< 1 Kings 5 >

1 And Hiram the king of Tyre sent his servants unto Solomon; for he had heard that they had anointed him king in the room of his father; for Hiram had all the time been a lover of 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 Hiram, saying,
Na Solomon el supwala kas inge nu sel Hiram:
3 Thou well knowest of David my father, that he was not able to build a house unto the name of the Lord his God, on account of the war wherewith his enemies encompassed him, until the Lord had 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 But now hath the Lord my God given me rest on every side, there is neither adversary nor evil hinderance.
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 purpose to build a house unto the name of the Lord my God, as the Lord hath spoken unto David my father, saying, Thy son, whom I will place in thy room upon thy throne, he it is that shall build the house unto 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 thou that they hew me cedar-trees out of Lebanon; and my servants shall be with thy servants; and the wages of thy servants will I give unto thee in accordance with all that thou wilt say; for thou well knowest that there is not among us a man that hath the skill to hew timber like unto the Zidonians.
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, when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly; and he said, Blessed be the Lord this day, who hath given unto 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 Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, I have heard what thou hast sent to me for: I will gladly execute all thy desire in respect of timber of cedar, and in respect of timber of 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 the Lebanon unto the sea: and I will convey them by sea in floats unto the place of which thou wilt send me word, and I will cause them to be taken apart there, and thou shalt take them away; and thou shalt accomplish my desire, in giving the food for 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 Hiram gave Solomon cedar-trees and fir-trees, all his desire.
Ouinge Hiram el supwala nu sel Solomon sak cedar ac sak pine nukewa ma el enenu.
11 And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand kors of wheat as provision for his household, and twenty kors of beaten oil: thus did Solomon give to Hiram year by year.
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 unto Solomon, as he had spoken to him; and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon; and they made a covenant with each other.
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 king Solomon 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 into the Lebanon, ten thousand in each month by turns; one month they used to be in the Lebanon, 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 there belonged to Solomon seventy thousand bearers of burdens, and eighty thousand stone-cutters in the mountains;
Oasr pac mwet oalngoul tausin lal Solomon muta uten eol uh orekma ke tufahl eot, ac mwet itngoul tausin mwe utuk.
16 Besides the chiefs who were appointed by Solomon over the work, three thousand and three hundred, who ruled over the people that wrought on the work.
Solomon el srela mwet tolu tausin tolfoko in liyalosyang ac fahk ma elos in oru.
17 And when the king commanded, they quarried out great stones, heavy stones, to lay the foundation of the house, and hewn stones.
Ke sap lal Tokosra Solomon, elos taflela eot lulap na wowo nu ke pwelung in Tempul uh.
18 And the builders of Solomon, and the builders of Hiram, and the Giblites hewed them; and so they prepared the wood and the stones to build the house.
Mwet orekma lal Solomon ac Hiram, ac mwet su tuku liki siti Gebal, elos akoela pac eot ac ipinsak in musai Tempul.
