USolomoni wasehlangana ngomtshado loFaro inkosi yeGibhithe, wathatha indodakazi kaFaro, wayiletha emzini kaDavida waze waqeda ukwakha indlu yakhe lendlu yeNkosi lomduli weJerusalema ozingelezeleyo.
2 Mohai aku la nae na kanaka ma na wahi kiekie, no ka mea, aole i kukuluia ka hale no ka inoa o Iehova a hiki ia mau la.
Kube kanti abantu babenikela umhlatshelo endaweni eziphakemeyo, ngoba kwakungakhelwanga ibizo leNkosi indlu kwaze kwaba yilezonsuku.
3 Ua aloha aku no hoi o Solomona ia Iehova, e hele ana ma na kauoha a Davida kona makuakane, mohai aku la nae oia a kuni aku la hoi i ka mea ala ma na wahi kiekie.
USolomoni wayithanda-ke iNkosi, ehamba ezimisweni zikaDavida uyise; kube kanti wanikela umhlatshelo watshisa impepha endaweni eziphakemeyo.
4 Hele aku la ke alii i Gibeona e kaumaha aku malaila, no ka mea, he wahi kiekie nui no hoi ia; hookahi tausani mohaikuni ka Solomona i mohai ai ma kela kuahu.
Inkosi yasisiya eGibeyoni ukuhlaba khona, ngoba leyo yayiyindawo ephakemeyo enkulu. Iminikelo yokutshiswa eyinkulungwane uSolomoni wayinikela phezu kwalelolathi.
5 A ma Gibeona i ikeia'ku ai o Iehova e Solomona, ma ka moe uhane i ka po, a olelo mai la ke Akua, E noi mai oe i ka'u mea e haawi aku ai ia oe.
EGibeyoni iNkosi yabonakala kuSolomoni ephutsheni ebusuku. UNkulunkulu wathi: Cela engingakunika khona.
6 I aku la o Solomona, Nui mai la kou lokomaikai i kau kauwa ia Davida ko'u makuakane, e like me kona hele ana imua ou ma ka oiaio, a me ka pololei, a me ke kupono o ka naau ia oe; a ua malama hoi oe i keia lokomaikai nui nona, i kou haawi ana mai i keiki nana e noho maluna o kona nohoalii, me neia i keia la.
USolomoni wasesithi: Wena wenzele inceku yakho uDavida ubaba umusa omkhulu, njengokuhamba kwakhe phambi kwakho eqinisweni lekulungeni lebuqothweni benhliziyo kuwe; wamgcinela lo umusa omkhulu ukuthi wamnika indodana ehlezi esihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi njengalamuhla.
7 Ano hoi e Iehova ko'u Akua, ua hoolilo mai oe i kau kauwa nei i alii ma kahi o Davida ko'u makuakane: he keiki uuku wale no au: aole ike au i ka hele aku, aole hoi i ka hoi mai.
Ngakho-ke, Nkosi Nkulunkulu wami, wena wenzile inceku yakho yaba yinkosi esikhundleni sikaDavida ubaba; ngingumntwanyana nje, angikwazi ukuphuma lokungena.
8 A iwaeua konu kau kauwa nei o kou poe kanaka, au i koho mai ai, he lahuikanaka nui aole hiki ke helu, aole e pau i ka heluia no ka lehulehu loa.
Lenceku yakho iphakathi kwabantu bakho obakhethileyo, abantu abanengi, abangelakubalwa labangelakunaniswa ngobunengi.
9 Nolaila, e haawi mai oe i naauao i kau kauwa nei e hoomalu i kou poe kanaka, i hiki ia'u ke hookaawale mawaena o ka pono a me ka hewa; no ka mea, owai la ka mea e hiki ia ia ke hooponopono i kou lahuikanaka he nui loa me neia.
Ngakho nika inceku yakho inhliziyo eqedisisayo ukwahlulela abantu bakho, ukuze ngehlukanise phakathi kokuhle lokubi; ngoba ngubani olamandla ukwahlulela lesisizwe sakho esikhulu?
10 Pono iho la ka olelo imua o ka Haku, o ko Solomona noi ana i keia mea.
Laloludaba lwaba luhle emehlweni eNkosi ukuthi uSolomoni ucele lolulutho.
11 Olelo mai la ke Akua ia ia, No kou noi ana mai i keia mea, aole i noi mai i na la he nui nou, aole hoi i noi mai i waiwai nui nou, aole hoi i noi mai e make kou poe enemi; aka, ua noi mai oe i naauao nou i ike i ka hooponopono;
UNkulunkulu wasesithi kuye: Ngenxa yokuthi ucele lolulutho, ungazicelelanga insuku ezinengi, ungazicelelanga inotho, ungacelanga umphefumulo wezitha zakho, kodwa uzicelele ukuqedisisa ukuzwa ukwahlulela,
12 Eia hoi, ua hana no au e like me kau olelo; eia no hoi, ua haawi aku au i ka naau akamai a me ka ike nou, i ole mea i like ai me oe mamua ou, aole hoi mahope aku ou e ku mai ai kekahi e like me oe.

13 A ua haawi hou aku au ia oe i ka mea au i noi ole mai ai, i ka waiwai nui, a me ka hanohano, i ole mea like me oe iwaeua o na lii i kou mau la a pau.
Futhi longakucelanga ngikunikile, ngitsho inotho lodumo, ukuze kungabi khona umuntu onjengawe emakhosini zonke izinsuku zakho.
14 A ina e hele oe ma ko'u mau aoao, a e malama mai i ko'u mau kanawai, a me ka'u mau kauoha, e like me ka hele ana o Davida kou makuakane, alaila e hooloihi aku au i kou mau la.
Njalo uba uzahamba endleleni zami, ukugcina izimiso zami lemilayo yami njengoDavida uyihlo wahamba, ngizakwelula insuku zakho.
15 Ala ae la o Solomona, aia hoi, he moe uhane. A hele mai la ia i Ierusalema, a ku iho la imua o ka pahuberita o ka Haku, a kaumaha aku la i na mohaikuni, a kaumaha aku la i na mohaihoomalu, a hana hoi ia i ka ahaaina na kana mau kauwa a pau.
USolomoni wasephaphama; khangela-ke kwakuliphupho. Wasesiza eJerusalema, wema phambi komtshokotsho wesivumelwano seNkosi, wanikela iminikelo yokutshiswa, wanikela iminikelo yokuthula, wenzela inceku zakhe zonke idili.
16 Alaila hele mai la na wahine moe kolohe elua i ke alii, a ku mai la laua imua ona.
Ngalesosikhathi kwafika abesifazana ababili, amawule, enkosini, bema phambi kwayo.
17 A olelo aku la kekahi wahine, E kuu haku, e noho ana maua me keia wahine ma ka hale hookahi, a hanau keiki au me ia iloko o ka hale.
Omunye owesifazana wasesithi: Hawu nkosi yami, mina lalumfazi sihlala ndlunye; ngasengibeletha ngilaye endlini.
18 Eia kekahi, i ke kolu o ka la mahope mai o ko'u hanau ana, hanau mai la keia wahine kekahi; aohe mea e me maua iloko o ka hale, o maua wale no ka iloko o ka hale.
Kwasekusithi ngosuku lwesithathu ngibelethile, laye lumfazi wabeletha; njalo sasindawonye, kungekho owemzini kanye lathi endlini, ngaphandle kwethu sobabili endlini.
19 Make iho la ke keiki a keia wahine i ka po, no ka mea, ua moe ae oia nei maluna ona.
Umntwana walumfazi wasesifa ebusuku, ngoba walala phezu kwakhe.
20 A ala ae la ia i ka waena o ka po, a lawe aku la i ka'u keiki mai kuu aoao aku, i ka wa i hiamoe ai kau kauwawahine, a hoomoe iho ia ia ma kona poli, a hoomoe mai la hoi i kana keiki make ma ko'u poli.
Wasevuka phakathi kobusuku, wathatha indodana yami eceleni kwami, incekukazi yakho isalele, wayilalisa esifubeni sakhe, lomntanakhe ofileyo wamlalisa esifubeni sami.
21 A i kuu ala ana i kakahiaka e hanai i kuu keiki i ka waiu, aia hoi, ua make; aka, i ko'u nana ana ia ia i ke ao, aia hoi, aole ia o ka'u keiki a'u i hanau ai.
Lapho ngivuka ekuseni ukumunyisa umntanami, khangela-ke wayesefile; sengimkhangelisisa ekuseni, khangela-ke, kwakungeyisuye umntanami engamzalayo.
22 A olelo ae la kekahi wahine, Aole, aka, na'u no ke keiki ola, a nau ke keiki make; a olelo ae keia, Aole, aka, nau ke keiki make, a na'u no hoi ke keiki ola. Pela no i olelo ai ua mau wahine la imua o ke alii.
Kodwa lowo omunye owesifazana wathi: Hatshi, kodwa indodana yami ngephilayo, lendodana yakho ngefileyo. Lalowo wathi: Hatshi, kodwa indodana yakho ngefileyo, lendodana yami ngephilayo. Batsho njalo phambi kwenkosi.
23 I mai la ke alii, ke i mai nei kekahi, Na'u keia keiki ka mea ola, a nau ke keiki make; a ke i mai nei keia, Aole, aka, nau ke keiki make, a na'u no ke keiki ola.
Inkosi yasisithi: Lo uthi: Le yindodana yami ephilayo, lendodana yakho ngefileyo; lomunye uthi: Hatshi, kodwa indodana yakho ngefileyo, lendodana yami ngephilayo.
24 Olelo mai la hoi ke alii, E lawe mai i ka pahikaua ia'u. A lawe aku la lakou i ka pahikaua ma ke alo o ke alii.
Inkosi yasisithi: Ngithathelani inkemba. Basebeyiletha inkemba phambi kwenkosi.
25 Kauoha mai la ke alii, E mahele i ke keiki ola i elua, a e haawi i kekahi hapalua i kekahi, a i kekahi hapalua i kekahi.
Inkosi yasisithi: Dabulani kabili umntwana ophilayo, linike omunye ingxenye, lomunye ingxenye.
26 Alaila olelo aku ka wahine nana ke keiki ola i ke alii, no ka mea, ua hu ke aloha o kona naau i kana keiki, i aku la hoi ia, E kuu haku, e haawi i ke keiki ola ia ia nei, aole loa e pepehi ia ia. Aka, olelo mai kela, Aole ia ia'u, aole hoi ia oe, e mahele ae ia ia.
Owesifazana okwakungowakhe umntwana ophilayo wakhuluma enkosini, ngoba imibilini yakhe yavutha ngendodana yakhe, wathi: Hawu nkosi yami, mnikeni yena umntwana ophilayo, lingambulali loba kunjani. Kodwa omunye wathi: Kangabi ngowami kumbe ngowakho, dabulani.
27 Kauoha mai la ke alii, i mai la, E haawi aku i ke keiki ola ia ia la, aole loa e hoomake ia ia; oia kona makuwahine.
Inkosi yasiphendula yathi: Nikani yena umntwana ophilayo, lingambulali loba kunjani; nguye unina.
28 A lohe ae la ka Iseraela a pau i ka hooponopono ana a ke alii i hana'i, a weliweli lakou imua o ke alii; no ka mea, ua ike lakou, o ke akamai o ke Akua ka iloko ona e hooponopono ai.
UIsrayeli wonke wasesizwa isahlulelo inkosi eyayisahlulele, besaba phambi kwenkosi, ngoba babona ukuthi inhlakanipho kaNkulunkulu yayikuye ukwenza isahlulelo.
