Luo Chronicle 2

1 Tokosra Solomon el wotela in musai sie tempul tuh in nien alu nu sin LEUM GOD, ac oayapa in musaela sie inkul fulat nu sel sifacna.

Now Solomon purposed to build an house for the name of the LORD, and an house for his kingdom.

2 El sang itngoul tausin mwet in wun kufwen orekma, ac oalngoul tausin mwet in tufahl eot fineol uh. Mwet tolu tausin onfoko pa kol orekma sac.

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 Solomon el supwala kas nu sel Tokosra Hiram lun acn Tyre ac fahk, “Nga ke kom in oru nu sik oana ke kom tuh oru nu sel Tokosra David, papa tumuk, ke kom tuh kukakin sak cedar nu sel elan sang musai inkul fulat sel ah.

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 Nga ac musai sie tempul in akfulatye LEUM GOD luk. Ac fah sie acn mutal, acn ma nga ac mwet luk ac fah alu nu sel we, ke kut akosak mwe keng ac ma wo fohlo, ac sang bread mutal nu sel ke pacl nukewa. Acn se inge kut ac fah oayapa esukak mwe kisa firir ke lotutang ac eku nukewa, oayapa ke len Sabbath ac Kufwa lun Malem Sasu ac len mutal saya, in akfulatye LEUM GOD lasr oana ke El sapkin nu sin mwet Israel tuh elos in oru nwe tok.

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 Nga akoo in musaela sie tempul na lulap, mweyen God lasr El fulat liki god nukewa saya.

And the house which I build is great: for great is our God above all gods.

6 Tusruktu wanginna sie mwet ac ku in musaela sie tempul sin God, mweyen finne ke yoklana lun acn inkusrao, tia ku in nwanulak. Ma sefanna nga ku in oru pa in orala sie acn in orek kisa nu sin God.

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 Inge supwama sie mwet su yohk etu lal ke tufahl eot, ac orekma ke gold, silver, osra bronze, ac iron, oayapa el ku in orala tuhn wowo ke nuknuk tuh in folfol, sroninmutuk, ac srusra. Mwet se inge el ac wi mwet musa lun Judah ac Jerusalem su David, papa tumuk, el tuh sulela.

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 Nga etu lah yohk etu lun mwet lom ingan ke orekma ke sak. Ke ma inge supwama sak cedar, cypress, ac juniper Lebanon me. Nga akola in supwaot mwet luk inge in wi mwet lom,

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 in akoela sak pukanten, mweyen tempul se nga ac musai uh ac arulana yohk ac wolana.

even to prepare me timber in abundance: for the house which I am about to build shall be wonderful great.

10 Nga ac supwaot siofok tausin bushel in wheat, siofok tausin bushel in barley, siofok singoul tausin gallon in wain, ac siofok singoul tausin gallon in oil in olive in kasru mwet orek sak lom ingan.”

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 Tokosra Hiram el supwala leta se in topuk nu sel Solomon. El simusla kas inge: “Ke sripen LEUM GOD El lungse mwet lal, El oru tuh kom in tokosra faclos.

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 Kaksakin LEUM GOD lun Israel, su orala kusrao ac faclu! El sang nu sel Tokosra David sie wen lalmwetmet, su yohk etauk ac usrnguk lal, su akola in musai sie tempul nu sin LEUM GOD, ac sie inkul fulat nu sel sifacna.

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 Nga ac supwaot sie mwet orekma ke osra su arulana lalmwetmet ac usrnguk ke musa — inel pa Huram.

And now I have sent a cunning man, endued with understanding, of Huram my father’s,

14 Nina kial ma in sruf lal Dan, ac papa tumal sie mwet Tyre. El ku in oru kutena ma ke gold, silver, bronze, osra, eot, ac sak. El ku pac in orala nuknuk ke tuhn folfol, sroninmutuk, ac srusra, oayapa nuknuk linen. El etu pac taflela kutena lumah ma mwet uh ac fahk nu sel. Lela elan wi mwet musa lom ingan, oayapa mwet orekma lal Tokosra David, papa tomom.

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 Ke ma inge, supwama wheat, barley, wain, ac oil in olive ma kom wulela kac.

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 In acn Lebanon kut ac fah pakela sak cedar nukewa ma kom enenu an, ac kapriya nu ke raft, ac pahkin nwe ke sun acn Joppa. Na mwet lom fah usla we lac nu 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 Tokosra Solomon el orala sie oaoa lulap ke mwetsac nukewa su muta in acn lun Israel, oapana oaoa se ma David, papa tumal, el tuh orala. Pisen mwetsac muta we oasr ke mwet siofok lumngaul tolu tausin onfoko.

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 Na el sap itngoul tausin selos in wiwa, ac oalngoul tausin selos in fokfok eot fineol ah. El sulela mwet tolu tausin onfoko in liye orekma inge tuh in orekla wo.

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.
