1Hiram 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 was ever a lover of 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.
2Solomon sent to Hiram, saying,
2 Suleymanu binde donton Hiram do ka ne:
3“You know how that David my father could not build a house for the name of Yahweh his God for the wars which were about him on every side, until Yahweh 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 Yahweh my God has given me rest on every side. There is neither adversary, nor evil occurrence.
4 Amma sohõ Rabbi ay Irikoyo n'ay no fulanzamay nangey kulu. Ay sinda ibare, balaaw mo si no kaŋ zumbu.
5Behold, I purpose to build a house for the name of Yahweh my God, as Yahweh spoke to David my father, saying, ‘Your son, whom I will set on your throne in your place, he shall build the house for 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.›
6Now therefore command that they cut me cedar trees out of Lebanon. My servants shall be with your servants; and I will give you wages for your servants according to all that you shall say. For you know that there is not among us any who knows how to cut timber like the Sidonians.”
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.»
7It happened, when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly, and said, “Blessed is Yahweh 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.»
8Hiram 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 timber of fir.
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. I will make them into rafts to go by sea to the place that you shall appoint me, and will cause them to be broken up there, and you shall receive them. You shall 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 timber of cedar and timber of fir according to all his desire.
10 Hiram binde na Suleymanu no sedre da sipres bundu mate kulu kaŋ a ga ba me.
11Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand measures of wheat for food to his household, and twenty measures of pure oil. Solomon gave this 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.
12Yahweh gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him; and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon; and they two made a treaty together.
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.
13King 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.
14He sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by courses; a month they were in Lebanon, and two months at home; and Adoniram was over the men subject to forced labor.
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.
15Solomon had seventy thousand who bore burdens, and eighty thousand who were stone cutters 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 Solomon’s chief officers who were over the work, three thousand and three hundred, who bore rule over the people who labored 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.
17The king commanded, and they cut out great stones, costly stones, to lay the foundation of the house with worked stone.
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.
18Solomon’s builders and Hiram’s builders and the Gebalites cut them, and prepared the timber and the 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.
