< 2 Chronicles 8 >
1 And it comes to pass at the end of twenty years that Solomon has built the house of YHWH and his own house.
Le ƒe blaeve megbe esi Solomo tu Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la kple eya ŋutɔ ƒe fiasã la vɔ la,
2 As for the cities that Huram has given to Solomon, Solomon has built them, and he causes the sons of Israel to dwell there.
Solomo gbugbɔ kɔƒe siwo Hiram tso nɛ la tu eye wòna Israelviwo yi ɖanɔ wo me.
3 And Solomon goes to Hamath-Zobah, and lays hold on it;
Ɣeyiɣi sia me kee Solomo ho aʋa ɖe Hamat Zoba du la ŋu eye wòɖu edzi.
4 and he builds Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the cities of store that he has built in Hamath.
Etso Tadmɔ du la ɖe gbegbe kple du bubuwo ɖe Hamat abe nudzraɖoƒe duwo ene.
5 And he builds Beth-Horon the upper, and Beth-Horon the lower—cities of defense, with walls, double gates, and bar—
Eglã Bet Horon du dzigbetɔ kple Bet Horon anyigbetɔ siaa. Eɖo gli ƒo xlã wo, de gakpogbowo kple gametiwo wo nu.
6 and Ba‘alath, and all the cities of store that Solomon had, and all the cities of the chariot, and the cities of the horsemen, and all the desire of Solomon that he desired to build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.
Etu Baalat kple nudzraɖoƒe du bubuwo le ɣeyiɣi sia me, etso du siwo me wòda eƒe tasiaɖamwo kple sɔwo ɖo eye wòtu xɔ siwo katã dzroe la ɖe Yerusalem kple Lebanon kple teƒe bubu vovovowo le anyigba si dzi wònye fia ɖo.
7 All the people who are left of the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, who are not of Israel—
Ame siwo katã susɔ le Hititɔwo, Amoritɔwo, Perizitɔwo, Hivitɔwo kple Yebusitɔwo dome (ame siwo menye Israelviwo o),
8 of their sons who have been left after them in the land, whom the sons of Israel did not consume—Solomon lifts up a tribute to this day.
Woawoe nye ame siwo nɔ anyigba la dzi tsã ƒe dzidzimeviwo ame siwo Israelviwo metsrɔ̃ o la. Fia Solomo na wowɔ dɔ abe kluviwo ene abe ale si wòle va se ɖe egbe ene.
9 And Solomon has made none of the sons of Israel servants for his work, but they [are] men of war, and heads of his captains, and heads of his charioteers, and of his horsemen;
Ke metsɔ Israelviwo ya wɔ kluviwo o, ke boŋ ena wozu asrafowo, asrafomegãwo, le aʋafiawo, tasiaɖamkulawo dzikpɔlawo kple sɔdolawo nu;
10 and these [are] heads of the officers whom King Solomon has, two hundred and fifty who are rulers among the people.
hekpe ɖe dziɖuɖu ƒe dɔdzikpɔla alafa eve blaatɔ̃, ame siwo kpɔa dukɔmenyawo katã dzi la ŋu.
11 And Solomon has brought up the daughter of Pharaoh from the City of David to the house that he built for her, for he said, “My wife does not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, for they are holy to whom the Ark of YHWH has come.”
Solomo kplɔ srɔ̃a si nye Fia Farao ƒe vinyɔnu la dzoe tso Yerusalem ƒe akpa si woyɔna be David ƒe Du la me yi fiasã yeye si wotu nɛ la me elabena egblɔ be, “Mele be srɔ̃nye nanɔ Fia David ƒe fiasã me o elabena Yehowa ƒe nubablaɖaka la nɔ afi ma kpɔ eye wònye teƒe kɔkɔe.”
12 Then Solomon has caused burnt-offerings to ascend to YHWH on the altar of YHWH that he built before the porch,
Solomo sa numevɔwo na Yehowa le Yehowa ƒe vɔsamlekpui si wòɖi ɖe akpata si le gbedoxɔ la ŋgɔ la dzi.
13 even by the matter of a day in its day, to cause to ascend according to the command of Moses, on Sabbaths, and on new moons, and on appointed times, three times in a year—in the Celebration of Unleavened Things, and in the Celebration of Weeks, and in the Celebration of Shelters.
Wosaa vɔ siawo ɖe gbe sia gbe ƒe hiahiãwo nu abe ale si dze ene, ɖe Dzudzɔgbewo, Dzinu Yeyewo kple ŋkekenyui etɔ̃ siwo woɖuna le ƒea me la nu. Esiawoe nye Abolo Maʋamaʋã ƒe Ŋkekenyui, Kɔsiɖawo ƒe Ŋkekenyui kple Agbadɔ ƒe Ŋkekenyui.
14 And he establishes, according to the ordinance of his father David, the divisions of the priests over their service, and of the Levites over their charges, to praise and to minister before the priests, according to the matter of a day in its day, and the gatekeepers in their divisions at every gate, for so [is] the command of David the man of God.
Be wòalé fofoa David ƒe ɖoɖowo me ɖe asi la, etia nunɔlawo ɖe woƒe hatsotsowo me hena woƒe dɔdeasiwo wɔwɔ eye Levitɔwo hã be woanɔ ŋgɔ le kafukafuhawo dzidzime eye woakpe ɖe nunɔlaawo ŋu le gbe sia gbe ƒe hiahiãwo nu. Nenema ke wòtia agbonudzɔlawo ɖe woƒe hatsotsowo me hena agbo vovovoawo ŋu dzɔdzɔ elabena esiae David, Mawu ƒe ame la, ɖo da ɖi.
15 And they have not turned aside [from] the command of the king concerning the priests and the Levites, in reference to any matter, and to the treasures.
Womeda le fia la ƒe sededewo na nunɔlawo alo Levitɔwo dzi le nya aɖeke me o. Nenema kee nye nudzraɖoƒewo ƒe nyawo hã.
16 And all the work of Solomon is prepared until the day of the foundation of the house of YHWH, and until its completion; the house of YHWH is perfect.
Wowɔ dɔ siwo katã Solomo de tome be yeawɔ la tso gbe si gbe wòɖo Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la ƒe gɔmeɖokpe anyi va se ɖe esime wowu enu. Ale wowu Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la tutu nu.
17 Then Solomon has gone to Ezion-Geber, and to Elath, on the border of the sea, in the land of Edom;
Solomo yi Ezion Geber kple Elat le Edom ƒuta.
18 and Huram sends to him, by the hand of his servants, ships and servants knowing the sea, and they go with servants of Solomon to Ophir, and take four hundred and fifty talents of gold from there, and bring it to King Solomon.
Hiram ɖo tɔdziʋu siwo eya ŋutɔ ƒe amewo, ame siwo nya atsiaƒu ŋu dɔ wɔwɔ nyuie la ku la ɖee. Ame siawo kple Solomo ƒe amewo yi Ofir eye wotsɔ sika kilo akpe wuiatɔ̃ vɛ na Fia Solomo.
