1 Mafumu 9
1 Solomoni atatsiriza kumanga Nyumba ya Yehova ndi nyumba yaufumu, ndi kukwaniritsa kuchita zonse zimene ankafuna,
And it came to pass when Solomon had finished building the house of the Lord, and the king's house, and all the work of Solomon, whatever he wished to perform,
2 Yehova anamuonekera kachiwiri, monga momwe anamuonekera ku Gibiyoni.
that the Lord appeared to Solomon a second time, as he appeared in Gabaon.
3 Yehova ananena kwa iye kuti: “Ndamva pemphero ndi pembedzero lako pa zimene wapempha pamaso panga. Ndayipatula Nyumba iyi, imene wamanga, poyikamo Dzina langa mpaka muyaya. Maso anga ndi mtima wanga zidzakhala pamenepo nthawi zonse.
And the Lord said to him, I have heard the voice of your prayer, and your supplication which you made before me: I have done for you according to all your prayer: I have hallowed this house which you have built to put my name there for ever, and mine eyes and my heart shall be there always.
4 “Kunena za iwe, ukayenda pamaso panga mokhulupirika, mwangwiro ndi moona mtima monga momwe anachitira abambo ako Davide, ndi kuchita zonse zimene ndakulamula ndi kusamalitsa malangizo ndi malamulo anga,
And if you will walk before me as David your father walked, in holiness of heart and uprightness, and so as to do according to all that I commanded him, and shall keep my ordinances and my commandments:
5 Ine ndidzakhazikitsa mpando wako waufumu pa Israeli mpaka muyaya, monga ndinalonjezera abambo ako Davide pamene ndinati, ‘Sipadzasowa munthu pa mpando waufumu wa Israeli.’
then will I establish the throne of your kingdom in Israel for ever, as I spoke to David your father, saying, There shall not fail you a man to rule in Israel.
6 “Koma ngati iwe kapena ana ako mudzapatuka ndi kuleka kusunga malamulo ndi mawu anga amene ndakupatsani ndi kupita kukatumikira milungu ina ndi kuyipembedza,
But if you or your children do in any wise revolt from me, and do not keep my commandments and my ordinances, which Moses set before you, and you go and serve other gods, and worship them:
7 pamenepo Ine ndidzazula Aisraeli mʼdziko limene ndinawapatsa ndiponso ndidzayikana Nyumba ino imene ndayipatula chifukwa cha Dzina langa. Pamenepo Aisraeli adzasanduka mwambi ndi chinthu chonyozedwa pakati pa anthu onse.
then will I cut off Israel from the land which I have given them, and this house which I have consecrated to my name I will cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a desolation and a byword to all nations.
8 Ndipo ngakhale kuti tsopano Nyumba ya Mulunguyi ndi yokongola kwambiri, onse amene adzadutsa pano adzadabwa kwambiri ndipo adzatsonya ndipo adzati, ‘Nʼchifukwa chiyani Yehova wachita chinthu chotere mʼdziko muno ndi pa Nyumba ya Mulunguyi?’
And this house, which is high, shall be [so that] every one that passes by it shall be amazed, and shall hiss; and they shall say, Therefore has the Lord done thus to this land, and to this house?
9 Anthu adzayankha kuti, ‘Nʼchifukwa chakuti asiya Yehova Mulungu wawo amene anatulutsa makolo awo mʼdziko la Igupto, ndipo akangamira milungu ina ndi kumayipembedza ndi kuyitumikira. Choncho Iye wabweretsa zovuta zonsezi.’”
And [men] shall say, Because they forsook the Lord their God, who brought out their fathers from Egypt, out of the house of bondage, and they attached themselves to strange gods, and worshipped them, and served them: therefore the Lord has brought this evil upon them. Then Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharao out of the city of David into his house which he built for himself in those days.
10 Patatha zaka makumi awiri, ndiye nthawi imene Solomoni anamanga nyumba ziwirizi: Nyumba ya Yehova ndi nyumba yaufumu,
[During] twenty years in which Solomon was building the two houses, the house of the Lord, and the house of the king,
11 Mfumu Solomoni anapereka mizinda makumi awiri ya ku Galileya kwa Hiramu mfumu ya ku Turo chifukwa Hiramu nʼkuti atapereka mitengo yonse ya mkungudza ndi ya payini ndiponso golide yense zimene Solomoni ankazifuna.
Chiram king of Tyre helped Solomon with cedar wood, and fir wood, and with gold, and all that he wished for: then the king gave Chiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.
12 Koma Hiramu atabwera kuchokera ku Turo kudzaona mizinda imene Solomoni anamupatsa, sanasangalatsidwe nayo mizindayo.
So Chiram departed from Tyre, and went into Galilee to see the cities which Solomon gave to him; and they pleased him not. And he said,
13 Iye anafunsa kuti, “Mʼbale wanga, kodi iyi nʼkukhala mizinda yondipatsa?” Ndipo iye anayitcha mizindayo Dziko la Kabuli, dzina lomwe amatchedwa mpaka lero lino.
What [are] these cities which you have given me, brother? And he called them Boundary until this day.
14 Koma Hiramu anali atatumiza kwa mfumu golide oposa makilogalamu 4,000.
And Chiram brought to Solomon a hundred and twenty talents of gold,
15 Izi ndi zimene anachita Mfumu Solomoni: Analamula anthu kuti agwire ntchito yathangata pomanga Nyumba ya Yehova, nyumba yake, malo achitetezo a Milo, mpanda wa Yerusalemu, Hazori, Megido ndi Gezeri.
16 (Farao mfumu ya ku Igupto inali itathira nkhondo ndi kulanda Gezeri. Iye anatentha mzindawo. Anapha Akanaani amene ankakhala mʼmenemo ndipo kenaka anawupereka ngati mphatso yaukwati kwa mwana wake wamkazi amene anakwatiwa ndi Solomoni.
17 Ndipo Solomoni anamanganso Gezeri.) Iye anamanga Beti-Horoni Wakumunsi,
18 Baalati ndi Tadimori ku chipululu, mʼdziko lake lomwelo,
19 pamodzinso ndi mizinda yake yosungira chuma ndiponso mizinda yosungiramo magaleta ndi akavalo ake. Anamanganso chilichonse chimene anafuna kumanga ku Yerusalemu, ku Lebanoni ndi ku madera onse amene iye ankalamulira.
20 Panali anthu amene anatsala pakati pa mitundu ya Aamori, Ahiti, Aperezi, Ahivi ndi Ayebusi (anthu awa sanali Aisraeli).
21 Zimenezi ndiye zinali zidzukulu zawo zotsalira mʼdzikoli, anthu amene Aisraeli sanathe kuwawononga kotheratu. Solomoni anawatenga ndi kukhala akapolo ake ogwira ntchito yathangata, monga zilili mpaka lero lino.
22 Koma Solomoni sanagwiritse ntchito ya ukapolo Mwisraeli aliyense; iwo anali anthu ake ankhondo, nduna zake, atsogoleri a ankhondo, akapitawo ake, olamulira magaleta ndi oyendetsa magaleta ake.
23 Amenewa ndiwo anali akuluakulu oyangʼanira ntchito za Solomoni. Anthu okwana 550 ndiwo ankayangʼanira anthu amene ankagwira ntchitowo.
24 Mwana wamkazi wa Farao atachoka mu Mzinda wa Davide, kupita ku nyumba ya mfumu imene Solomoni anamumangira, Solomoni anamanga malo achitetezo a Milo.
25 Katatu pa chaka Solomoni ankapereka nsembe zopsereza ndi nsembe zachiyanjano pa guwa lansembe limene anamangira Yehova ndiponso ankafukiza lubani pamaso pa Yehova. Potero ankakwaniritsa zoyenera kuchitika mu Nyumba ya Yehova.
26 Mfumu Solomoni anapanganso sitima zapamadzi ku Ezioni Geberi, malo amene ali pafupi ndi Eloti ku Edomu, mʼmbali mwa Nyanja Yofiira.
even that for which king Solomon built a ship in Gasion Gaber near Aelath on the shore of the extremity of the sea in the land of Edom.
27 Ndipo Hiramu anatumiza anthu ake oyendetsa sitima zapamadzi amene ankadziwa za pa nyanja kuti aziyendetsa pamodzi ndi anthu a Solomoni.
And Chiram sent in the ship together with the servants of Solomon servants of his own, mariners to row, men acquainted with the sea.
28 Iwo anapita ku Ofiri ndipo anakatenga golide okwana makilogalamu 14,000, amene anamupereka kwa Mfumu Solomoni.
And they came to Sophira, and took thence a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and brought them to king Solomon.
