¹And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and Jehovah 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.

²And Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to all the princes of all Israel, the chief 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,

³and Solomon, and all the congregation with him, went to the high place at Gibeon; for there was God's tent of meeting which Moses the servant of Jehovah 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 Kirjath-jearim to the [place] that David had prepared for it; for he had spread 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.

⁵And the brazen altar that Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, was there before the tabernacle of Jehovah; 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 offered there upon the brazen altar before Jehovah which was at the tent of meeting; and he offered up 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 God appeared to Solomon, and said to 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 to God, Thou hast shewn unto David my father great loving-kindness, and hast made me king in his stead.

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

⁹Now, Jehovah Elohim, let thy word unto David my father be firm; for thou hast made me king over a people numerous as the dust of the earth.

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 great people?

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 thy heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honour, nor the life of them that hate thee, neither yet hast asked long life; but hast asked for thyself wisdom and knowledge, 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 are granted unto thee; and I will give thee riches and wealth and honour, such as none of the kings have had that have been before thee, neither shall 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 back [from] the high place at Gibeon to Jerusalem, from before the tent of meeting, 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 four hundred chariots and twelve thousand horsemen; and he placed them 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 in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he as the sycamores that are in the lowland 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 the exportation of horses that Solomon had was from Egypt: a caravan of the king's merchants fetched a drove [of horses], 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 a horse for a hundred and fifty; and so they brought [them] by their means, for all the kings of the Hittites and for the kings of Syria.

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.
