1 Wafalme 9

1 Solomoni alipomaliza kujenga Hekalu la Bwana na jumba la kifalme, alipokwisha kufanya yote aliyotaka kufanya,

and to be like/as to end: finish Solomon to/for to build [obj] house: temple LORD and [obj] house: home [the] king and [obj] all desire Solomon which to delight in to/for to make

2 Bwana akamtokea mara ya pili, kama alivyokuwa amemtokea huko Gibeoni.

and to see: see LORD to(wards) Solomon second like/as as which to see: see to(wards) him in/on/with 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 to say LORD to(wards) him to hear: hear [obj] prayer your and [obj] supplication your which be gracious to/for face: before my to consecrate: consecate [obj] [the] house: home [the] this which to build to/for to set: put name my there till forever: enduring and to be eye my and heart my there all [the] day

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(m. s.) if to go: walk to/for face: before my like/as as which to go: walk David father your in/on/with integrity heart and in/on/with uprightness to/for to make: do like/as all which to command you statute: decree my and justice: judgement my to keep: obey

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 to arise: establish [obj] throne kingdom your upon Israel to/for forever: enduring like/as as which to speak: promise upon David father your to/for to say not to cut: lack to/for you man from upon throne 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,

if to return: turn back to return: turn back [emph?] you(m. p.) and son: descendant/people your from after me and not to keep: obey commandment my statute my which to give: put to/for face: before your and to go: went and to serve: minister God another and to bow to/for 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 to cut: eliminate [obj] Israel from upon face [the] land: soil which to give: give to/for them and [obj] [the] house: home which to consecrate: consecate to/for name my to send: depart from upon face my and to be Israel to/for proverb and to/for taunt in/on/with all [the] people

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: home [the] this to be high all to pass upon him be desolate: appalled and to whistle and to say upon what? to make: do LORD thus to/for land: country/planet [the] this and to/for house: home [the] 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 to say upon which to leave: forsake [obj] LORD God their which to come out: send [obj] father their from land: country/planet Egypt and to strengthen: hold in/on/with God another (and to bow *Q(K)*) to/for them and to serve: minister them upon so to come (in): bring LORD upon them [obj] all [the] distress: harm [the] this

10 Miaka ishirini ilipopita, ambayo katika hiyo Solomoni alijenga majengo haya mawili, yaani Hekalu la Bwana na jumba la kifalme,

and to be from end twenty year which to build Solomon [obj] two [the] house: home [obj] house: temple LORD and [obj] house: home [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 king Tyre to lift: bear [obj] Solomon in/on/with tree: wood cedar and in/on/with tree: wood cypress and in/on/with gold to/for all pleasure his then to give: give [the] king Solomon to/for Hiram twenty city in/on/with land: country/planet [the] Galilee

12 Lakini Hiramu alipotoka Tiro kwenda kuiona ile miji ambayo Solomoni alikuwa amempa, hakupendezwa nayo.

and to come out: come Hiram from Tyre to/for to see: see [obj] [the] city which to give: give to/for him Solomon and not to smooth in/on/with eye: appearance his

13 Hiramu akauliza, “Hii ni miji ya namna gani uliyonipa, ndugu yangu?” Naye akaiita nchi ya Kabul, jina lililoko hadi leo.

and to say what? [the] city [the] these which to give: give to/for me brother: compatriot my and to call: call by to/for them land: country/planet Cabul till [the] day: today [the] this

14 Basi Hiramu alikuwa amempelekea mfalme talanta 120 za dhahabu.

and to send: depart Hiram to/for king hundred and twenty talent 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 word: because [the] taskworker which to ascend: establish [the] king Solomon to/for to build [obj] house: temple LORD and [obj] house: home his and [obj] [the] Millo and [obj] wall Jerusalem and [obj] Hazor and [obj] Megiddo and [obj] 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 king Egypt to ascend: rise and to capture [obj] Gezer and to burn her in/on/with fire and [obj] [the] Canaanite [the] to dwell in/on/with city to kill and to give: give her parting gift to/for daughter his woman: wife Solomon

17 Solomoni akaujenga tena Gezeri.) Akajenga Beth-Horoni ya Chini,

and to build Solomon [obj] Gezer and [obj] (Lower) Beth-horon (Lower) Beth-horon Lower (Beth Horon)

18 akajenga Baalathi na Tamari kwenye jangwa katika eneo la nchi yake,

and [obj] Baalath and [obj] (Tadmor *Q(K)*) in/on/with wilderness in/on/with land: country/planet

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 [obj] all city [the] storage which to be to/for Solomon and [obj] city [the] chariot and [obj] city [the] horseman and [obj] desire Solomon which to desire to/for to build in/on/with Jerusalem and in/on/with Lebanon and in/on/with all land: country/planet dominion his

20 Watu wote waliosalia kutoka kwa Waamori, Wahiti, Waperizi, Wahivi na Wayebusi (mataifa haya hayakuwa Waisraeli),

all [the] people [the] to remain from [the] Amorite [the] Hittite [the] Perizzite [the] Hivite and [the] Jebusite which not from son: descendant/people Israel they(masc.)

21 yaani, wazao wao waliobakia katika nchi, ambao Waisraeli hawangeweza kuwaangamiza kabisa: hawa Solomoni akawalazimisha kuwa watumwa katika shokoa, kama ilivyo hadi leo.

son: descendant/people their which to remain after them in/on/with land: country/planet which not be able son: descendant/people Israel to/for to devote/destroy them and to ascend: establish them Solomon to/for taskworker to serve: labour till [the] day: today [the] 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 from son: descendant/people Israel not to give: make Solomon servant/slave for they(masc.) human [the] battle and servant/slave his and ruler his and officer his and ruler chariot his and horseman his

23 Pia walikuwa maafisa wakuu wasimamizi wa miradi ya Solomoni: maafisa 550 waliwasimamia watu waliofanya kazi.

these ruler [the] to stand which upon [the] work to/for Solomon fifty and five hundred [the] to rule in/on/with people [the] to make: do in/on/with work

24 Baada ya binti Farao kuja kutoka Mji wa Daudi na kuingia jumba la kifalme ambalo Solomoni alikuwa amemjengea, akajenga Milo.

surely daughter Pharaoh to ascend: rise from city David to(wards) house: home her which to build to/for her then to build [obj] [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 to ascend: offer up Solomon three beat in/on/with year burnt offering and peace offering upon [the] altar which to build to/for LORD and to offer: offer with him which to/for face: before LORD and to complete [obj] [the] house: home

26 Mfalme Solomoni pia akatengeneza pia meli huko Esion-Geberi, ambayo iko karibu na Elathi katika Edomu, kwenye ukingo wa Bahari ya Shamu.

and fleet to make [the] king Solomon in/on/with Ezion-geber Ezion-geber which with Eloth upon lip: shore sea Red (Sea) in/on/with land: country/planet Edom

27 Naye Hiramu akawatuma watu wake; mabaharia walioijua bahari, kuhudumu katika hizo meli pamoja na watu wa Solomoni.

and to send: depart Hiram in/on/with fleet [obj] servant/slave his human fleet to know [the] sea with servant/slave Solomon

28 Wakasafiri kwa bahari mpaka Ofiri na kurudi na talanta 420 za dhahabu, ambazo walimkabidhi Mfalme Solomoni.

and to come (in): come Ophir [to] and to take: bring from there gold four hundred and twenty talent and to come (in): bring to(wards) [the] king Solomon
