1 Kings 5
1 Hiram, the king of Tyre [city], had always been a close friend of King David. When he heard that Solomon had been appointed to become the king after his father was no longer king, he sent some messengers to Solomon [to congratulate him].
Daia moilai bai bagade hina bagade Haila: me da eso huluane Da: ibidi ela dogolegei galusu. E da Soloumane ea eda Da: ibidi bagia hina bagade hou lai amo nababeba: le, e da ema sia: alofele iasu dunu asunasi.
2 Solomon [gave those messengers] this message to take back to Hiram:
Soloumane da Haila: mema amane dabe sia: si,
3 “You know that my father David [led his soldiers to] fight many wars against his enemies in the nearby countries. So he could not [arrange to] build a temple in which we [MTY] could worship Yahweh our God, until after Yahweh enabled [the Israeli army] to defeat [IDM] all his enemies.
“Di dawa: , Na ada Da: ibidi da mae fisili, ha lai fi dunu la: ididili, la: ididili ilima gegenanu. Hina Gode da ea ha lai dunu huluanema hasalasimusa: hamoi. Be bagadewane gegeiba: le, e da ea Hina Godema nodone sia: ne gadomusa: Debolo diasu gagumu hamedei ba: i.
4 But now Yahweh our God has enabled us to have peace with all the surrounding countries. [(There is no danger that/We do not need to worry that)] we will be attacked.
Be waha na Hina Gode da na soge alalo ganodini fi ilima olofosu i dagoi. Na da nama ha lai hame amola dunu fi enoga nama doagala: le gegemu da hame gala.
5 Yahweh promised my father David, ‘Your son, whom I will enable to be king after you are no longer king, will build a temple for me [MTY].’ Because of that, I have decided to build a temple in which we can worship [MTY] Yahweh our God.
Hina Gode da na ada Da: ibidima amane ilegei, ‘Na da diagofe di bagia hina bagade ilegei. Ea da Nagili Debolo diasu gagumu.’ Amola waha na da amo Hina Godema nodone sia: ne gadosu Debolo diasu gagumusa: dawa:
6 “So [I am requesting that] you command your workers to cut cedar trees for me. My men will work with them, and I will pay your workers whatever you decide. [But] my men [cannot do the work alone, ] because they do not know how to cut down trees like your workers from Sidon [city] do.”
Amaiba: le, dia hawa: hamosu dunu amo Lebanone sogega dolo ifa abusa: ne asunasima. Na dunu da ili bisili hawa: hamoma: mu, amola di da adi bidi adosea, na da dia hawa: hamosu dunuma imunu. Dia da noga: le dawa: Na dunu da dia dunu ilia ifa abusa: su dawa: , amo defele hame dawa:
7 When Hiram heard the message from Solomon, he was very happy and said, “I praise Yahweh today for giving David a very wise son to rule that great nation!”
Haila: me da Soloumane ea sia: i nababeba: le, hahawane bagade ba: i. E amane sia: i, “Wali eso, Hina Godema nodoma! Bai E da Da: ibidima e bagia Isala: ili fi noga: idafa amo ouligima: ne, bagade dawa: su egefema i dagoi.
8 He sent this message back to Solomon: “I have heard the message that you sent to me, and I am ready to do what you ask. I will provide cedar and cypress logs.
Amalalu, Haila: me da Soloumanema amane sia: sia: si, “Na da dia sia: sia: si amo nabi dagoi. Na da dia adole ba: i amo hamomusa: momagei dagoi. Na da dolo ifa amola ‘baine’ ifa digili imunu.
9 My workers will bring the logs down from [the] Lebanon [mountains] to the [Mediterranean] sea. Then they will [tie them together to] make rafts to float them [in the water] along the coast to the place that you indicate. Then my workers will untie the logs, and your workers will take them from there. What I want you to do is to supply food for the people who work in my palace.”
Na hawa: hamosu dunu da Lebanone sogeganini ifa lale, hano wayabo bagade amo gudu hiougilala dafia: le, simi amunawene, amalu hanoba: le sua: sa sa: ili, hano bega: sogebi amo di da ilegesea, amogawi doaga: mu. Amogawi, na dunu ilia da simi fadegale, dia dunu ilia da amo ifa ouligimu. Diawane, na dunu iligili ha: i manu sagoma.”
10 So Hiram [arranged for his workers to] supply all the cedar and cypress logs that Solomon wanted.
Amaiba: le, Haila: me da Soloumanema ea hanai defele, dolo amola ‘baine’ ifa abusa: le i.
11 Each year Solomon gave Hiram 100,000 bushels of wheat and 110,000 gallons of pure [olive] oil to feed the people who worked in his palace.
Amola Soloumane da widi gala: ine 1,000 ‘dane’ agoane (dioi baligidafa) amola olife susuligi noga: idafa 400,000 lida agoane, Haila: me ea hawa: hamosu dunu ili moma: ne, Haila: mema i.
12 Yahweh enabled Solomon to be wise, just like he had promised. Solomon and Hiram made a treaty/agreement that there would be peace between their [two governments/countries].
Hina Gode da Ea hamomusa: ilegei amo mae gogolele dialu, amo Soloumanema bagade dawa: su i. Haila: me amola Soloumane ela da olofole hahawane esalu. Ela da fefedele nasu hamoi.
13 King Solomon forced 30,000 men from all over Israel to become his workers.
Hina bagade Soloumane da gasa fili, Isala: ili soge huluane amoga udigili hawa: hamosu dunu 30,000 agoane hawa: hamoma: ne sesei.
14 Adoniram was their boss. Solomon divided the men into three groups. Each month 10,000 of them went to Lebanon and worked for a month there, and then they came back home for two months.
E da A: dounaila: mema amo udigili hawa: hamosu dunu ouligima: ne ilegei. E da amo 30,000 dunu udiana 10,000 agoane momogi. Amo mogi udiana afae afae da Lebanone sogega esalea, oubi afae uduli, bu Isala: ili sogega oubi aduna esalomusa: buhagisu.
15 Solomon also forced 80,000 men to cut stones in the hilly area and 70,000 men to haul the stones [to Jerusalem].
Amola Soloumane da 80,000 dunu enowane agolo sogega magufu damusu hawa: hamoma: ne asunasi. Amola dunu eno 70,000 agoane ilia da amo magufu damui gisima: ne asunasi.
16 And he also assigned 3,600 men to supervise their work.
Amola ilia hawa: hamosu amo ouligima: ne, e da sesesu dunu3,300 agoane asunasi.
17 The king also commanded his workers to cut huge blocks of stones from the quarries and to smooth the sides of the stones. Those huge stones were for the foundation of the temple.
Hina bagade Soloumane da hamoma: ne sia: beba: le, ilia da Debolo bai fa: musa: , igi bagade noga: idafa hahamoi.
18 Solomon’s workers and Hiram’s workers and men from Gebal/Byblos [city] shaped the stones and prepared the timber to build the temple.
Soloumane amola Haila: me elea hawa: hamosu dunu, amola Giba: le moilai ganodini fi dunu, ilia Debolo diasu gagumusa: , gele amola ifa amola momagele legei.
