2 Chronicles 2
1 Now Solomon purposed to build a house for the name of YHWH, and a house for his kingdom.
Solomoni anatsimikiza zoti amange Nyumba ya Dzina la Yehova ndi nyumba yake yaufumu.
2 Solomon counted out seventy thousand men to bear burdens, and eighty thousand men who were stone cutters in the mountains, and three thousand and six hundred to oversee them.
Iye analemba ntchito anthu 70,000 onyamula katundu ndi anthu 80,000 okumba miyala ku mapiri ndiponso akapitawo 3,600 oyangʼanira anthuwo.
3 Solomon sent to Hiram the king of Tyre, saying, "As you dealt with David my father, and sent him cedars to build him a house in which to dwell, so deal with me.
Solomoni anatumiza uthenga uwu kwa Hiramu mfumu ya ku Turo: “Munditumizire mitengo ya mkungudza monga munachitira ndi abambo anga pamene munawatumizira mitengo ya mkungudza yomangira nyumba yaufumu yokhalamo.
4 Look, I am about to build a house for the name of YHWH my God, to dedicate it to him, and to burn before him incense of sweet spices, and for the continual show bread, and for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the Sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the set feasts of YHWH our God. This is an ordinance forever to Israel.
Tsono ine ndikufuna kumanga Nyumba ya Yehova Mulungu wanga ndi kuyipereka kwa Iye kuti tiziyikamo buledi wopatulika nthawi zonse ndiponso kuperekeramo nsembe zopsereza mmawa uliwonse ndi madzulo ndi pa masabata ndi pa masiku a chikondwerero cha mwezi watsopano ndiponso pa masiku osankhika a chikondwerero cha Yehova Mulungu wathu, monga mwa malamulo a Aisraeli mpaka muyaya.
5 "The house which I build is great; for our God is great above all gods.
“Nyumba ya Mulungu imene ndidzamange idzakhala yayikulu, chifukwa Mulungu wathu ndi wamkulu kuposa milungu ina yonse.
6 But who is able to build him a house, since heaven and the heaven of heavens can't contain him? Who am I then, that I should build him a house, except just to burn incense before him?
Koma ndani angathe kumumangira Iye Nyumba, pakuti mlengalenga, ngakhale kumwamba kwenikweni sikungamukwane? Tsono ine ndine yani kuti ndimangire Iyeyo Nyumba, kupatula malo chabe opserezerapo nsembe pamaso pake?
7 "Now therefore send me a man skillful to work in gold, and in silver, and in bronze, and in iron, and in purple, and crimson, and blue, and who knows how to engrave engravings, to be with the skillful men who are with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father provided.
“Tsono tumizireni munthu waluso pa ntchito zagolide ndi siliva, mkuwa ndi chitsulo, nsalu yapepo ndi yofiira ndi yobiriwira ndiponso waluso losema, kuti adzagwire ntchito mu Yuda ndi Yerusalemu pamodzi ndi anthu aluso amene abambo anga Davide anandipatsa.
8 "Send me also cedar trees, fir trees, and algum trees, out of Lebanon; for I know that your servants know how to cut timber in Lebanon: and look, my servants shall be with your servants,
“Munditumizirenso mitengo ya mkungudza, payini ndiponso matabwa a mʼbawa wa ku Lebanoni, pakuti ndikudziwa kuti anthu anu ali ndi luso locheka matabwa kumeneko. Antchito anga adzagwira ntchito pamodzi ndi antchito anu
9 even to prepare me timber in abundance; for the house which I am about to build shall be great and wonderful.
kuti andipatse matabwa ambiri, chifukwa Nyumba imene ndikumanga iyenera kukhala yayikulu ndi yokongola.
10 Look, I will give to your servants, the cutters who cut timber, twenty thousand measures of beaten wheat, and twenty thousand measures of barley, and twenty thousand baths of wine, and twenty thousand baths of oil."
Ine ndidzalipira antchito anu amene adzacheke matabwa matani 1,000 a tirigu wopunthapuntha, matani 2,000 a barele, malita 440,000 a vinyo, ndiponso malita 440,000 a mafuta a olivi.”
11 Then Hiram the king of Tyre answered in writing, which he sent to Solomon, "Because YHWH loves his people, he has made you king over them."
Hiramu, mfumu ya ku Turo, anamuyankha Solomoni pomulembera kalata kuti, “Chifukwa Yehova amakonda anthu ake, wayika iwe kukhala mfumu yawo.”
12 Hiram continued, "Blessed be YHWH, the God of Israel, that made heaven and earth, who has given to David the king a wise son, endowed with discretion and understanding, that should build a house for YHWH, and a house for his kingdom.
Ndipo Hiramu anawonjezera kunena kuti, “Atamandike Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli, amene analenga kumwamba ndi dziko lapansi! Iye wamupatsa Davide mwana wanzeru, wodzaza ndi luntha ndi wozindikira, amene adzamanga Nyumba ya Mulungu ndi kudzimangira yekha nyumba yaufumu.
13 Now I have sent a skillful man, endowed with understanding, Hiram Abi,
“Ine ndikukutumizira Hiramu Abi, munthu wa luso lalikulu,
14 the son of a woman of the daughters of Dan; and his father was a man of Tyre, skillful to work in gold, and in silver, in bronze, in iron, in stone, and in timber, in purple, in blue, and in fine linen, and in crimson, also to engrave any kind of engraving, and to execute any design; that there may be a place appointed to him with your skillful men, and with the skillful men of my lord David your father.
amene amayi ake anali wochokera ku Dani ndipo abambo ake anali a ku Turo. Iye anaphunzitsidwa kugwira ntchito zagolide ndi siliva, mkuwa ndi chitsulo, miyala yokongola ndi matabwa, ndiponso nsalu zofewa zobiriwira, zapepo ndi zofiira. Alinso ndi luso la zosemasema ndipo atha kupanga chilichonse chimene wapatsidwa. Iye adzagwira ntchito ndi amisiri anu ndi a mbuye wanga, Davide abambo anu.
15 "Now therefore the wheat and the barley, the oil and the wine, which my lord has spoken of, let him send to his servants:
“Tsono mbuye wanga tumizirani antchito anu tirigu ndi barele, mafuta a olivi ndi vinyo zimene mwalonjeza,
16 and we will cut wood out of Lebanon, as much as you shall need; and we will bring it to you in floats by sea to Joppa; and you shall carry it up to Jerusalem."
ndipo ife tidzadula mitengo yonse imene mukuyifuna kuchokera ku Lebanoni ndipo tidzayimanga pamodzi ndi kuyiyadamitsa pa madzi mpaka ku Yopa. Ndipo inu mudzatha kuyitenga mpaka ku Yerusalemu.”
17 Solomon numbered all the foreigners who were in the land of Israel, after the numbering with which David his father had numbered them; and they were found one hundred fifty-three thousand six hundred.
Solomoni anawerenga alendo onse amene anali mu Israeli, potsatira chiwerengero chimene abambo ake Davide anachita ndipo panapezeka kuti analipo anthu 153,600.
18 He set seventy thousand of them to bear burdens, and eighty thousand who were stone cutters in the mountains, and three thousand six hundred overseers to set the people at work.
Iye anayika anthu 70,000 kuti akhale onyamula katundu ndi anthu 80,000 kuti akhale ophwanya miyala mʼmapiri, anthu 3,600 anawayika kukhala akapitawo oyangʼanira anthu pa ntchitoyo.
