2 Ebyomumirembe 2
1 Sulemaani n’awa ebiragiro okuzimbira erinnya lya Mukama eyeekaalu, ate naye okwezimbira olubiri olwa kabaka.
And Solomon saith to build a house for the name of Jehovah, and a house for his kingdom,
2 N’alonda abasajja emitwalo musanvu okuba abeetissi, n’abalala emitwalo munaana okutema amayinja mu nsozi, n’abalala enkumi ssatu mu lukaaga okubakuliranga.
and Solomon numbereth seventy thousand men bearing burden, and eighty thousand men hewing in the mountain, and overseers over them — three thousand and six hundred.
3 Awo Sulemaani n’aweereza Kulamu kabaka w’e Ttuulo obubaka nti, “Nga bwe wakolagananga ne Dawudi kitange, n’omuweereza emivule egy’okwezimbira olubiri lwe okubeeramu, nange kolagana nange mu ngeri y’emu.
And Solomon sendeth unto Huram king of Tyre, saying, 'When thou hast dealt with David my father, then thou dost send to him cedars to build for him a house to dwell in;
4 Laba kaakano nnaatera okuzimbira erinnya lya Mukama Katonda wange eyeekaalu, era ngiwonge olw’okwoterezaayo obubaane obw’ebyakaloosa obulungi mu maaso ge, n’okuweerayo emigaati egya buli lunaku, n’olw’okuweerayo ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa enkya n’akawungeezi buli ssabbiiti ne ku myezi nga kye gijje giboneke ne ku mbaga ezaatekebwawo eza Mukama Katonda waffe, ng’ekiragiro eky’enkalakkalira eri Isirayiri.
lo, I am building a house to the name of Jehovah my God, to sanctify [it] to Him, to make perfume before Him, perfume of spices, and a continual arrangement, and burnt-offerings at morning and at evening, at sabbaths, and at new moons, and at appointed seasons of Jehovah our God; to the age this [is] on Israel.
5 “Eyeekaalu gye ŋŋenda okuzimba ejja kuba yaakitiibwa, kubanga Katonda waffe waakitiibwa okusinga bakatonda abalala bonna.
'And the house that I am building [is] great, for greater [is] our God than all gods;
6 Naye ani ayinza okumuzimbira eyeekaalu, nga n’eggulu erya waggulu ddala taligyamu? Noolwekyo nze ani okumuzimbira eyeekaalu, okuggyako okumuzimbira ekifo eky’okwoterezangamu obubaane mu maaso ge?
and who doth retain strength to build to Him a house, for the heavens, even the heavens of the heavens, do not contain Him? and who [am] I that I do build to Him a house, except to make perfume before Him?
7 “Noolwekyo mpeereza omusajja omumanyirivu nga mugezi asobola okuweesa zaabu, ne ffeeza, n’ebikomo, n’ebyuma, ate era asobola okuluka engoye eza kakobe, n’entwakaavu, n’eza bbululu, ate era nga mumanyirivu mu kukola enjola ez’engeri zonna, ngakolaganira wamu n’abasajja bange abamanyirivu mu by’omu Yuda ne mu Yerusaalemi, Dawudi kitange be yateekateeka.
'And now, send to me a wise man to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in iron, and in purple, and crimson, and blue, and knowing to grave gravings with the wise men who [are] with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father prepared;
8 “Era mpeereza n’emivule, n’emiberosi, n’emitoogo okuva e Lebanooni, kubanga mmanyi nti abasajja bo bamanyirivu mu kutema emiti mu Lebanooni. Abaddu bange banaakolagananga n’ababo
and send to me cedar-trees, firs, and algums from Lebanon, for I have known that thy servants know to cut down trees of Lebanon, and lo, my servants [are] with thy servants,
9 okunteekerateekera embaawo mu bungi, kubanga eyeekaalu gye ŋŋenda okuzimba egenda kuba nnene era nga yaakitiibwa.
even to prepare for me trees in abundance, for the house that I am building [is] great and wonderful.
10 Laba, ndiwa abaweereza bo, abasajja ababazzi, lita ez’eŋŋaano ense emitwalo amakumi ana mu ena, ne lita eza sayiri, emitwalo amakumi ana mu ena, n’ebita eby’omwenge emitwalo ebiri, n’ebita eby’amafuta ag’omuzeeyituuni emitwalo ebiri.”
'And lo, to hewers, to those cutting the trees, I have given beaten wheat to thy servants, cors twenty thousand, and barley, cors twenty thousand, and wine, baths twenty thousand, and oil, baths twenty thousand.'
11 Awo Kulamu n’addamu ebbaluwa Sulemaani gye yamuweereza ng’agamba nti, “Kubanga Mukama ayagala abantu be, kyavudde akufuula kabaka waabwe.”
And Huram king of Tyre saith in writing, and sendeth unto Solomon: 'In the love of Jehovah to His people He hath given thee king over them.'
12 N’ayongerako na kino nti, “Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri eyakola eggulu n’ensi, yeebazibwe, kubanga awadde kabaka Dawudi omwana omutegeevu, alina okutegeera n’okwawula ebirungi n’ebibi, agenda okuzimbira Mukama eyeekaalu, n’okwezimbira olubiri.
And Huram saith, 'Blessed [is] Jehovah, God of Israel, who made the heavens and the earth, who hath given to David the king a wise son, knowing wisdom and understanding, who doth build a house for Jehovah, and a house for his kingdom.
13 “Nkuweereza Kulamu omusajja omumanyirivu, era alina okutegeera n’obumanyirivu bungi,
'And now, I have sent a wise man having understanding, of Huram my father,
14 ne nnyina y’omu ku bazzukulu ba Ddaani, nga ne kitaawe musajja w’e Ttuulo. Yatendekebwa mu kuweesa zaabu n’effeeza, n’ebikomo n’ebyuma n’okutema amayinja era nga mubazzi, ate n’okuluka engoye eza kakobe, n’eza bbululu, n’entwakaavu, n’eza bafuta. Era alina obumanyirivu mu kwola enjola ez’engeri zonna, era ayinza okuyiiya engeri yonna ey’okukolamu ekintu kyonna ekimuweereddwa. Y’anaakolanga n’abaweesi bo n’aba mukama wange Dawudi.
(son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, and his father a man of Tyre), knowing to work in gold, and in silver, in brass, in iron, in stones, and in wood, in purple, in blue, and in fine linen, and in crimson, and to grave any graving, and to devise any device that is given to him, with thy wise men, and the wise men of my lord David thy father.
15 “Kaakano mukama wange aweereze abaddu be eŋŋaano ne sayiri, n’amafuta ag’omuzeeyituuni ne wayini gwe yasuubiza,
'And, now, the wheat, and the barley, the oil, and the wine, as my lord said, let him send to his servants,
16 tulyoke tuteme emiti gyonna gye weetaaga okuva e Lebanooni. Tunaagiseeyeeyeteza ku nnyanja okutuuka e Yopa, naawe oligyambusa e Yerusaalemi.”
and we — we cut trees out of Lebanon, according to all thy need, and bring them in to thee — floats by sea, to Joppa, and thou dost take them up to Jerusalem.'
17 Awo Sulemaani n’abala bannaggwanga bonna abaali mu nsi eya Isirayiri, ng’okubala Dawudi kitaawe kwe yakola bwe kwali; baali abasajja emitwalo kkumi n’ettaano mu enkumi ssatu mu lukaaga.
And Solomon numbereth all the men, the sojourners who [are] in the land of Israel, after the numbering with which David his father numbered them, and they are found a hundred and fifty thousand, and three thousand, and six hundred;
18 N’alonda mu bo emitwalo musanvu okuba abeetissi, n’abalala emitwalo munaana okutemanga amayinja mu nsozi, n’abalala enkumi ssatu mu lukaaga okulabiriranga abantu abaakolanga.
and he maketh of them seventy thousand burden-bearers, and eighty thousand hewers in the mountain, and three thousand and six hundred overseers, to cause the people to work.
