1 Rĩrĩa Hiramu mũthamaki wa Turo aiguire atĩ Solomoni nĩaitĩrĩirio maguta agatuĩka mũthamaki handũ ha ithe Daudi-rĩ, agĩtũma ndungata ciake kũrĩ Solomoni, tondũ we nĩmatũire marĩ ũrata na Daudi.
And Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants unto Solomon; for he had heard that they had anointed him king in the room of his father: for Hiram was ever a lover of David.
2 Nake Solomoni agĩcookeria Hiramu ndũmĩrĩri ĩno:
And Solomon sent to Hiram, saying,
3 “Wee nĩũkũmenya atĩ tondũ wa mbaara iria ciothe cianakora baba, Daudi, ciumĩte mĩena yothe, we ndaahotire gwaka hekarũ ĩĩtanĩtio na Rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova Ngai wake, o nginya rĩrĩa Jehova aigire thũ ciake rungu rwa makinya make.
You know how that David my father could not build an house unto the name of the LORD his God for the wars which were about him on every side, until the LORD put them under the soles of his feet.
4 No rĩu Jehova Ngai wakwa nĩaheete ũhurũko mĩena yothe, na gũtirĩ na thũ kana ũgwati.
But now the LORD my God has given me rest on every side, so that there is neither adversary nor evil occurrence.
5 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩnduĩte atĩ nĩngwaka hekarũ ĩĩtanĩtio na Rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova Ngai wakwa, o ta ũrĩa Jehova eerire baba Daudi rĩrĩa oigire atĩrĩ, ‘Mũriũ waku ũrĩa ngaikarĩria gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene handũ haku-rĩ, nĩwe ũgaaka hekarũ ĩĩtanĩtio na Rĩĩtwa rĩakwa.’
And, behold, I purpose to build an house unto the name of the LORD my God, as the LORD spoke unto David my father, saying, Your son, whom I will set upon your throne in your room, he shall build an house unto my name.
6 “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio athana nĩguo ndemerwo mĩtarakwa ya Lebanoni. Andũ akwa nĩmarĩrutithanagia wĩra na andũ aku, na nĩndĩrĩkũrĩhaga mũcaara wa andũ aku o ta ũrĩa ũngiuga. Wee nĩũũĩ atĩ tũtirĩ na andũ marĩ na ũmenyo wa gwatũra mbaũ ta andũ a Sidoni.”
Now therefore command you that they hew me cedar trees out of Lebanon; and my servants shall be with your servants: and unto you will I give hire for your servants according to all that you shall appoint: for you know that there is not among us any that can skill to hew timber like unto the Sidonians.
7 Rĩrĩa Hiramu aiguire ndũmĩrĩri ya Solomoni, agĩkena mũno, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũmũthĩ Jehova arogoocwo, nĩgũkorwo nĩaheete Daudi mũriũ mũũgĩ wa gwatha rũrĩrĩ rũrũ rũnene.”
And it came to pass, when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly, and said, Blessed be the LORD this day, which has given unto David a wise son over this great people.
8 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Hiramu agĩtũmana kũrĩ Solomoni, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ: “Nĩnyiitĩte ndũmĩrĩri ĩrĩa wandũmĩire, na nĩngwĩka ũrĩa wothe ũkwenda harĩ kũrehithia mĩgogo ya mĩtarakwa na ya mĩthengera.
And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, I have considered the things which you sent to me for: and I will do all your desire concerning timber of cedar, and concerning timber of fir.
9 Andũ akwa nĩmekũmĩikũrũkia kuuma Lebanoni nginya iria-inĩ, na nĩngũmĩikũrũkia na iria yohanĩtio hamwe o nginya harĩa ũkuuga. Nĩngamĩohoranĩria hau, nawe ũmĩoe, ũthiĩ nayo. Nawe ũkĩĩhingĩrie wendi wakwa na ũndũ wa kũhe nyũmba yakwa ya ũthamaki irio.”
My servants shall bring them down from Lebanon unto the sea: and I will convey them by sea in rafts unto the place that you shall appoint me, and will cause them to be discharged there, and you shall receive them: and you shall accomplish my desire, in giving food for my household.
10 Ũguo nĩguo Hiramu aathiire na mbere gũtwarĩra Solomoni mĩgogo ya mĩtarakwa na ya mĩthengera ĩrĩa endaga.
So Hiram gave Solomon cedar trees and fir trees according to all his desire.
11 Nake Solomoni nĩaheaga Hiramu ngano ya kũrĩĩo gwake mũciĩ ya kori ngiri mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ, hamwe na mbathi ngiri mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ cia maguta ma mĩtamaiyũ mahihe wega. Solomoni agĩthiĩ na mbere gwĩka Hiramu ũguo mwaka o mwaka.
And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand measures of wheat for food to his household, and twenty measures of pure oil: thus gave Solomon to Hiram year by year.
12 Jehova nĩaheire Solomoni ũũgĩ, o ta ũrĩa aamwĩrĩire. Na gũkĩgĩa na thayũ gatagatĩ ka Hiramu na Solomoni, nao eerĩ magĩthondeka kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa ũiguano.
And the LORD gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him: and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon; and they two made a league together.
13 Mũthamaki Solomoni akĩandĩkithia aruti wĩra 30,000 na hinya kuuma Isiraeli guothe.
And king Solomon raised a levy out of all Israel; and the levy was thirty thousand men.
14 Aamatũmaga marĩ ikundi cia andũ ngiri ikũmi o mweri, mathiĩ ituanĩra rĩa wĩra kũu Lebanoni; nĩ ũndũ ũcio magaikaraga mweri ũmwe Lebanoni, na mĩeri ĩĩrĩ kwao mũciĩ. Adoniramu nĩwe warĩ mũrũgamĩrĩri wa andũ acio marutithagio wĩra na hinya.
And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by courses: a month they were in Lebanon, and two months at home: and Adoniram was over the levy.
15 Solomoni nĩ aarĩ na andũ 70,000 a gũkuua mĩrigo, na aicũhia a mahiga 80,000 kũu irĩma-inĩ,
And Solomon had threescore and ten thousand that bare burdens, and fourscore thousand hewers in the mountains;
16 o ũndũ ũmwe na anyabara 3,300 a kũrũgamĩrĩra wĩra ũcio, na magatongoria aruti acio a wĩra.
Beside the chief of Solomon's officers which were over the work, three thousand and three hundred, which ruled over the people that wrought in the work.
17 Mũthamaki agĩathana, nao makĩenja mahiga manene na mega, na maicũhĩtio marĩ ma gwaka mũthingi wa hekarũ.
And the king commanded, and they brought great stones, costly stones, and hewed stones, to lay the foundation of the house.
18 Mabundi ma Solomoni, na ma Hiramu, na andũ a Gebali, nĩmarengire na makĩhaarĩria mbaũ o na mahiga nĩ ũndũ wa gwaka hekarũ.
And Solomon's builders and Hiram's builders did hew them, and the Gibalites also: so they prepared timber and stones to build the house.
