¹Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and Yahweh “Yahweh” is God’s proper Name, sometimes rendered “LORD” (all caps) in other translations. his God The Hebrew word rendered “God” is “Elohim.” was with him, and magnified him exceedingly.

¹Lix cuanquil laj Salomón, li ralal laj David, quixakabâc saß xnaßaj ut kßaxal cuißchic quiniman xucuanquil xban nak li Kâcuaß lix Dios cuan riqßuin.

²Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to every prince in all Israel, the heads of the fathers’ households.

²Laj Salomón quixtakla xchßutubanquileb chixjunileb laj Israel. Queßxchßutub ribeb li nequeßtaklan saß xbêneb li junjûnk chßûtal chi soldado, ut eb laj rakol âtin, joß eb ajcuiß li nequeßtaklan saß xbêneb laj Israel, ut eb li nequeßjolomin reheb li junjûnk cabal.

³So Solomon, and all the assembly with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon; for there was the Tent of Meeting of God, which Moses the servant of Yahweh had made in the wilderness.

³Ut laj Salomón rochbeneb chixjunileb li queßxchßutub ribeb queßcôeb Gabaón saß li naßajej li najt xteram xban nak aran cuan lix tabernáculo li Dios li quixyîb saß li chaki chßochß laj Moisés laj cßanjel chiru li Dios.

⁴But David had brought the ark of God up from Kiriath Jearim to the place that David had prepared for it; for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem.

⁴Abanan lix Lokßlaj Câx li Kâcuaß cuan Jerusalén saß li muhebâl li quixyîb laj David nak quixcßam chak li Lokßlaj Câx toj Quiriat-jearim.

⁵Moreover the bronze altar, that Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, was there before the tabernacle of Yahweh: and Solomon and the assembly were seeking counsel there.

⁵Ut li artal yîbanbil riqßuin bronce cuan aran Gabaón chiru lix tabernáculo li Kâcuaß. Aßan li artal li quixyîb laj Bezaleel, li ralal laj Uri. Laj Uri, aßan li ralal laj Hur. Aran cô laj Salomón rochbeneb li tenamit chixpatzßbal chiru li Dios cßaßru us tixbânu.

⁶Solomon went up there to the bronze altar before Yahweh, which was at the Tent of Meeting, and offered one thousand burnt offerings on it.

⁶Laj Salomón cô chiru li artal yîbanbil riqßuin bronce, li cuan chiru lix tabernáculo li Kâcuaß. Ut aran quixmayeja jun mil li xul saß li artal.

⁷In that night God appeared to Solomon, and said to him, “Ask what I shall give you.”

⁷Saß li kßojyîn aßan li Dios quixcßutbesi rib chiru laj Salomón ut quixye re: —Tzßâma li cßaßru tâcuaj ut lâin tinqßue âcue, chan.

⁸Solomon said to God, “You have shown great loving kindness to David my father, and have made me king in his place.

⁸Ut laj Salomón quixye re li Dios: —Junelic cacuuxtâna ru laj David lin yucuaß. Ut lâat catxakaban cue chokß rey chokß rêkaj.

⁹Now, Yahweh God, let your promise to David my father be established; for you have made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude.

⁹Joßcan ut, at Kâcuaß, at inDios, chabânu joß cayechißi re laj David inyucuaß. Lâat catxakaban cue chokß rey saß xbên jun tenamit kßaxal nim. Chanchaneb li poks xban nak kßaxal nabaleb.

¹⁰Now give me 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?”

¹⁰Nintzßâma châcuu nak tâqßue taxak innaßleb re nak tinnau taklânc saß xbêneb. ¿Ani ta biß târûk tâtaklânk saß xbêneb lâ tenamit xban nak kßaxal nabaleb? chan laj Salomón.

¹¹God said to Solomon, “Because this was in your heart, and you have not asked riches, wealth, or honor, nor the life of those who hate you, 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:

¹¹Li Kâcuaß quirabi lix tij laj Salomón ut quixye re: —Us li xatzßâma chicuu. Lâat incßaß xatzßâma nak tinnajtobresi rok lâ yußam, chi moco xatzßâma lâ biomal, chi moco lâ lokßal. Chi moco xatzßâma chicuu nak teßcâmk li xicß nequeßiloc âcue. Xatzßâma ban chicuu nak tinqßue ânaßleb re nak tânau taklânc saß xyâlal saß xbêneb lin tenamit li xatinxakab cuiß chokß rey.

¹²wisdom and knowledge is granted to you. I will give you riches, wealth, and honor, such as none of the kings have had who have been before you; neither shall there any after you have the like.”

¹²Lâ naßleb li xatzßâma tinqßue âcue. Ut tinqßue ajcuiß âbiomal ut tinqßue âlokßal. Mâ jun rey tâcuânk joß lâat, chi moco junxil, chi moco mokon, chan li Kâcuaß.

¹³So Solomon came from the high place that was at Gibeon, from before the Tent of Meeting, to Jerusalem; and he reigned over Israel.

¹³Tojoßnak laj Salomón qui-el Gabaón saß li naßajej li najt xteram li cuan cuiß lix tabernáculo li Kâcuaß ut cô Jerusalén. Ut aran quitaklan saß xbêneb laj Israel.

¹⁴Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen: and he had one thousand four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, that he placed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.

¹⁴Laj Salomón quixchßutubeb lix carruajes ut eb lix soldados li nequeßxic chirix cacuây. Cuanqueb jun mil riqßuin câhib ciento lix carruajes ut cablaju mil li cuînk li nequeßxic chirix cacuây. Cuan li quixcßameb saß li tenamit li quixyîb re xxocbaleb lix carruaje ut cuan queßcana Jerusalén cuan cuiß li rey.

¹⁵The king made silver and gold to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he to be as the sycamore trees that are in the lowland, for abundance.

¹⁵Nak cuan chokß rey laj Salomón nabal li plata ut li oro quixchßutub aran Jerusalén. Chanchan chic xqßuial li pec. Joßcan ajcuiß li châbil cheß chacalteß. Kßaxal cuißchic nabal cuan. Chanchan li cheß higo li cuan saß li naßajej Sefela.

¹⁶The horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt and from Kue; the king’s merchants purchased them from Kue.

¹⁶Li jun chßûtaleb lix môs laj Salomón nequeßxic aran Egipto chixlokßbal chak li cacuây ut li châbil tßicr chokß re li rey Salomón.Nequeßchal nequeßxic aran Egipto chi lokßoc. Nequeßxlokß li carruaje aran Egipto chi cuakib ciento chi tumin plata. Ut li cacuây nequeßxlokß chi jun ciento riqßuin mero ciento. Joßcan nequeßxlokß cuiß eb aßan. Ut eb lix reyeb laj heteo ut eb li rey re Siria nequeßxlokß li cacuây ut li carruaje riqßuineb aßan.

¹⁷They brought up and brought out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred pieces of silver, and a horse for one hundred fifty: and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of Syria, they brought them out by their means.

¹⁷Nequeßchal nequeßxic aran Egipto chi lokßoc. Nequeßxlokß li carruaje aran Egipto chi cuakib ciento chi tumin plata. Ut li cacuây nequeßxlokß chi jun ciento riqßuin mero ciento. Joßcan nequeßxlokß cuiß eb aßan. Ut eb lix reyeb laj heteo ut eb li rey re Siria nequeßxlokß li cacuây ut li carruaje riqßuineb aßan.
