< 1 Kings 5 >

1 And Hiram King of Tyre sent his servants unto Solomon, for he had heard that, him, had they anointed king, in the room of his father, —for, Hiram, was, a lover, of, David continually.
Mgbe Hiram eze Taịa nụrụ na eteela Solomọn mmanụ ịbụ eze nʼọnọdụ nna ya Devid, o zipụrụ ndị ozi ya ijekwuru Solomọn, nʼihi na ya na Devid bụ enyi, dịrịkwa na mma.
2 So Solomon sent unto Hiram, saying: —
Mgbe ahụ, Solomọn zigara Hiram ozi, sị ya:
3 Thou, knewest David my father, how that he could not build a house unto the Name of Yahweh his God, because of the wars that were about him on every side, —until Yahweh should put them under the soles of his feet;
“Ị maara na Devid nna m enweghị ike iwu ụlọnsọ ukwuu nye Aha Onyenwe anyị Chineke ya, nʼihi agha niile ọ lụrụ mgbe ọ dị ndụ. Ọ nọkwa na-eche ka Onyenwe anyị nye ya udo.
4 but, now, Yahweh my God hath given me rest on every side, —there is neither adversary nor incident of evil.
Ugbu a, Onyenwe anyị Chineke m enyela m udo nʼakụkụ ọbụla. Enwekwaghị m ndị iro, ma ọ bụkwanụ ihe ndakwasị ọjọọ ọbụla.
5 Behold me! then, purposing to build a house for the Name of Yahweh my God—even as Yahweh spake unto David my father, saying—Thy son, whom I will set in thy stead, upon thy throne, he, shall build the house for my Name.
Nʼihi ya, ana m achọ iwu ụlọnsọ ukwu nye Aha Onyenwe anyị Chineke m, dịka Onyenwe anyị gwara nna m Devid mgbe ọ sịrị ya, ‘Nwa gị nwoke, onye m ga-eme ka ọ nọdụ nʼocheeze gị, ga-ewu ụlọnsọ ukwu nye Aha m.’
6 Now, therefore, command thou that they fell me cedars, out of Lebanon, and, my servants, shall be, with thy servants, and, the hire of thy servants, will I give thee, according to all that thou shalt say, —for, thou, knowest, that, none amongst us, hath skill to fell timber, like the Zidonians.
“Ya mere, nye iwu ka e gbutuoro m osisi sida nke Lebanọn. Ndị ọrụ m ga-esoro ndị nke gị nʼọrụ a. Aga m akwụ gị ihe ọbụla i kpebiri bụ ụgwọ ọrụ ha. Ị maara na anyị enweghị ndị ọka igbutu osisi dịka ndị Saịdọn.”
7 And it came to pass, when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly, —and said: Blessed, be Yahweh, to-day, who hath given unto David a wise son, over this great people!
Mgbe Hiram nụrụ ozi Solomọn ziri, obi tọrọ ya ụtọ nke ukwuu. O kwuru sị, “Otuto dịrị Onyenwe anyị taa, nʼihi na o nyela Devid nwa nwoke nwere amamihe ịchị mba ukwuu a.”
8 And Hiram sent unto Solomon, saying, I have heard that which thou hast sent unto me, —I, will do all thy desire, as to timber of cedar, and timber of fir.
Ya mere, Hiram zigaara Solomọn ozi sị, “Anụla m ozi i ziteere m. Aga m emekwa ihe niile dịka i kwuru banyere i budatara gị osisi sida na osisi junipa.
9 My servants, shall bring them down out of Lebanon unto the sea, and, I, will put them in rafts on the sea, unto the place of which thou shalt send me word, and will cause them to be discharged there, and, thou, shalt receive them, and, thou, shalt do my desire, by giving food for my household.
Ndị ohu m ga-esi nʼugwu Lebanọn budaruo ha nʼosimiri Mediterenịa. A ga-ekekọta ha ọnụ, zitere gị ha nʼebe ị chọrọ ịnọ buru ha. Mgbe ha sere nʼelu mmiri rute ebe ị chọrọ, anyị ga-atọsakwara gị ha, ka i buru ha. Ma gị onwe gị ga-eme ihe bụ ọchịchọ m, site na-inye ndị ụlọ m ihe oriri.”
10 So then Hiram began giving unto Solomon timber of cedar, and timber of fir, even all his desire,
Nʼụzọ dị otu a, Hiram nọgidere na-ezitere Solomọn osisi sida na junipa niile ọ chọrọ.
11 and, Solomon, gave unto Hiram, twenty thousand measures of wheat, as food for his household, and twenty measures of beaten oil, —thus, used Solomon on to give unto Hiram, year by year.
Solomọn nyere Hiram na ezinaụlọ ya narị puku bushel, na iri puku bushel ọka wiiti abụọ, ka ọ bụrụ ihe oriri nye ezinaụlọ ya, tinyekwara narị puku galọọnụ, na iri puku galọọnụ abụọ nke mmanụ oliv asụrụ asụ. Solomọn nọgidere na-enye Hiram ihe ndị a kwa afọ.
12 And, Yahweh, gave wisdom unto Solomon, as he promised him, —and it came to pass that there was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and, they two, solemnised a covenant.
Onyenwe anyị nyere Solomọn amamihe dị ukwuu dịka o kwere ya na nkwa. Hiram na Solomọn nwere mmekọ udo, ha abụọ gbakwara ndụ.
13 And King Solomon raised a labour-band, out of all Israel, —and it came to pass that, the labour-band, was thirty thousand men.
Eze Solomọn, sitere nʼakụkụ Izrel niile kpọbata ndị ọrụ mmanye ọnụọgụgụ ha dị iri puku atọ.
14 And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month, by courses, a month, were they in Lebanon, two months, at home, —and, Adoniram, was over the levy.
Nʼotu ọnwa, ọ na-eziga puku mmadụ iri nʼime ndị a ka ha gaa Lebanọn ịrụ ọrụ. Nʼọnwa ọzọ, ọ na-ezigakwa puku mmadụ iri ka ha gaa gbanwee ndị buuru ụzọ gaa. Nʼụzọ dị otu a, otu ụzọ nʼime iri puku mmadụ atọ ndị a na-anọ na Lebanọn otu ọnwa maka ịrụ ọrụ, ma ha na-alọta zuo ike ọnwa abụọ. Adoniram bụ onyeisi ndị ọrụ mmanye a.
15 And it came to pass that, Solomon, had seventy thousand bearers of burdens, —and eighty thousand hewers in the mountain;
Solomọn nwere ndị ọrụ ọzọ ọnụọgụgụ ha dị iri puku asaa na-ebu ibu, nweekwa ndị na-awa nkume nʼugwu ọnụọgụgụ ha dị iri puku asatọ.
16 besides the chiefs of Solomon’s officers, who were over the work, three thousand and three hundred, —who ruled over the people that wrought in the work.
Nʼagụnyeghị ndị a, o nwekwara ndịisi, ndị na-elekọta ndị ọrụ ndị a, ọnụọgụgụ ha dị puku atọ na narị atọ.
17 And the king commanded, and they quarried great stones, costly stones, to found the house with hewn stones.
Dịka iwu eze si dị, ha na-esite nʼebe a na-awa nkume ebupụta nkume dị mma buru ibu nke e ji ewu ntọala ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ
18 And Solomon’s builders and Hiram’s builders with the Gebalites wrought them, —thus made they ready the timber and the stones, for building the house.
Ndị ikom si Gebal, nyere ndị ọrụ Solomọn na ndị ọrụ Hiram aka, igbutu osisi na ịwa ha. Ha nyekwara aka ịkwado nkume e ji ewu ụlọ ahụ.
