1 Solomon nochiwo chik mondo ger hekalu ni Nying Jehova Nyasaye kod ode mar ruoth.
Solomon ordered that a temple should be built where Yahweh would be worshiped and also that a palace should be built for himself.
2 Nondiko jotingʼ gik moko ji alufu piero abiriyo gi jopa kite e got ji alufu piero aboro kod nyipeche alufu adek gi mia auchiel.
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.
3 Solomon noorone Hiram ruodh Turo wach niya, “Orna yiend sida kaka ne iorone wuora Daudi sida mane ogerogo ode mar dak.
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?
4 Sani achiegni gero hekalu ni Nying Jehova Nyasaye Nyasacha mondo achiwne kaka kar wangʼo ubani mangʼwe ngʼar e nyime. Hekaluni nobed kama iketoe makati mowal e nyime pile, kendo kama ichiwoe misengini miwangʼo pep mapile pile okinyi godhiambo. Misenginigi bende notim kinde Sabato kod ndalo ma dwe opor, kaachiel gi sewni moyier mag Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa. Ma en chik mochwere ni jo-Israel.
“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 “Hekalu ma anager nobed maduongʼ nikech Nyasachwa duongʼ moloyo nyiseche mamoko duto.
[We want] this temple [to] be a great temple, because our God is greater than all other gods.
6 To en ngʼa manyalo gerone hekalu, ka kata polo malo kata polo mabor moloyo ok nyal romi? An to an ngʼa mondo agerne hekalu makmana gero kama iwangʼoe misengini e nyime?
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.
7 “Yie iorna ngʼama olony e tij dhahabu kod fedha, kod mula kod nyinyo kendo mongʼeyo loso law maralik gi makwar kod marambulu kendo man-gi ngʼeyo kuom goro gik mamoko mondo oti gi jotichna molony man Juda gi Jerusalem mane Daudi wuora oketo.
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 “Kowna bende yiend sida gi saipras gi algumo mag Lebanon nimar angʼeyo ni jotiji olony e ngʼado yiende kanyo. Jotijena biro tiyo kanyakla kod jotijegi
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 mondo giikna yiende mangʼeny nikech hekalu magero nyaka bed maduongʼ kendo miwuoro.
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 Anami jotichni ma jongʼad yien gunde alufu piero angʼwen mag ngano moregi, gi gunde alufu piero ariyo gariyo mag shairi gi degi alufu angʼwen mag divai kod depe alufu angʼwen mag mo.”
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.”
11 Hiram ruodh Turo nodwoko Solomon gi baruwa kowacho: “Nikech Jehova Nyasaye ohero joge oseketi idoko ruodhgi.”
[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 Kendo Hiram nomedo wacho niya, “Pak odogne Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach jo-Israel mane ochweyo polo gi piny! Osemiyo Ruoth Daudi wuowi mariek, mongʼeyo fwono tiend weche kendo fwenyo gik moko, en ema noger hekalu ne Jehova Nyasaye to gi od ruoth modakie owuon.
[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 “Aoroni Huram-Abi ngʼat man-gi lony maduongʼ
“I will be sending to you Huram-Abi, a man who is very skilled.
14 ma min-gi ne nyar Dan to wuon-gi ne ja-Turo. Ne otiegore e tije dhahabu, kod fedha, mula kod nyinyo, kidi kod yien, kendo kuom loso lewni maralik gi marambulu gi marakwaro to gi law katana maber. En kod lony mangʼeny kuom kit goro duto kendo loso kido moro amora momiye. Enoti gi jotijegi molony kaachiel gi mag ruodha Daudi wuonu.
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 “Emomiyo ruodha yie iorna ngano gi shairi kod mo zeituni kod divai mane isingo.
“Now please send us the wheat and barley and olive oil and wine that you promised to send to us.
16 Wanatongʼ yiend Lebanon moromo kaka idwaro kendo nwatwegi kanyakla ma wakwangʼ-gi e nam nyaka Jopa, eka iniomgi mitergi Jerusalem.”
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 Solomon nokwano jodak duto man Israel bangʼ kwan mane wuon mare Daudi nosekwano kendo noyudo ni gin ji alufu mia achiel gi piero abich gadek gi mia auchiel.
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 Ne oketo ji alufu piero abiriyo kuomgi mondo obed jotingʼo to ji alufu piero aboro opa kite e gode kaachiel gi ji alufu adek gi mia auchiel ma nyipechegi mondo omi ji oti.
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.
