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.
Then Solomon, the son of David, was strengthened in his reign, and the Lord his God was with him, and he magnified him on high.
2 Ergasiis Solomoon Israaʼeloota hundatti, ajajjoota kumaatti, ajajjoota dhibbaatti, abbootii murtiitti, hooggantoota Israaʼel hundattii fi hangafoota abbootiitti dubbate;
And Solomon instructed the whole of Israel, the tribunes, and the centurions, and the rulers, and the judges over all of Israel, and the leaders 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 he went away with the entire multitude to the high place of Gibeon, where the tabernacle of the covenant of the Lord was, which Moses, the servant of God, made in the wilderness.
4 Daawitis taabota Waaqaa Kiriyaati Yeʼaariimii gara iddoo qopheesseef sanaatti ni fide; inni Yerusaalem keessatti dunkaana dhaabeefii tureetii.
For David had brought the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim, to the place that he had prepared for it, and where he had pitched a tabernacle for it, that is, 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.
Also, the altar of brass, which Bezalel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had constructed, was there before the tabernacle of the Lord. And so Solomon sought it, with the entire assembly.
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.
And Solomon ascended to the bronze altar, before the tabernacle of the covenant of the Lord, and he offered upon it one thousand victims.
7 Waaqnis halkan sana Solomoonitti mulʼatee, “Waan akka ani siif kennu feetu kam iyyuu na kadhadhu” jedheen.
But behold, during that night God appeared to him, saying, “Request what you wish, so that I may give it to you.”
8 Solomoon immoo akkana jedhee Waaqaaf deebise; “Ati abbaa koo Daawitiif arjummaa guddaa goote; anas iddoo isaa buuftee mootii gooteerta.
And Solomon said to God: “You have shown great mercy to my father David. And you have appointed me as 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 therefore, O Lord God, let your word be fulfilled, which you promised to my father David. For you have made me king over your great people, who are as innumerable 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?”
Give to me wisdom and understanding, so that I may enter and depart before your people. For who is able worthily to judge this, your people, who are so great?”
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,
Then God said to Solomon: “Since this is the choice that pleased your heart, and you did not request wealth and substance and glory, nor the lives of those who hate you, nor even many days of life, since instead you requested wisdom and knowledge so that you may be able to judge my people, over whom I have appointed you as 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.”
wisdom and knowledge are granted to you. And I will give to you wealth and substance and glory, so that none of the kings either before you or after you will be similar to you.”
13 Solomoon ergasii iddoo sagadaa kan Gibeʼoon keessaa sanaa, fuula dunkaana wal gaʼii duraa kaʼee Yerusaalem dhaqe. Innis Israaʼel irratti mootii taʼe.
Then Solomon went from the high place of Gibeon to Jerusalem, before the tabernacle of the covenant, 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.
And he gathered to himself chariots and horsemen. And they brought to him one thousand four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen. And he caused them to be in the cities of the chariots, and with the king 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.
And the king offered silver and gold in Jerusalem as if they were stones, and cedar trees as if they were sycamores, which grow in the plains in a great multitude.
16 Fardeen Solomoon Gibxii fi Qaweedhaa fidaman; daldaltoota mootummaatu Qaweedhaa gatii yerootiin isaan bite.
Then horses were brought to him from Egypt and from Kue, by the negotiators of the king, who went and bought for a price:
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 four-horse chariot for six hundred pieces of silver, and a horse for one hundred fifty. A similar offer to purchase was made known among all the kingdoms of the Hittites, and among the kings of Syria.
