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].
Kane Hiram ruodh Turo owinjo ni Solomon osewir mondo obed ruoth kar Daudi wuon-gi, nooro joote ire nikech nosebedo ka en osiepe kod Daudi.
2 Solomon [gave those messengers] this message to take back to Hiram:
Solomon nooro wachne Hiram kowacho niya,
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.
“Ingʼeyo ni nikech lwenje duto mane Daudi wuora kedogo koni gi koni mane miyo ok onyal gero hekalu moluongo Nying Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasache nyaka chop Jehova Nyasaye ket wasike duto e bwo tiende.
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.
To koro Jehova Nyasaye Nyasacha osemiya yweyo kuom pinje duto molwora bende onge Jawasigu kata masira moro amora.
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.
Omiyo achano gero hekalu ni Nying Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasacha kaka Jehova Nyasaye nochiko Daudi wuonwa kowacho ni, ‘Wuodi ma anaketi e kom loch kari biro gero hekalu ni Nyinga.’
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.”
“Kuom mano gol chik mondo ongʼadna Sida mag Lebanon. Jotichna biro tiyo kaachiel gi jotichni, bende abiro chulo jogi chudo moro amora miketo. Ingʼeyo ni waonge gi ngʼat ma olony e goyo yien piny kaka jo-Sidon.”
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!”
Kane Hiram owinjo ote Solomon ne omor ahinya mine owacho niya, “Pak obed ni Jehova Nyasaye kawuono nikech osemiyo Daudi wuowi mariek mondo olochi kuom oganda maduongʼni.”
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.
Omiyo Hiram nodwoko Solomon kawacho niya, “Aseyudo wach mane iorona kendo abiro timo duto midwaro kuom chiwo yiend Sida gi bao.
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.”
Joga biro ywayogi kagologi Lebanon nyaka e nam, kendo abiro kwangʼogi gi yie e nam nyaka kama iniwachi. Kanyo abiro pogogi kendo inyalo kawogi. To nyaka itim dwarona ka ichiwo chiemo moromo jooda ma joka ruoth duto.”
10 So Hiram [arranged for his workers to] supply all the cedar and cypress logs that Solomon wanted.
Mano e kaka Hiram nochiwo ni Solomon gi yien duto mag Sida gi bao mane odwaro,
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.
kendo Solomon nochiwo ni Hiram gunde alufu mia achiel gi piero ariyo gabich mag ngano mondo obed chiemb joode kod mo madirom lita mia angʼwen gi piero aboro. Solomon nomedo dhi nyime katimo maa ne Hiram higa ka higa.
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].
Jehova Nyasaye nomiyo Solomon rieko mana kaka nosesingorene. Ne nitie winjruok mar kwe e kind Hiram kod Solomon kendo gin ji ariyogo negitimo singruok e kindgi.
13 King Solomon forced 30,000 men from all over Israel to become his workers.
Ruoth Solomon nondiko jotich lwedo mar achuna e piny Israel duto maromo joma chwo alufu piero adek.
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.
Noorogi mondo gi dhi Lebanon dwe ka dwe ka gitiyo e migawo mar ji alufu apar e dwe, omiyo negitieko dwe achiel Lebanon to dweche ariyo gitieko dala. Adoniram ema ne otelo e tich lwedo matek mar achunano.
15 Solomon also forced 80,000 men to cut stones in the hilly area and 70,000 men to haul the stones [to Jerusalem].
Solomon ne nigi jotingʼo alufu piero abiriyo kod jopa kidi ewi got ji alufu piero aboro,
16 And he also assigned 3,600 men to supervise their work.
kaachiel gi nyipeche alufu adek gi mia adek mane ochungʼ ne tich.
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.
Kane ruoth oketonegi chik negimuko kite madongo ma nengogi tek mag mise mag kite mopa mag hekalu.
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.
Kamano jogedo molony mag Solomon gi Hiram kod jo-Gibal nongʼado yien kendo oloso bepe kod kite mag gero hekalu.
