1 Kings 5
1 When Hiram king of Tyre heard that Solomon had been anointed king to succeed his father, he sent ambassadors to Solomon because Hiram had always been David's friend.
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 So Solomon sent this message back to Hiram,
Solomoonis akkana jedhee Hiiraamiif ergaa kana deebisee erge:
3 “As you know, my father David was not able to build a Temple to honor the Lord his God because of the wars fought against him from every direction, until the Lord had conquered his enemies.
“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 peace all around—no enemies, no bad things happening.
Amma garuu Waaqayyo Waaqni koo karaa hundaan boqonnaa naa kenneera; diinni yookaan balaan tokko iyyuu hin jiru.
5 So I plan to build a Temple to honor the Lord my God, as the Lord told my father David. He said to him, ‘Your son whom I will place on your throne to succeed you will build the Temple to honor me.’
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 So please order some cedars of Lebanon to be cut down for me. My workers will assist your workers, and I will pay your workers at the rate that you decide, for you know that we don't have anyone who knows how to cut timber like 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 heard Solomon's message, he was very happy and said, “Praise the Lord today, for he has given David a wise son to lead this great nation!”
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 Hiram sent this reply to Solomon: “Thank you for your message. As for the cedar and cypress timber, I will do everything you want.
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 workers will bring the logs down from Lebanon to the sea, and I will have them floated in rafts by sea to wherever you decide. I will have the rafts broken apart there, and you can take the logs away. In return I would like you to provide food for my household.”
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 as much cedar and cypress timber that he wanted,
Hiiroomis akkasiin birbirsaa fi jirma birbirsaa kan Solomooniif barbaachisu dhiʼeessaafii ture.
11 Solomon gave Hiram 20,000 cors of wheat for food and 20,000 cors of olive oil for his household. Solomon provided this to Hiram every year.
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 The Lord gave Solomon wisdom just as he had promised him. Hiram and Solomon had a good relationship and they made a peace treaty with each other.
Waaqayyos akkuma isa abdachiisetti Solomooniif ogummaa ni kenne. Hiiraamii fi Solomoon gidduu walitti dhufeenya nagaatu ture; isaan lamaanuu walii galtee godhatan.
13 King Solomon drafted a labor force of 30,000 from all of Israel.
Solomoon mootichis Israaʼel hunda keessaa namoota dirqiidhaan hojii humnaa hojjetan kuma soddoma walitti qabe.
14 He sent them in shifts of 10,000 each month to Lebanon, so that they were one month in Lebanon and two months at home, Adoniram was in charge of the labor force.
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 hill country,
Solomoon namoota baʼaa baatan kuma torbaatamaa fi warra dhagaa cabsan kuma saddeettama gaarran keessaa qaba ture;
16 as well as 3,300 foremen he placed in charge of the workers.
akkasumas namoota hojii hojjechiisanii hojjettoota illee toʼatan kuma sadii fi dhibba sadii qaba ture.
17 Following the king's orders, they quarried large blocks of stone that were expensive to produce, and laid these dressed stones as the foundation for the Temple.
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, together with the Gebalites, cut the stone. They prepared the timber and stone to build the Temple.
Ogeeyyiin hojii harkaa Solomoonii fi Hiiroom akkasumas namoonni Gebaal mana qulqullummaa ijaaruuf mukaa fi dhagaa cabsanii qopheessan.
