¹Makore makumi maviri akati apera, Soromoni aakavaka nawo imba yaJehovha neimba yake,

¹And it cometh to pass, at the end of twenty years, that Solomon hath built the house of Jehovah, and his own house.

²Soromoni akavaka maguta akanga apiwa Soromoni naHurami, akagarisa vana vaIsiraeri imomo.

²As to the cities that Huram hath given to Solomon, Solomon hath built them, and there he causeth the sons of Israel to dwell.

³Soromoni akaenda Hamatizobha, akarikunda.

³And Solomon goeth to Hamath-Zobah, and layeth hold upon it;

⁴Akavaka Tadhimori murenje, namaguta ose amatura aakavaka paHamati.

⁴and he buildeth Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the cities of store that he hath built in Hamath.

⁵Akavakawo Bhetihoroni rokumusoro neBhetihoroni rezasi, ari maguta akakombwa namasvingo, anamasuwo, namazariro;

⁵And he buildeth Beth-Horon the upper, and Beth-Horon the lower -- cities of defence, with walls, two-leaved doors, and bar --

⁶neBhaarati, namaguta ose engoro dzake, namaguta avatasvi vamabhiza ake, nezvose Soromoni zvaakanga achida kuzvivakira paJerusaremu, napaRebhanoni, napanyika yose yakabatwa naye.

⁶and Baalath, and all the cities of store that Solomon had, and all the cities of the chariot, and the cities of the horsemen, and all the desire of Solomon that he desired to build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.

⁷Kana vari vanhu vose vakanga vasara pavaHeti, navaAmori, navaPerizi, navaHivhi, navaJebhusi, vakanga vasi vavaIsiraeri;

⁷All the people who are left of the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, who are not of Israel --

⁸pavana vavo vakanga vasara panyika shure kwavo, vasati vakaparadzwa navalsiraeri, pakati pavo Soromoni akaraira chibharo chavaranda kusvikira nhasi.

⁸of their sons who have been left after them in the land, whom the sons of Israel consumed not -- doth Solomon lift up a tribute unto this day.

⁹Asi Soromoni haana kuita varanda pakati pavana vaIsiraeri, asi ivo vakanga vari varwi, navakuru vavatungamiriri vake vehondo, navarairi vengoro dzake, navatasvi vamabhiza ake.

⁹And none of the sons of Israel hath Solomon made servants for his work, but they [are] men of war, and heads of his captains, and heads of his charioteers, and of his horsemen;

¹⁰Ndivo vaiva vatariri vakuru vamambo Soromoni, vaiva namazana maviri namakumi mashanu, vairaira vanhu.

¹⁰and these [are] heads of the officers whom king Solomon hath, two hundred and fifty who are rulers among the people.

¹¹Zvino Soromoni akandotora mukunda waFarao muguta raDhavhidhi, akamuisa kuimba yaakanga amuvakira; nekuti akati, Mukadzi wangu haafaniri kugara muimba yaDhavhidhi mambo waIsiraeri, nekuti panzvimbo pasvika areka yaJehovha patsvene.

¹¹And the daughter of Pharaoh hath Solomon brought up from the city of David to the house that he built for her, for he said, `My wife doth not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, for they are holy unto whom hath come the ark of Jehovah.'

¹²Zvino Soromoni akabayira Jehovha zvipiriso zvinopiswa paaritari yaJehovha, yaakanga avaka pamberi peberere,

¹²Then hath Solomon caused to ascend burnt-offerings to Jehovah on the altar of Jehovah that he built before the porch,

¹³sezvavaifanira kuita zuva rimwe nerimwe, vakabayira sezvavakanga varairwa naMozisi, pamasabata, napakugara komwedzi, napamitambo yakatarwa, katatu pagore, pamutambo wezvingwa zvisine mvuviro, napamutambo wamavhiki, napamutambo wamatumba.

¹³even by the matter of a day in its day, to cause to ascend according to the command of Moses, on sabbaths, and on new moons, and on appointed seasons, three times in a year -- in the feast of unleavened things, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of booths.

¹⁴Akagadza, sezvaakarairwa naDhavhidhi baba vake, mapoka avapristi pamabasa avo, navaRevhi pamabasa avo, kuti varumbidze nokubata pamberi pavapristi, sezvavaifanira kuita zuva rimwe nerimwe navatariri vemikova pamapoka avo pasuwo rimwe nerimwe; nekuti ndizvo zvakanga zvarairwa naDhavhidhi munhu waMwari.

¹⁴And he establisheth, according to the ordinance of David his father, the courses of the priests over their service, and of the Levites over their charges, to praise and to minister over-against the priests, according to the matter of a day in its day, and the gatekeepers in their courses at gate and gate, for so [is] the command of David the man of God.

¹⁵Havana kutsauka pamurayiro wamambo kuvapristi navaRevhi pamusoro pezvinhu zvose napamusoro pefuma.

¹⁵And they have not turned aside [from] the command of the king concerning the priests and the Levites, in reference to any matter, and to the treasures.

¹⁶Zvino mabasa ose aSoromoni akapera kugadzirwa pazuva rokuvambwa kweimba kusvikira pakupera kwayo. Imba yaJehovha ikazopera chose.

¹⁶And all the work of Solomon is prepared till the day of the foundation of the house of Jehovah, and till its completion; perfect is the house of Jehovah.

¹⁷Ipapo Soromoni akaenda EZiyonigebheri neEroti, pamahombekombe egungwa panyika yaEdhomu.

¹⁷Then hath Solomon gone to Ezion-Geber, and unto Elath, on the border of the sea, in the land of Edom;

¹⁸Hurami akamutumira navaranda vake zvikepe, navaranda vaiziva gungwa kwazvo vakaenda; Ofiri navaranda vaSoromoni, vakandotorapo ndarama yakasvika matarenda* mazana mana namakumi mashanu, vakauya nayo kuna mambo Soromoni.

¹⁸and Huram sendeth to him, by the hand of his servants, ships and servants knowing the sea, and they go with servants of Solomon to Ophir, and take thence four hundred and fifty talents of gold, and bring in unto king Solomon.
