2 Chronicles 8
1 Solomon’s [workers] worked for 20 years to build the temple and the king’s palace.
Solomon el musai Tempul ac lohm sin tokosra ke yac longoul.
2 Then his [workers] rebuilt the cities that [King] Hiram had given back to Solomon, and Solomon sent Israelis to live in those cities.
El oayapa sifil musaela siti su Tokosra Hiram el sang lal, ac el supwala mwet Israel in tuh muta we.
3 Solomon’s [army] then went to Hamath-Zobah [town] and captured it.
El mweun ac sruokya acn Hamath ac Zobah,
4 His workers also rebuilt walls around Tadmor [town] in the desert, and in [the] Hamath [region] in all the towns where they kept supplies.
ac el kuhlasak Palmyra, sie siti in acn mwesis. El sifil musaela siti nukewa in acn Hamath, su pa nien filma lalos.
5 They rebuilt Upper Beth-Horon [town] and Lower Beth-Horon [city], and built walls around them with gates [in the walls] and bars [to fasten the gates].
Solomon el oayapa sifil musaela Beth Horon Lucng ac Beth Horon Ten (siti luo inge oasr kalkal we, ac mutunpot we ku in kauli),
6 They also rebuilt Baalath [town] and all the cities where supplies were kept and the cities where Solomon’s chariots and horses were kept. Solomon’s [workers] built whatever he wanted them to build, in Jerusalem and in Lebanon, and in other places in the area that he ruled.
oayapa siti se pangpang Baalath, ac siti nukewa su ma lalos oan we, ac siti ma horse ac chariot natulos oan we. El aksafyela oakwuk nukewa lal nu ke acn Jerusalem ac Lebanon ac in acn nukewa ma el leum fac.
7 Solomon forced people from many other groups who were not Israelis to work for him like slaves. They were people from the Heth, Amor, Periz, Hiv, and Jebus people-groups.
Mwet lula nukewa sin tulik nutin mwet Hit, mwet Amor, mwet Periz, mwet Hiv ac mwet Jebus, su tia mwet Israel.
8 They were descendants of groups whom the Israelis had not completely destroyed. Solomon forced them to become his slaves, and they are still slaves.
Solomon el akkohsyelos nukewa su mwet Israel elos tia uniya, ac elos srakna mwet kohs nwe in pacl inge.
9 But Solomon did not force Israelis to work for him. Israelis became his soldiers and commanders of his chariots and his chariot-drivers.
Tusruktu el tiana akkohsye mwet Israel, a el sang tuh elos in mwet mweun, mwet pwapa, mwet kol fin mwet kasrusr ke chariot, ac mwet kasrusr fin horse.
10 They were also King Solomon’s chief officials. There were 250 of them, and they supervised the workers.
Oasr mwet kol luofoko lumngaul su Tokosra Solomon el sang in liyaung kutena kain in musa.
11 Solomon moved his wife, who was the daughter of the king of Egypt, from [the place outside Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’ to the place that his workers had built for her. He said, “I do not want my wife to live in the palace that [my father] King David’s workers built, because the Sacred Chest [was in that palace for a while], and any place where the Sacred Chest has been is holy.”
Solomon el srakla mutan se kial su acn natul tokosra Egypt, liki Siti sel David nu ke lohm se el musaela sel, ac el fahk, “Mutan se inge ac fah tia muta in lohm sel Tokosra David lun Israel, mweyen kutena acn Tuptup in Wuleang oan we, acn mutal.”
12 On the altar that Solomon’s [workers] had built in front of the entrance [to the temple], Solomon sacrificed many offerings that were to be completely burned.
Solomon el kisakin mwe kisa nu sin LEUM GOD fin loang se el tuh orala ke mutun Tempul ah.
13 He did that to obey the rules about what sacrifices Moses had declared should be made. These included sacrifices for every day and for the Sabbath days and to celebrate each day on which there was a new moon and for the three other festivals that were celebrated each year. Those festivals were the Festival of Eating Unleavened Bread, the Harvest Festival, and the Festival of Living in Temporary Shelters.
El kisakin mwe kisa firir, fal nu ke ma sap Moses el oakiya nu ke kais sie len fulat inge: len Sabbath, Kufwen Malem Sasu, oayapa len in kufwa tolu in yac nukewa, su Kufwen Bread Tia Akpulol, Kufwen Kosrani, ac Kufwen Iwen Aktuktuk.
14 Obeying what his father David had commanded, he appointed the groups of priests for their work, and he appointed the descendants of Levi to lead the people while they sang to praise Yahweh and while they assisted the priests in their daily work. He also appointed groups of them to guard all the gates, because that was also what David, the man who pleased God [very well], had commanded.
El oakiya orekma kunen mwet tol ke kais sie len, oana ma David, papa tumal, el sapkin, oayapa ma kunen mwet Levi su kasru mwet tol ke on ac orekma pac saya lalos. El oayapa oakiya un mwet karingin kais sie nien utyak nu ke Tempul, fal nu ke ma David, mwet lun God, el sapkin.
15 The priests and other descendants of Levi obeyed completely everything that the king commanded, including [taking care of] the storerooms.
Oakwuk nukewa ma David el tuh sang nu sin mwet tol ac mwet Levi nu ke lohm in filma ac kutena ma saya, orekla nufon oana ma sapkinyuk.
16 They did all the work [of building the temple] that Solomon told them to do, until it was all completed. So they finishing building the temple.
Ke ma inge, safla orekma nukewa ma Solomon el orala, mutawauk ke oakiyen pwelung nu ke Tempul lun LEUM GOD, nwe ke safla musa sac, ac ma nukewa wona.
17 Then some of Solomon’s men went to Ezion-Geber and Elath [cities] on the coast of the Red Sea, an area that belonged to the Edom people-group.
Na Solomon el som nu Eziongeber ac Elath, nien oai sisken Meoa Srusra in facl Edom.
18 King Hiram sent to Solomon from [Tyre city] some ships that were commanded by his officers. They were men who were experienced sailors. These men went in the ships with Solomon’s men to [the] Ophir [region] and brought back about 17 tons of gold, which they delivered to King Solomon.
Tokosra Hiram el supwala kutu oak nu yorol, wi mwet fulat lal sifacna ac mwet su yohk etu la ke kalkal. Elos wi mwet fulat lal Solomon oayak ac kal nu in acn Ophir, ac elos use akuran tolngoul luo tausin paun in gold ac sang nu sel Solomon.
