Fiawo 1 9
1 Esi fia Solomo wu gbedoxɔ la kple fiasã la kple xɔ bubu siwo wòɖo be yeatu nu la,
When Salomon had finished the building of the house of ye Lord, and the kings palace, and all that Salomon desired and minded to do,
2 Yehowa gaɖe eɖokui fiae zi evelia abe ale si wòɖe eɖokui fiae zi gbãtɔ le Gibeon ene.
Then the Lord appeared vnto Salomon the second time, as he appeared vnto him at Gibeon.
3 Yehowa gblɔ nɛ be, “Mese wò gbedodoɖa kple wò kokoƒoƒowo; mekɔ gbedoxɔ si nètu la ŋu to nye ŋkɔ dada ɖe edzi me tegbetegbe. Nye ŋkuwo kple nye dzi anɔ afi ma ɣe sia ɣi.
And the Lord sayd vnto him, I haue heard thy prayer and thy supplication, that thou hast made before me: I haue halowed this house (which thou hast built) to put my Name there for euer, and mine eyes, and mine heart shall be there perpetually.
4 “Ne àzɔ le ŋkunye me, aɖi anukware kple dzimekɔkɔ kpakple dzɔdzɔenyenye abe fofowò David ene, eye nàwɔ nye seawo dzi, alé nye ɖoɖowo kple kɔnuwo me ɖe asi la,
And if thou wilt walke before mee (as Dauid thy father walked in purenesse of heart and in righteousnesse) to doe according to al that I haue commanded thee, and keepe my statutes, and my iudgements,
5 ekema mana wò fiaɖuƒe nali ke tegbee abe ale si medo ŋugbe na fofowò, David ene esi megblɔ nɛ be, ‘Viwòwo dometɔ ɖeka anɔ Israel ƒe fiazikpui dzi ɣe sia ɣi!’
Then will I stablish the throne of thy kingdome vpon Israel for euer, as I promised to Dauid thy father, saying, Thou shalt not want a man vpon the throne of Israel.
6 “Ke ne wò alo viwòwo miede megbe le ŋunye, eye miewɔ nye seawo kple ɖoɖo siwo mede asi na mi dzi o, eye mieyi ɖasubɔ mawu bubuwo hede ta agu na wo la,
But if ye and your children turne away from mee, and wil not keepe my commandements, and my statutes (which I haue set before you) but go and serue other gods, and worship them,
7 ekema makplɔ Israel dukɔ la adzoe le anyigba si metsɔ na wo la dzi. Maɖe wo le gbedoxɔ sia si ŋu mekɔ na nye ŋkɔ la me eye manya wo le nye ŋkuta. Israel azu hamelo kple alɔmeɖenu le dukɔwo katã dome.
Then will I cutte off Israel from the lande, which I haue giuen them, and the house which I haue halowed for my Name, will I cast out of my sight, and Israel shall be a prouerbe, and a common talke among all people.
8 Gbedoxɔ sia azu xɔ gbagbã si ƒe xɔtunuwo woali kɔe ɖi eye ame sia ame si ava tso eme yina la ƒe nu aku eye wòaɖu fewu agblɔ be, ‘Nu ka ta Yehowa wɔ nu siawo ɖe anyigba sia kple gbedoxɔ sia ŋu?’
Euen this hie house shall bee so: euery one that passeth by it, shalbe astonied, and shall hisse, and they shall say, Why hath the Lord done thus vnto this land and to this house?
9 Eye ŋuɖoɖo la anye, ‘Elabena woɖe asi le Yehowa, woƒe Mawu, si kplɔ wo fofowo tso Egiptenyigba dzi la ŋu eye wosubɔ mawu bubuwo ɖe eteƒe. Nu sia tae Yehowa he dzɔgbevɔ̃e sia va wo dzi ɖo.’”
And they shall answere, Because they forsooke the Lord their God, which brought their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and haue taken holde vpon other gods, and haue worshipped them, and serued them, therfore hath the Lord brought vpon them all this euill.
10 Le ƒe blaeve megbe esi Solomo tu xɔ eve siawo: gbedoxɔ la kple eƒe fiasã la vɔ la,
And at the ende of twentie yeeres, when Salomon had buylded the two houses, the house of the Lord, and the Kings palace,
11 Fia Solomo tsɔ du blaeve le Galilea na Hiram, Tiro fia elabena Hiram tsɔ sedatiwo kple sesewutiwo kple sika siwo katã wohiã la nɛ.
(For the which Hiram the King of Tyrus had brought to Salomon timber of cedar, and firre trees, and golde, and whatsoeuer he desired) then King Salomon gaue to Hiram twentie cities in the land of Galil.
12 Ke esi Hiram tso Tiro yi ɖakpɔ du siwo Solomo tsɔ nɛ la, duawo medze eŋu o.
And Hiram came out from Tyrus to see the cities which Salomon had giuen him, and they pleased him not.
13 Ebia Fia Solomo be, “Nɔvinye, du ka ƒomeviwoe nye esiawo nènam? Etsɔ ŋkɔ na duawo be ‘Kabul’ si gɔmee nye, ‘Menyo na naneke o.’”
Therefore hee sayde, What cities are these which thou hast giuen me, my brother? And hee called them the land of Cabul vnto this day.
14 Fia Hiram ɖo sika si ƒe kpekpeme nye kilogram akpe ene alafa etɔ̃ la ɖe fia la.
And Hiram had sent the King sixe score talents of gold.
15 Fia Solomo zi amewo dzi wotu gbedoxɔ, fiasã, Milo mɔ, Yerusalem ƒe gliwo kple Hazor, Megido kple Gezer duwo katã.
And this is the cause of the tribute why King Salomon raised tribute, to wit, to builde the house of the Lord, and his owne house, and Millo, and the wall of Ierusalem, and Hazor, and Megiddo, and Gezer.
16 Gezer nye du si Egipte fia xɔ, tɔ dzoe eye wòwu Israelvi siwo katã nɔ eme. Emegbe la, etsɔ du sia na via nyɔnu si nye Fia Solomo srɔ̃wo dometɔ ɖeka la, abe srɔ̃ɖenunana ene.
Pharaoh King of Egypt had come vp, and taken Gezer, and burnt it with fire, and slew the Canaanites, that dwelt in the citie, and gaue it for a present vnto his daughter Salomons wife.
17 Solomo gbugbɔ Gezer kple Bet Horon anyigbetɔ,
(Therefore Salomon builte Gezer and Beth-horon the nether,
18 Baalat kple Tadmɔ siwo nye gbegbe le eƒe anyigba dzi la tu.
And Baalath and Tamor in the wildernes of the land,
19 Egatu du bubuwo, ɖewo nye nuɖuɖudzraɖoƒewo eye bubuwo nye tasiaɖamwo ƒe du, sɔdolawo ƒe du, hekpe ɖe xɔ siwo katã dzroe la ɖe Yerusalem kple Lebanon kple teƒe bubu vovovowo le anyigba si dzi wònye fia ɖo la.
And all the cities of store, that Salomon had, euen cities for charets, and cities for horsemen, and all that Salomon desired and woulde build in Ierusalem, and in Lebanon and in all the land of his dominion)
20 Ame siwo katã susɔ tso Amoritɔwo, Hititɔwo, Perizitɔwo, Hivitɔwo kple Yebusitɔwo dome (ame siwo menye Israelviwo o).
Al the people that were left of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hiuites, and Iebusites, which were not of the children of Israel:
21 Woawoe nye ame siwo nɔ anyigba la dzi tsã ƒe dzidzimeviwo, ame siwo Israelviwo metsrɔ̃ o la. Fia Solomo na wowɔ dɔ abe kluviwo ene abe ale si wòle va se ɖe egbe ene.
To wit, their children that were left after them in the lande, whome the children of Israel were not able to destroy, those did Salomon make tributaries vnto this day.
22 Solomo metsɔ Israelviwo wɔ kluviwo o, ke boŋ wozu asrafowo, dɔnunɔlawo, asrafomegãwo, aʋafiawo, tasiaɖamkulawo dzikpɔlawo kple sɔdolawo hã.
But of the children of Israel did Salomon make no bondmen: but they were men of warre and his seruants, and his princes, and his captaines, and rulers of his charets and his horsemen.
23 Israelvi alafa atɔ̃ blaatɔ̃ nye ame siwo nye dzizizidɔwɔlawo dzi kpɔlawo.
These were the princes of the officers, that were ouer Salomons worke: euen fiue hundreth and fiftie, and they ruled the people that wrought in the worke.
24 Fia Solomo ɖe Farao ƒe vinyɔnu tso David ƒe du ƒe afi si nye Yerusalem ƒe akpa xoxotɔ la me yi xɔ yeye si wòtu nɛ le fiasã me la me. Emegbe la, etu Milo mɔ la hã.
And Pharaohs daughter came vp from the citie of Dauid vnto the house which Salomon had built for her: then did he buylde Millo.
25 Esi wowu gbedoxɔ la tutu nu la, Solomo sa numevɔ kple akpedavɔ zi etɔ̃ ƒe sia ƒe le vɔsamlekpui si wòtu na Yehowa la dzi eye wòdo dzudzɔ ʋeʋĩ hã le edzi le Yehowa ŋkume.
And thrise a yere did Salomon offer burnt offringes and peace offrings vpon the altar which he built vnto the Lord: and hee burnt incense vpon the altar that was before the Lord, when hee had finished the house.
26 Fia Solomo na wokpa tɔdziʋuwo hã ɖe Ezion Geber si le Elat gbɔ le Ƒu Dzĩ la ta le Edomnyigba dzi.
Also King Salomon made a nauie of ships in Ezeon-geber, which is beside Eloth, and the brinke of the red Sea, in the land of Edom.
27 Hiram ɖo eƒe ame siwo nye ƒudzidɔwɔlawo eye wonya nu tso atsiaƒu ŋu nyuie la ɖa be woawɔ dɔ kple Solomo ƒe amewo le tɔdziʋuawo me.
And Hiram sent with the nauie his seruats, that were mariners, and had knowledge of the sea, with the seruants of Salomon.
28 Wode Ofir eye wotsɔ sika kilogram akpe wuiatɔ̃ alafa ɖeka blaeve vɛ na Fia Solomo.
And they came to Ophir and sette from thence foure hundreth and twentie talents of gold, and brought it to King Salomon.
