1 Ndị Eze 9
1 Mgbe Solomọn rụchara ụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị, na ụlọeze, rụzukwaa ihe niile bụ nke o bu nʼobi ime,
And it came to pass, when Solomon had made an end of building the house of Yahweh, and the house of the king, and everything that Solomon desired, which he was pleased to make,
2 Onyenwe anyị mere ka ọ hụ ya anya nke ugboro abụọ dịka o mere ka ọ hụ ya anya na Gibiọn.
then appeared Yahweh unto Solomon, a second time, —as he appeared unto him, in Gibeon.
3 Onyenwe anyị sịrị ya, “Anụla m ekpere gị, na arịrịọ gị, nke ị rịọrọ nʼihu m. Edoola m ụlọnsọ a nke i wuru nsọ, site nʼitinye Aha m nʼebe ahụ ruo mgbe ebighị ebi. Anya m na obi m abụọ ga-adịkwa nʼebe ahụ ụbọchị niile.
And Yahweh said unto him—I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication, wherewith thou hast made supplication before me, I have hallowed this house, which thou hast built, to put my Name there unto times age-abiding, —and mine eyes and my heart shall be there, continually:
4 “Ma gị onwe gị, ọ bụrụ na ị jiri obi zuruoke na omume ziri ezi, bie ndụ nʼikwesị ntụkwasị obi nʼihu m dịka Devid nna gị mere, na-eme ihe niile m nyere nʼiwu, debe ụkpụrụ m na iwu m niile,
As for thee, therefore, if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, with a whole heart and with uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded thee, —and, my statutes and my regulations, wilt keep,
5 mgbe ahụ, aga m eme ka ocheeze ọchịchị gị nʼIzrel guzosie ike ruo mgbe ebighị ebi, dịka m kwere nna gị Devid nkwa, mgbe m sịrị, ‘Ị ghaghị inwe onye nnọchite anya nʼocheeze Izrel.’
then will I establish the throne of thy kingdom over Israel, unto times age-abiding, —as I promised unto David thy father, saying, There shall not be cut off to thee a man, from off the throne of Israel.
6 “Ma ọ bụrụ na unu, maọbụ ụmụ ụmụ unu alaghachi azụ, site nʼebe m nọ, jụ idebe iwu na ụkpụrụ niile bụ nke m nyere unu, pụọ gbasoro chi ndị ọzọ ife ha ofufe na ịkpọ isiala nye ha,
If ye, turn back, ye or your sons, from following me, and keep not my commandments, my statutes, which I have set before you, —but depart and serve other gods, and bow yourselves down to them,
7 mgbe ahụ, aga m esite nʼala ahụ nke m nyere ha wezuga Izrel. Aga m ajụkwa ụlọnsọ a m doro nsọ nye Aha m. Izrel ga-aghọ ihe eji atụ ilu na ihe ịkpa ọchị nʼetiti ndị niile.
then will I cut off Israel, from the face of the soil, which I have given unto them, and, the house which I have hallowed for my Name, will I suffer to be carried away from before me, —and Israel shall become a byword and a mockery, among all the peoples;
8 Ọ bụ ezie na ụlọnsọ ukwu a kachasị elu ugbu a, ma ọnọdụ ya ga-eju ndị niile ga-esi nʼakụkụ ya gafee anya. Ha ga-emi ọnụ, sị, ‘Gịnị mere Onyenwe anyị ji mee ala a na ụlọnsọ a, ihe dị otu a?’
and, this house which had been renowned, shall be desolate, every one that passeth by it, shall be astonished and shall whistle, —and men shall say—For what cause, hath Yahweh done, thus, unto this land, and unto this house?
9 Ndị mmadụ ga-aza, ‘Nʼihi na ha gbakụtara Onyenwe anyị Chineke ha azụ, onye kpọpụtara ha site nʼala Ijipt azụ, makụọ chi ndị ọzọ, na-akpọ isiala na-efekwa ha ofufe. Ọ bụ nʼihi nke a ka O ji mee ka ihe ọjọọ niile ndị a bịakwasị ha.’”
And men will answer—Because they forsook Yahweh their God, who brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold of other gods, and bowed themselves down to them, and served them, for this cause, hath Yahweh brought in upon them all this ruin.
10 Nʼọgwụgwụ iri afọ abụọ, mgbe Solomọn ji wuo ụlọ abụọ ndị a, ya bụ ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị na ụlọeze.
And it came to pass, at the end of twenty years, when Solomon had built the two houses, —the house of Yahweh, and the house of the king;
11 Eze Solomọn nyere Hiram, eze Taịa, iri obodo abụọ dị na Galili, nʼihi osisi sida, na osisi junipa, na ọlaedo niile Hiram butere ya dịka o si chọọ ya.
Hiram king of Tyre having supplied Solomon with timber of cedar, and with timber of fir, and with gold, according to all his desire, that, then, King Solomon gave unto Hiram twenty cities, in the land of Galilee.
12 Ma mgbe Hiram si Taịa gaa ịhụ obodo ndị a nke Solomọn nyere ya, ha amasịghị obi ya.
And Hiram came out from Tyre to view the cities which, Solomon, had given him, —and they were not pleasing in his eyes.
13 Ya mere, ọ jụrụ sị, “Nwanne m nwoke, ụdị obodo dị aṅaa bụ ihe a i nyere m?” Nʼihi ya, ọ kpọrọ ha Kabul, aha ọ na-aza ruo taa.
So he said—What cities are these which thou hast given me, my brother? And he called them, Unfruitful Land, [as they are called] unto this day.
14 Hiram zigaara eze ọlaedo dị puku kilogram anọ na iri asatọ.
Now Hiram had sent to the king, —a hundred and twenty talents of gold.
15 Nke a bụ akụkọ banyere ndị ọrụ mmanye niile eze bụ Solomọn chịkọtara maka ịrụ ụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị, na ụlọeze nke ya, na ebe e wusiri ike nke Milo, na mgbidi Jerusalem, Hazọ, Megido nakwa Gaza.
Now, the following, is an account of the tax which King Solomon raised, for building the house of Yahweh and his own house, and Millo, and the wall of Jerusalem, —and Hazor and Megiddo, and Gezer.
16 Fero eze Ijipt buru agha na mbụ merie Gaza, kpọọ ya ọkụ, gbukwaa ọtụtụ ndị Kenan bi nʼobodo ahụ, were ya nye nwa ya nwanyị, bụ nwunye Solomọn, ka ọ bụrụ ihe o ji duo ya ụlọ.
Pharaoh king of Egypt, had gone up and captured Gezer, and burned it with fire, the Canaanites also who were dwelling in the city, had he slain, —and had given it as a dowry, to his daughter, wife of Solomon.
17 Solomọn wugharịrị obodo Gaza, wuokwa ndịda Bet-Horon,
So then Solomon built Gezer, and Beth-horon, the nether,
18 Baalat na Tadmọ nke dị nʼọzara nʼime ala ya.
and Baalath and Tadmor in the wilderness, in the land;
19 O wukwara ọtụtụ obodo ebe nchịkọba ihe, obodo ebe idebe ụgbọ agha na ịnyịnya ya niile. O wuru ihe ọbụla gụrụ obi ya agụụ iwu na Jerusalem, Lebanọn na nʼoke ala ahụ niile ọ na-achị.
also all the store cities, which Solomon had, and the cities for chariots, and the cities for horsemen, —and the desire of Solomon that he was pleased to build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land that he ruled over.
20 Ndị niile fọdụrụ ndụ nʼetiti ndị Amọrait, ndị Het, ndị Periz, ndị Hiv na Jebus (ndị ahụ abụghị ndị Izrel),
All the people that were left, of the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites and the Jebusites, who were, not of the sons of Israel;
21 ndị ụmụ ụmụ ha niile fọdụrụ nʼala ahụ, ndị ahụ ndị Izrel na-enweghị ike egbuchapụ, ndị a ka Solomọn mere ndị ọrụ mmanye na ndị ohu, nke a bụkwa ọnọdụ ha ruo taa.
their sons, who were left after them in the land, whom the sons of Israel were not able to devote to destruction, Solomon levied them for a toiling labour-band [which remaineth] unto this day.
22 Ma Solomọn emeghị ka onye Izrel ọbụla bụrụ ohu. Kama ha bụ ndị ikom agha, ndịisi ọrụ nʼọchịchị, ndịisi ndị ọchịagha, ndịisi ụgbọ agha na ndị na-agba ịnyịnya agha ya.
But, of the sons of Israel, Solomon devoted none to bond-service, —but, they, were men of war, and his servants, and his generals, and his heroes, and captains of his chariots, and his horsemen.
23 Ndị a bụkwa ndịisi na-ahụ ihe banyere ọrụ niile nke Solomọn ji nʼaka. Ndị Izrel dị narị ise na iri ise, ka e mere ndịisi na-elekọta ndị ọrụ Solomọn.
These, were the chiefs of the officers, who were over the work, for Solomon, five hundred and fifty, —who ruled over the people that wrought in the work.
24 Emesịa, ada Fero sitere nʼobodo Devid pụta gbagoo nʼụlọeze nke Solomọn wuuru ya. Solomọn wukwara ebe mpụta nke ụlọ ahụ.
Scarcely had Pharaoh’s daughter come up out of the city of David, into her own house, which he had built for her, when he built Millo.
25 Ugboro atọ nʼafọ, ka Solomọn na-achụ aja nsure ọkụ, na aja udo nʼelu ebe ịchụ aja o wuru nye Onyenwe anyị, tinyere aja nsure ọkụ ihe na-esi isi ụtọ ọ na-achụ nʼihu Onyenwe anyị. O si otu a wuchaa ụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị.
And Solomon used to offer, three times a year, ascending-sacrifices and peace-offerings, upon the altar which he had built unto Yahweh, and to offer incense at the altar which was before Yahweh, —thus Solomon gave completeness unto the house.
26 Eze Solomọn wukwara ọtụtụ ụgbọ mmiri nʼEziọn Geba, bụ nke dị nʼakụkụ Elat, nʼọnụ mmiri Oke osimiri Uhie nʼala Edọm.
A fleet also, did King Solomon build in Ezion-geber, which is beside Eloth on the shore of the Red Sea, in the land of Edom.
27 Hiram zigaara ndị ikom ya na-anya ụgbọ, ndị maara ihe banyere ime njem osimiri nke ọma, ka ha soro ndị ikom Solomọn jee ozi nʼime ụgbọ ndị a.
And Hiram sent in the fleet his servants, seamen, having knowledge of the sea, —with the servants of Solomon;
28 Ha nyaara ụgbọ gaa Ọfịa, site nʼebe ahụ bulatara eze Solomọn ọlaedo nke ịdị arọ ya ruru puku kilogram iri na anọ na narị abụọ na asatọ.
and they came to Ophir, and fetched from thence, gold, four hundred and twenty talents, —and brought it to King Solomon.
