< 2 Chronicles 8 >
1 And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, in which Solomon had built the house of the LORD, and his own house,
Le ƒe blaeve megbe esi Solomo tu Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la kple eya ŋutɔ ƒe fiasã la vɔ la,
2 That the cities which Huram had restored to Solomon, Solomon built them, and caused the children of Israel to dwell there.
Solomo gbugbɔ kɔƒe siwo Hiram tso nɛ la tu eye wòna Israelviwo yi ɖanɔ wo me.
3 And Solomon went to Hamathzobah, and prevailed against it.
Ɣeyiɣi sia me kee Solomo ho aʋa ɖe Hamat Zoba du la ŋu eye wòɖu edzi.
4 And he built Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the store cities, which he built in Hamath.
Etso Tadmɔ du la ɖe gbegbe kple du bubuwo ɖe Hamat abe nudzraɖoƒe duwo ene.
5 Also he built Bethhoron the upper, and Bethhoron the lower, fortified cities, with walls, gates, and bars;
Eglã Bet Horon du dzigbetɔ kple Bet Horon anyigbetɔ siaa. Eɖo gli ƒo xlã wo, de gakpogbowo kple gametiwo wo nu.
6 And Baalath, and all the store cities that Solomon had, and all the chariot cities, and the cities of the horsemen, and all that Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and throughout all the land of his dominion.
Etu Baalat kple nudzraɖoƒe du bubuwo le ɣeyiɣi sia me, etso du siwo me wòda eƒe tasiaɖamwo kple sɔwo ɖo eye wòtu xɔ siwo katã dzroe la ɖe Yerusalem kple Lebanon kple teƒe bubu vovovowo le anyigba si dzi wònye fia ɖo.
7 As for all the people that were left of the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of Israel,
Ame siwo katã susɔ le Hititɔwo, Amoritɔwo, Perizitɔwo, Hivitɔwo kple Yebusitɔwo dome (ame siwo menye Israelviwo o),
8 But of their children, who were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel consumed not, them did Solomon force to pay tribute until this day.
Woawoe nye ame siwo nɔ anyigba la dzi tsã ƒe dzidzimeviwo ame siwo Israelviwo metsrɔ̃ o la. Fia Solomo na wowɔ dɔ abe kluviwo ene abe ale si wòle va se ɖe egbe ene.
9 But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no servants for his work; but they were men of war, and chief of his captains, and captains of his chariots and horsemen.
Ke metsɔ Israelviwo ya wɔ kluviwo o, ke boŋ ena wozu asrafowo, asrafomegãwo, le aʋafiawo, tasiaɖamkulawo dzikpɔlawo kple sɔdolawo nu;
10 And these were the chief of king Solomon’s officers, even two hundred and fifty, that bore rule over the people.
hekpe ɖe dziɖuɖu ƒe dɔdzikpɔla alafa eve blaatɔ̃, ame siwo kpɔa dukɔmenyawo katã dzi la ŋu.
11 And Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharaoh from 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 are holy, where the ark of the LORD hath come.
Solomo kplɔ srɔ̃a si nye Fia Farao ƒe vinyɔnu la dzoe tso Yerusalem ƒe akpa si woyɔna be David ƒe Du la me yi fiasã yeye si wotu nɛ la me elabena egblɔ be, “Mele be srɔ̃nye nanɔ Fia David ƒe fiasã me o elabena Yehowa ƒe nubablaɖaka la nɔ afi ma kpɔ eye wònye teƒe kɔkɔe.”
12 Then Solomon offered burnt offerings to the LORD on the altar of the LORD, which he had built before the porch,
Solomo sa numevɔwo na Yehowa le Yehowa ƒe vɔsamlekpui si wòɖi ɖe akpata si le gbedoxɔ la ŋgɔ la dzi.
13 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 solemn feasts, three times in the year, even in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles.
Wosaa vɔ siawo ɖe gbe sia gbe ƒe hiahiãwo nu abe ale si dze ene, ɖe Dzudzɔgbewo, Dzinu Yeyewo kple ŋkekenyui etɔ̃ siwo woɖuna le ƒea me la nu. Esiawoe nye Abolo Maʋamaʋã ƒe Ŋkekenyui, Kɔsiɖawo ƒe Ŋkekenyui kple Agbadɔ ƒe Ŋkekenyui.
14 And he appointed, according to the order of David his father, the courses of the priests to their service, and the Levites to their offices, to praise and minister before the priests, as the duty of every day required: the porters also by their courses at every gate: for so had David the man of God commanded.
Be wòalé fofoa David ƒe ɖoɖowo me ɖe asi la, etia nunɔlawo ɖe woƒe hatsotsowo me hena woƒe dɔdeasiwo wɔwɔ eye Levitɔwo hã be woanɔ ŋgɔ le kafukafuhawo dzidzime eye woakpe ɖe nunɔlaawo ŋu le gbe sia gbe ƒe hiahiãwo nu. Nenema ke wòtia agbonudzɔlawo ɖe woƒe hatsotsowo me hena agbo vovovoawo ŋu dzɔdzɔ elabena esiae David, Mawu ƒe ame la, ɖo da ɖi.
15 And they departed not from the commandment of the king to the priests and Levites concerning any matter, or concerning the treasuries.
Womeda le fia la ƒe sededewo na nunɔlawo alo Levitɔwo dzi le nya aɖeke me o. Nenema kee nye nudzraɖoƒewo ƒe nyawo hã.
16 Now all the work of Solomon was prepared to the day of the foundation of the house of the LORD, and until it was finished. So the house of the LORD was perfected.
Wowɔ dɔ siwo katã Solomo de tome be yeawɔ la tso gbe si gbe wòɖo Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la ƒe gɔmeɖokpe anyi va se ɖe esime wowu enu. Ale wowu Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la tutu nu.
17 Then went Solomon to Eziongeber, and to Eloth, at the sea side in the land of Edom.
Solomo yi Ezion Geber kple Elat le Edom ƒuta.
18 And Huram sent to him by the hands of his servants ships, and servants that had knowledge of the sea; and they went with the servants of Solomon to Ophir, and took from there four hundred and fifty talents of gold, and brought them to king Solomon.
Hiram ɖo tɔdziʋu siwo eya ŋutɔ ƒe amewo, ame siwo nya atsiaƒu ŋu dɔ wɔwɔ nyuie la ku la ɖee. Ame siawo kple Solomo ƒe amewo yi Ofir eye wotsɔ sika kilo akpe wuiatɔ̃ vɛ na Fia Solomo.
