15 Bukeye Hiramu umwami w’i Tiro yumvise ko bimitse Salomo ngo abe umwami mu cyimbo cya se, amutumaho abagaragu be kuko uhereye kera Hiramu yuzuraga na Dawidi.
16 Salomo aherako atuma kuri Hiramu ati

19 Nuko ngambiriye kubakira izina ry’Uwiteka Imana yanjye inzu, nk’uko Uwiteka yabwiye umukambwe wanjye Dawidi ati ‘Umuhungu wawe nzashyira ku ngoma yawe mu cyimbo cyawe, ni we uzubakira izina ryanjye inzu.’
20 Nuko none tegeka abantemera imyerezi y’i Lebanoni, kandi bazakorana n’abagaragu banjye. Nuko nzajya nguha ibihembo by’abagaragu bawe uko uzambwira kose, kuko uzi yuko nta n’umwe muri twe w’umuhanga uzi gutema ibiti nk’Abasidoni.”

22 Hiramu atuma kuri Salomo ati “Numvise ibyo untumyeho. Nuko nzagukorera ibyo wansabye byose by’ibiti by’imyerezi n’imiberoshi.
23 Abagaragu banjye bazabikura kuri Lebanoni babimanure babigeze ku nyanja, nibigerayo nzabihambiranya nk’ibihare kugira ngo binyure mu nyanja, mbigeze aho uzanyereka abe ari ho babihamburira maze uze ubyende. Kandi nugaburira abo mu rugo rwanjye, uzaba ushohoje ibyo nshaka byose.”
24 Nuko Hiramu aha Salomo ibiti by’imyerezi n’imiberoshi, ibyo yashakaga byose.
25 Salomo na we akajya agerera Hiramu incuro z’ingano inzovu ebyiri, n’incuro makumyabiri z’amavuta meza byo kugaburira abo mu rugo rwe. Uko ni ko Salomo yahaga Hiramu uko umwaka utashye.
26 Nuko Uwiteka aha Salomo ubwenge nk’uko yamusezeranije, abana amahoro na Hiramu kandi basezerana isezerano ryo gufashanya.
27 Umwami Salomo atoranya abantu b’abanyagihe mu Bisirayeli, bose bari inzovu eshatu.
28 Akajya abohereza muri Lebanoni uko ukwezi gutashye, abantu inzovu imwe bagafatanya igihe cy’ukwezi kumwe, bacyura igihe bakamara iwabo amezi abiri baruhuka. Adoniramu ni we wari umutware w’abo banyagihe.
