2 Chronicles 2
1 Solomoni pinnu láti kọ́ ilé fún orúkọ Olúwa àti ilé kan fún ìjọba rẹ̀
Now Solomon commanded the building of a house for Yahweh's name and the building of a palace for his kingdom.
2 Solomoni sì yan ẹgbẹ̀rún ní ọ̀nà àádọ́rin àwọn ọkùnrin láti ru ẹrù àti ọ̀kẹ́ mẹ́rin àwọn ọkùnrin gẹ́gẹ́ bi olùgé-òkúta ní àwọn òkè àti ẹgbẹ̀rún mẹ́rìndínlógójì gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn alábojútó lórí wọn.
Solomon assigned seventy thousand men to carry loads, and eighty thousand men as stonecutters in the mountains, and 3,600 men to supervise them.
3 Solomoni rán iṣẹ́ yìí sí Hiramu ọba Tire: “Rán àwọn igi kedari sí mi gẹ́gẹ́ bí o ti ṣe fún baba à mi Dafidi. Nígbà tí ó fi igi kedari ránṣẹ́ sí i láti kọ́ ààfin tí ó ń gbé.
Solomon sent a message to Hiram, the king of Tyre, saying, “As you did with David my father, sending him cedar logs to build a house to live in, do the same with me.
4 Nísinsin yìí, èmi n kọ́ ilé kan fún orúkọ Olúwa Ọlọ́run mi àti láti yà á sí mímọ́ fún un àti láti sun tùràrí olóòórùn dídùn níwájú rẹ̀, fún gbígbé àkàrà ìfihàn ìgbàkúgbà, àti fún ṣíṣe ẹbọ sísun ní gbogbo àárọ̀ àti ìrọ̀lẹ́ àti ní ọjọọjọ́ ìsinmi àti oṣù tuntun àti ní àjọ̀dún tí a yàn ti Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa. Èyí ni àṣẹ fún Israẹli láéláé.
See, I am about to build a house for the name of Yahweh my God, to set it apart to him, to burn incense of sweet spices before him, to set out the bread of the presence, and for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the Sabbaths and on the new moons, and on the appointed feasts for Yahweh our God. This is forever, for Israel.
5 “Ilé Olúwa tí èmi yóò kọ́ yóò tóbi, nítorí pé Ọlọ́run wa tóbi ju gbogbo àwọn ọlọ́run mìíràn lọ.
The house that I will build will be very large, for our God is greater than all other gods.
6 Ṣùgbọ́n ta ni ó le è kọ́ ilé fún Olúwa, níwọ̀n ìgbà tí àwọn ọ̀run, àní ọ̀run àwọn ọ̀run tó ga jùlọ, kò le è gbà á? Ta ni èmi nígbà náà láti kọ́ ilé fún Olúwa, bí kò ṣe kìkì àti sun ẹbọ sun ẹbọ níwájú rẹ̀?
But who is able to build God a house, since the entire universe and even heaven itself cannot contain him? Who am I to build him a house, except to burn sacrifices before him?
7 “Nítorí náà, rán ọkùnrin kan sí mi, tí a kọ́ láti ṣiṣẹ́ pẹ̀lú wúrà àti fàdákà àti idẹ àti irin, àti ní àwọ̀ àlùkò àti àwọ̀ pupa fòò àti ní àwọ̀ ojú ọ̀run, tí ó jẹ́ onímọ̀ nínú iṣẹ́ igi gbígbẹ́ láti ṣiṣẹ́ ní Juda àti Jerusalẹmu pẹ̀lú àwọn onímọ̀ oníṣọ̀nà tí baba à mi Dafidi pèsè.
So send me a man who is skilled at work in gold, silver, bronze, iron, and in purple, crimson, and blue wool, a man who knows how to make all kinds of engraved wood. He will be with the skilled men who are with me in Judah and Jerusalem, whom David my father provided.
8 “Fi ìtì igi kedari, junifa àti algumu ránṣẹ́ sí mi, láti Lebanoni, nítorí tí mo mọ̀ pé àwọn ọkùnrin rẹ ní ìmọ̀ nínú gígé igi rírẹ́. Àwọn ọkùnrin mi yóò ṣiṣẹ́ pẹ̀lú àwọn ọkùnrin rẹ.
Send me also cedar, cypress, and algum trees from Lebanon, for I know that your servants know how to cut timber in Lebanon. See, my servants will be with your servants,
9 Láti pèsè ọ̀pọ̀ igi rírẹ́ fún mi, nítorí ilé Olúwa tí mo kọ́ gbọdọ̀ tóbi kí o sì lógo púpọ̀.
in order to prepare for me timber in abundance, for the house which I am about to build will be great and marvelous.
10 Èmi yóò fún àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ, àwọn ọkùnrin agégi tí ó ń gé ìtì igi náà ni ogún ẹgbẹ̀rún, alikama ilẹ̀ àti ogún ẹgbẹ̀rún, ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ti barle; ogún ẹgbẹ̀rún, bati ọtí wáìnì àti ogún ẹgbẹ̀rún bati òróró olifi.”
See, I will give to your servants, the men who will cut the timber, twenty thousand cors of ground wheat, twenty thousand cors of barley, twenty thousand baths of wine, and twenty thousand baths of oil.”
11 Hiramu ọba Tire fèsì padà nípasẹ̀ ìwé sí Solomoni: “Nítorí tí Olúwa fẹ́ràn àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀, ó ti ṣe ọ́ ní ọba wọn.”
Then Hiram, the king of Tyre, answered in writing, which he sent to Solomon: “Because Yahweh loves his people, he has made you king over them.”
12 Hiramu fi kún un pe, “Ìyìn ni fún Olúwa, Ọlọ́run Israẹli, tí ó dá ọ̀run òun ayé! O ti fún ọba Dafidi ní ọmọ tí ó gbọ́n, tí ó kún fún ìmọ̀ àti òye, tí yóò kọ́ ilé fún Olúwa àti ààfin fún ara rẹ̀.
In addition, Hiram said, “Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, who made heaven and earth, who has given to David the king a wise son, gifted with prudence and understanding, who will build a house for Yahweh and a palace for himself.
13 “Èmi ń rán Huramu-Abi, ọkùnrin tí ó kún fún ìmọ̀ àti òye sí ọ.
Now I have sent a skillful man, Huram-Abi, who is gifted with understanding.
14 Ọmọbìnrin kan nínú àwọn ọmọbìnrin Dani àti tí baba a rẹ̀ wá láti Tire tí ó gbọ́ngbọ́n àti ṣiṣẹ́ ní wúrà àti ní fàdákà, ní idẹ, ní irin, ní òkúta àti ní ìtì igi, ní èse-àlùkò, ní aláró, àti ní ọ̀gbọ̀ tí ó dára, àti òdòdó, láti gbẹ́ onírúurú ohun gbígbẹ́ pẹ̀lú, àti láti ṣe àwárí ìmọ̀ ẹ̀rọ irú ẹ̀yàkẹ́yà tí a ó fún un ṣe.

He is the son of a woman of the daughters of Dan. His father was a man from Tyre. He is skilled at work in gold, silver, bronze, iron, stone, and in timber, and in purple, blue, and crimson wool, and fine linen. He is also skilled in making any kind of engraving and in making any kind of design. Let a place be made for him among your skilled workers, and with those of my master, David, your father.
15 “Nísinsin yìí, jẹ́ kí olúwa mi rán àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ ní alikama àti barle àti òróró Olifi náà àti ọtí tí ó ti ṣe ìlérí.
Now then, the wheat and the barley, the oil and the wine, of which my master has spoken, let him send these things to his servants.
16 Àwa yóò sì gé gbogbo àwọn ìtí igi láti Lebanoni tí ìwọ yóò lò pẹ̀lú a ó gbé wọn fò lójú omi òkun lọ sí Joppa. Lẹ́yìn náà ìwọ lè kó wọn gòkè lọ sí Jerusalẹmu.”
We will cut wood from Lebanon, as much wood as you need. We will take it to you as rafts by sea to Joppa, and you will carry it up to Jerusalem.”
17 Solomoni ka iye àwọn àjèjì tí ó wà ní Israẹli lẹ́yìn kíka iye wọn tí baba a rẹ̀ Dafidi ti ṣe; a sì ka iye wọn sí ọ̀kẹ́ mẹ́jọ ó dín egbèjìlélọ́gbọ̀n.
Solomon counted all the foreigners who were in the land of Israel, following the method that David, his father, had counted them. They were found to be 153,600.
18 Ó sì yan ẹgbẹ̀rún ní ọ̀nà àádọ́rin nínú wọn láti ru ẹrù, àti ọ̀kẹ́ mẹ́rin láti ṣe àgọ́ òkúta lórí òkè, àti egbèjìdínlógún alábojútó láti kó àwọn ènìyàn ṣiṣẹ́.
He assigned seventy thousand of them to carry loads, eighty thousand to be stonecutters in the mountains, and 3,600 to be supervisors to put the people to work.
