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.
Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants to Solomon, for he had heard that they had anointed him king in the place of his father, and Hiram had always loved David.
2 Mgbe ahụ, Solomọn zigara Hiram ozi, sị ya:
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.
“You know that David my father could not build a house for the name of the LORD his God because of the wars which were around him on every side, until the LORD put his enemies 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 has given me rest on every side. There is no enemy and no evil occurrence.
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.’
Behold, I intend to build a house for the name of the LORD my God, as the LORD spoke to David my father, saying, ‘Your son, whom I will set on your throne in your place shall build the house for 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 that cedar trees be cut for me out of Lebanon. My servants will be with your servants; and I will give you wages for your servants according to all that you say. For you know that there is nobody amongst us who knows how to cut 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.”
When Hiram heard the words of Solomon, he rejoiced greatly, and said, “Blessed is the LORD today, who has given to David a wise son to rule 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.
Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, “I have heard the message which you have sent to me. I will do all your desire concerning timber of cedar, and concerning cypress timber.
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 will bring them down from Lebanon to the sea. I will make them into rafts to go by sea to the place that you specify to me, and will cause them to be broken up there, and you will receive them. You will 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 timber and cypress timber 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.
Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand cors of wheat for food to his household, and twenty cors of pure oil. Solomon gave this 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.
The LORD gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him. There was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and the two of them made a treaty together.
13 Eze Solomọn, sitere nʼakụkụ Izrel niile kpọbata ndị ọrụ mmanye ọnụọgụgụ ha dị iri puku atọ.
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.
He sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by courses: for a month they were in Lebanon, and two months at home; and Adoniram was over the men subject to forced labour.
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.
Solomon had seventy thousand who bore burdens, and eighty thousand who were stone cutters 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 Solomon’s chief officers who were over the work: three thousand and three hundred who ruled over the people who laboured 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
The king commanded, and they cut out large stones, costly stones, to lay the foundation of the house with worked stone.
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.
Solomon’s builders and Hiram’s builders and the Gebalites cut them, and prepared the timber and the stones to build the house.
