1 Amakhosi 5
1 UHiramu inkosi yeTire wasethuma inceku zakhe kuSolomoni, ngoba wayezwile ukuthi bamgcobile ukuthi abe yinkosi esikhundleni sikayise, ngoba uHiramu wayemthanda uDavida insuku zonke.
Na Tirohene Huram yɛ ɔhene Dawid adamfo nokwafo, enti bere a ɔtee sɛ wɔasra Salomo ngo sɛ ɔhene sɛ onni nʼagya Dawid ade no, ɔsomaa nʼasomafo kɔɔ Salomo nkyɛn, kɔmaa no tirinkwa.
2 USolomoni wasethumela kuHiramu esithi:
Salomo de saa nkra yi maa sɛ wɔnsan mfa nkɔma Huram:
3 Wena uyazi ukuthi uDavida ubaba wayengelakwakhela ibizo leNkosi uNkulunkulu wakhe indlu ngenxa yezimpi ezazimzingelezele, iNkosi yaze yazifaka ngaphansi kwengaphansi yenyawo zakhe.
“Wo ara wunim sɛ mʼagya Dawid antumi ansi asɔredan anhyɛ Awurade ne Nyankopɔn din anuonyam, esiane akokoakoko a ɔne aman a wɔatwa ne ho ahyia no dii nti. Wantumi anyɛ kosii sɛ Awurade de nʼatamfo hyɛɛ nʼanan ase.
4 Kodwa khathesi iNkosi uNkulunkulu inginikile ukuphumula inhlangothi zonke; kakulasitha, njalo kakulabubi obenzakalayo.
Nanso mprempren, Awurade, me Nyankopɔn ama me ahotɔ wɔ afa nyinaa, minni ɔtamfo biara na biribiara rekɔ yiye.
5 Khangela-ke, ngizimisele ukwakhela ibizo leNkosi uNkulunkulu wami indlu njengokutsho kweNkosi kuDavida ubaba isithi: Indodana yakho engizayibeka esihlalweni sakho sobukhosi esikhundleni sakho, yona izakwakhela ibizo lami indlu.
Ne saa nti, mayɛ adwene sɛ mesi asɔredan ama Awurade, me Nyankopɔn sɛnea Awurade ka kyerɛɛ mʼagya Dawid se me na mɛyɛ no. ‘Wo ba a mede no bɛtena ahengua so, asi wʼanan mu no besi asɔredan ahyɛ me din anuonyam.’
6 Ngakho-ke laya ukuthi bangigamulele imisedari eLebhanoni, lenceku zami zizakuba lenceku zakho; leholo lenceku zakho ngizakunika njengakho konke okutshoyo. Ngoba wena uyakwazi ukuthi kakho phakathi kwethu okwaziyo ukugamula izihlahla njengabeSidoni.
“Ɛno nti, hyɛ ma wonkotwa sida a efi Lebanon mmrɛ me. Me mmarima ne wo mmarima bɛyɛ adwuma, na akatua biara a wubegye ama wɔn no, metua. Wo ara wunim sɛ, obiara nkyɛn Sidonfo wɔ nnuabu mu.”
7 Kwasekusithi uHiramu esizwa amazwi kaSolomoni wathokoza kakhulu wathi: Kayibusiswe iNkosi lamuhla emnikileyo uDavida indodana ehlakaniphileyo phezu kwalesisizwe esikhulu.
Bere a Huram tee Salomo nkra no, nʼani sɔɔ yiye kae se, “Ayeyi nka Awurade nnɛ, efisɛ wama Dawid ɔba nyansafo sɛ ommedi saa ɔman kɛse Israel yi so.”
8 UHiramu wasethumela kuSolomoni esithi: Ngizwile lokho ongithumele ngakho; mina ngizakwenza zonke iziloyiso zakho mayelana lezigodo zemisedari lamayelana lezigodo zamafiri.
Enti Huram de nkra kɔmaa Salomo se, “Me nsa aka nkra a wode brɛɛ me no, na mɛyɛ wʼabisade a ɛfa nnua no ho no. Metumi de sida nnua ne ɔpepaw nnua abrɛ wo.
9 Inceku zami zizazehlisa zisuka eLebhanoni zisiya elwandle; mina-ke ngizazenza okundendayo olwandle ukuya endaweni ozayiqamba kimi, ngizithukulule lapho; wena-ke uzazithathela khona, wena uzakwenza isifiso sami ngokupha abendlu yami ukudla.
Mʼasomfo de nnua no befi Lebanon mmepɔw so aba Po Kɛse so, na mɛma atentɛn afa po ani sɛnea wɔde ayɛ ɔkorow no, de akɔ baabiara a wobɛkyerɛ. Ɛno akyi no, yɛbɛsan mu na yɛde nnua no abrɛ wo. Wobɛma me fifo aduan, sɛnea mehwehwɛ no.”
10 Ngakho uHiramu wamnika uSolomoni izigodo zemisedari lezigodo zamafiri njengokwezifiso zakhe zonke.
Huram faa saa ɔkwan yi so maa Salomo sida ne ɔpepaw nnua sɛnea ɔpɛ,
11 LoSolomoni wanika uHiramu amakhori engqoloyi azinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amathathu lambili, ukudla kwabendlu yakhe, lamakhori angamatshumi amabili amafutha akhanyiweyo. Ngokunjalo uSolomoni wamupha uHiramu iminyaka ngeminyaka.
na Salomo maa Huram fifo atoko tɔn 3,600 ne ngo kronkron galɔn 120,000.
12 INkosi yasimnika uSolomoni inhlakanipho njengokutsho kwayo kuye. Kwasekusiba khona ukuthula phakathi kukaHiramu loSolomoni; benza isivumelwano bobabili.
Na Awurade maa Salomo nyansa a emu dɔ, sɛnea ɔhyɛɛ no bɔ no. Na Huram ne Salomo yɛɛ asomdwoe apam.
13 Inkosi uSolomoni yabutha izibhalwa kuIsrayeli wonke; lezibhalwa zazingabantu abazinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amathathu.
Na ɔhene Salomo kyerɛw adwumayɛfo mpem aduasa a wofi Israel nyinaa din.
14 Yasibathuma eLebhanoni, abazinkulungwane ezilitshumi ngenyanga ngamazopho, inyanga beseLebhanoni, inyanga ezimbili besekhaya. LoAdoniramu wayephezu kwezibhalwa.
Ɔsomaa wɔn akuwakuw kɔɔ Lebanon. Ɔsram biara mu, nnipa mpem du kɔ, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a, ɔbarima baako biara bedi ɔsram baako wɔ Lebanon, na wadi asram abien wɔ fie. Adoniram na na ɔhwɛ saa adwumayɛfo yi so.
15 Futhi uSolomoni wayelabayizinkulungwane ezingamatshumi ayisikhombisa abathwala imithwalo, lababazi abazinkulungwane ezingamatshumi ayisificaminwembili ezintabeni,
Salomo nso faa nnesoasoafo mpem aduɔson; faa abopaefo mpem aduɔwɔtwe fi bepɔw asase no so,
16 ngaphandle kwezinduna zabaphathi bakaSolomoni, ababephethe umsebenzi, izinkulungwane ezintathu lamakhulu amathathu, ezazibusa abantu ababesenza umsebenzi.
ne wɔn so sohwɛfo mpem ahaasa ne ahansia a wɔbɛhwɛ adwuma no so.
17 Inkosi yasilaya, baletha amatshe amakhulu, amatshe aligugu, okubeka isisekelo sendlu, amatshe abaziweyo.
Ɔhene no hyɛ ma abotwafo no paee, twaa aboɔdemmo no, yiyii ho sɛnea wɔde bɛhyɛ Asɔredan no fapem.
18 Abakhi bakaSolomoni labakhi bakaHiramu lamaGebhali basebebaza, balungisa izigodo lamatshe ukwakha indlu.
Mmarima a wofi Gebal kuropɔn mu boaa Salomo ne Huram adansifo no, ma wosiesiee nnua ne abo no maa Asɔredan no si.
