< 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.
Hiiraam mootichi Xiiroos yommuu akka Solomoon abbaa isaa Daawitin iddoo buʼuuf dibame dhagaʼetti ergamoota isaa gara Solomoonitti erge; Hiiraam yeroo kam iyyuu michuu Daawit tureetii.
2 And Solomon relayed this message to Hiram:
Solomoonis akkana jedhee Hiiraamiif ergaa kana deebisee erge:
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.
“Akka Abbaan koo Daawit sababii waraana karaa hundaan isa marsee ture sanaatiif hamma Waaqayyo diinota isaa miilla isaa jala galchuufitti Maqaa Waaqayyo Waaqa isaatiif mana qulqullummaa ijaaruu hin dandaʼin atuu beekta.
4 But now the LORD my God has given me rest on every side, and there is no adversary or crisis.
Amma garuu Waaqayyo Waaqni koo karaa hundaan boqonnaa naa kenneera; diinni yookaan balaan tokko iyyuu hin jiru.
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.’
Kanaafuu ani amma akkuma Waaqayyo abbaa koo Daawitiin, ‘Ilmi kee kan ani iddoo kee teessoo kee irra teessisu Maqaa kootiif mana qulqullummaa ni ijaara’ jedhe sanatti Maqaa Waaqayyo Waaqa kootiif mana qulqullummaa ijaaruu yaadeera.
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.”
“Kanaafuu akka birbirsi Libaanoon naaf muramu ajaji. Namoonni koo namoota kee wajjin hojjetu; anis mindaa ati hojjettoota keetiif murteessitu kam iyyuu siifin kaffala. Akka nu muka baqaqsuu irratti akka Siidoonotaa ogeeyyii hin taʼin atuu beekta.”
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!”
Hiiraamis yommuu dhaamsa Solomoon sana dhagaʼetti akka malee gammadee, “Harʼa Waaqayyo haa eebbifamu; inni akka Solomoon saba guddaa kana bulchuuf ilma ogeessa kana Daawitiif kenneeraatii” jedhe.
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.
Kanaafuu Hiiraam akkana jedhee Solomoonitti ergaa erge: “Ani ergaa ati naa ergite argadheera; birbirsaa fi jirma birbirsaa dhiʼeessuudhaan waan ati barbaaddu hunda siifan godha.
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.”
Namoonni koo Libaanoon irraa gara galaanaatti gad fidu; anis walitti hidhee lafa ati filattutti galaana irra siifan erga; achittis gargari nan hiika. Atis muka sana ni fudhatta; warra mana koo jiraataniif immoo nyaata dhiʼeessuudhaan fedhii koo guutta.”
10 So Hiram provided Solomon with all the cedar and cypress timber he wanted,
Hiiroomis akkasiin birbirsaa fi jirma birbirsaa kan Solomooniif barbaachisu dhiʼeessaafii ture.
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.
Solomoonis akka warra mana Hiiraam jiraataniif nyaata taʼuuf qamadii safartuu qoroosii kuma digdamaa fi zayitii ejersaa kan cuunfame koorii kuma digdama kenne. Solomoon ittuma fufee wagguma waggaan waan kana Hiiraamiif kennaa ture.
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.
Waaqayyos akkuma isa abdachiisetti Solomooniif ogummaa ni kenne. Hiiraamii fi Solomoon gidduu walitti dhufeenya nagaatu ture; isaan lamaanuu walii galtee godhatan.
13 Then King Solomon conscripted a labor force of 30,000 men from all Israel.
Solomoon mootichis Israaʼel hunda keessaa namoota dirqiidhaan hojii humnaa hojjetan kuma soddoma walitti qabe.
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.
Innis akka isaan jiʼa tokko Libaanoon keessa, jiʼa lamaa immoo mana isaanii turaniif jedhee, jiʼa tokko tokkoof nama kuma kudhan qoodee Libaanoonitti erge. Adooniiraam immoo itti gaafatamaa namoota dirqiidhaan hojii humnaa hojjetanii ture.
15 Solomon had 70,000 porters and 80,000 stonecutters in the mountains,
Solomoon namoota baʼaa baatan kuma torbaatamaa fi warra dhagaa cabsan kuma saddeettama gaarran keessaa qaba ture;
16 not including his 3,300 foremen who supervised the workers.
akkasumas namoota hojii hojjechiisanii hojjettoota illee toʼatan kuma sadii fi dhibba sadii qaba ture.
17 And the king commanded them to quarry large, costly stones to lay the foundation of the temple with dressed stones.
Isaanis mootichi ajaja kenninaan dhagoota soofamaniin hundee mana qulqullummaa buusuudhaaf dhagoota gurguddaa fi dhagoota gatii guddaa fidan.
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.
Ogeeyyiin hojii harkaa Solomoonii fi Hiiroom akkasumas namoonni Gebaal mana qulqullummaa ijaaruuf mukaa fi dhagaa cabsanii qopheessan.
