2 Seenaa 2
1 Solomoonis akka Maqaa Waaqayyootiif manni qulqullummaa ofii isaaf immoo masaraan mootummaa ijaaramu ni ajaje.
Now Solomon decided to build a house for the LORD’s name, 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.
Solomon counted out seventy thousand men to bear burdens, eighty thousand men who were stone cutters 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.
Solomon sent to Huram the king of Tyre, saying, “As you dealt with David my father, and sent him cedars to build him a house in which to dwell, 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, to burn before him incense of sweet spices, for the continual show bread, and for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the Sabbaths, on the new moons, and on the set feasts of the LORD our God. This is an ordinance forever to Israel.
5 “Sababii Waaqni keenya waaqota kaan hunda irra guddaa taʼeef, manni qulqullummaa kan ani ijaaruuf jiru guddaa ni taʼa.
“The house which I am building will be great, for our God is greater than 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, since heaven and the heaven of heavens can’t contain him? Who am I then, that I should build him a house, except just to burn incense 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, in silver, in bronze, in iron, and in purple, crimson, and blue, and who knows how to engrave engravings, to be with the skilful men who are with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father provided.
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 algum trees out of Lebanon, for I know that your servants know how to cut timber in Lebanon. Behold, 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.
even to prepare me timber in abundance; for the house which I am about to build will 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.”
Behold, I will give to your servants, the cutters who cut timber, twenty thousand cors of beaten wheat, twenty thousand baths of barley, 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 loves his people, he has made you 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 continued, “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who made heaven and earth, who has given to David the king a wise son, endowed with discretion and understanding, who would build a house for the LORD and a house for his kingdom.
13 “Ani kunoo Huuraamabii namicha ogummaa guddaa qabu tokko siif ergeera;
Now I have sent a skilful man, endowed with understanding, Huram-abi,
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. He is skilful to work in gold, in silver, in bronze, in iron, in stone, in timber, in purple, in blue, in fine linen, and in crimson, also to engrave any kind of engraving and to devise any device, that there may be a place appointed to him with your skilful men, and with the skilful men 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;
“Now therefore, the wheat, the barley, the oil, and the wine which my lord has spoken of, let him send to 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 you need. We will bring it to you in rafts by sea to Joppa; then you shall 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.
Solomon counted all the foreigners who were in Eretz-Israel, after the census with which David his father had counted them; and they found one hundred and fifty-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.
He set seventy thousand of them to bear burdens, eighty thousand who were stone cutters in the mountains, and three thousand and six hundred overseers to assign the people their work.
