2 Seenaa 2

1 Solomoonis akka Maqaa Waaqayyootiif manni qulqullummaa ofii isaaf immoo masaraan mootummaa ijaaramu ni ajaje.

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

2 Innis namoota baʼaa baatan 70,000 warra gaarran irratti dhagaa cabsan 80,000 fi warra isaan toʼatan 3,600 gurmeesse.

And Solomon counted 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 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.

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 a house to dwell therein, even so deal with me.

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.

Behold, I am about to build a 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 showbread, and for the burnt-offerings morning and evening, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the appointed seasons of the LORD our God. This is an ordinance for ever to Israel.

5 “Sababii Waaqni keenya waaqota kaan hunda irra guddaa taʼeef, manni qulqullummaa kan ani ijaaruuf jiru guddaa ni taʼa.

And the house which I build is great; for great is our God 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?

But who is able to build Him a house, seeing the heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain Him? who am I then, that I should build Him a house, save only to offer 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.

Now therefore send me a man skilful to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in iron, and in purple, and crimson, and blue, and that hath skill to grave all manner of gravings, to be with the skilful men that are with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father did provide.

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;

Send me also cedar-trees, cypress-trees, and sandal-wood, out of Lebanon; for I know that thy servants have skill to cut timber in Lebanon; and, behold, my servants shall be with thy servants,

9 sababii manni qulqullummaa kan ani ijaaruuf jiru guddaa fi akka malee miidhagaa taʼuu qabuuf isaan muka hedduu naa qopheessuutii.

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

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.”

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 Huuraam mootichi Xiiroos akkana jedhee xalayaadhaan Solomooniif deebise: “Waaqayyo waan saba isaa jaallatuuf mootii isaanii si godhe.”

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 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.

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 a house for the LORD, and a house for his kingdom.

13 “Ani kunoo Huuraamabii namicha ogummaa guddaa qabu tokko siif ergeera;

And now I have sent a skilful man, endued with understanding, even Huram my master craftsman,

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 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; to do whatever may be set before him, with thy skilful men, and with the skilful men of my lord David thy father.

15 “Kanaafuu amma gooftaan koo qamadii fi garbuu, zayitii ejersaatii fi daadhii wayinii kan abdachiise sana garboota isaatiif haa ergu;

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 nus muka si barbaachisu hunda Libaanoonii murree walitti hiinee hamma Yoopheetti galaana irra gad siif ergina. Ati immoo Yerusaalemitti ni geeffatta.”

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 Solomoon erga Daawit abbaan isaa saba lakkaaʼeen duubatti alagoota Israaʼel keessa jiraatan hunda ni lakkaaʼe; baayʼinni isaaniis 153,600 taʼe.

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 a hundred and fifty thousand and three thousand and 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 set threescore and ten thousand of them to bear burdens, and fourscore thousand to be hewers in the mountains, and three thousand and six hundred overseers to set the people at work.
