¹Zvino Soromoni wakati apedza kuvaka imba yaJehovha, neimba yamambo, nezvose Soromoni zvaakanga achida kuita,

¹And it cometh to pass, at Solomon`s finishing to build the house of Jehovah, and the house of the king, and all the desire of Solomon that he delighted to do,

²Jehovha akazviratidza kuna Soromoni rwechipiri, sezvaakazviratidza kwaari paGibhiyoni.

²that Jehovah appeareth unto Solomon a second time, as He appeared unto him in Gibeon,

³Jehovha akati kwaari, Ndakanzwa kunyengetera kwako nokukumbira kwako kwawakaita pamberi pangu; ndakatsaura imba iyi yawakavaka, kuti ndiise zita rangupo nokusingaperi; meso angu nomoyo wangu zvichavapo nguva dzose.

³and Jehovah saith unto him, `I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication with which thou hast made supplication before Me; I have hallowed this house that thou hast built to put My name there — unto the age, and Mine eyes and My heart have been there all the days.

⁴Kana uriwe, kana ukafamba pamberi pangu sababa vako Dhavhidhi nomoyo usinganyengeri, nokururama, ukaita zvose zvandakakuraira ukachengeta zvandatema nezvandatonga,

⁴`And thou — if thou dost walk before Me as David thy father walked, in simplicity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded thee — My statutes and My judgments thou dost keep —

⁵ipapo ini ndichasimbisa chigaro chako choushe pakati paIsiraeri nokusingaperi, sezvandakapikira baba vako Dhavhidhi, ndichiti, Haungashaiwi munhu uchagara pachigaro choushe chaIsiraeri,

⁵then I have established the throne of thy kingdom over Israel — to the age, as I spake unto David thy father, saying, There is not cut off to thee a man from [being] on the throne of Israel.

⁶Asi kana mukatsauka pakunditevera, imwi kana vana venyu, mukasachengeta mirairo yangu nezvandatema zvandakaisa pamberi penyu, asi mukandoshumira vamwe vamwari, mukanamata kwavari;

⁶`If ye at all turn back — you and your sons — from after Me, and keep not My commands — My statutes, that I have set before you, and ye have gone and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to them,

⁷ipapo ndichaparadza Isiraeri panyika yandakavapa; neimba iyi yandakatsaurira zita rangu, ndichairashira kure ndirege kuiona, vaIsiraeri vachava shumo nechiseko pakati pavanhu vose;

⁷then I have cut off Israel from the face of the ground that I have given to them, and the house that I have hallowed for My name I send away from My presence, and Israel hath been for a simile and for a byword among all the peoples;

⁸uye imba iyi kunyange yakakwirira ikadai, vose vanopfuura nayo vachakanuka nokuridza muridzo, vachiti, Jehovha wakaitireiko kudai nenyika ino uye neimba ino?

⁸as to this house, [that] is high, every one passing by it is astonished, and hath hissed, and they have said, Wherefore hath Jehovah done thus to this land and to this house?

⁹Vachapindura, vachiti, nekuti vakasiya Jehovha Mwari wavo, wakange abudisa madzibaba avo munyika yeEgipita, vakanamatira vamwe vamwari, vakanamata kwavari, nokuvashumira; saka Jehovha wakavapinza panjodzi idzi dzose.

⁹and they have said, Because that they have forsaken Jehovah their God, who brought out their fathers from the land of Egypt, and they lay hold on other gods, and bow themselves to them, and serve them; therefore hath Jehovah brought in upon them all this evil.`

¹⁰Makore ana makumi maviri akati apera, Soromoni aakavaka nawo dzimba idzi mbiri, iyo imba yaJehovha neimba yamambo;

¹⁰And it cometh to pass, at the end of twenty years, that Solomon hath built the two houses, the house of Jehovah, and the house of the king.

¹¹(zvino Hiramu mambo weTire wakange atsvakira Soromoni misidhari; nemisipiresi, nendarama, nezvose zvaakanga achida), mambo Soromoni akapa Hiramu maguta ana makumi maviri panyika yeGarire.

¹¹Hiram king of Tyre hath assisted Solomon with cedar-trees, and with fir-trees, and with gold, according to all his desire; then doth king Solomon give to Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.

¹²Hiramu akabva Tire kuzoona maguta aakanga apiwa naSoromoni, asi haana kumufadza.

¹²And Hiram cometh out from Tyre to see the cities that Solomon hath given to him, and they have not been right in his eyes,

¹³Akati, Maguta kunyiko awa awandipa, hama yangu? Akatumidza nyika yeKabhuri kusvikira zuva ranhasi.

¹³and he saith, `What [are] these cities that thou hast given to me, my brother?` and one calleth them the land of Cabul unto this day.

¹⁴Hiramu akatumira mambo matarenda endarama ane zana namakumi maviri.

¹⁴And Hiram sendeth to the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold.

¹⁵Zvino ndiro shoko rechibharo chakarairwa namambo Soromoni, kuzovaka imba yaJehovha, neimba yake, neMiro, norusvingo rweJerusaremu, neHazori, neMegidho, neGezeri.

¹⁵And this [is] the matter of the tribute that king Solomon hath lifted up, to build the house of Jehovah, and his own house, and Millo, and the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, and Megiddo, and Gezer,

¹⁶Farao mambo weEgipita wakange andokunda Gezeri, akaripisa nomoto, akauraya vaKanani vakanga vagere muguta, akaripa mukunda wake, mukadzi waSoromoni.

¹⁶(Pharaoh king of Egypt hath gone up and doth capture Gezer, and doth burn it with fire, and the Canaanite who is dwelling in the city he hath slain, and giveth it [with] presents to his daughter, wife of Solomon.)

¹⁷Soromoni akavaka Gezeri, neBhe- tihoroni rezasi,

¹⁷And Solomon buildeth Gezer, and Beth-Horon the lower,

¹⁸naBharati, neTamari, murenje munyika iyo,

¹⁸and Baalath, and Tadmor in the wilderness, in the land;

¹⁹namaguta ose amatura aSoromoni, namaguta engoro dzake, namaguta avatasvi vamabhiza ake, nezvose Soromoni zvaaida kuzvivakira paJerusaremu, napaRebhanoni, napanyika yose yakanga yakabatwa naye.

¹⁹and all the cities of stores that king Solomon hath, and the cities of the chariots, and the cities of the horsemen, and the desire of Solomon that he desired to build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.

²⁰Kuvanhu vose vakanga vasara vavaAmori, navaHeti, navaPerezi, navaHivhi navaJebhusi, vakanga vasi vana vaIsiraeri;

²⁰The whole of the people that is left of the Amorite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, who [are] not of the sons of Israel —

²¹navana vavo vakanga vasara panyika shure kwavo, ivo vana vaIsiraeri vakanga vasingagoni kuvaparadza chose kuna ivavo Soromoni wakaraira chibharo chavaranda kusvikira nhasi.

²¹their sons who are left behind them in the land, whom the sons of Israel have not been able to devote — he hath even lifted up [on] them a tribute of service unto this day.

²²Asi Soromoni haana kuita varanda pakati pavana vaIsiraeri, asi ivo vaiva varwi vake, navabatiri vake, namachinda ake, navakuru vake, navarairi vengoro dzake, navatasvi vamabhiza ake.

²²And out of the sons of Israel Solomon hath not appointed a servant, for they [are] the men of war, and his servants, and his heads, and his captains, and the heads of his chariots, and his horsemen.

²³Ndivo vaiva vatariri vakuru vamabasa aSoromoni, vaiva namazana mashanu namakumi mashanu, vairairira vanhu vaibata basa.

²³These [are] the heads of the officers who [are] over the work of Solomon, fifty and five hundred, those ruling among the people who are labouring in the work.

²⁴Zvino mukunda waFarao wakabva kuguta raDhavhidhi, akaenda kuimba yake, yaakanga avakirwa naSoromoni; ipapo akavaka Miro.

²⁴Only, the daughter of Pharaoh went up out of the city of David unto her house that [Solomon] built for her; then he built Millo.

²⁵Katatu pagore Soromoni waibayira zvipiriso zvinopiswa nezvipiriso zvokuyananisa pamusoro pearitari yaakanga avakira Jehovha, akapisa zvinonhuhwira pamwechete nazvo paaritari yakanga iri pamberi paJehovha. Naizvozvo akapedza imba.

²⁵And Solomon caused to ascend, three times in a year, burnt-offerings and peace-offerings on the altar that he built to Jehovah, and he perfumed it with that which [is] before Jehovah, and finished the house.

²⁶Mambo Soromoni wakavakawo zvikepe zvizhinji paEZiyonigebheri, pedo neEroti, pamahombekombe eGungwa Dzvuku, panyika yaEdhomu.

²⁶And a navy hath king Solomon made in Ezion-Geber, that is beside Eloth, on the edge of the Sea of Suph, in the land of Edom.

²⁷Hiramu akatuma nezvikepe izvo varanda vake, vaiva vafambisi vezvikepe vaiziva gungwa kwazvo, pamwechete navaranda vaSoromoni.

²⁷And Hiram sendeth in the navy his servants, shipmen knowing the sea, with servants of Solomon,

²⁸Vakasvika Ofiri, vakatorapo ndarama yakasvika matarenda ana mazana mana namakumi maviri vakauya nayo kuna mambo Soromoni.

²⁸and they come in to Ophir and take thence gold, four hundred and twenty talents, and bring [it] in unto king Solomon.
