Pirmā Ķēniņu 5
1 Un Hirams, Tirus ķēniņš, sūtīja savus kalpus pie Salamana. (Jo viņš bija dzirdējis, ka šo bija par ķēniņu svaidījuši viņa tēva vietā.) Jo Hirams Dāvidam bija draugs bijis visu mūžu.
Hiram, the king of Tyre [city], had always been a close friend of King David. When he heard that Solomon had been appointed to become the king after his father was no longer king, he sent some messengers to Solomon [to congratulate him].
2 Un Salamans sūtīja pie Hirama un sacīja:
Solomon [gave those messengers] this message to take back to Hiram:
3 Tu zini, ka mans tēvs Dāvids nevarēja namu uztaisīt Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, vārdam, to karu dēļ, kas viņam bija visapkārt, tiekams Tas Kungs tos lika apakš viņa kājām.
“You know that my father David [led his soldiers to] fight many wars against his enemies in the nearby countries. So he could not [arrange to] build a temple in which we [MTY] could worship Yahweh our God, until after Yahweh enabled [the Israeli army] to defeat [IDM] all his enemies.
4 Un nu Tas Kungs, mans Dievs, man devis mieru visapkārt, ka nav neviena pretinieka nedz cita ļauna kavēkļa.
But now Yahweh our God has enabled us to have peace with all the surrounding countries. [(There is no danger that/We do not need to worry that)] we will be attacked.
5 Un redzi, es domāju uztaisīt namu Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, vārdam, itin kā Tas Kungs uz manu tēvu Dāvidu runājis un sacījis: tavs dēls, ko Es tavā vietā sēdināšu uz tavu goda krēslu, tas uztaisīs namu Manam vārdam.
Yahweh promised my father David, ‘Your son, whom I will enable to be king after you are no longer king, will build a temple for me [MTY].’ Because of that, I have decided to build a temple in which we can worship [MTY] Yahweh our God.
6 Tad nu pavēli, ka man cērt ciedru kokus no Lībanus, un mani kalpi būs ar taviem kalpiem, un to algu priekš taviem kalpiem es tev došu, tā kā tu saki; jo tu zini, ka pie mums neviena nav, kas kokus tā māk cirst kā Sidonieši.
“So [I am requesting that] you command your workers to cut cedar trees for me. My men will work with them, and I will pay your workers whatever you decide. [But] my men [cannot do the work alone, ] because they do not know how to cut down trees like your workers from Sidon [city] do.”
7 Un notikās, kad Hirams Salamana vārdus dzirdēja, tad viņš ļoti priecājās un sacīja: slavēts lai ir Tas Kungs šodien, kas Dāvidam gudru dēlu devis pār šo lielo tautu.
When Hiram heard the message from Solomon, he was very happy and said, “I praise Yahweh today for giving David a very wise son to rule that great nation!”
8 Un Hirams sūtīja pie Salamana un sacīja: es esmu dzirdējis, par ko tu pie manis sūtījis. Es darīšu visu tavu prātu ar tiem ciedru kokiem un tām priedēm.
He sent this message back to Solomon: “I have heard the message that you sent to me, and I am ready to do what you ask. I will provide cedar and cypress logs.
9 Maniem kalpiem tos no Lībanus būs novest jūrmalā, un es tos vedīšu ar plostiem pa jūru uz to vietu, ko tu man noteiksi, un es tos tur atraisīšu, ka tu tos vari aizvest. Tu arī darīsi manu prātu un dosi maizi priekš mana nama.
My workers will bring the logs down from [the] Lebanon [mountains] to the [Mediterranean] sea. Then they will [tie them together to] make rafts to float them [in the water] along the coast to the place that you indicate. Then my workers will untie the logs, and your workers will take them from there. What I want you to do is to supply food for the people who work in my palace.”
10 Tā Hirams Salamanam deva ciedru kokus un priedes, kā viņš pats gribēja.
So Hiram [arranged for his workers to] supply all the cedar and cypress logs that Solomon wanted.
11 Un Salamans Hiramam deva divdesmit tūkstoš koru kviešu maizei priekš viņa nama un divdesmit koru sagrūstas eļļas. To Salamans Hiramam deva ik gadus.
Each year Solomon gave Hiram 100,000 bushels of wheat and 110,000 gallons of pure [olive] oil to feed the people who worked in his palace.
12 Un Tas Kungs Salamanam deva gudrību, itin kā tam bija runājis. Un starp Hiramu un Salamanu bija miers, un tie abi derēja derību.
Yahweh enabled Solomon to be wise, just like he had promised. Solomon and Hiram made a treaty/agreement that there would be peace between their [two governments/countries].
13 Un ķēniņš Salamans uzlika darba klausību visam Israēlim, un to darbinieku bija trīsdesmit tūkstoš vīri.
King Solomon forced 30,000 men from all over Israel to become his workers.
14 Un viņš tos sūtīja uz Lībanu, pa desmit tūkstošiem ik mēnešus pēc kārtas; vienu mēnesi tie bija uz Lībanus un divus mēnešus tie bija mājās, un Adonirams bija uzraugs pār šiem darbiniekiem.
Adoniram was their boss. Solomon divided the men into three groups. Each month 10,000 of them went to Lebanon and worked for a month there, and then they came back home for two months.
15 Un Salamanam bija septiņdesmit tūkstoš nastu nesēji un astoņdesmit tūkstoš akmens cirtēji uz tā kalna,
Solomon also forced 80,000 men to cut stones in the hilly area and 70,000 men to haul the stones [to Jerusalem].
16 Bez tiem Salamana virsuzraugiem, kas pār šo darbu bija iecelti; to bija trīs tūkstoš un trīssimt, kas uzraudzīja tos ļaudis, kas to darbu darīja.
And he also assigned 3,600 men to supervise their work.
17 Un ķēniņš pavēlēja, lauzt lielus akmeņus, dārgus akmeņus, apcirstus akmeņus, tam namam likt pamatu.
The king also commanded his workers to cut huge blocks of stones from the quarries and to smooth the sides of the stones. Those huge stones were for the foundation of the temple.
18 Un Salamana amatnieki un Hirama amatnieki un Ģiblieši tos apcirta un apstrādāja tos kokus un tos akmeņus, to namu uztaisīt.
Solomon’s workers and Hiram’s workers and men from Gebal/Byblos [city] shaped the stones and prepared the timber to build the temple.
