< 1 Kings 9 >

1 And it came to pass, when Solomon had finished building the house of the Lord, and the king's house, and all Solomon's desire which he was pleased to execute:
Awo Sulemaani bwe yamala okuzimba yeekaalu ya Mukama n’olubiri lwe, n’okuzimba ebyo byonna bye yasiima,
2 That the Lord appeared to Solomon the second time, as he had appeared unto him at Gib'on.
Mukama n’amulabikira omulundi ogwokubiri, nga bwe yamulabikira e Gibyoni.
3 And the Lord said unto him, I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication, that thou hast offered before me; I have hallowed this house, which thou hast built, to put my name there for ever; and my eyes and my heart shall be there at all times.
Mukama n’amugamba nti, “Mpulidde okusaba n’okwegayirira kw’owaddeyo gye ndi; ntukuzizza yeekaalu eno gy’ozimbye, n’erinnya lyange, emirembe gyonna. Amaaso gange n’omutima gwange binaabeeranga omwo.
4 And as for thee, if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, in integrity of heart, and in rectitude, to do in accordance with all that I have commanded thee, [and] wilt keep my statutes and my ordinances:
“Naawe bw’onootambuliranga mu maaso gange n’omutima ogw’amazima n’obugolokofu, nga Dawudi kitaawo bwe yakola, era n’okolanga bye nkulagira byonna, n’okwatanga amateeka gange,
5 Then will I establish the throne of thy kingdom over Israel for ever; as I have spoken concerning David thy father, saying, There shall never fail thee a man upon the throne of Israel.
nnaanyweza entebe yo ey’obwakabaka mu Isirayiri emirembe gyonna, nga bwe nasuubiza Dawudi kitaawo bwe n’ayogera nti, ‘Tolirema kuba na musajja ow’omu lulyo lwo anaatuulanga ku ntebe ey’obwakabaka bwa Isirayiri.’
6 But if ye will at all turn away, ye or your children, from following me, and will not keep my commandments [and] my statutes which I have set before you, and go and serve other gods, and bow down to them:
“Naye ggwe oba batabani bo bwe munanjeemeranga ne mutakwatanga biragiro byange n’amateeka ge mbawadde, ne mutanula okuweereza bakatonda abalala,
7 Then will I cut off Israel from the face of the land which I have given them; and the house, which I have hallowed unto my name, will I cast away from my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a by-word among all the nations;
kale ndiggya ku Isirayiri ensi gye mbawadde era ne yeekaalu gye ntukuzizza n’erinnya lyange ndigireka. Olwo Isirayiri erifuuka eky’okunyoomoolwa n’ekyokusekererwa mu mawanga gonna.
8 And at this house, [which] should be so exalted, every one that passeth by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss; and men will say, Why hath the Lord done thus unto this land, and unto this house?
Newaakubadde nga yeekaalu eno eyatiikirira kaakano, buli anaayitangawo aneewunyanga n’aŋŋoola ng’agamba nti, ‘Kiki ekireetedde Mukama okukola ekintu bwe kiti ku nsi eno ne ku yeekaalu eno?’
9 And they shall say, For the cause that they forsook the Lord their God, who had brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and took hold of other gods, and bowed down to them, and served them: therefore hath the Lord brought upon them all this evil.
Abantu baliddamu nti, ‘Kubanga baava ku Mukama Katonda waabwe, eyaggya bajjajjaabwe mu Misiri, ne basembeza bakatonda abalala, n’okubasinza ne babasinza era n’okubaweereza ne babaweereza. Mukama kyavudde ababonereza mu ngeri eyo.’”
10 And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, when Solomon had built the two houses, the house of the Lord, and the king's house,
Ku nkomerero y’emyaka amakumi abiri, mu kiseera Sulemaani mwe yazimbira ebizimbe byombi, eyeekaalu ya Mukama, n’olubiri lwe olw’obwakabaka,
11 (Now Hiram the king of Tyre had supplied Solomon with cedar-trees and fir-trees, and with gold, according to all his desire, ) that king Solomon then gave to Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.
Kabaka Sulemaani yagabira Kiramu kabaka w’e Ttuulo ebibuga amakumi abiri, olw’emivule, n’emiberosi ne zaabu bye yaweereza Sulemaani.
12 And Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him; but they were not right in his eyes.
Naye Kiramu bwe yava e Ttuulo n’agenda okulambula ebibuga Sulemaani bye yamugabira, ne bitamusanyusa.
13 And he said, What kind of cities are these which thou hast given me, my brother? And he called them, The land of Cabul, until this day.
N’amubuuza nti, “Bino bibuga bya ngeri ki by’ompadde muganda wange?” N’abituuma erinnya Kabuli, era bwe biyitibwa n’okutuusa olunaku lwa leero.
14 And Hiram sent to the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold.
Kiramu yali aweerezza kabaka ttani nnya eza zaabu.
15 And this is the manner of the levy which king Solomon raised, to build the house of the Lord, and his own house, and the Millo, and the wall of Jerusalem, and Chazor, and Megiddo, and Gezer.
Kabaka Sulemaani mu buyinza bwe n’amaanyi ge, yakuŋŋaanya abasajja ab’amaanyi bangi okuzimba yeekaalu ya Mukama, n’olubiri lwe, n’obusenge obuwagika bbugwe wa Yerusaalemi, n’ebibuga ebya Kazoli, ne Megiddo ne Gezeri.
16 (Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up, and captured Gezer, and burnt it with fire, and slain the Canaanites that dwelt in the city, and given it as a marriage-present unto his daughter, Solomon's wife.
Falaawo, ye kabaka w’e Misiri yali atabadde, n’okuwamba n’awamba Gezeri, n’akireka ng’akikumyeko omuliro, ng’asse Abakanani abaakibeerangamu. Ekifo ekyo n’akigabira muwala we, muka Sulemaani ng’ekirabo ku mbaga yaabwe.
17 And Solomon built Gezer, and lower Beth-choron,
Awo Sulemaani n’akizimba buggya; n’azimba ne Besukolooni ekya wansi,
18 And Ba'alath, and Thadmor in the wilderness, in the land,
Baalasi ne Tamali mu ddungu,
19 And all the treasure-cities that Solomon had, and the cities for the chariots, and the cities for the horsemen, and the [other] desire of Solomon which he desired to build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.)
n’ebibuga eby’amawanika, n’omwakuumirwanga amagaali, n’abeebagala embalaasi ze, ne byonna bye yayagala okuzimba mu Yerusaalemi, ne mu Lebanooni ne mu bitundu byonna bye yafuganga.
20 All the people that were left of the Emorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of the children of Israel,
Abantu bonna abaasigalawo ku Bamoli, n’Abakiiti, n’Abaperezi, n’Abakiivi n’Abayebusi, abataali Bayisirayiri,
21 Their children that were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel had not been able utterly to destroy, these did Solomon levy as tributary laborers until this day.
Abayisirayiri be bataayinza kuzikiririza ddala, Sulemaani n’abafuula baddu, n’okutuusa leero.
22 Yet of the children of Israel did Solomon make no one a bond-man; but they were the men of war, and his servants, and his princes, and his captains, and the officers of his chariots, and of his horsemen.
Naye teyafuula Muyisirayiri n’omu muddu, wabula bo baali nga balwanyi be, na bakungu be, na baami be, na baduumizi b’amagaali na beebagazi ba mbalaasi ze.
23 These [also] were the chiefs of the superintendents that were over Solomon's work, five hundred and fifty, who ruled over the people that wrought on the work.
Era be baali nga abakungu abaavunaanyizibwanga emirimu gye gyonna, era abo bonna abaavunaanyizibwanga emirimu egyo, awamu nga bawera abakungu ebikumi bitaano mu ataano.
24 But Pharaoh's daughter came up out of the city of David unto her house which he had built for her: then did he build the Millo.
Awo muwala wa Falaawo bwe yava mu kibuga kya Dawudi n’agenda mu lubiri Sulemaani lwe yamuzimbira, Sulemaani n’azimba obusenge obuwagika bbugwe.
25 And Solomon did offer three times in every year burnt-offerings and peace-offerings upon the altar which he had built unto the Lord, and he burnt incense upon the one that was before the Lord. So he finished the house.
Sulemaani yawangayo ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa n’ebiweebwayo eby’emirembe ku kyoto kye yazimbira Mukama, emirundi esatu mu mwaka, ng’ayotereza obubaane mu maaso ga Mukama, ng’atuukiriza obulombolombo bwa yeekaalu.
26 And king Solomon made a ship in 'Ezyon-geber, which is near Eloth, on the shore of the Red Sea, in the land of Edom.
Kabaka Sulemaani yazimba n’ebyombo mu Eziyonigeba okuliraana Erosi mu Edomu, ku lubalama lw’ennyanja Emyufu.
27 And Hiram sent in the ship his servants, seamen, that had knowledge of the sea, with the servants of Solomon.
Kiramu n’aweereza abasajja be abalunnyanja okukoleranga awamu n’aba Sulemaani.
28 And they came to Ophir, and fetched from there gold, four hundred and twenty talents, and brought it to king Solomon.
Ne baseeyeeya okutuuka mu Ofiri, ne baleeta ttani kkumi na nnya eza zaabu eri Sulemaani.
