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, son of David, strengthened himself over his kingdom, —and, Yahweh, his God, was with him, and made him surpassingly great.
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 word to all Israel—to the rulers of thousands, and hundreds, and to the judges, and to all the leaders of all Israel, ancestral chiefs;
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 all the convocation with him, went to the high place that was in Gibeon, —for, there, was the tent of meeting of God, which Moses the servant of Yahweh made in the desert.
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.)
Howbeit, the ark of God, had David brought up from Kiriath-jearim, into the place that David had prepared for it, —for he had pitched for it a tent, 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.
Also, the altar of bronze that Bezalel son of Uri son of Hur had made, was there before the habitation of Yahweh, —so Solomon and the convocation 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, unto the altar of bronze before Yahweh, which belonged to the tent of meeting, —and caused to go up thereon a thousand ascending-sacrifices.
7 Niheo amy Selomò amy haleñey t’i Andrianañahare, nanao ty hoe: Ihalalio le hatoloko azo.
During that night, God appeared unto Solomon, —and said unto him, Ask what I shall 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 unto God, Thou thyself, didst deal with David my father in great lovingkindness, —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, O Yahweh Elohim, let thy word with David my father be brought to pass, -for, thou, hast made me king over a people, for multitude like 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, wisdom and knowledge, give thou unto me, that I may go out before this people, and may come in, —for who can judge this thy people, that 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 unto Solomon, Because this was near thy heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honour, or the life of them that hate thee, nor even, many days, hast thou asked, —but hast asked for thyself, wisdom and knowledge, that thou mayest judge my people, over whom 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 unto thee, —moreover, riches and wealth and honour, will I give thee, such as the kings who were before thee did not possess, neither shall they who come after thee possess the like.
13 Aa le nimpoly boak’ an-toets’ abo e Gibone eo t’i Selomò, hirik’ aolo’ i kibohom-pamantañañey, pake Ierosa­laime vaho nifehe Israele.
And Solomon came from the high place that was in Gibeon unto Jerusalem, from before the tent of meeting, —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 Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen, and came to have a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, —and he settled them in chariot cities, 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 in Jerusalem, like stones, and, cedars, made he like the sycomores that are in the lowland, for abundance.
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 the horses which Solomon had were, an export, out of Egypt, —and a, company of royal merchants, used to fetch a drove, 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.
and they built and brought forth out of Egypt a chariot, for six hundred [shekels] of silver, and a horse, for a hundred and fifty, -and, so, for all the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Syria, by their means, brought they them forth.
