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, wherein Solomon had built the house of Yahweh, and his own house,
2 Solomọn wugharịrị obodo ndị ahụ Hiram nyere ya, mee ka ndị Izrel biri nʼime ha.
that, the cities which Huram had given to Solomon, Solomon built them, —and caused, the sons of Israel, to dwell there.
3 Solomọn gara Hamat-Zoba, merie ha.
And Solomon went to Hamath-zobah, —and prevailed against it;
4 O wuru obodo Tadmọ nke dị nʼọzara na ọtụtụ obodo nchịkọba ihe na Hamat.
and he built Tadmor, in the wilderness, —and all the store cities, which he built in Hamath;
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 Beth-horon, the upper, and Beth-horon, the nether, —fortified cities, with walls, and doors 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 store cities which pertained to Solomon, and all the chariot cities, and the cities of the horsemen, —and every delight of Solomon which he delighted to build in Jerusalem, and in the 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 that were left, of the Hittites 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 sons who were left after them in the land, whom the sons of Israel had not utterly destroyed, Solomon enrolled them as tributary—unto 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 sons of Israel, were there none whom he delivered up as bondmen unto his work, —for, they, were men of war, and his captains and his heroes, and captains over his chariots, and his horsemen.
10 Ha bụkwa ndịisi ozi nke eze Solomọn, narị ndị ikom abụọ na iri ise bụ ndịisi na-elekọta ndị mmadụ.
These, moreover, were the chiefs of his officers whom King Solomon had, two hundred and fifty, —who wielded dominion 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, Solomon brought up, out of the city of David, unto the house which he had built for her, —for he said, A wife of mine must not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, for holy are those places whereinto the ark of Yahweh hath come.
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 up ascending-sacrifices, unto Yahweh, —upon the altar of Yahweh, 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 the duty of each a day upon [its own] day, offering up according to the commandment of Moses, for the sabbaths, and for the new moons, and for the appointed feasts, three times in the year, —in the festival of unleavened cakes and in the festival of weeks, and in the festival of booths;
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 caused to stand, according to the regulation of David his father, the courses of the priests over their service and of the Levites over their charges, to offer praise and to minister before the priests, for the duty of each day upon its own day, and the gate-keepers in their courses, at every several gate, —for, such, was the commandment 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.
neither departed they from the commandment of the king, concerning the priests and the Levites as to any duty, or as to 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.
So all the work of Solomon was prepared, from the day of founding the house of Yahweh, even as far as the finishing thereof, —complete was the house of Yahweh.
17 Mgbe ahụ, Solomọn gara Eziọn Geba na Elat nke dị nʼọnụ osimiri, nʼala Edọm.
Then, went Solomon to Ezion-geber, and unto Eloth 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 Huram sent him—by the hand of his servants—ships, and servants skilled in the sea, and they came, with the servants of Solomon, towards Ophir, and took from thence, four hundred and fifty talents of gold, —and brought unto King Solomon.
