2 Chronicles 2
1 Solomon ordered the building of a Temple to honor the Lord and a royal palace for himself.
Solomoni pinnu láti kọ́ ilé fún orúkọ Olúwa àti ilé kan fún ìjọba rẹ̀
2 He allocated 70,000 men as laborers, 80,000 as stone cutters in the mountains, and 3,600 as foremen.

3 Solomon sent a message to Hiram, king of Tyre, telling him,
Solomoni rán iṣẹ́ yìí sí Hiramu ọba Tire: “Rán àwọn igi kedari sí mi gẹ́gẹ́ bí o ti ṣe fún baba à mi Dafidi. Nígbà tí ó fi igi kedari ránṣẹ́ sí i láti kọ́ ààfin tí ó ń gbé.
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.
Nísinsin yìí, èmi n kọ́ ilé kan fún orúkọ Olúwa Ọlọ́run mi àti láti yà á sí mímọ́ fún un àti láti sun tùràrí olóòórùn dídùn níwájú rẹ̀, fún gbígbé àkàrà ìfihàn ìgbàkúgbà, àti fún ṣíṣe ẹbọ sísun ní gbogbo àárọ̀ àti ìrọ̀lẹ́ àti ní ọjọọjọ́ ìsinmi àti oṣù tuntun àti ní àjọ̀dún tí a yàn ti Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa. Èyí ni àṣẹ fún Israẹli láéláé.
5 This Temple I am about to build must be impressive, because our God is greater than all gods.
“Ilé Olúwa tí èmi yóò kọ́ yóò tóbi, nítorí pé Ọlọ́run wa tóbi ju gbogbo àwọn ọlọ́run mìíràn lọ.
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?
Ṣùgbọ́n ta ni ó le è kọ́ ilé fún Olúwa, níwọ̀n ìgbà tí àwọn ọ̀run, àní ọ̀run àwọn ọ̀run tó ga jùlọ, kò le è gbà á? Ta ni èmi nígbà náà láti kọ́ ilé fún Olúwa, bí kò ṣe kìkì àti sun ẹbọ sun ẹbọ níwájú rẹ̀?
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.
“Nítorí náà, rán ọkùnrin kan sí mi, tí a kọ́ láti ṣiṣẹ́ pẹ̀lú wúrà àti fàdákà àti idẹ àti irin, àti ní àwọ̀ àlùkò àti àwọ̀ pupa fòò àti ní àwọ̀ ojú ọ̀run, tí ó jẹ́ onímọ̀ nínú iṣẹ́ igi gbígbẹ́ láti ṣiṣẹ́ ní Juda àti Jerusalẹmu pẹ̀lú àwọn onímọ̀ oníṣọ̀nà tí baba à mi Dafidi pèsè.
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
“Fi ìtì igi kedari, junifa àti algumu ránṣẹ́ sí mi, láti Lebanoni, nítorí tí mo mọ̀ pé àwọn ọkùnrin rẹ ní ìmọ̀ nínú gígé igi rírẹ́. Àwọn ọkùnrin mi yóò ṣiṣẹ́ pẹ̀lú àwọn ọkùnrin rẹ.
9 to produce a large quantity of timber because the Temple I'm building will be really large and very impressive.
Láti pèsè ọ̀pọ̀ igi rírẹ́ fún mi, nítorí ilé Olúwa tí mo kọ́ gbọdọ̀ tóbi kí o sì lógo púpọ̀.
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.”
Èmi yóò fún àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ, àwọn ọkùnrin agégi tí ó ń gé ìtì igi náà ni ogún ẹgbẹ̀rún, alikama ilẹ̀ àti ogún ẹgbẹ̀rún, ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ti barle; ogún ẹgbẹ̀rún, bati ọtí wáìnì àti ogún ẹgbẹ̀rún bati òróró olifi.”
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.”
Hiramu ọba Tire fèsì padà nípasẹ̀ ìwé sí Solomoni: “Nítorí tí Olúwa fẹ́ràn àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀, ó ti ṣe ọ́ ní ọba wọn.”
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.
Hiramu fi kún un pe, “Ìyìn ni fún Olúwa, Ọlọ́run Israẹli, tí ó dá ọ̀run òun ayé! O ti fún ọba Dafidi ní ọmọ tí ó gbọ́n, tí ó kún fún ìmọ̀ àti òye, tí yóò kọ́ ilé fún Olúwa àti ààfin fún ara rẹ̀.
13 I'm sending you Hiram-Abi, a master craftsman who knows and understands what he's doing.
“Èmi ń rán Huramu-Abi, ọkùnrin tí ó kún fún ìmọ̀ àti òye sí ọ.
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.

15 Now my lord, please send to us his servants the wheat, barley, olive oil, and wine he spoke about.
“Nísinsin yìí, jẹ́ kí olúwa mi rán àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ ní alikama àti barle àti òróró Olifi náà àti ọtí tí ó ti ṣe ìlérí.
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.”

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.
Solomoni ka iye àwọn àjèjì tí ó wà ní Israẹli lẹ́yìn kíka iye wọn tí baba a rẹ̀ Dafidi ti ṣe; a sì ka iye wọn sí ọ̀kẹ́ mẹ́jọ ó dín egbèjìlélọ́gbọ̀n.
18 He allocated 70,000 as laborers, 80,000 as stonecutters in the mountains, and 3,600 as foremen.
