1 Bassekabaka 5
1 Awo Kiramu kabaka w’e Ttuulo bwe yawulira nga Sulemaani bamufuseeko amafuta okuba kabaka, ng’asikidde kitaawe Dawudi, n’atuma ababaka be eri Sulemaani, kubanga yali mukwano gwa Dawudi.
And Hiram King of Tyrus sent his seruants vnto Salomon, (for he had heard, that they had anoynted him King in the roume of his father) because Hiram had euer loued Dauid.
2 Sulemaani n’atumira Kiramu ng’ayogera nti,
Also Salomon sent to Hiram, saying,
3 “Omanyi nti, Olw’entalo ennyingi ezeetooloola Dawudi kitange, teyasobola kuzimbira linnya lya Mukama Katonda we yeekaalu, okutuusa Mukama lwe yamala okuteeka abalabe be wansi w’ebigere bye.
Thou knowest that Dauid my father could not build an house vnto the Name of the Lord his God, for the warres which were about him on euery side, vntill the Lord had put them vnder the soles of his feete.
4 Naye kaakano Mukama Katonda wange awadde Isirayiri yonna emirembe ku njuyi zonna, era tewakyali mulabe wadde akabi ak’engeri yonna.
But now the Lord my God hath giuen me rest on euery side, so that there is neither aduersarie, nor euill to resist.
5 Era, laba, nsuubira okuzimbira Erinnya lya Mukama Katonda wange yeekaalu, nga Mukama bwe yagamba Dawudi kitange, bwe yayogera nti, ‘Mutabani wo gwe nditeeka ku ntebe ey’obwakabaka mu kifo kyo, yalizimbira Erinnya lyange yeekaalu.’
And beholde, I purpose to build an house vnto ye Name of the Lord my God, as the Lord spake vnto Dauid my father, saying, Thy sonne, whom I wil set vpon thy throne for thee, he shall build an house vnto my Name.
6 “Noolwekyo lagira basajja bo bantemere emivule gya Lebanooni. Abaddu bange banaakoleranga wamu n’abaddu bo, era nakuweerezanga empeera yonna, gy’olinsaba olw’abaddu bo. Omanyi nga ku ffe tekuli n’omu alina magezi kutema miti okwenkana ab’e Sidoni.”
Now therefore commaund, that they hewe me cedar trees out of Lebanon, and my seruants shall be with thy seruants, and vnto thee will I giue the hire for thy seruants, according to all that thou shalt appoynt: for thou knowest that there are none among vs, that can hewe timber like vnto the Sidonians.
7 Awo Kiramu bwe yawulira obubaka bwa Sulemaani, n’asanyuka nnyo era n’ayogera nti, “Mukama yeebazibwe, kubanga awadde Dawudi omwana ow’amagezi okufuga eggwanga lino eddene.”
And when Hiram heard the wordes of Salomon, he reioyced greatly, and sayde, Blessed be the Lord this day, which hath giuen vnto Dauid a wise sonne ouer this mightie people.
8 Awo Kiramu n’atumira Sulemaani ng’ayogera nti, “Obubaka bwe wampeereza mbufunye, era nnaakola by’oyagala byonna eby’emiti egy’emivule n’emiti egy’emiberosi.
And Hiram sent to Salomon, saying, I haue considered the things, for the which thou sentest vnto me, and will accomplish all thy desire, concerning the cedar trees and firre trees.
9 Basajja bange baligiggya mu Lebanooni ne bagiserengesa ku nnyanja, era ndigisengeka ng’ebitindiro okuyita ku nnyanja okugituusa mu kifo ky’olindaga. Nga gituuse eyo ndiragira ne bagisumulula, ne gikuweebwa. Kye njagala okolere ab’omu nnyumba yange, kwe kubawanga emmere.”
My seruants shall bring them downe from Lebanon to the sea: and I will conuey them by sea in raftes vnto the place that thou shalt shew me, and wil cause them to be discharged there, and thou shalt receiue them: nowe thou shalt doe mee a pleasure to minister foode for my familie.
10 Awo Kiramu n’awa Sulemaani emiti gy’emivule n’emiti egy’emiberosi nga bwe yayagala,
So Hiram gaue Salomon cedar trees and firre trees, euen his full desire.
11 ne Sulemaani n’amuwanga ebigero by’eŋŋaano kilo enkumi nnya mu bina eby’emmere ey’ennyumba ye, n’amafuta ag’omuzeeyituuni ebigero amakumi abiri, ze kilo nga bina mu ana buli mwaka. Kino Sulemaani yakikoleranga Kiramu buli mwaka.
And Salomon gaue Hiram twentie thousand measures of wheate for foode to his householde, and twentie measures of beaten oyle. Thus much gaue Salomon to Hiram yere by yere.
12 Mukama n’awa Sulemaani amagezi, nga bwe yamusuubiza. Ne waba emirembe wakati wa Kiramu ne Sulemaani, n’okulagaana ne balagaana endagaano bombi.
And the Lord gaue Salomon wisedome as he promised him. And there was peace betweene Hiram and Salomon, and they two made a couenant.
13 Kabaka Sulemaani n’akuŋŋaanya abakozi mu Isirayiri yonna, ne bawera abasajja emitwalo esatu.
And King Salomon raised a summe out of all Israel, and the summe was thirtie thousand men:
14 N’abaweerezanga e Lebanooni mu mpalo; buli luwalo nga lumala omwezi gumu e Lebanooni n’emyezi ebiri ewaabwe, era Adoniraamu ye yabavunaanyizibwanga.
Whome he sent to Lebanon, ten thousand a moneth by course: they were a moneth in Lebanon, and two moneths at home. And Adoniram was ouer the summe.
15 Sulemaani yalina abantu emitwalo musanvu abaasitulanga emigugu, n’emitwalo munaana abaatemanga amayinja ku nsozi,
And Salomon had seuentie thousand that bare burdens, and fourescore thousand masons in the mountaine,
16 ate n’abaami be enkumi ssatu mu bisatu abaalabiriranga omulimu n’okulagirira abakozi.
Besides the princes, whome Salomon appoynted ouer the worke, euen three thousande and three hundreth, which ruled the people that wrought in the worke.
17 Kabaka n’alagira bateme amayinja amanene ddala nga bagaggya mu kirombe ky’amayinja ag’omuwendo, okuzimba emisingi gya yeekaalu n’amayinja amateme obulungi.
And the King commanded them, and they brought great stones and costly stones to make the foundation of the house, euen hewed stones.
18 Abaweesi ba Sulemaani n’aba Kiramu, wamu n’abasajja ba Gebali ne balongoosa n’okutegeka ne bategeka emiti n’amayinja eby’okuzimba yeekaalu.
And Salomons workemen, and the workemen of Hiram, and the masons hewed and prepared timber and stones for the buylding of the house.
