1 Hari 9
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Nagpakita ang Panginoon kay Solomon(A)
9 Nang matapos ni Solomon ang pagpapatayo ng templo ng Panginoon at ng kanyang palasyo, at ng iba pa na binalak niyang gawin, 2 nagpakitang muli ang Panginoon sa kanya katulad ng ginawa niya noon sa Gibeon. 3 Sinabi sa kanya ng Panginoon, “Narinig ko ang panalangin at kahilingan mo sa akin. Ang templong ipinatayo mo ang pinili kong lugar kung saan ako pararangalan magpakailanman. Palagi ko itong babantayan at iingatan. 4 At ikaw, kung mamumuhay kang tapat at matuwid sa aking harapan, katulad ng iyong ama na si David, at kung gagawin mo ang lahat ng ipinapagawa ko sa iyo at tutuparin ang aking mga tuntunin at mga utos, 5 paghahariin ko sa Israel ang iyong mga angkan magpakailanman. Ipinangako ko ito sa iyong ama na si David nang sabihin ko sa kanya, ‘Laging magmumula sa angkan mo ang maghahari sa Israel.’ 6 Pero kung tatalikod kayo o ang inyong mga angkan sa akin at hindi susunod sa aking mga utos at mga tuntunin na ibinigay ko sa inyo, at kung maglilingkod at sasamba kayo sa ibang mga dios, 7 paaalisin ko kayo sa lupaing ibinigay ko sa inyo at itatakwil ko ang templong ito na hinirang kong lugar kung saan pararangalan ang aking pangalan. Pagkatapos, kukutyain at pagtatawanan ng lahat ng tao ang Israel. 8 At kahit maganda at tanyag ang templong ito, sisirain ko ito. Magugulat at mamamangha ang lahat ng dumaraan dito at painsultong sasabihin, ‘Bakit ginawa ito ng Panginoon sa lupain at templong ito?’ 9 Sasagot ang iba, ‘Dahil itinakwil nila ang Panginoon na kanilang Dios na naglabas sa kanilang mga ninuno sa Egipto at naglingkod sila at sumamba sa ibang mga dios. Iyan ang dahilan kung bakit pinadalhan sila ng Panginoon ng mga kapahamakan.’ ”
Ang Iba pang Naipatayo ni Solomon(B)
10 Matapos na maipatayo ni Solomon ang dalawang gusali – ang templo ng Panginoon at ang palasyo sa loob ng 20 taon, 11 ibinigay niya ang 20 bayan sa Galilea kay Haring Hiram ng Tyre. Ginawa niya ito dahil tinustusan siya ni Hiram ng lahat ng kahoy na sedro at sipres[a] at ng ginto na kanyang kailangan. 12 Pero nang pumunta si Hiram sa Galilea mula sa Tyre para tingnan ang mga bayan na ibinigay sa kanya ni Solomon, hindi siya nasiyahan dito. 13 Sinabi niya kay Solomon “Aking kapatid, anong klaseng mga bayan itong ibinigay mo sa akin?” Tinawag ni Hiram ang lupaing iyon na Cabul,[b] at ganito pa rin ang tawag dito hanggang ngayon. 14 Nagpadala roon si Hiram kay Solomon ng limang toneladang ginto.
15 Ito ang ulat tungkol sa sapilitang pagpapatrabaho ni Haring Solomon sa mga tao para maipatayo ang templo ng Panginoon at ang kanyang palasyo, sa pagpapatibay ng lupain sa bandang silangan ng lungsod, sa pagpapatibay ng pader ng Jerusalem, at sa pagpapatayong muli ng mga lungsod ng Hazor, Megido at Gezer. 16 (Nilusob ang Gezer at inagaw ito ng Faraon na hari ng Egipto. Sinunog niya ito at pinagpapatay ang mga naninirahan dito na mga Cananeo. Ibinigay niya ang lungsod na ito sa kanyang anak na babae bilang regalo sa kasal nito kay Solomon. 17 At ipinatayong muli ni Solomon ang Gezer.) Ipinatayo rin niya ang ibabang bahagi ng Bet Horon, 18 ang Baalat, ang Tamar[c] na nasa disyerto na sakop ng kanyang lupain, 19 at ang lahat ng lungsod na imbakan ng kanyang mga pangangailangan, at mga karwahe at mga kabayo. Ipinatayo niya ang lahat ng ninanais niyang ipatayo sa Jerusalem, sa Lebanon at sa lahat ng lupaing sakop niya.
20-21 May mga tao pa na naiwan sa Israel na hindi mga Israelita. Sila ay mga lahi ng mga Amoreo, Heteo, Perezeo, Hiveo at mga Jebuseo, na hindi nalipol ng lubusan ng mga Israelita nang sakupin nila ang lupain ng Canaan. Ginawa silang alipin ni Solomon at pinilit na magtrabaho, at nananatili silang alipin hanggang ngayon. 22 Pero hindi ginawang alipin ni Solomon ang sinumang Israelita. Sa halip, ginawa niya silang kanyang mga sundalo, mga opisyal, mga kapitan ng mga sundalo, mga kumander ng kanyang mga mangangarwahe at mga mangangabayo. 23 Ang 550 sa kanila ay ginawa ni Solomon na mga opisyal na mamamahala sa mga manggagawa ng kanyang mga proyekto.
24 Nang matapos na ang palasyo na ipinagawa ni Solomon para sa kanyang asawa, na anak ng Faraon, inilipat niya ito roon mula sa Lungsod ni David. Pagkatapos, pinatambakan niya ng lupa ang mababang bahagi ng lungsod.
25 Tatlong beses sa bawat taon, nag-aalay si Solomon ng mga handog na sinusunog at mga handog para sa mabuting relasyon[d] doon sa altar na ipinagawa niya para sa Panginoon. Nagsusunog din siya ng mga insenso sa presensya ng Panginoon.
Kaya natapos ni Solomon ang pagpapatayo ng templo.
26 Nagpagawa rin si Solomon ng mga barko sa Ezion Geber, malapit sa Elat[e] na sakop ng Edom, sa dalampasigan ng Dagat na Pula. 27 Nagpadala si Hiram ng mga marino na bihasang mandaragat, kasama ng mga tauhan ni Solomon. 28 Naglayag sila sa Ofir at bumalik sila na may dalang 15 toneladang ginto at dinala nila ito kay Haring Solomon.
1 Kings 9
GOD’S WORD Translation
The Lord Answers Solomon’s Prayer(A)
9 Solomon finished building the Lord’s temple, the royal palace, and everything ⌞else⌟ he wanted to build. 2 Then the Lord appeared to him a second time, as he had appeared to him in Gibeon. 3 The Lord said to him,
“I have heard your prayer for mercy that you made to me.
I have declared that this temple which you have built is holy
so that my name may be placed there forever.
My eyes and my heart will always be there.
4 “If you will be faithful to me as your father David was
(with a sincere and upright heart),
do everything I command,
and keep my laws and rules,
5 then I will establish your royal dynasty over Israel forever
as I promised your father David when I said,
‘You will never fail to have an heir on the throne of Israel.’
6 But if you and your descendants dare to turn away from me
and do not keep my commands and laws that I gave to you,
and follow and serve other gods and worship them,
7 then I will cut Israel out of the land I gave them.
I will reject this temple that I declared holy for my name.
Israel will be an example
and an object of ridicule for all the people of the world.
8 Everyone passing by this temple, as impressive as it is, will be appalled.
They will gasp and ask,
‘Why did the Lord do these things to this land and this temple?’
9 They will answer ⌞themselves⌟,
‘They abandoned the Lord their God,
who brought their ancestors out of Egypt.
They adopted other gods, worshiped, and served them.
That is why the Lord brought this disaster on them.’ ”
Solomon Completes His Construction(B)
10 It took Solomon 20 years to build the two houses (the Lord’s house and the royal palace). 11 ⌞When King Solomon had finished,⌟ he gave King Hiram of Tyre 20 cities in Galilee. (Hiram had supplied Solomon with as much cedar and cypress lumber and gold as he wanted.) 12 Hiram left Tyre to see the cities Solomon gave him. However, they didn’t please him. 13 “What kind of cities have you given me, brother?” he asked. So he named it the region of Cabul [Good for Nothing]. (⌞They’re⌟ still ⌞called⌟ that today.) 14 Hiram had sent the king 9,000 pounds of gold.
15 This is the record of the forced laborers whom King Solomon drafted to build the Lord’s house, his own house, the Millo,[a] the walls of Jerusalem, and ⌞the cities of⌟ Hazor, Megiddo, and Gezer. 16 (The king of Egypt captured Gezer, burned it down, and killed the Canaanites living there. Then he gave it to his daughter, Solomon’s wife, as a wedding present.) 17 So Solomon rebuilt Gezer, Lower Beth Horon, 18 Baalath, Tadmor in the desert (inside the country), and 19 all the storage cities that he owned. He also built cities for his chariots, cities for his war horses, and whatever ⌞else⌟ he wanted to build in Jerusalem, Lebanon, or the entire territory that he governed.
20 The Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites had been left ⌞in the land⌟ because the Israelites had not been able to claim them for God by destroying them.[b] They were not Israelites, 21 but they had descendants who were still in the land. Solomon drafted them for slave labor. (They are still ⌞slaves⌟ today.) 22 But Solomon didn’t make any of the Israelites slaves. Instead, they were soldiers, officials, officers, generals, and commanders of his chariot and cavalry units.
23 These were the officers in charge of Solomon’s projects: 550 foremen for the people who did the work.
24 Pharaoh’s daughter moved from the City of David to the palace that Solomon had built for her. Then he built the Millo.
25 Three times a year Solomon sacrificed burnt offerings and fellowship offerings on the altar he built for the Lord. He burnt them on the altar that was in the Lord’s presence. And he finished the temple.
26 King Solomon also built a fleet near the Red Sea coast at Ezion Geber by Elath in Edom. 27 Hiram sent his own servants ⌞who were⌟ experienced seamen with the fleet. Along with Solomon’s servants 28 they went to Ophir, got 31,500 pounds of gold, and brought it to King Solomon.
1 Kings 9
New King James Version
God’s Second Appearance to Solomon(A)
9 And (B)it came to pass, when Solomon had finished building the house of the Lord (C)and the king’s house, and (D)all Solomon’s desire which he wanted to do, 2 that the Lord appeared to Solomon the second time, (E)as He had appeared to him at Gibeon. 3 And the Lord said to him: (F)“I have heard your prayer and your supplication that you have made before Me; I have consecrated this house which you have built (G)to put My name there forever, (H)and My eyes and My heart will be there perpetually. 4 Now if you (I)walk before Me (J)as your father David walked, in integrity of heart and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded you, and if you (K)keep My statutes and My judgments, 5 then I will establish the throne of your kingdom over Israel forever, (L)as I promised David your father, saying, ‘You shall not fail to have a man on the throne of Israel.’ 6 (M)But if you or your sons at all [a]turn from following Me, and do not keep My commandments and My statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other gods and worship them, 7 (N)then I will [b]cut off Israel from the land which I have given them; and this house which I have consecrated (O)for My name I will cast out of My sight. (P)Israel will be a proverb and a byword among all peoples. 8 And as for (Q)this house, which is exalted, everyone who passes by it will be astonished and will hiss, and say, (R)‘Why has the Lord done thus to this land and to this house?’ 9 Then they will answer, ‘Because they forsook the Lord their God, who brought their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have embraced other gods, and worshiped them and served them; therefore the Lord has brought all this (S)calamity on them.’ ”
Solomon and Hiram Exchange Gifts
10 Now (T)it happened at the end of twenty years, when Solomon had built the two houses, the house of the Lord and the king’s house 11 (U)(Hiram the king of Tyre had supplied Solomon with cedar and cypress and gold, as much as he desired), that King Solomon then gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee. 12 Then Hiram went from Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him, but they did not please him. 13 So he said, “What kind of cities are these which you have given me, my brother?” (V)And he called them the land of [c]Cabul, as they are to this day. 14 Then Hiram sent the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold.
Solomon’s Additional Achievements(W)
15 And this is the reason for (X)the labor force which King Solomon raised: to build the house of the Lord, his own house, [d]the (Y)Millo, the wall of Jerusalem, (Z)Hazor, (AA)Megiddo, and (AB)Gezer. 16 (Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up and taken Gezer and burned it with fire, (AC)had killed the Canaanites who dwelt in the city, and had given it as a dowry to his daughter, Solomon’s wife.) 17 And Solomon built Gezer, Lower (AD)Beth Horon, 18 (AE)Baalath, and Tadmor in the wilderness, in the land of Judah, 19 all the storage cities that Solomon had, cities for (AF)his chariots and cities for his (AG)cavalry, and whatever Solomon (AH)desired to build in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.
20 (AI)All the people who were left of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, who were not of the children of Israel— 21 that is, their descendants (AJ)who were left in the land after them, (AK)whom the children of Israel had not been able to destroy completely—(AL)from these Solomon raised (AM)forced labor, as it is to this day. 22 But of the children of Israel Solomon (AN)made no forced laborers, because they were men of war and his servants: his officers, his captains, commanders of his chariots, and his cavalry.
23 Others were chiefs of the officials who were over Solomon’s work: (AO)five hundred and fifty, who ruled over the people who did the work.
24 But (AP)Pharaoh’s daughter came up from the City of David to (AQ)her house which [e]Solomon had built for her. (AR)Then he built the Millo.
25 (AS)Now three times a year Solomon offered burnt offerings and peace offerings on the altar which he had built for the Lord, and he burned incense with them on the altar that was before the Lord. So he finished the temple.
26 (AT)King Solomon also built a fleet of ships at (AU)Ezion Geber, which is near [f]Elath on the shore of the Red Sea, in the land of Edom. 27 (AV)Then Hiram sent his servants with the fleet, seamen who knew the sea, to work with the servants of Solomon. 28 And they went to (AW)Ophir, and acquired four hundred and twenty talents of gold from there, and brought it to King Solomon.
