1 Reis 5

 
1 ver mapa (H5:15)Kun Tyroksen kuningas Hiram sai kuulla, että Salomo oli voideltu kuninkaaksi isänsä jälkeen, hän lähetti viemään tervehdyksensä Salomolle, sillä hän oli aina ollut Daavidin ystävä. Now Hiram, king of Tyre, hearing that Solomon had been made king in place of his father, sent his servants to him; for Hiram had ever been a friend to David.
2 (H5:16)Salomo lähetti Hiramille sanan: And Solomon sent back word to Hiram, saying,
3 (H5:18)Nyt Herra, minun Jumalani, on suonut minulle joka suunnalla rauhan. Vastustajia ei ole, mikään vaara ei uhkaa. You have knowledge that David my father was not able to make a house for the name of the Lord his God, because of the wars which were round him on every side, till the Lord put all those who were against him under his feet.
4 (H5:19)Minä aion nyt rakentaa Herralle, Jumalalleni, omistetun temppelin, sen josta Herra puhui isälleni Daavidille sanoen: 'Sinun poikasi, jonka asetan jälkeesi valtaistuimelle, on rakentava minulle temppelin.' But now the Lord my God has given me rest on every side; no one is making trouble, and no evil is taking place.
5 (H5:24)Hiram toimitti Salomolle setrejä ja sypressejä niin paljon kuin tämä halusi. And so it is my purpose to make a house for the name of the Lord my God, as he said to David my father, Your son, whom I will make king in your place, will be the builder of a house for my name.
6 ver mapa (H5:25)Salomo puolestaan antoi Hiramin hoville kaksikymmentätuhatta kor-mittaa ruokavehnää ja kaksikymmentä kor-mittaa puhdasta oliiviöljyä. Tämän määrän Salomo lähetti Hiramille joka vuosi. So now, will you have cedar-trees from Lebanon cut down for me, and my servants will be with your servants; and I will give you payment for your servants at whatever rate you say; for it is common knowledge that we have no such wood-cutters among us as the men of Zidon.
7 (H5:26)Herra oli antanut Salomolle viisautta, niin kuin oli hänelle luvannut. Hiramin ja Salomon välillä vallitsi rauha, ja he solmivat keskenään liiton. And these words of Solomon made Hiram glad, and he said, Now may the Lord be praised who has given to David a wise son to be king over this great people.
8 (H5:27)Kuningas Salomo otti verotöihin miehiä joka puolelta Israelia, yhteensä kolmekymmentätuhatta miestä. Then Hiram sent to Solomon, saying; The words you sent have been given to me: I will do all your desire in the question of cedar-wood and cypress-wood.
9 ver mapa (H5:28)Hän lähetti heitä kuukausittain kymmenentuhatta Libanonin vuorille. He olivat aina kuukauden siellä ja kaksi kuukautta kotona. Verotöiden valvojana oli Adoniram. My men will take them down from Lebanon to the sea, where I will have them corded together to go by sea to whatever place you say, and I will have them cut up there so that you may take them away; as for payment, it will be enough if you give me food for my people.
10 (H5:29)Lisäksi Salomolla oli seitsemänkymmentätuhatta kantajaa ja kahdeksankymmentätuhatta kivenhakkaajaa vuoristossa. So Hiram gave Solomon all the cedar-wood and cypress-wood he had need of;
11 (H5:30)Töitä johtamassa oli Salomon maaherrojen asettamia esimiehiä, kaikkiaan kolmetuhattakolmesataa. And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand measures of grain, as food for his people, and twenty measures of clear oil; this he did every year.
12 (H5:31)Kuningas käski louhia suuria, hyvälaatuisia lohkareita, sillä temppelin perustus oli määrä tehdä hakatusta kivestä. Now the Lord had given Solomon wisdom, as he had said to him; and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and they made an agreement together.
13 (H5:32)Salomon ja Hiramin työläiset veistivät puut ja hakkasivat kivet yhdessä gebalilaisten ammattimiesten kanssa temppelin rakentamiseen sopiviksi. Then King Solomon got together men for the forced work through all Israel, thirty thousand men in number;
14 ver mapa And sent them to Lebanon in bands of ten thousand every month: for a month they were working in Lebanon and for two months in their country, and Adoniram was in control of them.
15 Then he had seventy thousand for the work of transport, and eighty thousand stone-cutters in the mountains;
16 In addition to the chiefs of the responsible men put by Solomon to oversee the work, three thousand and three hundred in authority over the workmen.
17 By the king's orders great stones, stones of high price, were cut out, so that the base of the house might be made of squared stone.
18 ver mapa Solomon's builders and Hiram's builders did the work of cutting them, and put edges on them, and got the wood and the stone ready for the building of the house.
