< 2 Maũndũ 8 >
1 Thuutha wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ, ihinda rĩrĩa Solomoni aahũthĩrire gwaka hekarũ ya Jehova o na nyũmba yake ya ũthamaki-rĩ,
And at the end of twenty years after Solomon had built the house of the Lord and his own house:
2 Solomoni nĩaakire rĩngĩ matũũra marĩa aaheetwo nĩ Hiramu, na akĩmahe andũ a Isiraeli matũũre thĩinĩ wamo.
He built the cities which Hiram had given to Solomon, and caused the children of Israel to dwell there.
3 Solomoni agĩcooka agĩthiĩ Hamathu-Zoba na akĩrĩtaha.
He went also into Emath Suba, and possessed it.
4 Ningĩ agĩcooka agĩaka Tadimori kũu werũ-inĩ na matũũra manene mothe marĩa aakĩte kũu Hamathu ma kũigwo indo.
And he built Palmira in the desert, and he built other strong cities in Emath.
5 Nĩaakire Bethi-Horoni ya Mwena wa Igũrũ, na Bethi-Horoni ya Mwena wa Mũhuro rĩngĩ, marĩ matũũra manene mairige, marĩ na thingo, na ihingo, na mĩgĩĩko ya igera,
And he built Beth-horon the upper, and Beth-horon the nether, walled cities with Rates and bars and locks.
6 o ũndũ ũmwe na Baalathu, na matũũra make mothe manene ma kũiga indo, na matũũra make mothe manene ma ngaari cia mbaara na mbarathi ciake, na agĩaka kĩrĩa gĩothe eerirĩirie kũu Jerusalemu, na Lebanoni, o na kũndũ guothe bũrũri-inĩ ũrĩa aathanaga.
Balaath also and all the strong cities that were Solomon’s, and all the cities of the chariots, and the cities of the horsemen. All that Solomon had a mind, and designed, he built in Jerusalem and in Libanus, and in all the land of his dominion.
7 Andũ othe arĩa maatigaire kuuma kũrĩ Ahiti, na Aamori, na Aperizi, na Ahivi, na Ajebusi (nao andũ acio matiarĩ Aisiraeli),
All the people that were left of the Hethites, and the Amorrhites, and the Pherezites, and the Hevites, and the Jebusites, that were not of the stock of Israel:
8 ũguo nĩ kuuga atĩ, njiaro ciao iria ciatigarĩte bũrũri-inĩ, iria andũ a Isiraeli mataaninĩte, acio nĩo maandĩkithirio nĩ Solomoni matuĩke ngombo ciake cia kũrutithio wĩra na hinya, na noguo gũtũire nginya ũmũthĩ.
Of their children, and of the posterity, whom the children of Israel had not slain, Solomon made to be the tributaries, unto this day.
9 No Solomoni ndaatuire andũ a Isiraeli ngombo cia wĩra wake; acio nĩo maarĩ andũ ake a kũrũa mbaara, o na aathi a anene ake, na aathi a ngaari ciake cia ita, na atwari a ngaari icio.
But of the children of Israel he set none to serve in the king’s works: for they were men of war, and chief captains, and rulers of his chariots and horsemen.
10 O na ningĩ no-o maarĩ atongoria anene a Mũthamaki Solomoni, maarĩ anene 250 a kũrũgamĩrĩra andũ acio.
And all the chief captains of king Solomon’s army were two hundred and fifty, who taught the people.
11 Solomoni akĩruta mwarĩ wa Firaũni kuuma Itũũra Inene rĩa Daudi, akĩmũrehe nyũmba ya ũthamaki ĩrĩa aamwakĩire, tondũ oigire atĩrĩ, “Mũtumia wakwa ndangĩtũũra nyũmba ya Mũthamaki Daudi, mũthamaki wa Isiraeli, nĩgũkorwo kũndũ kũrĩa ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa Jehova rĩtoonyete nĩ gũtheru.”
And he removed the daughter of Pharao from the city of David, to the house which he had built for her. For the king said: My wife shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, for it is sanctified: because the ark of the Lord came into it.
12 Igũrũ rĩa kĩgongona kĩa Jehova kĩrĩa Solomoni aakĩte mbere ya gĩthaku, hau nĩho Solomoni arutĩire Jehova maruta ma njino,
Then Solomon offered holocausts to the Lord upon the altar of the Lord which he had built before the porch,
13 O ta ũrĩa maabataranĩtie kũrutwo o mũthenya nĩ ũndũ wa maruta marĩa Musa aathanĩte ma Thabatũ, na ma Tũrũgamo twa Mweri, na ma ciathĩ ithatũ cia o mwaka, nĩcio Gĩathĩ kĩa Mĩgate ĩtarĩ Mĩĩkĩre Ndawa ya Kũimbia, na Gĩathĩ gĩa Ciumia, na Gĩathĩ gĩa Ithũnũ.
That every day an offering might be made on it according to the ordinance of Moses, in the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the festival days three times a year, that is to say, in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles.
14 Kũrũmanĩrĩra na wathani ũrĩa watuĩtwo nĩ ithe Daudi, nĩamũrire ikundi cia athĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩ ũndũ wa mawĩra mao, o na Alawii nĩguo matongoragie hĩndĩ ya kũgooca na ningĩ mateithagĩrĩrie athĩnjĩri-Ngai kũringana na mabataro ma o mũthenya. Ningĩ nĩamũrire ikundi cia arangĩri a ihingo marangagĩre ihingo mwanya mwanya, tondũ ũguo nĩguo Daudi, mũndũ wa Ngai, aathanĩte.
And he appointed according to the order of David his father the offices of the priests in their ministries: and the Levites in their order to give praise, and minister before the priests according to the duty of every day: and the porters in their divisions by gate and gate: for so David the man of God had commanded.
15 Nao matiatigire kũrũmĩrĩra watho ũrĩa mũthamaki aathĩte athĩnjĩri-Ngai kana Alawii ũndũ-inĩ o wothe hamwe na ũmenyereri wa igĩĩna.
And the priests and Levites departed not from the king’s commandments, as to any thing that he had commanded, and as to the keeping of the treasures.
16 Wĩra wa Solomoni wothe nĩwahingirio kuuma mũthenya ũrĩa mũthingi wa hekarũ ya Jehova wakirwo nginya ĩkĩrĩka. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio hekarũ ya Jehova ĩkĩrĩkio gwakwo.
Solomon had all charges prepared, from the day that he founded the house of the Lord, until the day wherein he finished it.
17 Ningĩ Solomoni agĩthiĩ Ezioni-Geberi na Elathu hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia Edomu.
Then Solomon went to Asiongaber, and to Ailath, on the coast of the Red Sea, which is in the land of Edom.
18 Nake Hiramu akĩmũtũmĩra marikabu irũgamĩrĩirwo nĩ anene ake, andũ arĩa mooĩ ũhoro wa iria. Andũ acio, hamwe na andũ a Solomoni magĩtwarithia marikabu nginya Ofiri na magĩcooka makĩrehe taranda 450 cia thahabu, iria maatwarĩire Mũthamaki Solomoni.
And Hiram sent him ships by the hands of his servants, and skillful mariners, and they went with Solomon’s servants to Ophir, and they took thence four hundred and fifty talents of gold, and brought it to king Solomon.
