2 Chronicles 8
1 Now at the end of the twenty years during which Solomon had built the house of the LORD and his own palace,
Patatha zaka makumi awiri, ndiye nthawi imene Solomoni anamanga Nyumba ya Mulungu ndi nyumba yake yaufumu,
2 Solomon rebuilt the cities Hiram had given him and settled Israelites there.
Solomoni anamanganso midzi imene anapatsidwa ndi Hiramu, ndipo anakhazikamo Aisraeli.
3 Then Solomon went to Hamath-zobah and captured it.
Kenaka Solomoni anapita kukalanda Hamati-zoba.
4 He built Tadmor in the wilderness, in addition to all the store cities that he had built in Hamath.
Iye anamanganso Tadimori ku chipululu ndi mizinda yonse yosungiramo chuma, imene anayimanga ku Hamati.
5 He rebuilt Upper and Lower Beth-horon as fortified cities with walls, gates, and bars,
Anamanganso Beti-Horoni Wakumtunda ndi Beti-Horoni Wakumunsi, mizinda yotetezedwa yokhala ndi makoma, zitseko ndi zitsulo zotchingira,
6 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.
pamodzinso ndi Baalati ndi mizinda yake yonse yosungira chuma, ndiponso mizinda yonse yosungiramo magaleta ake ndi akavalo ndi chilichonse anafuna kumanga ku Yerusalemu, ku Lebanoni ndi ku madera onse amene iye ankalamulira.
7 As for all the people who remained of the Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites (the people who were not Israelites)—
Panali anthu amene anatsala pakati pa mitundu ya Ahiti, Aamori, Aperezi, Ahivi ndi Ayebusi (anthu awa sanali Aisraeli).
8 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.
Zimenezi ndiye zinali zidzukulu zawo zotsalira mʼdzikoli, anthu amene Aisraeli sanathe kuwawononga kotheratu. Solomoni anawatenga ndi kukhala akapolo ake ogwira ntchito yathangata, monga zilili mpaka lero lino.
9 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.
Koma Solomoni sanagwiritse ntchito ya ukapolo Aisraeli; Iwo anali anthu ake ankhondo, atsogoleri a ankhondo, olamulira magaleta ndi oyendetsa magaleta ake.
10 They were also the chief officers for King Solomon: 250 supervisors.
Amenewa ndiwo anali akuluakulu oyangʼanira ntchito za mfumu Solomoni. Onse amene ankayangʼanira anthu analipo 250.
11 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.”
Solomoni anabweretsa mwana wamkazi wa Farao mu mzinda wa Davide ku nyumba yaufumu yomwe anamumangira, pakuti iye anati, “Mkazi wanga asakhale mʼnyumba yaufumu ya Davide mfumu ya Israeli, chifukwa malo amene Bokosi la Chipangano la Yehova lafikira ndi opatulika.”
12 At that time Solomon offered burnt offerings to the LORD on the altar of the LORD he had built in front of the portico.
Solomoni anapereka nsembe zopsereza pa guwa lansembe la Yehova limene anamanga patsogolo pa khonde la polowera,
13 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.
monga momwe zinkafunikira pa tsiku lililonse. Ankapereka nsembezo potsata malamulo a Mose okhudza chikondwerero cha Masabata, chikondwerero cha Mwezi Watsopano ndi zikondwerero zitatu za pa chaka: Chikondwerero cha Buledi Wopanda yisiti, Chikondwerero cha Masabata ndi Chikondwerero cha Misasa.
14 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.
Potsata malangizo a Davide abambo ake, iye anayika ansembe mʼmagulumagulu monga mwa ntchito zawo ndipo anayika Alevi kukhala otsogolera matamando ndi kuthandiza ansembe pa zofunika pa tsiku lililonse. Iye anasankhanso magulumagulu a alonda a pa zipata zosiyanasiyana, chifukwa izi ndi zimene munthu wa Mulungu, Davide analamula.
15 They did not turn aside from the king’s command regarding the priests or the Levites or any matter concerning the treasuries.
Anthu sanapatukepo pa zimene mfumu inalamula ansembe kapena Alevi pa china chilichonse, kuphatikiza za chuma.
16 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.
Ntchito yonse ya Solomoni inachitika kuyambira tsiku limene maziko a Nyumba ya Mulungu anakhazikitsidwa mpaka kumaliza. Kotero Nyumba ya Yehova inamalizidwa.
17 Then Solomon went to Ezion-geber and to Eloth on the coast of Edom.
Kenaka Solomoni anapita ku Ezioni-Geberi ndi Eloti, mʼmbali mwa nyanja ku Edomu.
18 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.
Ndipo Hiramu anatumiza sitima zapamadzi zoyendetsedwa ndi antchito ake, antchito amene ankayidziwa bwino nyanja. Awa pamodzi ndi anthu a Solomoni, anayenda pa madzi kupita ku Ofiri ndipo anakatengako golide olemera makilogalamu 18,000 amene anabwera naye kwa mfumu Solomoni.
