Kings III 5
1 And Chiram king of Tyre sent his servants to anoint Solomon in the room of David his father, because Chiram always loved David.
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 Chiram, saying,
Nake Solomoni agĩcookeria Hiramu ndũmĩrĩri ĩno:
3 You knew my father David, that he could not build a house to the name of the Lord my God because of the wars that compassed him about, 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 And now the Lord my God has given me rest round about; there is no one plotting against [me], and there is no evil trespass [against me].
No rĩu Jehova Ngai wakwa nĩaheete ũhurũko mĩena yothe, na gũtirĩ na thũ kana ũgwati.
5 And, behold, I intend to build a house to the name of the Lord my God, as the Lord God spoke to my father David, saying, Your son whom I will set on your throne in your place, 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 And now command, and let [men] cut wood for me out of Libanus: and, behold, my servants [shall be] with your servants, and I will give you the wages of your service, according to all that you shall say, because you know that we have no one skilled in cutting timber like 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 And it came to pass, as soon as Chiram heard the words of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly, and said, Blessed [be] God today, who has given to David a 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 he sent to Solomon, saying, I have listened concerning all that you have sent to me for: I will do all your will: [as for] timber of cedar and fir,
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: I will form them [into] rafts, [and bring them] to the place which you shall send to me [about]; and I will land them there, and you shall take [them] up: and you shall do my will, in giving bread to 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 Chiram gave to Solomon cedars, and fir trees, and all his desire.
Ũguo nĩguo Hiramu aathiire na mbere gũtwarĩra Solomoni mĩgogo ya mĩtarakwa na ya mĩthengera ĩrĩa endaga.
11 And Solomon gave to Chiram twenty thousand measures of wheat as food for his house, and twenty thousand baths of beaten oil thus Solomon gave to Chiram yearly.
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 Chiram and Solomon, and they made a covenant between them.
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 the king raised a levy out of all Israel, and the levy was thirty thousand men.
Mũthamaki Solomoni akĩandĩkithia aruti wĩra 30,000 na hinya kuuma Isiraeli guothe.
14 And he sent them to Libanus, ten thousand taking turn every month: they were a month in Libanus and two months at home: and Adoniram [was] over the 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 bearers of burdens, and eighty thousand hewers of stone 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 rulers that were appointed over the works of Solomon, [there were] three thousand six hundred masters who wrought in the works.
o ũndũ ũmwe na anyabara 3,300 a kũrũgamĩrĩra wĩra ũcio, na magatongoria aruti acio a wĩra.
17 [And the king commanded and they ] [brought great stones, precious stones for the foundation of the house, and unhewn stones. ]
Mũthamaki agĩathana, nao makĩenja mahiga manene na mega, na maicũhĩtio marĩ ma gwaka mũthingi wa hekarũ.
18 And they prepared the stones and the timber [during] three years.
Mabundi ma Solomoni, na ma Hiramu, na andũ a Gebali, nĩmarengire na makĩhaarĩria mbaũ o na mahiga nĩ ũndũ wa gwaka hekarũ.
