< 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.
Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants to Solomon for he had heard that they had anointed him king in place of his father; for Hiram had always loved David.
2 Hoouna aku la hoi o Solomona io Hirama la, i aku la,
Solomon sent 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 know that David my father could not build a house for the name of Yahweh his God because of the wars that surrounded him, for during his lifetime Yahweh was putting his enemies under the soles of 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, Yahweh my God has given me rest on every side. There is neither adversary nor disaster.
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.
So I intend to build a temple for the name of Yahweh my God, as Yahweh spoke to David my father, saying, 'Your son, whom I will set on your throne in your place, will build the temple 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.
Now therefore command that they cut cedars from Lebanon for me. My servants will join your servants, and I will pay you for your servants so that you are paid fairly for everything you agreed to do. For you know there is no one among us who knows how to cut timber like the Sidonians.”
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.
When Hiram heard the words of Solomon, he rejoiced greatly and said, “May Yahweh be blessed today, who has given to David a wise son 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.
Hiram sent word to Solomon, saying, “I have heard the message that you have sent to me. I will provide all the wood of cedar and cypress that you desire.
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 servants will bring the trees down from Lebanon to the sea, and I will make them into rafts to go by sea to the place that you direct me. I will have them broken up there, and you will take them away. You will do what I desire by giving food for my household.”
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 timber of cedar and fir that he desired.
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.
Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand measures of wheat for food to his household and twenty measures of pure oil. Solomon gave this to Hiram year by 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.
Yahweh gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him. There was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and the two of them made a covenant.
13 A auhau ae la o Solomona ke alii i ka Iseraela a pau, a o ka auhau he kanakolu tausani kanaka.
King Solomon conscripted labor out of all Israel. The forced laborers numbered thirty thousand men.
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.
He sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month in shifts. One month they were in Lebanon and two months at home. Adoniram was over the men who were subjected to forced labor.
15 Ia Solomona he kanahiku tausani kanaka halihali i na mea hali, a he kanawalu tausani mea kalai ma na kuahiwi.
Solomon had seventy thousand who carried burdens and eighty thousand who were stonecutters 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.
besides Solomon's 3,300 chief officers who were over the work and who supervised the workers.
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.
At the king's command they quarried large stones of high quality with which to lay the foundation of the temple.
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.
So Solomon's builders and Hiram's builders and the Gebalites did the cutting and prepared the timber and the stones to build the temple.
