I Oihanaalii 22
1 A LAILA olelo mai la o Davida, Eia ka hale o Iehova ke Akua; eia hoi ke kuahu o ka mohaikuni no ka Iseraela.
UDavida wasesithi, “Indlu kaThixo uNkulunkulu izakuba khonapha, kanye le-alithari lomnikelo wokutshiswa ka-Israyeli.”
2 Kauoha mai la o Davida, e houluulu mai i na kanaka e noho ana i ka aina o ka Iseraela: a hoonoho iho la ia i na kalaipohaku e kalai i na pohaku i mea e hana'i i ka hale o ke Akua.
Ngakho uDavida wakhupha ilizwi lokuthi bonke abezizweni abahlala ko-Israyeli babuthaniswe, kwathi phakathi kwabo wakhetha ababazi bamatshe ukuze balungise babaze amatshe okwakha indlu kaNkulunkulu.
3 Hoomakaukau iho la o Davida i ka hao he nui loa no na kui o na pani puka o ka pa, a no na louhao: a me ke keleawe he nui loa aole i kaupaonaia.
Wabuthanisa insimbi enengi kakhulu yokwenza izipikili zezivalo lezinsimbi zokuhlanganisa, wabuthanisa lethusi elinengi elingelakulinganiswa.
4 A me na laau kedera he nui loa: no ka mea, na ko Zidona a me ko Turo i lawe mai i ka laau kedera he nui ia Davida.
Wadinga lezigodo zomsedari ezinengi ezingelakubalwa, ngoba amaSidoni labaseThire baletha inani lazo elikhulu kakhulu kuDavida.
5 I mai la o Davida, He opiopio kuu keiki o Solomona, a he palupalu hoi; a o ka hale e hanaia ana no Iehova, he mea nani nui loa ia, he mea kaulana ma na aina a pau no kona maikai: e hoomakaukau no wau i na mea nona. Nolaila, i hoomakaukau nui loa o Davida mamua o kona make ana.
UDavida wasesithi, “Indodana yami uSolomoni isengumntwana njalo ayikabi lolwazi, ngoba phela indlu ezakwakhelwa uThixo kumele ibe yindlu ebukekayo kakhulu ibe lodumo lesithunzi emehlweni ezizwe zonke. Ngakho ngizalungiselela ukwakhiwa kwayo.” Yikho uDavida walungiselela ngokujulileyo esaphila.
6 Alaila, hea aku la ia i kana keiki ia Solomona, a kauoha aku la ia ia e hana i hale no Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela.
Wasebiza uSolomoni indodana yakhe, wamlaya ukuthi akhele uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli indlu.
7 Olelo aku la o Davida ia Solomona, E kuu keiki e, owau nei la, aia no iloko o kuu naau ka manao e hana i hale no ka inoa o Iehova kuu Akua:
UDavida wathi kuSolomoni: “Ndodana yami, ngangizimisele ukwakhela iBizo likaThixo, uNkulunkulu wami indlu.
8 Aka, hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova io'u nei, i mai la, Ua hookahe oe i ke koko a nui loa, a ua kaua hoi oe i na kaua nui: mai hana oe i hale no kuu inoa, no ka mea, he nui loa ke koko au i hookahe ai ma ka honua imua o ko'u mau maka.
Kodwa ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi lisithi: ‘Wena uchithe igazi elinengi, walwa izimpi ezinengi. Kawuyikwakhela iBizo lami indlu, ngoba uchithe igazi elinengi kakhulu emhlabeni.
9 Aia hoi, e hanau ke keikikane nau, he kanaka hoomaha no ia; a e hoomaha auanei au ia ia mai kona poe enemi a pau e noho ana a puni: no ka mea, o Solomona kona inoa, a e haawi auanei au i ka maluhia a me ka maha no ka Iseraela i kona mau la.
Kodwa, uzazala indodana ezakuba ngumuntu othanda ukuthula; ngizayiphumuza ezitheni zayo inxa zonke. Izathiwa nguSolomoni, njalo ngizanika u-Israyeli ukuthula ensukwini zokubusa kwakhe.
10 Nana no e hana ka hale no ko'u inoa, a e lilo auanei ia i keiki na'u, a owau auanei kona makua, a e hookupaa no wau i ka nohoalii o kona aupuni maluna o ka Iseraela, a mau loa aku.
Nguye ozakwakhela iBizo lami indlu. Uzakuba yindodana yami, mina ngizakuba nguyise. Njalo ngizaqinisa ubukhosi bakhe ko-Israyeli kuze kube nininini.’
11 Ano hoi, e kuu keiki, me oe pu o Iehova: a e pomaikai auanei oe; a e hana oe i ka hale o Iehova o kou Akua, e like me kana i olelo mai ai nou.
Ndodana yami, uThixo kabe lawe ukuze uphumelele ukwakha indlu kaThixo uNkulunkulu wakho, njengokutsho kwakhe ngawe.
12 E haawi io mai o Iehova nou i ke akamai a me ka naauao, a e kauoha mai ia oe no ka Iseraela, i malama aku ai oe i ke kanawai o Iehova o kou Akua.
Sengathi uThixo angakunika ukuhlakanipha lokuqedisisa, ukuze kuthi lapho ekunika amandla ko-Israyeli, uwulondoloze umlayo kaThixo uNkulunkulu wakho.
13 Alaila oe e pomaikai, ina oe e hoomanao e hooko i na kanawai a me na kauoha a Iehova i haawi mai ai ia Mose no ka Iseraela: e hooikaika oe, a e koa hoi; mai makau oe, aole hoi e pauaho.
Uzaphumelela nxa unanzelela ukugcina izimiso lemithetho uThixo ayinika u-Israyeli ngoMosi. Qina, ube lesibindi. Ungesabi utshaywe luvalo.
14 Ano hoi, i kuu ilihune ana, ua hoomakaukau iho no wau no ka hale o Iehova, i hookahi haneri tausani talena gula, a me ka tausani tausani talena kala: a o ke keleawe a me ka hao, aole i kaupaonaia; no ka mea, he nui loa: ua hoomakaukau hoi au i ka laau a me na pohaku, a nau no e hoomahuahua ae ilaila.
Ngayo yonke imizamo yami ngilungisele indlu kaThixo amathalenta egolide azinkulungwane ezilikhulu, lamathalenta esiliva ayisigidi, lethusi kanye lensimbi okulesisindo esingelakubalwa, lezigodo kanye lamatshe. Lawe ungengezelela kulokho.
15 He nui no hoi na paahana ia oe, na mea kalai a me na mea kapili pohaku a me ka laau, a me na kanaka akamai he nui i ka hana i na hana a pau.
Ulezisebenzi ezinengi, ababazi bamatshe, labakha ngamatshe, lababazi, lezingcitshi zemisebenzi yonke,
16 O ke gula a me ke kala, o ke keleawe a me ka hao, aole i heluia. E ku ae oe, a e hana aku, a me oe pu no o Iehova.
eyegolide, isiliva, ithusi kanye lensimbi, izingcitshi ezingelakubalwa. Qalisa-ke umsebenzi, uThixo abe lawe.”
17 Kauoha mai la hoi o Davida i na alii a pau o ka Iseraela, e kokua ia Solomona kana keiki:
UDavida waselaya bonke abakhokheli bako-Israyeli ukuba basize uSolomoni indodana yakhe.
18 Aole anei o Iehova o ko oukou Akua me oukou? Aole anei i hoomaha mai oia ia oukou ma kela aoao a ma keia aoao? No ka mea, ua haawi mai la ia i na kanaka o ka aina iloko o ko'u lima; a ua hoopioia ka aina imua o Iehova a imua o kona poe kanaka.
Wathi kubo, “uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu kakho kini na? Kalinikanga ukuthula inxa zonke na? Ngoba unikele abantu belizwe esandleni sami, lelizwe libuswa nguThixo labantu bakhe.
19 Ano e hoopapau oukou i ko oukou naau a me ko oukou uhane e imi aku ia Iehova i ko oukou Akua: e ku ae hoi oukou, a e hana i ka luakini o Iehova ke Akua: i laweia'ku ai ka pahuberita o Iehova, a me na ipu laa no ke Akua, iloko o ka hale e hanaia'na no ka inoa o Iehova.
Ngakho nikelani inhliziyo zenu ekufuneni uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu. Qalisani ukwakha indlu kaThixo uNkulunkulu, ukuze ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaThixo lezitsha zikaThixo ezingcwele kungeniswe ethempelini elizakwakhelwa iBizo likaThixo.”
