1 Wafalme 9
1 Sulemani alipomaliza kulijenga hekalu la BWANA, na ikulu ya mfalme, na baada ya kukamilisha vyote alivyokusudia 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 alionekana kwa Sulemani kwa mara ya pili, kama alivyoonekana kwake kule Gibeoni.
And he appeared Yahweh to Solomon a second [time] just as he had appeared to him at Gibeon.
3 Na BWANA akamwambia, “Nimeyasikia maombi yako na dua zako ambazo umeniomba. Nimeitakasa nyumba hii ambayo umeijenga, kwa ajili yangu, ili niweke jina langu humo milele. Macho yangu na moyo wangu yatakuwa humo kwa nyakati 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 Lakini pia na wewe, kama utatembea mbele zangu kama Daudi baba yako alivyotembea kwa haki na unyofu katika moyo wako, ukitii yote niliyokuamuru na kuyashika maagizo na sheria zangu,
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 ndipo nitakapoimarisha kiti cha enzi kwa Israeli milele, kama nilivyomwahidi baba yako Daudi, nikiseama, 'uzao wako hautaondoka katika 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 utageuka, wewe au watoto wako, na kutozishika amri zangu na maagizo yangu ambayo nimeyaweka mbele zako, na kama utaenda kuabudu miungu mingine na kuisujidia,
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 nitaikatilia mbali Israeli kutoka katika ardhi niliyowapa; na nyumba hii niliyoitakasa kwa jina langu, nitaitupilia mbali na macho yangu, na Israeli itakuwa mfano wa kukejeliwa na kitu cha kutusiwa katika mataifa yote.
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 Ijapokuwa hekalu hili limetukuka sasa, kila mtu atakayepita pembeni yake atasituka na kuzoomea. Watajiuliza, 'Kwa nini BWANA amefanya hili katika chi hii na kwa nyumba hii?'
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 Na wengine watajibu, 'Ni kwa sababu walimwacha BWANA, Mungu wao, ambaye aliwaleta mababu zao toka Misri, na sasa wamegeukia miungu mingine ambayo wameiinamia na kuisujudu. Hiyo ndiyo sababu BWANA amewaletea majanga haya yote.”
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 Ilitokea mwishoni mwa miaka ishirini, Sulemani alikuwa amemaliza kuyajenga majengo yote mawili, hekalu la BWANA na ikulu ya mfalme.
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 Basi Hiramu, mfalme wa Tiro, alikuwa amemletea Sulemani mbao za mierezi na miboreshi, pamoa na dhahabu; vitu vyote ambavyo Sulemani alitamani. Kwa hiyo mfalme Sulemani akampatia Hiramu miji ishirini huko Galilaya.
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 Hiramu akaja kutoka Tiro kuiona ile miji ambayo Sulemani alikuwa amempatia, lakini 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 Kwa hiyo Hiramu akasema, “Ndugu yangu, ni miji gani hii uliynipatia? Hiramu akaiita nchi ya Kabuli mpaka 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 Hiramu alikuwa amemtumia mfalme tani nne za dhahabu.
And he had sent Hiram to the king one hundred and twenty talent[s] of gold.
15 Vifuatavyo ndivyo vigezo ambavyo mfalme Sulemani aliweka: ili kulijenga hekalu la BWANA na ikulu yake, kuijenga Milo na ukuta wa Yerusalemu, na Hazori, Megido, na Gezari.
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 ameenda kuitwaa Gezeri, akaichoma moto, na kuwaua Wakanaani katika mji. Kisha Farao akampatia binti yake ule mji, mke wa Sulemani kuwa 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 Kwa hiyo Sulemani akaijenga Gezeri na Bethi Horoni ya Loweri,
And he rebuilt Solomon Gezer and Beth Horon lower.
18 Baalathi na Tamari jangwani katika nchi ya Yuda,
And Baalath and (Tadmor *Q(K)*) in the wilderness in the land.
19 na miji yote ya hazina yote iliyokuwa yake, na miji ya magari yake, na miji ya wapanda farasi wake, na hata kama alipenda kuijenga kwa ajili ya fahari yake kule Yerusalemu, Lebanoni, na katika nchi yote kwenye utawala wake.
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 Na kwa watu wote waliokuwa wamesalia wa Waamori, Wahiti, Waperezi, Wahivi, na Yebu, ambao hawakuwa 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 na uzao wao waliokuwa wamesalia baada yao katika nchi, ambao Waisraeli hawakuweza kuwaangamiza kabisa - Sulemani akawafanya kuwa vibarua, ambao wako hata 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 Hata hivyo, Sulemani hakuwafanya kuwa shokoa watu wa Israeli. Badala yake, walifanyika kuwa wanajeshi wake na watumishi wake, maakida wake, na wakuu wake, na majemedari wake na wapanda farasi wake.
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 Hawa ndio waliokuwa maakida wakuu waliokuwa wakiwasimamia kazi za Sulemani, watu 550, walikuwa wasimamizi wa watu waliokuwa wakifanya 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 Binti wa Farao alihama kutoka mji wa Daudi kwenda kwenye ile nyumba ambayo Sulemani alimjengea. Baadaye, Sulemani akaijenga 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 Mara tatu kwa kila mwaka Sulemani alitoa sadaka za kuteketezwa na sadaka za amani katika madhabahu ambayo alimjengea BWANA, akifukiza uvumba pamoja nazo juu ya madhabahu ilyokuwa mbele ya BWANA. Kwa hiyo akalimalizia hekalu na sasa alikuwa akilitumia.
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 Tena Sulemani alitengeneza merikebu kule Ezioni Geberi, ambayo iko karibu na Elathi katika ufukwe wa bahari ya shamu, katika nchi ya Edomu.
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 Hiramu alituma watumishi kwenye merikebu ya Sulemani, wanamaji wanaoijua bahari, pamoja na watumishi wake Sulemani.
And he sent Hiram in the ship[s] servants his men of ships [who] knew the sea with [the] servants of Solomon.
28 Walikwenda kwa Ofri pamoja na watumishi wa Sulemani. Kutoka huko walileta takribani tani 14. 5 za dhahabu kwa Sulemani.
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.
