1 Wafalme 9
1 Solomoni alipomaliza kujenga Hekalu la Bwana na jumba la kifalme, alipokwisha kufanya yote aliyotaka kufanya,
And it was when had finished Solomon to build [the] house of Yahweh and [the] house of the king and all [the] desire of Solomon which he delighted to do.
2 Bwana akamtokea mara ya pili, kama alivyokuwa amemtokea huko Gibeoni.
And he appeared Yahweh to Solomon a second [time] just as he had appeared to him at Gibeon.
3 Bwana akamwambia: “Nimesikia dua na maombi uliyofanya mbele zangu, nimeliweka wakfu Hekalu hili ambalo umelijenga, kwa kuweka Jina langu humo milele. Macho yangu na moyo wangu utakuwa humo siku zote.
And he said Yahweh to him I have heard prayer your and supplication your which you have sought favor before me I have consecrated the house this which you have built by putting name my there until perpetuity and they will be eyes my and heart my there all the days.
4 “Kukuhusu wewe, kama ukienenda kwa unyofu wa moyo na uadilifu, kama baba yako Daudi alivyofanya na kutenda yote ninayoyaagiza kwa kutunza maagizo yangu na sheria,
And you if you will walk before me just as he walked David father your in integrity of heart and in uprightness by doing according to all that I have commanded you statutes my and judgments my you will keep.
5 nitakiimarisha kiti chako cha enzi juu ya Israeli milele kama nilivyomwahidi Daudi baba yako niliposema, ‘Hutakosa kamwe kuwa na mtu kwenye kiti cha enzi cha Israeli.’
And I will establish [the] throne of kingdom your over Israel for ever just as I spoke on David father your saying not it will be cut off to you a man from on [the] throne of Israel.
6 “Lakini kama ninyi au wana wenu mkigeukia mbali nami na kuziacha amri na maagizo yangu niliyowapa na kwenda kuitumikia miungu mingine na kuiabudu,
Certainly [if] you will turn back! you and descendants your from after me and not you will keep commandments my statutes my which I have set before you and you will walk and you will serve gods other and you will bow down to them.
7 basi nitakatilia mbali Israeli kutoka nchi niliyowapa, nami nitalikataa Hekalu hili nililolitakasa kwa ajili ya Jina langu. Ndipo Israeli itakuwa kitu cha kudharauliwa na watu na kuwa kitu cha kudhihakiwa miongoni mwa watu wote.
And I will cut off Israel from on [the] surface of the ground which I have given to them and the house which I have consecrated for name my I will cast out from on face my and it will become Israel a byword and a taunt among all the peoples.
8 Ingawa hekalu hili linavutia sasa, wote watakaolipita watashangaa na kudhihaki wakisema, ‘Kwa nini Bwana amefanya kitu kama hiki katika nchi hii na kwa Hekalu hili?’
And the house this it will be most high every [one who] passes by at it he will be appalled and he will hiss and people will say concerning what? did he do Yahweh thus to the land this and to the house this.
9 Watu watajibu, ‘Kwa sababu wamemwacha Bwana Mungu wao, aliyewatoa baba zao Misri, nao wamekumbatia miungu mingine, wakaiabudu na kuitumikia, ndiyo sababu Bwana ameyaleta maafa haya yote juu yao.’”
And they will say on that they forsook Yahweh God their who he brought out ancestors their from [the] land of Egypt and they took hold on gods other (and they bowed down *Q(K)*) to them and they served them there-fore he has brought Yahweh on them all the calamity this.
10 Miaka ishirini ilipopita, ambayo katika hiyo Solomoni alijenga majengo haya mawili, yaani Hekalu la Bwana na jumba la kifalme,
And it was from [the] end of twenty year[s] which he had built Solomon [the] two the houses [the] house of Yahweh and [the] house of the king.
11 Mfalme Solomoni akampa Hiramu mfalme wa Tiro miji ishirini katika Galilaya, kwa sababu Hiramu alikuwa amempatia mierezi yote, misunobari na dhahabu yote aliyohitaji.
Hiram [the] king of Tyre he had supported Solomon with wood of cedar and with wood of cypresses and with gold to all desire his then he gave the king Solomon to Hiram twenty citi[es] in [the] land of Galilee.
12 Lakini Hiramu alipotoka Tiro kwenda kuiona ile miji ambayo Solomoni alikuwa amempa, hakupendezwa nayo.
And he came out Hiram from Tyre to see the cities which he had given to him Solomon and not they were pleasing in view his.
13 Hiramu akauliza, “Hii ni miji ya namna gani uliyonipa, ndugu yangu?” Naye akaiita nchi ya Kabul, jina lililoko hadi leo.
And he said what? [are] the cities these which you have given to me O brother my and someone called them [the] land of Cabul until the day this.
14 Basi Hiramu alikuwa amempelekea mfalme talanta 120 za dhahabu.
And he had sent Hiram to the king one hundred and twenty talent[s] of gold.
15 Haya ni maelezo kuhusu kazi za kulazimishwa ambazo Mfalme Solomoni, alivyowafanyiza watu ili kulijenga hekalu la Bwana, na jumba lake la kifalme, na Milo, ukuta wa Yerusalemu, Hazori, Megido na Gezeri.
And this [is] [the] word of the forced labor which he raised - the king Solomon to build [the] house of Yahweh and own house his and the Millo and [the] wall of Jerusalem and Hazor and Megiddo and Gezer.
16 (Farao mfalme wa Misri alikuwa ameushambulia na kuuteka mji wa Gezeri. Alikuwa ameuchoma moto. Akawaua Wakanaani waliokuwa wakikaa humo na kisha kuutoa kwa binti yake, yaani mkewe Solomoni, kama zawadi ya arusi.
Pharaoh [the] king of Egypt he had gone up and he had captured Gezer and he had burned it with fire and the Canaanite[s] who was dwelling in the city he had killed and he had given it dowri to daughter his [the] wife of Solomon.
17 Solomoni akaujenga tena Gezeri.) Akajenga Beth-Horoni ya Chini,
And he rebuilt Solomon Gezer and Beth Horon lower.
18 akajenga Baalathi na Tamari kwenye jangwa katika eneo la nchi yake,
And Baalath and (Tadmor *Q(K)*) in the wilderness in the land.
19 vilevile miji ya ghala na miji kwa ajili ya magari yake na kwa ajili ya farasi wake: chochote alichotaka kujenga katika Yerusalemu, katika Lebanoni, na katika eneo yote aliyotawala.
And all [the] cities of storage which they belonged to Solomon and [the] cities of the chariotry and [the] cities of the horsemen and - [the] desire of Solomon which he desired to build in Jerusalem and in Lebanon and in all [the] land of dominion his.
20 Watu wote waliosalia kutoka kwa Waamori, Wahiti, Waperizi, Wahivi na Wayebusi (mataifa haya hayakuwa Waisraeli),
All the people which remained of the Amorite[s] the Hittite[s] the Perizzite[s] the Hivite[s] and the Jebusite[s] who not [were] of [the] people of Israel they.
21 yaani, wazao wao waliobakia katika nchi, ambao Waisraeli hawangeweza kuwaangamiza kabisa: hawa Solomoni akawalazimisha kuwa watumwa katika shokoa, kama ilivyo hadi leo.
Descendants their who they were left after them in the land whom not they were able [the] people of Israel to totally destroy them and he raised them Solomon to forced labor of laboring until the day this.
22 Lakini Solomoni hakumfanya yeyote wa Waisraeli kuwa mtumwa; wao ndio waliokuwa wapiganaji wake, maafisa wake wa serikali, maafisa wake, wakuu wake, majemadari wa jeshi wa magari yake ya vita na wapanda farasi.
And any of [the] people of Israel not he made Solomon a slave for they [were] [the] men of war and servants his and officials his and officers his and [the] commanders of chariotry his and horsemen his.
23 Pia walikuwa maafisa wakuu wasimamizi wa miradi ya Solomoni: maafisa 550 waliwasimamia watu waliofanya kazi.
These - [were] [the] leaders of the overseers who [were] over the work of Solomon fifty and five hundred who ruled over the people who were doing the work.
24 Baada ya binti Farao kuja kutoka Mji wa Daudi na kuingia jumba la kifalme ambalo Solomoni alikuwa amemjengea, akajenga Milo.
Only [the] daughter of Pharaoh she went up from [the] city of David to own house her which he had built for her then he built the Millo.
25 Solomoni akatoa dhabihu za kuteketezwa na sadaka za amani mara tatu kwa mwaka, juu ya madhabahu aliyokuwa amejengea kwa ajili ya Bwana, akifukiza uvumba mbele za Bwana pamoja na dhabihu hizo, hivyo kutimiza kanuni za hekalu.
And he offered up Solomon three times in the year burnt offerings and peace offerings on the altar which he had built for Yahweh and he made smoke with it which [was] before Yahweh and he completed the house.
26 Mfalme Solomoni pia akatengeneza pia meli huko Esion-Geberi, ambayo iko karibu na Elathi katika Edomu, kwenye ukingo wa Bahari ya Shamu.
And ship[s] he made the king Solomon at Ezion Geber which [is] with Elath on [the] shore of [the] sea of reed[s] in [the] land of Edom.
27 Naye Hiramu akawatuma watu wake; mabaharia walioijua bahari, kuhudumu katika hizo meli pamoja na watu wa Solomoni.
And he sent Hiram in the ship[s] servants his men of ships [who] knew the sea with [the] servants of Solomon.
28 Wakasafiri kwa bahari mpaka Ofiri na kurudi na talanta 420 za dhahabu, ambazo walimkabidhi Mfalme Solomoni.
And they went Ophir towards and they took from there gold four hundred and twenty talent[s] and they brought [it] to the king Solomon.
