2 Maũndũ 8
1 Thuutha wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ, ihinda rĩrĩa Solomoni aahũthĩrire gwaka hekarũ ya Jehova o na nyũmba yake ya ũthamaki-rĩ,
Ekupheleni kweminyaka engamatshumi amabili, leyo uSolomoni akha ngayo ithempeli likaThixo kanye lesigodlo sakhe,
2 Solomoni nĩaakire rĩngĩ matũũra marĩa aaheetwo nĩ Hiramu, na akĩmahe andũ a Isiraeli matũũre thĩinĩ wamo.
uSolomoni wabuye wavusa imizi uHiramu ayemnike yona, wahlalisa abako-Israyeli kuyo.
3 Solomoni agĩcooka agĩthiĩ Hamathu-Zoba na akĩrĩtaha.
USolomoni wayahlasela iHamathi-Zobha wayithumba.
4 Ningĩ agĩcooka agĩaka Tadimori kũu werũ-inĩ na matũũra manene mothe marĩa aakĩte kũu Hamathu ma kũigwo indo.
Wakha njalo leThamari enkangala layo yonke imizi yeziphala ayakha eHamathi.
5 Nĩaakire Bethi-Horoni ya Mwena wa Igũrũ, na Bethi-Horoni ya Mwena wa Mũhuro rĩngĩ, marĩ matũũra manene mairige, marĩ na thingo, na ihingo, na mĩgĩĩko ya igera,
Wavusa iBhethi-Horoni elingaphezu kanye leBhethi-Horoni elingaphansi, imizi ebiyelweyo elemithangala lamasongo alemigoqo,
6 o ũndũ ũmwe na Baalathu, na matũũra make mothe manene ma kũiga indo, na matũũra make mothe manene ma ngaari cia mbaara na mbarathi ciake, na agĩaka kĩrĩa gĩothe eerirĩirie kũu Jerusalemu, na Lebanoni, o na kũndũ guothe bũrũri-inĩ ũrĩa aathanaga.
kanye leBhalathi lamadolobho akhe wonke ayeyiziphala lemizi yezinqola zakhe zempi kanye lamabhiza akhe lakho konke nje ayengafisa ukukwakha eJerusalema leLebhanoni kanye lakulo lonke ilizwe ayelibusa.
7 Andũ othe arĩa maatigaire kuuma kũrĩ Ahiti, na Aamori, na Aperizi, na Ahivi, na Ajebusi (nao andũ acio matiarĩ Aisiraeli),
Abantu bonke ababesele kumaHithi, lama-Amori, lamaPherizi, lamaHivi kanye lamaJebusi (lababantu babengasiwo ama-Israyeli),
8 ũguo nĩ kuuga atĩ, njiaro ciao iria ciatigarĩte bũrũri-inĩ, iria andũ a Isiraeli mataaninĩte, acio nĩo maandĩkithirio nĩ Solomoni matuĩke ngombo ciake cia kũrutithio wĩra na hinya, na noguo gũtũire nginya ũmũthĩ.
kutshiwo labo inzalo yabo eyayisele elizweni, labo abangabhujiswanga ngama-Israyeli, uSolomoni wababutha baba yizigqili: njengoba kunjalo kuze kube lanamhla.
9 No Solomoni ndaatuire andũ a Isiraeli ngombo cia wĩra wake; acio nĩo maarĩ andũ ake a kũrũa mbaara, o na aathi a anene ake, na aathi a ngaari ciake cia ita, na atwari a ngaari icio.
Kodwa abako-Israyeli uSolomoni kabenzanga izigqili emsebenzini wakhe; babengamadoda akhe empi, abalawuli bezinduna zebutho, labalawuli bezinqola zokulwa labokulwa ngezinqola zokulwa.
10 O na ningĩ no-o maarĩ atongoria anene a Mũthamaki Solomoni, maarĩ anene 250 a kũrũgamĩrĩra andũ acio.
Njalo babeyizikhulu zenkosi uSolomoni, bengamakhulu amabili alamatshumi amahlanu ababephethe abantu.
11 Solomoni akĩruta mwarĩ wa Firaũni kuuma Itũũra Inene rĩa Daudi, akĩmũrehe nyũmba ya ũthamaki ĩrĩa aamwakĩire, tondũ oigire atĩrĩ, “Mũtumia wakwa ndangĩtũũra nyũmba ya Mũthamaki Daudi, mũthamaki wa Isiraeli, nĩgũkorwo kũndũ kũrĩa ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa Jehova rĩtoonyete nĩ gũtheru.”
USolomoni wasusa indodakazi kaFaro eMzini kaDavida wayisa esigodlweni asakhela yona, ngoba wathi, “Umkami kamelanga ahlale esigodlweni sikaDavida inkosi yako-Israyeli, ngoba izindawo esezike zangena ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaThixo zingcwele.”
12 Igũrũ rĩa kĩgongona kĩa Jehova kĩrĩa Solomoni aakĩte mbere ya gĩthaku, hau nĩho Solomoni arutĩire Jehova maruta ma njino,
USolomoni wasenikela kuThixo umnikelo wokutshiswa phezu kwe-alithari likaThixo ayelakhele phambi komkoto,
13 O ta ũrĩa maabataranĩtie kũrutwo o mũthenya nĩ ũndũ wa maruta marĩa Musa aathanĩte ma Thabatũ, na ma Tũrũgamo twa Mweri, na ma ciathĩ ithatũ cia o mwaka, nĩcio Gĩathĩ kĩa Mĩgate ĩtarĩ Mĩĩkĩre Ndawa ya Kũimbia, na Gĩathĩ gĩa Ciumia, na Gĩathĩ gĩa Ithũnũ.
kulandelwa umkhuba wemihla ngemihla njengokulaya kukaMosi eqakathekisa iSabatha, lokuThwasa kweNyanga kanye lokwemikhosi emithathu yomnyaka, uMkhosi weSinkwa esingelaMvubelo, uMkhosi wamaViki loMkhosi weziHonqo.
14 Kũrũmanĩrĩra na wathani ũrĩa watuĩtwo nĩ ithe Daudi, nĩamũrire ikundi cia athĩnjĩri-Ngai nĩ ũndũ wa mawĩra mao, o na Alawii nĩguo matongoragie hĩndĩ ya kũgooca na ningĩ mateithagĩrĩrie athĩnjĩri-Ngai kũringana na mabataro ma o mũthenya. Ningĩ nĩamũrire ikundi cia arangĩri a ihingo marangagĩre ihingo mwanya mwanya, tondũ ũguo nĩguo Daudi, mũndũ wa Ngai, aathanĩte.
Elandela isimiso sikayise uDavida wamisa izigaba zabaphristi ngezinkonzo zabo, njalo abaLevi bekhokhela ekudumiseni lokuphathisa abaphristi kusiya ngemfanelo yemihla ngemihla. Wakhetha abalindi bamasango ngezigaba ukulinda amasango ehlukeneyo ngoba yikho okwakutshiwo nguDavida umuntu kaNkulunkulu.
15 Nao matiatigire kũrũmĩrĩra watho ũrĩa mũthamaki aathĩte athĩnjĩri-Ngai kana Alawii ũndũ-inĩ o wothe hamwe na ũmenyereri wa igĩĩna.
Kabaphambukanga kulokho inkosi uDavida eyayikutshilo mayelana labaphristi labaLevi kanye lezindlu zenotho.
16 Wĩra wa Solomoni wothe nĩwahingirio kuuma mũthenya ũrĩa mũthingi wa hekarũ ya Jehova wakirwo nginya ĩkĩrĩka. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio hekarũ ya Jehova ĩkĩrĩkio gwakwo.
Wonke umsebenzi kaSolomoni wenziwa, kusukela ngosuku lokubekwa kwesisekelo sethempeli likaThixo kwaze kwaba sekupheleni kwawo. Kwaba yikuphela kokwakhiwa kwethempeli likaThixo.
17 Ningĩ Solomoni agĩthiĩ Ezioni-Geberi na Elathu hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia Edomu.
Ngakho uSolomoni wasesiya e-Eziyoni-Gebheri lase-Elathi ngasemakhunjini ase-Edomi.
18 Nake Hiramu akĩmũtũmĩra marikabu irũgamĩrĩirwo nĩ anene ake, andũ arĩa mooĩ ũhoro wa iria. Andũ acio, hamwe na andũ a Solomoni magĩtwarithia marikabu nginya Ofiri na magĩcooka makĩrehe taranda 450 cia thahabu, iria maatwarĩire Mũthamaki Solomoni.
UHiramu wathumela kuye imikhumbi eyayiphethwe yizinduna zakhe, amadoda ayelwazi ulwandle. Zona, kanye lezinceku zikaSolomoni zaya e-Ofiri, zayathwala igolide elingamathalenta angamakhulu amane lamatshumi amahlanu, zayalethula enkosini uSolomoni.
