1 Athamaki 9
1 Rĩrĩa Solomoni aarĩkirie gwaka hekarũ ya Jehova o na nyũmba ya ũthamaki, na akĩhingia maũndũ marĩa mothe erirĩirie gwĩka-rĩ,
And it came to pass when Solomon had finished the building of the house of the Lord, and the king’s house, and all that he desired, and was pleased to do,
2 Jehova akĩmuumĩrĩra hĩndĩ ya keerĩ, o ta ũrĩa aamuumĩrĩire arĩ Gibeoni.
That the Lord appeared to him the second time, as he had appeared to him in Gabaon.
3 Jehova akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ: “Nĩnjiguĩte kũhooya na gũthaithana kũrĩa ũhooete ũrĩ mbere yakwa; nĩnyamũrĩte hekarũ ĩno, ĩrĩa wee wakĩte, nĩgeetha ndũme Rĩĩtwa rĩakwa rĩtũũre kuo nginya tene. Maitho makwa na ngoro yakwa nĩirĩkoragwo kuo hĩndĩ ciothe.
And the Lord said to him: I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication, which thou hast made before me: I have sanctified this house, which thou hast built, to put my name there for ever, and my eyes and my heart shall be there always.
4 “No wee mwene-rĩ, ũngĩthiiaga mbere yakwa na wĩhokeku wa ngoro na ũrũngĩrĩru ta ũrĩa thoguo Daudi ekaga, na wĩkage ũrĩa ngwathĩte, na ũmenyagĩrĩre kĩrĩra kĩa watho wakwa wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo na mawatho makwa-rĩ,
And if thou wilt walk before me, as thy father walked, in simplicity of heart, and in uprightness: and wilt do all that I have commanded thee, and wilt keep my ordinances and my judgments,
5 Nĩngahaanda gĩtĩ gĩaku kĩa ũnene thĩinĩ wa Isiraeli nginya tene, o ta ũrĩa nderĩire thoguo Daudi rĩrĩa ndoigire atĩrĩ, ‘Ndũkaaga mũndũ wa gũikarĩra gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene kĩa Isiraeli o naarĩ.’
I will establish the throne of thy kingdom over Israel for ever, as I promised David thy father, saying: There shall not fail a man of thy race upon the throne of Israel.
6 “No wee kana ariũ aku mũngĩkagarũrũka mũtigane na niĩ, na mwage kũmenyerera maathani na kĩrĩra kĩa watho wakwa wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo kĩrĩa niĩ ndĩmũheete na mũthiĩ mũgatungatĩre ngai ingĩ na mũcihooe-rĩ,
But if you and your children revolting shall turn away from following me, and will not keep my commandments, and my ceremonies, which I have set before you, but will go and worship strange gods, and adore them:
7 hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩngeheria andũ a Isiraeli bũrũri ũyũ ndĩmaheete na ndiganĩrie hekarũ ĩno nyamũrĩte ĩĩtanio na Rĩĩtwa rĩakwa. Bũrũri wa Isiraeli ũgaatuĩka wa kuunagwo thimo, na kĩndũ gĩa gũthekererwo nĩ andũ othe.
I will take away Israel from the face of the land which I have given them; and the temple which I have sanctified to my name, I will cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb, and a byword among all people.
8 Na o na gũtuĩka hekarũ ĩno nĩ ya kũgegania-rĩ, arĩa othe makaahĩtũkagĩra ho nĩmakamakaga na manyũrũrie moige atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmĩte Jehova eke bũrũri ũyũ na hekarũ ĩno ũndũ ta ũyũ?’
And this house shall be made an example of: every one that shall pass by it, shall be astonished, and shall hiss, and say: Why hath the Lord done thus to this land, and to this house:
9 Andũ nĩmagacookia moige atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ tondũ nĩmatiganĩirie Jehova Ngai wao, ũrĩa warutire maithe mao bũrũri wa Misiri, makahĩmbĩria ngai ingĩ, na magacihooya na magacitungatĩra; nĩkĩo Jehova amareehithĩirie mwanangĩko ũyũ wothe.’”
And they shall answer: Because they forsook the Lord their God, who brought their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and followed strange gods, and adored them, and worshipped them: therefore hath the Lord brought upon them all this evil.
10 Thuutha wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ, o ihinda rĩrĩa Solomoni aakire nyũmba icio cierĩ; na nĩcio hekarũ ya Jehova na nyũmba ya ũthamaki,
And when twenty years were ended after Solomon had built the two houses, that is, the house of the Lord, and the house of the king,
11 Mũthamaki Solomoni nĩaheire Hiramu mũthamaki wa Turo matũũra mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ kũu Galili, tondũ Hiramu nĩamũreheire mĩtarakwa yothe, na mĩthengera, na thahabu iria aabatairio nĩcio.
(Hiram the king of Tyre furnishing Solomon with cedar trees and fir trees, and gold according to all he had need of.) then Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.
12 No hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Hiramu ooimire Turo nĩguo akoone matũũra marĩa aaheetwo nĩ Solomoni, ndaakenirio nĩmo.
And Hiram came out of Tyre, to see the towns which Solomon had given him, and they pleased him not,
13 Nake akĩũria Solomoni atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wa baba, nĩ matũũra matariĩ atĩa maya ũũheete?” Akĩmatua Bũrũri wa Kabuli, na noguo metagwo o na ũmũthĩ.
And he said: Are these the cities which thou hast given me, brother? And he called them the land of Chabul, unto this day.
14 Na rĩrĩ, Hiramu nĩarĩkĩtie gũtũmĩra Mũthamaki Solomoni taranda igana rĩa mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ cia thahabu.
And Hiram sent to king Solomon a hundred and twenty talents of gold.
15 Ũyũ nĩguo ũhoro wa ũrĩa Mũthamaki Solomoni aarutithirie andũ wĩra na hinya matekwĩyendera wa gwaka hekarũ ya Jehova na nyũmba ya ũthamaki, na mbenji, na rũthingo rwa Jerusalemu, na Hazoru, na Megido, na Gezeru.
This is the sum of the expenses, which king Solomon offered to build the house of the Lord, and his own house, and Mello, and the wall of Jerusalem, and Heser, and Mageddo, and Gazer.
16 Firaũni mũthamaki wa Misiri nĩatharĩkĩire na akĩnyiita Gezeru. Agĩgũcina na mwaki, na akĩũraga andũ a Kaanani arĩa maatũũraga kuo, na agĩcooka agĩkũhe mwarĩ, mũtumia wa Solomoni, arĩ kĩheo kĩa ũhiki.
Pharao the king of Egypt came up and took Gazer, and burnt it with fire: and slew the Chanaanite that dwelt in the city, and gave it for a dowry to his daughter, Solomon’s wife.
17 Nake Solomoni agĩaka Gezeru rĩngĩ. Nĩaakire Bethi-Horoni ya mũhuro, na
So Solomon built: Gazer, and Beth-horon the nether,
18 Baalathu, na Tadimori rĩa werũ-inĩ, thĩinĩ wa bũrũri wake,
And Baalath, and Palmira in the land of the wilderness.
19 o na ningĩ nĩaakire matũũra manene ma kũiga indo ciake na matũũra ma ngaari ciake cia ita na ma mbarathi ciake, na kĩrĩa gĩothe eerirĩirie gwaka Jerusalemu, na Lebanoni, na bũrũri wothe ũrĩa aathanaga.
And all the towns that belonged to himself, and were not walled, he fortified, the cities also of the chariots, and the cities of the horsemen, and whatsoever he had a mind to build in Jerusalem, and in Libanus, and in all the land of his dominion.
20 Andũ othe arĩa maatigaire kuuma kũrĩ Aamori, na Ahiti, na Aperizi, na Ahivi, na Ajebusi (andũ acio matiarĩ andũ a Isiraeli),
All the people that were left of the Amorrhites, and Hethites, and Pherezites, and Hevites, and Jebusites, that are not of the children of Israel:
21 ũguo nĩ kuuga njiaro ciao iria ciatigarĩte bũrũri-inĩ, iria andũ a Isiraeli mataaniinĩte, acio nĩo maandĩkithirio nĩ Solomoni matuĩke ngombo ciake cia kũrutithio wĩra na hinya, na noguo gũtũire nginya ũmũthĩ.
Their children, that were left in the land, to wit, such as the children of Israel had not been able to destroy, Solomon made tributary unto this day.
22 No Solomoni ndaatuire mũndũ o na ũmwe wa Isiraeli ngombo; nĩo maarĩ andũ ake a kũrũa mbaara, na atongoria a thirikari yake, na anene ake, na atongoria a thigari, na aathi a ngaari cia ita, na atwari a cio.
But of the children of Israel Solomon made not any to be bondmen, but they were men of war, and his servants, and his princes, and captains, and overseers of the chariots and horses.
23 Ningĩ nĩ kwarĩ atongoria a anene 550 arĩa maarutithagia mawĩra mothe ma Solomoni na makarũgamĩrĩra aruti wĩra.
And there were five hundred and fifty chief officers set over all the works of Solomon, and they had people under them, and had charge over the appointed works.
24 Rĩrĩa mwarĩ wa Firaũni aambatire kuuma itũũra inene rĩa Daudi agĩthiĩ gũikara nyũmba ya ũthamaki ĩrĩa Solomoni aamwakĩire, hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩguo Solomoni aathondekire mbenji cia kũmĩnyiitĩrĩra.
And the daughter of Pharao came up out of the city of David to her house, which Solomon had built for her: then did he build Mello.
25 Solomoni aarutaga magongona ma njino na ma ũiguano kĩgongona-inĩ kĩrĩa aakĩire Jehova maita matatũ o mwaka, agacinaga ũbumba mbere ya Jehova hamwe namo, na nĩ ũndũ ũcio akahingia watho wa hekarũ.
Solomon also offered three times every year holocausts, and victims of peace offerings upon the altar which he had built to the Lord, and he burnt incense before the Lord: and the temple was finished.
26 Ningĩ Mũthamaki Solomoni agĩaka marikabu nyingĩ kũu Ezioni-Geberi, gũkuhĩ na Elothu kũu Edomu, hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia Iria Itune.
And king Solomon made a fleet in Asiongaber, which is by Ailath on the shore of the Red Sea in the land of Edom.
27 Nake Hiramu agĩtũma andũ ake, atwarithia a marikabu arĩa maamenyete ũhoro wa iria, nĩguo matungatage marikabu-inĩ marĩ na andũ a Solomoni.
And Hiram sent his servants in the fleet, sailors that had knowledge of the sea, with the servants of Solomon.
28 Magĩthiĩ nginya Ofiri, na makĩrehe taranda magana mana ma mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ cia thahabu, iria maatwarĩire Mũthamaki Solomoni.
And they came to Ophir, and they brought from thence to king Solomon four hundred and twenty talents of gold.
