1 Kings 5
1 And Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants to Solomon: for he heard that they had anointed him king in the room of his father: for Hiram had always been David’s friend.
Rĩrĩa Hiramu mũthamaki wa Turo aiguire atĩ Solomoni nĩaitĩrĩirio maguta agatuĩka mũthamaki handũ ha ithe Daudi-rĩ, agĩtũma ndungata ciake kũrĩ Solomoni, tondũ we nĩmatũire marĩ ũrata na Daudi.
2 And Solomon sent to Hiram, saying:
Nake Solomoni agĩcookeria Hiramu ndũmĩrĩri ĩno:
3 Thou knowest the will of David my father, and that he could not build a house to the name of the Lord his God, because of the wars that were round about him, until the Lord put them under the soles of his feet.
“Wee nĩũkũmenya atĩ tondũ wa mbaara iria ciothe cianakora baba, Daudi, ciumĩte mĩena yothe, we ndaahotire gwaka hekarũ ĩĩtanĩtio na Rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova Ngai wake, o nginya rĩrĩa Jehova aigire thũ ciake rungu rwa makinya make.
4 But now the Lord my God hath given me rest round about: and there is no adversary nor evil occurrence.
No rĩu Jehova Ngai wakwa nĩaheete ũhurũko mĩena yothe, na gũtirĩ na thũ kana ũgwati.
5 Wherefore I purpose to build a temple to the name of the Lord my God, as the Lord spoke to David my father, saying: my son, whom I will set upon the throne in thy piece, he shall build a house to my name.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩnduĩte atĩ nĩngwaka hekarũ ĩĩtanĩtio na Rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova Ngai wakwa, o ta ũrĩa Jehova eerire baba Daudi rĩrĩa oigire atĩrĩ, ‘Mũriũ waku ũrĩa ngaikarĩria gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene handũ haku-rĩ, nĩwe ũgaaka hekarũ ĩĩtanĩtio na Rĩĩtwa rĩakwa.’
6 Give orders therefore that thy servants cut me down cedar trees out of Libanus, and let my servants be with thy servants: and I will give thee the hire of thy servants whatsoever thou wilt ask, for thou knowest how there is not among my people a man that has skill to hew wood like to the Sidonians.
“Nĩ ũndũ ũcio athana nĩguo ndemerwo mĩtarakwa ya Lebanoni. Andũ akwa nĩmarĩrutithanagia wĩra na andũ aku, na nĩndĩrĩkũrĩhaga mũcaara wa andũ aku o ta ũrĩa ũngiuga. Wee nĩũũĩ atĩ tũtirĩ na andũ marĩ na ũmenyo wa gwatũra mbaũ ta andũ a Sidoni.”
7 Now when Hiram had heard the words of Solomon, he rejoiced exceedingly, and said: Blessed be the Lord God this day, who hath given to David a very wise son over this numerous people.
Rĩrĩa Hiramu aiguire ndũmĩrĩri ya Solomoni, agĩkena mũno, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũmũthĩ Jehova arogoocwo, nĩgũkorwo nĩaheete Daudi mũriũ mũũgĩ wa gwatha rũrĩrĩ rũrũ rũnene.”
8 And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying: I have heard all thou hast desired of me: and I will do all thy desire concerning cedar trees, and fir trees.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Hiramu agĩtũmana kũrĩ Solomoni, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ: “Nĩnyiitĩte ndũmĩrĩri ĩrĩa wandũmĩire, na nĩngwĩka ũrĩa wothe ũkwenda harĩ kũrehithia mĩgogo ya mĩtarakwa na ya mĩthengera.
9 My servants shall bring them down from Libanus to the sea: and I will put them together in floats in the sea, and convey them to the place, which thou shalt signify to me; and will land them there, and thou shalt receive them: and thou shalt allow me necessaries, to furnish food for my household.
Andũ akwa nĩmekũmĩikũrũkia kuuma Lebanoni nginya iria-inĩ, na nĩngũmĩikũrũkia na iria yohanĩtio hamwe o nginya harĩa ũkuuga. Nĩngamĩohoranĩria hau, nawe ũmĩoe, ũthiĩ nayo. Nawe ũkĩĩhingĩrie wendi wakwa na ũndũ wa kũhe nyũmba yakwa ya ũthamaki irio.”
10 So Hiram gave Solomon cedar trees, and fir trees, according to all his desire.
Ũguo nĩguo Hiramu aathiire na mbere gũtwarĩra Solomoni mĩgogo ya mĩtarakwa na ya mĩthengera ĩrĩa endaga.
11 And Solomon allowed Hiram twenty thousand measures of wheat, for provision for his house, and twenty measures of the purest oil: thus gave Solomon to Hiram every year.
Nake Solomoni nĩaheaga Hiramu ngano ya kũrĩĩo gwake mũciĩ ya kori ngiri mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ, hamwe na mbathi ngiri mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ cia maguta ma mĩtamaiyũ mahihe wega. Solomoni agĩthiĩ na mbere gwĩka Hiramu ũguo mwaka o mwaka.
12 And the Lord gave wisdom to Solomon, as he promised him: and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and they two made a league together.
Jehova nĩaheire Solomoni ũũgĩ, o ta ũrĩa aamwĩrĩire. Na gũkĩgĩa na thayũ gatagatĩ ka Hiramu na Solomoni, nao eerĩ magĩthondeka kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa ũiguano.
13 And king Solomon chose workmen cut of all Israel, and the levy was of thirty thousand men.
Mũthamaki Solomoni akĩandĩkithia aruti wĩra 30,000 na hinya kuuma Isiraeli guothe.
14 And he sent them to Libanus, ten thousand every month by turns, so that two months they were at home: and Adoniram was over this levy.
Aamatũmaga marĩ ikundi cia andũ ngiri ikũmi o mweri, mathiĩ ituanĩra rĩa wĩra kũu Lebanoni; nĩ ũndũ ũcio magaikaraga mweri ũmwe Lebanoni, na mĩeri ĩĩrĩ kwao mũciĩ. Adoniramu nĩwe warĩ mũrũgamĩrĩri wa andũ acio marutithagio wĩra na hinya.
15 And Solomon had seventy thousand to carry burdens, and eighty thousand to hew stones in the mountain:
Solomoni nĩ aarĩ na andũ 70,000 a gũkuua mĩrigo, na aicũhia a mahiga 80,000 kũu irĩma-inĩ,
16 Besides the overseers who were over every work, in number three thousand, and three hundred that ruled over the people, and them that did the work.
o ũndũ ũmwe na anyabara 3,300 a kũrũgamĩrĩra wĩra ũcio, na magatongoria aruti acio a wĩra.
17 And the king commanded, that they should bring great stones, costly stones, for the foundation of the temple, and should square them:
Mũthamaki agĩathana, nao makĩenja mahiga manene na mega, na maicũhĩtio marĩ ma gwaka mũthingi wa hekarũ.
18 And the masons of Solomon, and the masons of Hiram hewed them: and the Giblians prepared timber and stones to build the house.
Mabundi ma Solomoni, na ma Hiramu, na andũ a Gebali, nĩmarengire na makĩhaarĩria mbaũ o na mahiga nĩ ũndũ wa gwaka hekarũ.
