1And 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; for Hiram always loved David.
1 Kala Tir bonkoono Hiram na nga tamyaŋ donton Suleymanu do, zama nga maa i n'a didiji bonkooni a baabo nango ra, zama Hiram wo Dawda baako no duumi.
2And Solomon sent to Hiram, saying,
2 Suleymanu binde donton Hiram do ka ne:
3Thou knowest that David my father could not build a house unto the name of Jehovah his God, because of the wars which were about him on every side, until Jehovah put them under the soles of his feet.
3 «Ni bay kaŋ ay baaba Dawda mana du ka windi cina Rabbi nga Irikoyo maa se, wongey kaŋ yaŋ n'a windi kuray kulu sabbay se, hala Rabbi n'i kulu daŋ a mayra cire.
4But now Jehovah my God has given me rest on every side: there is neither adversary nor evil event.
4 Amma sohõ Rabbi ay Irikoyo n'ay no fulanzamay nangey kulu. Ay sinda ibare, balaaw mo si no kaŋ zumbu.
5And behold, I purpose to build a house unto the name of Jehovah my God, as Jehovah spoke to David my father saying, Thy son, whom I will set upon thy throne in thy stead, he shall build a house unto my name.
5 A go mo, ay go ga ne ay ga windi cina Rabbi ay Irikoyo maa sabbay se, sanda mate kaŋ cine Rabbi na sanni te ay baaba Dawda se ka ne: ‹Ni izo kaŋ ay ga daŋ karga boŋ ni nango ra, nga no ga windo cina ay maa sabbay se.›
6And now command 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 are experienced in cutting timber like to the Zidonians.
6 Sohõ binde, kala ni ma lordi ka ne i ma sedre tuuri nyayaŋ beeri Liban ra ka kande ay se. Ay tamey mo ga goro ni tamey banda. Ay ga ni tamey sufuray nooro no mate kaŋ ni ci kulu. Zama ni bay kaŋ iri do sinda boro kaŋ ga waani tuuri beeriyaŋ sanda Zidonancey cine.»
7And it came to pass when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly, and said, Blessed be Jehovah this day, who has given to David a wise son over this great people.
7 A ciya binde, waato kaŋ Hiram maa Suleymanu sanney, a farhã gumo ka ne: «Hunkuna i ma Rabbi sifa, nga kaŋ na Dawda no ize laakalkooni dumi bambata wo boŋ.»
8And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, I have heard the things which thou sentest to me for: I will do all thy desire concerning timber of cedar, and concerning timber of cypress.
8 Hiram ye ka donton Suleymanu gaa koyne ka ne: «Ay maa sanney kaŋ ni donton ay gaa. Ay mo ga ni muraadu kulu feeri ni se sedre bundu nda sipres* bundu do haray.
9My servants shall bring [them] down from Lebanon to the sea; and I will convey them by sea [in] rafts to 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.
9 Ay tamey ga zulli nd'ey ka fun Liban boŋ ka koy teeko do. Ay ma ne i ma te doyandi, i ma teeku haro gana kal a ma to nango kaŋ ni ga ci ay se, ya naŋ i m'i feeri noodin. Ni mo m'i ta. Ni g'ay muraadu feeri mo, k'ay almayaaley no ŋwaari.»
10So Hiram gave Solomon cedar-trees and cypress-trees [according to] all his desire.
10 Hiram binde na Suleymanu no sedre da sipres bundu mate kulu kaŋ a ga ba me.
11And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand measures of wheat as food for his household, and twenty measures of beaten oil: thus gave Solomon to Hiram year by year.
11 Suleymanu mo na Hiram no alkama tono zambar waranka, da ji kaŋ i gabu tono waytaaci, a almayaalo ŋwaari. Yaadin no Suleymanu soobay ka Hiram no jiiri ka kaa jiiri.
12And Jehovah gave Solomon wisdom as he promised him. And there was peace between Hiram and Solomon; and they two made a league.
12 Rabbi mo na Suleymanu no laakal sanda mate kaŋ cine a na alkawlo sambu d'a a se. Laakal kanay mo go Hiram nda Suleymanu game ra. I boro hinka binde gonda amaana care se.
13And king Solomon raised a levy out of all Israel; and the levy was thirty thousand men.
13 Bonkoono Suleymanu binde na borey ce doole Israyla kulu ra, boro zambar waranza.
14And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by courses; a month they were in Lebanon, two months at home; and Adoniram was over the levy.
14 A n'i donton Liban, boro zambar way handu kulu sata. Handu fo i go Liban, handu hinka i go fu. Adoniram mo no ga ti doole goy-izey jine funa.
15And Solomon had seventy thousand that bore burdens, and eighty thousand stone-masons in the mountains;
15 Suleymanu gonda boro zambar wayye kaŋ ga jaraw sambu, da boro zambar wahakku kaŋ ga tondi hanse tondi kuukey ra,
16besides the overseers whom Solomon had set over the work, three thousand three hundred, who ruled over the people that wrought in the work.
16 kaŋ yaŋ waana laabukoy beeri cindey kaŋ go goyey boŋ, i boro zambar hinza nda zangu hinza, kaŋ goono ga goy-teerey may.
17And the king commanded, and they brought great stones, costly stones, hewn stones, to lay the foundation of the house.
17 Bonkoono na lordi te koyne, i na tondi beeriyaŋ fansi kaŋ yaŋ gonda nooru gumo, zama i ma windo ganda daba sintin da tondi jabanteyaŋ.
18And Solomon's builders and Hiram's builders and the Giblites hewed them, and prepared timber and stones to build the house.
18 Suleymanu cinakoy, da Hiram waney, da Gebalancey mo, ngey no ka tondey hanse. I na bundey da tondey soola-soola zama windo cinayaŋ se.
