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,
Rĩrĩa Solomoni aarĩkirie gwaka hekarũ ya Jehova o na nyũmba ya ũthamaki, na akĩhingia maũndũ marĩa mothe erirĩirie gwĩka-rĩ,
2 Yahweh appeared to him [in a dream] a second time, like he had appeared to him at [the city of] Gibeon.
Jehova akĩmuumĩrĩra hĩndĩ ya keerĩ, o ta ũrĩa aamuumĩrĩire arĩ Gibeoni.
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 akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ: “Nĩnjiguĩte kũhooya na gũthaithana kũrĩa ũhooete ũrĩ mbere yakwa; nĩnyamũrĩte hekarũ ĩno, ĩrĩa wee wakĩte, nĩgeetha ndũme Rĩĩtwa rĩakwa rĩtũũre kuo nginya tene. Maitho makwa na ngoro yakwa nĩirĩkoragwo kuo hĩndĩ ciothe.
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,
“No wee mwene-rĩ, ũngĩthiiaga mbere yakwa na wĩhokeku wa ngoro na ũrũngĩrĩru ta ũrĩa thoguo Daudi ekaga, na wĩkage ũrĩa ngwathĩte, na ũmenyagĩrĩre kĩrĩra kĩa watho wakwa wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo na mawatho makwa-rĩ,
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.
Nĩngahaanda gĩtĩ gĩaku kĩa ũnene thĩinĩ wa Isiraeli nginya tene, o ta ũrĩa nderĩire thoguo Daudi rĩrĩa ndoigire atĩrĩ, ‘Ndũkaaga mũndũ wa gũikarĩra gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene kĩa Isiraeli o naarĩ.’
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,
“No wee kana ariũ aku mũngĩkagarũrũka mũtigane na niĩ, na mwage kũmenyerera maathani na kĩrĩra kĩa watho wakwa wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo kĩrĩa niĩ ndĩmũheete na mũthiĩ mũgatungatĩre ngai ingĩ na mũcihooe-rĩ,
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.
hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩngeheria andũ a Isiraeli bũrũri ũyũ ndĩmaheete na ndiganĩrie hekarũ ĩno nyamũrĩte ĩĩtanio na Rĩĩtwa rĩakwa. Bũrũri wa Isiraeli ũgaatuĩka wa kuunagwo thimo, na kĩndũ gĩa gũthekererwo nĩ andũ othe.
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?’
Na o na gũtuĩka hekarũ ĩno nĩ ya kũgegania-rĩ, arĩa othe makaahĩtũkagĩra ho nĩmakamakaga na manyũrũrie moige atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmĩte Jehova eke bũrũri ũyũ na hekarũ ĩno ũndũ ta ũyũ?’
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.’”
Andũ nĩmagacookia moige atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ tondũ nĩmatiganĩirie Jehova Ngai wao, ũrĩa warutire maithe mao bũrũri wa Misiri, makahĩmbĩria ngai ingĩ, na magacihooya na magacitungatĩra; nĩkĩo Jehova amareehithĩirie mwanangĩko ũyũ wothe.’”
10 Solomon’s [workers] labored for 20 years to build the temple and the palace.
Thuutha wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ, o ihinda rĩrĩa Solomoni aakire nyũmba icio cierĩ; na nĩcio hekarũ ya Jehova na nyũmba ya ũthamaki,
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.
Mũthamaki Solomoni nĩaheire Hiramu mũthamaki wa Turo matũũra mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ kũu Galili, tondũ Hiramu nĩamũreheire mĩtarakwa yothe, na mĩthengera, na thahabu iria aabatairio nĩcio.
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.
No hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Hiramu ooimire Turo nĩguo akoone matũũra marĩa aaheetwo nĩ Solomoni, ndaakenirio nĩmo.
13 He said to Solomon, “My friend, those cities that you gave me are worthless!” So, that area is still called ‘Worthless’.
Nake akĩũria Solomoni atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wa baba, nĩ matũũra matariĩ atĩa maya ũũheete?” Akĩmatua Bũrũri wa Kabuli, na noguo metagwo o na ũmũthĩ.
14 Hiram paid Solomon only five tons of gold [for those cities].
Na rĩrĩ, Hiramu nĩarĩkĩtie gũtũmĩra Mũthamaki Solomoni taranda igana rĩa mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ cia thahabu.
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.
Ũyũ nĩguo ũhoro wa ũrĩa Mũthamaki Solomoni aarutithirie andũ wĩra na hinya matekwĩyendera wa gwaka hekarũ ya Jehova na nyũmba ya ũthamaki, na mbenji, na rũthingo rwa Jerusalemu, na Hazoru, na Megido, na Gezeru.
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.
Firaũni mũthamaki wa Misiri nĩatharĩkĩire na akĩnyiita Gezeru. Agĩgũcina na mwaki, na akĩũraga andũ a Kaanani arĩa maatũũraga kuo, na agĩcooka agĩkũhe mwarĩ, mũtumia wa Solomoni, arĩ kĩheo kĩa ũhiki.
17 So Solomon’s workers also rebuilt Gezer, and they also rebuilt Lower Beth-Horon [city].
Nake Solomoni agĩaka Gezeru rĩngĩ. Nĩaakire Bethi-Horoni ya mũhuro, na
18 They also rebuilt Baalath and Tamar [towns] in the desert in [the southern part of] Judah.
Baalathu, na Tadimori rĩa werũ-inĩ, thĩinĩ wa bũrũri wake,
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.
o na ningĩ nĩaakire matũũra manene ma kũiga indo ciake na matũũra ma ngaari ciake cia ita na ma mbarathi ciake, na kĩrĩa gĩothe eerirĩirie gwaka Jerusalemu, na Lebanoni, na bũrũri wothe ũrĩa aathanaga.
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.
Andũ othe arĩa maatigaire kuuma kũrĩ Aamori, na Ahiti, na Aperizi, na Ahivi, na Ajebusi (andũ acio matiarĩ andũ a Isiraeli),
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.
ũguo nĩ kuuga njiaro ciao iria ciatigarĩte bũrũri-inĩ, iria andũ a Isiraeli mataaniinĩte, acio nĩo maandĩkithirio nĩ Solomoni matuĩke ngombo ciake cia kũrutithio wĩra na hinya, na noguo gũtũire nginya ũmũthĩ.
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.
No Solomoni ndaatuire mũndũ o na ũmwe wa Isiraeli ngombo; nĩo maarĩ andũ ake a kũrũa mbaara, na atongoria a thirikari yake, na anene ake, na atongoria a thigari, na aathi a ngaari cia ita, na atwari a cio.
23 There were 550 officials who supervised the slaves who worked [to build all those places].
Ningĩ nĩ kwarĩ atongoria a anene 550 arĩa maarutithagia mawĩra mothe ma Solomoni na makarũgamĩrĩra aruti wĩra.
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.
Rĩrĩa mwarĩ wa Firaũni aambatire kuuma itũũra inene rĩa Daudi agĩthiĩ gũikara nyũmba ya ũthamaki ĩrĩa Solomoni aamwakĩire, hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩguo Solomoni aathondekire mbenji cia kũmĩnyiitĩrĩra.
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.
Solomoni aarutaga magongona ma njino na ma ũiguano kĩgongona-inĩ kĩrĩa aakĩire Jehova maita matatũ o mwaka, agacinaga ũbumba mbere ya Jehova hamwe namo, na nĩ ũndũ ũcio akahingia watho wa hekarũ.
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.
Ningĩ Mũthamaki Solomoni agĩaka marikabu nyingĩ kũu Ezioni-Geberi, gũkuhĩ na Elothu kũu Edomu, hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia Iria Itune.
27 [King] Hiram sent some very expert sailors to work on the ships with Solomon’s workers.
Nake Hiramu agĩtũma andũ ake, atwarithia a marikabu arĩa maamenyete ũhoro wa iria, nĩguo matungatage marikabu-inĩ marĩ na andũ a Solomoni.
28 They sailed to [the] Ophir [region] and brought back to Solomon about 16 tons of gold.
Magĩthiĩ nginya Ofiri, na makĩrehe taranda magana mana ma mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ cia thahabu, iria maatwarĩire Mũthamaki Solomoni.
