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

¹ Suleymanu Dawda izo sinji nga mayra ra, Rabbi a Irikoyo go a banda, a n'a beerandi mo gumo.

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.

² Suleymanu salaŋ da Israyla* kulu, da zambar-zambarey da zangu-zangey jine borey, da ciitikoy mo, ngey da Israyla mayraykoy kulu, sanda kaayey windi arkusey nooya.

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.

³ Suleymanu binde, nga nda jama kulu a banda ziji ka koy sududuyaŋ nango do kaŋ go Jibeyon, zama noodin no Irikoy kubayyaŋ hukumo go, wo kaŋ Irikoy tamo Musa te saajo ra.

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.

⁴ Amma Dawda jin ka Irikoy sundurko sambu ka fun d'a Ciriyat-Yeyarim ka kond'a nango kaŋ nga din, Dawda, soola a se, zama a na hukum sinji a se Urusalima* ra.

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.

⁵ Hala sohõ mo, guuru-say sargay* feema kaŋ Bezaleyel Uri izo, Hur ize te go noodin Jibeyon, Rabbi nangora jine. Suleymanu mo, nga nda jama kulu koy noodin a do.

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.

⁶ Noodin binde Suleymanu ziji ka koy guuru-say feema do, Rabbi jine, feema kaŋ go kubayyaŋ hukumo do haray. A na sargay kaŋ i ga ton zambar fo salle a boŋ.

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

⁷ Cin woodin ra binde Irikoy bangay Suleymanu se ka ne a se: «Ma ŋwaaray haŋ kaŋ ay ga ni no.»

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

⁸ Suleymanu ne Irikoy se: «Ni na baakasinay suuji boobo cabe ay baaba Dawda se. Ay mo, ni n'ay ciya bonkooni a nango ra.

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.

⁹ Sohõ binde, ya Rabbi Irikoy, nin d'ay baaba Dawda game ra alkawlo, a tabbat, zama ni n'ay ciya bonkooni borey boŋ, jama kaŋ ga baa gumo sanda laabo gurey cine.

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?

¹⁰ Sohõ binde, ni m'ay no laakal da bayray, zama ay ma jama wo may. Zama may no ga hin ka ciiti te ni jama bambata wo se?»

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:

¹¹ Kala Irikoy ne Suleymanu se: «Za kaŋ woodin go ni bina ra, ni mana duure wala arzaka ŋwaaray, wala beeray, wala ni ibarey fundi. Ni mana baa aloomar kuuku ŋwaaray mo ni boŋ se, amma ni na laakal da bayray ŋwaaray ni boŋ se, kaŋ ga naŋ ni ma hin ka ciiti dumbu ay jama se, ngey kaŋ yaŋ ay na ni ciya i bonkoono.

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.

¹² To, laakal da bayray, ay na ni no d'ey. Ay ga ni no mo arzaka nda duure da beeray kaŋ dumi bonkooni fo mana du a cine baa ce fo ni jine, a sinda mo boro kaŋ ga ye ka du a cine ni banda.»

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.

¹³ Suleymanu binde ye ka kaa ka fun sududuyaŋ nango do kaŋ go Jibeyon, kubayyaŋ hukumo jine. A kaa Urusalima, a na Israyla may mo.

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 Suleymanu na torkoyaŋ da bari-kariyaŋ margu. A gonda torko zambar fo da zangu taaci, kaarukoyaŋ mo zambar way cindi hinka, kaŋ yaŋ a jisi torkey galley ra. I go bonkoono banda mo Urusalima ra.

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.

¹⁵ Bonkoono na wura da nzarfu ciya sanda tond'izeyaŋ Urusalima ra. Sedre* bundu mo a n'a ciya sanda durmi bundu kaŋ go Safela* ra, i baayaŋo sabbay se.

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

¹⁶ Suleymanu bariyey mo, Misira no i ga fun d'ey. Bonkoono dillaŋey g'i ta kuru-kuru, kuru fo kulu da nga hayo.

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.

¹⁷ I ga kande torkoyaŋ ka fun d'ey Misira. I ga kande afo kulu nzarfu kilo iyye cine boŋ, bari fo mo sekel zangu nda waygu boŋ. Yaadin cine mo no dillaŋey ga kand'ey Hittancey da Suriya bonkooney se.
