1 Kings 9
1 Now when Solomon had finished building the house of the LORD and the royal palace, and had achieved all that he had desired to do,
Rĩrĩa Solomoni aarĩkirie gwaka hekarũ ya Jehova o na nyũmba ya ũthamaki, na akĩhingia maũndũ marĩa mothe erirĩirie gwĩka-rĩ,
2 the LORD appeared to him a second time, as He had appeared to him at Gibeon.
Jehova akĩmuumĩrĩra hĩndĩ ya keerĩ, o ta ũrĩa aamuumĩrĩire arĩ Gibeoni.
3 And the LORD said to him: “I have heard your prayer and petition before Me. I have consecrated this temple you have built by putting My Name there forever; My eyes and My heart will be there for all time.
Jehova akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ: “Nĩnjiguĩte kũhooya na gũthaithana kũrĩa ũhooete ũrĩ mbere yakwa; nĩnyamũrĩte hekarũ ĩno, ĩrĩa wee wakĩte, nĩgeetha ndũme Rĩĩtwa rĩakwa rĩtũũre kuo nginya tene. Maitho makwa na ngoro yakwa nĩirĩkoragwo kuo hĩndĩ ciothe.
4 And as for you, if you walk before Me as your father David walked, with a heart of integrity and uprightness, doing all I have commanded you, and if you keep My statutes and ordinances,
“No wee mwene-rĩ, ũngĩthiiaga mbere yakwa na wĩhokeku wa ngoro na ũrũngĩrĩru ta ũrĩa thoguo Daudi ekaga, na wĩkage ũrĩa ngwathĩte, na ũmenyagĩrĩre kĩrĩra kĩa watho wakwa wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo na mawatho makwa-rĩ,
5 then I will establish your royal throne over Israel forever, as I promised your father David when I said, ‘You will never fail to have a man on the throne of Israel.’
Nĩngahaanda gĩtĩ gĩaku kĩa ũnene thĩinĩ wa Isiraeli nginya tene, o ta ũrĩa nderĩire thoguo Daudi rĩrĩa ndoigire atĩrĩ, ‘Ndũkaaga mũndũ wa gũikarĩra gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene kĩa Isiraeli o naarĩ.’
6 But if indeed you or your sons turn away from following Me and do not keep the commandments and statutes I have set before you, and if you go off to serve and worship other gods,
“No wee kana ariũ aku mũngĩkagarũrũka mũtigane na niĩ, na mwage kũmenyerera maathani na kĩrĩra kĩa watho wakwa wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo kĩrĩa niĩ ndĩmũheete na mũthiĩ mũgatungatĩre ngai ingĩ na mũcihooe-rĩ,
7 then I will cut off Israel from the land that I have given them, and I will banish from My presence this temple I have sanctified for My Name. Then Israel will become an object of scorn and ridicule among all peoples.
hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩngeheria andũ a Isiraeli bũrũri ũyũ ndĩmaheete na ndiganĩrie hekarũ ĩno nyamũrĩte ĩĩtanio na Rĩĩtwa rĩakwa. Bũrũri wa Isiraeli ũgaatuĩka wa kuunagwo thimo, na kĩndũ gĩa gũthekererwo nĩ andũ othe.
8 And when this temple has become a heap of rubble, all who pass by it will be appalled and will hiss and say, ‘Why has the LORD done such a thing to this land and to this temple?’
Na o na gũtuĩka hekarũ ĩno nĩ ya kũgegania-rĩ, arĩa othe makaahĩtũkagĩra ho nĩmakamakaga na manyũrũrie moige atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmĩte Jehova eke bũrũri ũyũ na hekarũ ĩno ũndũ ta ũyũ?’
9 And others will answer, ‘Because they have forsaken the LORD their God who brought their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have embraced other gods, worshiping and serving them—because of this, the LORD has brought all this disaster upon them.’”
Andũ nĩmagacookia moige atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ tondũ nĩmatiganĩirie Jehova Ngai wao, ũrĩa warutire maithe mao bũrũri wa Misiri, makahĩmbĩria ngai ingĩ, na magacihooya na magacitungatĩra; nĩkĩo Jehova amareehithĩirie mwanangĩko ũyũ wothe.’”
10 Now at the end of the twenty years during which Solomon built these two houses, the house of the LORD and the royal palace,
Thuutha wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ, o ihinda rĩrĩa Solomoni aakire nyũmba icio cierĩ; na nĩcio hekarũ ya Jehova na nyũmba ya ũthamaki,
11 King Solomon gave twenty towns in the land of Galilee to Hiram king of Tyre, who had supplied him with cedar and cypress logs and gold for his every desire.
Mũthamaki Solomoni nĩaheire Hiramu mũthamaki wa Turo matũũra mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ kũu Galili, tondũ Hiramu nĩamũreheire mĩtarakwa yothe, na mĩthengera, na thahabu iria aabatairio nĩcio.
12 So Hiram went out from Tyre to inspect the towns that Solomon had given him, but he was not pleased with them.
No hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Hiramu ooimire Turo nĩguo akoone matũũra marĩa aaheetwo nĩ Solomoni, ndaakenirio nĩmo.
13 “What are these towns you have given me, my brother?” asked Hiram, and he called them the Land of Cabul, as they are called to this day.
Nake akĩũria Solomoni atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wa baba, nĩ matũũra matariĩ atĩa maya ũũheete?” Akĩmatua Bũrũri wa Kabuli, na noguo metagwo o na ũmũthĩ.
14 And Hiram had sent the king 120 talents of gold.
Na rĩrĩ, Hiramu nĩarĩkĩtie gũtũmĩra Mũthamaki Solomoni taranda igana rĩa mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ cia thahabu.
15 This is the account of the forced labor that King Solomon imposed to build the house of the LORD, his own palace, the supporting terraces, and the wall of Jerusalem, as well as Hazor, Megiddo, and Gezer.
Ũyũ nĩguo ũhoro wa ũrĩa Mũthamaki Solomoni aarutithirie andũ wĩra na hinya matekwĩyendera wa gwaka hekarũ ya Jehova na nyũmba ya ũthamaki, na mbenji, na rũthingo rwa Jerusalemu, na Hazoru, na Megido, na Gezeru.
16 Pharaoh king of Egypt had attacked and captured Gezer. He had set it on fire, killed the Canaanites who lived in the city, and given it as a dowry to his daughter, Solomon’s wife.
Firaũni mũthamaki wa Misiri nĩatharĩkĩire na akĩnyiita Gezeru. Agĩgũcina na mwaki, na akĩũraga andũ a Kaanani arĩa maatũũraga kuo, na agĩcooka agĩkũhe mwarĩ, mũtumia wa Solomoni, arĩ kĩheo kĩa ũhiki.
17 So Solomon rebuilt Gezer, Lower Beth-horon,
Nake Solomoni agĩaka Gezeru rĩngĩ. Nĩaakire Bethi-Horoni ya mũhuro, na
18 Baalath, and Tamar in the Wilderness of Judah,
Baalathu, na Tadimori rĩa werũ-inĩ, thĩinĩ wa bũrũri wake,
19 as well as all the store cities that Solomon had for his chariots and horses —whatever he desired to build in Jerusalem, Lebanon, and throughout the land of his dominion.
o na ningĩ nĩaakire matũũra manene ma kũiga indo ciake na matũũra ma ngaari ciake cia ita na ma mbarathi ciake, na kĩrĩa gĩothe eerirĩirie gwaka Jerusalemu, na Lebanoni, na bũrũri wothe ũrĩa aathanaga.
20 As for all the people who remained of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites (the people who were not Israelites)—
Andũ othe arĩa maatigaire kuuma kũrĩ Aamori, na Ahiti, na Aperizi, na Ahivi, na Ajebusi (andũ acio matiarĩ andũ a Isiraeli),
21 their descendants who remained in the land, those whom the Israelites were unable to devote to destruction —Solomon conscripted these people to be forced laborers, as they are to this day.
ũguo nĩ kuuga njiaro ciao iria ciatigarĩte bũrũri-inĩ, iria andũ a Isiraeli mataaniinĩte, acio nĩo maandĩkithirio nĩ Solomoni matuĩke ngombo ciake cia kũrutithio wĩra na hinya, na noguo gũtũire nginya ũmũthĩ.
22 But Solomon did not consign any of the Israelites to slavery, because they were his men of war, his servants, his officers, his captains, and the commanders of his chariots and cavalry.
No Solomoni ndaatuire mũndũ o na ũmwe wa Isiraeli ngombo; nĩo maarĩ andũ ake a kũrũa mbaara, na atongoria a thirikari yake, na anene ake, na atongoria a thigari, na aathi a ngaari cia ita, na atwari a cio.
23 They were also the chief officers over Solomon’s projects: 550 supervisors over the people who did the work.
Ningĩ nĩ kwarĩ atongoria a anene 550 arĩa maarutithagia mawĩra mothe ma Solomoni na makarũgamĩrĩra aruti wĩra.
24 As soon as Pharaoh’s daughter had come up from the City of David to the palace that Solomon had built for her, he built the supporting terraces.
Rĩrĩa mwarĩ wa Firaũni aambatire kuuma itũũra inene rĩa Daudi agĩthiĩ gũikara nyũmba ya ũthamaki ĩrĩa Solomoni aamwakĩire, hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩguo Solomoni aathondekire mbenji cia kũmĩnyiitĩrĩra.
25 Three times a year Solomon offered burnt offerings and peace offerings on the altar he had built for the LORD, burning incense with them before the LORD. So he completed the temple.
Solomoni aarutaga magongona ma njino na ma ũiguano kĩgongona-inĩ kĩrĩa aakĩire Jehova maita matatũ o mwaka, agacinaga ũbumba mbere ya Jehova hamwe namo, na nĩ ũndũ ũcio akahingia watho wa hekarũ.
26 King Solomon also assembled a fleet of ships at Ezion-geber, which is near Eloth in Edom, on the shore of the Red Sea.
Ningĩ Mũthamaki Solomoni agĩaka marikabu nyingĩ kũu Ezioni-Geberi, gũkuhĩ na Elothu kũu Edomu, hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia Iria Itune.
27 And Hiram sent his servants, men who knew the sea, to serve in the fleet with Solomon’s servants.
Nake Hiramu agĩtũma andũ ake, atwarithia a marikabu arĩa maamenyete ũhoro wa iria, nĩguo matungatage marikabu-inĩ marĩ na andũ a Solomoni.
28 They sailed to Ophir and imported gold from there—420 talents —and delivered it to Solomon.
Magĩthiĩ nginya Ofiri, na makĩrehe taranda magana mana ma mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ cia thahabu, iria maatwarĩire Mũthamaki Solomoni.
