1 Mootota 9
1 Yommuu Solomoon mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootii fi masaraa mootummaa ijaaree waan hojjechuu barbaade hunda fixetti,
After Solomon had finished the Lord's Temple and the royal palace, having accomplished everything he'd wanted to do,
2 Waaqayyo akkuma Gibeʼoonitti isatti mulʼate sana ammas yeroo lammaffaa isatti mulʼate.
the Lord appeared to him a second time, as he had appeared to him at Gibeon.
3 Waaqayyo akkana isaan jedhe: “Ani kadhannaa fi waammata ati fuula koo duratti dhiʼeessite dhagaʼeera; ani mana qulqullummaa kan ati ijaarte kana maqaa koo bara baraan achi keessa kaaʼuudhaan eebbiseera. Iji koo fi garaan koo yeroo hunda achuma jira.
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 “Yoo ati akkuma Daawit abbaan kee godhe sana garaa qulqulluu fi qajeelummaan fuula koo dura deemtee waan ani ajaje hunda hojjette, yoo qajeelchawwanii fi seerawwan koo eegde,
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 ani akkuman yeroo, ‘Ati nama teessoo Israaʼel irra taaʼu hin dhabdu’ jedhee abbaa kee Daawitiif waadaa gale sana teessoo mootummaa keetii Israaʼel irratti jabeessee bara baraan nan dhaaba.
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 “Garuu yoo ati yookaan ilmaan kee narraa gortanii ajajawwanii fi qajeelchawwan ani isinii kenne sana irraa gara waaqota biraa tajaajiluu fi isaan waaqeffachuu dhaqxan,
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 ani biyya isaaniif kenne keessaa Israaʼelin nan ariʼa; mana qulqullummaa kan Maqaa kootiif qulqulleesse kana illee nan balfa. Ergasiis Israaʼel saboota hunda biratti waan kolfaatii fi waan qoosaa taati.
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 Manni qulqullummaa kunis tuullaa waan diigamee taʼa; namni achiin darbu hundis dinqisiifatee, ‘Waaqayyo maaliif biyya kanaa fi mana qulqullummaa kanatti waan akkasii hojjete?’ jedhee itti qoosa.
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 Namoonnis, ‘Sababiin inni balaa kana hunda isaanitti fideef waan isaan Waaqayyo Waaqa isaanii kan abbootii isaanii Gibxii isaan baase sana dhiisanii, waaqota biraa hammatanii, isaanin waaqeffatanii tajaajilaniif’ jedhanii ni deebisu.”
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 Dhuma waggaa digdamaatti, yeroo itti Solomoon manneen lamaan jechuunis mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootii fi masaraa mootummaa ijaare sanatti,
It took twenty years for Solomon to construct the two buildings—the Temple of the Lord and his own palace. After this,
11 Hiiraam mootichi Xiiroos akkuma Solomoon Mootichi barbaadetti muka birbirsaatii fi gaattiraa akkasuma warqee kenneef; Solomoon immoo magaalaawwan Galiilaa keessa jiran digdama Hiiraam mooticha Xiiroosiif kenne.
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 Hiiraam garuu yommuu Xiiroos irraa kaʼee magaalaawwan Solomoon isaaf kenne ilaaluu dhaqetti magaalaawwan sanatti hin gammanne.
But when Hiram went from Tyre to see the cities that Solomon had given him, he was not happy with them.
13 Innis, “Yaa obboleessoo, magaalaawwan ati naa kennite kunneen magaalaawwan akkamii ti?” jedhee isa gaafate. Kanaafuu biyya Kaabuul jedhee maqaa hamma harʼaatti ittiin waamaman tokko baaseef.
“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 Hiiraamis warqee taalaantii 120 mootichaaf ergee ture.
Even so, Hiram sent the king 120 talents of gold in payment.
15 Seenaan itti Solomoon Mootichi mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo, masaraa mootummaa kan ofii isaa Miiloo, dallaa Yerusaalem, Haazoor, Megidoo fi Geezirin ijaaruuf hojjettoota dirqamanii hojii humnaa hojjetanitti fayyadame kanaa dha.
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 Faraʼoon mootichi Gibxi Geezirin lolee qabatee ture. Innis ibidda itti qabsiise; Kanaʼaanota achi keessa jiraatan fixee intala ofii isaa, niitii Solomoon sanaaf magaalattii gabbara godhee kenne.
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 Solomoonis deebisee Geezirin ijaare. Innis Beet Horoon gad aanu,
Solomon rebuilt Gezer and lower Beth-horon,
18 Baaʼilaati, Tadmoor kan gammoojjii biyya Yihuudaa keessatti argamtu sana,
Baalath and Tamar in the wilderness, in the land of Judah,
19 akkasumas magaalaawwan kuusaawwan isaa hunda, magaalaawwan gaariiwwanii fi kan fardeen isaa, waanuma Yerusaalemitti, Libaanoonittii fi biyya bulchu hunda keessatti ijaaruu barbaade hundumas ni ijaare.
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 Ammas namoota Israaʼeloota hin taʼin kanneen Amoorota, Heetota, Feerzota, Hiiwotaa fi Yebuusota jalaa hafanitu jira.
The descendants of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites (people who were not Israelites)
21 Solomoonis sanyiiwwan namoota kanneen hundaa warra biyyattii keessatti hafan kanneen Israaʼeloonni balleessuu hin dandaʼin sana akkuma hamma harʼaatti illee jiru kana akka isaan hojii garbummaa hojjetaniif dirqisiise.
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 Solomoon garuu Israaʼeloota keessaa nama tokko illee hin garboomsine; isaan loltoota isaa, qondaaltota mootummaa isaa, ajajjuuwwan loltoota isaa, abbootii duulaa, ajajjuuwwan gaariiwwanii fi ajajjuuwwan abbootii fardaa isaa turan.
But Solomon did not enslave any of the Israelites. They were his soldiers, officials, commanders, captains, chariot commanders, and horsemen.
23 Isaan akkasumas hojii Solomoon hojjechiisaa ture keessatti qondaaltota hangafoota turan; qondaaltonni 550 hojjettoota hojii hojjetan kana toʼachaa turan.
They were also the chief officers in charge of Solomon's programs: 550 in command of the people who carried out the work.
24 Solomoonis erga intalli Faraʼoon sun Magaalaa Daawit keessaa gara masaraa mootummaa kan Solomoon isheef ijaare sana dhuftee booddee Miiloo ijaare.
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 Solomoon waggaatti yeroo sadii aarsaa gubamuu fi aarsaa nagaa iddoo aarsaa kan Waaqayyoof ijaare sana irratti dhiʼeessa ni ture; sana wajjinis, fuula Waaqayyoo duratti ixaana aarsee akkasiin hojii ijaarsa mana qulqullummaa fixe.
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 Solomoon mootichi amma illee Eziyoon Geber ishee biyya Edoom keessa, Eelooti bira jirtu keessatti qarqara Galaana Diimaatti dooniiwwan hojjete.
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 Hiiraamis akka isaan namoota Solomoon wajjin dooniiwwan irra hojjetaniif namoota isaa warra doonii oofan kanneen galaanicha beekan erge.
Hiram sent his sailors who knew the sea to serve in the fleet with Solomon's men.
28 Isaanis dooniidhaan Oofiir dhaqanii warqee taalaantii 420 fidanii Solomoon mootichatti kennan.
They sailed to Ophir and brought back 420 talents of gold from there and delivered it to Solomon.
