5 Nuko Hiramu+ umwami wa Tiro+ atuma abasuku biwe+ kuri Salomo, kuko yari yumvise yuko ari we bari barobanuje amavuta ngo abe umwami mu kibanza ca se wiwe; kuko Hiramu yari yamye akunda Dawidi+. 2 Salomo na we atuma kuri Hiramu ati+: 3 “Wewe ubwawe urazi neza yuko Dawidi dawe atashoboye kwubakira inzu izina rya Yehova Imana yiwe kubera intambara+ abansi biwe barwanye na we irya n’ino yiwe, gushika Yehova abashize munsi y’ubworo bw’ibirenge vyiwe. 4 Ubu rero Yehova Imana yanje yampaye akaruhuko impande zose+. Nta wundwanya ariho, kandi nta kintu na kimwe kibi kiriko kiraba+. 5 Kandi ehe ndiko niyumvira ivyo kwubakira inzu izina rya Yehova Imana yanje+, nk’uko nyene Yehova yasezeraniye Dawidi dawe ati: ‘Umuhungu wawe nzoshira ku ntebe y’ubwami yawe mu kibanza cawe, ni we azokwubakira inzu izina ryanje+.’ 6 None rero, tegeka bancire amasederi y’i Libani+; abasuku banje bazoba bari kumwe n’abasuku bawe, kandi impembo y’abasuku bawe nzoyiguha nkurikije ivyo uzovuga vyose, kuko wewe ubwawe uzi neza yuko muri twebwe ata n’umwe azi guca ibiti nk’Abanyasidoni+.”
7 Hiramu+ akimara kwumva amajambo ya Salomo, aranezerwa rwose, maze avuga ati: “Arahezagiwe+ Yehova uno musi, kuko yahaye Dawidi umuhungu w’inkerebutsi+ ngo aganze aba bantu benshi+!” 8 Nuko Hiramu atuma kuri Salomo ati: “Numvise ivyo wantumyeko. Jewe nzokora ibiguhimbara vyose mu bijanye n’ibiti vy’amasederi n’ibiti vy’imiberoshi+. 9 Abasuku banje bazobimanukana ku kiyaga babikuye i Libani+; nayo jewe, nzobifatanya bimere nk’amasaso, bijane ikiyaga gushika ahantu uzomenyesha+; nzobifatanurira koko ng’aho, nawe uheze ubitware; hanyuma nawe, uze ukore ibimpimbara mu gutanga ibifungurwa vy’urugo rwanje+.”
10 Gutyo Hiramu aha Salomo ibiti vy’amasederi n’ibiti vy’imiberoshi, uko bimuhimbara kwose. 11 Salomo na we aha Hiramu ingero za koro+ z’ingano ibihumbi mirongo ibiri ngo zibe ibifungurwa vy’urugo rwiwe be n’ingero za koro mirongo ibiri z’amavuta asekuye+. Ivyo ni vyo Salomo yaha Hiramu ku mwaka ku mwaka+. 12 Yehova na we aha Salomo ubukerebutsi, nk’uko nyene yari yaramusezeraniye+; nuko haba amahoro hagati ya Hiramu na Salomo, maze bompi bapfundika isezerano.
13 Kandi Umwami Salomo yaguma adugana abagenewe ibikorwa vy’agahato abakuye muri Isirayeli yose; abo bene kugenerwa ibikorwa vy’agahato+ bashika ku bagabo ibihumbi mirongo itatu. 14 Yarabarungika i Libani ari ibihumbi cumicumi ku kwezi, bakaza barakurakuranwa. Ukwezi kumwe bakumara i Libani, amezi abiri bakayamara mu ngo zabo+; Adoniramu+ ni we yagaba abagenewe+ ibikorwa vy’agahato+. 15 Nuko Salomo agira+ abantu ibihumbi mirongo irindwi batwara imizigo+ be n’abantu ibihumbi mirongo umunani baringaniza amabuye+ ku musozi+, 16 hatarimwo ivyariho+ vya Salomo bacungera igikorwa, bano bakaba bari abahagarikizi+ ibihumbi bitatu n’amajana atatu bagaba abantu bakora ico gikorwa. 17 Umwami ategeka rero yuko bimba amabuye maninimanini, amabuye azimvye+, kugira ngo umushinge+ wa nya nzu ushingishwe amabuye abaje+. 18 Nuko abubatsi ba Salomo n’abubatsi ba Hiramu be n’Abagebali+ babaza amabuye; babandanya gutegura ibiti n’amabuye kugira bubake nya nzu.
