1 Hagi Solomoni'a Ra Anumzamofo agima erisgahu mono none, kinima mani'neno manisia noma'a kinaku antahintahi retro hu'ne.
Solomon ordered that a temple should be built where Yahweh would be worshiped and also that a palace should be built for himself.

He selected 70,000 men to carry the building supplies and 80,000 men to cut stones [(from quarries/walls of rock) in] the hills. He also chose 3,600 men to supervise them.
3 Hagi Tairi kumate kini ne' Hiramuntega amanage huno Solomoni'a kea atregeno vu'ne. Nenfa Deviti'ma noma kinogu'ma sida zafa'ma aza hu'nanaza hunka naza huo.
Solomon sent this message to King Hiram of Tyre [city]: “[Many years ago] when my father David was building his palace, you sent to him cedar logs. Will you send me cedar logs, too?
4 Hagi ko, Ra Anumzana Anumzani'amofo agima erisga hu nonki'na Agrite eri ruotge hanugeno, Agri avuga mnanentake'za frenkinsensia kremna nevu'za, maka kna zisti onte bretia eri'za ana nompi eme nente'za, kinaga nanterana tevefi kre fananehu ofa eme nehu'za, Sabati knare'ene, kasefa ikante'ene, mago'a knama Ra Anumzana tagri Anumzamo'ma hunte'nea knare'enena ne'zana eme kre'za nene'za musena hugahaze.

“We are about to build a temple where we will worship Yahweh our God. We want to dedicate it to be a place where we will burn fragrant incense to [honor] him, and a place to put loaves of sacred bread, and for making sacrifices every morning and every evening and every Sabbath day, and to celebrate on the day of every new moon and at other special religious festivals to [honor] Yahweh our God. We want to do those things forever, like Yahweh has commanded.
5 Hagi ama ana mono noma kisua nona konaririmo'a agatereno marerirfa no kigahue. Na'ankure tagri Anumzamo'a maka'a anumzatmina zmagatere'nea Anumza mani'ne.
[We want] this temple [to] be a great temple, because our God is greater than all other gods.
6 Hagi iza Anumzamofo nonkrerfa kintegara hu'ne? Monaramimo'a rankrerfa hu'neanagi anampina Anumzamofona avrentegara osu'ne. Hagi nagra iza'na Agri mono nona kigahue? Hagi mono noma kisuana, ofama Agritegama Kresramanama vanua no kigahue.
But no one can really build a temple that would be big enough for God [to live in], because even the highest heavens are not big enough for him. And I am worthy only to build a place where we can burn sacrifices to him.
7 Ana hu'negu golileti'ma, silvareti'ma, bronsiretima, ainireti'ma, fitunke'ene koranke'ene hokonke tavravere'enema eri'zama eri antahi'zama antahini'ma hu'naza vahe'ene, azanteti'ma antreno maka'zama tro'ma hu antahintahima eri'naza vahe'enena huzmantege'za e'za, Juda kumate'ene Jerusalemi kumate'ma keonke'zama tro hu'zama antahi ani'ma hu'nenia vahe Deviti'ma zamazeri retro'ma hunte'nea vahe'ene zamagra eri'zana emerigahaze.
Therefore, please send me a man who knows well how to make things from gold and silver and bronze and iron, and to make things from purple and red and blue cloth. He should also know well how to engrave designs. I want him to work in Jerusalem and in other places in Judah with my skilled craftsmen, the ones whom my father David appointed.

I know that your workers are skilled in cutting timber, so also please send me cedar logs, pine logs, and juniper logs from the Lebanon mountains. My workers will work with your workers.
9 ana zafaramina rama'a antagi'za eme namigahaze. Na'ankure ana noma kisuana konaririmo'a agaterene'nia no, ra nonkrerfa kigahue.
In that way, those workers will provide me with plenty of lumber. [We will need plenty, ] because I want the temple that we will build to be large and beautiful.
10 Hagi kagri eri'za vaheka'ane, zafama antagi vahetaminema nagrama mizama huzmantesuana, kna'amo'a 2tausen tani hu'nenia witine, 2tausen tani hu'nenia baline, 400tauseni'a lita hu'nenia wainine, 400tauseni'a lita hu'nenia olivi masavene zamigahue.
I will pay your workers, the men who cut the logs, 100,000 bushels of ground wheat, 100,000 bushels of barley, 110,000 gallons of wine, and 110,000 gallons of olive oil.”
11 Hagi Tairi kumate kini ne' Hiramu'a amanage huno Solomonintega avona kre atre'ne. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a vahe'agura zamavesinenteno zamagri kinia kagrira kazeri oti'ne.
[When] Hiram [received that message, he] replied by sending this message to Solomon: “Because Yahweh loves his people, he has appointed you to be their king.”
12 Hagi mago'ane Hiramu'a amanage hu'ne, Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe'mofo Anumzama monane mopanema tro'ma hu'nea Anumzamofo agi'a erisga hanune. Agra kini ne' Devitina knare antahi'zane mofavrea ami'ne. Ana ne' mofavrea knare antahi'zane, ama' antahi'zanena ami'neankino Ra Anumzamofo mono none, agrama kinima mani'nia nonena kigahie.
[And Hiram added, ] “Praise Yahweh, the God to whom the Israeli people belong, the one who created the sky and the earth! He has given King David a wise son, one who is very smart/intelligent and who has good skill and understanding. He wants to build a temple for Yahweh and a palace for himself.
13 Hagi maka eri'zama eri antahi'zama antahini'ma hu'nea ne' Huram-Abi nagra huntesugeno vugahie.
“I will be sending to you Huram-Abi, a man who is very skilled.
14 Hagi ana ne'mofo nerera'a Dani nagapinti Israeli are, hagi nefa'a Tairi kumateti ne' Hiram-Abikino golireti'ma, silvareti'ma, bronsireti'ma, ainireti'ma, havereti'ene zafareti'ene fitunke'ene koranke'ene hokonke tavravereti'ma eri'zama eri'zante'ma antahi ani' nehuno, havema taga huno vahe amema'ama tro'ma hu'ama antahi' ani hu'neankino, kagri eri'za vahe'ene, Deviti'ma zamazeri retroma huzmante'nea eri'za vahe'enena eri'zana erigahie.
His mother was from the tribe of Dan, and his father was from [here in] Tyre. He is very able to make things from gold and silver and bronze and iron and stone and wood, but he also makes nice things from purple and blue and red cloth, and he does all kinds of engraving. He can make things using any design/pattern that you give to him. He will work with your craftsmen, and the craftsmen who did work for your father, King David.
15 E'ina hu'negu witine, baline, olivi masavene waininena ranimoka kema hana kante antenka eri'za vaheka'amotarega atreranto.
“Now please send us the wheat and barley and olive oil and wine that you promised to send to us.
16 Hagi kagra inankna zafagu'ma hananana Lebanonitira antagita, ventefi erinteta avazu huta erita Jopa kumate e'nunketa, ananteti emerita Jerusalemia marerigahaze.
When you do that, my workers will cut from trees in the Lebanon mountains all the logs that you need [and bring them down to the sea]. Then we will [tie the logs together to] form rafts with them, and float them in the sea to Joppa [city]. From there, you [can arrange for] them [to be] taken up to Jerusalem.
17 Hagi nefa Deviti'ma vahe'ma hampri'neaza huno Solomoni'a ruregati'ma Israeli mopafima emani'naza vahe'ma maka hampri'neana, ana vahe'mofo nampamo'a 153tausen 600ti hu'ne.
Solomon told his workers to count all the people from other countries who were living in Israel, similar to what his father David had done. There were 153,600 of them.
18 Hanki havene zafaraminema eri'za esaza vahetamina 70tauseni'a huhampri nezmanteno, agonafinti'ma havema tagahu'za eri fatgoma hu vahetmina 80tauseni'a huhampri nezmanteno, ana maka eri'za vahetmima kegavama hu kva vahetmina 3tausen 600'a zamazeri oti'ne.
Solomon assigned 70,000 of them to carry materials, and 80,000 to cut stone [from quarries in] the hills, and 3,600 of them to supervise the others and be sure that they worked steadily.
