2 Chronicles 2
1 Now Solomon commanded the building of a house for Yahweh's name and the building of a palace for his kingdom.
Solomọn nyere iwu ka e wuo ụlọ nso ukwu nye Aha Onyenwe anyị, ka e wuokwara ya bụ Solomọn ụlọeze.
2 Solomon assigned seventy thousand men to carry loads, and eighty thousand men as stonecutters in the mountains, and 3,600 men to supervise them.
O manyere ndị ọrụ ọnụọgụgụ ha dị iri puku asaa na-ebu ibu, na ndị na-awa nkume nʼugwu ọnụọgụgụ ha dị iri puku asatọ, na ndị o doro dịka ndịisi ha, ọnụọgụgụ ha dị puku atọ na narị isii.
3 Solomon sent a message to Hiram, the king of Tyre, saying, “As you did with David my father, sending him cedar logs to build a house to live in, do the same with me.
Solomọn zigara Hiram eze Taịa ozi sị ya, “Zidatara m osisi sida dịka i mere nʼoge nna m Devid wuru ụlọeze nke ya.
4 See, I am about to build a house for the name of Yahweh my God, to set it apart to him, to burn incense of sweet spices before him, to set out the bread of the presence, and for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the Sabbaths and on the new moons, and on the appointed feasts for Yahweh our God. This is forever, for Israel.
Ugbu a, ana m akwado iwu ụlọnsọ ukwu nye Aha Onyenwe anyị Chineke m, na ido ya nsọ nye ya maka ịchụ aja nsure ọkụ na-esi isi ụtọ nʼihu ya, na idebe nʼebe ahụ achịcha nsọ a na-edo nʼusoro mgbe niile. Na isure aja nsure ọkụ ụtụtụ na anyasị, na nʼụbọchị izuike niile, na nʼọnwa ọhụrụ na nʼoge mmemme ndị ọzọ niile a kara aka nke Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị. Nke a bụ ụkpụrụ na-adịgide nye ụmụ Izrel ruo ebighị ebi.
5 The house that I will build will be very large, for our God is greater than all other gods.
“Ụlọnsọ m ga-ewu ga-adị ukwuu nʼihi na Chineke anyị dị ukwuu karịa chi ndị ọzọ niile.
6 But who is able to build God a house, since the entire universe and even heaven itself cannot contain him? Who am I to build him a house, except to burn sacrifices before him?
Ma onye pụrụ iwu ụlọnsọ nye ya, ebe ọ bụ na eluigwe, ọbụladị ebe kachasị elu nke eluigwe, ezughị ịba gị? Onye ka mụ onwe m bụ, na m ga-ewu ụlọnsọ nye ya, ma ọ bụghị naanị ebe a ga-anọ chụọ aja dị iche iche nʼihu ya?
7 So send me a man who is skilled at work in gold, silver, bronze, iron, and in purple, crimson, and blue wool, a man who knows how to make all kinds of engraved wood. He will be with the skilled men who are with me in Judah and Jerusalem, whom David my father provided.
“Zitere m, onye ǹka, onye maara otu e si eji ọlaedo na ọlaọcha, na bronz, na igwe arụ ọrụ. Onye bụkwa onye maara ọrụ ǹka metụtara akwa dị iche iche, akwa ngwakọta anụnụ na uhie, na nke uhie uhie, na nke anụnụ anụnụ. Ọ ga-abụkwa onye igbunye akara nʼihe doro anya, onye ga-arụ ọrụ na Juda na nʼime Jerusalem, ebe ọ ga-eso ndị ǹka m, bụ ndị nna m Devid họpụtara rụọ ọrụ.
8 Send me also cedar, cypress, and algum trees from Lebanon, for I know that your servants know how to cut timber in Lebanon. See, my servants will be with your servants,
“Zitekwara m osisi sida, na osisi junipa, na osisi algụm, ndị sitere nʼọhịa Lebanọn, nʼihi na ndị gị bụ ọkachamara nʼọrụ ịwa osisi. Aga m ezitekwa ndị m ga-abịa soro ha rụọ ọrụ,
9 in order to prepare for me timber in abundance, for the house which I am about to build will be great and marvelous.
ime ka osisi ha ga-egbutere m dị ukwuu, nʼihi na ya bụ ụlọnsọ ga-ebu ibu, maakwa mma.
10 See, I will give to your servants, the men who will cut the timber, twenty thousand cors of ground wheat, twenty thousand cors of barley, twenty thousand baths of wine, and twenty thousand baths of oil.”
Aga m enye ndị ọrụ gị, bụ ndị na-awa osisi, narị puku bushel na iri puku bushel ọka wiiti abụọ a kwọrọ akwọ, na narị puku bushel na iri puku bushel ọka balị abụọ, na narị puku galọọnụ ite mmanya vaịnị na iri galọọnụ abụọ, nakwa narị puku galọọnụ mmanụ na iri galọọnụ mmanụ oliv abụọ.”
11 Then Hiram, the king of Tyre, answered in writing, which he sent to Solomon: “Because Yahweh loves his people, he has made you king over them.”
Hiram, eze Taịa zighachiiri Solomọn akwụkwọ ozi sị ya. “Ọ bụ nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị hụrụ ndị ya nʼanya ka o ji mee gị eze ha.”
12 In addition, Hiram said, “Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, who made heaven and earth, who has given to David the king a wise son, gifted with prudence and understanding, who will build a house for Yahweh and a palace for himself.
Hiram kwukwara sị, “Otuto dịrị Onyenwe anyị, bụ Chineke Izrel. Onye kere eluigwe na ụwa. Onye nyere Devid, bụ eze, nwa nwere nghọta na akọnuche dị otu a, iwuru Onyenwe anyị ebe obibi, na iwukwa ụlọeze nke aka ya.
13 Now I have sent a skillful man, Huram-Abi, who is gifted with understanding.
“Ana m ezitere gị Huram-Abi, onye ọka maara ọrụ ya nke ọma.
14 He is the son of a woman of the daughters of Dan. His father was a man from Tyre. He is skilled at work in gold, silver, bronze, iron, stone, and in timber, and in purple, blue, and crimson wool, and fine linen. He is also skilled in making any kind of engraving and in making any kind of design. Let a place be made for him among your skilled workers, and with those of my master, David, your father.
Onye nne ya si nʼebo Dan nke dị nʼIzrel, ma nna ya bụ onye Taịa. Ọ bụ onye a zụrụ nʼọrụ ịkpụ ụzụ nke ọma, nʼihe gbasara ọlaedo, na ọlaọcha, na bronz, na igwe, na nkume, na osisi. Ọ makwa otu e si eji akwa odo odo, na akwa anụnụ anụnụ, na akwa uhie uhie na ezi akwa ọcha arụ ọrụ. Igbunye ụdị akara ọbụla nʼihe nakwa ichepụta ihe ọ ga-eji ihe ọbụla enyere ya mee doro ya anya nke ọma. Ọ ga-esonye ndị ǹka gị, na ndị nke onyenwe m Devid, bụ nna gị.
15 Now then, the wheat and the barley, the oil and the wine, of which my master has spoken, let him send these things to his servants.
“Ugbu a, ka onyenwe m zitere ndị ohu ya ọka wiiti ahụ, na ọka balị, na mmanya vaịnị, na mmanụ oliv, dịka ọ kwere na nkwa.
16 We will cut wood from Lebanon, as much wood as you need. We will take it to you as rafts by sea to Joppa, and you will carry it up to Jerusalem.”
Anyị ga-egbutu osisi niile ị chọrọ site nʼugwu Lebanọn, sitekwa nʼosimiri budata ha obodo Jopa, ebe i nwere ike isite buruo ha Jerusalem.”
17 Solomon counted all the foreigners who were in the land of Israel, following the method that David, his father, had counted them. They were found to be 153,600.
Emesịa, Solomọn gụrụ ndị ọbịa niile bi nʼala Izrel ọnụ, dịka Devid mere, achọpụtara na ha dị narị puku iri ise na atọ, na narị isii.
18 He assigned seventy thousand of them to carry loads, eighty thousand to be stonecutters in the mountains, and 3,600 to be supervisors to put the people to work.
O mere iri puku ndị ọrụ asaa nʼime ha ka ha bụrụ ndị na-ebu ibu, na ọnụọgụgụ dị iri puku asatọ ka ha bụrụ ndị ga-awa nkume, meekwa puku ndị ikom atọ na narị isii, ndị ga-abụ ndịisi ọrụ ime ka ọrụ na-aga nke ọma.
