3 Hoouna aku la o Solomona ia Hurama la ke alii o Turo, i aku la, E like me ka mea au i hana'i ia Davida i ko'u makuakane, i kou haawi ana ia ia i ka laau kedera i kukulu ia i hale nona e noho ai;
USolomoni wakhupha ilizwi elalisiya kuHiramu inkosi yaseThire lisithi: “Ngithumela izigodo zomsedari njengalokhu owakwenza kubaba uDavida owawumthumela umsedari ukuthi azakhele isigodlo ayezahlala kuso.
4 Aia hoi, e kukulu ana au i hale no ka inoa o Iehova ko'u Akua, e hoolaa ia mea nona, e kuni aku i ka mea ala imua ona, a no ka berena hoike, a me ka mohaikuni i kakahiaka a i ke ahiahi, a i na Sabati, a me na mahina hou, a no na ahaaina o Iehova, ko makou Akua. He mea mau keia i ka Iseraela.
Sengilungiselela ukwakha ithempeli leBizo likaThixo uNkulunkulu wami lokulinikela kuye ukutshisela impepha eloqhatshi olumnandi phambi kwakhe, lokunikela isinkwa esingcwele ngezikhathi zonke, lokunikela iminikelo yokutshiswa ekuseni lantambama langeSabatha langokuThwasa kweziNyanga kanye lasemikhosini emisiweyo kaThixo uNkulunkulu wethu. Lokhu ngokumiselwe u-Israyeli ngokungapheliyo.
5 A o ka hale a'u e kukulu nei he hale nui ia, no ka mea, ua nui e aku ko makou Akua mamua o na akua a pau.
Ithempeli engizalakha lizaqakatheka, ngoba uNkulunkulu wethu mkhulu kulabo bonke onkulunkulu.
6 Owai la hoi e hiki ke kukulu i hale nona? No ka mea, he uuku ia ia ka lani a me ka lani o na lani. Owai la hoi au i kukulu ai au i hale nona? a i mohai aku hoi i ka mohai imua ona?
Ngubani ozamakhela ithempeli, njengoba lamazulu, kanye lamazulu aphezulu engqongeni, angeke amanele. Pho ngingubani mina ukuba ngimakhele ithempeli, ngaphandle kwendawo yokutshisela imihlatshelo phambi kwakhe?
7 Ano hoi, e hoouna mai oe io'u nei i kanaka akamai i ka hana ma ke gula, a me ke kala, a me ke keleawe, a me ka hao, a me ka lole makue, a me ka lole ulaula, a me ka lole uliuli; he mea ike i ke kalai i ka mea nani me ka poe akamai e noho pu ana me au ma Iuda, a ma Ierusalema, ka poe a Davida ko'u makua i hoomakaukau ai.
Ngakho, ngithumela indoda eyingcitshi ekusebenzeni ngegolide langesiliva, ithusi lensimbi, langamalembu ayibubende labomvu laluhlaza, ekwaziyo ukubalaza, ukuthi izosebenzela koJuda laseJerusalema labami abazingcitshi emisebenzini yezandla, labo abalethwa ngubaba uDavida.
8 E haawi mai oe ia'u i na laau kedera, a me ka paina, a me ke aleguma noloko mai o Lebanona, no ka mea, ua ike au he poe akamai kau poe kauwa i ke kalai ana i na laau o Lebanona; aia hoi, o ka'u poe kauwa me kau,
Ngithumela izigodo zomsedari lezephayini leze-aligumi ezivela eLebhanoni, ngoba ngiyakwazi ukuthi abantu bakho bazingcitshi ekugamuleni izigodo khonale. Abantu bami bazasebenza labakho
9 I hoomakaukau lakou no'u i na laau he nui; no ka mea, o ka hale a'u e kukulu ai, he mea e kona nui.
bengilethela izigodo ezinengi, ngoba ithempeli engilakhayo kufanele libe ngelikhulu njalo elibukekayo.
10 Aia hoi, e haawi aku au i kau poe kauwa, i ka poe kua laau, a me ka poe kalai laau, i na kora palaoa i hehiia, he iwakalua tausani, a me na kora bale he iwakalua tausani, a me na bato waina, he iwakalua tausani, a me na bato aila he iwakalua tausani.
Ngizanika izinceku zakho, abagamuli bezigodo, ingqoloyi ecolekileyo eyizilinganiso ezizinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili, izilinganiso zebhali ezizinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili, amatshumi amabili ezinkulungwane zezilinganiso zewayini kanye lezilinganiso zezithelo ze-oliva eziyizinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili.”
11 Olelo mai o Hurama, ke alii o Turo, ma ka palapala ana, a hoouka mai io Solomona la, peneiia, No ke aloha o Iehova i kona poe kanaka, hoolilo mai oia ia oe i alii no lakou.
UHiramu inkosi yaseThire waloba incwadi ephendula uSolomoni wathi: “Kungenxa yokuthi uThixo uyabathanda abantu bakhe, kungakho ukwenze waba yinkosi yabo.”
12 Olelo mai hoi o Hurama, E hoomaikaiia o Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela, ka mea nana i hana ka lani a me ka honua, no kona haawi ana mai ia Davida i ke alii i keiki naauao, ike a akamai, i kukulu ia i hale no Iehova, a i hale hoi no kona aupuni.
UHiramu wabuye wengezelela wathi: “Udumo kuye uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, yena owadala izulu lomhlaba! Unike inkosi uDavida indodana ehlakaniphileyo, egcwele ukukhalipha lombono, ezakwakhela uThixo ithempeli njalo izakhele layo isigodlo sayo.
13 Ano, hoouna aku au i ke kanaka naauao, a me ka ike, a me ke akamai, no Hurama ko'u makuakane.
Ngikuthumela uHuramu-Abhi, indoda eyingcitshi kakhulu,
14 He keiki ia a kekahi wahine no na kaikamahine a Dana, a o kona makuakane he kanaka ia no Turo. Ua ike ia i ka hana ma ke gula, a me ke kala, a me ke keleawe, a me ka hao, a me na pohaku, a me na laau, a me ka lole makue, me ka lole uliuli, a me ka pulupulu a me ka lole ulaula, ka mea ike i ke kalai i na mea nani, a i ka noonoo i na mea hohonu i haawiia mai nana, me kau poe akamai, a me na kanaka akamai o kuu haku, o Davida, kou makuakane.
unina wayo wayedabuka koDani loyise evela eThire. Wafundela ukusebenza igolide lesiliva, ithusi lensimbi, ilitshe lezigodo, kanye lamalembu ayibubende, aluhlaza labomvu lelineni elicolekileyo. Ulobuciko kukho konke ukubalaza lokulungisa amise izimo zezifanekiso aziphiweyo. Uzasebenza lezingcitshi zakho lalaba abenkosi yami, enguyihlo uDavida.
15 Ano, e haawi mai oe na kau mau kauwa, i ka palaoa, a me ka bale a me ka aila, a me ka waina, i ka mea a kuu haku i olelo mai ai.
Ngakho inkosi yami kayithumele izinceku zayo ingqoloyi lebhali lamafutha e-oliva kanye lewayini njengokuthembisa kwayo.
16 A e kalai makou i na laau mawaena o Lebanona e like me kou makemake, a e hoauia'ku ia iou la ma na holopapa a hiki i ke awa o lopa, a nau no e lawe aku ia i Ierusalema.
Thina sizagamula zonke izigodo zeLebhanoni ozifunayo, sizenze iminyaba ezandenda olwandle igelezele eJopha. Wena uyihlangabeze uyithwalele eJerusalema.”
17 A helu o Solomona i na kanaka malihini a pau loa ma ka aina o Iseraela, e like me ka helu ana a Davida a kona makuakane i helu ai; a ua loaa ia ia hookahi haneri a me kanalima tausani, a me na tausani ekolu, a me na haneri eono.
USolomoni wasebala bonke abezizweni ababeko-Israyeli, ngemva kokubalwa okwakwenziwe nguyise uDavida; kwatholakala kuyikuthi babezinkulungwane ezilikhulu elilamatshumi amahlanu lantathu, lamakhulu ayisithupha.
18 A hoonoho iho ia i kanahiku tausani i poe amo, a i kanawalu tausani i poe kalai ma ka mauna, a i ekolu tausani, a me na haneri eono i poe luna e haawi i ka hana na ka poe kanaka.
Wasesithi abazinkulungwane ezingamatshumi ayisikhombisa ababengabokuthwala, kuthi abazinkulungwane ezingamatshumi ayisificaminwembili babengabokubaza amatshe emaqaqeni, abazinkulungwane ezintathu lamakhulu ayisithupha babengabokukhangela abasebenzayo.
