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 commanded the building of a house for Yahweh's name and the building of a palace 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.
Solomon assigned seventy thousand men to carry loads, and eighty thousand men as stonecutters in the mountains, and 3,600 men to supervise 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.
Solomon sent a message to Hiram, the king of Tyre, saying, “As you did with David my father, sending him cedar logs to build a house to live in, do the same 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.

See, I am about to build a house for the name of Yahweh my God, to set it apart to him, to burn incense of sweet spices before him, to set out the bread of the presence, and for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the Sabbaths and on the new moons, and on the appointed feasts for Yahweh our God. This is forever, for Israel.
5 Nga akoo in musaela sie tempul na lulap, mweyen God lasr El fulat liki god nukewa saya.
The house that I will build will be very large, for our God is greater than all other 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 God a house, since the entire universe and even heaven itself cannot contain him? Who am I to build him a house, except to burn sacrifices 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.
So send me a man who is skilled at work in gold, silver, bronze, iron, and in purple, crimson, and blue wool, a man who knows how to make all kinds of engraved wood. He will be with the skilled men who are with me in Judah and Jerusalem, whom David my father provided.
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, cypress, and algum trees from Lebanon, for I know that your servants know how to cut timber in Lebanon. See, my servants will be with your servants,
9 in akoela sak pukanten, mweyen tempul se nga ac musai uh ac arulana yohk ac wolana.
in order to prepare for me timber in abundance, for the house which I am about to build will be great and marvelous.
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.”
See, I will give to your servants, the men who will cut the timber, twenty thousand cors of ground wheat, twenty thousand cors of barley, 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 Hiram, the king of Tyre, answered in writing, which he sent to Solomon: “Because Yahweh loves his people, he has made you 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.
In addition, Hiram said, “Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, who made heaven and earth, who has given to David the king a wise son, gifted with prudence and understanding, who will build a house for Yahweh and a palace for himself.
13 Nga ac supwaot sie mwet orekma ke osra su arulana lalmwetmet ac usrnguk ke musa — inel pa Huram.
Now I have sent a skillful man, Huram-Abi, who is gifted with understanding.
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.
He is the son of a woman of the daughters of Dan. His father was a man from Tyre. He is skilled at work in gold, silver, bronze, iron, stone, and in timber, and in purple, blue, and crimson wool, and fine linen. He is also skilled in making any kind of engraving and in making any kind of design. Let a place be made for him among your skilled workers, and with those of my master, David, your father.
15 Ke ma inge, supwama wheat, barley, wain, ac oil in olive ma kom wulela kac.
Now then, the wheat and the barley, the oil and the wine, of which my master has spoken, let him send these things to 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.”
We will cut wood from Lebanon, as much wood as you need. We will take it to you as rafts by sea to Joppa, and you will 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.
Solomon counted all the foreigners who were in the land of Israel, following the method that David, his father, had counted them. They were found to be 153,600.
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.
He assigned seventy thousand of them to carry loads, eighty thousand to be stonecutters in the mountains, and 3,600 to be supervisors to put the people to work.
