Kronika 2 2
1 Solomo ɖo be yeatu gbedoxɔ na Yehowa ƒe Ŋkɔ kple fiasã na eɖokui.
Then Salomon determined to builde an house for the Name of the Lord, and an house for his kingdome.
2 Ehiã agbatsɔla akpe blaadre, kpekpala akpe blaenyi le toawo dzi kple dɔdzikpɔla akpe etɔ̃ alafa ade na dɔ sia wɔwɔ.
And Salomon tolde out seuentie thousand that bare burdens, and fourescore thousande men to hewe stones in the mountaine, and three thousand and sixe hundreth to ouersee them.
3 Solomo dɔ ame ɖe Fia Hiram le Tiro be woagblɔ nɛ be, “Ɖo sedatikpo siwo tɔgbi nena fofonye David esime wònɔ eƒe fiasã tum la ƒe ɖewo nye hã.
And Salomon sent to Huram the king of Tyrus, saying, As thou hast done to Dauid my father, and didst sende him cedar trees to buylde him an house to dwell in, so do to me.
4 Ke esusɔ vie madze gbedoxɔ aɖe tutu gɔme na Yehowa, nye Mawu la. Anye teƒe aɖe si mate ŋu ado dzudzɔ ʋeʋĩ kple atike ʋeʋĩwo le, le Mawu ŋkume, afi si matsɔ Ŋkumeɖobolo ada ɖo eye masa numevɔ le gbe sia gbe, ŋdi kple fiẽ, le Dzudzɔgbewo, le Ɣleti Yeye ƒe ŋkekenyuiɖugbewo kple Yehowa, mía Mawu la ƒe ŋkekenyui bubuwo dzi elabena Mawu di be Israel naɖu ŋkekenyui tɔxɛ siawo ɣe sia ɣi.
Behold, I buylde an house vnto the Name of the Lord my God, to sanctifie it vnto him, and to burne sweete incense before him, and for the continuall shewbread, and for the burnt offrings of the morning and euening, on the Sabbath dayes, and in the new moneths, and in the solemne feastes of the Lord our God: this is a perpetuall thing for Israel.
5 “Anye gbedoxɔ nyui aɖe elabena míaƒe Mawu la de ŋgɔ, elolo wu mawu bubu ɖe sia ɖe.
And the house which I buylde, is great: for great is our God aboue all gods.
6 Ke ame kae ate ŋu atu xɔ si adzee la nɛ? Dziƒo kɔkɔtɔ kekeake gɔ̃ hã ƒe nyonyo made o! Gawu la, ame kae menye be woaɖe mɔ nam be matu gbedoxɔ na Mawu? Ke anye teƒe aɖe si woado dzudzɔ ʋeʋĩ le eŋkume le.
Who is he then that can be able to buylde him an house, when the heauen, and the heauen of heauens can not conteine him? who am I then that I should buylde him an house? but I do it to burne incense before him.
7 “Eya ta ɖo aɖaŋudɔwɔla siwo wɔa sika, klosalo, gadzĩ kple gayibɔ ŋu dɔ kple avɔlɔ̃lawo be woawɔ aɖabɛ dzĩtɔ, ka dzĩ kple aɖabɛ blɔtɔ ŋu dɔ woakpe ɖe dɔwɔla siwo fofonye David tia da ɖi tso Yuda kple Yerusalem la ŋuti.
Sende me nowe therefore a cunning man that can worke in golde, in siluer, and in brasse, and in yron, and in purple, and crimosin and blue silke, and that can graue in grauen worke with the cunning men that are with me in Iudah and in Ierusalem, whom Dauid my father hath prepared.
8 “Hekpe ɖe esiawo ŋuti la, nàɖo sedatiwo, sesewutiwo kple papawutiwo tso Lebanon ƒe avewo me ɖem elabena ame aɖeke mede wò amewo nu le atitsotso me o. Maɖo nye amewo ɖa be woakpe ɖe wo ŋu.
Sende mee also cedar trees, firre trees and Algummim trees from Lebanon: for I knowe that thy seruants can skill to hewe timber in Lebanon: and beholde, my seruantes shalbe with thine,
9 Mehiã ati sɔ gbɔ elabena gbedoxɔ si tu ge megbɔna la alolo ŋutɔ eye wòanyo wu gbɔgblɔ.
That they may prepare me timber in abundance: for the house which I doe buylde, is great and wonderfull.
10 Adzɔ si mana wò dɔla siwo nye atidzelawo lae nye wɔ meme tɔn akpe ene alafa ene kple lu tɔn akpe ene alafa ene hekpe ɖe wain tɔn alafa ene blaene kple amitimi tɔn alafa ene blaene ŋuti.”
And behold, I will giue to thy seruants the cutters and the hewers of timber twentie thousand measures of beaten wheate, and twentie thousand measures of barley, and twentie thousand baths of wine, and twentie thousand baths of oyle.
11 Tete Tiro fia Hiram ɖo eŋu na Fia Solomo be, “Yehowa lɔ̃ eƒe amewo eya ta wòtsɔ wò ɖo fiae ɖe wo nu!”
Then Huram King of Tyrus answered in writing which he sent to Salomon, Because the Lord hath loued his people, he hath made thee King ouer them.
12 Hiram gagblɔ be, “Woayra Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la, ame si wɔ dziƒo kple anyigba, ame si tsɔ viŋutsu si wòna nunya kple gɔmesesee la na Fia David be wòatu Mawu ƒe gbedoxɔ kple fiasã na eɖokui.
Huram sayd moreouer, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, which made the heauen and the earth, and that hath giuen vnto Dauid the King a wise sonne, that hath discretion, prudence and vnderstanding to buylde an house for the Lord, and a palace for his kingdome.
13 “Mele aɖaŋudɔwɔlawo ƒe amegã aɖe, ame si nye Huram Abi, nunyala xɔŋkɔ aɖe la ɖom ɖe wò.
Now therefore I haue sent a wise man, and of vnderstanding of my father Hurams,
14 Dadaa nye Yuda nyɔnu aɖe tso Dan ƒe viwo dome le Israel eye fofoa tso Tiro afi sia. Enye sikanutula kple klosalonutula nyui aɖe.

The sonne of a woman of the daughters of Dan: and his father was a man of Tyrus, and he can skill to worke in golde, in siluer, in brasse, in yron, in stone, and in timber, in purple, in blue silke, and in fine linen, and in crimosin, and can graue in all grauen workes, and broyder in all broydered worke that shalbe giuen him, with thy cunning men, and with the cunning men of my lord Dauid thy father.
15 “Eya ta ɖo lũ, ƒo, ami kple wain siwo ŋugbe nèdo la ɖe wò dɔla.
Now therefore the wheate and the barley, the oyle and the wine, which my lorde hath spoken of, let him send vnto his seruants.
16 Ekema míadze kpekpakpa kple atitsotso tso Lebanon towo dzi gɔme, woasɔ gbɔ abe ale si nèdi ene. Míada wo ɖe atigbawo dzi ada ɖe atsiaƒua dzi woava ɖo Yopa, ekema àte ŋu alɔ wo tso afi ma ayi Yerusalem.”
And we wil cut wood in Lebanon as much as thou shalt neede, and will bring it to thee in raftes by the sea to Iapho, so thou mayest cary them to Ierusalem.
17 Solomo xlẽ amedzro siwo katã nɔ eƒe Israelnyigba dzi, abe ale si fofoa, Fia David hã wɔ ene eye wòkpɔ be, wole ame akpe alafa ɖeka blaatɔ̃-vɔ-etɔ̃ kple alafa ade.
And Salomon nombred al the strangers that were in the land of Israel, after the nombring that his father Dauid had nombred them: and they were found an hundreth and three and fiftie thousand, and sixe hundreth.
18 Etsɔ wo dometɔ akpe blaadre wɔ agbatetsɔlawo, ame akpe blaenyi wɔ atitsolawo eye wòtsɔ ame akpe etɔ̃ alafa ade wɔ dɔdzikpɔlawoe.
And he set seuentie thousande of them to the burden, and fourescore thousande to hewe stones in the mountaine, and three thousande and sixe hundreth ouerseers to cause the people to worke.
