2 Chronicles 8
1 And it was from [the] end of - twenty year[s] which he built Solomon [the] house of Yahweh and own house his.
Miaka ishirini ilipopita, ambayo katika hiyo Solomoni alilijenga Hekalu la Bwana na jumba lake mwenyewe la kifalme,
2 And the cities which he had given Huram to Solomon he rebuilt Solomon them and he caused to dwell there [the] people of Israel.
Solomoni akajenga tena vijiji vile ambavyo Hiramu alikuwa amempa, naye akawapa Waisraeli waishi humo.
3 And he went Solomon to Hamath Zobah and he prevailed over it.
Kisha Solomoni akaenda Hamath-Soba na kuuteka.
4 And he built Tadmor in the wilderness and all [the] cities of storage which he built in Hamath.
Pia akajenga mji wa Tadmori katika jangwa na miji yote ya kuhifadhia vitu katika Hamathi.
5 And he built Beth Horon upper and Beth Horon lower cities of fortification walls doors and bar[s].
Akajenga tena Beth-Horoni ya Juu na Beth-Horoni ya Chini, miji yenye ngome, kuta, malango na makomeo.
6 And Baalath and all [the] cities of storage which they belonged to Solomon and all [the] cities of chariotry and [the] cities of the horsemen and - all [the] desire of Solomon which he desired to build in Jerusalem and in Lebanon and in all [the] land of dominion his.
Solomoni pia akajenga Baalathi na miji yake yote ya kuhifadhia vitu, na miji kwa ajili ya magari yake na kwa ajili ya farasi wake, chochote alichotaka kujenga katika Yerusalemu, katika Lebanoni na katika nchi yote aliyotawala.
7 All the people which remained of the Hittite[s] and the Amorite[s] and the Perizzite[s] and the Hivite[s] and the Jebusite[s] which not [were] from Israel they.
Watu wote waliosalia kutoka kwa Wahiti, Waamori, Waperizi, Wahivi na Wayebusi (haya mataifa hayakuwa Waisraeli),
8 Some of descendants their who they remained after them in the land whom not they had destroyed them [the] people of Israel and he brought up them Solomon to forced labor until the day this.
yaani, wazao wao waliobakia katika nchi, ambao Waisraeli hawakuwa wamewaangamiza: hawa Solomoni akawalazimisha kuwa watumwa katika shokoa, kama ilivyo hadi leo.
9 And of [the] people of Israel whom not he made Solomon into slaves for work his for they [were] men of war and [the] commanders of officers his and [the] commanders of chariotry his and horsemen his.
Lakini Solomoni hakuwafanya Waisraeli watumwa kwa ajili ya kazi yake, bali walikuwa wapiganaji, majemadari, maafisa wake, majemadari wa magari yake ya vita na waendesha magari ya vita.
10 And these [were] [the] commanders of (the overseers *Q(K)*) who [belonged] to the king Solomon fifty and two hundred who ruled over the people.
Pia walikuwa maafisa wakuu wa Mfalme Solomoni, yaani, maafisa wakaguzi 250 waliosimamia watu.
11 And [the] daughter of Pharaoh he brought up Solomon from [the] city of David to the house which he had built for her for he said not she will dwell a wife of me in [the] house of David [the] king of Israel for [are] holiness they [places] where it has come to them [the] ark of Yahweh.
Solomoni akampandisha mke wake binti Farao kutoka Mji wa Daudi na kumleta jumba la kifalme alilokuwa amemjengea, kwa kuwa alisema, “Mke wangu hataishi katika jumba la kifalme la Daudi mfalme wa Israeli, kwa sababu mahali ambapo Sanduku la Bwana limefika ni patakatifu.”
12 Then he offered up Solomon burnt offerings to Yahweh on [the] altar of Yahweh which he had built before the porch.
Mfalme Solomoni akamtolea Bwana dhabihu za kuteketezwa juu ya madhabahu ya Bwana ambayo alikuwa ameijenga mbele ya ukumbi,
13 And a matter of a day in a day to offer up according to [the] commandment of Moses for the sabbaths and for the new moons and for the appointed times three times in the year at [the] festival of the unleavened bread and at [the] festival of the weeks and at [the] festival of booths.
kulingana na mahitaji ya kila siku kwa ajili ya sadaka zilizoamriwa na Mose kwa ajili ya Sabato, Mwezi Mwandamo na sikukuu nyingine tatu za mwaka, yaani, Sikukuu ya Mikate Isiyotiwa Chachu, Sikukuu ya Majuma na Sikukuu ya Vibanda.
14 And he appointed according to [the] ordinance of David father his [the] divisions of the priests on service their and the Levites on duties their to praise and to serve before the priests to [the] matter of a day in day its and the gatekeepers by divisions their for a gate and a gate for [was] thus [the] commandment of David [the] man of God.
Kwa kushika maagizo ya Daudi baba yake, aliweka migawanyo ya makuhani kwa ajili ya kazi zao, nao Walawi kuongoza kusifu na kusaidia makuhani kufuatana na mahitaji ya kila siku. Pia akaweka mabawabu katika migawanyo kwa ajili ya malango mbalimbali, kwa sababu hili ndilo Daudi mtu wa Mungu alilokuwa ameagiza.
15 And not they turned aside [the] command of the king on the priests and the Levites to any matter and to the treasuries.
Nao hawakuziacha amri za mfalme alizoamuru makuhani au Walawi katika jambo lolote, ikiwa ni pamoja na zile za hazina.
16 And it was arranged all [the] work of Solomon until the day of [the] foundation of [the] house of Yahweh and until was complete it [was] complete [the] house of Yahweh.
Kazi yote ya Mfalme Solomoni ilifanyika kuanzia siku msingi wa Hekalu la Bwana ulipowekwa mpaka kukamilika kwake. Kwa hiyo Hekalu la Bwana likamalizika kujengwa.
17 Then he went Solomon to Ezion Geber and to Elath on [the] shore of the sea in [the] land of Edom.
Ndipo Solomoni akaenda Esion-Geberi na Elathi katika pwani ya Edomu.
18 And he sent to him Huram by [the] hand of servants his (ships *Q(k)*) and servants [who] knew [the] sea and they went with [the] servants of Solomon Ophir towards and they took from there four hundred and fifty talent[s] of gold and they brought [it] to the king Solomon.
Naye Hiramu alimpelekea meli zilizoongozwa na maafisa wake mwenyewe, watu waliokuwa na ujuzi wa baharini. Hawa watu pamoja na wale wa Solomoni wakasafiri kwa bahari mpaka Ofiri, wakaleta kutoka huko talanta 450 za dhahabu, ambazo walimkabidhi Mfalme Solomoni.
