< 2 Chronicles 2 >

1 Solomoni pinnu láti kọ́ ilé fún orúkọ Olúwa àti ilé kan fún ìjọba rẹ̀
Now Solomon decided to build a house for Yahweh’s name, and a house 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 counted out seventy thousand men to bear burdens, eighty thousand men who were stone cutters in the mountains, and three thousand six hundred to oversee 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 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 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.
Behold, I am about to build a house for the name of Yahweh 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 Yahweh our God. This is an ordinance forever to Israel.
5 “Ilé Olúwa tí èmi yóò kọ́ yóò tóbi, nítorí pé Ọlọ́run wa tóbi ju gbogbo àwọn ọlọ́run mìíràn lọ.
“The house which I am building will be great, for our God is greater than all 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 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 “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.
“Now therefore send me a man skillful 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 skillful men who are with me in Judah and in 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 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 Láti pèsè ọ̀pọ̀ igi rírẹ́ fún mi, nítorí ilé Olúwa tí mo kọ́ gbọdọ̀ tóbi kí o sì lógo púpọ̀.
even to prepare me timber in abundance; for the house which I am about to build will be great and wonderful.
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.”
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 Hiramu ọba Tire fèsì padà nípasẹ̀ ìwé sí Solomoni: “Nítorí tí Olúwa fẹ́ràn àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀, ó ti ṣe ọ́ ní ọba wọn.”
Then Huram 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.
Huram continued, “Blessed be Yahweh, 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 Yahweh and a house for his kingdom.
13 “Èmi ń rán Huramu-Abi, ọkùnrin tí ó kún fún ìmọ̀ àti òye sí ọ.
Now I have sent a skillful man, endowed with understanding, Huram-abi,

the son of a woman of the daughters of Dan; and his father was a man of Tyre. He is skillful 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 skillful men, and with the skillful men of my lord 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 therefore, the wheat, the barley, the oil, and the wine which my lord has spoken of, let him send 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.”
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 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, after the census with which David his father had counted them; and they found one hundred fifty-three thousand six hundred.
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 set seventy thousand of them to bear burdens, eighty thousand who were stone cutters in the mountains, and three thousand six hundred overseers to assign the people their work.
