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].
Nangibaon ni Hiram nga ari ti Tiro kadagiti adipenna a mapan kenni Solomon, ta nangngegna a pinulutanda isuna nga ari kasukat ti amana; ta impatpateg ni Hiram ni David.
2 Solomon [gave those messengers] this message to take back to Hiram:
Nangipatulod ni Solomon iti mensahena kenni Hiram, a kunana,
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.
“Ammom a ni David nga amak ket saan a makaipatakder iti balay a para iti nagan ni Yahweh a Diosna gapu kadagiti gubat iti aglawlawna, ta iti unos iti panagbiagna, tinultulungan isuna ni Yahweh tapno maparmekna dagiti kabusorna.
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.
Ngem ita, inikkannak ni Yahweh a Diosko iti kapia iti amin a paset ti aglawlawko. Awan ti kabusor wenno didigra.
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.
Isu a napanunotko ti mangipatakder iti templo para iti nagan ni Yahweh a Diosko, kas imbaga ni Yahweh kenni David nga amak, a kunana, 'Ti anakmonto a lalaki, nga isaadkonto iti tronom kas kasukatmo, ket ipatakdernanto ti templo para iti naganko.'
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.”
Isu nga ita, ibilinmo nga ipukanandak kadagiti sedro a naggapu idiay Lebanon. Ket kadwaanto dagiti adipenko dagiti adipenmo, ket agbayadakto kenka para kadagiti adipenmo tapno mabayadanka a naimbag para iti amin a banag nga anamungam nga aramiden. Ta ammom met nga awan ti uray maysa kadakami ti makaammo no kasano ti agpukan iti troso a kas kadagiti tattao a taga-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!”
Idi nangngeg ni Hiram ti mensahe ni Solomon, napalalo ti ragsakna ket kinunana, “Maidaydayaw koma ita a kanito ni Yahweh, a nangted kenni David iti nasirib a putot a lalaki a mangituray kadagitoy adu unay a tattao.”
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.
Nangipatulod ni Hiram iti mensahe kenni Solomon, kunana, “Nangngegko ti mensahe nga impatulodmo kaniak. Aramidek amin ti tartarigagayam maipanggep iti troso ti sedro ken saleng.
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.”
Isalogto dagiti adipenko dagiti kayo manipud Lebanon agingga idiay baybay, ken aramidekto dagitoy a balsa a maipayanod iti baybay nga agturong iti lugar nga ibagam kaniak. Ipawarwarkonto dagitoy apaman a makasangpet dita, ket mabalinto nga alaem dagitoy. Aramidemto dagiti tartarigagayak babaen iti panangitedmo iti taraon para iti sangkabalayak.”
10 So Hiram [arranged for his workers to] supply all the cedar and cypress logs that Solomon wanted.
Inted ngarud ni Hiram kenni Solomon dagiti amin a troso ti sedro ken saleng a tinarigagayna.
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.
Inikkan ni Solomon ni Hiram iti duapuloribu a sukat ti trigo ken duapulo a sukat ti puro a lana para iti taraon dagiti sangkabalayanna. Tinawen daytoy nga it-ited ni Solomon kenni Hiram.
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].
Inikkan ni Yahweh ni Solomon iti kinasirib, a kas inkarina kenkuana. Adda kappia iti nagbaetan da Hiram ken Solomon, ken nagtulagda a dua.
13 King Solomon forced 30,000 men from all over Israel to become his workers.
Kapilitan a pinagtrabaho ni Ari Solomon dagiti amin nga adda iti entero nga Israel; agarup tallopulo a ribu ti bilang dagiti lallaki nga inkapilitan nga agtrabaho.
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.
Imbaonna ida idiay Lebanon, sangapulo a ribu dagiti agsisinnublat iti binulan. Maysa a bulan nga addada idiay Lebanon ken dua a bulan nga addada iti pagtaenganda. Ni Adoniram ti mangimatmaton kadagiti trabahador nga inkapilitan nga agtarabaho.
15 Solomon also forced 80,000 men to cut stones in the hilly area and 70,000 men to haul the stones [to Jerusalem].
Addaan ni Solomon iti pitupulo a ribu a para bagkat kadagiti nadadagsen ken walopulo a ribu a para-tapias kadagiti bato kadagiti banbantay,
16 And he also assigned 3,600 men to supervise their work.
malaksid pay kadagiti 3, 300 a panguloen nga opisial ni Solomon a mangimatmaton iti trabaho ken mangidadaulo kadagiti trabahador.
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.
Iti bilin ti ari, nangtapiasda kadagiti dadakkel ken napipintas a bato a pakaipasdekan ti pundasion ti templo.
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.
Nagtikap ngarud dagiti trabahador ni Solomon ken dagiti trabahador ni Hiram ken dagiti taga-Gebal ken insaganada dagiti troso ken dagiti bato tapno maipatakder ti templo.
