Kronika 2 7
1 Esi Solomo wu gbedodoɖa nu la, dzo ge tso dziƒo, fia numevɔsa kple vɔsa la eye Yehowa ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe yɔ gbedoxɔ la me.
Kwathi uSolomoni eseqedile ukukhuleka, kwehla umlilo uvela ezulwini, waqhunqisa umnikelo wokutshiswa lemihlatshelo, inkazimulo kaThixo yagcwalisa ithempeli.
2 Nunɔlaawo mete ŋu ge ɖe Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la me o elabena Yehowa ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe yɔe fũu.
Abaphristi behluleka ukungena ethempelini likaThixo ngoba laligcwele inkazimulo kaThixo.
3 Israel blibo la kpɔ nu sia teƒe eye wotsyɔ mo anyi, kafu Yehowa eye woda akpe nɛ hedo ɣli bena, “Eƒe dɔme nyo eye eƒe amenuveve li tegbee!”
Kwathi lapho bonke abako-Israyeli bebona umlilo usehla lenkazimulo kaThixo ethempelini, bathi mbo ngobuso phansi embundwini weguma, badumisa bebonga uThixo besithi: “Yena ulungile; uthando lwakhe lumi kuze kube nininini.”
4 Fia la kple ameawo katã sa vɔwo le Yehowa ŋkume
Inkosi labantu bonke banikela imihlatshelo kuThixo.
5 eye Fia Solomo sa vɔ kple nyi akpe blaeve-vɔ-eve kple ale kple gbɔ̃ akpe alafa ɖeka blaeve. Ale fia la kple ameawo katã kɔ Mawu ƒe gbedoxɔ la ŋu.
Ngalokho inkosi uSolomoni yanikela umhlatshelo wenkomo ezizinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili lambili kanye lezimvu lembuzi ezizinkulungwane ezilikhulu elilamatshumi amabili. Ngakho inkosi labantu bonke banikela ithempeli likaNkulunkulu.
6 Nunɔlawo nɔ tsitre ɖe woƒe dɔwɔƒewo le esime Levitɔwo nɔ woƒe akpedahawo dzim be, “Eƒe amenuveve li tegbee” kpe ɖe haƒonu siwo Fia David ŋutɔ wɔ eye wòna wowɔa wo ŋu dɔ hena Yehowa kafukafu ŋuti. Esi nunɔlaawo ku kpẽawo la, Israel ƒe ameha blibo la tsi tsitre.
Abaphristi bema ngezindawo zabo, njengoba labaLevi labo bema ngamachacho lawo inkosi uDavida eyayivele iwenzele ukudumisa uThixo njalo ayevele esetshenziswa nxa ebonga, esithi, “Uthando lwakhe lumi kuze kube nininini.” Maqondana labaLevi, abaphristi babevuthela amacilongo abo, njalo bonke abako-Israyeli babemi.
7 Solomo kɔ xɔxɔnu emetɔ si le Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ ŋgɔ la ŋuti eye le afi ma wòsa numevɔ, nuɖuvɔ kple akpedavɔ ƒe amiwo le elabena akɔblivɔsamlekpui si wòwɔ la le sue akpa na numevɔ, nuɖuvɔ kple amiawo.
USolomoni wahlukanisela uThixo indawo yaphakathi laphakathi kweguma phambi kwethempeli likaThixo, njalo kulapho anikelela khona iminikelo yokutshiswa lamafutha eminikelo yobudlelwano, ngoba i-alithari lethusi ayelenzile lalingeke lenele iminikelo yokutshiswa, iminikelo yamabele kanye lamafutha.
8 Azɔ la, Solomo ɖu ŋkekenyui le ɣe ma ɣi me eye Israel katã ɖui kplii. Ameha gã aɖe ŋutɔe wònye, ameawo tso Lebo Hamat va se ɖe Egipte tɔʋu la gbɔ ke.
Ngakho ngalesosikhathi uSolomoni wathakazelela umkhosi okwensuku eziyisikhombisa, labo bonke abako-Israyeli ababelaye, ababelibandla elikhulu, abanye bevela eLebho Hamathi kusiya eSihotsheni saseGibhithe.
9 Wode ŋkekenyui sia ƒe akpedasɔleme mamlɛtɔ le ŋkeke enyia gbe.
Ngosuku lwesificaminwembili benza umhlangano, ngoba babekhonze ngokunikela i-alithari okwensuku eziyisikhombisa lomkhosi wezinye insuku eziyisikhombisa phezulu.
10 Fia Solomo ɖo ameawo ɖe aƒe le ɣleti adrelia ƒe ŋkeke blaeve-vɔ-etɔ̃lia gbe. Ameawo kpɔ dzidzɔ ŋutɔ le ale si Yehowa ve David kple Solomo kpakple eƒe dukɔ, Israel nu la ta.
Ngosuku lwamatshumi amabili lantathu lwenyanga yesikhombisa wakhulula abantu ukuthi babuyele emakhaya abo bethokoza njalo bejabula ngenhliziyo ngenxa yezinto ezinhle uThixo ayezenzele uDavida loSolomoni kanye labantu bakhe bako-Israyeli.
11 Esi Solomo wu Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ kple fiasã la tutu kple nu siwo katã wòɖo ɖe ta me be yeawɔ ɖe Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la me kple eya ŋutɔ ƒe fiasã me nu la,
Kwathi uSolomoni eseqedile ithempeli likaThixo lesigodlo, esenelisile lokwenza konke ayekunakana ngethempeli likaThixo kanye lesigodlo sakhe,
12 Yehowa ɖe eɖokui fiae le zã me eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “Mese wò gbedodoɖa eye metia teƒe sia na ɖokuinye be wòanye gbedoxɔ na vɔsawo.
UThixo wabonakala kuye ebusuku wathi: “Ngiwuzwile umkhuleko wakho njalo sengizikhethele indawo le ukuba ibe lithempeli lemihlatshelo.
13 “Ne metu dziƒowo nu ale be tsi megale dzadzam o alo meɖe gbe na ʋetsuviwo be woaɖu nu siwo le anyigba dzi alo medɔ dɔvɔ̃ ɖe dukɔ la dome la,
Nxa ngivala iphezulu ukuze kungabi lezulu, loba ngithumela intethe ukuchitha ilizwe, ingabe ngithumela isifo phakathi kwabantu bami,
14 ekema ne nye dukɔ, ame siwo ŋuti woyɔ nye ŋkɔ ɖo abɔbɔ wo ɖokui, ado gbe ɖa, adi nye ŋkume eye woaɖe asi le woƒe mɔ vɔ̃wo ŋu la, mase woƒe gbedodoɖa le dziƒo, matsɔ woƒe nu vɔ̃wo ake wo eye mayɔ dɔ woƒe anyigba.
nxa abantu bami, ababizwa ngebizo lami, bezazithoba bakhuleke badinge ubuso bami njalo batshiye izindlela zabo ezimbi, kulapho ngizakuzwa khona ngisezulwini ngithethelele izono zabo njalo ngiphephise ilizwe labo.
15 Azɔ la, nye ŋkuwo anɔ ʋuʋu eye nye towo anɔ te ɖe gbe ɖe sia ɖe si woado ɖa le teƒe sia ŋuti.
Ngalokho amehlo ami azavuleka, lezindlebe zami zizalalela imikhuleko eyenziwa kulindawo.
16 Metia eye mekɔ gbedoxɔ sia ŋuti ale be nye ŋkɔ anɔ afi ma tegbetegbee. Nye ŋkuwo kple nye dzi anɔ afi ma ɣe sia ɣi.
Ngilikhethile ngizahlukanisela lelithempeli ukuze iBizo lami libe kulo kuze kube nininini. Amehlo ami lenhliziyo yami kuzakuba kulo ngazozonke izikhathi.
17 “Ke wò la, ne àzɔ le ŋkunye me, aɖi anukware abe fofowò, David ene eye nàwɔ nye seawo dzi, alé nye ɖoɖowo kple kɔnuwo me ɖe asi la,
Wena, nxa ungahamba phambi kwami njengalokhu okwenziwa nguyihlo uDavida, wenze konke engikulaya ngakho, ulandele izimiso lemithetho yami,
18 ekema makpɔ egbɔ be, wò fiaɖuƒe nali ke abe ale si medo ŋugbe na fofowò David ene hegblɔ nɛ be, ‘Wò ame siwo aɖu fia ɖe Israel dzi la matso o.’
ngizaqinisa isihlalo sakho sobukhosi, njengesivumelwano engasenza loyihlo uDavida ngisithi: ‘Kawuyikuswela umuntu ozabusa u-Israyeli.’
19 “Ke ne mènɔ yonyeme o, ne ègbe se siwo mena mi dzi la wɔwɔ eye miesubɔ mawu bubuwo hede ta agu na wo la,
Kodwa ungafulathela utshiye izimiso lemilayo engikunika yona usuke uyekhothamela abanye onkulunkulu ubakhonze,
20 mate nye amewo le nye anyigba si metsɔ na wo la dzi eye maɖe gbedoxɔ sia togbɔ be mekɔ eŋuti na ɖokuinye hã. Mana wòazu hamelo kple alɔmeɖenu le dukɔwo katã dome.
kulapho ngizakhucula abako-Israyeli elizweni lami, engabanika lona, kuthi lelithempeli engilahlukanisele iBizo lami ngilichithe, ngilenze libe yinto ekhohlakeleyo into eyinhlekisa kubo bonke abantu.
21 Gbedoxɔ sia azu xɔ gbagbã si ƒe xɔtunuwo woali kɔe ɖi eye ame sia ame si ava tso eme yina la ƒe nu aku, eye wòabia be, ‘Nu ka ta Yehowa wɔ nu siawo ɖe anyigba sia kple gbedoxɔ sia ŋu?’
Loba lelithempeli likhanga amehlo, bonke abedlula lapha bazamangala bathi, ‘Kanti kungani uThixo ekwenzile lokhu okunje kulelilizwe kanye lakulelithempeli?’
22 Woaɖo eŋu be, ‘Elabena ameawo ɖe asi le Yehowa, wo fofowo ƒe Mawu, ame si kplɔ wo do goe le Egiptenyigba dzi la ŋu eye wosubɔ mawu bubuwo eya tae wòhe dzɔgbevɔ̃e sia va wo dzi ɖo!’”
Abantu bazaphendula bathi, ‘Ngoba bamfulathele uThixo, uNkulunkulu wabokhokho babo, owabakhupha eGibhithe, basuka bayabambelela kwabanye onkulunkulu, bebakhonza njalo bebakhothamela, yikho ebehlisele incithakalo yonke le.’”
