1 Wafalme 5
1 Hiramu mfalme wa Tiro aliposikia kuwa Solomoni ametiwa mafuta awe mfalme mahali pa Daudi baba yake, akatuma wajumbe kwa Solomoni, kwa sababu Hiramu siku zote alikuwa na uhusiano mzuri wa kirafiki na Daudi.
And he sent Hiram [the] king of Tyre servants his to Solomon for he had heard that him people had anointed to king in place of father his for a friend he had been Hiram of David all the days.
2 Solomoni akapeleka ujumbe huu kwa Hiramu:
And he sent Solomon to Hiram saying.
3 “Unajua kwamba kwa sababu ya vita vilivyopiganwa dhidi ya baba yangu Daudi kutoka pande zote, hakuweza kujenga Hekalu kwa ajili ya Jina la Bwana Mungu wake, hadi Bwana alipowaweka adui zake chini ya miguu yake.
You you know David father my that not he was able to build a house for [the] name of Yahweh God his because of the war which they had surrounded him until gave Yahweh them under [the] soles of (feet my. *Q(K)*)
4 Lakini sasa Bwana Mungu wangu amenipa utulivu kila upande hakuna adui wala maafa.
And now he has given rest Yahweh God my to me from round about there not [is] an adversary and there not [is] an occurrence evil.
5 Kwa hiyo, ninakusudia kujenga Hekalu kwa ajili ya Jina la Bwana, Mungu wangu, kama Bwana alivyomwambia baba yangu Daudi, wakati aliposema, ‘Mwanao nitakayemweka kwenye kiti cha ufalme mahali pako, ndiye atajenga Hekalu kwa ajili ya Jina langu.’
And here I [am] saying to build a house for [the] name of Yahweh God my just as - he spoke Yahweh to David father my saying son your whom I will put in place of you on throne your he he will build the house for name my.
6 “Hivyo toa amri ili mierezi ya Lebanoni ikatwe kwa ajili yangu. Watu wangu watafanya kazi na watu wako, nami nitawalipa watu wako kwa ujira wowote utakaoupanga. Unajua kwamba hatuna mtu yeyote mwenye ustadi katika kukata miti kama Wasidoni.”
And therefore command so they may cut for me cedars from Lebanon and servants my they will be with servants your and [the] wage[s] of servants your I will give to you according to all that you will say for - you you know that there not among us [is] anyone [who] knows to cut wood like the Sidonians.
7 Hiramu aliposikia ujumbe wa Solomoni, akafurahishwa sana akasema, “Ahimidiwe Bwana leo, kwa kuwa amempa Daudi mwana mwenye hekima kutawala juu ya taifa hili kubwa.”
And it was when heard Hiram [the] words of Solomon and he rejoiced exceedingly and he said [be] blessed Yahweh this day who he has given to David a son wise over the people great this.
8 Hiramu akatuma neno kwa Solomoni: “Nimepokea ujumbe ulionipelekea na nitafanya yote unayohitaji katika kukupatia magogo ya mierezi na misunobari.
And he sent Hiram to Solomon saying I have heard [that] which you sent to me I I will do all desire your in wood of cedar and in wood of cypress.
9 Watu wangu watayakokota kutoka Lebanoni hadi kwenye bahari, nami nitayafunga mafungu mafungu yaelee juu ya maji hadi utakapoelekeza. Huko nitayatenganisha, nawe utaweza kuyachukua. Wewe utakidhi haja yangu kwa kunipatia chakula kwa ajili ya watu wa nyumbani mwangu.”
Servants my they will bring [them] down from Lebanon [the] sea towards and I I will make them rafts on the sea to the place which you will send to me and I will break up them there and you you will carry [them] away and you you will do desire my by giving [the] food of household my.
10 Kwa njia hii Hiramu akampa Solomoni miti yote ya mierezi na magogo ya misunobari kama alivyohitaji,
And he was Hiram giving to Solomon wood of cedar and wood of cypress all desire his.
11 naye Solomoni akampa Hiramu kori 20,000 za ngano kama chakula kwa ajili ya watu wa nyumbani mwake, pamoja na mafuta safi ya zeituni yaliyokamuliwa bathi 20,000. Solomoni aliendelea kumfanyia Hiramu hivyo mwaka baada ya mwaka.
And Solomon he gave to Hiram twenty thousand cor[s] of wheat food for household his and twenty cor[s] of oil pressed thus he gave Solomon to Hiram a year in a year.
12 Bwana akampa Solomoni hekima, kama alivyomwahidi. Palikuwepo na uhusiano wa amani kati ya Hiramu na Solomoni, na wote wawili wakafanya mkataba.
And Yahweh he gave wisdom to Solomon just as he had spoken to him and it was peace between Hiram and between Solomon and they made a covenant [the] two of them.
13 Mfalme Solomoni akakusanya wafanyakazi 30,000 kutoka Israeli yote.
And he raised the king Solomon forced labor from all Israel and it was the forced labor thirty thousand man.
14 Akawapeleka Lebanoni kwa zamu za watu 10,000 kwa mwezi, hivyo walikaa Lebanoni kwa mwezi mmoja na miezi miwili nyumbani. Adoniramu ndiye alikuwa kiongozi wa shokoa.
And he sent them Lebanon towards ten thousand in the month relays a month they were in Lebanon two months in home his and Adoniram [was] over the forced labor.
15 Solomoni alikuwa na wachukuzi wa mizigo 70,000 na wachonga mawe 80,000 huko vilimani,
And it belonged to Solomon seventy thousand carrier[s] burden-bearer[s] and eighty thousand stone-cutter[s] in the hill country.
16 pamoja na wasimamizi 3,300 ambao walisimamia kazi hiyo na kuwaongoza wafanyakazi.
Apart from [the] leaders of the overseers of Solomon who [were] over the work three thousand and three hundred who ruled over the people who were doing the work.
17 Kwa amri ya mfalme walitoa kwenye machimbo ya mawe, mawe makubwa, yaliyo bora kwa kujengea msingi wa nyumba yaliyochongwa kwa ajili ya Hekalu.
And he commanded the king and they quarried stones large stones costly to found the house stones of hewn [stone].
18 Mafundi wa Solomoni, wa Hiramu na watu wa Gebali walikata na kuandaa mbao na mawe kwa ajili ya ujenzi wa Hekalu.
And they cut [them] to shape [the] builders of Solomon and [the] builders of Hiram and the Gebalites and they prepared the wood and the stones to build the house.
