< I Na Lii 5 >

1 HOOUNA mai la o Hirama ke alii o Turo i kaua mau kauwa io Solomona la, no ka mea, ua lohe oia i ko lakou poni ana ia ia i alii ma ka hakahaka o kona makuakane; no ka mea, he hoaaloha mau o Hirama no Davida.
Now Hiram, king of Tyre, hearing that Solomon had been made king in place of his father, sent his servants to him; for Hiram had ever been a friend to David.
2 Hoouna aku la hoi o Solomona io Hirama la, i aku la,
And Solomon sent back word to Hiram, saying,
3 Ua ike no oe i ko'u makuakane ia Davida aole i hiki ia ia ke kukulu i ka hale no ka inoa o Iehova kona Akua, no ua kaua e puni ana ia ia ma na aoao a pau, a hiki i ka manawa i waiho iho ai ke Akua ia lakou malalo ae o kona mau kapuwai
You have knowledge that David my father was not able to make a house for the name of the Lord his God, because of the wars which were round him on every side, till the Lord put all those who were against him under his feet.
4 Aka, ano la, ua haawi mai nei Iehova ko'u Akua i ka maha a puni, i ole he mea ku e, aole hoi mea e popilikia ai.
But now the Lord my God has given me rest on every side; no one is making trouble, and no evil is taking place.
5 Eia no hoi, ke manao nei au e kukulu i ka hale no ka inoa o Iehova ko'u Akua, mamuli o ka Iehova i olelo mai ai ia Davida ko'u makuakane, i ka i ana mai, O kau keiki au e hoonoho ai maluna o kou nohoalii ma kou wahi, oia ke hana mai i hale no ko'u inoa.
And so it is my purpose to make a house for the name of the Lord my God, as he said to David my father, Your son, whom I will make king in your place, will be the builder of a house for my name.
6 Ano hoi e kauoha ae oe e kalai lakou i mau laau kedera no'u, mai Lebanona mai; a o ka'u poe kauwa kekahi pu me kau poe kauwa; a e uku aku wau ia oe no kau poe kauwa e like me kau olelo a pau; no ka mea, ua ike oe, aohe mea iwaena o makou e akamai i ke kalai laau e like me ko Sidona.
So now, will you have cedar-trees from Lebanon cut down for me, and my servants will be with your servants; and I will give you payment for your servants at whatever rate you say; for it is common knowledge that we have no such wood-cutters among us as the men of Zidon.
7 Eia kekahi, i ka lohe ana o Hirama i na olelo a Solomona, olioli nui ae la ia, i iho la hoi ia, E hoomaikaiia o Iehova i keia la, ka mea i haawi mai ia Davida i keiki naauao maluna o keia lahuikanaka nui.
And these words of Solomon made Hiram glad, and he said, Now may the Lord be praised who has given to David a wise son to be king over this great people.
8 Hoouna mai la o Hirama io Solomona la, i mai la, Ua noonoo ae nei au i na mea au i kauleo mai ai ia'u; a e hana no wau i kau mea e makemake ai a pau i na laau kedera a me na laau kaa.
Then Hiram sent to Solomon, saying; The words you sent have been given to me: I will do all your desire in the question of cedar-wood and cypress-wood.
9 E lawe ae ka'u poe kauwa mai Lebanona ae a kahakai; a na'u no e alo aku ia mau mea ma ke kai, ma na huina laau lana, i kahi au i hoomaopopo mai ai, a e hoopae aku au ia lakou malaila, a e lawe ae oe; a e hooko ae i ko'u makemake i ka haawi ana mai i ka ai na ko ka hale o'u.
My men will take them down from Lebanon to the sea, where I will have them corded together to go by sea to whatever place you say, and I will have them cut up there so that you may take them away; as for payment, it will be enough if you give me food for my people.
10 Pela i haawi mai ai o Hirama i na laau kedera a me na laau kaa e like me kona makemake a pau.
So Hiram gave Solomon all the cedar-wood and cypress-wood he had need of;
11 A haawi aku la o Solomona ia Hirama i na kora hua palaoa he iwakalua tausani i ai na ko kona hale, a me na kora aila maemae he iwakalua. Pela i haawi ai o Solomona ia Hirama i kela makahiki keia makahiki.
And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand measures of grain, as food for his people, and twenty measures of clear oil; this he did every year.
12 Haawi mai la hoi o Iehova i ka naauao ia Solomona e like me kana olelo hoopomaikai ia ia: a he kuikahi like ko Hirama me Solomona, a hana pu iho la laua i berita.
Now the Lord had given Solomon wisdom, as he had said to him; and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and they made an agreement together.
13 A auhau ae la o Solomona ke alii i ka Iseraela a pau, a o ka auhau he kanakolu tausani kanaka.
Then King Solomon got together men for the forced work through all Israel, thirty thousand men in number;
14 Hoouna aku la oia ia lakou i Lebanona he umi tausani i ka malama, ma na papa; hookahi malama i noho ai lakou ma Lebanona, a elua malama i noho ai lakou ma ko lakou mau hale iho; a o Adonirama maluna o keia auhau.
And sent them to Lebanon in bands of ten thousand every month: for a month they were working in Lebanon and for two months in their country, and Adoniram was in control of them.
15 Ia Solomona he kanahiku tausani kanaka halihali i na mea hali, a he kanawalu tausani mea kalai ma na kuahiwi.
Then he had seventy thousand for the work of transport, and eighty thousand stone-cutters in the mountains;
16 Okoa na luna nui o ko Solomona mau luna, na mea maluna o ka hana, ekolu tausani me na haneri ekolu o na luna i hooponopono i na kanaka e hana ana i ka hana.
In addition to the chiefs of the responsible men put by Solomon to oversee the work, three thousand and three hundred in authority over the workmen.
17 Kauoha mai la ke alii, a lawe mai la lakou i na pohaku nui, na pohaku he nui ke kumukuai, na pohaku kalaiia e hoonoho iho i ke kumu o ka hale.
By the king's orders great stones, stones of high price, were cut out, so that the base of the house might be made of squared stone.
18 Na ko Solomona poe hanahale, a me ko Hirama poe hanahale i kalai, a me ko Gibela. Pela lakou i hoomakaukau ai i na laau a me na pohaku e hana'ku ai i ka hale.
Solomon's builders and Hiram's builders did the work of cutting them, and put edges on them, and got the wood and the stone ready for the building of the house.
