2 Chronicles 1
1 Solomon the son of David was firmly established in his kingdom, and Yahweh his God was with him, and made him exceedingly great.
Salomo, mwana mobali ya Davidi, alendisamaki makasi na bokonzi na ye, pamba te Yawe, Nzambe na ye, azalaki elongo na ye mpe akomisaki ye moto monene penza.
2 Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, to the judges, and to every prince in all Israel, the heads of the fathers’ households.
Salomo abengisaki Isalaele mobimba: bakonzi ya bankoto ya basoda, bakonzi ya bankama ya basoda, basambisi, bakambi ya Isalaele mobimba mpe bakambi ya mabota.
3 Then Solomon, and all the assembly with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon; for God’s Tent of Meeting was there, which Yahweh’s servant Moses had made in the wilderness.
Bongo, Salomo elongo na lisanga mobimba bakendeki na esambelo ya likolo ya ngomba, na Gabaoni, pamba te Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani ya Nzambe, oyo Moyize, mosali na Yawe, atelemisaki na esobe ezalaki kuna.
4 But David had brought God’s ark up from Kiriath Jearim to the place that David had prepared for it; for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem.
Nzokande, Davidi amemaki Sanduku ya Nzambe, wuta na Kiriati-Yearimi kino na esika oyo abongisaki mpo na yango, pamba te atelemisaki mpo na yango Ndako ya kapo kati na Yelusalemi.
5 Moreover the bronze altar that Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made was there before Yahweh’s tabernacle; and Solomon and the assembly were seeking counsel there.
Kasi etumbelo ya bronze oyo Betisaleyeli, mwana mobali ya Uri mpe koko ya Wuri, atongaki ezalaki liboso ya Mongombo. Ezalaki kuna nde Salomo elongo na lisanga mobimba balukaki Yawe.
6 Solomon went up there to the bronze altar before Yahweh, which was at the Tent of Meeting, and offered one thousand burnt offerings on it.
Salomo akendeki na etumbelo ya bronze, liboso ya Yawe kati na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani, mpe abonzaki kuna bambeka ya kotumba nkoto moko.
7 That night, God appeared to Solomon and said to him, “Ask for what you want me to give you.”
Na butu wana, Nzambe abimelaki Salomo mpe alobaki na ye: — Senga Ngai nyonso oyo olingi ete napesa yo.
8 Solomon said to God, “You have shown great loving kindness to David my father, and have made me king in his place.
Salomo azongiselaki Nzambe: — Otalisi bolamu monene epai ya Davidi, tata na ngai, mpe otie ngai mokonzi na esika na ye.
9 Now, Yahweh God, let your promise to David my father be established; for you have made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude.
Sik’oyo, oh Yawe Nzambe, tika ete elaka oyo opesaki epai ya Davidi, tata na ngai, ekokisama! Pamba te ezali Yo nde otie ngai mokonzi ya bato oyo bazali ebele lokola putulu ya mabele.
10 Now give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people; for who can judge this great people of yours?”
Pesa ngai bwanya mpe boyebi mpo ete nakoka kotambolisa bato oyo. Pamba te, nani akolonga kokamba ebele ya bato na Yo oyo?
11 God said to Solomon, “Because this was in your heart, and you have not asked riches, wealth, honor, or the life of those who hate you, nor yet have you asked for long life; but have asked for wisdom and knowledge for yourself, that you may judge my people, over whom I have made you king,
Nzambe alobaki na Salomo: — Lokola likambo oyo ezali posa ya motema na yo; lokola osengi bozwi te, bomengo to lokumu te to mpe kufa ya banguna na yo te; lokola osengi te bomoi molayi, kasi osengi bwanya mpe boyebi mpo na kotambolisa bato na Ngai, oyo natie yo mokonzi na bango,
12 therefore wisdom and knowledge is granted to you. I will give you riches, wealth, and honor, such as none of the kings have had who have been before you, and none after you will have.”
bwanya mpe boyebi ekopesamela yo, mpe nakopesa yo lisusu bozwi, bomengo mpe lokumu oyo mokonzi moko te, liboso na yo, atikala kozwa, mpe mokonzi moko te, sima na yo, akotikala kozwa.
13 So Solomon came from the high place that was at Gibeon, from before the Tent of Meeting, to Jerusalem; and he reigned over Israel.
Bongo Salomo alongwaki na esambelo ya likolo ya ngomba, na Gabaoni epai wapi akendeki liboso ya Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani, mpe azongaki na Yelusalemi. Mpe akomaki mokonzi ya Isalaele.
14 Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen. He had one thousand four hundred chariots and twelve thousand horsemen that he placed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
Salomo asangisaki bashar mpe basoda oyo batambolaka likolo ya bampunda; azalaki na bashar nkoto moko na nkama minei, mpe basoda oyo batambolaka likolo ya bampunda, nkoto zomi na mibale. Abombaki bango kati na bingumba epai wapi babombaka bashar, mpe na Yelusalemi epai wapi mokonzi azalaki kovanda.
15 The king made silver and gold to be as common as stones in Jerusalem, and he made cedars to be as common as the sycamore trees that are in the lowland.
Mokonzi asalaki ete wolo mpe palata ekoma ebele na Yelusalemi lokola mabanga, mpe banzete ya sedele ekoma ebele lokola banzete ya sikomori oyo ezali kati na mokili ya lubwaku.
16 The horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt and from Kue. The king’s merchants purchased them from Kue.
Bampunda ya Salomo ezalaki kowuta na Ejipito mpe na engumba Kue. Bato ya mombongo ya mokonzi nde bazalaki kosomba yango kuna na engumba Kue.
17 They imported from Egypt then exported a chariot for six hundred pieces of silver and a horse for one hundred fifty. They also exported them to the Hittite kings and the Syrian kings.
Bazalaki kosomba na Ejipito shar moko na motuya ya mbongo ya bibende ya palata, nkama motoba, mpe mpunda moko na motuya ya mbongo ya bibende, nkama moko na tuku mitano; bazalaki mpe kosomba yango mpo na bakonzi nyonso ya bato ya Iti mpe ya Siri.
