2 Chronicles 8
1 It happened at the end of twenty years, in which Solomon had built the house of the LORD, and his own house,
Bwe wayitawo emyaka amakumi abiri, mu myaka Sulemaani gye yazimbiramu eyeekaalu ya Mukama n’olubiri lwe,
2 that the cities which Hiram had given to Solomon, Solomon built them, and caused the children of Israel to dwell there.
Sulemaani n’addaabiriza ebibuga Kulamu bye yali amuwadde, n’abiwa Abayisirayiri okubibeerangamu.
3 Solomon went to Hamath Zobah, and prevailed against it.
Sulemaani n’alumba Kamasuzoba n’akiwamba.
4 He built Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the storage cities, which he built in Hamath.
Era n’azimba ne Tadumoli mu ddungu, n’ebibuga byonna, eby’etterekero mu Kamasi.
5 Also he built Upper Beth Horon, and Lower Beth Horon, fortified cities, with walls, gates, and bars;
N’addaabiriza Besukolooni ekya waggulu ne Besukolooni ekya wansi, n’abizimba nga bibuga ebiriko bbugwe, n’enkomera, ne wankaaki, n’ebisiba eby’empagi,
6 and Baalath, and all the storage cities that Solomon had, and all the cities for his chariots, and the cities for his horsemen, and all that Solomon desired to build for his pleasure in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.
n’ekya Baalasi n’ebibuga bye byonna eby’amaterekero, n’ebibuga byonna eby’amagaali ge, n’abavuga amagaali ge, ne kyonna kye yayagala okuzimba mu Yerusaalemi, mu Lebanooni ne mu nsi yonna gye yafuganga.
7 As for all the people who were left of the Hethites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of Israel;
Abantu bonna abaalekebwawo ku Bakiiti, n’Abamoli, n’Abaperezi, n’Abakiivi, n’Abayebusi, nga bano be bataali Bayisirayiri,
8 of their descendants who were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel did not destroy, of them Solomon conscripted for slave labor to this day.
be bazzukulu abaasigalawo, Abayisirayiri be bataazikiriza, Sulemaani n’abafuula abaddu, ne leero.
9 But of the children of Israel, Solomon made no slaves for his work; but they were men of war, and his commanders, and his captains, and rulers of his chariots and of his horsemen.
Naye Sulemaani n’atafuula Bayisirayiri baddu be; bo baali baserikale be, n’abaduumizi b’eggye lye, n’abaduumizi ab’amagaali ge n’abeebagala embalaasi ze.
10 These were the chief officers of king Solomon: five hundred fifty, who ruled over the people.
Waaliwo n’abakungu ba kabaka Sulemaani ab’oku ntikko, ebikumi bibiri mu ataano, abaafuganga abantu.
11 Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharaoh out of the City of David to the house that he had built for her; for he said, "My wife shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, because the places where the ark of the LORD has come are holy."
Sulemaani n’aggya muwala wa Falaawo mu kibuga kya Dawudi n’amutwala mu lubiri lwe yamuzimbira ng’agamba nti, “Mukyala wange tajja kubeera mu lubiri lwa Dawudi kabaka wa Isirayiri, kubanga ebifo essanduuko ya Mukama by’etuusemu bitukuvu.”
12 Then Solomon offered burnt offerings to the LORD on the altar of the LORD, which he had built before the porch,
Awo Sulemaani n’awangayo ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa, ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa ku kyoto kya Mukama kye yali azimbye mu maaso ag’olubalaza,
13 even as the duty of every day required, offering according to the commandment of Moses, on the Sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the set feasts, three times in the year, in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tents.
nga bwe kyali kigwanirwa buli lunaku, okuwangayo ebiweebwayo ng’etteeka lya Musa bwe lyali, erikwata ku ssabbiiti, n’emyezi nga kye gijje giboneke, ne ku mbaga essatu eza buli mwaka, era ze zino: embaga ey’emigaati egitazimbulukuswa, n’embaga eya ssabbiiti, n’embaga ey’ensiisira.
14 He appointed, according to the ordinance of David his father, the divisions of the priests to their service, and the Levites to their offices, to praise, and to minister before the priests, as the duty of every day required; the doorkeepers also by their divisions at every gate: for so had David the man of God commanded.
N’alonda ebibinja ebya bakabona olw’obuweereza bwabwe, n’Abaleevi olw’emirimu gyabwe egy’okutenderezanga mu nnyumba, ng’ekiragiro kya Dawudi kitaawe kye yayogera ne mu kuyambangako bakabona mu mirimu egya buli lunaku. Ate era n’alonda n’abaggazi mu bibinja byabwe olw’emiryango egy’enjawulo kubanga bw’atyo Dawudi omusajja wa Katonda bwe yalagira.
15 They did not depart from the commandment of the king to the priests and Levites concerning any matter, or concerning the treasures.
Ne batava ku biragiro kabaka bye yali awadde bakabona, n’Abaleevi ku bikwatagana n’ensonga yonna, wadde ku bikwatagana n’ebyetterekero ly’ebintu eby’omuwendo.
16 Now all the work of Solomon was carried out from the day of the foundation of the house of the LORD, until it was finished. So the house of the LORD was completed.
Omulimu gwa Sulemaani ne guggwa bulungi okuva ku lunaku omusingi ogwa yeekaalu ya Mukama lwe gwa simibwa okutuusa yeekaalu lwe yaggwa, era n’emalibwa bulungi.
17 Then went Solomon to Ezion Geber, and to Eilat, on the seashore in the land of Edom.
Awo Sulemaani n’agenda e Eziyonigeba n’e Erosi ebibuga ebyali ku lubalama lw’ennyanja mu nsi ya Edomu.
18 And Hiram sent him ships and servants who had knowledge of the sea by the hands of his servants; and they came with the servants of Solomon to Ophir, and fetched from there four hundred fifty talents of gold, and brought them to king Solomon.
Kulamu n’amuweereza ebyombo, nga bigobebwa baduumizi be, abasajja abaali bamanyi ennyanja. Ne bagenda e Ofiri n’abaddu ba Sulemaani nga babeegasseko, ne baaleetera kabaka Sulemaani ettani za zaabu kkumi na musanvu.
