1 Soromoni akada kuvaka temberi yeZita raJehovha uye nomuzinda wakewo.
And Solomon saith to build a house for the name of Jehovah, and a house for his kingdom,
2 Akatuma varume zviuru makumi manomwe kuti vave vatakuri vamabwe, navarume zviuru makumi masere kuti vave vavezi vamatombo mumakomo uye varume zviuru zvitatu namazana matanhatu kuti vave vatariri vavo.
and Solomon numbereth seventy thousand men bearing burden, and eighty thousand men hewing in the mountain, and overseers over them — three thousand and six hundred.
3 Soromoni akatumira shoko iri kuna Hiramu mambo weTire: “Nditumireiwo matanda emisidhari sezvamakaitira baba vangu Dhavhidhi pamakavatumira misidhari yokuvakisa muzinda wavo kuti vagaremo.
And Solomon sendeth unto Huram king of Tyre, saying, 'When thou hast dealt with David my father, then thou dost send to him cedars to build for him a house to dwell in;
4 Zvino ndava kuda kuvakira Zita raJehovha Mwari wangu temberi ndigoikumikidza kwaari kuti ndigopisira zvinonhuhwira pamberi pake, kuti ndigoisa chingwa chakatsaurwa nguva dzose uye kuti ndigoita zvipiriso zvinopiswa mangwanani namanheru oga oga, pamaSabata, paKugara kwoMwedzi napamitambo yakatarwa yaJehovha Mwari wedu. Uyu ndiwo murayiro wakapiwa Israeri nokusingaperi.
lo, I am building a house to the name of Jehovah my God, to sanctify [it] to Him, to make perfume before Him, perfume of spices, and a continual arrangement, and burnt-offerings at morning and at evening, at sabbaths, and at new moons, and at appointed seasons of Jehovah our God; to the age this [is] on Israel.
5 “Temberi yandichavaka ichange iri huru nokuti Mwari wedu mukuru kupinda vamwari vose.
'And the house that I am building [is] great, for greater [is] our God than all gods;
6 Asi ndiani angakwanisa kumuvakira temberi, sezvo iye asingakwani kunyange mumatenga okumusoro-soro? Ko, ini ndini aniko kuti ndingamuvakirawo temberi asi chete senzvimbo yokupisira zvipiriso zvinopiswa pamberi pake?
and who doth retain strength to build to Him a house, for the heavens, even the heavens of the heavens, do not contain Him? and who [am] I that I do build to Him a house, except to make perfume before Him?
7 “Saka zvino nditumirewo, murume ano unyanzvi hwokushandisa goridhe, nesirivha, ndarira, nesimbi uye nemicheka yepepuru nemitsvuku neyebhuruu, ane ruzivo rwezvokuveza kuti ashande muJudha neJerusarema pamwe chete navarume vakachenjera vakasiyiwa naDhavhidhi baba vangu.
'And now, send to me a wise man to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in iron, and in purple, and crimson, and blue, and knowing to grave gravings with the wise men who [are] with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father prepared;
8 “Nditumireiwo misidhari, mipaini namatanda emiarigumi kubva kuRebhanoni nokuti ndinoziva kuti vanhu venyu vane unyanzvi mukutema matanda ikoko. Vanhu vangu vachashanda pamwe chete nevako
and send to me cedar-trees, firs, and algums from Lebanon, for I have known that thy servants know to cut down trees of Lebanon, and lo, my servants [are] with thy servants,
9 kuti ndiwane matanda mazhinji kwazvo nokuti temberi yandichavaka inofanira kuva huru uye yakanaka zvikuru.
even to prepare for me trees in abundance, for the house that I am building [is] great and wonderful.
10 Ndichapa varanda vako vachatema matanda, zviyero zviuru makumi maviri zvegorosi, zviyero zviuru makumi maviri zvebhari, mabhati ewaini zviuru makumi maviri uye mabhati amafuta omuorivhi zviuru makumi maviri.”
'And lo, to hewers, to those cutting the trees, I have given beaten wheat to thy servants, cors twenty thousand, and barley, cors twenty thousand, and wine, baths twenty thousand, and oil, baths twenty thousand.'
11 Hiramu mambo weTire akapindura netsamba kuna Soromoni akati: “Nokuti Jehovha anoda vanhu vake, akakuita mambo wavo.”
And Huram king of Tyre saith in writing, and sendeth unto Solomon: 'In the love of Jehovah to His people He hath given thee king over them.'
12 Uye Hiramu akaenderera mberi achiti: “Jehovha Mwari waIsraeri ngaarumbidzwe iye akaita denga nenyika! Akapa mambo Dhavhidhi mwanakomana akachenjera, azere noungwaru nokunzwisisa, achavakira Jehovha temberi uye uye achazvivakirawo muzinda wake.
And Huram saith, 'Blessed [is] Jehovah, God of Israel, who made the heavens and the earth, who hath given to David the king a wise son, knowing wisdom and understanding, who doth build a house for Jehovah, and a house for his kingdom.
13 “Ndiri kukutumira Hurami-Abhi murume ano unyanzvi kwazvo.
'And now, I have sent a wise man having understanding, of Huram my father,
14 Mai vake vaibva kuDhani uye baba vake vaibva kuTire. Akadzidziswa kushanda negoridhe, nesirivha, ndarira, nesimbi, matombo namatanda uye nemicheka yepepuru neyebhuruu, nemitsvuku, nemicheka yakaisvonaka. Ane ruzivo mukuveza kwamarudzi ose uye anogona kuveza achiteedzera zvose zvaanenge arayirwa. Achashanda nemhizha dzenyu pamwe chete nedzaishe wangu Dhavhidhi baba vako.
(son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, and his father a man of Tyre), knowing to work in gold, and in silver, in brass, in iron, in stones, and in wood, in purple, in blue, and in fine linen, and in crimson, and to grave any graving, and to devise any device that is given to him, with thy wise men, and the wise men of my lord David thy father.
15 “Zvino ishe wangu ngaatumire varanda vake gorosi nebhari namafuta omuorivhi newaini zvamakavimbisa,
'And, now, the wheat, and the barley, the oil, and the wine, as my lord said, let him send to his servants,
16 isu tichatema matanda ose kubva kuRebhanoni omuonde uye tichaaeredzesa pamagwa nemugungwa achidzika kusvika kuJopa. Munogona ipapo kuzoatora moaendesa kuJerusarema.”
and we — we cut trees out of Lebanon, according to all thy need, and bring them in to thee — floats by sea, to Joppa, and thou dost take them up to Jerusalem.'
17 Soromoni akaverenga vatorwa vose vaiva muIsraeri mushure mokuverengwa kwavanhu nababa vake Dhavhidhi; uye vakawanikwa vari zviuru zana namakumi mashanu nezvitatu namazana matanhatu.
And Solomon numbereth all the men, the sojourners who [are] in the land of Israel, after the numbering with which David his father numbered them, and they are found a hundred and fifty thousand, and three thousand, and six hundred;
18 Akarayira zviuru makumi manomwe kuti vave vatakuri vamatombo uye zviuru makumi masere kuti vave vavezi vamatombo muzvikomo, uye zviuru zvitatu namazana matanhatu kuti vave vatariri pamusoro pavo kuti vanhu varambe vachishanda.
and he maketh of them seventy thousand burden-bearers, and eighty thousand hewers in the mountain, and three thousand and six hundred overseers, to cause the people to work.
