2 Nyakati 8
1 Ikawa karibu ya mwisho wa miaka ishirini, kipindi ambacho Selemani alikuwa ameijenga nyumba ya Yahwe na ya kwake mwenye,
And it was from [the] end of - twenty year[s] which he built Solomon [the] house of Yahweh and own house his.
2 kwamba Selemani akaiajenga miji ambayo Hiramu alikuwa amempa, na ndani yake akawaweka watu wa Israeli.
And the cities which he had given Huram to Solomon he rebuilt Solomon them and he caused to dwell there [the] people of Israel.
3 Selemani akauavamia Hamathzoba, akaushinda.
And he went Solomon to Hamath Zobah and he prevailed over it.
4 Akaijenga Tadmori katika nyika, na miji yote ya hazina, ambayo aliijenga katika Hamathi.
And he built Tadmor in the wilderness and all [the] cities of storage which he built in Hamath.
5 Pia akaujenga Beth-horoni wa juu, na Beth-horoni wa chini, miji iliyozungushiwa kwa ukuta, malango, na makomeo.
And he built Beth Horon upper and Beth Horon lower cities of fortification walls doors and bar[s].
6 Akaujenga Baalathi na miji yote ya hazina aliyoimiliki, na miji yote kwa ajili ya magari yake na miji kwa ajili ya wapanda farasi wake, na chochote alichotamani kujenga kwa ajili ya starehe zake katika Yerusalemu, katika Lebanoni, na katika nchi zote zilizokuwa chini ya utawala wake.
And Baalath and all [the] cities of storage which they belonged to Solomon and all [the] cities of chariotry and [the] cities of the horsemen and - all [the] desire of Solomon which he desired to build in Jerusalem and in Lebanon and in all [the] land of dominion his.
7 Kuhusu watu wengine wote ambao walikuwa wamesalia wa Wahiti, Waamori, Waperizi, Wahivi, Wayebusi, ambao hawakuwa wa Israeli,
All the people which remained of the Hittite[s] and the Amorite[s] and the Perizzite[s] and the Hivite[s] and the Jebusite[s] which not [were] from Israel they.
8 watoto wao ambao waliachwa baada yao katika nchi, ambaoa watu wa Israeli hawakuwaangamiza—Selemani akawafanyisha kazi kwa nguvu, ndivyo walivyo hata leo.
Some of descendants their who they remained after them in the land whom not they had destroyed them [the] people of Israel and he brought up them Solomon to forced labor until the day this.
9 Vile vile, Selemani hakuwafanyisha kazi kwa nguvu watu wa Israeli. Badala yake, wakawa wanajeshsi wake, maakida wake, wakuu wake, na maakida wa magari ya majeshi yake na wapanda farasi wake.
And of [the] people of Israel whom not he made Solomon into slaves for work his for they [were] men of war and [the] commanders of officers his and [the] commanders of chariotry his and horsemen his.
10 Pia hawa walikuwa wakuu wa wakuu wakisimamia wasimamizi waliokuwa wa mfalme Selemani, walikuwa 250, waliowasimamia watu walioifanya kazi.
And these [were] [the] commanders of (the overseers *Q(K)*) who [belonged] to the king Solomon fifty and two hundred who ruled over the people.
11 Selemani akamleta binti Farao nje ya mji wa Daudi kwenye nyumba aaliyokuwa amemjengea, kwa maana alisema, “Mke wangu lazima asiishi kataika nyumba ya Daudi mfalme wa Israeli, kwa sababu kila linapokuja sanduku la Yahwe ni takatifu”.
And [the] daughter of Pharaoh he brought up Solomon from [the] city of David to the house which he had built for her for he said not she will dwell a wife of me in [the] house of David [the] king of Israel for [are] holiness they [places] where it has come to them [the] ark of Yahweh.
12 Kisha Selemani akatoa sadaka za kuteketezwa juu ya madhabahu yake ambayo alikuwa ametengeza mbele ya ukumbi.
Then he offered up Solomon burnt offerings to Yahweh on [the] altar of Yahweh which he had built before the porch.
13 Akatoa sadaka kama ilivyohitaka katika ratiba ya kila siku; akazitoa, kwa kufuata maelekezo yaliyokuwa katika amari ya Musa, katika siku za Sabato, miezi mipya, na katika siku zilizopangwa mara tatu kila mwaka: Sikukuu ya mikate isiyochachwa, sikukuu ya majuma, na sikuku ya vibanda.
And a matter of a day in a day to offer up according to [the] commandment of Moses for the sabbaths and for the new moons and for the appointed times three times in the year at [the] festival of the unleavened bread and at [the] festival of the weeks and at [the] festival of booths.
14 Katika kuyatunza maagizo ya baba yake Daudi, Selemani akayapanga makundi ya makuhani kwenye kazi yao, na Walawi kwenye nafasi zao, ili kumsisfu Mungu na kuhudumu mbele za makuhani, kama ilivyotakiwa katika ratiba ya kila siku. Pia akawateua walinda lango kwa zamu zao kwa kila lango, kwa maana Daudi, mtu wa Mungu, alikuwa ameagiza hivyo pia.
And he appointed according to [the] ordinance of David father his [the] divisions of the priests on service their and the Levites on duties their to praise and to serve before the priests to [the] matter of a day in day its and the gatekeepers by divisions their for a gate and a gate for [was] thus [the] commandment of David [the] man of God.
15 Watu hawa hawakupotea kutoka kwenye amri ya mfalme kwa makuhani na Walawi kuhusu jambo lolote, au kuhusu vyumba vya hazina.
And not they turned aside [the] command of the king on the priests and the Levites to any matter and to the treasuries.
16 Kazi yote aliyoagizwa na Selemani ikakamilika, kutoka siku msingi wa nyumba ya Yahwe ulipowekwa hadi ilipokamilika. Nyumba ya Yahwe ikamalizika.
And it was arranged all [the] work of Solomon until the day of [the] foundation of [the] house of Yahweh and until was complete it [was] complete [the] house of Yahweh.
17 Kisha Selemani akaenda Esion geberi, na Elothi, juu ya pwani katika nchi ya Edomu.
Then he went Solomon to Ezion Geber and to Elath on [the] shore of the sea in [the] land of Edom.
18 Hiramu akatuma meli zake kupitia watumishi wake ambao walikuwa wana maji wenye uzoefu. Wakasafiri na Selemani na watumishi wa Semani hadi Ofiri. Wakachukua kutoka huko talanta 450 za dhahabu ambazo walimletea Selemani.
And he sent to him Huram by [the] hand of servants his (ships *Q(k)*) and servants [who] knew [the] sea and they went with [the] servants of Solomon Ophir towards and they took from there four hundred and fifty talent[s] of gold and they brought [it] to the king Solomon.
