2 Seenaa 2
1 Solomoonis akka Maqaa Waaqayyootiif manni qulqullummaa ofii isaaf immoo masaraan mootummaa ijaaramu ni ajaje.
And Solomon resolved to build a house to the name of the Lord, and a palace for himself.
2 Innis namoota baʼaa baatan 70,000 warra gaarran irratti dhagaa cabsan 80,000 fi warra isaan toʼatan 3,600 gurmeesse.
And he numbered seventy thousand men to carry upon shoulders, and eighty thousand who were hewing stones in the mountains, and three thousand six hundred as their overseers.
3 Solomoon akkana jedhee Huuraam mooticha Xiiroositti ergaa kana erge: “Akkuma yeroo akka Daawit abbaan koo mana keessa jiraatu ittiin ijaarratuuf muka birbirsaa ergiteef sana anaafis muka birbirsaa ergi.
Also, he sent to Hiram, the king of Tyre, saying: “Just as you did for my father David, when you sent him cedar wood, so that he might build a house for himself, in which he then lived,
4 Kunoo ani Maqaa Waaqayyo Waaqa kootiif mana qulqullummaa ijaaree akka isa keessatti ixaanni urgaaʼaan fuula isaa duratti aarfamuuf, akka buddeenni qulqulleeffame yeroo yerootti dhiʼeeffamuu fi akka ganama hundaa fi galgala hunda, guyyoota Sanbataa, guyyaa Baatii Haaraatii fi guyyaa ayyaana Waaqayyo Waaqa keenyaa kan murtaaʼetti aarsaan gubamu dhiʼeeffamuuf addaan baasee isaa kennuuf yaadeera. Kunis Israaʼeliitiif seera bara baraa ti.
do so also for me, so that I may build a house to the name of the Lord my God, so that I may consecrate it for the burning of incense before him, and for the smoke of aromatics, and for the perpetual bread of the presence, and for the holocausts, in morning and in evening, as well as on the Sabbaths and new moons and solemnities of the Lord our God forever, which have been commanded to Israel.
5 “Sababii Waaqni keenya waaqota kaan hunda irra guddaa taʼeef, manni qulqullummaa kan ani ijaaruuf jiru guddaa ni taʼa.
For the house that I desire to build is great. For our God is great, above all gods.
6 Garuu waan samiiwwanii fi samiiwwan samii olii iyyuu isa baachuu hin dandeenyeef eenyutu mana qulqullummaa isaaf ijaaruu dandaʼa? Yoos iddoo aarsaan itti fuula isaa duratti gubamu malee mana qulqullummaa isaaf ijaaruuf ani eenyu?
So then, who will be able prevail, so that he may build a worthy house for him? If heaven and the heavens of heavens cannot contain him, what am I that I would be able to build a house to him? But let it be for this only, so that incense may be burned before him.
7 “Kanaafuu akka inni ogeeyyii koo kanneen dandeettii hojii harkaa qaban warra abbaan koo Daawit qopheesse wajjin Yihuudaa fi Yerusaalem keessaa hojjetuuf nama hojii warqeetii fi meetiitti, hojii naasiitii fi hojii sibiilaatti hojii kirrii diimaa dhiilgeetiin, diimaa akka dhiigaatii fi cuquliisaatti ogummaa qabaatee ogummaa waa soofuutiin leenjifame tokko naaf ergi.
Therefore, send to me a learned man, who knows how to work with gold and silver, with brass and iron, with purple, scarlet, and hyacinth, and who knows how to carve engravings, along with these artisans that I have with me in Judea and Jerusalem, whom my father David has prepared.
8 “Akkasumas muka gaattiraa, muka birbirsaatii fi muka sandalii Libaanoon keessaa naaf ergi; ani akka namoonni kee ogummaa muka muruu qaban beekaatii. Namoonni koos namoota kee wajjin ni hojjetu;
Then too, send to me cedar wood, and juniper, and pine from Lebanon. For I know that your servants know how to cut timber from Lebanon, and my servants will be with your servants,
9 sababii manni qulqullummaa kan ani ijaaruuf jiru guddaa fi akka malee miidhagaa taʼuu qabuuf isaan muka hedduu naa qopheessuutii.
so that very much wood may be prepared for me. For the house that I desire to build is exceedingly great and glorious.
10 Anis garboota kee warra muka muraniif daakuu qamadii qoroosii kuma digdama, garbuu qoroosii kuma digdama, daadhii wayinii baadoosii kuma digdamaa fi zayitii ejersaa baadoosii kuma digdama nan kenna.”
In addition, I will give to your servants, the workers who will cut down the trees, for provisions: twenty thousand cor of wheat, and the same number of cor of barley, and twenty thousand measures of wine, as well as twenty thousand good measures of oil.”
11 Huuraam mootichi Xiiroos akkana jedhee xalayaadhaan Solomooniif deebise: “Waaqayyo waan saba isaa jaallatuuf mootii isaanii si godhe.”
Then Hiram, the king of Tyre, said, by a letter that had been sent to Solomon: “Because the Lord loved his people, for this reason he appointed you to reign over them.”
12 Huuraamis ittuma fufee akkana jedhe: “Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel inni samii fi lafa uume sun haa eebbifamu! Inni Daawit mootichaaf ilma beekaa ogummaa fi hubannaan guutame kan Waaqayyoof mana qulqullummaa, ofii isaatiif immoo masaraa mootummaa ijaaru tokko kenneera.
And he added, saying: “Blessed is the Lord, the God of Israel, who made heaven and earth, who gave to king David a son who is wise, and learned, and intelligent as well as prudent, so that he may build a house to the Lord, and a palace for himself.
13 “Ani kunoo Huuraamabii namicha ogummaa guddaa qabu tokko siif ergeera;
Therefore, I have sent my father Hiram to you; he is a prudent and very knowledgeable man,
14 haati isaa nama biyya Daanii ti; abbaan isaa immoo nama biyya Xiiroosii ti. Innis ogummaa hojii warqeetii fi meetii, kan naasiitii fi sibiilaa, kan dhagaatii fi mukaa, akkasumas kirrii diimaa dhiilgee, cuquliisaa, diimaa akka dhiigaatii fi quncee talbaa haphiitiin leenjifameera. Inni nama hojii waa soofuu gosa hundaatiin ogummaa kuufate kan karoora itti kenname kam iyyuu raawwachuu dandaʼuu dha. Innis ogeeyyii keetii fi ogeeyyii gooftaa koo, abbaa kee Daawit wajjin ni hojjeta.
the son of a woman from the daughters of Dan, whose father was a Tyrian, who knows how to work with gold and silver, with brass and iron, and with marble and timber, as well as with purple, and hyacinth, and fine linen, and scarlet. And he knows how to carve every kind of engraving, and how to devise prudently whatever may be necessary to the work, with your artisans and with the artisans of my lord David, your father.
15 “Kanaafuu amma gooftaan koo qamadii fi garbuu, zayitii ejersaatii fi daadhii wayinii kan abdachiise sana garboota isaatiif haa ergu;
Therefore, send the wheat and barley and oil and wine, which you, my lord, have promised, to your own servants.
16 nus muka si barbaachisu hunda Libaanoonii murree walitti hiinee hamma Yoopheetti galaana irra gad siif ergina. Ati immoo Yerusaalemitti ni geeffatta.”
Then we will cut down as much wood from Lebanon as you will need, and we will convey them as rafts by sea to Joppa. Then it will be for you to transfer them to Jerusalem.”
17 Solomoon erga Daawit abbaan isaa saba lakkaaʼeen duubatti alagoota Israaʼel keessa jiraatan hunda ni lakkaaʼe; baayʼinni isaaniis 153,600 taʼe.
And so Solomon numbered all the new converts who were in the land of Israel, after the numbering that David his father had done, and they were found to be one hundred fifty thousand and three thousand six hundred.
18 Innis isaan keessaa nama 70,000 baʼaa baachuutti, nama 80,000 gaarran irratti dhagaa cabsuutti ramade; nama 3,600 immoo akka isaan namoota hojii hojjechiisaniif isaan irratti muude.
And he appointed seventy thousand of them, who would carry burdens on shoulders, and eighty thousand who would hew stones in the mountains, then three thousand and six hundred as overseers of the work of the people.
