1 Ie añe ty roapolo taoñe namboare’ i Selomò i anjomba’ Iehovày naho i an­jomba’ey,
It had taken twenty years for Solomon to build the Temple of the Lord and his own palace.
2 le namboare’e o rova natolo’ i Korame azeo vaho nampimoneñe’e ao o ana’ Israeleo.
Solomon rebuilt the towns Hiram had given him, and sent Israelites to live there.
3 Nimb’e Kamate-tsobà mb’eo t’i Selo­mò nandrekets’ aze.
Then Solomon attacked Hamath-zobah and captured it.

He built Tadmor in the wilderness and also built all the storehouse towns in Hamath.
5 Namboare’e ka ty Bete-Korone ambone naho i Bete-korone ambane; rova fatratse, reketse kijoly naho lalambey vaho sikadañe;
He rebuilt Upper and Lower Beth-horon, fortified cities with walls and barred gates,
6 naho i Baalate naho ze hene rova-pihaja’ i Selomòo naho o fonga rovan-tsarete’eo naho o rova’ o mpiningi’eo naho ze he’e namboare’e an-tsatrin-tro’e e Ierosalaime ao naho e Lebanone añe vaho amo hene tanem-pifehea’eo.
and also Baalath. He built all the storehouse towns that belonged to him, and all the towns where he kept his chariots and horses. He built everything he wanted to in Jerusalem, Lebanon, and throughout his entire kingdom.
7 Le ze hene ondaty nisisa amo nte-Kiteo naho amo nte-Amoreo naho amo nte-Perizeo naho amo nte-Kiveo naho amo nte-Iebosio, o tsy nte-Israeleo,
There were some people who remained in the land: the Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites—people who were not Israelites.
8 o sehangan’ ana’ iareo amy taney nisisa tsy nimongore’ o ana’ Israeleo, le nampijinie’ i Se­lo­mò rorotse pake henàne.
They were the remaining descendants of the peoples that the Israelites had not destroyed. Solomon made them work as forced laborers, as they are to this day.
9 Fe naho o ana’ Israeleo, tsy nanoe’ i Selomò mpitoroñe amo fitoloña’eo, fa nilahindefoñe naho mpifehem-pifeleke naho mpifele-tsarete’e vaho mpiningi-tsarete’e.
But Solomon did not make any of the Israelites work as slaves. Instead, they were his military men, his officers, and commanders of his chariots and horsemen.
10 Ie o mpiaolom-pifehe’ i Selomòo, ty roanjato-tsi-limampolo mpifeleke ondatio.
They were also King Solomon's chief officers, 250 men who supervised the people.
11 Le nampionjone’ i Selomò boak’ an-drova’ i Davide ao i anak’ ampela’ i Paròy mb’amy anjomba niranjie’e ho azey; ami’ty saontsi’e ty hoe: Tsy himo­neñe añ’ anjomba’ i Davide mpanjaka’ Israeley ty tañanjombako, amy te masiñe ty toetse nivotraha’ i vata’ Iehovày.
Solomon moved Pharaoh's daughter from the City of David to the palace he had built for her. For he said, “My wife cannot live in the palace of David king of Israel, because wherever the Ark of the Lord has gone are holy places.”
12 Le nañenga soroñe am’ Iehovà amy kitreli’ Iehovày t’i Selomò, i niranjie’e aolo’ i lavarangaiy;
Then Solomon presented burnt offerings to the Lord on the altar of the Lord he had built in front of the Temple's porch.
13 nañenga boak’ andro re ty amy lili’ i àndroy, ty amy lili’ i Mosèy, le amo Sabatao naho amo pea-bolañeo naho amo andro namantañañe in-telo boa-taoñeo, i sabadida-mofo tsy aman-dalivaiy naho i sabadidan-kereñandroy vaho i sabadi­dan-kibohotsey.
He followed the requirement for daily offerings as Moses had ordered for Sabbaths, new moons, and the three annual festivals—the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the Festival of Weeks, and the Festival of Shelters.
14 Tinendre’e ty amy fañè’ i Davide rae’ey, ty firimboña’ o mpisoroñeo amo fitoroña’eo naho o nte-Levio amo fitoroña’eo, ty handrenge naho hito­roñe añatrefa’ o mpisoroñeo, ty amy lili’ i àndroy; naho ty firimboña’ o mpigarin-dalam-beio, songa an-dalambei’e; amy nandilia’ i Davide ondatin’ Añaharey.
Following the instructions of his father David, he assigned the divisions of the priests for their service, and the Levites in their responsibilities to offer praise, and to help the priests in their daily duties. He also assigned gatekeepers by their divisions at each gate as David, the man of God, had instructed.
15 Le tsy nivik’ amy nandilia’ i mpanjakay amo mpisoroñeo naho amo nte-Levio aman’ inoñ’ inoñe ndra amo trañon-kàjao iereo.
They followed David's instructions exactly regarding the priests, the Levites, and anything to do with the treasuries.
16 Aa le linahatse iaby ty fitoloña’ i Selomò ampara’ i fañoreñañe o faha’ i anjom­ba’ Iehovàio, pak’ ami’ty nahahenefa’e aze. Aa le nifonitse ty anjomba’ Iehovà.
This is how all Solomon's work was carried out, from the day the foundation was laid for the Lord's Temple until it was finished. So the Lord's Temple was completed.
17 Nomb’e Etsione-gebere naho Elote, añ’olon-driak’ an-tane’ i Edome mb’eo t’i Selomò.
After this Solomon went to Ezion-geber and to Eloth on the coast of the land of Edom.
18 Le hinitri’ i Korame ama’e am-pità’ o mpitoro’eo ty sambo naho o mpitoro’e zatse riakeo, le niharo lia amo mpitoro’ i Selomò mb’e Ofire mb’eo iareo, nangalake volamena efajato-tsi-limampolo talenta añe vaho nendese’ iereo mb’amy Selomò.
Hiram sent him ships under the command of his own officers, along with experienced sailors. They went with Solomon's men to Ophir where they loaded 450 talents of gold, which they then brought back to King Solomon.
