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

¹And it came to pass when Solomon had completed the building of the house of Jehovah, and the king's house, and all Solomon's desire which he was pleased to do,

²Jehovha akazviratidza kuna Soromoni rwechipiri, sezvaakazviratidza kwaari paGibhiyoni.

²that Jehovah appeared to Solomon the second time, as he had appeared to him at 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 said to him, I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication which thou hast made before me: I have hallowed this house, which thou hast built, to put my name there for ever; and mine eyes and my heart shall be there perpetually.

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

⁴And [as for] thee, if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, in integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded thee, [and] wilt keep my statutes and mine ordinances;

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

⁵then will I establish the throne of thy kingdom over Israel for ever, as I promised to David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man upon 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[But] if ye shall at all turn from following me, ye or your children, and will not keep my commandments, my statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other gods, and worship them;

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

⁷then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them; and the house, which I have hallowed to my name, will I cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a by word among all peoples;

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

⁸and this house, [which] is high, every one that passes by it shall be astonished at, and shall hiss, and they shall say, Why has 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 shall say, Because they forsook Jehovah their God, who brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have attached themselves to other gods, and have worshipped them and served them; therefore has Jehovah brought upon them all this evil.

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

¹⁰And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, when Solomon had built the two houses, the house of Jehovah and the king's house,

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 the king of Tyre having furnished Solomon with cedar-trees and cypress-trees, and with gold, according to all his desire, -- that then king Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.

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

¹²And Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities that Solomon had given him; and they did not please him.

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

¹³And he said, What cities are these which thou hast given me, my brother? And he called them the land of Cabul to this day.

¹⁴Hiramu akatumira mambo matarenda endarama ane zana namakumi maviri.

¹⁴And Hiram had sent to the king one 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 account of the levy which king Solomon raised, 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 had gone up and taken Gezer, and burned it with fire, and slain the Canaanites that dwelt in the city, and given it as a dowry to his daughter, Solomon's wife.

¹⁷Soromoni akavaka Gezeri, neBhe- tihoroni rezasi,

¹⁷-- And Solomon built Gezer, and lower Beth-horon,

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 store-cities that Solomon had, and cities for chariots, and cities for the horsemen, and that which Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, and on Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.

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

²⁰All the people that were left of the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of the children 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 children that were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel were not able utterly to destroy, upon them did Solomon impose a tribute of bondservice until 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.

²²But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no bondmen; but they were men of war, and his servants, and his chiefs, and his captains, and captains of his chariots, and his horsemen.

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

²³These were the chief superintendents that were over Solomon's work, five hundred and fifty, that ruled over the people that wrought in the work.

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

²⁴But Pharaoh's daughter came up out of the city of David to her house which he had 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 three times in the year did Solomon offer up burnt-offerings and peace-offerings upon the altar that he had built to Jehovah, and he burned incense upon that which was before Jehovah. So he finished the house.

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

²⁶And king Solomon made a fleet of ships in Ezion-Geber, which is beside Eloth, on the shore of the Red Sea, in the land of Edom.

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

²⁷And Hiram sent in the fleet his servants, shipmen that had knowledge of the sea, with the servants of Solomon;

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

²⁸and they went to Ophir, and fetched thence gold, four hundred and twenty talents, and brought it to king Solomon.
