Diyaarintii Dhisidda Macbudka

Haddaba Sulaymaan wuxuu u qasdiyey inuu guri u dhiso Rabbiga magiciisa, iyo guri kale oo boqortooyadiisu leedahay. Markaasaa Sulaymaan wuxuu qortay toddobaatan kun oo xammaal, iyo siddeetan kun oo nin oo buuraha dhagax ka jari jiray, iyo saddex kun iyo lix boqol oo nin oo iyaga u taliya. Oo Sulaymaanna wuxuu u cid diray Xuuraam oo ahaa boqorkii Turos oo ku yidhi, Sidaad u yeeshay aabbahay Daa'uud markaad isaga u soo dirtay alwaax kedar ah oo uu ku dhisto guri uu ku hoydo, anigana sidii oo kale ii yeel. Bal eeg, waxaan guri u dhisayaa magaca Rabbiga Ilaahayga ah, inaan isaga quduus uga dhigo, oo hortiisa lagu shido foox udgoon, oo la hor dhigo kibista tusniinta oo joogtada ah, oo la bixiyo qurbaannada la gubo subaxda iyo fiidka, iyo Sabtiyada, iyo markay bilaha cusubu dhashaan, iyo ciidaha Rabbiga Ilaahayaga ah. Kaasuna waa amar reer binu Israa'iil weligiis la amray. Oo guriga aan dhisayaana waa weyn yahay, maxaa yeelay, Ilaahayagu waa weyn yahay oo waa ka wada sarreeyaa ilaahyada oo dhan. Laakiinse bal yaa isaga guri u dhisi kara, maxaa yeelay, samada iyo samada samooyinkuba isaga ma qaadi karaan? Bal markaan guri u dhisayo, yaan ahay anigu, inaan hortiisa foox ku shido oo keliya mooyaane? Haddaba waxaad ii soo dirtaa nin yaqaan sancada dahabka, iyo lacagta, iyo naxaasta, iyo birta, iyo guduudka, iyo casaanka, iyo buluugga, kaasoo si wacan u yaqaan sancada xaradhka, inuu la jiro ragga saanacyada ah oo ila jooga dalka Yahuudah iyo Yeruusaalem, kuwaasoo uu aabbahay Daa'uud diyaariyey. Oo weliba waxaad dalka Lubnaan iiga soo dirtaa geedo kedar ah iyo geedo beroosh ah iyo geedo almuug ah, waayo, waan ogahay in addoommadaadu sanco u leeyihiin inay Lubnaan alwaax ka soo jaraan, oo bal eeg addoommadayduna waxay la jiri doonaan addoommadaada, si ay iigu diyaariyaan alwaax faro badan, waayo, guriga aan dhowaan dhisi doonaa wuxuu ahaan doonaa mid yaab weyn oo badan. 10 Oo bal eeg, anigu addoommadaada alwaaxda jaraya waxaan siin doonaa labaatan kun oo kor oo ah sarreen la tumay, iyo labaatan kun oo kor oo ah shaciir, iyo labaatan kun oo bad oo khamri ah, iyo labaatan kun oo bad oo saliid ah. 11 Markaasaa Xuuraam oo ahaa boqorkii Turos wuxuu ku soo jawaabay warqad uu u soo qoray Sulaymaan oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Rabbigu dadkiisa waa jecel yahay, sidaas daraaddeed buu boqor kaaga dhigay. 12 Oo weliba Xuuraam wuxuu kaloo yidhi, Ammaan waxaa leh Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil oo sameeyey samada iyo dhulkaba, oo Boqor Daa'uudna siiyey wiil xigmad leh oo ay ka buuxaan caqli iyo waxgarasho oo doonaya inuu Rabbiga guri u dhiso iyo guri ay boqortooyadiisu leedahay. 13 Oo haddaba waxaan kuu soo diray nin saanac ah oo waxgarad miidhan ah kaasoo ah Xuuraamaabbii. 14 Oo isaga waxaa dhashay naag reer Daan ah oo aabbihiisna wuxuu ahaa nin reer Turos ah. Isagu wuxuu yaqaan sancada dahabka, iyo lacagta, iyo naxaasta, iyo birta, iyo dhagaxa, iyo alwaaxda, iyo guduudka, iyo buluugga, iyo dharka wanaagsan, iyo casaanka, oo weliba wuxuu yaqaan inuu xaradh cayn kasta ah xardho iyo inuu wax kasta hindiso; haddaba isaga meel ha laga dhex siiyo raggaaga saanacyada ah iyo sayidkayga Daa'uud oo aabbahaa ah raggiisa saanacyada ah. 15 Haddaba sarreenkii iyo shaciirkii, iyo saliiddii iyo khamrigii aad ka hadashay noo soo dir, sayidkaygiiyow. 16 Oo annana in alla intaad u baahan tahay oo alwaax ah ayaannu Lubnaan kaaga soo jaraynaa; oo Yaafaa xaggeeda ayaannu badda kuu soo sabbaysiinaynaa, markaasaad Yeruusaalem u qaadan doontaa. 17 Markaasaa Sulaymaan wada tiriyey shisheeyayaashii dalka Israa'iil degganaa oo dhan, oo wuxuu u tiriyey sidii aabbihiis Daa'uud u tiriyey oo kale, oo waxay noqdeen boqol iyo saddex iyo konton kun iyo lix boqol oo qof. 18 Oo wuxuu iyagii ka dhigay toddobaatan kun oo xammaal, iyo siddeetan kun oo nin oo buuraha geedo ka jara, iyo saddex kun iyo lix boqol oo nin oo dadka u taliya oo shuqulka u dira.

Preparations for Building the Temple(A)

[a]Solomon gave orders to build a temple(B) for the Name of the Lord and a royal palace for himself.(C) He conscripted 70,000 men as carriers and 80,000 as stonecutters in the hills and 3,600 as foremen over them.(D)

Solomon sent this message to Hiram[b](E) king of Tyre:

“Send me cedar logs(F) as you did for my father David when you sent him cedar to build a palace to live in. Now I am about to build a temple(G) for the Name of the Lord my God and to dedicate it to him for burning fragrant incense(H) before him, for setting out the consecrated bread(I) regularly, and for making burnt offerings(J) every morning and evening and on the Sabbaths,(K) at the New Moons(L) and at the appointed festivals of the Lord our God. This is a lasting ordinance for Israel.

“The temple I am going to build will be great,(M) because our God is greater than all other gods.(N) But who is able to build a temple for him, since the heavens, even the highest heavens, cannot contain him?(O) Who then am I(P) to build a temple for him, except as a place to burn sacrifices before him?

“Send me, therefore, a man skilled to work in gold and silver, bronze and iron, and in purple, crimson and blue yarn, and experienced in the art of engraving, to work in Judah and Jerusalem with my skilled workers,(Q) whom my father David provided.

“Send me also cedar, juniper and algum[c] logs from Lebanon, for I know that your servants are skilled in cutting timber there. My servants will work with yours to provide me with plenty of lumber, because the temple I build must be large and magnificent. 10 I will give your servants, the woodsmen who cut the timber, twenty thousand cors[d] of ground wheat, twenty thousand cors[e] of barley, twenty thousand baths[f] of wine and twenty thousand baths of olive oil.(R)

11 Hiram king of Tyre replied by letter to Solomon:

“Because the Lord loves(S) his people, he has made you their king.”

12 And Hiram added:

“Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, who made heaven and earth!(T) He has given King David a wise son, endowed with intelligence and discernment, who will build a temple for the Lord and a palace for himself.

13 “I am sending you Huram-Abi,(U) a man of great skill, 14 whose mother was from Dan(V) and whose father was from Tyre. He is trained(W) to work in gold and silver, bronze and iron, stone and wood, and with purple and blue(X) and crimson yarn and fine linen. He is experienced in all kinds of engraving and can execute any design given to him. He will work with your skilled workers and with those of my lord, David your father.

15 “Now let my lord send his servants the wheat and barley and the olive oil(Y) and wine he promised, 16 and we will cut all the logs from Lebanon that you need and will float them as rafts by sea down to Joppa.(Z) You can then take them up to Jerusalem.”

17 Solomon took a census of all the foreigners(AA) residing in Israel, after the census(AB) his father David had taken; and they were found to be 153,600. 18 He assigned(AC) 70,000 of them to be carriers and 80,000 to be stonecutters in the hills, with 3,600 foremen over them to keep the people working.
