2 Ebyomumirembe 7
1 Awo Sulemaani bwe yamaliriza esaala ye, omuliro ne guva mu ggulu ne gwokya ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa ne ssaddaaka era n’ekitiibwa kya Mukama ne kijjula eyeekaalu.
Kwathi uSolomoni eseqedile ukukhuleka, umlilo wehla uvela emazulwini, wadla umnikelo wokutshiswa lemihlatshelo, lenkazimulo yeNkosi yagcwalisa indlu.
2 Bakabona ne batayinza kuyingira mu yeekaalu ya Mukama kubanga ekitiibwa kya Mukama kyajjula eyeekaalu ya Mukama.
Njalo abapristi babengelakho ukungena endlini yeNkosi, ngoba inkazimulo yeNkosi yayigcwalise indlu yeNkosi.
3 Awo Abayisirayiri bonna bwe baalaba omuliro nga gukka, n’ekitiibwa kya Mukama nga kiri ku yeekaalu, ne bavuunama ku lubalaza ng’amaaso gaabwe gatunudde wansi ne basinza era ne beebaza Mukama nga boogera nti, “Mulungi, era okwagala kwe kubeerera emirembe gyonna.”
Lapho bonke abantwana bakoIsrayeli bebona ukwehla komlilo lenkazimulo yeNkosi phezu kwendlu, bakhothama ngobuso babo emhlabathini endaweni egandelweyo, bakhonza bedumisa iNkosi, ukuthi ilungile, ukuthi umusa wayo umi phakade.
4 Awo kabaka n’abantu bonna, ne baweerayo ssaddaaka mu maaso ga Mukama.
Inkosi labo bonke abantu banikela-ke imihlatshelo phambi kweNkosi.
5 Kabaka Sulemaani n’awaayo ssaddaaka ey’ente ezawera emitwalo ebiri, n’endiga n’embuzi emitwalo kkumi n’ebiri. Awo kabaka n’abantu bonna ne bawonga eyeekaalu ya Mukama.
Inkosi uSolomoni yasinikela imihlatshelo yezinkabi ezizinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili, lezimvu ezizinkulungwane ezilikhulu lamatshumi amabili. Ngokunjalo inkosi labo bonke abantu bayehlukanisa indlu kaNkulunkulu.
6 Bakabona ne bayimirira mu bifo byabwe, n’Abaleevi nabo mu bifo byabwe nga bakutte ebivuga bya Mukama, kabaka Dawudi bye yali akoze olw’okutenderezanga Mukama, buli lwe yeebazanga Mukama ng’agamba nti, “Okwagala kwe kubeerera emirembe gyonna.” Ku luuyi olwaddirira Abaleevi, bakabona ne bafuuwa amakondeere, Isirayiri yenna n’ayimirira.
Abapristi basebesima ezikhundleni zabo; lamaLevi elezinto zokuhlabelela zikaJehova inkosi uDavida ayezenzele ukudumisa uJehova, ngoba umusa wakhe umi phakade, lapho uDavida edumisa ngenkonzo yabo; labapristi bakhalisa impondo phambi kwabo, loIsrayeli wonke wema.
7 Sulemaani n’atukuza oluggya olwa wakati olwali mu maaso ga yeekaalu ya Mukama, era eyo n’aweerayo ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa n’amasavu ag’ebiweebwayo olw’emirembe kubanga ku kyoto eky’ekikomo kye yali akoze kwali tekugyako biweebwayo byokebwa n’ebiweebwayo ebyobutta, n’ebitundu n’amasavu.
USolomoni wasengcwelisa iphakathi leguma elaliphambi kwendlu yeNkosi, ngoba wenza lapho iminikelo yokutshiswa lamahwahwa eminikelo yokuthula, ngoba ilathi lethusi uSolomoni ayelenzile lalingenele umnikelo wokutshiswa, lomnikelo wokudla, lamahwahwa.
8 Era mu kiseera kyekimu Sulemaani n’akuuma embaga eyo okumala ennaku musanvu, ne Isirayiri yenna wamu naye, n’ekibiina ekinene ennyo okuva awayingirirwa e Kamasi okutuuka ku kagga ak’e Misiri.
Langalesosikhathi uSolomoni wenza umkhosi okwensuku eziyisikhombisa, loIsrayeli wonke kanye laye, ibandla elikhulu kakhulu, kusukela ekungeneni kweHamathi kusiya esifuleni seGibhithe.
9 Ku lunaku olw’omunaana ne bakuba olukuŋŋaana, kubanga baali bajjagulizza okuwongebwa kw’ekyoto ennaku musanvu, n’embaga ennaku endala musanvu.
Langosuku lwesificaminwembili benza umhlangano onzulu, ngoba benza ukwehlukaniswa kwelathi okwensuku eziyisikhombisa, lomkhosi okwensuku eziyisikhombisa.
10 Ku lunaku olw’amakumi abiri mu esatu olw’omwezi ogw’omusanvu, Kabaka Sulemaani n’asindika abantu baddeyo ewaabwe, era ne bagenda nga basanyufu era nga bajaguza mu mitima gyabwe olw’obulungi bwa Mukama bwe yalaga Dawudi ne Sulemaani n’abantu be Isirayiri.
Ngosuku lwamatshumi amabili lantathu lwenyanga yesikhombisa waseyekela abantu bahamba baya emathenteni abo, bethokoza bejabula enhliziyweni ngokuhle iNkosi eyayikwenzele uDavida loSolomoni loIsrayeli abantu bayo.
11 Awo Sulemaani bwe yamaliriza eyeekaalu ya Mukama, n’olubiri lwa kabaka, era ng’amalirizza n’ebyo byonna bye yali ateeseteese mu mutima gwe okukola mu yeekaalu ya Mukama ne mu lubiri lwa kabaka,
Ngokunjalo uSolomoni waqeda indlu kaJehova lendlu yenkosi; lakho konke okwakuvela enhliziyweni kaSolomoni ukukwenza endlini yeNkosi lendlini yakhe wakuphumelelisa.
12 Mukama n’amulabikira mu kiro n’amugamba nti, “Mpulidde okusaba kwo, era neerobozza gye ndi ekifo kino okuba eyeekaalu ey’okuweerangamu ssaddaaka.
INkosi yasibonakala kuSolomoni ebusuku yathi kuye: Ngizwile umkhuleko wakho, sengizikhethele lindawo ukuba yindlu yomhlatshelo.
13 “Bwe nnaggalangawo eggulu enkuba n’etatonnya, oba ne ndagira enzige okulya ensi oba ne nsindikira abantu bange kawumpuli,
Uba ngivala amazulu ukuze kungabi lazulu, kumbe uba ngilaya intethe ukuqeda ilizwe, kumbe uba ngithumela umatshayabhuqe wesifo phakathi kwabantu bami,
14 abantu bange abatuumiddwa erinnya lyange bwe baneetowazanga, ne basaba, ne banoonya amaaso gange, ne bakyuka okuleka amakubo gaabwe amakyamu, kale nnaawuliranga nga nsinziira mu ggulu ne nsonyiwa ekibi kyabwe era ne mponya ensi yaabwe.
uba abantu bami ibizo lami elibizwa phezu kwabo bezithoba, bakhuleke badinge ubuso bami, baphenduke ezindleleni zabo ezimbi, mina-ke ngizakuzwa ngisemazulwini, ngithethelele isono sabo, ngelaphe ilizwe labo.
15 Era amaaso gange ganaazibukanga, n’amatu gange ganaawuliranga esaala ezinaawebwangayo mu kifo kino.
Khathesi amehlo ami azavuleka, lendlebe zami zilalele umkhuleko walindawo.
16 Nnonze era neewongedde yeekaalu eno, Erinnya lyange libeerenga omwo ennaku zonna. Amaaso gange n’omutima gwange binaabeeranga omwo ekiseera kyonna.
Ngoba sengiyikhethile ngayingcwelisa lindlu ukuze ibizo lami libe khona kuze kube nininini; lamehlo ami lenhliziyo yami kuzakuba lapho zonke izinsuku.
17 “Bw’onootambuliranga mu maaso gange nga Dawudi kitaawo bwe yakola, n’okola bye nkulagira byonna, n’okuuma ebiragiro byange n’amateeka gange,
Wena-ke, uba uhamba phambi kwami njengokuhamba kukaDavida uyihlo, wenze njengakho konke engikulaye khona, ugcine izimiso zami lezahlulelo zami,
18 ndinyweza entebe ey’obwakabaka bwo, nga bwe nalagaana ne Dawudi kitaawo bwe nayogera nti, ‘Tolirema kuba na musika alifuga Isirayiri.’
ngizaqinisa-ke isihlalo sobukhosi sombuso wakho, njengokwenza kwami isivumelwano loDavida uyihlo ngisithi: Kakuyikusweleka muntu kuwe obusa koIsrayeli.
19 “Naye bwe munaakyuka ne muva ku mateeka gange n’ebiragiro byange bye mbawadde, ne mugenda okuweereza bakatonda abalala ne mubasinza,
Kodwa uba libuyela emuva lina, litshiya izimiso zami lemilayo yami engikubeke phambi kwenu, lihambe likhonze abanye onkulunkulu libakhothamele,
20 ndisiguukulula Isirayiri okuva mu nsi yange, gye mbawadde, era sirifaayo na ku yeekaalu eno gye neewongera olw’Erinnya lyange. Ndigifuula ekisekererwa era ekinyoomebwa mu mawanga gonna.
ngizabasiphuna-ke elizweni engibanike lona, lalindlu engiyingcwelisele ibizo lami ngizayilahla isuke phambi kwami, ngiyenze ibe yisiga lento yokuhozwa phakathi kwezizwe zonke.
21 Newaakubadde nga yeekaalu eno eyatiikiridde nnyo, abaliyitawo bonna balyewuunya, nga boogera nti, ‘Lwaki Mukama akoze ekifaanana bwe kiti ku nsi eno ne ku yeekaalu eno?’
Lalindlu ephakemeyo izakuba yisimangaliso kulowo lalowo odlula kuyo, aze athi: INkosi ikwenzeleni okunje kulelilizwe lakulindlu?
22 Abantu baliddamu nti, ‘Kubanga baava ku Mukama, Katonda wa bajjajjaabwe eyabaggya mu Misiri, ne bagoberera bakatonda abalala, nga babasinza era nga babaweereza, kyavudde abaleetako emitawaana gino gyonna, ginnamuzisa.’”
Bazakuthi-ke: Kungoba beyidelile iNkosi uNkulunkulu waboyise eyabakhupha elizweni leGibhithe, babambelela kwabanye onkulunkulu, babakhonza babasebenzela; ngenxa yalokho ibehlisele bonke lobububi.
