2 Ihe E Mere 2
1 Solomọn nyere iwu ka e wuo ụlọ nso ukwu nye Aha Onyenwe anyị, ka e wuokwara ya bụ Solomọn ụlọeze.
Now Solomon purposed to build an house for the name of the LORD, and an house for his kingdom.
2 O manyere ndị ọrụ ọnụọgụgụ ha dị iri puku asaa na-ebu ibu, na ndị na-awa nkume nʼugwu ọnụọgụgụ ha dị iri puku asatọ, na ndị o doro dịka ndịisi ha, ọnụọgụgụ ha dị puku atọ na narị isii.
And Solomon told out threescore and ten thousand men to bear burdens, and fourscore thousand men that were hewers in the mountains, and three thousand and six hundred to oversee them.
3 Solomọn zigara Hiram eze Taịa ozi sị ya, “Zidatara m osisi sida dịka i mere nʼoge nna m Devid wuru ụlọeze nke ya.
And Solomon sent to Huram the king of Tyre, saying, As thou didst deal with David my father, and didst send him cedars to build him an house to dwell therein, [even so deal with me].
4 Ugbu a, ana m akwado iwu ụlọnsọ ukwu nye Aha Onyenwe anyị Chineke m, na ido ya nsọ nye ya maka ịchụ aja nsure ọkụ na-esi isi ụtọ nʼihu ya, na idebe nʼebe ahụ achịcha nsọ a na-edo nʼusoro mgbe niile. Na isure aja nsure ọkụ ụtụtụ na anyasị, na nʼụbọchị izuike niile, na nʼọnwa ọhụrụ na nʼoge mmemme ndị ọzọ niile a kara aka nke Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị. Nke a bụ ụkpụrụ na-adịgide nye ụmụ Izrel ruo ebighị ebi.
Behold, I build an house for the name of the LORD my God, to dedicate it to him, and to burn before him incense of sweet spices, and for the continual shewbread, and for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the set feasts of the LORD our God. This is [an ordinance] for ever to Israel;
5 “Ụlọnsọ m ga-ewu ga-adị ukwuu nʼihi na Chineke anyị dị ukwuu karịa chi ndị ọzọ niile.
And the house which I build is great: for great is our God above all gods.
6 Ma onye pụrụ iwu ụlọnsọ nye ya, ebe ọ bụ na eluigwe, ọbụladị ebe kachasị elu nke eluigwe, ezughị ịba gị? Onye ka mụ onwe m bụ, na m ga-ewu ụlọnsọ nye ya, ma ọ bụghị naanị ebe a ga-anọ chụọ aja dị iche iche nʼihu ya?
But who is able to build him an house, seeing the heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain him? who am I then, that I should build him an house, save only to burn incense before him?
7 “Zitere m, onye ǹka, onye maara otu e si eji ọlaedo na ọlaọcha, na bronz, na igwe arụ ọrụ. Onye bụkwa onye maara ọrụ ǹka metụtara akwa dị iche iche, akwa ngwakọta anụnụ na uhie, na nke uhie uhie, na nke anụnụ anụnụ. Ọ ga-abụkwa onye igbunye akara nʼihe doro anya, onye ga-arụ ọrụ na Juda na nʼime Jerusalem, ebe ọ ga-eso ndị ǹka m, bụ ndị nna m Devid họpụtara rụọ ọrụ.
Now therefore send me a man cunning to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in iron, and in purple, and crimson, and blue, and that can skill to grave [all manner of] gravings, [to be] with the cunning men that are with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father did provide.
8 “Zitekwara m osisi sida, na osisi junipa, na osisi algụm, ndị sitere nʼọhịa Lebanọn, nʼihi na ndị gị bụ ọkachamara nʼọrụ ịwa osisi. Aga m ezitekwa ndị m ga-abịa soro ha rụọ ọrụ,
Send me also cedar trees, fir trees, and algum trees, out of Lebanon: for I know that thy servants can skill to cut timber in Lebanon; and, behold, my servants shall be with thy servants,
9 ime ka osisi ha ga-egbutere m dị ukwuu, nʼihi na ya bụ ụlọnsọ ga-ebu ibu, maakwa mma.
even to prepare me timber in abundance: for the house which I am about to build shall be wonderful great.
10 Aga m enye ndị ọrụ gị, bụ ndị na-awa osisi, narị puku bushel na iri puku bushel ọka wiiti abụọ a kwọrọ akwọ, na narị puku bushel na iri puku bushel ọka balị abụọ, na narị puku galọọnụ ite mmanya vaịnị na iri galọọnụ abụọ, nakwa narị puku galọọnụ mmanụ na iri galọọnụ mmanụ oliv abụọ.”
And, behold, I will give to thy servants, the hewers that cut timber, twenty thousand measures of beaten wheat, and twenty thousand measures of barley, and twenty thousand baths of wine, and twenty thousand baths of oil.
11 Hiram, eze Taịa zighachiiri Solomọn akwụkwọ ozi sị ya. “Ọ bụ nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị hụrụ ndị ya nʼanya ka o ji mee gị eze ha.”
Then Huram the king of Tyre answered in writing, which he sent to Solomon, Because the LORD loveth his people, he hath made thee king over them.
12 Hiram kwukwara sị, “Otuto dịrị Onyenwe anyị, bụ Chineke Izrel. Onye kere eluigwe na ụwa. Onye nyere Devid, bụ eze, nwa nwere nghọta na akọnuche dị otu a, iwuru Onyenwe anyị ebe obibi, na iwukwa ụlọeze nke aka ya.
Huram said moreover, Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, that made heaven and earth, who hath given to David the king a wise son, endued with discretion and understanding, that should build an house for the LORD, and an house for his kingdom.
13 “Ana m ezitere gị Huram-Abi, onye ọka maara ọrụ ya nke ọma.
And now I have sent a cunning man, endued with understanding, of Huram my father’s,
14 Onye nne ya si nʼebo Dan nke dị nʼIzrel, ma nna ya bụ onye Taịa. Ọ bụ onye a zụrụ nʼọrụ ịkpụ ụzụ nke ọma, nʼihe gbasara ọlaedo, na ọlaọcha, na bronz, na igwe, na nkume, na osisi. Ọ makwa otu e si eji akwa odo odo, na akwa anụnụ anụnụ, na akwa uhie uhie na ezi akwa ọcha arụ ọrụ. Igbunye ụdị akara ọbụla nʼihe nakwa ichepụta ihe ọ ga-eji ihe ọbụla enyere ya mee doro ya anya nke ọma. Ọ ga-esonye ndị ǹka gị, na ndị nke onyenwe m Devid, bụ nna gị.
the son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, and his father was a man of Tyre, skilful to work in gold, and in silver, in brass, in iron, in stone, and in timber, in purple, in blue, and in fine linen, and in crimson; also to grave any manner of graving, and to devise any device: that there may be [a place] appointed unto him with thy cunning men, and with the cunning men of my lord David thy father.
15 “Ugbu a, ka onyenwe m zitere ndị ohu ya ọka wiiti ahụ, na ọka balị, na mmanya vaịnị, na mmanụ oliv, dịka ọ kwere na nkwa.
Now therefore the wheat and the barley, the oil and the wine, which my lord hath spoken of, let him send unto his servants:
16 Anyị ga-egbutu osisi niile ị chọrọ site nʼugwu Lebanọn, sitekwa nʼosimiri budata ha obodo Jopa, ebe i nwere ike isite buruo ha Jerusalem.”
and we will cut wood out of Lebanon, as much as thou shalt need: and we will bring it to thee in floats by sea to Joppa; and thou shalt carry it up to Jerusalem.
17 Emesịa, Solomọn gụrụ ndị ọbịa niile bi nʼala Izrel ọnụ, dịka Devid mere, achọpụtara na ha dị narị puku iri ise na atọ, na narị isii.
And Solomon numbered all the strangers that were in the land of Israel, after the numbering wherewith David his father had numbered them; and they were found an hundred and fifty thousand and three thousand and six hundred.
18 O mere iri puku ndị ọrụ asaa nʼime ha ka ha bụrụ ndị na-ebu ibu, na ọnụọgụgụ dị iri puku asatọ ka ha bụrụ ndị ga-awa nkume, meekwa puku ndị ikom atọ na narị isii, ndị ga-abụ ndịisi ọrụ ime ka ọrụ na-aga nke ọma.
And he set threescore, and ten thousand of them to bear burdens, and fourscore thousand that were hewers in the mountains, and three thousand and six hundred overseers to set the people awork.
