1 Ndị Eze 5
1 Mgbe Hiram eze Taịa nụrụ na eteela Solomọn mmanụ ịbụ eze nʼọnọdụ nna ya Devid, o zipụrụ ndị ozi ya ijekwuru Solomọn, nʼihi na ya na Devid bụ enyi, dịrịkwa na mma.
And Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants to Solomon; for he had heard that they had anointed him king in the room of his father: for Hiram was ever a lover of David.
2 Mgbe ahụ, Solomọn zigara Hiram ozi, sị ya:
And Solomon sent to Hiram, saying,
3 “Ị maara na Devid nna m enweghị ike iwu ụlọnsọ ukwuu nye Aha Onyenwe anyị Chineke ya, nʼihi agha niile ọ lụrụ mgbe ọ dị ndụ. Ọ nọkwa na-eche ka Onyenwe anyị nye ya udo.
Thou knowest how that David my father could not build a house to the name of the LORD his God, for the wars which were about him on every side, until the LORD put them under the soles of his feet.
4 Ugbu a, Onyenwe anyị Chineke m enyela m udo nʼakụkụ ọbụla. Enwekwaghị m ndị iro, ma ọ bụkwanụ ihe ndakwasị ọjọọ ọbụla.
But now the LORD my God hath given me rest on every side, [so that there is] neither adversary nor evil occurrent.
5 Nʼihi ya, ana m achọ iwu ụlọnsọ ukwu nye Aha Onyenwe anyị Chineke m, dịka Onyenwe anyị gwara nna m Devid mgbe ọ sịrị ya, ‘Nwa gị nwoke, onye m ga-eme ka ọ nọdụ nʼocheeze gị, ga-ewu ụlọnsọ ukwu nye Aha m.’
And behold, I purpose to build a house to the name of the LORD my God, as the LORD spoke to David my father, saying, Thy son, whom I will set upon thy throne in thy room, he shall build a house to my name.
6 “Ya mere, nye iwu ka e gbutuoro m osisi sida nke Lebanọn. Ndị ọrụ m ga-esoro ndị nke gị nʼọrụ a. Aga m akwụ gị ihe ọbụla i kpebiri bụ ụgwọ ọrụ ha. Ị maara na anyị enweghị ndị ọka igbutu osisi dịka ndị Saịdọn.”
Now therefore command thou, that they hew me cedar trees out of Lebanon; and my servants shall be with thy servants: and to thee will I give hire for thy servants according to all that thou shalt appoint: for thou knowest that [there is] not among us any that is skilled in hewing timber like the Sidonians.
7 Mgbe Hiram nụrụ ozi Solomọn ziri, obi tọrọ ya ụtọ nke ukwuu. O kwuru sị, “Otuto dịrị Onyenwe anyị taa, nʼihi na o nyela Devid nwa nwoke nwere amamihe ịchị mba ukwuu a.”
And it came to pass, when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly, and said, Blessed [be] the LORD this day, who hath given to David a wise son over this great people.
8 Ya mere, Hiram zigaara Solomọn ozi sị, “Anụla m ozi i ziteere m. Aga m emekwa ihe niile dịka i kwuru banyere i budatara gị osisi sida na osisi junipa.
And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, I have considered the things which thou sentest to me for: [and] I will perform all thy desire concerning timber of cedar, and concerning timber of fir.
9 Ndị ohu m ga-esi nʼugwu Lebanọn budaruo ha nʼosimiri Mediterenịa. A ga-ekekọta ha ọnụ, zitere gị ha nʼebe ị chọrọ ịnọ buru ha. Mgbe ha sere nʼelu mmiri rute ebe ị chọrọ, anyị ga-atọsakwara gị ha, ka i buru ha. Ma gị onwe gị ga-eme ihe bụ ọchịchọ m, site na-inye ndị ụlọ m ihe oriri.”
My servants shall bring [them] down from Lebanon to the sea: and I will convey them by sea in floats to the place that thou shalt appoint me, and will cause them to be discharged there, and thou shalt receive [them]: and thou shalt accomplish my desire, in giving food for my household.
10 Nʼụzọ dị otu a, Hiram nọgidere na-ezitere Solomọn osisi sida na junipa niile ọ chọrọ.
So Hiram gave Solomon cedar trees and fir trees [according to] all his desire.
11 Solomọn nyere Hiram na ezinaụlọ ya narị puku bushel, na iri puku bushel ọka wiiti abụọ, ka ọ bụrụ ihe oriri nye ezinaụlọ ya, tinyekwara narị puku galọọnụ, na iri puku galọọnụ abụọ nke mmanụ oliv asụrụ asụ. Solomọn nọgidere na-enye Hiram ihe ndị a kwa afọ.
And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand measures of wheat [for] food to his household, and twenty measures of pure oil: thus gave Solomon to Hiram year by year.
12 Onyenwe anyị nyere Solomọn amamihe dị ukwuu dịka o kwere ya na nkwa. Hiram na Solomọn nwere mmekọ udo, ha abụọ gbakwara ndụ.
And the LORD gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him: and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon; and they two made a league together.
13 Eze Solomọn, sitere nʼakụkụ Izrel niile kpọbata ndị ọrụ mmanye ọnụọgụgụ ha dị iri puku atọ.
And king Solomon raised a levy out of all Israel; and the levy was thirty thousand men.
14 Nʼotu ọnwa, ọ na-eziga puku mmadụ iri nʼime ndị a ka ha gaa Lebanọn ịrụ ọrụ. Nʼọnwa ọzọ, ọ na-ezigakwa puku mmadụ iri ka ha gaa gbanwee ndị buuru ụzọ gaa. Nʼụzọ dị otu a, otu ụzọ nʼime iri puku mmadụ atọ ndị a na-anọ na Lebanọn otu ọnwa maka ịrụ ọrụ, ma ha na-alọta zuo ike ọnwa abụọ. Adoniram bụ onyeisi ndị ọrụ mmanye a.
And he sent them to Lebanon ten thousand a month by courses; a month they were in Lebanon, [and] two months at home. And Adoniram [was] over the levy.
15 Solomọn nwere ndị ọrụ ọzọ ọnụọgụgụ ha dị iri puku asaa na-ebu ibu, nweekwa ndị na-awa nkume nʼugwu ọnụọgụgụ ha dị iri puku asatọ.
And Solomon had seventy thousand that bore burdens, and eighty thousand hewers in the mountains;
16 Nʼagụnyeghị ndị a, o nwekwara ndịisi, ndị na-elekọta ndị ọrụ ndị a, ọnụọgụgụ ha dị puku atọ na narị atọ.
Besides the chief of Solomon's officers who [were] over the work, three thousand and three hundred, who ruled over the people that wrought in the work.
17 Dịka iwu eze si dị, ha na-esite nʼebe a na-awa nkume ebupụta nkume dị mma buru ibu nke e ji ewu ntọala ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ
And the king commanded, and they brought great stones, costly stones, [and] hewed stones, to lay the foundation of the house.
18 Ndị ikom si Gebal, nyere ndị ọrụ Solomọn na ndị ọrụ Hiram aka, igbutu osisi na ịwa ha. Ha nyekwara aka ịkwado nkume e ji ewu ụlọ ahụ.
And Solomon's builders, and Hiram's builders did hew [them], and the stone-squarers: so they prepared timber and stones to build the house.
