2 Seenaa 1
1 Sababii Waaqayyo Waaqni isaa isa wajjin turee fi sababii inni akka malee guddaa isa godheef Solomoon ilmi Daawit jabaatee mootummaa isaa irra bule.
Now Solomon son of David established himself securely over his kingdom, and the LORD his God was with him and highly exalted him.
2 Ergasiis Solomoon Israaʼeloota hundatti, ajajjoota kumaatti, ajajjoota dhibbaatti, abbootii murtiitti, hooggantoota Israaʼel hundattii fi hangafoota abbootiitti dubbate;
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 sababii dunkaanni wal gaʼii kan Waaqaa inni Museen garbichi Waaqayyoo sun gammoojjii keessatti hojjete achi tureef Solomoonii fi yaaʼiin guutuun gara iddoo sagadaa kan gaara irraa kan Gibeʼoon jiru sanaa ni dhaqan.
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 Daawitis taabota Waaqaa Kiriyaati Yeʼaariimii gara iddoo qopheesseef sanaatti ni fide; inni Yerusaalem keessatti dunkaana dhaabeefii tureetii.
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 Garuu iddoon aarsaa kan Bezaliʼeel ilmi Uuri, ilmi Huuri naasii irraa hojjete sun fuula dunkaana qulqulluu Waaqayyoo sanaa dura ture; kanaafuu Solomoonii fi yaaʼiin sun achitti Waaqa kadhatan.
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 Solomoonis gara iddoo aarsaa kan naasii irraa hojjetamee dunkaana wal gaʼii keessa fuula Waaqayyoo dura jiru sanaatti ol baʼee aarsaa gubamu 1,000 achi irratti ni dhiʼeesse.
Solomon offered sacrifices there before the LORD on the bronze altar in the Tent of Meeting, where he offered a thousand burnt offerings.
7 Waaqnis halkan sana Solomoonitti mulʼatee, “Waan akka ani siif kennu feetu kam iyyuu na kadhadhu” jedheen.
That night God appeared to Solomon and said, “Ask, and I will give it to you!”
8 Solomoon immoo akkana jedhee Waaqaaf deebise; “Ati abbaa koo Daawitiif arjummaa guddaa goote; anas iddoo isaa buuftee mootii gooteerta.
Solomon replied to God: “You have shown much loving devotion to my father David, and You have made me king in his place.
9 Egaa yaa Waaqayyo, yaa Waaqi, abdiin ati abbaa koo Daawitiif kennite sun fiixaan haa baʼu; ati saba akka biyyoo lafaa baayʼatu irratti mootii na gooteertaatii.
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 Akka ani saba kana hoogganuuf ogummaa fi beekumsa naaf kenni. Yoo akkas taʼuu baate eenyutu saba kee guddaa kana bulchuu dandaʼa?”
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 Waaqnis Solomooniin akkana jedhe; “Sababii wanni kun fedhii garaa keetii taʼee atis qabeenya, badhaadhummaa yookaan ulfina yookaan akka diinonni kee dhuman hin kadhatinii fi sababii ati bara dheeraa jiraachuuf utuu hin taʼin saba koo kan ani irratti mootii si godhe bulchuuf jettee ogummaa fi beekumsa kadhatteef,
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 ogummaa fi beekumsi siif ni kennama. Ani qabeenya, badhaadhummaa fi ulfina mootonni si duraan turan tokko iyyuu takkumaa hin qabaatin yookaan kan mootonni siin duubaa tokko iyyuu hin qabaanne siifin kenna.”
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 Solomoon ergasii iddoo sagadaa kan Gibeʼoon keessaa sanaa, fuula dunkaana wal gaʼii duraa kaʼee Yerusaalem dhaqe. Innis Israaʼel irratti mootii taʼe.
So Solomon went to Jerusalem from the high place in Gibeon before the Tent of Meeting, and he reigned over Israel.
14 Solomoonis gaariiwwanii fi fardeen walitti ni kuufate; innis gaariiwwan kuma tokkoo fi dhibba afurii fi fardeen kuma kudha lama qaba ture; isaan kanneenis magaalaawwan gaariiwwanii keessaa fi Yerusaalem keessa of bira ni kaaʼate.
Solomon accumulated 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horses, which he stationed in the chariot cities and also with him in Jerusalem.
15 Mootichi akka meetii fi warqeen Yerusaalem keessatti akkuma dhagaa baayʼatu, akka mukni birbirsaas akkuma mukkeen harbuu kanneen gaarran jalaatti baayʼatu ni godhe.
The king made silver and gold as common in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar as abundant as sycamore in the foothills.
16 Fardeen Solomoon Gibxii fi Qaweedhaa fidaman; daldaltoota mootummaatu Qaweedhaa gatii yerootiin isaan bite.
Solomon’s horses were imported from Egypt and Kue; the royal merchants purchased them from Kue.
17 Isaanis gaarii tokko meetii saqilii dhibba jaʼaan, farda immoo meetii saqilii dhibba tokkoo fi shantamaan Gibxii bitanii fidan. Akkasumas gaariiwwanii fi fardeen kanneen erganii mootota Heetotaatii fi mootota Sooriyaa hundatti gurguru turan.
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.
