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,
Yommuu Solomoon mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootii fi masaraa mootummaa ijaaree waan hojjechuu barbaade hunda fixetti,
2 Yahweh appeared to him [in a dream] a second time, like he had appeared to him at [the city of] Gibeon.
Waaqayyo akkuma Gibeʼoonitti isatti mulʼate sana ammas yeroo lammaffaa isatti mulʼate.
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.
Waaqayyo akkana isaan jedhe: “Ani kadhannaa fi waammata ati fuula koo duratti dhiʼeessite dhagaʼeera; ani mana qulqullummaa kan ati ijaarte kana maqaa koo bara baraan achi keessa kaaʼuudhaan eebbiseera. Iji koo fi garaan koo yeroo hunda achuma jira.
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,
“Yoo ati akkuma Daawit abbaan kee godhe sana garaa qulqulluu fi qajeelummaan fuula koo dura deemtee waan ani ajaje hunda hojjette, yoo qajeelchawwanii fi seerawwan koo eegde,
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.
ani akkuman yeroo, ‘Ati nama teessoo Israaʼel irra taaʼu hin dhabdu’ jedhee abbaa kee Daawitiif waadaa gale sana teessoo mootummaa keetii Israaʼel irratti jabeessee bara baraan nan dhaaba.
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,
“Garuu yoo ati yookaan ilmaan kee narraa gortanii ajajawwanii fi qajeelchawwan ani isinii kenne sana irraa gara waaqota biraa tajaajiluu fi isaan waaqeffachuu dhaqxan,
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.
ani biyya isaaniif kenne keessaa Israaʼelin nan ariʼa; mana qulqullummaa kan Maqaa kootiif qulqulleesse kana illee nan balfa. Ergasiis Israaʼel saboota hunda biratti waan kolfaatii fi waan qoosaa taati.
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?’
Manni qulqullummaa kunis tuullaa waan diigamee taʼa; namni achiin darbu hundis dinqisiifatee, ‘Waaqayyo maaliif biyya kanaa fi mana qulqullummaa kanatti waan akkasii hojjete?’ jedhee itti qoosa.
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.’”
Namoonnis, ‘Sababiin inni balaa kana hunda isaanitti fideef waan isaan Waaqayyo Waaqa isaanii kan abbootii isaanii Gibxii isaan baase sana dhiisanii, waaqota biraa hammatanii, isaanin waaqeffatanii tajaajilaniif’ jedhanii ni deebisu.”
10 Solomon’s [workers] labored for 20 years to build the temple and the palace.
Dhuma waggaa digdamaatti, yeroo itti Solomoon manneen lamaan jechuunis mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootii fi masaraa mootummaa ijaare sanatti,
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.
Hiiraam mootichi Xiiroos akkuma Solomoon Mootichi barbaadetti muka birbirsaatii fi gaattiraa akkasuma warqee kenneef; Solomoon immoo magaalaawwan Galiilaa keessa jiran digdama Hiiraam mooticha Xiiroosiif kenne.
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.
Hiiraam garuu yommuu Xiiroos irraa kaʼee magaalaawwan Solomoon isaaf kenne ilaaluu dhaqetti magaalaawwan sanatti hin gammanne.
13 He said to Solomon, “My friend, those cities that you gave me are worthless!” So, that area is still called ‘Worthless’.
Innis, “Yaa obboleessoo, magaalaawwan ati naa kennite kunneen magaalaawwan akkamii ti?” jedhee isa gaafate. Kanaafuu biyya Kaabuul jedhee maqaa hamma harʼaatti ittiin waamaman tokko baaseef.
14 Hiram paid Solomon only five tons of gold [for those cities].
Hiiraamis warqee taalaantii 120 mootichaaf ergee ture.
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.
Seenaan itti Solomoon Mootichi mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo, masaraa mootummaa kan ofii isaa Miiloo, dallaa Yerusaalem, Haazoor, Megidoo fi Geezirin ijaaruuf hojjettoota dirqamanii hojii humnaa hojjetanitti fayyadame kanaa dha.
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.
Faraʼoon mootichi Gibxi Geezirin lolee qabatee ture. Innis ibidda itti qabsiise; Kanaʼaanota achi keessa jiraatan fixee intala ofii isaa, niitii Solomoon sanaaf magaalattii gabbara godhee kenne.
17 So Solomon’s workers also rebuilt Gezer, and they also rebuilt Lower Beth-Horon [city].
Solomoonis deebisee Geezirin ijaare. Innis Beet Horoon gad aanu,
18 They also rebuilt Baalath and Tamar [towns] in the desert in [the southern part of] Judah.
Baaʼilaati, Tadmoor kan gammoojjii biyya Yihuudaa keessatti argamtu sana,
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.
akkasumas magaalaawwan kuusaawwan isaa hunda, magaalaawwan gaariiwwanii fi kan fardeen isaa, waanuma Yerusaalemitti, Libaanoonittii fi biyya bulchu hunda keessatti ijaaruu barbaade hundumas ni ijaare.
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.
Ammas namoota Israaʼeloota hin taʼin kanneen Amoorota, Heetota, Feerzota, Hiiwotaa fi Yebuusota jalaa hafanitu jira.
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.
Solomoonis sanyiiwwan namoota kanneen hundaa warra biyyattii keessatti hafan kanneen Israaʼeloonni balleessuu hin dandaʼin sana akkuma hamma harʼaatti illee jiru kana akka isaan hojii garbummaa hojjetaniif dirqisiise.
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.
Solomoon garuu Israaʼeloota keessaa nama tokko illee hin garboomsine; isaan loltoota isaa, qondaaltota mootummaa isaa, ajajjuuwwan loltoota isaa, abbootii duulaa, ajajjuuwwan gaariiwwanii fi ajajjuuwwan abbootii fardaa isaa turan.
23 There were 550 officials who supervised the slaves who worked [to build all those places].
Isaan akkasumas hojii Solomoon hojjechiisaa ture keessatti qondaaltota hangafoota turan; qondaaltonni 550 hojjettoota hojii hojjetan kana toʼachaa turan.
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.
Solomoonis erga intalli Faraʼoon sun Magaalaa Daawit keessaa gara masaraa mootummaa kan Solomoon isheef ijaare sana dhuftee booddee Miiloo ijaare.
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.
Solomoon waggaatti yeroo sadii aarsaa gubamuu fi aarsaa nagaa iddoo aarsaa kan Waaqayyoof ijaare sana irratti dhiʼeessa ni ture; sana wajjinis, fuula Waaqayyoo duratti ixaana aarsee akkasiin hojii ijaarsa mana qulqullummaa fixe.
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.
Solomoon mootichi amma illee Eziyoon Geber ishee biyya Edoom keessa, Eelooti bira jirtu keessatti qarqara Galaana Diimaatti dooniiwwan hojjete.
27 [King] Hiram sent some very expert sailors to work on the ships with Solomon’s workers.
Hiiraamis akka isaan namoota Solomoon wajjin dooniiwwan irra hojjetaniif namoota isaa warra doonii oofan kanneen galaanicha beekan erge.
28 They sailed to [the] Ophir [region] and brought back to Solomon about 16 tons of gold.
Isaanis dooniidhaan Oofiir dhaqanii warqee taalaantii 420 fidanii Solomoon mootichatti kennan.
