1 Esi fia Solomo wu gbedoxɔ la kple fiasã la kple xɔ bubu siwo wòɖo be yeatu nu la,
And it cometh to pass, at Solomon's finishing to build the house of Jehovah, and the house of the king, and all the desire of Solomon that he delighted to do,
2 Yehowa gaɖe eɖokui fiae zi evelia abe ale si wòɖe eɖokui fiae zi gbãtɔ le Gibeon ene.
that Jehovah appeareth unto Solomon a second time, as He appeared unto him in 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 Jehovah saith unto him, 'I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication with which thou hast made supplication before Me; I have hallowed this house that thou hast built to put My name there — unto the age, and Mine eyes and My heart have been there all the days.
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 thou — if thou dost walk before Me as David thy father walked, in simplicity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded thee — My statutes and My judgments thou dost keep —
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 I have established the throne of thy kingdom over Israel — to the age, as I spake unto David thy father, saying, There is not cut off to thee a man from [being] on 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,
'If ye at all turn back — you and your sons — from after Me, and keep not My commands — My statutes, that I have set before you, and ye have gone and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to 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 I have cut off Israel from the face of the ground that I have given to them, and the house that I have hallowed for My name I send away from My presence, and Israel hath been for a simile and for a byword among all the peoples;
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?’
as to this house, [that] is high, every one passing by it is astonished, and hath hissed, and they have said, Wherefore hath Jehovah done thus to 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 have said, Because that they have forsaken Jehovah their God, who brought out their fathers from the land of Egypt, and they lay hold on other gods, and bow themselves to them, and serve them; therefore hath Jehovah brought in upon them all this evil.'
10 Le ƒe blaeve megbe esi Solomo tu xɔ eve siawo: gbedoxɔ la kple eƒe fiasã la vɔ la,
And it cometh to pass, at the end of twenty years, that Solomon hath built the two houses, the house of Jehovah, and the house of the king.
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.
Hiram king of Tyre hath assisted Solomon with cedar-trees, and with fir-trees, and with gold, according to all his desire; then doth king Solomon give to Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.
12 Ke esi Hiram tso Tiro yi ɖakpɔ du siwo Solomo tsɔ nɛ la, duawo medze eŋu o.
And Hiram cometh out from Tyre to see the cities that Solomon hath given to him, and they have not been right in his eyes,
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.’”
and he saith, 'What [are] these cities that thou hast given to me, my brother?' and one calleth them the land of Cabul unto this day.
14 Fia Hiram ɖo sika si ƒe kpekpeme nye kilogram akpe ene alafa etɔ̃ la ɖe fia la.
And Hiram sendeth to the king a hundred and twenty 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 matter of the tribute that king Solomon hath lifted up, to build the house of Jehovah, and his own house, and Millo, and the wall of Jerusalem, 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 hath gone up and doth capture Gezer, and doth burn it with fire, and the Canaanite who is dwelling in the city he hath slain, and giveth it [with] presents to his daughter, wife of Solomon.)
17 Solomo gbugbɔ Gezer kple Bet Horon anyigbetɔ,
And Solomon buildeth Gezer, and Beth-Horon the lower,
18 Baalat kple Tadmɔ siwo nye gbegbe le eƒe anyigba dzi la tu.
and Baalath, and Tadmor in the wilderness, in 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 stores that king Solomon hath, and the cities of the chariots, and the cities of the horsemen, and the desire of Solomon that he desired to build in Jerusalem, 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).
The whole of the people that is left of the Amorite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, who [are] not of the sons 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.
their sons who are left behind them in the land, whom the sons of Israel have not been able to devote — he hath even lifted up [on] them a tribute of service unto this day.
22 Solomo metsɔ Israelviwo wɔ kluviwo o, ke boŋ wozu asrafowo, dɔnunɔlawo, asrafomegãwo, aʋafiawo, tasiaɖamkulawo dzikpɔlawo kple sɔdolawo hã.
And out of the sons of Israel Solomon hath not appointed a servant, for they [are] the men of war, and his servants, and his heads, and his captains, and the heads of his chariots, and his horsemen.
23 Israelvi alafa atɔ̃ blaatɔ̃ nye ame siwo nye dzizizidɔwɔlawo dzi kpɔlawo.
These [are] the heads of the officers who [are] over the work of Solomon, fifty and five hundred, those ruling among the people who are labouring in the work.
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.
Only, the daughter of Pharaoh went up out of the city of David unto her house that [Solomon] built for her; then he built 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 Solomon caused to ascend, three times in a year, burnt-offerings and peace-offerings on the altar that he built to Jehovah, and he perfumed it with that which [is] before Jehovah, and 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.
And a navy hath king Solomon made in Ezion-Geber, that is beside Eloth, on the edge of the Sea of Suph, 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 sendeth in the navy his servants, shipmen knowing the sea, with servants of Solomon,
28 Wode Ofir eye wotsɔ sika kilogram akpe wuiatɔ̃ alafa ɖeka blaeve vɛ na Fia Solomo.
and they come in to Ophir and take thence gold, four hundred and twenty talents, and bring [it] in unto king Solomon.
