Solomon ordered that a temple should be built where Yahweh would be worshiped and also that a palace should be built for himself.

He selected 70,000 men to carry the building supplies and 80,000 men to cut stones [(from quarries/walls of rock) in] the hills. He also chose 3,600 men to supervise them.

Solomon sent this message to King Hiram of Tyre [city]: “[Many years ago] when my father David was building his palace, you sent to him cedar logs. Will you send me cedar logs, too?

“We are about to build a temple where we will worship Yahweh our God. We want to dedicate it to be a place where we will burn fragrant incense to [honor] him, and a place to put loaves of sacred bread, and for making sacrifices every morning and every evening and every Sabbath day, and to celebrate on the day of every new moon and at other special religious festivals to [honor] Yahweh our God. We want to do those things forever, like Yahweh has commanded.
5 Na da Debolo Diasu noga: idafa gagumusa: ilegesa. Bai ninia Gode da bagadedafa. E da eno ‘gode’ liligi bagadewane baligisa.
[We want] this temple [to] be a great temple, because our God is greater than all other gods.
6 Be osobo bagade dunu da dafawane Godema debolo gagumu hamedei ba: sa. Bai E da bagadedafaba: le mu bagadedafa da Ema fonobahadi agoai ba: sa. Amaiba: le, na da E amo ganodini esaloma: ne, habodane Debolo Diasu gaguma: bela: ? Na gagumu liligi da Ema gabusiga: gobele salasu diasu fawane ba: mu gala.
But no one can really build a temple that would be big enough for God [to live in], because even the highest heavens are not big enough for him. And I am worthy only to build a place where we can burn sacrifices to him.

Therefore, please send me a man who knows well how to make things from gold and silver and bronze and iron, and to make things from purple and red and blue cloth. He should also know well how to engrave designs. I want him to work in Jerusalem and in other places in Judah with my skilled craftsmen, the ones whom my father David appointed.
8 Na dawa: Dia dunu ilia ifa abusa: su bagade dawa: Amaiba: le, dolo, saibalase amola yunibe ifa Lebanone sogega abusale, nama iasima. Na da na hawa: hamosu dunu, dia fi dunuma fidima: ne asunasimu.
I know that your workers are skilled in cutting timber, so also please send me cedar logs, pine logs, and juniper logs from the Lebanon mountains. My workers will work with your workers.
9 Ninia da ifa bagohame momagela: di. Bai Debolo Diasu na gagumu ilegei da bagade amola noga: idafa ba: mu.
In that way, those workers will provide me with plenty of lumber. [We will need plenty, ] because I want the temple that we will build to be large and beautiful.
10 Na da widi gala: ine 2,000 danese, bali gala: ine 2,000 ‘danese’ agoane, waini hano 400,000 lida agoane, amola olife susuligi noga: idafa 400,000 lida agoane, dia hawa: hamosu dunu ili moma: ne, dima iasimu.”
I will pay your workers, the men who cut the logs, 100,000 bushels of ground wheat, 100,000 bushels of barley, 110,000 gallons of wine, and 110,000 gallons of olive oil.”
[When] Hiram [received that message, he] replied by sending this message to Solomon: “Because Yahweh loves his people, he has appointed you to be their king.”
12 Hina bagade Haila: me da Soloumanema meloa agoane dedene iasi, “Wali eso, Hina Gode, mu amola osobo bagade Hahamosu Dunu, Ema nodoma! Bai E da Da: ibidima bagade dawa: su mano i dagoi. Amola e da wali Hina Gode Ea Debolo Diasu amola hina bagade diasu gagumusa: ilegei dagoi.
[And Hiram added, ] “Praise Yahweh, the God to whom the Israeli people belong, the one who created the sky and the earth! He has given King David a wise son, one who is very smart/intelligent and who has good skill and understanding. He wants to build a temple for Yahweh and a palace for himself.
13 Na da bagade dawa: su hawa: hamosu dunu ea dio amo Hiula: me, amo dima asunasimu.
“I will be sending to you Huram-Abi, a man who is very skilled.

His mother was from the tribe of Dan, and his father was from [here in] Tyre. He is very able to make things from gold and silver and bronze and iron and stone and wood, but he also makes nice things from purple and blue and red cloth, and he does all kinds of engraving. He can make things using any design/pattern that you give to him. He will work with your craftsmen, and the craftsmen who did work for your father, King David.
15 Amaiba: le, widi, bali, waini hano, amola olife susuligi, di ninima imunusa: ilegele sia: i liligi, amo ninima iasima.
“Now please send us the wheat and barley and olive oil and wine that you promised to send to us.
16 Ninia da Lebanone goumi sogeganini, dolo ifa dia hanai defele abusa: le, hano wayabo bagade amogudu hiougilala dafia: le, simi amunawene, amalu hanoba: le sua: sa sa: ili, hano bega: moilai Yoba amogawi doaga: mu. Amogawi, na dunu ilia da liligi simiga fadegale, dia dunu ilia da amo ifa Yelusalemega gaguli masunu.”
When you do that, my workers will cut from trees in the Lebanon mountains all the logs that you need [and bring them down to the sea]. Then we will [tie the logs together to] form rafts with them, and float them in the sea to Joppa [city]. From there, you [can arrange for] them [to be] taken up to Jerusalem.
17 Hina bagade Soloumane da ea ada Da: ibidi ea musa: hamoi defele, ga fi dunu Isala: ili soge ganodini esalu, amo ilia dio idili dedei. Ilia idi da 153,600 agoane.
Solomon told his workers to count all the people from other countries who were living in Israel, similar to what his father David had done. There were 153,600 of them.
18 E da amo dunu mogili, hawa: hamosu ilima agoane ilegei: - E da dunu 70,000 agoane da ifa amola eno liligi gaguli masa: ne ilegei. E da dunu 80,000 agoane da agolo sogega, magufu damusu hawa: hamoma: ne ilegei. Amola ilia hawa: hamosu amo noga: le ouligima: ne, e da sesesu dunu 3,300 agoane ilegei.
Solomon assigned 70,000 of them to carry materials, and 80,000 to cut stone [from quarries in] the hills, and 3,600 of them to supervise the others and be sure that they worked steadily.
