2 Chronicles 2

1 And Solomon resolved to build a house to the name of the Lord, and a palace for himself.

And he said Solomon to build a house for [the] name of Yahweh and a house for royalty his.

2 And he numbered seventy thousand men to carry upon shoulders, and eighty thousand who were hewing stones in the mountains, and three thousand six hundred as their overseers.

And he counted Solomon seventy thousand man burden-bearer[s] and eighty thousand man stone-cutter[s] in the hill country and overseers over them three thousand and six hundred.

3 Also, he sent to Hiram, the king of Tyre, saying: “Just as you did for my father David, when you sent him cedar wood, so that he might build a house for himself, in which he then lived,

And he sent Solomon to Huram [the] king of Tyre saying just as you dealt with David father my and you sent to him cedars to build for him a house to dwell in it.

4 do so also for me, so that I may build a house to the name of the Lord my God, so that I may consecrate it for the burning of incense before him, and for the smoke of aromatics, and for the perpetual bread of the presence, and for the holocausts, in morning and in evening, as well as on the Sabbaths and new moons and solemnities of the Lord our God forever, which have been commanded to Israel.

Here! I [am] about to build a house for [the] name of - Yahweh God my to consecrate [it] to him to make smoke before him incense of perfume and [the] row of continuity and burnt offerings for the morning and for the evening for the sabbaths and for the new moons and for [the] appointed times of Yahweh God our for ever this [is] on Israel.

5 For the house that I desire to build is great. For our God is great, above all gods.

And the house which I [am] about to build [will be] great for [is] great God our more than all the gods.

6 So then, who will be able prevail, so that he may build a worthy house for him? If heaven and the heavens of heavens cannot contain him, what am I that I would be able to build a house to him? But let it be for this only, so that incense may be burned before him.

And who? will he retain strength to build for him a house for the heavens and [the] heavens of the heavens not they will contain him and who? [am] I that I will build for him a house that except to make smoke before him.

7 Therefore, send to me a learned man, who knows how to work with gold and silver, with brass and iron, with purple, scarlet, and hyacinth, and who knows how to carve engravings, along with these artisans that I have with me in Judea and Jerusalem, whom my father David has prepared.

And therefore send to me a man skillful to work in gold and in silver and in bronze and in iron and in purple and crimson and violet and [one who] knows to engrave engravings with the skillful [people] who [are] with me in Judah and in Jerusalem whom he appointed David father my.

8 Then too, send to me cedar wood, and juniper, and pine from Lebanon. For I know that your servants know how to cut timber from Lebanon, and my servants will be with your servants,

And send to me wood of cedar fir and algum from Lebanon for I I know that servants your [are] knowing to cut [the] wood of Lebanon and there! servants my [will be] with servants your.

9 so that very much wood may be prepared for me. For the house that I desire to build is exceedingly great and glorious.

And to prepare for me wood to abundance for the house which I [am] about to build [will be] great and act wonderfully.

10 In addition, I will give to your servants, the workers who will cut down the trees, for provisions: twenty thousand cor of wheat, and the same number of cor of barley, and twenty thousand measures of wine, as well as twenty thousand good measures of oil.”

And here! to the wood-cutters - to [the] cutters of - the wood I give wheat - wounds to servants your cors twenty thousand and barley cors twenty thousand and wine baths twenty thousand and oil baths twenty thousand.

11 Then Hiram, the king of Tyre, said, by a letter that had been sent to Solomon: “Because the Lord loved his people, for this reason he appointed you to reign over them.”

And he said Huram [the] king of Tyre in a document and he sent to Solomon because loves Yahweh people his he has made you over them king.

12 And he added, saying: “Blessed is the Lord, the God of Israel, who made heaven and earth, who gave to king David a son who is wise, and learned, and intelligent as well as prudent, so that he may build a house to the Lord, and a palace for himself.

And he said Huram [be] blessed Yahweh [the] God of Israel who he has made the heavens and the earth who he has given to David the king a son wise [who] knows insight and understanding who he will build a house for Yahweh and a house for royalty his.

13 Therefore, I have sent my father Hiram to you; he is a prudent and very knowledgeable man,

And now I send a man wise [who] knows understanding Huram Abi.

14 the son of a woman from the daughters of Dan, whose father was a Tyrian, who knows how to work with gold and silver, with brass and iron, and with marble and timber, as well as with purple, and hyacinth, and fine linen, and scarlet. And he knows how to carve every kind of engraving, and how to devise prudently whatever may be necessary to the work, with your artisans and with the artisans of my lord David, your father.

A son of a woman one of [the] daughters of Dan and father his [was] a man Tyrian [who] knows to work in gold and in silver in bronze in iron in stone and in wood in purple in violet and in fine linen and in crimson and to engrave every engraving and to design any design which it will be given to him with skilled [people] your and [the] skillful [people] of lord my David father your.

15 Therefore, send the wheat and barley and oil and wine, which you, my lord, have promised, to your own servants.

And therefore the wheat and the barley the oil and the wine which he has said lord my let him send to servants his.

16 Then we will cut down as much wood from Lebanon as you will need, and we will convey them as rafts by sea to Joppa. Then it will be for you to transfer them to Jerusalem.”

And we we will cut wood from Lebanon according to all need your and we will bring them to you rafts on [the] sea Joppa and you you will take up them Jerusalem.

17 And so Solomon numbered all the new converts who were in the land of Israel, after the numbering that David his father had done, and they were found to be one hundred fifty thousand and three thousand six hundred.

And he counted Solomon all the people the sojourners who [were] in [the] land of Israel after the census which he had counted them David father his and they were found one hundred and fifty thousand and three thousand and six hundred.

18 And he appointed seventy thousand of them, who would carry burdens on shoulders, and eighty thousand who would hew stones in the mountains, then three thousand and six hundred as overseers of the work of the people.

And he appointed of them seventy thousand burden-bearer[s] and eighty thousand stone-cutter[s] in the hill country and three thousand and six hundred overseers to compel to labor the people.
