1 Mpanjaka 9
1 Aa ie nifonire’ i Selomò ty fandranjiañe i anjomba’ Iehovày, naho ty anjomba’ i mpanjakay, naho ze fitoloñañe nahafale-troke i Selomò,
After Solomon had finished the Lord's Temple and the royal palace, having accomplished everything he'd wanted to do,
2 le niheo amy Selomò fañindroe’e t’Iehovà manahake ty niboaha’e e Gibone añe.
the Lord appeared to him a second time, as he had appeared to him at Gibeon.
3 Le hoe t’Iehovà ama’e: Fa tsinanoko i halali’oy naho i sabo nanoe’o amakoy: Fa navaheko ty anjomba namboare’o toy, ie nampijoñeko tsy mbia tsy ho ama’e i añarakoy; vaho ho ama’e nainai’e donia o masokoo naho ty troko.
The Lord told him, “I have heard your prayer and your request to me. I have dedicated this Temple you have built by placing my name on it forever; I will always watch over it and take care of it.
4 Aa naho ihe ro hañavelo aoloko manahake ty nañaveloa’ i Davide rae’o, an-kavantañan’ arofo, naho an-kavañonañe, manao ze hene nandiliako azo naho mañambeñe o fañèkoo naho o fepèkoo;
As for you, if you follow my ways as your father David did, doing everything I've told you to do, and if you keep my laws and regulations,
5 le horizako ho nainai’e ty fiambesam-pifehea’o Israele, amy nampitamako i Davide rae’oy, ami’ty hoe: Tsy ho po-ondaty am-piambesa’ Israele eo irehe.
then I will make your throne secure forever. I made this agreement with your father David, telling him, ‘You will always have a descendant to rule over Israel.’
6 Fe ke iambohoa’ areo ty fañorihañ’ Ahy, inahareo ndra o ana’ areoo ie tsy mitañe o lilikoo naho o fañèko apoko añatrefa’ areoo, te mone mandifike hitoroñe ‘ndrahare ila’e vaho hitalaho ama’e;
But if you or your descendants turn away and do not keep the laws and the commandments I have given you, and if you go and serve and worship other gods,
7 le haitoako amy tane natoloko iareoy t’Israele; naho hahifiko tsy ho am-pahaisahako ty anjomba navaheko ho ami’ty añarako toy; le ho razan-drehake t’Israele, fandrabioña’ o kilakila’ ondatio;
then I will cut Israel off from the land I have given them. I will banish from my presence this Temple I have dedicated to my honor, and I will make it an object lesson of ridicule among the nations.
8 le akore amy zay ty anjomba miligiligy toy, kanao hilatsà naho hikosiha’ ze hene ondaty miary ama’e, hanao ty hoe: Ino ty nanoe’ Iehovà ami’ty tane toy naho ami’ty anjomba toy?
This Temple will become a pile of rubble. All who pass by it will be appalled and will hiss, saying, ‘Why has the Lord acted in such a way to this land and this Temple?’
9 Le ho toiñeñe ty hoe: amy te nitsambolitio’ iereo t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ iareo, i nampiavotse o roae’ iareoo an-tane’ Mitsraimey ie nandrambe ‘ndrahare ila’e naho nitalahoa’e vaho nitoroña’e; izay ty nametsaha’ Iehovà am’ iereo o fonga hankàñe zao.
The answer will come, ‘Because they abandoned the Lord their God, who brought their forefathers out of Egypt, and have embraced other gods, worshiping them and serving them. That's why the Lord has brought all this trouble upon them.’”
10 Aa ie niritse ty roapolo taoñe namboare’ i Selomò i anjomba roe rey, ty anjomba’ Iehovà naho ty anjomba’ i mpanjakay
It took twenty years for Solomon to construct the two buildings—the Temple of the Lord and his own palace. After this,
11 (ie natolo’ i Kirame mpanjaka’ i Tsore amy Selomò ze hene mendoraveñe naho kobaiñe naho ze volamena nipaia’e) le natolo’ i Selomò amy Kirame ty rova roa-polo an-tane Galìle ao.
King Solomon gave twenty towns in Galilee to Hiram king of Tyre, because Hiram had provided him with all the cedar and juniper and gold he wanted.
12 Niavotse amy Tsore t’i Kirame hañisake o rova natolo’ i Selomò azeo; fe tsy ni-nò’e.
But when Hiram went from Tyre to see the cities that Solomon had given him, he was not happy with them.
13 Le hoe re: Rova ino ze o natolo’o ahiko zao, rahalahiko? Le natao: Tane’ i Kabole izay pake henaneo.
“What are these towns you have given me, my brother?” asked Hiram. He called them the land of Cabul, the name they are known by to this day.
14 Volamena zato-tsi-roa-polo ty nampihitrife’ i Kirame amy mpanjakay.
Even so, Hiram sent the king 120 talents of gold in payment.
15 Zao ty volilim-pitoloña’ i haba nakare’ i Selomò mpanjakaiy: namboare’e ty anjomba’ Iehovà naho ty anjomba’e, naho i Milo, naho ty kijoli’ Ierosalaime, naho i Katsore naho i Megidòne vaho i Getsere
Here is the account of the forced labor that King Solomon imposed to build the Lord's Temple, his own palace, the terraces, and the wall of Jerusalem, as well as Hazor, Megiddo, and Gezer.
16 ie fa nionjo-mb’eo t’i Parò mpanjaka’ i Mitsraime, nitavañe i Getsere; finorototo’e añ’ afo naho fonga zinama’e o nte-Kaanane nimoneñe amy rovaio vaho natolo’e ho enta’ i anak’ ampela’e, vali’ i Selomòy.
Pharaoh, king of Egypt, had attacked and captured Gezer. He had set it on fire, killed the Canaanites living in the town. He had then given it as a wedding dowry to his daughter, Solomon's wife.
17 Aa le namboare’ i Selomò ty Getsere naho i Bete-korone ambane
Solomon rebuilt Gezer and lower Beth-horon,
18 naho i Baalate naho i Tadmore an-dratraratra’ i taney;
Baalath and Tamar in the wilderness, in the land of Judah,
19 naho ze hene rovam-pihaja’ i Selomò naho o rovan-tsarete’eo naho o rovam-piningi-tsoavala’eo, naho ze nitea’ i Selomò ranjieñe e Ierosalaime naho e Lebanone ao naho an-tanem-pifehea’e iaby.
and all of Solomon's towns for storage, and the towns for his chariots and for his horsemen, plus whatever Solomon wanted to build in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and throughout his entire kingdom.
20 Le o fonga ondaty nisehanga’ o nte-Amoreo, o nte-Keteo, o nte-Perizeo, o nte-Hiveo vaho o nte-Ieboseo; o tsy ana’ Israeleo,
The descendants of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites (people who were not Israelites)
21 o tiri’ iareo nihonkahonka’e amy taneio, o tsy zinama’ o ana’ Israeleoo; ie ty nangala’ i Selomò mpitoroñe amy vili-lohay pake henane.
who remained in the land—those whom the Israelites were unable to destroy completely—were conscripted by Solomon to work as forced laborers, as they continue to do to this day.
22 Tsy nangala’ i Selomò habam-pitoroñañe amo ana’ Israeleo fa nanoeñe lahindefo’e, mpitoro’e, roandria’e, mpifehe’e, mpifele-tsarete’e vaho mpiningi-tsoavala’e.
But Solomon did not enslave any of the Israelites. They were his soldiers, officials, commanders, captains, chariot commanders, and horsemen.
23 Ie o mpiaolo nifehe’ ty fitoloña’ i Selomòo; liman-jato-tsi-limampolo ty nifeleke ondaty nitoloñe amy asaio.
They were also the chief officers in charge of Solomon's programs: 550 in command of the people who carried out the work.
24 Fe niavotse ty rova’ i Davide ty anak’ ampela’ i Parò mb’ amy anjomba namboara’ i Selomò azey; izay vaho namboare’e ty Milò.
Once Pharaoh's daughter had moved from the City of David to the palace that Solomon had built for her, he built the city terraces.
25 Intelo ami’ty taoñe ty nañengà’ i Selomò soroñe naho engam-panintsiñañe amy kitrely niranjie’e ho a Iehovày vaho nañembok’ añ’atrefa’ Iehovà. Aa le nifonire’e i anjombay.
Three times each year Solomon sacrificed burnt offerings and friendship offerings on the altar he had built for the Lord, burning incense before the Lord with them, and so fulfilled what was required at the Temple.
26 Le namboare’e firimboñan-tsambo e Etsione-gebere añ’ila’ i Elote añ’ olo’ i riake Menay, an-tane Edome añe.
King Solomon built a fleet of ships at Ezion-geber, which is near Eloth on the shore of the Red Sea, in the land of Edom.
27 Nampihitrife’ i Kirame mb’amo sambo’eo o mpitoro’e mpian-dàkañe zatse riakeo, hitraok’ amo mpitoro’ i Selomòo.
Hiram sent his sailors who knew the sea to serve in the fleet with Solomon's men.
28 Le nionjoñe mb’e Ofire añe iereo nangalake volamena talenta efajato-tsi-roapolo ze nandesa’ i areo amy Selomò.
They sailed to Ophir and brought back 420 talents of gold from there and delivered it to Solomon.
