< 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.
Tokosra Hiram lun acn Tyre el nuna mwet kawuk lal David, ac ke el lohng lah Solomon el aolul David, papa tumal, in tokosra, na el supwala mwet kacto aolyal nu yorol.
2 And Solomon sent to Chiram, saying,
Na Solomon el supwala kas inge nu sel Hiram:
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.
“Kom etu lah ke sripen mweun puspis ma David, papa tumuk, el tuh oru lain mwet lokoalok in facl ma raunella, pwanang el tuh tia ku in musai sie lohm alu nu sin LEUM GOD lal, nwe ke na LEUM GOD El sang elan kutangla mwet lokoalok lal nukewa.
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].
Tuh pa inge LEUM GOD luk El ase misla nu sik yurin mutunfacl su rauniyula. Wangin mwet lokoalok luk, pwanang wangin mwe fosrnga nu sik.
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.
LEUM GOD El tuh wuleang nu sel David, papa tumuk, ac fahk, ‘Wen nutum, su nga ac fah srisrngiya in tokosra aol kom, pa ac fah musai sie tempul nu sik.’ Ac inge nga sulela nga in musaela tempul se inge tuh in iwen alu nu sin LEUM GOD luk.
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.
Ke ma inge, kom supwala mwet lom an nu Lebanon in pakiya kutu sak cedar ah luk. Mwet luk ac welulos orekma, ac nga ac moli mwet lom ingan ke lupa na kom fahk an. Kom etu lah mwet luk inge tia etu pakpuk sak oana mwet lom ingan.”
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.
Hiram el arulana insewowo ke el lohng kas lal Solomon, ac el fahk, “Kaksakin LEUM GOD misenge ke El sang nu sel David wen na lalmwetmet se natul, in aolul tokosra fin mutunfacl lulap se ingan!”
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,
Na Hiram el supwala kas inge nu sel Solomon: “Nga eis tari kas lom, ac nga akola in oru ma kom siyuk an. Nga ac srukak sak cedar ac sak pine.
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.
Mwet luk uh ac usya sak inge Lebanon lac nu wekof ah, ac kapreni nu sie in ku in pakinyuk nu ke acn kom sulela an. Fin sun acn ingan, na mwet luk uh ac tulalik ac mwet lom an fah fosrngakin. Ac nu sum, nga lungse kom in kite mwet luk inge mongo.”
10 So Chiram gave to Solomon cedars, and fir trees, and all his desire.
Ouinge Hiram el supwala nu sel Solomon sak cedar ac sak pine nukewa ma el enenu.
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.
Ac Solomon el sang nu sel Hiram million akosr paun in wheat, ac siofok singoul limekosr tausin gallon in oil in olive nasnas ke yac nukewa, in sang kite mwet lal.
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.
LEUM GOD El sang lalmwetmet nu sel Solomon, oana ke El wuleang nu sel. Oasr misla inmasrlol Hiram ac Solomon, ac eltal orala sie wulela na ku inmasrloltal.
13 And the king raised a levy out of all Israel, and the levy was thirty thousand men.
Tokosra Solomon el orani mukul tolngoul tausin liki acn Israel nufon elan kumakin ke sap ku lal,
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.
ac eisalang Adoniram elan mwet kol lalos. El kitalik mwet inge nu ke u tolu, mwet singoul tausin ke kais sie u, ac kais sie u inge ac muta in acn Lebanon ke malem se, ac malem luo in acn selos.
15 And Solomon had seventy thousand bearers of burdens, and eighty thousand hewers of stone in the mountain;
Oasr pac mwet oalngoul tausin lal Solomon muta uten eol uh orekma ke tufahl eot, ac mwet itngoul tausin mwe utuk.
16 besides the rulers that were appointed over the works of Solomon, [there were] three thousand six hundred masters who wrought in the works.
Solomon el srela mwet tolu tausin tolfoko in liyalosyang ac fahk ma elos in oru.
17 [And the king commanded and they ] [brought great stones, precious stones for the foundation of the house, and unhewn stones. ]
Ke sap lal Tokosra Solomon, elos taflela eot lulap na wowo nu ke pwelung in Tempul uh.
18 And they prepared the stones and the timber [during] three years.
Mwet orekma lal Solomon ac Hiram, ac mwet su tuku liki siti Gebal, elos akoela pac eot ac ipinsak in musai Tempul.
