1 Solomo ɖo be yeatu gbedoxɔ na Yehowa ƒe Ŋkɔ kple fiasã na eɖokui.
And Solomon says to build a house for the Name of YHWH, and a house for his kingdom,
2 Ehiã agbatsɔla akpe blaadre, kpekpala akpe blaenyi le toawo dzi kple dɔdzikpɔla akpe etɔ̃ alafa ade na dɔ sia wɔwɔ.
and Solomon numbers seventy thousand men bearing burden, and eighty thousand men hewing in the mountain, and three thousand and six hundred overseers over them.
3 Solomo dɔ ame ɖe Fia Hiram le Tiro be woagblɔ nɛ be, “Ɖo sedatikpo siwo tɔgbi nena fofonye David esime wònɔ eƒe fiasã tum la ƒe ɖewo nye hã.
And Solomon sends to Huram king of Tyre, saying, “When you have dealt with my father David, then you send cedars to him to build a house for him to dwell in;
4 Ke esusɔ vie madze gbedoxɔ aɖe tutu gɔme na Yehowa, nye Mawu la.

behold, I am building a house for the Name of my God YHWH, to sanctify [it] to Him, to make incense before Him, incense of spices, and a continual arrangement, and burnt-offerings at morning and at evening, at Sabbaths, and at new moons, and at appointed times of our God YHWH; this [is] on Israel for all time.
5 “Anye gbedoxɔ nyui aɖe elabena míaƒe Mawu la de ŋgɔ, elolo wu mawu bubu ɖe sia ɖe.
And the house that I am building [is] great, for our God [is] greater than all gods;

and who retains strength to build a house for Him, since the heavens, even the heavens of the heavens, do not contain Him? And who [am] I that I build a house for Him, except to make incense before Him?
7 “Eya ta ɖo aɖaŋudɔwɔla siwo wɔa sika, klosalo, gadzĩ kple gayibɔ ŋu dɔ kple avɔlɔ̃lawo be woawɔ aɖabɛ dzĩtɔ, ka dzĩ kple aɖabɛ blɔtɔ ŋu dɔ woakpe ɖe dɔwɔla siwo fofonye David tia da ɖi tso Yuda kple Yerusalem la ŋuti.
And now, send a wise man to me to work in gold, and in silver, and in bronze, and in iron, and in purple, and crimson, and blue, and knowing to engrave engravings with the wise men who [are] with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom my father David prepared;
8 “Hekpe ɖe esiawo ŋuti la, nàɖo sedatiwo, sesewutiwo kple papawutiwo tso Lebanon ƒe avewo me ɖem elabena ame aɖeke mede wò amewo nu le atitsotso me o. Maɖo nye amewo ɖa be woakpe ɖe wo ŋu.
and send to me cedar-trees, firs, and algums from Lebanon, for I have known that your servants know to cut down trees of Lebanon, and behold, my servants [are] with your servants,
9 Mehiã ati sɔ gbɔ elabena gbedoxɔ si tu ge megbɔna la alolo ŋutɔ eye wòanyo wu gbɔgblɔ.
even to prepare trees in abundance for me, for the house that I am building [is] great and wonderful.

And behold, I have given to your servants, to hewers, to those cutting the trees, twenty thousand cors of beaten wheat, and twenty thousand cors of barley, and twenty thousand baths of wine, and twenty thousand baths of oil.”
11 Tete Tiro fia Hiram ɖo eŋu na Fia Solomo be, “Yehowa lɔ̃ eƒe amewo eya ta wòtsɔ wò ɖo fiae ɖe wo nu!”
And Huram king of Tyre answers in writing, and sends [it] to Solomon: “In the love of YHWH for His people, He has set you [as] king over them.”
12 Hiram gagblɔ be, “Woayra Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la, ame si wɔ dziƒo kple anyigba, ame si tsɔ viŋutsu si wòna nunya kple gɔmesesee la na Fia David be wòatu Mawu ƒe gbedoxɔ kple fiasã na eɖokui.
And Huram says, “Blessed [is] YHWH, God of Israel, who made the heavens and the earth, who has given a wise son to David the king, knowing wisdom and understanding, who builds a house for YHWH, and a house for his kingdom.
13 “Mele aɖaŋudɔwɔlawo ƒe amegã aɖe, ame si nye Huram Abi, nunyala xɔŋkɔ aɖe la ɖom ɖe wò.
And now, I have sent a wise man having understanding, of [my] father Huram

(son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, and his father a man of Tyre), knowing to work in gold, and in silver, in bronze, in iron, in stones, and in wood, in purple, in blue, and in fine linen, and in crimson, and to engrave any engraving, and to devise any invention that is given to him, with your wise men, and the wise men of my lord, your father David.
15 “Eya ta ɖo lũ, ƒo, ami kple wain siwo ŋugbe nèdo la ɖe wò dɔla.
And now, the wheat, and the barley, the oil, and the wine, as my lord said, let him send to his servants,

and we cut trees out of Lebanon, according to all your need, and bring them to you—floats by sea, to Joppa, and you take them up to Jerusalem.”

And Solomon numbers all the men, the sojourners who [are] in the land of Israel, after the numbering with which his father David numbered them, and they are found [to be] one hundred and fifty thousand and three thousand and six hundred;
18 Etsɔ wo dometɔ akpe blaadre wɔ agbatetsɔlawo, ame akpe blaenyi wɔ atitsolawo eye wòtsɔ ame akpe etɔ̃ alafa ade wɔ dɔdzikpɔlawoe.
and he makes from them seventy thousand burden-bearers, and eighty thousand hewers in the mountain, and three thousand and six hundred overseers, to cause the people to work.
