1 Mpanjaka 5
1 Nirahe’ i Kirame, mpanjaka’ i Tsore mb’amy Selomò mb’eo o mpitoro’eo, ie nahajanjiñe t’ie norizañe ho mpanjaka handimbe an-drae’e; amy te nainai’e nimpirañetse amy Davide t’i Kirame.
Now Hiram, king of Tyre, hearing that Solomon had been made king in place of his father, sent his servants to him; for Hiram had ever been a friend to David.
2 Aa le nampihitrife’ i Selomò amy Kirame, ty hoe:
And Solomon sent back word to Hiram, saying,
3 Fohi’o te tsy nahafamboatse anjomba ho a i tahina’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ey t’i Davide raeko, ty amo hotakotake niariseho azeo ampara’ t’ie napo’ Iehovà ambane’ o lelam-pandia’eo.
You have knowledge that David my father was not able to make a house for the name of the Lord his God, because of the wars which were round him on every side, till the Lord put all those who were against him under his feet.
4 Fe tinolo’ Iehovà Andrianañahareko fitofàñe ty miariary ahy iaby henanekeo, amy t’ie tsy aman-drafelahy ndra raha mizo.
But now the Lord my God has given me rest on every side; no one is making trouble, and no evil is taking place.
5 Ingo, hoe ty volako, Handranjiako anjomba ty tahina’ Iehovà Andrianañahareko, ty amy tsinara’ Iehovà an-draeko Davidey, ty hoe: Ty ana’o hampiambesarako am-piambesa’o ty hamboatse anjomba ho ami’ty añarako.
And so it is my purpose to make a house for the name of the Lord my God, as he said to David my father, Your son, whom I will make king in your place, will be the builder of a house for my name.
6 Aa le lilio ty hamiràñe mendoraveñe e Lebanone ao, le hindre amo mpitoro’oo o mpitorokoo vaho hatoloko ama’o ho a o mpitoro’oo ty tambe toñone’o ho a iareo, ie fohi’o te tsy ama’ay ty mahafira hatae manahake o nte-Tsidoneo.
So now, will you have cedar-trees from Lebanon cut down for me, and my servants will be with your servants; and I will give you payment for your servants at whatever rate you say; for it is common knowledge that we have no such wood-cutters among us as the men of Zidon.
7 Ie jinanji’ i Kirame i saontsi’ i Selomòy le vata’e nirebeke vaho nanao ty hoe: Andriañeñe t’Iehovà henane zao, Ie nanolotse i Davide anake mahihitse hifeleke ondaty jabajaba retoañe.
And these words of Solomon made Hiram glad, and he said, Now may the Lord be praised who has given to David a wise son to be king over this great people.
8 Aa le nahitri’ i Kirame amy Selomò ty hoe: Fa tsinanoko i nañitrifa’o ahiy le hene hanoeko o satrien’ arofo’oo amo mendoraveñe naho haradrantoo.
Then Hiram sent to Solomon, saying; The words you sent have been given to me: I will do all your desire in the question of cedar-wood and cypress-wood.
9 Hazotso’ o mpitorokoo boake Lebanone pak’ an-driak’ añe izay; le hamboareko t’ie hihafo amy riakey handenà’ iereo mb’amy toetse hatoro’o ahio, naho hakatrak’ añe, vaho ho rambese’o; le ihe ty hañeneke i fañiriakoy te hamahana’o mahakama ty akibako.
My men will take them down from Lebanon to the sea, where I will have them corded together to go by sea to whatever place you say, and I will have them cut up there so that you may take them away; as for payment, it will be enough if you give me food for my people.
10 Aa le natolo’ i Kirame amy Selomò ze fonga mendoraveñe naho haradranto nipaia’e.
So Hiram gave Solomon all the cedar-wood and cypress-wood he had need of;
11 Natolo’ i Selomò amy Kirame ka ty vare-bolè ro’ale kore hamahana’e o añ’anjomba’eo, naho menake finofoke roapolo kore; izay ty natolo’ i Selomò amy Kirame taoñ’ an-taoñe.
And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand measures of grain, as food for his people, and twenty measures of clear oil; this he did every year.
12 Tinolo’ Iehovà hihitse t’i Selomò, ty amy nitsarae’e ama’ey le nifampilongo t’i Kirame naho i Selomò; vaho nifanao fañina.
Now the Lord had given Solomon wisdom, as he had said to him; and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and they made an agreement together.
13 Aa le hene nampitsatoha’ i Selomò haba t’Israele, ondaty telo-ale i haba zay
Then King Solomon got together men for the forced work through all Israel, thirty thousand men in number;
14 vaho nampihitrife’e mb’e Lebanone mb’eo, rai-ale boa-bolañe ty nifandimbe, volañe raike e Lebanone añe naho roe volañe añ’ anjomba’e ao; i Adonirame ty nifehe i hàbay.
And sent them to Lebanon in bands of ten thousand every month: for a month they were working in Lebanon and for two months in their country, and Adoniram was in control of them.
15 Fito-ale ty mpijiny kilanka’ i Selomò naho valo-ale ty namira am-bohitse añe;
Then he had seventy thousand for the work of transport, and eighty thousand stone-cutters in the mountains;
16 mandikoatse izay o mpifehe’ i Selomò nifelek’ o fitoloñañeoo: telo-arivo-tsi-telon-jato ty nifeleke ondatio amo fitoloña’eo.
In addition to the chiefs of the responsible men put by Solomon to oversee the work, three thousand and three hundred in authority over the workmen.
17 Nandily t’i Selomò vaho nihaliañe vato jabajaba, vato soa, handranjiañe o mananta’ i anjombaio am-bato pinèke.
By the king's orders great stones, stones of high price, were cut out, so that the base of the house might be made of squared stone.
18 Aa le rinamerame’ o mpandranji’ i Selomòo naho o mpamboa’ i Kirameo naho o nte-Gebaleo irezay, naho nañalankañe o hatae vaho vato nandranjiañe i anjombaio.
Solomon's builders and Hiram's builders did the work of cutting them, and put edges on them, and got the wood and the stone ready for the building of the house.
