2 Tantara 2
1 Sinafiri’ i Selomò am’izao te ho ranjia’e anjomba ty tahina’ Iehovà vaho ty akibam-pifeheañe ho am-bata’e.
Solomon ordered that a temple should be built where Yahweh would be worshiped and also that a palace should be built for himself.
2 Niahe’ i Selomò t’indaty fito-ale hijiny kilankañe naho valo-ale ty hihaly am-bohitse añe vaho telo-arivo-tsi-enenjato ty hisary iareo.
He selected 70,000 men to carry the building supplies and 80,000 men to cut stones [(from quarries/walls of rock) in] the hills. He also chose 3,600 men to supervise them.
3 Nañitrik’ amy Korame mpanjaka’ i Tsore t’i Selomò nanao ty hoe: Manahake ty nifañaoña’o amy Davide raeko, amy nañitrifa’o mendoraveñe handranjia’e anjomba himoneña’ey, ehe, ano ho ahy ka;
Solomon sent this message to King Hiram of Tyre [city]: “[Many years ago] when my father David was building his palace, you sent to him cedar logs. Will you send me cedar logs, too?
4 oniño te hamboarako anjomba ty tahina’ Iehovà Andrianañahareko, havaheñe ho aze, hañembohako rame mandrifondrifoñe añatrefa’e naho handaharañe o mofo-piatrekeo nainai’e naho hisoroñañe boa-maraiñe naho hariva, amo Sabatao naho amo pea-bolañeo naho amo andro namantaña’ Iehovà Andrianañaharentika ho fañè nainai’e am’ Israeleo.
“We are about to build a temple where we will worship Yahweh our God. We want to dedicate it to be a place where we will burn fragrant incense to [honor] him, and a place to put loaves of sacred bread, and for making sacrifices every morning and every evening and every Sabbath day, and to celebrate on the day of every new moon and at other special religious festivals to [honor] Yahweh our God. We want to do those things forever, like Yahweh has commanded.
5 Le ho jabajaba ty anjomba ho ranjieko ho Aze amy te jabahinake te amo fonga ndrahareo t’i Andrianañaharentika.
[We want] this temple [to] be a great temple, because our God is greater than all other gods.
6 Fa ia ty hahafamboatse anjomba ho ama’e kanao tsy tsahatse aze o likerañeo naho ty tane toy? Aa le ia v’o aho te handranjy anjomba ho aze naho tsy t’ie hisoroñe añ’ atrefa’eo?
But no one can really build a temple that would be big enough for God [to live in], because even the highest heavens are not big enough for him. And I am worthy only to build a place where we can burn sacrifices to him.
7 Ie amy zao, ehe ampisangitrifo ondaty mahimban-tsata hitoloñe volamena naho volafoty naho torisike naho viñe, naho malo-mavo naho mena mañabarà naho manga vaho mahimbañe mahafanokitse amy ze karazan-tsokitse iaby, hindreza’e am’ondaty mahimbañe nampihentseñen-draeko Davideo e Iehodà atoy naho e Ierosalaime atoa.
Therefore, please send me a man who knows well how to make things from gold and silver and bronze and iron, and to make things from purple and red and blue cloth. He should also know well how to engrave designs. I want him to work in Jerusalem and in other places in Judah with my skilled craftsmen, the ones whom my father David appointed.
8 Añitrifo mendoraveñe ka naho haradranto naho hazombatango, boake Lebanone añe; fa apotako te mavitrike mahafira ty hatae’ i Lebanone o mpitoro’oo: vaho ingo o mpitorokoo hindre amo mpitoro’oo,
I know that your workers are skilled in cutting timber, so also please send me cedar logs, pine logs, and juniper logs from the Lebanon mountains. My workers will work with your workers.
9 hampihentseñañe hatae maro; amy te ho jabajaba naho fanjàka i anjomba hamboarekoy.
In that way, those workers will provide me with plenty of lumber. [We will need plenty, ] because I want the temple that we will build to be large and beautiful.
10 Aa le ingo hatoloko amo mpitoro’o mpamira hataeo, ty vare-bolè lisañe ro’alen-kore naho vare-hordea ro’alen-kore naho zonjòn-divay ro’alem-bate naho dabakera menake ro’alem-bate.
I will pay your workers, the men who cut the logs, 100,000 bushels of ground wheat, 100,000 bushels of barley, 110,000 gallons of wine, and 110,000 gallons of olive oil.”
11 Aa le nanoiñe an-tsokitse t’i Korame mpanjaka’ i Tsore vaho nahitri’e amy Selomò: Kanao kokoa’ Iehovà ondati’eo le Ihe ty nanoe’e mpanjaka’e.
[When] Hiram [received that message, he] replied by sending this message to Solomon: “Because Yahweh loves his people, he has appointed you to be their king.”
12 Tinovo’ i Korame ty hoe: Andriañeñe t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele, Andrianamboatse o likerañeo naho ty tane toy, ie nanolotse amy Davide mpanjaka ty anake mahihitse, nitoloran-kilala naho faharendrehañe, handranjia’e anjomba Iehovà naho anjomba i fifehea’ey.
[And Hiram added, ] “Praise Yahweh, the God to whom the Israeli people belong, the one who created the sky and the earth! He has given King David a wise son, one who is very smart/intelligent and who has good skill and understanding. He wants to build a temple for Yahweh and a palace for himself.
13 Ingo te hañitrifako ondaty mahilala, mahimban-tsata, toe i Korame mpialom-pitsenekoy,
“I will be sending to you Huram-Abi, a man who is very skilled.
14 anan-drakemba amo anak’ ampela’ i Daneo, ty rae’e nte-Tsore, mahimban-tsata am-bolamena naho volafoty, torisike, viñe, vato naho hatae vaho ami’ty malòmavo naho manga naho leny marerarera naho ami’ty mena mañabasà; naho ty hanokitse amy ze hene karazan-tsokitse, handranjy ze haraotse iaby; hanoe’e ze apoke aolo’e eo, mindre am’ ondaty mahimba’oo vaho amo mpiamy talèko Davide rae’oio.
His mother was from the tribe of Dan, and his father was from [here in] Tyre. He is very able to make things from gold and silver and bronze and iron and stone and wood, but he also makes nice things from purple and blue and red cloth, and he does all kinds of engraving. He can make things using any design/pattern that you give to him. He will work with your craftsmen, and the craftsmen who did work for your father, King David.
15 Le i vare-bolè naho vare-hordea naho menake naho divay nisaontsien-talèkoy, le ampañitrifo amo mpitoro’oo,
“Now please send us the wheat and barley and olive oil and wine that you promised to send to us.
16 vaho hamira hatae boak’e Lebanone atoy zahay, ty hamaro paia’o; le hendese’ay hihafo mb’andriake mb’e Iopà añe, le Ihe ty hinday aze mb’e Ierosalaime mb’eo.
When you do that, my workers will cut from trees in the Lebanon mountains all the logs that you need [and bring them down to the sea]. Then we will [tie the logs together to] form rafts with them, and float them in the sea to Joppa [city]. From there, you [can arrange for] them [to be] taken up to Jerusalem.
17 Vinolili’ i Selomò ze hene renetane an-tane Israeleo, ty amy famoliliañe nanoe’ i Davide iareoy, le nahatendreke rai-hetse-tsi-lime-ale-tsi-telo-arivo-tsi-enenjato.
Solomon told his workers to count all the people from other countries who were living in Israel, similar to what his father David had done. There were 153,600 of them.
18 Le tinendre’e ho mpijiny ty valo-ale naho mpihali-vato am-bohitse ey ty fito-ale vaho mpisary hanoro asa am’irezay ty telo-arivo-tsi-enen-jato.
Solomon assigned 70,000 of them to carry materials, and 80,000 to cut stone [from quarries in] the hills, and 3,600 of them to supervise the others and be sure that they worked steadily.
