Solomon sent a message to Hiram, king of Tyre, telling him,
4 oniño te hamboarako anjomba ty tahina’ Iehovà Andrianañahareko, havaheñe ho aze, hañembohako rame mandrifondrifoñe añatrefa’e naho handaharañe o mofo-piatrekeo nainai’e naho hisoroñañe boa-maraiñe naho hariva, amo Sabatao naho amo pea-bolañeo naho amo andro namantaña’ Iehovà Andrianañaharentika ho fañè nainai’e am’ Israeleo.
“Please do as you did with my father David when you sent him cedar timber for him to build a palace to live in. I'm about to start building a Temple to honor the Lord my God, dedicated to him, where he will be offered sweet-smelling incense, where the showbread will be always set out in rows, and where burnt offerings will be made every morning and evening, on the Sabbaths, at new moon festivals, and at the feasts of the Lord our God—this to be done forever in Israel.
5 Le ho jabajaba ty anjomba ho ranjieko ho Aze amy te jabahinake te amo fonga ndrahareo t’i Andrianañaharentika.
This Temple I am about to build must be impressive, because our God is greater than all gods.
6 Fa ia ty hahafamboatse anjomba ho ama’e kanao tsy tsahatse aze o likerañeo naho ty tane toy? Aa le ia v’o aho te handranjy anjomba ho aze naho tsy t’ie hisoroñe añ’ atrefa’eo?
But who can build a Temple for him to live in, for the heavens, even highest heaven, cannot contain him, and who am I that I should dare to build him a house, except to burn incense to him?

So please send me a master craftsman who is skilled in working with gold, silver, bronze, and iron; and in purple, scarlet, and blue fabrics. He must also know how to engrave, working together with my expert craftsmen from Judea and Jerusalem provided by my father David.

Also send me cedar, cypress, and algum timber from Lebanon, for I know that your workers are skillful in cutting down the trees of Lebanon. I will send men to help your workers

11 Aa le nanoiñe an-tsokitse t’i Korame mpanjaka’ i Tsore vaho nahitri’e amy Selomò: Kanao kokoa’ Iehovà ondati’eo le Ihe ty nanoe’e mpanjaka’e.
King Hiram of Tyre responded to Solomon by letter: “It's because the Lord loves his people that he has made you their king.”
12 Tinovo’ i Korame ty hoe: Andriañeñe t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele, Andrianamboatse o likerañeo naho ty tane toy, ie nanolotse amy Davide mpanjaka ty anake mahihitse, nitoloran-kilala naho faharendrehañe, handranjia’e anjomba Iehovà naho anjomba i fifehea’ey.
Hiram went on, “Praise the Lord, the God of Israel, who made the heavens and the earth! He has given King David a wise son with insight and understanding who is going to build a Temple for the Lord and a royal palace for himself.
13 Ingo te hañitrifako ondaty mahilala, mahimban-tsata, toe i Korame mpialom-pitsenekoy,

15 Le i vare-bolè naho vare-hordea naho menake naho divay nisaontsien-talèkoy, le ampañitrifo amo mpitoro’oo,
Now my lord, please send to us his servants the wheat, barley, olive oil, and wine he spoke about.

We will cut all timber you need from Lebanon and take it to you by sea in rafts to Joppa. From there you can transport it to Jerusalem.”

Solomon had a census taken of all the foreigners in the land of Israel, like the census his father David had conducted, and found there were 153,600.
