< 1 Kings 9 >

1 After Solomon’s [workers] had finished building the temple and his palace and everything else that Solomon wanted them to build,
Kane Solomon osetieko gero hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye kod dala maduongʼ ma ruoth dakie kendo nosetimo duto mane chunye dwaro,
2 Yahweh appeared to him [in a dream] a second time, like he had appeared to him at [the city of] Gibeon.
Jehova Nyasaye nochako ofwenyorene kendo mar ariyo mana kaka nosefwenyorene Gibeon.
3 Yahweh said to him, “I heard what you prayed and what you pleaded for me to do. I have set apart/dedicated this temple which your [workers] have built to be the place where people will worship me forever. I will always watch over it and protect it.
Jehova Nyasaye nowachone niya, “Asewinjo lamo kod kwayo mitimo e nyima; asewalo hekalu misegero, mondo Nyinga obedie nyaka chiengʼ. Wangʼa kod chunya nobed kanyo kinde duto.
4 “And as for you, if you conduct your life as I want you to, like your father David did, and if you very sincerely obey all the statutes and laws that I have commanded you to obey,
“To in, kiwuotho e nyima gi chuny makare kod bidhruok, kaka Daudi wuonu notimo, kendo timo mago duto machiki kendo kimako puonjna kod buchena,
5 I will do what I promised your father that I would do: I promised him that Israel would always be ruled by his descendants.
to abiro guro kom lochni kuom Israel nyaka chiengʼ mana kaka nasingo ni Daudi wuonu kane awachone ni, ‘Kinde duto ok inichand ngʼama nyalo bedo e kom loch mar Israel.’
6 “But if you or your descendants turn away from me and disobey the commands and decrees that I have given to you, and if you start to worship other gods,
“To ka in iwuon kata yawuoti olokore moweya kendo ok oluwo chikena kod buchena ma asemiyi mi odhi olamo nyiseche moko kendo otiyonigi,
7 I will remove my Israeli people from the land that I have given to them. I will also abandon this temple that I have set apart/dedicated to be the place where people should worship me. Then people everywhere will despise [the people of] Israel and make fun of them.
to anangʼad Israel oko e piny ma asemiyogi kendo anakwed hekaluni ma asewalo ni Nyinga. Israel koro nobed mana wach ngero kendo gir achaya e kind ogendini duto.
8 This temple will become a heap of ruins. Everyone who passes by will be astonished [when they see it], and they will be shocked and say, ‘Why has Yahweh done this to this land and to this temple?’
Kata obedo ni hekaluni koro nigi duongʼ, ji duto mabiro kadho bute nowuor kendo nohum ka gipenjo ni, ‘Angʼo momiyo Jehova Nyasaye osetimo gima chalo kama ni pinyni kod hekaluni?’
9 And other people will reply, ‘It happened because the Israeli people abandoned Yahweh their God, the one who brought their ancestors out of Egypt. They started to accept and worship other gods. And that is why Yahweh has caused them to experience all these disasters.’”
Ji biro dwoko kawacho ni, ‘Nikech gisejwangʼo Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachgi mane ogolo kweregi oa Misri, kendo giseluwo bangʼ nyiseche mamoko, ka gilamogi kendo gitiyo nigi, kuom mano Jehova Nyasaye nokelo chandruok duto kuomgi.’”
10 Solomon’s [workers] labored for 20 years to build the temple and the palace.
E giko higni piero ariyo e kinde mane Solomon ogeroe udi ariyogi ma gin hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye kod dala maduongʼ mar ruoth,
11 Hiram, the king of Tyre had [arranged for his workers to] give Solomon all the cedar and pine [logs] and all the gold that he needed [for this work]. After it was all finished, King Solomon gave to Hiram 20 cities in the Galilee region.
Ruoth Solomon nochiwo ni Hiram ruoth Turo mier piero ariyo manie piny Galili, nikech Hiram nomiye yiend sida gi saipras kod dhahabu mane odwaro.
12 But when Hiram went from Tyre [to Galilee] to see the cities that Solomon had given to him, he was not pleased with them.
To kane Hiram owuok Turo modhi mondo one mier mane Solomon osemiye ne ok omor kodgi.
13 He said to Solomon, “My friend, those cities that you gave me are worthless!” So, that area is still called ‘Worthless’.
Omiyo nowachone niya, “Owadwa, magi to mier machal nadi misemiya?” Kendo nochako kanyo ni Piny Kabul, nying ma pod iluongego nyaka chil kawuono.
14 Hiram paid Solomon only five tons of gold [for those cities].
Koro Hiram noseoro ni ruoth dhahabu maromo kilo alufu angʼwen.
15 This is a record of the work that King Solomon forced men to do. He forced them to build the temple and his palace and the terraces/landfills [on the east side of the city], and the wall around Jerusalem, and [to rebuild the cities of] Hazor and Megiddo and Gezer.
Magi e chenro mar tich achuna mane Ruoth Solomon ondiko mondo ogergo hekalu ni Jehova Nyasaye, gi dala ruoth, gi kuonde ohula, kod ohinga mar Jerusalem, gi mier madongo mag Hazor gi Megido kod Gezer.
16 [The reason they needed to rebuild Gezer was that the army of] the king of Egypt had attacked Gezer and captured it. Then they had burned [the houses in] the city and killed all the people of the Canaan people-group who lived there. The king of Egypt gave that city to his daughter as a gift when she married Solomon.
(Noyudo ka Farao ruodh Misri nosekedo mokawo Gezer. Nowangʼe monego jo-Kanaan mane odakie momiye kaka mich mar arus ni nyare mane chi Solomon.
17 So Solomon’s workers also rebuilt Gezer, and they also rebuilt Lower Beth-Horon [city].
Kendo Solomon nochako ogero Gezer). Nogero Beth Horon ma yo ka mwalo,
18 They also rebuilt Baalath and Tamar [towns] in the desert in [the southern part of] Judah.
gi Baalath kod Tadmor manie thim e pinye,
19 They also built cities where they kept the supplies for Solomon, the places where his horses and chariots were kept. They also built everything else that Solomon wanted them to build, in Jerusalem and in Lebanon, and in other places in the area over which he ruled.
kaachiel gi mier madongo mag kuonde kenone kod mier matindo mag gechene gi faresege kod gimoro amora mane chunye nyalo dwaro mondo oger e Jerusalem, kata e Lebanon, kendo e pinje duto mane enie gi loch.
20 There were many people who belonged to the Amor people-group, the Heth people-group, the Periz people-group, the Hiv people-group, and the Jebus people-group who were not killed when the Israelis captured their land.
Ji duto mane odongʼ e pinyno koa kuom jo-Amor gi jo-Hiti kod jo-Perizi gi jo-Hivi kod jo-Jebus (ogendinigi ne ok jo-Israel),
21 [Their descendants still lived in Israel]. It was those people whom Solomon forced to become his slaves [to build all those places], and they are still slaves.
tiende ni, nyikwagi mane odongʼ e piny, ma jo-Israel ne ok otieko; Solomon nolokogi wasumbini michuno mondo oti githuon, kaka obet nyaka chil kawuono.
22 But Solomon did not force any Israeli people to become slaves. Some Israelis became soldiers and army officers and commanders and drivers of his chariots and soldiers who rode on horses.
To Solomon ne ok oketo ja-Israel moro amora obedo kaka misumbane, to noketogi kaka jolwenje, gi nyipechene kod jodonge mag pinygi gi jotend lweny, jotelo mag geche lweny kod joriemb gechene.
23 There were 550 officials who supervised the slaves who worked [to build all those places].
Bende gin ema negidoko jodongo mane otelo ni tije duto mag Solomon, duto jodongo mia abich gi piero abich kaka nyipeche mag joma ne tiyo.
24 After [Solomon’s wife, who was] the daughter of the king of Egypt, moved from [the place outside Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’ to the palace that Solomon’s workers built for her, Solomon [told his workers to] fill in the slopes on the east side of the city.
Bangʼ kane nyar Farao osewuok e Dala Maduongʼ mar Daudi modhi e dala mane Solomon ogerone, eka Solomon nogero ohinga molworo ode.
25 Three times each year Solomon [brought to the temple] offerings that were completely burned [on the altar] and offerings to restore fellowship with Yahweh. He also brought incense to be burned in the presence of Yahweh. And so his men finished building the temple.
Solomon ne timo misango miwangʼo pep gi misango mar lalruok nyadidek e higa ewi kendo mar misango mane ogero ni Jehova Nyasaye bende nowangʼo ubani e nyim Jehova Nyasaye mi nochopo dwaro mar hekalu.
26 King Solomon’s [workers] also built a fleet of ships at Ezion-Geber [city], which is near Elath [city], on the shore of the Gulf of Aqaba, in the land belonging to the Edom people-group.
Ruoth Solomon bende nohondho yiedhi kama iluongo ni Ezion Geber machiegni gi Elath e piny Edom e dho Nam Makwar.
27 [King] Hiram sent some very expert sailors to work on the ships with Solomon’s workers.
Omiyo Hiram nooro joge ma jokwangʼ mane ongʼeyo nam mondo oti e yiedhi mag Solomon kaachiel gi joge Solomon.
28 They sailed to [the] Ophir [region] and brought back to Solomon about 16 tons of gold.
Negikwangʼ nyaka Ofir kendo negikelo dhahabu maromo kilo alufu apar gangʼwen mine gikelo ne ruoth Solomon.
