1 Kings 5
1 And Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants unto Solomon; for he had heard that they had anointed him king in the room of his father; for Hiram was ever a lover of David.
Awo Kiramu kabaka w’e Ttuulo bwe yawulira nga Sulemaani bamufuseeko amafuta okuba kabaka, ng’asikidde kitaawe Dawudi, n’atuma ababaka be eri Sulemaani, kubanga yali mukwano gwa Dawudi.
2 And Solomon sent to Hiram, saying:
Sulemaani n’atumira Kiramu ng’ayogera nti,
3 'Thou knowest how that David my father could not build a house for the name of the LORD his God for the wars which were about him on every side, until the LORD put them under the soles of my feet.
“Omanyi nti, Olw’entalo ennyingi ezeetooloola Dawudi kitange, teyasobola kuzimbira linnya lya Mukama Katonda we yeekaalu, okutuusa Mukama lwe yamala okuteeka abalabe be wansi w’ebigere bye.
4 But now the LORD my God hath given me rest on every side; there is neither adversary, nor evil occurrence.
Naye kaakano Mukama Katonda wange awadde Isirayiri yonna emirembe ku njuyi zonna, era tewakyali mulabe wadde akabi ak’engeri yonna.
5 And, behold, I purpose to build a house for the name of the LORD my God, as the LORD spoke unto David my father, saying: Thy son, whom I will set upon thy throne in thy room, he shall build the house for My name.
Era, laba, nsuubira okuzimbira Erinnya lya Mukama Katonda wange yeekaalu, nga Mukama bwe yagamba Dawudi kitange, bwe yayogera nti, ‘Mutabani wo gwe nditeeka ku ntebe ey’obwakabaka mu kifo kyo, yalizimbira Erinnya lyange yeekaalu.’
6 Now therefore command thou that they hew me cedar-trees out of Lebanon; and my servants shall be with thy servants; and I will give thee hire for thy servants according to all that thou shalt say; for thou knowest that there is not among us any that hath skill to hew timber like unto the Zidonians.'
“Noolwekyo lagira basajja bo bantemere emivule gya Lebanooni. Abaddu bange banaakoleranga wamu n’abaddu bo, era nakuweerezanga empeera yonna, gy’olinsaba olw’abaddu bo. Omanyi nga ku ffe tekuli n’omu alina magezi kutema miti okwenkana ab’e Sidoni.”
7 And it came to pass, when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly, and said: 'Blessed be the LORD this day, who hath given unto David a wise son over this great people.'
Awo Kiramu bwe yawulira obubaka bwa Sulemaani, n’asanyuka nnyo era n’ayogera nti, “Mukama yeebazibwe, kubanga awadde Dawudi omwana ow’amagezi okufuga eggwanga lino eddene.”
8 And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying: 'I have heard that which thou hast sent unto me; I will do all thy desire concerning timber of cedar, and concerning timber of cypress.
Awo Kiramu n’atumira Sulemaani ng’ayogera nti, “Obubaka bwe wampeereza mbufunye, era nnaakola by’oyagala byonna eby’emiti egy’emivule n’emiti egy’emiberosi.
9 My servants shall bring them down from Lebanon unto the sea; and I will make them into rafts to go by sea unto the place that thou shalt appoint me, and will cause them to be broken up there, and thou shalt receive them; and thou shalt accomplish my desire, in giving food for my household.'
Basajja bange baligiggya mu Lebanooni ne bagiserengesa ku nnyanja, era ndigisengeka ng’ebitindiro okuyita ku nnyanja okugituusa mu kifo ky’olindaga. Nga gituuse eyo ndiragira ne bagisumulula, ne gikuweebwa. Kye njagala okolere ab’omu nnyumba yange, kwe kubawanga emmere.”
10 So Hiram gave Solomon timber of cedar and timber of cypress according to all his desire.
Awo Kiramu n’awa Sulemaani emiti gy’emivule n’emiti egy’emiberosi nga bwe yayagala,
11 And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand measures of wheat for food to his household, and twenty measures of beaten oil; thus gave Solomon to Hiram year by year.
ne Sulemaani n’amuwanga ebigero by’eŋŋaano kilo enkumi nnya mu bina eby’emmere ey’ennyumba ye, n’amafuta ag’omuzeeyituuni ebigero amakumi abiri, ze kilo nga bina mu ana buli mwaka. Kino Sulemaani yakikoleranga Kiramu buli mwaka.
12 And the LORD gave Solomon wisdom, as He promised him; and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon; and they two made a league together.
Mukama n’awa Sulemaani amagezi, nga bwe yamusuubiza. Ne waba emirembe wakati wa Kiramu ne Sulemaani, n’okulagaana ne balagaana endagaano bombi.
13 And king Solomon raised a levy out of all Israel; and the levy was thirty thousand men.
Kabaka Sulemaani n’akuŋŋaanya abakozi mu Isirayiri yonna, ne bawera abasajja emitwalo esatu.
14 And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by courses: a month they were in Lebanon, and two months at home; and Adoniram was over the levy.
N’abaweerezanga e Lebanooni mu mpalo; buli luwalo nga lumala omwezi gumu e Lebanooni n’emyezi ebiri ewaabwe, era Adoniraamu ye yabavunaanyizibwanga.
15 And Solomon had threescore and ten thousand that bore burdens, and fourscore thousand that were hewers in the mountains;
Sulemaani yalina abantu emitwalo musanvu abaasitulanga emigugu, n’emitwalo munaana abaatemanga amayinja ku nsozi,
16 besides Solomon's chief officers that were over the work, three thousand and three hundred, who bore rule over the people that wrought in the work.
ate n’abaami be enkumi ssatu mu bisatu abaalabiriranga omulimu n’okulagirira abakozi.
17 And the king commanded, and they quarried great stones, costly stones, to lay the foundation of the house with hewn stone.
Kabaka n’alagira bateme amayinja amanene ddala nga bagaggya mu kirombe ky’amayinja ag’omuwendo, okuzimba emisingi gya yeekaalu n’amayinja amateme obulungi.
18 And Solomon's builders and Hiram's builders and the Gebalites did fashion them, and prepared the timber and the stones to build the house.
Abaweesi ba Sulemaani n’aba Kiramu, wamu n’abasajja ba Gebali ne balongoosa n’okutegeka ne bategeka emiti n’amayinja eby’okuzimba yeekaalu.
