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.

AND Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and the Lord his God was with him, and magnified him exceedingly.

2 Ergasiis Solomoon Israaʼeloota hundatti, ajajjoota kumaatti, ajajjoota dhibbaatti, abbootii murtiitti, hooggantoota Israaʼel hundattii fi hangafoota abbootiitti dubbate;

Then Solomon spake unto all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to every governor in all Israel, the chief of the fathers.

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.

So Solomon, and all the congregation with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon; for there was the tabernacle of the congregation of God, 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.

But the ark of God had David brought up from Kirjath-jearim to the place which David had prepared for it: for he had pitched a tent for it at 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.

Moreover the brasen altar, that Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, he put before the tabernacle of the Lord: and Solomon and the congregation sought unto it.

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 went up thither to the brasen altar before the Lord, which was at the tabernacle of the congregation, and offered a thousand burnt offerings upon it.

7 Waaqnis halkan sana Solomoonitti mulʼatee, “Waan akka ani siif kennu feetu kam iyyuu na kadhadhu” jedheen.

In that night did God appear unto Solomon, and said unto him, Ask what I shall give thee.

8 Solomoon immoo akkana jedhee Waaqaaf deebise; “Ati abbaa koo Daawitiif arjummaa guddaa goote; anas iddoo isaa buuftee mootii gooteerta.

And Solomon said unto God, Thou hast shewed great mercy unto David my father, and hast made me to reign in his stead.

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 thy promise unto David my father be established: for thou hast made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude.

10 Akka ani saba kana hoogganuuf ogummaa fi beekumsa naaf kenni. Yoo akkas taʼuu baate eenyutu saba kee guddaa kana bulchuu dandaʼa?”

Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who can judge this thy people, that is 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,

And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thine heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honour, nor the life of thine enemies, neither yet hast asked long life; but hast asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest judge my people, over whom I have made thee 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 is granted unto thee; and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honour, such as none of the kings have had that have been before thee, neither shall there any after thee have the like.

13 Solomoon ergasii iddoo sagadaa kan Gibeʼoon keessaa sanaa, fuula dunkaana wal gaʼii duraa kaʼee Yerusaalem dhaqe. Innis Israaʼel irratti mootii taʼe.

Then Solomon came from his journey to the high place that was at Gibeon to Jerusalem, from before the tabernacle of the congregation, and 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 Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, which he placed in the chariot cities, and with the king at 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 made silver and gold at Jerusalem as plenteous as stones, and cedar trees made he as the sycomore trees that are in the vale for abundance.

16 Fardeen Solomoon Gibxii fi Qaweedhaa fidaman; daldaltoota mootummaatu Qaweedhaa gatii yerootiin isaan bite.

And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and linen yarn: the king’s merchants received the linen yarn at 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.

And they fetched up, and brought forth out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred shekels of silver, and an horse for an hundred and fifty: and so brought they out horses for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, by their means.
