2 Chronicles 2
1 Solomon ordered the building of a Temple to honor the Lord and a royal palace for himself.
Tokosra Solomon el wotela in musai sie tempul tuh in nien alu nu sin LEUM GOD, ac oayapa in musaela sie inkul fulat nu sel sifacna.
2 He allocated 70,000 men as laborers, 80,000 as stone cutters in the mountains, and 3,600 as foremen.
El sang itngoul tausin mwet in wun kufwen orekma, ac oalngoul tausin mwet in tufahl eot fineol uh. Mwet tolu tausin onfoko pa kol orekma sac.
3 Solomon sent a message to Hiram, king of Tyre, telling him,
Solomon el supwala kas nu sel Tokosra Hiram lun acn Tyre ac fahk, “Nga ke kom in oru nu sik oana ke kom tuh oru nu sel Tokosra David, papa tumuk, ke kom tuh kukakin sak cedar nu sel elan sang musai inkul fulat sel ah.
4 “Please do as you did with my father David when you sent him cedar timber for him to build a palace to live in. I'm about to start building a Temple to honor the Lord my God, dedicated to him, where he will be offered sweet-smelling incense, where the showbread will be always set out in rows, and where burnt offerings will be made every morning and evening, on the Sabbaths, at new moon festivals, and at the feasts of the Lord our God—this to be done forever in Israel.
Nga ac musai sie tempul in akfulatye LEUM GOD luk. Ac fah sie acn mutal, acn ma nga ac mwet luk ac fah alu nu sel we, ke kut akosak mwe keng ac ma wo fohlo, ac sang bread mutal nu sel ke pacl nukewa. Acn se inge kut ac fah oayapa esukak mwe kisa firir ke lotutang ac eku nukewa, oayapa ke len Sabbath ac Kufwa lun Malem Sasu ac len mutal saya, in akfulatye LEUM GOD lasr oana ke El sapkin nu sin mwet Israel tuh elos in oru nwe tok.
5 This Temple I am about to build must be impressive, because our God is greater than all gods.
Nga akoo in musaela sie tempul na lulap, mweyen God lasr El fulat liki god nukewa saya.
6 But who can build a Temple for him to live in, for the heavens, even highest heaven, cannot contain him, and who am I that I should dare to build him a house, except to burn incense to him?
Tusruktu wanginna sie mwet ac ku in musaela sie tempul sin God, mweyen finne ke yoklana lun acn inkusrao, tia ku in nwanulak. Ma sefanna nga ku in oru pa in orala sie acn in orek kisa nu sin God.
7 So please send me a master craftsman who is skilled in working with gold, silver, bronze, and iron; and in purple, scarlet, and blue fabrics. He must also know how to engrave, working together with my expert craftsmen from Judea and Jerusalem provided by my father David.
Inge supwama sie mwet su yohk etu lal ke tufahl eot, ac orekma ke gold, silver, osra bronze, ac iron, oayapa el ku in orala tuhn wowo ke nuknuk tuh in folfol, sroninmutuk, ac srusra. Mwet se inge el ac wi mwet musa lun Judah ac Jerusalem su David, papa tumuk, el tuh sulela.
8 Also send me cedar, cypress, and algum timber from Lebanon, for I know that your workers are skillful in cutting down the trees of Lebanon. I will send men to help your workers
Nga etu lah yohk etu lun mwet lom ingan ke orekma ke sak. Ke ma inge supwama sak cedar, cypress, ac juniper Lebanon me. Nga akola in supwaot mwet luk inge in wi mwet lom,
9 to produce a large quantity of timber because the Temple I'm building will be really large and very impressive.
in akoela sak pukanten, mweyen tempul se nga ac musai uh ac arulana yohk ac wolana.
10 I will pay your workers, the wood-cutters, 20,000 cors of crushed wheat, 20,000 cors of barley, 20,000 baths of wine, and 20,000 baths of olive oil.”
Nga ac supwaot siofok tausin bushel in wheat, siofok tausin bushel in barley, siofok singoul tausin gallon in wain, ac siofok singoul tausin gallon in oil in olive in kasru mwet orek sak lom ingan.”
11 King Hiram of Tyre responded to Solomon by letter: “It's because the Lord loves his people that he has made you their king.”
Tokosra Hiram el supwala leta se in topuk nu sel Solomon. El simusla kas inge: “Ke sripen LEUM GOD El lungse mwet lal, El oru tuh kom in tokosra faclos.
12 Hiram went on, “Praise the Lord, the God of Israel, who made the heavens and the earth! He has given King David a wise son with insight and understanding who is going to build a Temple for the Lord and a royal palace for himself.
Kaksakin LEUM GOD lun Israel, su orala kusrao ac faclu! El sang nu sel Tokosra David sie wen lalmwetmet, su yohk etauk ac usrnguk lal, su akola in musai sie tempul nu sin LEUM GOD, ac sie inkul fulat nu sel sifacna.
13 I'm sending you Hiram-Abi, a master craftsman who knows and understands what he's doing.
Nga ac supwaot sie mwet orekma ke osra su arulana lalmwetmet ac usrnguk ke musa — inel pa Huram.
14 His mother is from the tribe of Dan and his father is from Tyre. He's an expert in working with gold and silver, bronze and iron, stone and wood, purple, blue, and crimson fabric, and fine linen. He can do all kinds of engraving and can make any design he's given. He'll work with your craftsmen and with the craftsmen of my lord, your father David.
Nina kial ma in sruf lal Dan, ac papa tumal sie mwet Tyre. El ku in oru kutena ma ke gold, silver, bronze, osra, eot, ac sak. El ku pac in orala nuknuk ke tuhn folfol, sroninmutuk, ac srusra, oayapa nuknuk linen. El etu pac taflela kutena lumah ma mwet uh ac fahk nu sel. Lela elan wi mwet musa lom ingan, oayapa mwet orekma lal Tokosra David, papa tomom.
15 Now my lord, please send to us his servants the wheat, barley, olive oil, and wine he spoke about.
Ke ma inge, supwama wheat, barley, wain, ac oil in olive ma kom wulela kac.
16 We will cut all timber you need from Lebanon and take it to you by sea in rafts to Joppa. From there you can transport it to Jerusalem.”
In acn Lebanon kut ac fah pakela sak cedar nukewa ma kom enenu an, ac kapriya nu ke raft, ac pahkin nwe ke sun acn Joppa. Na mwet lom fah usla we lac nu Jerusalem.”
17 Solomon had a census taken of all the foreigners in the land of Israel, like the census his father David had conducted, and found there were 153,600.
Tokosra Solomon el orala sie oaoa lulap ke mwetsac nukewa su muta in acn lun Israel, oapana oaoa se ma David, papa tumal, el tuh orala. Pisen mwetsac muta we oasr ke mwet siofok lumngaul tolu tausin onfoko.
18 He allocated 70,000 as laborers, 80,000 as stonecutters in the mountains, and 3,600 as foremen.
Na el sap itngoul tausin selos in wiwa, ac oalngoul tausin selos in fokfok eot fineol ah. El sulela mwet tolu tausin onfoko in liye orekma inge tuh in orekla wo.
