1 Kings 5
1 And Hiram king of Tyre sendeth his servants unto Solomon, for he heard that they had anointed him for king instead of his father, for Hiram was a lover of David all the days;
Awo Kiramu kabaka w’e Ttuulo bwe yawulira nga Sulemaani bamufuseeko amafuta okuba kabaka, ng’asikidde kitaawe Dawudi, n’atuma ababaka be eri Sulemaani, kubanga yali mukwano gwa Dawudi.
2 and Solomon sendeth unto Hiram, saying,
Sulemaani n’atumira Kiramu ng’ayogera nti,
3 'Thou hast known David my father, that he hath not been able to build a house to the name of Jehovah his God, because of the wars that have been round about him, till Jehovah's putting them under the soles of his feet.
“Omanyi nti, Olw’entalo ennyingi ezeetooloola Dawudi kitange, teyasobola kuzimbira linnya lya Mukama Katonda we yeekaalu, okutuusa Mukama lwe yamala okuteeka abalabe be wansi w’ebigere bye.
4 'And now, Jehovah my God hath given rest to me round about, there is no adversary nor evil occurrence,
Naye kaakano Mukama Katonda wange awadde Isirayiri yonna emirembe ku njuyi zonna, era tewakyali mulabe wadde akabi ak’engeri yonna.
5 and lo, I am saying to build a house to the name of Jehovah my God, as Jehovah spake unto David my father, saying, Thy son whom I appoint in thy stead on thy throne, he doth build the house for My name.
Era, laba, nsuubira okuzimbira Erinnya lya Mukama Katonda wange yeekaalu, nga Mukama bwe yagamba Dawudi kitange, bwe yayogera nti, ‘Mutabani wo gwe nditeeka ku ntebe ey’obwakabaka mu kifo kyo, yalizimbira Erinnya lyange yeekaalu.’
6 'And now, command, and they cut down for me cedars out of Lebanon, and my servants are with thy servants, and the hire of thy servants I give to thee according to all that thou sayest, for thou hast known that there is not among us a man acquainted with cutting wood, like the Sidonians.'
“Noolwekyo lagira basajja bo bantemere emivule gya Lebanooni. Abaddu bange banaakoleranga wamu n’abaddu bo, era nakuweerezanga empeera yonna, gy’olinsaba olw’abaddu bo. Omanyi nga ku ffe tekuli n’omu alina magezi kutema miti okwenkana ab’e Sidoni.”
7 And it cometh to pass at Hiram's hearing the words of Solomon, that he rejoiceth exceedingly, and saith, 'Blessed [is] Jehovah to-day, who hath given to David a wise son over this numerous people.'
Awo Kiramu bwe yawulira obubaka bwa Sulemaani, n’asanyuka nnyo era n’ayogera nti, “Mukama yeebazibwe, kubanga awadde Dawudi omwana ow’amagezi okufuga eggwanga lino eddene.”
8 And Hiram sendeth unto Solomon, saying, I have heard that which thou hast sent unto me, I do all thy desire concerning cedar-wood, and fir-wood,
Awo Kiramu n’atumira Sulemaani ng’ayogera nti, “Obubaka bwe wampeereza mbufunye, era nnaakola by’oyagala byonna eby’emiti egy’emivule n’emiti egy’emiberosi.
9 my servants bring down from Lebanon to the sea, and I make them floats in the sea unto the place that thou sendest unto me, and I have spread them out there; and thou dost take [them] up, and thou dost execute my desire, to give the food of my house.'
Basajja bange baligiggya mu Lebanooni ne bagiserengesa ku nnyanja, era ndigisengeka ng’ebitindiro okuyita ku nnyanja okugituusa mu kifo ky’olindaga. Nga gituuse eyo ndiragira ne bagisumulula, ne gikuweebwa. Kye njagala okolere ab’omu nnyumba yange, kwe kubawanga emmere.”
10 And Hiram is giving to Solomon cedar-trees, and fir-trees, all his desire,
Awo Kiramu n’awa Sulemaani emiti gy’emivule n’emiti egy’emiberosi nga bwe yayagala,
11 and Solomon hath given to Hiram twenty thousand cors of wheat, food for his house, and twenty cors of beaten oil; thus doth Solomon give to Hiram year by year.
ne Sulemaani n’amuwanga ebigero by’eŋŋaano kilo enkumi nnya mu bina eby’emmere ey’ennyumba ye, n’amafuta ag’omuzeeyituuni ebigero amakumi abiri, ze kilo nga bina mu ana buli mwaka. Kino Sulemaani yakikoleranga Kiramu buli mwaka.
12 And Jehovah hath given wisdom to Solomon as He spake to him, and there is peace between Hiram and Solomon, and they make a covenant both of them.
Mukama n’awa Sulemaani amagezi, nga bwe yamusuubiza. Ne waba emirembe wakati wa Kiramu ne Sulemaani, n’okulagaana ne balagaana endagaano bombi.
13 And king Solomon lifteth up a tribute out of all Israel, and the tribute is thirty thousand men,
Kabaka Sulemaani n’akuŋŋaanya abakozi mu Isirayiri yonna, ne bawera abasajja emitwalo esatu.
14 and he sendeth them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month, by changes, a month they are in Lebanon, two months in their own house; and Adoniram [is] over the tribute.
N’abaweerezanga e Lebanooni mu mpalo; buli luwalo nga lumala omwezi gumu e Lebanooni n’emyezi ebiri ewaabwe, era Adoniraamu ye yabavunaanyizibwanga.
15 And king Solomon hath seventy thousand bearing burdens, and eighty thousand hewing in the mountain,
Sulemaani yalina abantu emitwalo musanvu abaasitulanga emigugu, n’emitwalo munaana abaatemanga amayinja ku nsozi,
16 apart from the heads of the officers of Solomon, who [are] over the work, three thousand and three hundred, those ruling over the people who are working in the business.
ate n’abaami be enkumi ssatu mu bisatu abaalabiriranga omulimu n’okulagirira abakozi.
17 And the king commandeth, and they bring great stones, precious stone, to lay the foundation of the house, hewn stones;
Kabaka n’alagira bateme amayinja amanene ddala nga bagaggya mu kirombe ky’amayinja ag’omuwendo, okuzimba emisingi gya yeekaalu n’amayinja amateme obulungi.
18 and the builders of Solomon, and the builders of Hiram, and the Giblites hew, and prepare the wood and the stones to build the house.
Abaweesi ba Sulemaani n’aba Kiramu, wamu n’abasajja ba Gebali ne balongoosa n’okutegeka ne bategeka emiti n’amayinja eby’okuzimba yeekaalu.
