1 Kings 9
1 Nígbà tí Solomoni sì parí kíkọ́ ilé Olúwa àti ààfin ọba, tí ó sì ti ṣe gbogbo nǹkan tí ó ń fẹ́ láti ṣe,
After Solomon had finished the Lord's Temple and the royal palace, having accomplished everything he'd wanted to do,
2 Olúwa sì farahàn Solomoni ní ìgbà kejì, bí ó ti farahàn án ní Gibeoni.
the Lord appeared to him a second time, as he had appeared to him at Gibeon.
3 Olúwa sì wí fún un pé, “Èmi ti gbọ́ àdúrà rẹ àti ẹ̀bẹ̀ rẹ tí ìwọ ti bẹ̀ níwájú mi, mo ti ya ilé yìí sí mímọ́, tí ìwọ ti kọ́, nípa fífi orúkọ mi síbẹ̀ títí láé. Ojú mi àti ọkàn mi yóò wà níbẹ̀ nígbà gbogbo.
The Lord told him, “I have heard your prayer and your request to me. I have dedicated this Temple you have built by placing my name on it forever; I will always watch over it and take care of it.
4 “Bí ìwọ bá rìn níwájú mi ní ọkàn òtítọ́ àti ìdúró ṣinṣin, bí i Dafidi baba rẹ ti rìn, kí o sì ṣe gbogbo èyí tí mo ti paláṣẹ fún ọ àti kí o sì pa àṣẹ mi àti òfin mi mọ́,
As for you, if you follow my ways as your father David did, doing everything I've told you to do, and if you keep my laws and regulations,
5 Èmi yóò fi ìdí ìtẹ́ ìjọba rẹ múlẹ̀ lórí Israẹli títí láé, bí mo ti ṣe ìlérí fún Dafidi baba rẹ nígbà tí mo wí pé, ‘Ìwọ kì yóò kùnà láti ní ọkùnrin kan lórí ìtẹ́ Israẹli.’
then I will make your throne secure forever. I made this agreement with your father David, telling him, ‘You will always have a descendant to rule over Israel.’
6 “Ṣùgbọ́n tí ìwọ tàbí àwọn ọmọ rẹ bá yípadà kúrò lọ́dọ̀ mi, tí ẹ kò sì pa òfin mi mọ́ àti àṣẹ mi tí mo ti fi fún ọ, tí ẹ sì lọ láti sin ọlọ́run mìíràn, tí ẹ sì ń sìn wọ́n,
But if you or your descendants turn away and do not keep the laws and the commandments I have given you, and if you go and serve and worship other gods,
7 nígbà náà ni èmi yóò ké Israẹli kúrò ní ilẹ̀ tí èmi fi fún wọn, èmi yóò sì kọ ilé yìí tí èmi ti yà sí mímọ́ fún orúkọ mi. Nígbà náà ni Israẹli yóò sì di òwe àti ìmúṣẹ̀sín láàrín gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè.
then I will cut Israel off from the land I have given them. I will banish from my presence this Temple I have dedicated to my honor, and I will make it an object lesson of ridicule among the nations.
8 Àti ilé yìí tí ó ga, ẹnu yóò sì ya olúkúlùkù ẹni tí ó kọjá lẹ́bàá rẹ̀, yóò sì pòṣé, wọn ó sì wí pé, ‘Èéṣe tí Olúwa fi ṣe irú nǹkan yìí sí ilẹ̀ yìí àti ilé yìí?’
This Temple will become a pile of rubble. All who pass by it will be appalled and will hiss, saying, ‘Why has the Lord acted in such a way to this land and this Temple?’
9 Àwọn ènìyàn yóò sì dáhùn wí pé, ‘Nítorí tí wọ́n ti kọ̀ Olúwa Ọlọ́run wọn sílẹ̀, tí ó mú àwọn baba wọn jáde láti Ejibiti wá, wọ́n sì ti gbá ọlọ́run mìíràn mú, wọ́n ń bọ wọ́n, wọ́n sì ń sìn wọ́n, ìdí nìyìí tí Olúwa ṣe mú gbogbo ìjàǹbá yìí wá sórí wọn.’”
The answer will come, ‘Because they abandoned the Lord their God, who brought their forefathers out of Egypt, and have embraced other gods, worshiping them and serving them. That's why the Lord has brought all this trouble upon them.’”
10 Lẹ́yìn ogún ọdún, nígbà tí Solomoni kọ́ ilé méjèèjì yìí tan: ilé Olúwa àti ààfin ọba.
It took twenty years for Solomon to construct the two buildings—the Temple of the Lord and his own palace. After this,
11 Solomoni ọba sì fi ogún ìlú ní Galili fún Hiramu ọba Tire, nítorí tí Hiramu ti bá a wá igi kedari àti igi firi àti wúrà gẹ́gẹ́ bí gbogbo ìfẹ́ rẹ̀.
King Solomon gave twenty towns in Galilee to Hiram king of Tyre, because Hiram had provided him with all the cedar and juniper and gold he wanted.
12 Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí Hiramu sì jáde láti Tire lọ wo ìlú tí Solomoni fi fún un, inú rẹ̀ kò sì dùn sí wọn.
But when Hiram went from Tyre to see the cities that Solomon had given him, he was not happy with them.
13 Ó sì wí pé, “Irú ìlú wo nìwọ̀nyí tí ìwọ fi fún mi, arákùnrin mi?” Ó sì pè wọ́n ní ilẹ̀ Kabulu títí fi di òní yìí.
“What are these towns you have given me, my brother?” asked Hiram. He called them the land of Cabul, the name they are known by to this day.
14 Hiramu sì ti fi ọgọ́fà tálẹ́ǹtì wúrà ránṣẹ́ sí ọba.
Even so, Hiram sent the king 120 talents of gold in payment.
15 Ìdí àwọn asìnrú ti Solomoni ọba kójọ ni èyí; láti kọ́ ilé Olúwa àti ààfin òun tìkára rẹ̀; Millo, odi Jerusalẹmu, Hasori, Megido àti Geseri.
Here is the account of the forced labor that King Solomon imposed to build the Lord's Temple, his own palace, the terraces, and the wall of Jerusalem, as well as Hazor, Megiddo, and Gezer.
16 Farao ọba Ejibiti sì ti kọlu Geseri, ó sì ti fi iná sun ún, ó sì pa àwọn ará Kenaani tí ń gbé ìlú náà, ó sì fi ta ọmọbìnrin rẹ̀, aya Solomoni lọ́rẹ.
Pharaoh, king of Egypt, had attacked and captured Gezer. He had set it on fire, killed the Canaanites living in the town. He had then given it as a wedding dowry to his daughter, Solomon's wife.
17 Solomoni sì tún Geseri kọ́, àti Beti-Horoni ìsàlẹ̀,
Solomon rebuilt Gezer and lower Beth-horon,
18 àti Baalati àti Tadmori ní aginjù, láàrín rẹ̀,
Baalath and Tamar in the wilderness, in the land of Judah,
19 àti gbogbo ìlú ìṣúra tí Solomoni ní, àti ìlú kẹ̀kẹ́ rẹ̀, àti ìlú fún àwọn ẹlẹ́ṣin rẹ̀, àti èyí tí ó ń fẹ́ láti kọ́ ní Jerusalẹmu, ní Lebanoni àti ní gbogbo ilẹ̀ ìjọba rẹ̀ tí ó ń ṣe àkóso.
and all of Solomon's towns for storage, and the towns for his chariots and for his horsemen, plus whatever Solomon wanted to build in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and throughout his entire kingdom.
20 Gbogbo ènìyàn tí ó kù nínú àwọn ará Amori ará Hiti, Peresi, Hifi àti Jebusi, àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí kì í ṣe ará Israẹli,
The descendants of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites (people who were not Israelites)
21 ìyẹn ni pé àwọn ọmọ wọn tí ó kù ní ilẹ̀ náà, tí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli kò le parun pátápátá, àwọn ni Solomoni bu iṣẹ́ ẹrú fún títí di òní yìí.
who remained in the land—those whom the Israelites were unable to destroy completely—were conscripted by Solomon to work as forced laborers, as they continue to do to this day.
22 Ṣùgbọ́n, Solomoni kò fi ẹnìkankan ṣe ẹrú nínú àwọn ọmọ Israẹli; àwọn ni ológun rẹ̀ àti àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀, àti àwọn ìjòyè rẹ̀, àti àwọn balógun rẹ̀, àti àwọn olórí kẹ̀kẹ́ rẹ̀ àti ti àwọn ẹlẹ́ṣin rẹ̀.
But Solomon did not enslave any of the Israelites. They were his soldiers, officials, commanders, captains, chariot commanders, and horsemen.
23 Àwọn sì tún ni àwọn olórí olùtọ́jú tí wọ́n wà lórí iṣẹ́ Solomoni, àádọ́ta dín lẹ́gbẹ̀ta, ní ń ṣe àkóso lórí àwọn ènìyàn tí ń ṣe iṣẹ́ náà.
They were also the chief officers in charge of Solomon's programs: 550 in command of the people who carried out the work.
24 Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí ọmọbìnrin Farao ti gòkè láti ìlú Dafidi wá sí ààfin tí Solomoni kọ́ fún un, nígbà náà ni ó kọ́ Millo.
Once Pharaoh's daughter had moved from the City of David to the palace that Solomon had built for her, he built the city terraces.
25 Nígbà mẹ́ta lọ́dún ni Solomoni ń rú ẹbọ sísun àti ẹbọ àlàáfíà lórí pẹpẹ tí ó tẹ́ fún Olúwa, ó sì sun tùràrí níwájú Olúwa pẹ̀lú wọn, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó parí ilé náà.
Three times each year Solomon sacrificed burnt offerings and friendship offerings on the altar he had built for the Lord, burning incense before the Lord with them, and so fulfilled what was required at the Temple.
26 Solomoni ọba sì túnṣe òwò ọkọ̀ ní Esioni-Geberi, tí ó wà ní ẹ̀bá Elati ní Edomu, létí Òkun Pupa.
King Solomon built a fleet of ships at Ezion-geber, which is near Eloth on the shore of the Red Sea, in the land of Edom.
27 Hiramu sì rán àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀, àwọn atukọ̀ tí ó mọ Òkun, pẹ̀lú àwọn ìránṣẹ́ Solomoni.
Hiram sent his sailors who knew the sea to serve in the fleet with Solomon's men.
28 Wọ́n sì dé Ofiri, wọ́n sì mú irinwó ó lé ogún tálẹ́ǹtì wúrà, tí wọ́n ti gbà wá fún Solomoni ọba.
They sailed to Ophir and brought back 420 talents of gold from there and delivered it to Solomon.
