It happened at the end of twenty years, in which 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 the cities which Hiram had given to Solomon, Solomon built them, and caused the children of Israel to dwell there.
3 Solomọn gara Hamat-Zoba, merie ha.
Solomon went to Hamath Zobah, and prevailed against it.
4 O wuru obodo Tadmọ nke dị nʼọzara na ọtụtụ obodo nchịkọba ihe na Hamat.
He built Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the storage cities, which he built in Hamath.

Also he built Upper Beth Horon, and Lower Beth Horon, 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 Baalath, and all the storage cities that Solomon had, and all the cities for his chariots, and the cities for his horsemen, and all that Solomon desired to build for his pleasure in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in 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),
As for all the people who were left of the Hethites, and the Amorites, 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.
of their descendants who were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel did not destroy, of them Solomon conscripted for slave labor to 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.
But of the children of Israel, Solomon made no slaves for his work; but they were men of war, and his commanders, and his captains, and rulers 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.
These were the chief officers of king Solomon: five hundred 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.”
Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharaoh out of the City of David to the house that he had built for her; for he said, "My wife shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, because the places where the ark of the LORD has come are holy."
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 Solomon offered burnt offerings to 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 as the duty of every day required, offering according to the commandment of Moses, on the Sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the set feasts, three times in the year, in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tents.
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.
He appointed, according to the ordinance of David his father, the divisions of the priests to their service, and the Levites to their offices, to praise, and to minister before the priests, as the duty of every day required; the doorkeepers also by their divisions at every gate: for so had David the man of God commanded.
15 Ha ewezugaghị onwe ha nʼiso iwu niile eze nyere ndị nchụaja maọbụ ndị Livayị banyere ihe ọbụla na ihe gbasakwara ụlọakụ niile.
They did not depart from the commandment of the king to the priests and Levites concerning any matter, or concerning the treasures.
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.
Now all the work of Solomon was carried out from the day of the foundation of the house of the LORD, until it was finished. So the house of the LORD was completed.
17 Mgbe ahụ, Solomọn gara Eziọn Geba na Elat nke dị nʼọnụ osimiri, nʼala Edọm.
Then went Solomon to Ezion Geber, and to Eilat, on the seashore 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 Hiram sent him ships and servants who had knowledge of the sea by the hands of his servants; and they came with the servants of Solomon to Ophir, and fetched from there four hundred fifty talents of gold, and brought them to king Solomon.
