2 Ihe E Mere 8
1 Nʼọgwụgwụ iri afọ abụọ, mgbe Solomọn ji wuo ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị na ụlọeze nke ya onwe ya,
And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, when Solomon had built the house of the Lord, and his own house,
2 Solomọn wugharịrị obodo ndị ahụ Hiram nyere ya, mee ka ndị Izrel biri nʼime ha.
That [as regardeth] the cities which Churam had restored to Solomon, Solomon built them, and caused the children of Israel to dwell there.
3 Solomọn gara Hamat-Zoba, merie ha.
And Solomon went to Chamath-zobah, and prevailed against it.
4 O wuru obodo Tadmọ nke dị nʼọzara na ọtụtụ obodo nchịkọba ihe na Hamat.
And he built Thadmor in the wilderness, and all the treasure-cities, which he built in Chamath.
5 O wugharịkwara obodo Bet-Horon nke dị nʼelu elu, wuokwa Ndịda Bet-Horon ka ọ ghọọ obodo e wusiri ike nke nwere mgbidi, ibo ọnụ ụzọ ama na mkpọrọ e ji kpọchie ha.
And he built the upper Beth-choron, and the lower Beth-choron, fortified cities, with walls, gates, and bars;
6 O wukwara obodo Baalat na obodo niile nke ebe ịchịkọba ihe, na obodo niile 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.
And Ba'alath, and all the treasure-cities that Solomon had, and all the cities for chariots, and the cities for horsemen, and all the [other] desire of Solomon which he desired to build in Jerusalem, and in the Lebanon, and throughout all the land of his dominion.
7 Ndị niile fọdụrụ ndụ nʼetiti ndị Het, ndị Amọrait, ndị Periz, ndị Hiv na Jebus (ndị a abụghị ndị Izrel),
All the people that were left of the Hittites, and the Emorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of Israel,
8 ndị ụmụ ụmụ ha fọdụrụ nʼala ahụ, ndị ahụ ndị Izrel na-ebibighị, ndị a ka Solomọn mere ndị ọrụ mmanye na ndị ohu, nke a bụkwa ọnọdụ ha ruo taa.
Out of their children, who were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel had not destroyed—these did Solomon levy as tributary [laborers] until this day.
9 Ma Solomọn emeghị ka onye Izrel ọbụla bụrụ ohu, maka ọrụ ya, kama ha bụ ndị ikom agha, ndịisi ndị ọchịagha ya, ndịisi ụgbọ agha na ndị na-agba ịnyịnya agha ya.
Yet of the children of Israel did Solomon make no bondmen for his work; but they were men of war, and chiefs of his captains; and officers of his chariots and of his horsemen.
10 Ha bụkwa ndịisi ozi nke eze Solomọn, narị ndị ikom abụọ na iri ise bụ ndịisi na-elekọta ndị mmadụ.
And these were the chiefs of the superintendents whom king Solomon had, [even] two hundred and fifty, who ruled over the people.
11 Solomọn kpọpụtara ada Fero site nʼobodo Devid, gaa nʼụlọeze nke o wuuru ya, nʼihi na ọ sịrị, “Nwunye m agaghị ebi nʼụlọeze Devid, bụ eze Izrel, nʼihi na ebe ọbụla igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị banyere abụrụla ebe dị nsọ.”
And the daughter of Pharaoh did Solomon bring up out of the city of David unto the house that he had built for her; for he said, No wife of mine shall dwell in a house of David the king of Israel, because they are holy, because there came [once] unto them the ark of the Lord.
12 Emesịa, Solomọn chụrụ aja nsure ọkụ nye Onyenwe anyị, nʼelu ebe ịchụ aja Onyenwe anyị, nke o wuru nʼihu mpụta ọnụ ụlọ ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ,
Then did Solomon offer burnt-offerings unto the Lord on the altar of the Lord, which he had built before the porch,
13 ọbụladị dịka iwu metụtara aja e kwesiri ịchụ kwa ụbọchị si dị, bụ nke Mosis nyere nʼiwu. Aja ndị a bụ maka Ụbọchị Izuike, Ọnwa Ọhụrụ na ụdị mmemme atọ a na-eme nʼafọ, ndị bụ mmemme achịcha ekoghị eko, mmemme izu ụka asaa na mmemme ụlọ Ikwu.
Even according to what was the due of [every] day on its day, offering according to the commandment of Moses, on the sabbaths, and on the new-moons, and on the stated festivals, three times in the year, on the feast of unleavened bread, and on the feast of weeks, and on the feast of tabernacles.
14 O sitere nʼusoro ije ozi nke Devid, họpụtara otu ndị nchụaja ọrụ dị iche iche ha na-arụ ụbọchị niile. O nyekwara ndị Livayị ọrụ idu nʼotuto a na-enye Chineke na inyere ndị nchụaja aka ime ihe ụbọchị ọbụla nʼụbọchị ya. Kenyekwa ndị na-eche ọnụ ụzọ ụlọnsọ ahụ niile nche oke ọrụ ha nʼotu nʼotu, nʼihi na nke a bụ ihe Devid, onye nke Chineke nyere nʼiwu.
And he stationed, according to the prescription of David his father, the divisions of the priests at their service, and the Levites at their stations, to praise and minister next to the priests, in the requirement of every day on its day, and the gate-keepers in their divisions at every gate; for so was the charge of David the man of God.
15 Ha ewezugaghị onwe ha nʼiso iwu niile eze nyere ndị nchụaja maọbụ ndị Livayị banyere ihe ọbụla na ihe gbasakwara ụlọakụ niile.
And they departed not from the charge of the king concerning the priests and Levites respecting every matter, and respecting the treasuries.
16 A rụzuru ọrụ niile Solomọn zubere ịrụ, site nʼụbọchị a tọrọ ntọala ụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị tutu ruo mgbe ewuchara ya. Ya mere, e wuchara ụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị.
And [so] was all the work of Solomon successful from the day of founding the house of the Lord, even until it was finished. [So] was perfected the house of the Lord.
17 Mgbe ahụ, Solomọn gara Eziọn Geba na Elat nke dị nʼọnụ osimiri, nʼala Edọm.
Then went Solomon to 'Ezyon-geber, and to Eloth, at the sea-shore in the land of Edom.
18 Hiram zigaara ya ọtụtụ ụgbọ mmiri nke ndị ikom ya na-anya ụgbọ mmiri na-edu, bụ ndị maara ihe banyere ime njem nʼosimiri nke ọma. Ndị a, ha na ndị ikom Solomọn nyaara ụgbọ gaa Ọfịa site nʼebe ahụ bulatara eze Solomọn, ọlaedo ịdị arọ ya ruru puku kilogram iri na ise na narị atọ.
And Churam sent him by means of his servants ships, and servants that had knowledge of the sea; and they went with the servants of Solomon to Ophir, and they fetched away thence four hundred and fifty talents of gold, and brought the same to king Solomon.
