1 Tete Solomo gblɔ be, “Yehowa gblɔ be yeanɔ lilikpo do viviti aɖe me;
USolomoni wasesithi, “UThixo usetshilo ukuthi uzahlala eyezini elimnyama,
2 metu gbedoxɔ gã nyui aɖe na wò, afi si nànɔ tegbee.”
sengikwakhele ithempeli elimangalisayo, indawo yakho ozahlala kuyo kuze kube nininini.”
3 Tete Fia Solomo trɔ ɖe Israel ƒe ameha la gbɔ, ameawo tsi tsitre be yewoaxɔ eƒe yayra eye wòyra wo hegblɔ na wo bena,
Ibandla lonke lako-Israyeli lisemi khonapho, inkosi yaphenduka yababusisa.
4 “Woakafu Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu, si tsɔ eƒe nu gblɔ nya na fofonye David eye wòwɔ ŋugbe si wòdo nɛ la dzi azɔ. Mawu gblɔ na David bena,
Yasisithi: “Kadunyiswe uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, yena osegcwalise ngezandla zakhe ayekuthembise ubaba uDavida ngomlomo wakhe. Ngoba wathi,
5 ‘Tso gbe si gbe mekplɔ nye amewo tso Egipte la, nyemetia du aɖeke le Israel ƒe toawo dometɔ aɖeke me be, woatu gbedoxɔ ne nye ŋkɔ nanɔ afi ma o eye nyemetia ame aɖeke be wòanye kplɔla na nye dukɔ, Israel o.
‘Kusukela ngelanga engakhupha ngalo abantu bami eGibhithe, akuladolobho engalikhethayo laloba kusiphi isizwana sako-Israyeli, ukuba iBizo lami lakhelwe ithempeli khona, njalo angikhethanga loba ngubani ukuba abe ngumkhokheli wabantu bami bako-Israyeli.
6 Ke azɔ la, metia Yerusalem, be nye ŋkɔ nanɔ afi ma eye azɔ la metia David be wòanɔ nye dukɔ, Israel nu.’”
Kodwa khathesi sengikhethe iJerusalema ukuba iBizo lami libe khonale, njalo sengikhethe uDavida ukuba abuse abantu bami bako-Israyeli.’
7 “Ame siae nye fofonye, Fia David. Edi be yeatu gbedoxɔ aɖe na Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu ƒe ŋkɔ.
Ubaba uDavida wayetshiseka enhliziyweni yakhe ukuba akhele iBizo likaThixo ithempeli, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli.
8 Ke Yehowa gblɔ na fofonye, David be, ‘Esi nèɖoe ɖe wò dzi me be yeatu gbedoxɔ na nye ŋkɔ la, èwɔe nyuie be nèɖoe ɖe wò dzi me.
Kodwa uThixo wathi kubaba uDavida, ‘Wenza kuhle ngokuba lesifiso sokungakhela ithempeli leBizo lami enhliziyweni yakho.
9 Ke menye wòe nye ame si atu gbedoxɔ la o, ke viwò, ame si nye wò ŋutɔ wò ŋutilã kple ʋu; eyae nye ame si atu gbedoxɔ la na nye ŋkɔ.’
Lanxa kunjalo, kayisuwe ozakwakha ithempeli, kodwa indodana yakho eyinyama yakho legazi lakho, yiyo ezakwakhela iBizo lami ithempeli.’
10 “Azɔ la, Yehowa wɔ nu si ŋugbe wòdo elabena mezu fia ɖe fofonye teƒe eye metu gbedoxɔ la na Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la ƒe ŋkɔ.
UThixo usigcinile isithembiso asenzayo. Sengiyinkosi esikhundleni sikababa uDavida njalo khathesi sengihlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi sika-Israyeli njengokuthembisa kukaThixo, njalo sengakhele iBizo likaThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli ithempeli.
11 Metsɔ nubablaɖaka la da ɖe eme eye Nubabla si le Yehowa kple eƒe amewo, Israelviwo dome la, le nubablaɖaka la me.”
Kulapho engibeke khona ibhokisi, phakathi kwalo kulesivumelwano sikaThixo asenza labantu bako-Israyeli.”
12 Tete Solomo tsi tsitre ɖe Yehowa ƒe vɔsamlekpui la ŋgɔ le Israel ƒe ameha blibo la ŋkume eye wòke eƒe abɔwo me do ɖe dziƒo.
USolomoni wasesima phambi kwe-alithari likaThixo phambi kwalo lonke ibandla lako-Israyeli welula izandla zakhe.
13 Azɔ la ewɔ teƒe kɔkɔ aɖe kple akɔbli; edidi mita eve kple afã, keke mita eve kple afã eye wòkɔ mita ɖeka kple afã. Etsɔe da ɖe xɔxɔnu egodotɔ titina. Etsi tsitre ɖe kɔkɔƒe la dzi, dze klo le Israel ƒe ameha blibo la ŋkume eye wòke eƒe abɔwo me do ɖe dziƒo.
Wayenze isitubhu sethusi, ubude baso buzingalo ezinhlanu, lobubanzi baso buzingalo ezinhlanu njalo buzingalo ezintathu ukuyaphezulu, sona wayesimise phakathi laphakathi kweguma elingaphandle. Wema phezu kwesitubhu waseguqa phambi kwalo lonke ibandla lako-Israyeli waphakamisela izandla zakhe ezulwini.
14 Edo gbe ɖa bena, “Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu, Mawu aɖeke meɖi wò, le dziƒo afi ma alo anyigba dzi afi sia o, wò ame si léa wò lɔlɔ̃ ƒe nubabla me ɖe asi kple wò subɔla siwo zɔna ɖe wò mɔwo nu kple dzi blibo.
Wasesithi: “Oh Thixo Nkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, kakho uNkulunkulu ofanana lawe ezulwini lasemhlabeni, wena ogcina isivumelwano sakho sothando lezinceku zakho eziqhubeka endleleni yakho ngezinhliziyo ezipheleleyo.
15 Egbe la, èwɔ ŋugbe si nèdo na fofonye, David ame si nye wò subɔla la, dzi. Ètsɔ wò nu do ŋugbee eye nètsɔ wò asi wɔ edzi abe ale si wòle egbe ene.
Usigcinile isithembiso sakho encekwini yakho uDavida ongubaba; ngomlomo wakho uthembisile njalo ngesandla sakho ukugcwalisile lokho njengoba kunjalo lamuhla.
16 “Azɔ la, Oo Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu, wɔ ŋugbe bubu si nèdo nɛ be, ‘Wò dzidzimeviwo aɖu fia ɖe Israel dzi tegbetegbe ne woawɔ nye sewo dzi abe ale si nèwɔ ene,’ la dzi.
Ngakho Thixo, Nkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, gcinela inceku yakho uDavida ubaba isithembiso owasenza kuye usithi, ‘Kawuyikuswela umuntu ozakuma phambi kwami esihlalweni sobukhosi buka-Israyeli, nxa amadodana akho ezahamba ngokomthetho wami phambi kwami, njengalokhu okwenzileyo wena.’
17 Ke azɔ la, Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu, wɔ ŋugbedodo si nèwɔ na wò dɔla David la hã dzi.
Ngakho khathesi, Thixo, Nkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, kaligcwaliseke ilizwi lesithembiso owalikhuluma kuDavida inceku yakho.
18 “Ke, ɖe Mawu anya nɔ anyigba dzi kple amewoa? Kpɔ ɖa, dziƒo kple dziƒowo ƒe dziƒo gɔ̃ hã melolo na wò o, ekema nu kae nye gbedoxɔ sia si metu?
Kambe uNkulunkulu uzahlala labantu emhlabeni na? Amazulu, kanye lamazulu aphezulu kakhulu, kawakulingani. Pho lisilela kanganani lelithempeli engilakhileyo!
19 Ke, ɖo to wò dɔla ƒe gbedodoɖa kple eƒe kokoƒoƒo na nublanuikpɔkpɔ, O Yehowa, nye Mawu. Se wò dɔla ƒe ɣlidodo kple gbe si wòle dodom ɖa na wò.
Kodwa-ke akuzwe umkhuleko wenceku yakho lokucela kwayo umusa, Oh Thixo Nkulunkulu wami. Zwana ukukhala lokukhuleka kwenceku yakho phambi kwakho.
20 Na wò ŋkuwo nanɔ gbedoxɔ sia ŋu zã kple keli, teƒe si ŋu nègblɔ le be wò ŋkɔ anɔ afi ma ale be nàse wò subɔla ƒe gbe si wòado ɖa ɖo ɖe teƒe sia.
