< 2 Mbiri 9 >
1 Mfumu yayikazi ya ku Seba itamva za kutchuka kwa Solomoni, inabwera mu Yerusalemu kudzamuyesa ndi mafunso okhwima. Inafika ndi gulu lalikulu la ngamira zonyamula zokometsera zakudya, golide wambiri, ndi miyala yokongola. Inafika kwa Solomoni ndipo inayankhula naye zonse zimene zinali mu mtima mwake.
A LOHE ke alii wahine o Seba i ke kaulana o Solomona, hele mai ia i Ierusalema e hoao ia Solomona i na mea pohihihi, me ka huakai nui, me na kamelo e lawe ana i na mea ala, a me ke gula he nui, a me na pohaku makamae; a hiki kela io Solomona la, kamailio pu oia me ia i na mea a pau loa iloko o kona naau.
2 Solomoni anayankha mafunso ake onse ndipo panalibe kanthu kalikonse kovuta kwa iye komwe sanathe kufotokozera mfumu yayikaziyo.
A hai aku o Solomona ia ia i na mea a pau loa ana i ninau ai; aohe mea i koe a Solomona i hai ole aku ai ia ia.
3 Mfumu yayikazi ya ku Seba itaona nzeru za Solomoni komanso nyumba yaufumu imene anamanga,
A ike ke alii wahine o Seba i ka naauao o Solomona, a me ka hale ana i kukulu ai,
4 chakudya cha pa tebulo pake, moyo wa antchito ake ndi zovala zawo; atumiki opereka zakumwa ndi zovala zawo ndiponso nsembe zopsereza zimene ankapereka ku Nyumba ya Yehova, inathedwa nzeru.
A me ka ai o kona papaaina, a me ka noho ana o kana poe kauwa, a me ke ku ana o kana poe lawelawe, a me ko lakou kahiko ana; a i ka poe lawe kiaha a me ko lakou kahiko ana, a me ke ala kahi i pii ai oia iluna i ka hale o Iehova; aole hanu i koe iloko ona.
5 Iyo inati kwa mfumu, “Mbiri imene ndinamva ndili ku dziko kwathu, ya zomwe munachita komanso nzeru zanu ndi yoona.
Olelo aku la ia i ke alii, He oiaio ka mea a'u i lohe ai ma kuu aina no kau hana ana a me kou naauao.
6 Koma sindinakhulupirire zimene ankanena mpaka nditafika ndi kuona ndi maso anga. Kunena zoona sanandiwuze ngakhale theka lomwe la kuchuluka kwa nzeru zanu, pakuti zaposa zimene ndinamva.
Aole nae i hoomaopopo i ka lakou olelo, a hiki mai au, a ike ko'u mau maka; aia hoi, aole i haiia mai ia'u ka hapalua o kou nui, a me kou naauao; ua hooi aku oe i ka lono ana a'u i lohe ai.
7 Ngodala anthu anu! Ngodala atumiki anu amene amayimirira pamaso panu nthawi zonse ndi kumamva nzeru zanu!
Pomaikai kou poe kanaka, a pomaikai hoi keia poe kauwa au, ka poe e ku mau ana imua o kou alo, a e lohe ana hoi i kou naauao.
8 Atamandike Yehova Mulungu wanu amene wakondwera nanu nakukhazikani pa mpando wake waufumu kuti mulamulire mʼmalo mwa Yehova Mulungu wanu. Chifukwa cha chikondi cha Mulungu wanu pa Israeli, ndi khumbo lake kuti akusungeni mpaka muyaya, Iye wayika inu kukhala mfumu yawo kuti mulamulire moyenera ndi mwachilungamo.”
E hoomaikaiia o Iehova kou Akua, ka mea i makemake mai ia oe e hoonoho ia oe maluna o kona nohoalii, i alii no Iehova no kou Akua; no ke aloha ana o kou Akua i ka Iseraela, a me kona hookupaa mau loa ana ia lakou, nolaila oia i hoonoho iho ai ia oe maluna o lakou i alii e hana i ka pono a me ka pololei.
9 Kenaka iyo inapereka kwa mfumu makilogalamu 4,000 a golide, zonunkhira zambirimbiri ndi miyala yokongola. Nʼkale lomwe sikunaonekenso zonunkhiritsa ngati zomwe mfumu yayikazi ya ku Seba inapereka kwa mfumu Solomoni.
A haawi mai la oia i ke alii i hookahi haneri talena gula a me ka iwakalua, a me na mea ala he nui loa, a me na pohaku makamae; aohe mea ala e ae e like me ka mea a ke alii wahine no Seba i haawi mai ai i ke alii ia Solomona.
10 (Anthu a Hiramu ndi anthu a Solomoni anabweretsa golide kuchokera ku Ofiri ndipo anabweretsanso mitengo ya mʼbawa ndi miyala yokongola.
A o na kauwa a Hurama a me na kauwa a Solomona ka poe i lawe i ke gula mai Opira mai, lawe no hoi lakou i na laau aleguma a me na pohaku makamae.
11 Mfumu inagwiritsa ntchito mitengo ya mʼbawa pokonzera makwerero a Nyumba ya Yehova ndi nyumba yaufumu ndiponso kupangira anthu oyimba apangwe ndi azeze. Zinthu zonga zimenezi sizinaonekeponso mu Yuda).
Hana iho la o Solomona me ka laau aleguma i alapii no ka hale o Iehova, a no ka hale o ke alii, a me na mea kani, a me na kuolo kani no ka poe mele; aole i ikeia na mea e like me ua mau mea la ma ka aina o Iuda.
12 Mfumu Solomoni inapereka kwa mfumu yayikazi ya ku Seba zonse zimene inazifuna ndi kuzipempha ndipo Solomoni anayipatsa mfumuyo zoposa zimene iyo inabweretsa kwa Solomoni. Ndipo mfumuyo inabwerera ku dziko lake pamodzi ndi atumiki ake.
A haawi aku la ke alii o Solomona i ke alii wahine no Seba i kona makemake a pau, na mea ana i noi mai ai, o na mea kekahi ana i haawi mai ai na ke alii: alaila, huli ae la oia a hele aku la i kona aina, oia a me kana poe kauwa.
13 Kulemera kwa golide amene Solomoni amalandira pa chaka kunali makilogalamu 23,000,
A o ke kaupaona ana o ke gula i laweia ia Solomona i ka makahiki hookahi, eono haneri a me kanaonokumamaono talena gula:
14 osawerengera amene ankabwera ndi anthu ochita malonda ndi osinthanitsa zinthu. Komanso mafumu onse a ku Arabiya ndi abwanamkubwa a mʼdzikomo amabweretsa golide ndi siliva kwa Solomoni.
Okoa ka mea a ka poe kuai, a me ka poe kalepa i lawe mai ai: a o na'lii a pau o Arabia, a me na kiaaina, lawe mai la lakou i ke gula, a me ke kala ia Solomona.
15 Mfumu Solomoni inapanga zishango zazikulu 200 zagolide wosasantha. Mʼchishango chilichonse mumalowa golide wolemera makilogalamu asanu ndi awiri.
Hana iho la o Solomona ke alii i na paleumauma gula maemae ole elua haneri; eono haneri sekela gula maemae ole ma ka paleumauma hookahi.
16 Iye anapanganso zishango zingʼonozingʼono 300 zagolide wosasantha ndipo chishango chilichonse chimapangidwa ndi golide wolemera makilogalamu atatu. Mfumu inayika zishangozi mʼnyumba yaufumu yotchedwa Nkhalango ya Lebanoni.
A me na palekaua gula maemae ole ekolu haneri; ekolu haneri sekela gula maemae ole ma ka palekaua hookahi; a waiho iho la ke ahi ia mau mea iloko o ka hale o ka ululaau o Lebanona.
17 Ndipo mfumu inapanganso mpando waukulu waufumu wa nyanga za njovu ndipo unakutidwa ndi golide woyengeka bwino.
A hana iho la ke alii i nohoalii niho elepani a nui, a uhi oia ia mea i ke gula maemae.
18 Mpando waufumuwo unali ndi makwerero asanu ndi limodzi ndi choyikapo mapazi cholumikizidwa ku mpandowo. Mʼmbali zonse za mpandowo munali zosanjikapo manja, ndi chifanizo cha mkango chitayima posanjikapo manjapo.
Eono anuu i ka nohoalii, a he paepae wawae gula, e pili ana i ka nohoalii, a me na kalele ma kela aoao a me keia aoao o kahi e noho ai, a elua liona e ku ana ma keia mau aoao.
19 Mikango khumi ndi iwiri inayimirira pa makwerero asanu ndi imodzi aja. Umodzi mbali ina ya khwerero ndi wina mbali inayo. Palibe mpando wonga uwu umene unapangidwapo mu ufumu wina uliwonse.
O na liona he umikumamalua i ka malaila maluna o na anuu, eono ma kela aoao a ma keia aoao; aohe mea e like ai i hanaia ma na aupuni a pau.
20 Zikho zonse za mfumu Solomoni zinali zagolide, ndiponso zipangizo zonse za ku nyumba yaufumu ya Nkhalango ya Lebanoni zinali zagolide oyengeka bwino. Panalibe chinthu chopangidwa ndi siliva, chifukwa siliva samayesedwa kanthu mʼnthawi ya Solomoni.
A o na kiaha inu a pau loa o ke alii, o Solomona, he gula no; a o na ipu a pau o ka hale o ka ululaau o Lebanona he gula maemae; aole he kala kekahi, ua manaia oia he mea ole, i na la o Solomona.
21 Mfumu inali ndi sitima zambiri zapamadzi zimene zimayendetsedwa ndi antchito a Hiramu. Zimabwera kamodzi pa zaka zitatu zilizonse zitanyamula golide, siliva ndi nyanga za njovu, ndiponso anyani ndi apusi.
No ka mea, holo na moku o ke alii ma Taresisa me na kauwa a Hurama, hookahi ku ana o na moku o Taresisa i na makahiki ekolu, e lawe mai ana i ke gula, a me ke kala a me na niho elepani, a me na keko a me na pikaka.
22 Mfumu Solomoni anapambana mafumu ena onse a dziko lapansi pa chuma ndi nzeru.
A oi e aku o Solomona mamua o na'lii a pau loa o ka honua ma ka waiwai a me ka naauao.
23 Mafumu onse a dziko lapansi ankafunafuna kuonana ndi Solomoni kuti adzamve nzeru zimene Mulungu anayika mu mtima mwake.
Ua imi na'lii a pau o ka honua i ke alo o Solomona e lohe i kona naauao, ka mea a ke Akua i hookomo ai iloko o kona naau.
24 Chaka ndi chaka, aliyense amene amabwera, amabweretsa mphatso monga zipangizo zasiliva ndi golide, mikanjo, zida zankhondo ndi zokometsera zakudya komanso akavalo ndi abulu.
A lawe mai lakou, kela mea keia mea, i kana makana, i na ipu kala, a me na ipu gula, a me na aahu, a me na mea kaua, a me na mea ala, a me na lio, a me na hoki, he haawina i kela makahiki i keia makahiki.
25 Solomoni anali ndi zipinda 4,000 zodyeramo akavalo ndi magaleta, ndi akavalo 12,000 amene amawasunga mʼmizinda yosungira magaleta ndiponso ena anali ndi iye ku Yerusalemu.
Aia no ia Solomona na kauhale, kahi no na lio, a no na halekaa eha tausani, a me na hoohololio he umikumamalua tausani; a hoonoho oia ia lakou iloko o na kulanakauhale no na kaa, a ma Ierusalema kekahi me ke alii.
26 Iye ankalamulira mafumu onse kuyambira ku mtsinje wa Yufurate mpaka ku dziko la Afilisti, kukafika ku malire a dziko la Igupto.
A noho alii oia maluna o na'lii a pau mai ka muliwai a hiki i ka aina o Pilisetia, a i ka mokuna o Aigupita.
27 Mfumu inasandutsa siliva kukhala wambiri ngati miyala wamba mu Yerusalemu ndipo mikungudza kukhala yochuluka ngati mitengo ya mkuyu ya ku zigwa.
A hoolilo ae la ke alii i ke kala ma Ierusalema e like me na pohaku, a haawi mai i na laau kedera e like me na laau sukamorea ma ke awawa i nui loa.
28 Solomoni ankayitanitsa akavalo ake kuchokera ku Igupto ndi mayiko ena onse.
A ua kaiia mai na lio no Solomona mai Aigupita mai, a mailoko mai o na aina a pau.
29 Tsono ntchito zina zonse za Solomoni, kuyambira pachiyambi mpaka kumaliza, kodi sizinalembedwa mʼbuku la mbiri la mneneri Natani, ndi mʼbuku la uneneri wa Ahiya wa ku Silo ndi mʼbuku la masomphenya a mlosi Ido, lokamba za Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati?
A o na mea i koe a Solomona i hana'i, mamua, a mahope hoi, aole anei i kakauia ia mau mea ma ka palapala a Natana, ke kaula, a me ka wanana a Ahiia no Siloni, a ma ka wanana a Ido ana i wanana ai no Ieroboama ke keiki a Nebata?
30 Solomoni analamulira Aisraeli onse ku Yerusalemu zaka makumi anayi.
A noho alii o Solomona ma Ierusalema maluna o ka Iseraela a pau i na makahiki hookahi kanaha.
31 Ndipo anamwalira nagona ndi makolo ake. Anayikidwa mʼmanda mu mzinda wa Davide abambo ake. Ndipo Rehobowamu, mwana wake, analowa ufumu mʼmalo mwake.
A hiamoe iho la o Solomona me kona mau makua, a kanu lakou ia ia ma ke kulanakauhale o Davida o kona makua, a noho alii iho la o Rehoboama mahope ona.
