< Sie Tokosra 5 >

1 Tokosra Hiram lun acn Tyre el nuna mwet kawuk lal David, ac ke el lohng lah Solomon el aolul David, papa tumal, in tokosra, na el supwala mwet kacto aolyal nu yorol.
Now when Hiram king of Tyre heard that Solomon had been anointed king in his father’s place, he sent envoys to Solomon; for Hiram had always been a friend of David.
2 Na Solomon el supwala kas inge nu sel Hiram:
And Solomon relayed this message to Hiram:
3 “Kom etu lah ke sripen mweun puspis ma David, papa tumuk, el tuh oru lain mwet lokoalok in facl ma raunella, pwanang el tuh tia ku in musai sie lohm alu nu sin LEUM GOD lal, nwe ke na LEUM GOD El sang elan kutangla mwet lokoalok lal nukewa.
“As you are well aware, due to the wars waged on all sides against my father David, he could not build a house for the Name of the LORD his God until the LORD had put his enemies under his feet.
4 Tuh pa inge LEUM GOD luk El ase misla nu sik yurin mutunfacl su rauniyula. Wangin mwet lokoalok luk, pwanang wangin mwe fosrnga nu sik.
But now the LORD my God has given me rest on every side, and there is no adversary or crisis.
5 LEUM GOD El tuh wuleang nu sel David, papa tumuk, ac fahk, ‘Wen nutum, su nga ac fah srisrngiya in tokosra aol kom, pa ac fah musai sie tempul nu sik.’ Ac inge nga sulela nga in musaela tempul se inge tuh in iwen alu nu sin LEUM GOD luk.
So behold, I plan to build a house for the Name of the LORD my God, according to what the LORD said to my father David: ‘I will put your son on your throne in your place, and he will build the house for My Name.’
6 Ke ma inge, kom supwala mwet lom an nu Lebanon in pakiya kutu sak cedar ah luk. Mwet luk ac welulos orekma, ac nga ac moli mwet lom ingan ke lupa na kom fahk an. Kom etu lah mwet luk inge tia etu pakpuk sak oana mwet lom ingan.”
Now therefore, order that cedars of Lebanon be cut down for me. My servants will be with your servants, and I will pay your servants whatever wages you set, for you know that there are none among us as skilled in logging as the Sidonians.”
7 Hiram el arulana insewowo ke el lohng kas lal Solomon, ac el fahk, “Kaksakin LEUM GOD misenge ke El sang nu sel David wen na lalmwetmet se natul, in aolul tokosra fin mutunfacl lulap se ingan!”
When Hiram received Solomon’s message, he rejoiced greatly and said, “Blessed be the LORD this day! He has given David a wise son over this great people!”
8 Na Hiram el supwala kas inge nu sel Solomon: “Nga eis tari kas lom, ac nga akola in oru ma kom siyuk an. Nga ac srukak sak cedar ac sak pine.
Then Hiram sent a reply to Solomon, saying: “I have received your message; I will do all you desire regarding the cedar and cypress timber.
9 Mwet luk uh ac usya sak inge Lebanon lac nu wekof ah, ac kapreni nu sie in ku in pakinyuk nu ke acn kom sulela an. Fin sun acn ingan, na mwet luk uh ac tulalik ac mwet lom an fah fosrngakin. Ac nu sum, nga lungse kom in kite mwet luk inge mongo.”
My servants will haul the logs from Lebanon to the Sea, and I will float them as rafts by sea to the place you specify. There I will separate the logs, and you can take them away. And in exchange, you can meet my needs by providing my household with food.”
10 Ouinge Hiram el supwala nu sel Solomon sak cedar ac sak pine nukewa ma el enenu.
So Hiram provided Solomon with all the cedar and cypress timber he wanted,
11 Ac Solomon el sang nu sel Hiram million akosr paun in wheat, ac siofok singoul limekosr tausin gallon in oil in olive nasnas ke yac nukewa, in sang kite mwet lal.
and year after year Solomon would provide Hiram with 20,000 cors of wheat as food for his household, as well as 20,000 baths of pure olive oil.
12 LEUM GOD El sang lalmwetmet nu sel Solomon, oana ke El wuleang nu sel. Oasr misla inmasrlol Hiram ac Solomon, ac eltal orala sie wulela na ku inmasrloltal.
And the LORD gave Solomon wisdom, as He had promised him. There was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and the two of them made a treaty.
13 Tokosra Solomon el orani mukul tolngoul tausin liki acn Israel nufon elan kumakin ke sap ku lal,
Then King Solomon conscripted a labor force of 30,000 men from all Israel.
14 ac eisalang Adoniram elan mwet kol lalos. El kitalik mwet inge nu ke u tolu, mwet singoul tausin ke kais sie u, ac kais sie u inge ac muta in acn Lebanon ke malem se, ac malem luo in acn selos.
He sent them to Lebanon in monthly shifts of 10,000 men, so that they would spend one month in Lebanon and two months at home. And Adoniram was in charge of the forced labor.
15 Oasr pac mwet oalngoul tausin lal Solomon muta uten eol uh orekma ke tufahl eot, ac mwet itngoul tausin mwe utuk.
Solomon had 70,000 porters and 80,000 stonecutters in the mountains,
16 Solomon el srela mwet tolu tausin tolfoko in liyalosyang ac fahk ma elos in oru.
not including his 3,300 foremen who supervised the workers.
17 Ke sap lal Tokosra Solomon, elos taflela eot lulap na wowo nu ke pwelung in Tempul uh.
And the king commanded them to quarry large, costly stones to lay the foundation of the temple with dressed stones.
18 Mwet orekma lal Solomon ac Hiram, ac mwet su tuku liki siti Gebal, elos akoela pac eot ac ipinsak in musai Tempul.
So Solomon’s and Hiram’s builders, along with the Gebalites, quarried the stone and prepared the timber and stone for the construction of the temple.
