý, ana’ i Horey; le Izay ty pinai’ i Selomò naho i valobohòkey.
But the bronze altar made by Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, was in Gibeon before the tabernacle of the LORD. So Solomon and the assembly inquired of Him there.
6 Aa le nionjom-b’amy kitrely torisìkey t’i Selomò, añatrefa’ Iehovà, mb’amy kibohom-pamantañañey mb’eo vaho nañenga soroñe arivo ama’e.
Solomon offered sacrifices there before the LORD on the bronze altar in the Tent of Meeting, where he offered a thousand burnt offerings.
7 Niheo amy Selomò amy haleñey t’i Andrianañahare, nanao ty hoe: Ihalalio le hatoloko azo.
That night God appeared to Solomon and said, “Ask, and I will give it to you!”
8 Le hoe t’i Selomò aman’ Añahare: Fa tinoro’o fañisohañe ra’elahy t’i Davide raeko vaho nanoe’o mpanjaka iraho handimbe aze.
Solomon replied to God: “You have shown much loving devotion to my father David, and You have made me king in his place.
9 Ie amy zao ry Iehovà Andrianañahare, ehe ajadoño i nitsarae’o amy Davide raekoy; fa nanoe’o mpanjaka hifehe ondaty mira ami’ty hamaro’ ty deboke an-tane atoio iraho.
Now, O LORD God, let Your promise to my father David be fulfilled. For You have made me king over a people as numerous as the dust of the earth.
10 Ehe toloro hihitse naho hilala henaneo, hiakarako naho himoahako añatrefa’ ondaty retoañe; amy te ia ty hahafizaka ondati’o mitozantozañeo?
Now grant me wisdom and knowledge, so that I may lead this people. For who is able to govern this great people of Yours?”
11 Le hoe t’i Andrianañahare amy Selomò: Aa kanao izay ty añ’ arofo’o ao ie tsy nihalalia’o vara, ndra hareañe, ndra asiñe, ndra ty fiaim-palaiñ’ azo vaho tsy nihalalia’o andro maro, te mone hihitse naho hilala ty nihalalia’o, hahafizakà’o ondatiko nanoeko azo mpanjakao;
God said to Solomon, “Since this was in your heart instead of requesting riches or wealth or glory for yourself or death for your enemies—and since you have not even requested long life but have asked for wisdom and knowledge to govern My people over whom I have made you king—
12 le hatoloko azo ty hihitse naho hilala, mbore hitolorako vara naho hareañe naho asiñe, manahake ze mbe tsy amo mpanjaka taolo’oo vaho tsy hañirinkiriña’ o hanonjohio.
therefore wisdom and knowledge have been granted to you. And I will also give you riches and wealth and honor unlike anything given to the kings before you or after you.”
13 Aa le nimpoly boak’ an-toets’ abo e Gibone eo t’i Selomò, hirik’ aolo’ i kibohom-pamantañañey, pake Ierosalaime vaho nifehe Israele.
So Solomon went to Jerusalem from the high place in Gibeon before the Tent of Meeting, and he reigned over Israel.
14 Nanontoñe sarete naho mpiningi-tsoavala t’i Selomò; le nanan-tsarete arivo-tsi-efajato naho mpiningi-tsoavala rai-ale-tsi-ro’ arivo, ze natobe’e amo rovan-tsareteo naho amy mpanjakay e Ierosalaime ao.
Solomon accumulated 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horses, which he stationed in the chariot cities and also with him in Jerusalem.
15 Nampirae’ i mpanjakay amo vatoo ty volamena naho ty volafoty e Ierosalaime ao, le nampirae’e amo sakoañe am-bavataneo o mendoraveñeo ami’ty hamaro’e.
The king made silver and gold as common in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar as abundant as sycamore in the foothills.
16 Le nendese’ i Selomò boake Mitsraime naho boake Keve añe o soavalao; o mpanao bali’ i mpanjakaio ty nivily iereo amo nte-Keveo ami’ty vili’e.
Solomon’s horses were imported from Egypt and Kue; the royal merchants purchased them from Kue.
17 Tinoha’ iereo e Mitsraime añe an-tsekele volafoty enenjato ty sarete naho zato-tsi-limampolo ty soavala; le amy vily zay ka ty nañondroñañe irezay mb’amo mpanjaka’ o nte-Keteoo naho o mpanjaka’ i Arameo.
A chariot could be imported from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty. Likewise, they exported them to all the kings of the Hittites and to the kings of Aram.
