1 Nampaozareñe am-pifehea’e ao t’i Selomò ana’ i Davide naho nañimb’ aze vaho nampitoabotse ty enge’e t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’e.
And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and the LORD his God was with him, and magnified him exceedingly.
2 Le nisaontsy am’ Israele iaby t’i Selomò, amo mpifelek’ arivo naho zatoo naho amo mpizakao vaho amo mpiaolo’ Israeleo, o talèn-droae’eo.
Then Solomon spoke 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 Aa le nimb’ amy toets’ abo’ i Giboney mb’eo t’i Selomò rekets’ i valobohòkey amy te añe ty toe’ i kibo­hom-pamantañan’ Añahare niranjie’ i Mosè mpitoro’ Iehovà an-dratraratray.
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 Fe nampionjone’ i Davide boake Kiriate-jearime i vatan’ Añaharey mb’amy toetse hinajari’ i Davide ho azey, ie fa nampitroare’e kivoho e Ierosalaime ao.)
But the ark of God had David brought up from Kirjathjearim to the place which David had prepared for it: for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem.
5 Amy te añatrefa’ i kivoho’ Iehovày i kitrely torisike niranjie’ i Bazalile ana’ i Orý, ana’ i Horey; le Izay ty pinai’ i Selomò naho i valobohòkey.
Moreover the brazen 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 Aa le nionjom-b’amy kitrely torisìkey t’i Selo­mò, añatrefa’ Iehovà, mb’amy kibohom-pamantañañey mb’eo vaho nañenga soroñe arivo ama’e.
And Solomon went up thither to the brazen altar before the LORD, which was at the tabernacle of the congregation, and offered a thousand burnt offerings upon it.
7 Niheo amy Selomò amy haleñey t’i Andrianañahare, nanao ty hoe: Ihalalio le hatoloko azo.
In that night did God appear unto Solomon, and said unto him, Ask what I shall give you.
8 Le hoe t’i Selomò aman’ Añahare: Fa tinoro’o fañisohañe ra’elahy t’i Davide raeko vaho nanoe’o mpanjaka iraho handimbe aze.
And Solomon said unto God, You have showed great mercy unto David my father, and have made me to reign in his position.
9 Ie amy zao ry Iehovà Andrianañahare, ehe aja­doño i nitsarae’o amy Davide raekoy; fa nanoe’o mpanjaka hifehe ondaty mira ami’ty hamaro’ ty deboke an-tane atoio iraho.
Now, O LORD God, let your promise unto David my father be established: for you have made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude.
10 Ehe toloro hihitse naho hilala henaneo, hiakarako naho himoahako añatrefa’ ondaty retoañe; amy te ia ty hahafizaka ondati’o mitozantozañeo?
Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who can judge this your people, that is so great?
11 Le hoe t’i Andrianañahare amy Selo­mò: Aa kanao izay ty añ’ arofo’o ao ie tsy nihalalia’o vara, ndra hareañe, ndra asiñe, ndra ty fiaim-palaiñ’ azo vaho tsy nihalalia’o andro maro, te mone hihitse naho hilala ty nihalalia’o, hahafizakà’o ondatiko nanoeko azo mpanjakao;
And God said to Solomon, Because this was in your heart, and you have not asked riches, wealth, or honour, nor the life of your enemies, neither yet have asked long life; but have asked wisdom and knowledge for yourself, that you may judge my people, over whom I have made you king:
12 le hatoloko azo ty hihitse naho hilala, mbore hitolorako vara naho hareañe naho asiñe, manahake ze mbe tsy amo mpanjaka taolo’oo vaho tsy hañirinkiriña’ o hanonjohio.
Wisdom and knowledge is granted unto you; and I will give you riches, and wealth, and honour, such as none of the kings have had that have been before you, neither shall there any after you have the like.
13 Aa le nimpoly boak’ an-toets’ abo e Gibone eo t’i Selomò, hirik’ aolo’ i kibohom-pamantañañey, pake Ierosa­laime vaho nifehe Israele.
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 Nanontoñe sarete naho mpiningi-tsoavala t’i Selo­mò; le nanan-tsarete arivo-tsi-efajato naho mpiningi-tsoavala rai-ale-tsi-ro’ arivo, ze natobe’e amo rovan-tsareteo naho amy mpanjakay e Ierosalaime ao.
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 Nampirae’ i mpanjakay amo vatoo ty volamena naho ty volafoty e Ierosalaime ao, le nampirae’e amo sakoañe am-bavataneo o mendoraveñeo ami’ty hamaro’e.
And the king made silver and gold at Jerusalem as abundant as stones, and cedar trees made he as the sycomore trees that are in the vale for abundance.
16 Le nendese’ i Selomò boake Mitsraime naho boake Keve añe o soavalao; o mpanao bali’ i mpanjakaio ty nivily iereo amo nte-Keveo ami’ty vili’e.
And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and linen yarn: the king's merchants received the linen yarn at a price.
17 Tinoha’ iereo e Mitsraime añe an-tsekele volafoty enenjato ty sarete naho zato-tsi-limampolo ty soavala; le amy vily zay ka ty nañondroñañe irezay mb’amo mpanjaka’ o nte-Keteoo naho o mpanjaka’ i Arameo.
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.
