1 Kings 5
1 Now when Hiram king of Tyre heard that Solomon had been anointed king in his father’s place, he sent envoys to Solomon; for Hiram had always been a friend of David.
Tango Irami, mokonzi ya Tiri, ayokaki sango ete bapakolaki Salomo mafuta mpo ete akoma mokonzi mpo na kokitana na Davidi, tata na ye, atindaki bantoma epai ya Salomo, pamba te azalaki tango nyonso molingami ya Davidi.
2 And Solomon relayed this message to Hiram:
Salomo azongiselaki Irami maloba oyo:
3 “As you are well aware, due to the wars waged on all sides against my father David, he could not build a house for the Name of the LORD his God until the LORD had put his enemies under his feet.
— Oyebi malamu ete Davidi, tata na ngai, alongaki te kotonga Ndako mpo na Yawe, Nzambe na ye, likolo ya bitumba oyo azalaki na yango na bikolo oyo ezingelaki ye, kino tango Yawe atiaki bikolo yango na se ya matambe na ye.
4 But now the LORD my God has given me rest on every side, and there is no adversary or crisis.
Kasi sik’oyo, Yawe, Nzambe na ngai, apesi ngai bopemi na bangambo nyonso, mpe ezali lisusu na monguna moko te mpe na likambo moko te oyo ekoki kobangisa ngai.
5 So behold, I plan to build a house for the Name of the LORD my God, according to what the LORD said to my father David: ‘I will put your son on your throne in your place, and he will build the house for My Name.’
Sik’oyo, nazwi mokano ya kotonga Ndako mpo na lokumu ya Yawe, Nzambe na ngai, ndenge Yawe alobaki na Davidi, tata na ngai: « Ezali mwana na yo ya mobali oyo nakovandisa na kiti na yo ya bokonzi mpo na kokitana na yo nde akotonga Ndako mpo na lokumu ya Kombo na Ngai. »
6 Now therefore, order that cedars of Lebanon be cut down for me. My servants will be with your servants, and I will pay your servants whatever wages you set, for you know that there are none among us as skilled in logging as the Sidonians.”
Boye, pesa mitindo ete bakatela ngai banzete ya sedele ya Libani. Basali na ngai bakosunga basali na yo, mpe ngai nakofuta yo lifuti oyo okokata mpo na basali na yo, pamba te oyebi malamu ete ezali na bato te kati na biso oyo bayebi kokata banzete lokola bino, bato ya Sidoni.
7 When Hiram received Solomon’s message, he rejoiced greatly and said, “Blessed be the LORD this day! He has given David a wise son over this great people!”
Tango Irami ayokaki maloba ya Salomo, asepelaki na yango makasi mpe alobaki: — Tika ete Yawe apambolama, Ye oyo apesaki Davidi mwana oyo atondi na bwanya mpo na kokamba ekolo monene oyo!
8 Then Hiram sent a reply to Solomon, saying: “I have received your message; I will do all you desire regarding the cedar and cypress timber.
Irami atindelaki Salomo eyano oyo: — Nayambaki maloba oyo otindelaki ngai mpe nakosala nyonso oyo ozali na yango posa: banzete ya sedele mpe ya sipele.
9 My servants will haul the logs from Lebanon to the Sea, and I will float them as rafts by sea to the place you specify. There I will separate the logs, and you can take them away. And in exchange, you can meet my needs by providing my household with food.”
Basali na ngai bakomema banzete yango wuta na Libani kino na ebale monene, bakokangisa yango na basinga mpo na kotinda yango na nzela ya ebale monene; mpe nakosala ete ekoma kino na esika oyo okoyebisa ngai. Kuna nde nakofungola yango basinga; mpe yo, okoki kozwa mpe komema yango. Kasi yo, okokokisa posa na ngai oyo: okobanda kopesa basali ya ndako na ngai bilei.
10 So Hiram provided Solomon with all the cedar and cypress timber he wanted,
Irami apesaki epai ya Salomo banzete ya sedele mpe ya sipele nyonso oyo azalaki na yango na bosenga.
11 and year after year Solomon would provide Hiram with 20,000 cors of wheat as food for his household, as well as 20,000 baths of pure olive oil.
Salomo mpe, na ngambo na ye, azalaki kopesa mobu na mobu epai ya Irami batone nkoto motoba ya ble, balitele nkoto libwa ya mafuta ya olive ya kitoko koleka, mpo na ndako ya mokonzi.
12 And the LORD gave Solomon wisdom, as He had promised him. There was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and the two of them made a treaty.
Yawe apesaki Salomo bwanya kolanda elaka oyo apesaki ye. Boye, kimia ezalaki kati na Irami mpe Salomo, mpe bango mibale basalaki boyokani.
13 Then King Solomon conscripted a labor force of 30,000 men from all Israel.
Mokonzi Salomo azwaki kati na Isalaele mobimba bato nkoto tuku misato mpo na kosala misala makasi.
14 He sent them to Lebanon in monthly shifts of 10,000 men, so that they would spend one month in Lebanon and two months at home. And Adoniram was in charge of the forced labor.
Akabolaki bango na masanga misato ya bato nkoto zomi: babandaki kosala sanza moko, na Libani, mpe basanza mibale na ndako; lisanga moko sima na mosusu. Adonirami azalaki mokambi ya bato ya misala makasi.
15 Solomon had 70,000 porters and 80,000 stonecutters in the mountains,
Salomo azwaki lisusu na mosala bato nkoto tuku sambo mpo na komema mikumba, bato nkoto tuku mwambe mpo na kopasola mabanga kati na ngomba;
16 not including his 3,300 foremen who supervised the workers.
mpe bakambi ya misala, nkoto misato na nkama misato, bazalaki kolandela misala na bokambami ya bakonzi ya misala ya Salomo.
17 And the king commanded them to quarry large, costly stones to lay the foundation of the temple with dressed stones.
Mokonzi apesaki mitindo ete bapasola mabanga minene mpe ya kitoko mpo na kosalela yango moboko ya Tempelo.
18 So Solomon’s and Hiram’s builders, along with the Gebalites, quarried the stone and prepared the timber and stone for the construction of the temple.
Basali ya Salomo mpe ya Irami, elongo na basali oyo bawutaki na engumba Biblosi, bamikotisaki na mosala ya kokata yango, kopasola mabaya mpe kobongisa mabanga mpo na kotonga Tempelo.
