2 Weche Mag Ndalo 8
1 E giko higni piero ariyo mane Solomon ogerogo hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye kod kare owuon mar dak,
Now at the end of the twenty years during which Solomon had built the house of the LORD and his own palace,
2 Solomon noloso mier matindo mane Hiram omiye kendo noketoe jo-Israel mondo odagie.
Solomon rebuilt the cities Hiram had given him and settled Israelites there.
3 Bangʼe Solomon nodhi Hamath Zoba mokawe.
Then Solomon went to Hamath-zobah and captured it.
4 Bende nogero Tadmor mane nitie e thim kaachiel gi mier madongo mag keno manogero Hamath.
He built Tadmor in the wilderness, in addition to all the store cities that he had built in Hamath.
5 Noloso Beth Horon Mamalo kod Beth Horon Mamwalo kaka mier madongo mochiel gohinga motegno kendo oketnegi rangeye miloro gi lodi.
He rebuilt Upper and Lower Beth-horon as fortified cities with walls, gates, and bars,
6 Bende nogero Baalath kaachiel gi mier duto madongo mag keno kod mier duto madongo mag geche lweny to gi faresegi, Solomon nogero gimoro amora mane odwaro gero Jerusalem gi Lebanon kod gwenge duto mane nitie e bwo lochne.
as well as Baalath, all the store cities that belonged to Solomon, and all the cities for his chariots and horses —whatever he desired to build in Jerusalem, Lebanon, and throughout the land of his dominion.
7 Ji duto mane odongʼ e pinyno koa kuom jo-Hiti, gi jo-Amor kod jo-Perizi, gi jo-Hivi kod jo-Jebus (ogendinigi ne ok jo-Israel),
As for all the people who remained of the Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites (the people who were not Israelites)—
8 tiende ni, nyikwagi mane odongʼ e piny ma jo-Israel ne ok otieko, Solomon nolokogi wasumbini michuno mondo oti githuon, kaka obet nyaka chil kawuono,
their descendants who remained in the land, those whom the Israelites were unable to destroy—Solomon conscripted these people to be forced laborers, as they are to this day.
9 To Solomon ne ok oloko jo-Israel wasumbini kuom tije, to noketogi kaka jolwenje, jotelo mag jotend lweny kod jotelo mag geche lweny kod joriemb gechene.
But Solomon did not consign any of the Israelites to slave labor, because they were his men of war, his officers and captains, and the commanders of his chariots and cavalry.
10 Bende ne gin jodong Ruoth Solomon madongo ma kar rombgi ne jotelo mia ariyo gi piero abich mane orito ji.
They were also the chief officers for King Solomon: 250 supervisors.
11 Solomon nogolo nyar Farao e Dala Maduongʼ mar Daudi mokelo e od ruoth manogerone kowacho niya, “Chiega ok nyal dak e od ruoth Daudi ma ruodh jo-Israel nikech kuonde ma Sandug Muma mar Jehova Nyasaye mar singruok osedonje gin kuonde maler.”
Solomon brought the daughter of Pharaoh up from the City of David to the palace he had built for her. For he said, “My wife must not live in the house of David king of Israel, because the places the ark of the LORD has entered are holy.”
12 Solomon nochiwo ne Jehova Nyasaye misengini miwangʼo pep e kendo mar misango mar Jehova Nyasaye mane ogero e nyim agola,
At that time Solomon offered burnt offerings to the LORD on the altar of the LORD he had built in front of the portico.
13 kaluwore gi chik mane Musa ogolo kuom chiwo migolo pile ka pile mag odiechienge Sabato, Wuok Dwe, kaachiel gi sewni moyier adek mag higa ka higa ma gin Sawo mar makati ma ok oketie thowi, gi Sawo mar Jumbe kod Sawo mar Kiche.
He observed the daily requirement for offerings according to the commandment of Moses for Sabbaths, New Moons, and the three annual appointed feasts—the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks, and the Feast of Tabernacles.
14 Kaluwore gi chike Daudi wuon mare, Solomon nochano migepe mag jodolo kuom tijegi kendo jo-Lawi notelo ni tich wer kod konyo jodolo kaluwore gi tije mopogore opogore mapile ka pile. Kendo nopogo jorit rangeye gi migepegi kuom rangeye mopogore opogore nikech ma e chik ma Daudi ngʼat Nyasaye nochiko.
In keeping with the ordinances of his father David, Solomon appointed the divisions of the priests over their service, and the Levites for their duties to offer praise and to minister before the priests according to the daily requirement. He also appointed gatekeepers by their divisions at each gate, for this had been the command of David, the man of God.
15 Kuom weche duto mane ruoth ochiko jodolo kod jo-Lawi ne onge moro amora mane giweyo kata mana weche mag keno.
They did not turn aside from the king’s command regarding the priests or the Levites or any matter concerning the treasuries.
16 Tije Solomon duto notim kochakore chiengʼ manochakoe gero hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye nyaka tiekne. Omiyo hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye notiek gero.
Thus all the work of Solomon was carried out, from the day the foundation was laid for the house of the LORD until it was finished. So the house of the LORD was completed.
17 Bangʼe Solomon nodhi Ezion Geber kod Elath manie dho nam e piny Edom.
Then Solomon went to Ezion-geber and to Eloth on the coast of Edom.
18 Omiyo Hiram nooro yiedhi kikwangʼogi kod jotende owuon, jogo molony kuom tich nam. Jogi kaachiel gi joge Solomon nokwangʼ nyaka Ofir ma gikelo dhahabu ma pekne romo kilo alufu apar gabiriyo kendo negikele ne Ruoth Solomon.
So Hiram sent him ships captained by his servants, along with crews of experienced sailors. They went with Solomon’s servants to Ophir and acquired from there 450 talents of gold, which they delivered to King Solomon.
