5 Ha Hirame morena oa Tire+ a utloa hore Solomone o tlotsitsoe hore e be morena sebakeng sa ntate oa hae, a romela bahlanka ba hae ho Solomone kaha Hirame esale e le motsoalle oa Davida.*+
2 Solomone le eena a romela molaetsa ho Hirame a re:+
3 “Oa tseba hore ntate oa ka Davida ha aa ka a khona ho haha ntlo e tla tlisa thoriso lebitsong la Jehova ka lebaka la lintoa tseo a neng a li loana ho tsoa mahlakoreng ’ohle, ho fihlela Jehova a mo thusa ho hlola lira* tsa hae.+
4 Empa Jehova Molimo oa ka o entse hore ke phomole ho lira tsohle tsa ka.+ Ha ho na motho ea ntoantšang ebile ha ho letho le lebe le etsahalang.+
5 Kahoo, ke batla ho haha ntlo e tla tlisa thoriso lebitsong la Jehova Molimo oa ka feela joalokaha Jehova a tšepisitse ntate oa ka Davida a re: ‘Mora oa hao eo ke tla mo beha teroneng ea hao sebakeng sa hao, ke eena ea tla aha ntlo e tla tlisa thoriso lebitsong la ka.’+
6 Bolella bahlanka ba hao hore ba ntšakhele lifate tsa kedare Lebanone.+ Bahlanka ba ka ba tla sebetsa le bahlanka ba hao ’me ke tla lefa bahlanka ba hao moputso oo u mpehelang oona kaha oa tseba hore ha ho na motho har’a rona ea tsebang ho sakha lifate joaloka Basidone.”+
7 Ha Hirame a utloa mantsoe a Solomone, a thaba haholo ’me a re: “Ho ke ho rorisoe Jehova kajeno hobane o file Davida mora ea bohlale hore a buse sechaba sena se seholo.”+
8 Hirame a romela molaetsa ho Solomone a re: “Ke utloile molaetsa oo u nthomeletseng oona. Ke tla etsa sohle seo u se batlang ka hore ke tlise lifate tsa kedare le tsa junipere.+
9 Bahlanka ba ka ba tla li theola ho tloha Lebanone ho ea leoatleng, ke tla li fasa ke be ke li kopanye ’me ke li tsamaise ka metsi a leoatle ho ea sebakeng seo u tla mpolella sona. Ke tla etsa hore u li fumane li fasolotsoe moo ’me u fihle u li nke. Uena u mpatale ka ho fa ba lelapa la ka lijo tseo ke tla li batla.”+
10 Hirame a fa Solomone lifate tsa kedare le tsa junipere tseo a neng a li batla.
11 Solomone a fa Hirame lilithara tse 4 400 000* tsa koro e le lijo bakeng sa ba lelapa la hae le lilithara tse 4 400* tsa oli e hloekileng ea mohloaare.* Solomone o ne a fa Hirame lijo tseo selemo le selemo.+
12 Jehova a fa Solomone bohlale feela joalokaha a ne a mo tšepisitse.+ Ho ile ha e-ba le khotso pakeng tsa Hirame le Solomone ’me ka bobeli ba etsa selekane.
13 Morena Solomone a batla banna ba 30 000 Iseraele eohle hore ba tl’o mo sebeletsa.+
14 O ne a ba romela Lebanone ka lihlopha tsa ba 10 000 ka khoeli. Ba ne ba qeta khoeli ba le Lebanone ’me ba qeta likhoeli tse peli ba le malapeng a bona, Adonirame+ e le molaoli oa bona.
15 Solomone o ne a e-na le basebeletsi ba 70 000 ba jarang meroalo* le ba 80 000 ba betlang majoe+ lithabeng+
16 hammoho le matona+ a 3 300 a neng a etella basebetsi pele.
17 Ho latela taelo ea morena, ba fata majoe a maholo, a theko e phahameng+ hore ba etse motheo+ oa ntlo ka majoe a betliloeng.+
18 Lihahi tsa Solomone, lihahi tsa Hirame le Bagebale+ tsa betla majoe ’me tsa lokisa lifate le majoe a tl’o haha ntlo.
