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.
And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and the Lord his God was with him, and magnified him to a high degree.
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.
And Solomon gave orders to all Israel, to the captains of thousands, and of hundreds, and to the rulers, and to the judges of all Israel, and 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 he went with all the multitude to the high place of Gabaon, where was the tabernacle of the covenant of the Lord, which Moses the servant of God 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.)
For David had brought the ark of God from Cariathiarim to the place, which he had prepared for it, and where he had pitched a tabernacle for it, that is, 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.
And the altar of brass, which Beseleel the son of Uri the son of Hur had made, was there before the tabernacle of the Lord: and Solomon and all the assembly sought it:
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.
And Solomon went up thither to the brazen altar, before the tabernacle of the covenant of the Lord, and offered up on it a thousand victims.
7 Niheo amy Selomò amy haleñey t’i Andrianañahare, nanao ty hoe: Ihalalio le hatoloko azo.
And behold that night God appeared to him, saying: Ask what thou wilt that I should give thee.
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.
And Solomon said to God: Thou hast shewn great kindness to my father David: and hast made me king in his stead.
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 therefore, O Lord God, let thy word be fulfilled, which thou hast promised to David my father: for thou hast made me king over thy great people, which is as innumerable 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?
Give me wisdom and knowledge that I may come in and go out before thy people: for who can worthily judge this thy people, which is so great?
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;
And God said to Solomon: Because this choice hath pleased thy heart, and thou hast not asked riches, and wealth, and glory, nor the lives of them that hate thee, nor many days of life: but hast asked wisdom and knowledge, to be able to judge my people, over which I have made thee 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.
Wisdom and knowledge are granted to thee: and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and glory, so that none of the kings before thee, nor after thee, shall be like thee.
13 Aa le nimpoly boak’ an-toets’ abo e Gibone eo t’i Selomò, hirik’ aolo’ i kibohom-pamantañañey, pake Ierosalaime vaho nifehe Israele.
Then Solomon came from the high place of Gabaon to Jerusalem before the tabernacle of the covenant, and 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.
And he gathered to himself chariots and horsemen, and he had a thousand four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen: and he placed them in the cities of the chariots, and with the king 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.
And the king made silver and gold to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar trees as sycamores, which grow in the plains in great multitude.
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.
And there were horses brought him from Egypt, and from Coa by the king’s merchants, who went, and bought at a price,
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 of four horses for six hundred pieces of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty: in like manner market was made in all the kingdoms of the Hethites, and of the kings of Syria.
