< 1 Kings 5 >

1 Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants to Solomon, for he had heard that they had anointed him king in the place of his father, and Hiram had always loved David.
Tokosra Hiram lun acn Tyre el nuna mwet kawuk lal David, ac ke el lohng lah Solomon el aolul David, papa tumal, in tokosra, na el supwala mwet kacto aolyal nu yorol.
2 Solomon sent to Hiram, saying,
Na Solomon el supwala kas inge nu sel Hiram:
3 “You know that David my father could not build a house for the name of the LORD his God because of the wars which were around him on every side, until the LORD put his enemies under the soles of his feet.
“Kom etu lah ke sripen mweun puspis ma David, papa tumuk, el tuh oru lain mwet lokoalok in facl ma raunella, pwanang el tuh tia ku in musai sie lohm alu nu sin LEUM GOD lal, nwe ke na LEUM GOD El sang elan kutangla mwet lokoalok lal nukewa.
4 But now the LORD my God has given me rest on every side. There is no enemy and no evil occurrence.
Tuh pa inge LEUM GOD luk El ase misla nu sik yurin mutunfacl su rauniyula. Wangin mwet lokoalok luk, pwanang wangin mwe fosrnga nu sik.
5 Behold, I intend to build a house for the name of the LORD my God, as the LORD spoke to David my father, saying, ‘Your son, whom I will set on your throne in your place shall build the house for my name.’
LEUM GOD El tuh wuleang nu sel David, papa tumuk, ac fahk, ‘Wen nutum, su nga ac fah srisrngiya in tokosra aol kom, pa ac fah musai sie tempul nu sik.’ Ac inge nga sulela nga in musaela tempul se inge tuh in iwen alu nu sin LEUM GOD luk.
6 Now therefore command that cedar trees be cut for me out of Lebanon. My servants will be with your servants; and I will give you wages for your servants according to all that you say. For you know that there is nobody among us who knows how to cut timber like the Sidonians.”
Ke ma inge, kom supwala mwet lom an nu Lebanon in pakiya kutu sak cedar ah luk. Mwet luk ac welulos orekma, ac nga ac moli mwet lom ingan ke lupa na kom fahk an. Kom etu lah mwet luk inge tia etu pakpuk sak oana mwet lom ingan.”
7 When Hiram heard the words of Solomon, he rejoiced greatly, and said, “Blessed is the LORD today, who has given to David a wise son to rule over this great people.”
Hiram el arulana insewowo ke el lohng kas lal Solomon, ac el fahk, “Kaksakin LEUM GOD misenge ke El sang nu sel David wen na lalmwetmet se natul, in aolul tokosra fin mutunfacl lulap se ingan!”
8 Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, “I have heard the message which you have sent to me. I will do all your desire concerning timber of cedar, and concerning cypress timber.
Na Hiram el supwala kas inge nu sel Solomon: “Nga eis tari kas lom, ac nga akola in oru ma kom siyuk an. Nga ac srukak sak cedar ac sak pine.
9 My servants will bring them down from Lebanon to the sea. I will make them into rafts to go by sea to the place that you specify to me, and will cause them to be broken up there, and you will receive them. You will accomplish my desire, in giving food for my household.”
Mwet luk uh ac usya sak inge Lebanon lac nu wekof ah, ac kapreni nu sie in ku in pakinyuk nu ke acn kom sulela an. Fin sun acn ingan, na mwet luk uh ac tulalik ac mwet lom an fah fosrngakin. Ac nu sum, nga lungse kom in kite mwet luk inge mongo.”
10 So Hiram gave Solomon cedar timber and cypress timber according to all his desire.
Ouinge Hiram el supwala nu sel Solomon sak cedar ac sak pine nukewa ma el enenu.
11 Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand cors of wheat for food to his household, and twenty cors of pure oil. Solomon gave this to Hiram year by year.
Ac Solomon el sang nu sel Hiram million akosr paun in wheat, ac siofok singoul limekosr tausin gallon in oil in olive nasnas ke yac nukewa, in sang kite mwet lal.
12 The LORD gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him. There was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and the two of them made a treaty together.
LEUM GOD El sang lalmwetmet nu sel Solomon, oana ke El wuleang nu sel. Oasr misla inmasrlol Hiram ac Solomon, ac eltal orala sie wulela na ku inmasrloltal.
13 King Solomon raised a levy out of all Israel; and the levy was thirty thousand men.
Tokosra Solomon el orani mukul tolngoul tausin liki acn Israel nufon elan kumakin ke sap ku lal,
14 He sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by courses: for a month they were in Lebanon, and two months at home; and Adoniram was over the men subject to forced labor.
ac eisalang Adoniram elan mwet kol lalos. El kitalik mwet inge nu ke u tolu, mwet singoul tausin ke kais sie u, ac kais sie u inge ac muta in acn Lebanon ke malem se, ac malem luo in acn selos.
15 Solomon had seventy thousand who bore burdens, and eighty thousand who were stone cutters in the mountains,
Oasr pac mwet oalngoul tausin lal Solomon muta uten eol uh orekma ke tufahl eot, ac mwet itngoul tausin mwe utuk.
16 besides Solomon’s chief officers who were over the work: three thousand three hundred who ruled over the people who labored in the work.
Solomon el srela mwet tolu tausin tolfoko in liyalosyang ac fahk ma elos in oru.
17 The king commanded, and they cut out large stones, costly stones, to lay the foundation of the house with worked stone.
Ke sap lal Tokosra Solomon, elos taflela eot lulap na wowo nu ke pwelung in Tempul uh.
18 Solomon’s builders and Hiram’s builders and the Gebalites cut them, and prepared the timber and the stones to build the house.
Mwet orekma lal Solomon ac Hiram, ac mwet su tuku liki siti Gebal, elos akoela pac eot ac ipinsak in musai Tempul.
