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.
And Chiram king of Tyre sent his servants to anoint Solomon in the room of David his father, because Chiram always loved David.
2 Aa le nampihitrife’ i Selomò amy Kirame, ty hoe:
And Solomon sent to Chiram, 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 knew my father David, that he could not build a house to the name of the Lord my God because of the wars that compassed him about, until the Lord put them under the soles of his feet.
4 Fe tinolo’ Iehovà Andrianañahareko fitofàñe ty miariary ahy iaby henanekeo, amy t’ie tsy aman-drafelahy ndra raha mizo.
And now the Lord my God has given me rest round about; there is no one plotting against [me], and there is no evil trespass [against me].
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, behold, I intend to build a house to the name of the Lord my God, as the Lord God spoke to my father David, saying, Your son whom I will set on your throne in your place, he shall build a house to 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.
And now command, and let [men] cut wood for me out of Libanus: and, behold, my servants [shall be] with your servants, and I will give you the wages of your service, according to all that you shall say, because you know that we have no one skilled in cutting timber like the Sidonians.
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 it came to pass, as soon as Chiram heard the words of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly, and said, Blessed [be] God today, who has given to David a wise son over this numerous 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.
And he sent to Solomon, saying, I have listened concerning all that you have sent to me for: I will do all your will: [as for] timber of cedar and fir,
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 servants shall bring them down from Libanus to the sea: I will form them [into] rafts, [and bring them] to the place which you shall send to me [about]; and I will land them there, and you shall take [them] up: and you shall do my will, in giving bread to my household.
10 Aa le natolo’ i Kirame amy Selo­mò ze fonga mendoraveñe naho hara­dranto ni­paia’e.
So Chiram gave to Solomon cedars, and fir trees, and all his desire.
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 to Chiram twenty thousand measures of wheat as food for his house, and twenty thousand baths of beaten oil thus Solomon gave to Chiram yearly.
12 Tinolo’ Iehovà hihitse t’i Selomò, ty amy nitsa­rae’e ama’ey le nifampilongo t’i Kirame naho i Se­lomò; vaho nifanao fañina.
And the Lord gave wisdom to Solomon as he promised him; and there was peace between Chiram and Solomon, and they made a covenant between them.
13 Aa le hene nampi­tsatoha’ i Selomò haba t’Israele, ondaty telo-ale i haba zay
And the king raised a levy out of all Israel, and the levy was thirty thousand men.
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 he sent them to Libanus, ten thousand taking turn every month: they were a month in Libanus and two months at home: and Adoniram [was] over the levy.
15 Fito-ale ty mpijiny kilanka’ i Selo­mò naho valo-ale ty namira am-bohitse añe;
And Solomon had seventy thousand bearers of burdens, and eighty thousand hewers of stone in the mountain;
16 mandikoatse izay o mpifehe’ i Selomò nifelek’ o fitoloñañeoo: telo-arivo-tsi-telon-jato ty nifeleke ondatio amo fitoloña’eo.
besides the rulers that were appointed over the works of Solomon, [there were] three thousand six hundred masters who wrought in the works.
17 Nandily t’i Selo­mò vaho nihaliañe vato jabajaba, vato soa, handranjiañe o mananta’ i anjombaio am-bato pinèke.
[And the king commanded and they ] [brought great stones, precious stones for the foundation of the house, and unhewn stones. ]
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.
And they prepared the stones and the timber [during] three years.
