< 2 Chronicles 2 >
1 And Solomon saith to build a house for the name of Jehovah, and a house for his kingdom,
Solomọn nyere iwu ka e wuo ụlọ nso ukwu nye Aha Onyenwe anyị, ka e wuokwara ya bụ Solomọn ụlọeze.
2 and Solomon numbereth seventy thousand men bearing burden, and eighty thousand men hewing in the mountain, and overseers over them — three thousand and six hundred.
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 And Solomon sendeth unto Huram king of Tyre, saying, 'When thou hast dealt with David my father, then thou dost send to him cedars to build for him a house to dwell in;
Solomọn zigara Hiram eze Taịa ozi sị ya, “Zidatara m osisi sida dịka i mere nʼoge nna m Devid wuru ụlọeze nke ya.
4 lo, I am building a house to the name of Jehovah my God, to sanctify [it] to Him, to make perfume before Him, perfume of spices, and a continual arrangement, and burnt-offerings at morning and at evening, at sabbaths, and at new moons, and at appointed seasons of Jehovah our God; to the age this [is] on 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 'And the house that I am building [is] great, for greater [is] our God than all gods;
“Ụlọnsọ m ga-ewu ga-adị ukwuu nʼihi na Chineke anyị dị ukwuu karịa chi ndị ọzọ niile.
6 and who doth retain strength to build to Him a house, for the heavens, even the heavens of the heavens, do not contain Him? and who [am] I that I do build to Him a house, except to make perfume 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 'And now, send to me a wise man to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in iron, and in purple, and crimson, and blue, and knowing to grave gravings with the wise men who [are] with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father prepared;
“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 and send to me cedar-trees, firs, and algums from Lebanon, for I have known that thy servants know to cut down trees of Lebanon, and lo, my servants [are] with thy 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 even to prepare for me trees in abundance, for the house that I am building [is] great and wonderful.
ime ka osisi ha ga-egbutere m dị ukwuu, nʼihi na ya bụ ụlọnsọ ga-ebu ibu, maakwa mma.
10 'And lo, to hewers, to those cutting the trees, I have given beaten wheat to thy servants, cors twenty thousand, and barley, cors twenty thousand, and wine, baths twenty thousand, and oil, baths twenty thousand.'
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 And Huram king of Tyre saith in writing, and sendeth unto Solomon: 'In the love of Jehovah to His people He hath given thee 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 And Huram saith, 'Blessed [is] Jehovah, God of Israel, who made the heavens and the earth, who hath given to David the king a wise son, knowing wisdom and understanding, who doth build a house for Jehovah, and a house for his kingdom.
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 'And now, I have sent a wise man having understanding, of Huram my father,
“Ana m ezitere gị Huram-Abi, onye ọka maara ọrụ ya nke ọma.
14 (son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, and his father a man of Tyre), knowing to work in gold, and in silver, in brass, in iron, in stones, and in wood, in purple, in blue, and in fine linen, and in crimson, and to grave any graving, and to devise any device that is given to him, with thy wise men, and the wise men of my lord David thy 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 'And, now, the wheat, and the barley, the oil, and the wine, as my lord said, let him send 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 and we — we cut trees out of Lebanon, according to all thy need, and bring them in to thee — floats by sea, to Joppa, and thou dost take them 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 And Solomon numbereth all the men, the sojourners who [are] in the land of Israel, after the numbering with which David his father numbered them, and they are found a hundred and fifty thousand, and three thousand, and six hundred;
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 and he maketh of them seventy thousand burden-bearers, and eighty thousand hewers in the mountain, and three thousand and six hundred overseers, to cause 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.
