Rabbiga Oo U Muuqday Sulaymaan

Oo Sulaymaan markuu dhammeeyey dhismihii guriga Rabbiga, iyo gurigii boqorka, iyo kulli wixii uu damacsanaa oo uu ku faraxsanaa inuu sameeyo oo dhan, ayaa Rabbigu Sulaymaan mar labaad u muuqday, siduu markii hore Gibecoon ugu muuqday oo kale. Oo Rabbigu wuxuu ku yidhi, Waan maqlay tukashadaadii iyo baryootankaagii aad hortayda ku samaysay; oo quduus baan ka dhigay gurigan aad dhistay si magacayga weligiisba halkaas loogu daayo, oo indhahayga iyo qalbigayguna halkaasay joogi doonaan weligood iyo weligoodba. Oo adiguna haddaad sidii aabbahaa Daa'uud oo kale hortayda ugu socotid qalbi daacad ah iyo qummanaan, si aad u yeeshid wax alla wixii aan kugu amray oo aad u xajisid qaynuunnadayda iyo xukummadayda, de markaasaan dhisi doonaa oo aan weligiis waarin doonaa carshiga boqortooyadaada ee reer binu Israa'iil u taliya sidaan ugu ballanqaaday aabbahaa Daa'uud, markaan ku idhi, Nin carshiga dalka Israa'iil ku fadhiista lagaa waayi maayo. Laakiinse idinka ama carruurtiinnu haddaad lasocodkayga ka leexataan oo aydnaan dhawrin amarradayda iyo qaynuunnadayda aan idin hor dhigay, laakiinse aad intaad tagtaan ilaahyo kale u adeegtaan oo caabuddaan, de markaasaan reer binu Israa'iil ka gooyn doonaa dalkii aan siiyey; oo gurigan aan magacayga aawadiis quduus uga dhigayna hortaydaan ka tuuri doonaa, oo reer binu Israa'iilna markaas waxay dadyowga oo dhan ku dhex noqon doonaan maahmaah iyo halqabsi. Oo in kastoo guriganu dheer yahay, haddana mid walba oo ag maraaba wuu la yaabi doonaa, oo wuu ku foodhyi doonaa, oo wuxuu odhan doonaa, Rabbigu muxuu sidan uga dhigay dalkan iyo gurigan? Oo waxaa lagu jawaabi doonaa, Waxay ka tageen Rabbigii Ilaahood ahaa oo awowayaashood ka soo bixiyey dalkii Masar, oo waxay raaceen ilaahyo kale, wayna caabudeen oo u adeegeen, oo sidaas daraaddeed baa Rabbigu xumaantan oo dhan ugu soo dejiyey.

Waxyaabihii Kale Ee Sulaymaan Sameeyey

10 Oo markay dhammaadeen labaatankii sannadood ee uu Sulaymaan labadii guri dhisayay, kuwaasoo ahaa gurigii Rabbiga iyo gurigii boqorka, 11 ayuu Boqor Sulaymaan Xiiraam siiyey labaatan magaalo oo ku tiil dalkii Galili. (Maxaa yeelay, Xiiraam oo ahaa boqorkii Turos wuxuu Sulaymaan siiyey qoryo kedar ah, iyo qoryo beroosh ah, iyo dahab, in alla intuu doonayay.) 12 Oo Xiiraamna wuxuu Turos uga soo kacay inuu arko magaalooyinkii Sulaymaan siiyey, kumana uu farxin. 13 Markaasuu yidhi, Walaalkayow, magaalooyinkan aad i siisay waa maxay? Kolkaasuu magaalooyinkii u bixiyey dalkii Kabuul oo ilaa maantadanna waa la yidhaahdaa. 14 Xiiraamna wuxuu boqorkii u diray boqol iyo labaatan talanti oo dahab ah.

15 Oo sababtii uu Sulaymaan shaqaalayaashii u doortay waxay ahayd inuu dhiso gurigii Rabbiga, iyo gurigii uu isagu lahaa, iyo Millo, iyo derbigii Yeruusaalem, iyo Xaasoor, iyo Megiddoo, iyo Geser. 16 Waayo, Fircoon oo ahaa boqorkii Masar mar horuu tegey oo Geser qabsaday oo gubay, oo wuxuu laayay dadkii reer Kancaan oo magaalada degganaa, oo qayb ahaan ayuu u siiyey gabadhiisii Sulaymaan u dhaxday. 17 Markaasaa Sulaymaan dhisay Geser, iyo Beytxooroontii hoose, 18 iyo Bacalad, iyo Taamaar oo ku dhex tiil cidladii dalka, 19 iyo magaalooyinkii wax lagu kaydin jiray ee uu Sulaymaan lahaa oo dhan, iyo magaalooyinkii gaadhifardoodkiisa, iyo magaalooyinkii fardooleydiisa, iyo wixii uu Sulaymaan jeclaaday inuu ka dhisto Yeruusaalem iyo Lubnaan, iyo dalkii uu boqorka ka ahaa oo dhan. 20 Oo weliba dadkii ka hadhay reer Amor, iyo reer Xeed, iyo reer Feris, iyo reer Xiwi, iyo reer Yebuus, oo aan reer binu Israa'iil ahayn, 21 kuwaas farcankoodii dalka ku hadhay oo anay reer binu Israa'iil karin inay wada baabbi'iyaan, Sulaymaan wuxuu ka dhigtay addoommo ilaa maantadan la joogo. 22 Laakiinse reer binu Israa'iil Sulaymaan addoommo kama dhigan, waxayse ahaayeen raggii dagaalyahannada ahaa, iyo midiidinnadiisii, iyo amiirradiisii, iyo saraakiishiisii, iyo taliyayaashii gaadhifardoodkiisa, iyo fardooleydiisaba. 23 Kuwanu waxay ahaayeen saraakiishii Sulaymaan hawshiisa u talin jiray oo ahaa shan boqol iyo konton nin oo u taliya dadka hawsha qabta. 24 Laakiinse gabadhii Fircoon waxay ka soo baxday magaaladii Daa'uud, oo gashay gurigeedii uu Sulaymaan iyada u dhisay; markaasuu haddana wuxuu dhisay Millo. 25 Oo sannaddiiba saddex jeer ayuu Sulaymaan meeshii allabariga oo uu Rabbiga u dhisay ku bixin jiray qurbaanno la gubo, iyo qurbaanno nabaadiino, oo girgirihii Rabbiga hor yiilna wuxuu ku gubi jiray foox, oo saasuu gurigii ku dhammeeyey.

26 Markaasaa Boqor Sulaymaan doonniyo ku sameeyey Cesyoon Geber taasoo ku taal Eelood dhinaceeda ee ah xeebta Badda Cas ee ku taal dalka Edom. 27 Oo Xiiraamna wuxuu doonniyihii raaciyey addoommadiisii baxriyiinta ahaa oo badda aqoonta u lahaa, oo waxaa wada jiray iyaga iyo addoommadii Sulaymaan. 28 Waxayna yimaadeen Oofir, oo halkaasay Boqor Sulaymaan uga keeneen afar boqol iyo labaatan talanti oo dahab ah.

The Lord Appears to Solomon(A)

When Solomon had finished(B) building the temple of the Lord and the royal palace, and had achieved all he had desired to do, the Lord appeared(C) to him a second time, as he had appeared to him at Gibeon. The Lord said to him:

“I have heard(D) the prayer and plea you have made before me; I have consecrated this temple, which you have built, by putting my Name(E) there forever. My eyes(F) and my heart will always be there.

“As for you, if you walk before me faithfully with integrity of heart(G) and uprightness, as David(H) your father did, and do all I command and observe my decrees and laws,(I) I will establish(J) your royal throne over Israel forever, as I promised David your father when I said, ‘You shall never fail(K) to have a successor on the throne of Israel.’

“But if you[a] or your descendants turn away(L) from me and do not observe the commands and decrees I have given you[b] and go off to serve other gods(M) and worship them, then I will cut off Israel from the land(N) I have given them and will reject this temple I have consecrated for my Name.(O) Israel will then become a byword(P) and an object of ridicule(Q) among all peoples. This temple will become a heap of rubble. All[c] who pass by will be appalled(R) and will scoff and say, ‘Why has the Lord done such a thing to this land and to this temple?’(S) People will answer,(T) ‘Because they have forsaken(U) the Lord their God, who brought their ancestors out of Egypt, and have embraced other gods, worshiping and serving them—that is why the Lord brought all this disaster(V) on them.’”

Solomon’s Other Activities(W)

10 At the end of twenty years, during which Solomon built these two buildings—the temple of the Lord and the royal palace— 11 King Solomon gave twenty towns in Galilee to Hiram king of Tyre, because Hiram had supplied him with all the cedar and juniper and gold(X) he wanted. 12 But when Hiram went from Tyre to see the towns that Solomon had given him, he was not pleased with them. 13 “What kind of towns are these you have given me, my brother?” he asked. And he called them the Land of Kabul,[d](Y) a name they have to this day. 14 Now Hiram had sent to the king 120 talents[e] of gold.(Z)

15 Here is the account of the forced labor King Solomon conscripted(AA) to build the Lord’s temple, his own palace, the terraces,[f](AB) the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor,(AC) Megiddo and Gezer.(AD) 16 (Pharaoh king of Egypt had attacked and captured Gezer. He had set it on fire. He killed its Canaanite inhabitants and then gave it as a wedding gift to his daughter,(AE) Solomon’s wife. 17 And Solomon rebuilt Gezer.) He built up Lower Beth Horon,(AF) 18 Baalath,(AG) and Tadmor[g] in the desert, within his land, 19 as well as all his store cities(AH) and the towns for his chariots(AI) and for his horses[h]—whatever he desired to build in Jerusalem, in Lebanon and throughout all the territory he ruled.

20 There were still people left from the Amorites, Hittites,(AJ) Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites(AK) (these peoples were not Israelites). 21 Solomon conscripted the descendants(AL) of all these peoples remaining in the land—whom the Israelites could not exterminate[i](AM)—to serve as slave labor,(AN) as it is to this day. 22 But Solomon did not make slaves(AO) of any of the Israelites; they were his fighting men, his government officials, his officers, his captains, and the commanders of his chariots and charioteers. 23 They were also the chief officials(AP) in charge of Solomon’s projects—550 officials supervising those who did the work.

24 After Pharaoh’s daughter(AQ) had come up from the City of David to the palace Solomon had built for her, he constructed the terraces.(AR)

25 Three(AS) times a year Solomon sacrificed burnt offerings and fellowship offerings on the altar he had built for the Lord, burning incense before the Lord along with them, and so fulfilled the temple obligations.

26 King Solomon also built ships(AT) at Ezion Geber,(AU) which is near Elath(AV) in Edom, on the shore of the Red Sea.[j] 27 And Hiram sent his men—sailors(AW) who knew the sea—to serve in the fleet with Solomon’s men. 28 They sailed to Ophir(AX) and brought back 420 talents[k] of gold,(AY) which they delivered to King Solomon.
