1 Kva 9

1 Hagi Ra Anumzamofo mono none, agra'a nonema Solomoni'ma ki vaganereno, maka zama hugahuema hu'nea zamo'ma vagamaretegeno'a,

After Solomon’s [workers] had finished building the temple and his palace and everything else that Solomon wanted them to build,

2 Gibioni kumate'ma mani'negeno Ra Anumzamo'ma agrite'ma efore hu'neaza huno efore hu'ne.

Yahweh appeared to him [in a dream] a second time, like he had appeared to him at [the city of] Gibeon.

3 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a anage huno asami'ne, Mono nonku'ma nunamuma hanana Nagra antahi'noankino Nagri'ma mono'ma hunantesaza no me'nena maka knafina veamo'za Nagrira monora eme hunenantesage'na, maka knafina ama ana nonte navua kete'na mani'nena nagesa antahigahue.

Yahweh said to him, “I heard what you prayed and what you pleaded for me to do. I have set apart/dedicated this temple which your [workers] have built to be the place where people will worship me forever. I will always watch over it and protect it.

4 Hagi kagra negafa Deviti'ma hu'neaza hunka fatgo kavukva hunka kagu'a anteraminka, maka kema kasamua kea nevaririnka kasegeni'ane, trake'ni'ane amage'ma antesanke'na,

“And as for you, if you conduct your life as I want you to, like your father David did, and if you very sincerely obey all the statutes and laws that I have commanded you to obey,

5 maka zupa kagri nagapintike Israeli vahe kinia azeri fore hutere hugahue. Na'ankure negafa Devitina amanage hu'na huvempa hunte'noe. Kagri nagapintike Israeli vahe'mofo kinia manino vugahie hu'na hunte'noe.

I will do what I promised your father that I would do: I promised him that Israel would always be ruled by his descendants.

6 Hianagi kagrane kagripinti'ma forehu anante anante'ma hu'zama vanaza vahe'mo'za amama avaririo hu'nama nehua kasegene, tra kenema ovaririza atre'za ru anumzamofo ome nevariri'za mono'ma huntesazana,

“But if you or your descendants turn away from me and disobey the commands and decrees that I have given to you, and if you start to worship other gods,

7 Israeli vahera amama zami'noa mopafintira zamazeri vati atregahue. Ana nehu'na mono hunanteho hu'nama eri ruotge'ma hua mono nona atre'na namefi humigahue. Hagi Israeli vahera kiza zokago hu'zanknaza zamazeri tro ha'nena, kokankoka vahe'mo'za kizazokago ke huzmante'za zamagiza regahaze.

I will remove my Israeli people from the land that I have given to them. I will also abandon this temple that I have set apart/dedicated to be the place where people should worship me. Then people everywhere will despise [the people of] Israel and make fun of them.

8 Hagi ama avasase'ane mono nomo'a havizantfa hinkeno, kante'ma evanaza vahe'mo'za nege'za antri nehu'za, zamagena neru'za amanage hugahaze, nahigeno Ra Anumzamo'a ama mopane, ama mono nonena amanara hie hu'za hugahaze.

This temple will become a heap of ruins. Everyone who passes by will be astonished [when they see it], and they will be shocked and say, ‘Why has Yahweh done this to this land and to this temple?’

9 Hagi amanage hu'za kenona hugahaze, na'ankure Isipiti'ma zamagehe'mofoma zamavareno'ma e'nea Ra Anumzana zamagra atre'za, ru anumzantami nevaririza monora ome hunte'naze. E'ina hu'nazagu Ra Anumzamo'a amanahu hazenkea zami'ne hu'za hugahaze.

And other people will reply, ‘It happened because the Israeli people abandoned Yahweh their God, the one who brought their ancestors out of Egypt. They started to accept and worship other gods. And that is why Yahweh has caused them to experience all these disasters.’”

10 Hagi Solomoni'a 20'a kafufi mono none agra'a nonena kivagare'ne. Hagi ana nontrema ki vagamare'neana,

Solomon’s [workers] labored for 20 years to build the temple and the palace.

11 Tairi kini ne' Hiramu'a maka sida zafane saipresi zafane, golinena Solomoni'ma kema hiama'a amigeno ki'ne. Hagi ana'ma hirera kini ne' Solomoni'a 20'a rankumatmi Hiramuna Galili mopafina ami'ne.

Hiram, the king of Tyre had [arranged for his workers to] give Solomon all the cedar and pine [logs] and all the gold that he needed [for this work]. After it was all finished, King Solomon gave to Hiram 20 cities in the Galilee region.

12 Hianagi Hiramu'ma Tairi kumateti'ma eno Solomoni'ma ami'nea kumatmima eme negeno'a, musena osu'ne.

But when Hiram went from Tyre [to Galilee] to see the cities that Solomon had given to him, he was not pleased with them.

13 Ana nehuno amanage huno antahige'ne? Nenfuga nanknahu kumatmi namine? huno nehuno ana kuma'ma me'nea mopagura Kabulie (eri'zama'a omne'ne) huno agia antegeno, ana knareti'ma eno menima ehanati'neana ana mopagura Kabulie hu'za agi'a nehaze.

He said to Solomon, “My friend, those cities that you gave me are worthless!” So, that area is still called ‘Worthless’.

14 Hagi kna'amo'a 4'a tani agatere'nea goli Hiramu'a Solomonina atrentege'za eri'za e'naze.

Hiram paid Solomon only five tons of gold [for those cities].

15 Hagi ama'i Solomoni'ma eri'za vahe'ma zamavarege'za Ra Anumzamofo none, agri none negi'za Jerusalemi kuma'ma tami'nea kaziga mopa kate'za ante avite'nente'za, Jerusalemi kuma'mofone Hazori kumamofone, Megido kuma'mofone Gezeri kuma keginama hu'naza zamofo naneke.

This is a record of the work that King Solomon forced men to do. He forced them to build the temple and his palace and the terraces/landfills [on the east side of the city], and the wall around Jerusalem, and [to rebuild the cities of] Hazor and Megiddo and Gezer.

16 Na'ankure Isipi kini ne' Fero'a Gaza kumate vahe ha' eme huzmanteno kina hunezmanteno, Kenani vahera rama'a nezamaheno, kumazmia teve taginte'ne. Hagi mofa'amo'ma Solomoninte nemaregeno'a, e'i ana kumara muse'za mofa'amofo ami'ne.

[The reason they needed to rebuild Gezer was that the army of] the king of Egypt had attacked Gezer and captured it. Then they had burned [the houses in] the city and killed all the people of the Canaan people-group who lived there. The king of Egypt gave that city to his daughter as a gift when she married Solomon.

17 Ana higeno Solomoni'a Gezeri kumara eriso'e hu'ne. Hagi ana nehuno fenka kaziga Bet-horoni kuma'ene,

So Solomon’s workers also rebuilt Gezer, and they also rebuilt Lower Beth-Horon [city].

18 Ba'alati kuma'ene tro nehuno, Juda ka'ma kokampina Tamari kumara tro hu'ne.

They also rebuilt Baalath and Tamar [towns] in the desert in [the southern part of] Judah.

19 Hagi Solomoni'a maka karisiramima antesia kuma'ane, hosi afutmima antesia kuma'ane, mago'a zantmi antesia kumatmina Jerusalemine, Lebanonine maka agrama kegavama hu'nea mopafi tro hu'ne.

They also built cities where they kept the supplies for Solomon, the places where his horses and chariots were kept. They also built everything else that Solomon wanted them to build, in Jerusalem and in Lebanon, and in other places in the area over which he ruled.

20 Hagi Israeli mopafina mago'a Amori vahe'ene Hiti vahe'ene Perizi vahe'ene Hivi vahe'ene Jebusi vahe'enena mani'naze.

There were many people who belonged to the Amor people-group, the Heth people-group, the Periz people-group, the Hiv people-group, and the Jebus people-group who were not killed when the Israelis captured their land.

21 Hagi e'ina vahetamina Israeli vahe'mo'zama zamahe hanama osu'naza vahe'tmimofo zamagehemo'ze. Hagi Solomoni'a e'ina vahetmina zamavarege'za, agri kazokazo eri'za vahe manine'za eri'zana erime e'za menina ehanati'naze.

[Their descendants still lived in Israel]. It was those people whom Solomon forced to become his slaves [to build all those places], and they are still slaves.

22 Hianagi Solomoni'a magore huno Israeli vahera zamavarege'za kazokazo eri'zana e'ori'naze. Hagi sondia vahetmima, kva vahe'tmima, sondia vahete vugota kva vahetmima, karisima eri'za ha'ma nehaza vahete kva vahetmima, hosi afutmima eri'za ha'ma hu vahe'tmina Israeli vahera zamazeri oti'ne.

But Solomon did not force any Israeli people to become slaves. Some Israelis became soldiers and army officers and commanders and drivers of his chariots and soldiers who rode on horses.

23 Hagi 5 hantret 50'a vugota kva vahe'tmi Solomoni'a huzmantege'za eri'za vahetera vugota hu'za kva huzmante'ne'za, eri'zankea ana vahetamina huzmante'naze.

There were 550 officials who supervised the slaves who worked [to build all those places].

24 Hianagi Fero mofa'ma Solomoni nenaro'a Deviti rankumara atreno, Solomoni'ma kintea nompi umani'ne. Hagi Solomoni'a Jerusalemi kuma'ma tami'nea kaziga eri'za vahe'agu hige'za, mopa kafi'za atre'za eri agupo tro hu'naze.

After [Solomon’s wife, who was] the daughter of the king of Egypt, moved from [the place outside Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’ to the palace that Solomon’s workers built for her, Solomon [told his workers to] fill in the slopes on the east side of the city.

25 Hagi Ra Anumzamofo kresramna vu itama tro'ma huntetera mago kafumofo agu'afina Solomoni'a 3'a zupa kre fananehu ofane, arimpa fru ofanena nehuno, anahukna huno mnanentake'zana Ra Anumzamofontega kremna vu'ne. Ana nehuno mono nona ki vagare'ne.

Three times each year Solomon [brought to the temple] offerings that were completely burned [on the altar] and offerings to restore fellowship with Yahweh. He also brought incense to be burned in the presence of Yahweh. And so his men finished building the temple.

26 Hagi ana huteno kini ne' Solomoni'a Edomu mopafina Eloti kuma tava'onte, Koranke hageri ankena, Ezion-gebe kumatera rama'a venterami tro hunte'ne.

King Solomon’s [workers] also built a fleet of ships at Ezion-Geber [city], which is near Elath [city], on the shore of the Gulf of Aqaba, in the land belonging to the Edom people-group.

27 Hagi kini ne' Hiramu'a ventema erino vanoma hu'ama antahini'ma hu'naza eri'za vahe'a huzmantege'za Solomoni eri'za vahe'tamine ventefi erizana ome eri'naze.

[King] Hiram sent some very expert sailors to work on the ships with Solomon’s workers.

28 Hagi ana vahe'mo'za vente eri'za Ofiri moparega hagerimpi vu'za kna'amo'a 16ni'a tani hu'nea goli omeri'za Solomonina eme ami'naze.

They sailed to [the] Ophir [region] and brought back to Solomon about 16 tons of gold.
