1 Ahemfo 5
1 Na Tirohene Huram yɛ ɔhene Dawid adamfo nokwafoɔ, enti ɛberɛ a ɔtee sɛ wɔasra Salomo ngo sɛ ɔhene sɛ ɔnni nʼagya Dawid adeɛ no, ɔsomaa nʼasomafoɔ kɔɔ Salomo nkyɛn, kɔmaa no tiri nkwa.
UHiramu inkosi yeTire wasethuma inceku zakhe kuSolomoni, ngoba wayezwile ukuthi bamgcobile ukuthi abe yinkosi esikhundleni sikayise, ngoba uHiramu wayemthanda uDavida insuku zonke.
2 Salomo too saa nkra yi sɛ wɔmfa nkɔma Huram sɛ,
USolomoni wasethumela kuHiramu esithi:
3 “Wo ara wonim sɛ mʼagya Dawid antumi ansi asɔredan anhyɛ Awurade ne Onyankopɔn din animuonyam, ɛsiane akokoakoko a ɔne aman a wɔatwa ne ho ahyia no diiɛ enti. Wantumi anyɛ kɔsii sɛ Awurade de nʼatamfoɔ hyɛɛ ne nan ase.
Wena uyazi ukuthi uDavida ubaba wayengelakwakhela ibizo leNkosi uNkulunkulu wakhe indlu ngenxa yezimpi ezazimzingelezele, iNkosi yaze yazifaka ngaphansi kwengaphansi yenyawo zakhe.
4 Nanso, seesei, Awurade, me Onyankopɔn ama me ahotɔ wɔ afa nyinaa, menni ɔtamfoɔ biara na biribiara rekɔ yie.
Kodwa khathesi iNkosi uNkulunkulu inginikile ukuphumula inhlangothi zonke; kakulasitha, njalo kakulabubi obenzakalayo.
5 Ne saa enti, mayɛ adwene sɛ mɛsi asɔredan ama Awurade, me Onyankopɔn sɛdeɛ Awurade ka kyerɛɛ mʼagya Dawid sɛ me na mɛyɛ no. ‘Wo ba a mede no bɛtena ahennwa so, asi wʼananmu no bɛsi asɔredan ahyɛ me din animuonyam.’
Khangela-ke, ngizimisele ukwakhela ibizo leNkosi uNkulunkulu wami indlu njengokutsho kweNkosi kuDavida ubaba isithi: Indodana yakho engizayibeka esihlalweni sakho sobukhosi esikhundleni sakho, yona izakwakhela ibizo lami indlu.
6 “Ɛno enti, hyɛ ma wɔnkɔtwa ntweneduro a ɛfiri Lebanon mmrɛ me. Me mmarima ne wo mmarima bɛyɛ adwuma, na akatua biara a wobɛgye ama wɔn no, mɛtua. Wo ara wonim sɛ, obiara nkyɛn Sidonfoɔ wɔ nnuabuo mu.”
Ngakho-ke laya ukuthi bangigamulele imisedari eLebhanoni, lenceku zami zizakuba lenceku zakho; leholo lenceku zakho ngizakunika njengakho konke okutshoyo. Ngoba wena uyakwazi ukuthi kakho phakathi kwethu okwaziyo ukugamula izihlahla njengabeSidoni.
7 Ɛberɛ a Huram tee Salomo nkra no, nʼani sɔɔ yie kaa sɛ, “Ayɛyie nka Awurade ɛnnɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, wama Dawid ɔba nyansafoɔ sɛ ɔmmɛdi saa ɔman kɛseɛ Israel yi so.”
Kwasekusithi uHiramu esizwa amazwi kaSolomoni wathokoza kakhulu wathi: Kayibusiswe iNkosi lamuhla emnikileyo uDavida indodana ehlakaniphileyo phezu kwalesisizwe esikhulu.
8 Enti, Huram soma maa wɔde saa nkra yi kɔmaa Salomo sɛ, “Me nsa aka nkra a wode brɛɛ me no, na mɛyɛ wʼabisadeɛ a ɛfa nnua no ho no. Mɛtumi de ntweneduro nnua ne pepeaa nnua abrɛ wo.
UHiramu wasethumela kuSolomoni esithi: Ngizwile lokho ongithumele ngakho; mina ngizakwenza zonke iziloyiso zakho mayelana lezigodo zemisedari lamayelana lezigodo zamafiri.
9 Mʼasomfoɔ de nnua no bɛfiri Lebanon mmepɔ so aba Po Kɛseɛ so, na wɔakyekyere abobɔ mu sɛ mpata. Afei wɔde bɛfa nsuo no ani de akɔ baabiara wobɛkyerɛ. Ɛno akyi yɛbɛsane mu, na yɛde nnua no abrɛ wo. Wode aduane a me fiefoɔ bɛdi bɛtua me ka.”
Inceku zami zizazehlisa zisuka eLebhanoni zisiya elwandle; mina-ke ngizazenza okundendayo olwandle ukuya endaweni ozayiqamba kimi, ngizithukulule lapho; wena-ke uzazithathela khona, wena uzakwenza isifiso sami ngokupha abendlu yami ukudla.
10 Enti, Huram maa Salomo ntweneduro ne pepeaa nnua sɛdeɛ ɔpɛ.
Ngakho uHiramu wamnika uSolomoni izigodo zemisedari lezigodo zamafiri njengokwezifiso zakhe zonke.
11 Na Salomo maa Huram atokoɔ afeduane akatua tɔno 3,600 de maa ne fidua ne ngo kronkron galɔn 120,000.
LoSolomoni wanika uHiramu amakhori engqoloyi azinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amathathu lambili, ukudla kwabendlu yakhe, lamakhori angamatshumi amabili amafutha akhanyiweyo. Ngokunjalo uSolomoni wamupha uHiramu iminyaka ngeminyaka.
12 Na Awurade maa Salomo nyansa a emu dɔ, sɛdeɛ ɔhyɛɛ no bɔ no. Na Huram ne Salomo yɛɛ asomdwoeɛ apam.
INkosi yasimnika uSolomoni inhlakanipho njengokutsho kwayo kuye. Kwasekusiba khona ukuthula phakathi kukaHiramu loSolomoni; benza isivumelwano bobabili.
13 Na ɔhene Salomo twerɛɛ adwumayɛfoɔ ɔpeduasa a wɔfiri Israel nyinaa din.
Inkosi uSolomoni yabutha izibhalwa kuIsrayeli wonke; lezibhalwa zazingabantu abazinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amathathu.
14 Ɔsomaa wɔn akuakuo kɔɔ Lebanon, bosome biara mu, nnipa ɔpedu kɔ, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, ɔbarima baako biara bɛdi bosome baako wɔ Lebanon, na wadi abosome mmienu wɔ efie. Adoniram na na ɔhwɛ saa adwumayɛfoɔ yi so.
Yasibathuma eLebhanoni, abazinkulungwane ezilitshumi ngenyanga ngamazopho, inyanga beseLebhanoni, inyanga ezimbili besekhaya. LoAdoniramu wayephezu kwezibhalwa.
15 Salomo nso faa nnesoasoafoɔ ɔpeduɔson; faa abopaefoɔ ɔpeduɔwɔtwe firii bepɔ asase no so
Futhi uSolomoni wayelabayizinkulungwane ezingamatshumi ayisikhombisa abathwala imithwalo, lababazi abazinkulungwane ezingamatshumi ayisificaminwembili ezintabeni,
16 ne wɔn so sohwɛfoɔ mpem ahasa ne ahansia a, wɔbɛhwɛ adwuma no so.
ngaphandle kwezinduna zabaphathi bakaSolomoni, ababephethe umsebenzi, izinkulungwane ezintathu lamakhulu amathathu, ezazibusa abantu ababesenza umsebenzi.
17 Ɔhene no hyɛeɛ ma abotwafoɔ no paeeɛ, twaa aboɔdenboɔ no, yiyii ho sɛdeɛ wɔde bɛhyɛ Asɔredan no fapem.
Inkosi yasilaya, baletha amatshe amakhulu, amatshe aligugu, okubeka isisekelo sendlu, amatshe abaziweyo.
18 Mmarima a wɔfiri Gebal kuropɔn mu boaa Salomo ne Huram adansifoɔ no, ma wɔsiesiee nnua ne aboɔ no maa Asɔredan no sie.
Abakhi bakaSolomoni labakhi bakaHiramu lamaGebhali basebebaza, balungisa izigodo lamatshe ukwakha indlu.
