1 Solomon, wen natul Tokosra David, el leumi tokosrai Israel ke ku, ac LEUM GOD El akinsewowoyal ac arulana akkeyal.
And strengthen himself doth Solomon son of David over his kingdom, and Jehovah his God [is] with him, and maketh him exceedingly great.
2 Tokosra Solomon el supwalik kas nu sin mwet fulat su kol fin tausin, fin foko, oayapa mwet kol nukewa lun government, sifen sou nukewa, ac mwet nukewa saya,
And Solomon saith to all Israel, to heads of the thousands, and of the hundreds, and to judges, and to every honourable one of all Israel, heads of the fathers,
3 ac sap tuh elos nukewa in welul som nu in nien alu in acn Gibeon. Elos som nu we mweyen Lohm Nuknuk Mutal sin LEUM GOD oan we, ma Moses mwet kulansap lun LEUM GOD, el tuh orala yen mwesis.
and they go — Solomon, and all the assembly with him — to the high place that [is] in Gibeon, for there hath been God's tent of meeting, that Moses, servant of Jehovah, made in the wilderness,
4 (Tusruktu Tuptup in Wuleang oan Jerusalem, in sie lohm nuknuk ma Tokosra David el tuh tulokunak ke pacl se el use Tuptup sac liki acn Kiriath Jearim.)
but the ark of God had David brought up from Kirjath-Jearim, when David prepared for it, for he stretched out for it a tent in Jerusalem;
5 Loang se orekla ke osra bronze ma orekla sel Bezalel, wen natul Uri wen natul Hur, oan pac in acn Gibeon, ke mutun Lohm Nuknuk Mutal sin LEUM GOD. Tokosra Solomon ac mwet nukewa elos alu nu sin LEUM GOD we.
and the altar of brass that Bezaleel son of Uri, son of Hur made, he put before the tabernacle of Jehovah; and Solomon and the assembly seek to it.
6 In acn sac, tokosra el alu nu sin LEUM GOD ac kisakin mwe kisa lal fin loang bronze sac. Oasr sie tausin kosro anwuki ac kisakinyuk fac.
And Solomon goeth up thither, on the altar of brass, before Jehovah, that [is] at the tent of meeting, and causeth to ascend upon it a thousand burnt-offerings.
7 In fong sac God el sikyak nu sel Solomon ac siyuk, “Mea kom lungse nga in sot nu sum?”
In that night hath God appeared to Solomon, and saith to him, 'Ask — what do I give to thee?'
8 Solomon el fahk, “Kom tuh akkalemye lung lulap lom nu sel David papa tumuk pacl nukewa, ac inge kom oru tuh nga in aolul in tokosra.
And Solomon saith to God, 'Thou hast done with David my father great kindness, and hast caused me to reign in his stead.
9 O LEUM GOD, akpwayeye wulela se kom tuh orala nu sin papa tumuk. Kom orala nga in tokosra fin mwet puspis su tia ku in oekyukla.
Now, O Jehovah God, is Thy word with David my father stedfast, for Thou hast caused me to reign over a people numerous as the dust of the earth;
10 Ke ma inge ase nu sik lalmwetmet ac etauk, su nga enenu in sang kololos. Kom fin tia oru ouinge, nga ac kol fuka mutunfacl lulap se lom inge?”
now, wisdom and knowledge give to me, and I go out before this people, and I come in, for who doth judge this Thy great people?'
11 God El topuk nu sel Solomon, “Suwohs sulela lom an. Kom tia siyuk ke mwe kasrup ku ma saok, ku ke pwengpeng, ku in anwuki mwet lokoalok lom, ku ke moul loeloes lom sifacna. A kom siyuk ke lalmwetmet ac etauk, tuh kom in ku in sang kol mwet luk su nga oru kom in tokosra faclos.
And God saith to Solomon, 'Because that this hath been with thy heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, and honour, and the life of those hating thee, and also many days hast not asked, and dost ask for thyself wisdom and knowledge, so that thou dost judge My people over which I have caused thee to reign —
12 Nga ac fah sot nu sum lalmwetmet ac etauk. Ac sayen ma inge, nga fah sot mwe kasrup, ma saok, ac pwengpeng tuh in yohk liki na tokosra nukewa su meet liki kom, ku su ac fah tuku tukum.”
the wisdom and the knowledge is given to thee, and riches and wealth and honour I give to thee, that there hath not been so to the kings who [are] before thee, and after thee it is not so.'
13 Ouinge Solomon el som liki nien alu sac in acn Gibeon, yen Lohm Nuknuk Mutal sin LEUM GOD oan we, ac folokla nu Jerusalem. Acn se inge pa nien muta lal Solomon ke el tokosra fin mwet Israel.
And Solomon cometh in [from] the high place that [is] in Gibeon to Jerusalem, from before the tent of meeting, and reigneth over Israel,
14 El akpusye chariot lal ke sie tausin angfoko, ac pisen horse ke singoul uo tausin nu sin mwet mweun lal. Kutu sin ma inge el filiya in oan Jerusalem, ac ma saya el supwala in oan ke siti saya.
and Solomon gathereth chariots and horsemen, and he hath a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, and he placeth them in the cities of the chariots, and with the king in Jerusalem.
15 In pacl se ke el tokosra ah, mwet Jerusalem elos pangon silver ac gold ma pilasr oana eot, ac sak cedar su wangin suna we meet, inge arulana pukanten oana sak sycamore su kap pe eol in acn Judah.
And the king maketh the silver and the gold in Jerusalem as stones, and the cedars he made as sycamores that [are] in the low country, for abundance.
16 Mwet kulansap fulat lun tokosra pa nununku pisen horse ma tuku Musri ac Cilicia me,
And the source of the horses that [are] to Solomon [is] from Egypt and from Keva; merchants of the king from Keva take at a price,
17 ac oayapa pisen chariot ma tuku Egypt me. Elos kitala horse ac chariot nu sin tokosra lun mwet Hit ac tokosra lun acn Syria. Molin chariot se pa ipin silver onfoko, ac molin horse soko pa ipin silver siofok lumngaul.
and they come up, and bring out from Egypt a chariot for six hundred silverlings, and a horse for fifty and a hundred, and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of Aram — by their hand they bring out.
