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,
Tukun Tokosra Solomon el aksafyela musa lal ke Tempul, oayapa inkul fulat sel ac ma nukewa saya su el ke musai,
2 Yahweh appeared to him [in a dream] a second time, like he had appeared to him at [the city of] Gibeon.
LEUM GOD El sifilpa sikyang nu sel oana ke El tuh sikyang nu sel in acn 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.
Ac LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel, “Nga lohng tari pre lom. Nga akmutalyela Tempul se inge su kom musaela tuh mwet uh fah alu nu sik we ma pahtpat. Nga ac liyaung ac karingin na ke pacl nukewa.
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,
Kom fin kulansupweyu ke inse pwaye ac suwohs, oana David, papa tomom, el oru, oayapa kom fin akos ma sap luk ac ma nukewa su nga sapkin nu sum,
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.
nga ac fah karinginna wulela ma nga orala nu sel David, papa tomom, ke nga fahk nu sel mu fwilin tulik na natul pa ac fah leum fin Israel nwe tok.
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,
Tusruktu kom, ku wen nutum, fin forla likiyu ac tila fahsr tukuk, a seakos ma sap luk ac ma nga sapkin, ac alu nu sin god saya,
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.
na nga ac fah lusla mwet Israel liki facl se nga sang selos inge, ac nga ac fah oayapa tuyak ac som liki Tempul se nga akmutalyela tuh in nien alu nu sik. Mwet in acn nukewa ac fah isrun mwet Israel ac aklusrongtenyalos.
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?’
Tempul se inge ac fah ekla sie yol in ma sisila, ac mwet nukewa su fufahsryesr we ac fah lut ac fwefela kac ac fahk, ‘Efu ku LEUM GOD El oru acn se inge ac Tempul se inge ouinge?’
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.’”
Na mwet uh ac fah topuk ac fahk, ‘Mweyen elos sisla LEUM GOD lalos su use mwet matu lalos liki acn Egypt. Elos forang orek asruoki nu sin god saya ac alu nu selos, pa pwanang LEUM GOD El use ongoiya inge nu faclos.’”
10 Solomon’s [workers] labored for 20 years to build the temple and the palace.
Solomon el musai Tempul ac inkul fulat sel ke yac longoul.
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.
Tokosra Hiram lun acn Tyre el tuh sang sak cedar ac pine nukewa wi gold nukewa ma Solomon el enenu nu ke orekma sac. Tukun safla orekma sac, Solomon el sang siti srisrik longoul in acn Galilee nu sel Hiram.
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.
Hiram el som in liye acn inge tuh el tiana lungse.
13 He said to Solomon, “My friend, those cities that you gave me are worthless!” So, that area is still called ‘Worthless’.
Na el fahk nu sel Solomon, “Ma lik, ku pa inge siti ma kom se luk uh?” Ke sripa se inge, acn inge srakna pangpang Cabul.
14 Hiram paid Solomon only five tons of gold [for those cities].
Hiram el tuh supwala apkuran in singoul tausin paun ke gold nu sel Solomon.
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.
Tokosra Solomon el orekmakin mwet in kumak lal in musai Tempul ac inkul fulat sin tokosra, ac in koanela layen nu kutulap in Jerusalem, ac orala pot kuhlusyen siti uh. El orekmakunulos pac in akwoyela siti Hazor, Megiddo, ac 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.
Tokosra lun Egypt el tuh mweuni acn Gezer ac sruokya. El onela mwet we ac furreak siti sac. Na el sang nu sin acn se natul tuh in mwe kite lal nu sel ke el payukyak nu sel Solomon.
17 So Solomon’s workers also rebuilt Gezer, and they also rebuilt Lower Beth-Horon [city].
Na tok, Solomon el sifilpa musaela.) El orekmakin pa mwet in kumak lal, ac sifil musaela Beth Horon Ten,
18 They also rebuilt Baalath and Tamar [towns] in the desert in [the southern part of] Judah.
Baalath, Tamar ma oan yen turangang uten acn Judah,
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.
ac siti nukewa ma kufwa lal oan we, oayapa siti nukewa ma horse ac chariot natul oan we, ac kutu pac ma saya ma el ke musai in acn Jerusalem, Lebanon, ac acn pac saya in tokosrai lal.
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.
Mwet nukewa ma lula sin mwet Amor, mwet Hit, mwet Periz, mwet Hiv, ac mwet Jebus, su tia mwet 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.
fwil natulos su srakna muta in acn inge, su mwet Israel tuh tia ku in kunauselosla nufon — mwet inge Solomon el eisaloseni ke ku lal tuh elos in mwet kohs, ac elos srakna orekma in kohs nwe misenge.
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.
Solomon el tuh tia orekmakin mwet Israel nu ke mwet kohs, a el orekmakunulos in mwet mweun, leum lun mwet mweun, mwet kol fulat lun un mwet mweun, mwet utuk chariot, ac mwet kasrusr fin horse.
23 There were 550 officials who supervised the slaves who worked [to build all those places].
Oasr mwet kol lumfoko lumngaul ma karinganang mwet kumakinyuk in oru kain in musa nukewa ma Solomon el sapkin in orek.
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.
Solomon el koanela layen kutulap ke siti uh, tukun mutan kial su ma nutin tokosra Egypt el tuh mukuila liki Siti sel David nu ke lohm se ma Solomon el musaela sel.
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.
Pacl tolu in yac se Solomon el orek kisa firir ac kisa in akinsewowo fin loang su el musaela nu sin LEUM GOD, ac el oayapa akosak mwe keng nu sin LEUM GOD. Ouinge safla musa lal ke Tempul.
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.
Tokosra Solomon el oayapa musaela sie un oak in acn Eziongeber, su oan apkuran nu Elath ke weacn in Meoa Srusra in acn Edom.
27 [King] Hiram sent some very expert sailors to work on the ships with Solomon’s workers.
Tokosra Hiram el supwala kutu mwet pah ke kalkal ke un oak okwal sifacna, elos in wi mwet kalkal lal Solomon.
28 They sailed to [the] Ophir [region] and brought back to Solomon about 16 tons of gold.
Elos oayak som nu Ophir, ac ke elos foloko elos use paun in gold tolngoul luo tausin nu sel Solomon.
