¹And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and the LORD his God was with him, and magnified him exceedingly.

¹[Fanatitra nataon'i Solomona, ary nisehoan'Andriamanitra taminy tao Gibeona] Ary Solomona, zanak'i Davida, dia nitombo hery tamin'ny fanjakany, ary Jehovah Andriamaniny nomba azy ka nanandratra azy indrindra.

²Then 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.

²Ary Solomona nandidy Isiraely rehetra, dia mpifehy arivo sy mpifehy zato sy mpitsara ary loham-pirenena rehetra tamin'ny Isiraely, dia lohan'ny fianakaviana,

³So 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.

³ka dia niara-niakatra ho any amin'ny fitoerana avo tao Gibeona Solomona sy fiangonana rehetra; fa tao trano-lay fihaonana izay an'Andriamanitra, ilay nataon'i Mosesy, mpanompon'i Jehovah, tany an-efitra.

⁴But 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.

⁴Fa fiaran'Andriamanitra efa nampakarin'i Davida avy ta Kiriata-jearima ho ao amin'izay efa namboariny ho azy; fa efa nanorina lay ho azy tany Jerosalema izy.

⁵Moreover 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.

⁵Ary alitara varahina izay nataon'i Bezalila, zanak'i Ory zanak'i Hora, dia teo anoloan'ny tabernakelin'i Jehovah; ary Solomona sy fiangonana nitady Azy tao. [Na: azy]

⁶And 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.

⁶Ary Solomona nanatitra fanatitra teo amin'ny alitara varahina teo anatrehan'i Jehovah, izay momba ny trano-lay fihaonana; fanatitra dorana arivo no nateriny teo.

⁷In that night did God appear unto Solomon, and said unto him, Ask what I shall give thee.

⁷Tamin'ny alin'iny no nisehoan'Andriamanitra tamin'i Solomona, ka hoy Izy taminy: Angataho izay tianao homeko anao.

⁸And Solomon said unto God, Thou hast showed great mercy unto David my father, and hast made me to reign in his stead.

⁸Dia hoy Solomona tamin'Andriamanitra: Hianao efa naneho fahasoavana lehibe tamin'i Davida raiko ary nampanjaka ahy handimby azy.

⁹Now, 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.

⁹Koa ankehitriny, ry Jehovah Andriamanitra ô. aoka ho tanteraka teninao tamin'i Davida raiko; fa Hianao efa nampanjaka ahy tamin'ny vahoaka maro be tahaka ny vovo-tany.

¹⁰Give 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?

¹⁰Koa omeo fahendrena sy fahalalana aho hitarihako ireto vahoaka ireto mivoaka sy miditra; fa iza no hahay mitsara izao olonao betsaka izao?

¹¹And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thine heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honor, 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:

¹¹Dia hoy Andriamanitra tamin'i Solomona: Satria tao am-ponao izany ka tsy nangataka vola aman-karena ianao, na voninahitra, na ain'ny fahavalonao, ary tsy nangataka ho ela velona aza, fa nangataka fahendrena sy fahalalana hitsaranao ny oloko izay nampanjakako anao,

¹²Wisdom and knowledge is granted unto thee; and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honor, such as none of the kings have had that have been before thee, neither shall there any after thee have the like.

¹²dia omena anao ny fahendrena sy fahalalana; ary homeko vola aman-karena sy voninahitra koa ianao, mihoatra noho izay nananan'ny mpanjaka rehetra na iza na iza tany alohanao, ary tsy hisy hanana tahaka izany ny any aorianao.

¹³Then 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.

¹³Ary tonga tany Jerosalema Solomona avy teo amin'ny fitoerana avo tao Gibeona, dia teo anoloan'ny trano-lay fihaonana; ary nanjaka tamin'ny Isiraely izy.

¹⁴And 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.

¹⁴[Ny amin'ny nanangonan'i Solomona soavaly aman-kalesy mbamin'ny harena be] Ary Solomona nanangona kalesy sy mpitaingin-tsoavaly ka nanana kalesy efa-jato amby arivo sy mpitaingin-tsoavaly roa arivo sy iray alina, izay nataony tany amin'ireny tanàna fitoeran'ny kalesy ary tao amin'ny mpanjaka tany Jerosalema.

¹⁵And the king made silver and gold at Jerusalem as plenteous as stones, and cedar trees made he as the sycamore trees that are in the vale for abundance.

¹⁵Ary nataon'ny mpanjaka ho tahaka ny vato ny habetsaky ny volafotsy sy ny volamena tany Jerosalema, ary ny hazo sedera nataony toy ny aviavy eny amin'ny tany lemaka amoron-tsiraka. [Heb. Sefela]

¹⁶And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and linen yarn: the king's merchants received the linen yarn at a price.

¹⁶Avy tany Egypta no nahazoan'i Solomona soavaly; ary ny iray toko tamin'ny mpandranton'ny mpanjaka dia naka andiany iray araka izay vidiny voatendry.

¹⁷And 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.

¹⁷Ary ny vidin'ny kalesy iray nentiny niakatra avy tany Egypta dia sekely volafotsy enin-jato, ary ny soavaly dia dimam-polo amby zato avy; ary toy izany koa no nitondrany ho an'ny mpanjakan'ny Hetita sy ny mpanjakan'ny Syriana.[Ny niomanan'i Solomona hanao ny tempoly] Ary Solomona nilaza fa hanao trano ho an'ny anaran'i Jehovah sy lapa ho an'ny tenany.

¹⁸[Ny niomanan'i Solomona hanao ny tempoly] Ary Solomona nilaza fa hanao trano ho an'ny anaran'i Jehovah sy lapa ho an'ny tenany.
