1 Kings 9
1 It happened, when Solomon had finished the building of the house of Jehovah, and the king's house, and all Solomon's desire which he was pleased to do,
Esi fia Solomo wu gbedoxɔ la kple fiasã la kple xɔ bubu siwo wòɖo be yeatu nu la,
2 that Jehovah appeared to Solomon the second time, as he had appeared to him at Gibeon.
Yehowa gaɖe eɖokui fiae zi evelia abe ale si wòɖe eɖokui fiae zi gbãtɔ le Gibeon ene.
3 And Jehovah said to him, "I have heard your prayer and your petition that you have made before me. I have done for you according to all your prayer. I have consecrated this house which you have built, to place my name there forever, and my eyes and my heart will be there perpetually.
Yehowa gblɔ nɛ be, “Mese wò gbedodoɖa kple wò kokoƒoƒowo; mekɔ gbedoxɔ si nètu la ŋu to nye ŋkɔ dada ɖe edzi me tegbetegbe. Nye ŋkuwo kple nye dzi anɔ afi ma ɣe sia ɣi.
4 As for you, if you will walk before me, as David your father walked, in integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded you, and will keep my statutes and my ordinances;
“Ne àzɔ le ŋkunye me, aɖi anukware kple dzimekɔkɔ kpakple dzɔdzɔenyenye abe fofowò David ene, eye nàwɔ nye seawo dzi, alé nye ɖoɖowo kple kɔnuwo me ɖe asi la,
5 then I will establish the throne of your kingdom over Israel forever, according as I promised to David your father, saying, 'There shall not fail you a man on the throne of Israel.'
ekema mana wò fiaɖuƒe nali ke tegbee abe ale si medo ŋugbe na fofowò, David ene esi megblɔ nɛ be, ‘Viwòwo dometɔ ɖeka anɔ Israel ƒe fiazikpui dzi ɣe sia ɣi!’
6 But if you turn away from following me, you or your children, and not keep my commandments and my statutes which I have set before you, but shall go and serve other gods, and worship them;
“Ke ne wò alo viwòwo miede megbe le ŋunye, eye miewɔ nye seawo kple ɖoɖo siwo mede asi na mi dzi o, eye mieyi ɖasubɔ mawu bubuwo hede ta agu na wo la,
7 then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them; and this house, which I have made holy for my name, will I cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all peoples.
ekema makplɔ Israel dukɔ la adzoe le anyigba si metsɔ na wo la dzi. Maɖe wo le gbedoxɔ sia si ŋu mekɔ na nye ŋkɔ la me eye manya wo le nye ŋkuta. Israel azu hamelo kple alɔmeɖenu le dukɔwo katã dome.
8 And this house, which is exalted, will become a heap of ruins. Everyone who passes by it will be astonished, and will whistle, and they will say, 'Why has Jehovah done this to this land, and to this house?'
Gbedoxɔ sia azu xɔ gbagbã si ƒe xɔtunuwo woali kɔe ɖi eye ame sia ame si ava tso eme yina la ƒe nu aku eye wòaɖu fewu agblɔ be, ‘Nu ka ta Yehowa wɔ nu siawo ɖe anyigba sia kple gbedoxɔ sia ŋu?’
9 And they shall answer, 'Because they forsook Jehovah their God, who brought their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold of other gods, and worshiped them, and served them. Therefore Jehovah has brought all this disaster on them.'"
Eye ŋuɖoɖo la anye, ‘Elabena woɖe asi le Yehowa, woƒe Mawu, si kplɔ wo fofowo tso Egiptenyigba dzi la ŋu eye wosubɔ mawu bubuwo ɖe eteƒe. Nu sia tae Yehowa he dzɔgbevɔ̃e sia va wo dzi ɖo.’”
10 It happened at the end of twenty years, in which Solomon had built the two houses, the house of Jehovah and the king's house
Le ƒe blaeve megbe esi Solomo tu xɔ eve siawo: gbedoxɔ la kple eƒe fiasã la vɔ la,
11 (now Hiram the king of Tyre had furnished Solomon with cedar trees and fir trees, and with gold, according to all his desire), that then king Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.
Fia Solomo tsɔ du blaeve le Galilea na Hiram, Tiro fia elabena Hiram tsɔ sedatiwo kple sesewutiwo kple sika siwo katã wohiã la nɛ.
12 Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him; and they did not please him.
Ke esi Hiram tso Tiro yi ɖakpɔ du siwo Solomo tsɔ nɛ la, duawo medze eŋu o.
13 He said, "What cities are these which you have given me, my brother?" He called them the land of Cabul to this day.
Ebia Fia Solomo be, “Nɔvinye, du ka ƒomeviwoe nye esiawo nènam? Etsɔ ŋkɔ na duawo be ‘Kabul’ si gɔmee nye, ‘Menyo na naneke o.’”
14 Hiram sent to the king one hundred twenty talents of gold.
Fia Hiram ɖo sika si ƒe kpekpeme nye kilogram akpe ene alafa etɔ̃ la ɖe fia la.
15 This is the reason of the levy which king Solomon raised, to build the house of Jehovah, and his own house, and Millo, and the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, and Megiddo, and Gezer.
Fia Solomo zi amewo dzi wotu gbedoxɔ, fiasã, Milo mɔ, Yerusalem ƒe gliwo kple Hazor, Megido kple Gezer duwo katã.
16 Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up, and taken Gezer, and burnt it with fire, and slain the Canaanites who lived in the city, and given it for a portion to his daughter, Solomon's wife.
Gezer nye du si Egipte fia xɔ, tɔ dzoe eye wòwu Israelvi siwo katã nɔ eme. Emegbe la, etsɔ du sia na via nyɔnu si nye Fia Solomo srɔ̃wo dometɔ ɖeka la, abe srɔ̃ɖenunana ene.
17 Solomon built Gezer, and Lower Beth Horon,
Solomo gbugbɔ Gezer kple Bet Horon anyigbetɔ,
18 and Baalath, and Tamar in the wilderness, in the land,
Baalat kple Tadmɔ siwo nye gbegbe le eƒe anyigba dzi la tu.
19 and all the storage cities that Solomon had, and the cities for his chariots, and the cities for his horsemen, and that which Solomon desired to build for his pleasure in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.
Egatu du bubuwo, ɖewo nye nuɖuɖudzraɖoƒewo eye bubuwo nye tasiaɖamwo ƒe du, sɔdolawo ƒe du, hekpe ɖe xɔ siwo katã dzroe la ɖe Yerusalem kple Lebanon kple teƒe bubu vovovowo le anyigba si dzi wònye fia ɖo la.
20 As for all the people who were left of the Amorites, the Hethites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of the children of Israel;
Ame siwo katã susɔ tso Amoritɔwo, Hititɔwo, Perizitɔwo, Hivitɔwo kple Yebusitɔwo dome (ame siwo menye Israelviwo o).
21 their descendants who were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel were not able utterly to destroy, of them Solomon conscripted for slave labor to this day.
Woawoe nye ame siwo nɔ anyigba la dzi tsã ƒe dzidzimeviwo, ame siwo Israelviwo metsrɔ̃ o la. Fia Solomo na wowɔ dɔ abe kluviwo ene abe ale si wòle va se ɖe egbe ene.
22 But of the children of Israel Solomon made no bondservants; but they were the men of war, and his servants, and his commanders, and his captains, and rulers of his chariots and of his horsemen.
Solomo metsɔ Israelviwo wɔ kluviwo o, ke boŋ wozu asrafowo, dɔnunɔlawo, asrafomegãwo, aʋafiawo, tasiaɖamkulawo dzikpɔlawo kple sɔdolawo hã.
23 These were the chief officers who were over Solomon's work, five hundred fifty, who bore rule over the people who labored in the work.
Israelvi alafa atɔ̃ blaatɔ̃ nye ame siwo nye dzizizidɔwɔlawo dzi kpɔlawo.
24 But Pharaoh's daughter came up out of the City of David to her house which Solomon had built for her: then he built Millo.
Fia Solomo ɖe Farao ƒe vinyɔnu tso David ƒe du ƒe afi si nye Yerusalem ƒe akpa xoxotɔ la me yi xɔ yeye si wòtu nɛ le fiasã me la me. Emegbe la, etu Milo mɔ la hã.
25 Solomon offered burnt offerings and peace offerings on the altar which he built to Jehovah three times a year, burning incense with them, on the altar that was before Jehovah. So he finished the house.
Esi wowu gbedoxɔ la tutu nu la, Solomo sa numevɔ kple akpedavɔ zi etɔ̃ ƒe sia ƒe le vɔsamlekpui si wòtu na Yehowa la dzi eye wòdo dzudzɔ ʋeʋĩ hã le edzi le Yehowa ŋkume.
26 King Solomon also had a fleet of ships at Ezion Geber, which is near Eilat on the shore of the Red Sea, in the land of Edom.
Fia Solomo na wokpa tɔdziʋuwo hã ɖe Ezion Geber si le Elat gbɔ le Ƒu Dzĩ la ta le Edomnyigba dzi.
27 Hiram sent in the navy his servants, sailors who had knowledge of the sea, with the servants of Solomon.
Hiram ɖo eƒe ame siwo nye ƒudzidɔwɔlawo eye wonya nu tso atsiaƒu ŋu nyuie la ɖa be woawɔ dɔ kple Solomo ƒe amewo le tɔdziʋuawo me.
28 They came to Ophir, and fetched from there gold, four hundred and twenty talents, and brought it to king Solomon.
Wode Ofir eye wotsɔ sika kilogram akpe wuiatɔ̃ alafa ɖeka blaeve vɛ na Fia Solomo.
