1 Imilando 22
1 UDavida wasesithi, “Indlu kaThixo uNkulunkulu izakuba khonapha, kanye le-alithari lomnikelo wokutshiswa ka-Israyeli.”
Ale David gblɔ be, “Yehowa Mawu ƒe aƒe la anɔ afi sia eye nenema kee anye vɔsamlekpui si dzi Israel asa vɔ le.”
2 Ngakho uDavida wakhupha ilizwi lokuthi bonke abezizweni abahlala ko-Israyeli babuthaniswe, kwathi phakathi kwabo wakhetha ababazi bamatshe ukuze balungise babaze amatshe okwakha indlu kaNkulunkulu.
Azɔ la, David na be amedzro siwo katã nɔ Israelnyigba dzi la nakpa kpe na gbedoxɔ la tutu.
3 Wabuthanisa insimbi enengi kakhulu yokwenza izipikili zezivalo lezinsimbi zokuhlanganisa, wabuthanisa lethusi elinengi elingelakulinganiswa.
Emegbe la, wotsɔ gayibɔ tu gatagbadzɛwo na ʋɔtruwo kple agbowo kple nulégawo. Wololo akɔbli wòsɔ gbɔ ale gbegbe be womate ŋu adae o.
4 Wadinga lezigodo zomsedari ezinengi ezingelakubalwa, ngoba amaSidoni labaseThire baletha inani lazo elikhulu kakhulu kuDavida.
Tirotɔwo kple Sidontɔwo tso sedati geɖewo vɛ na David.
5 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.
David gblɔ be, “Vinye Solomo nye ɖekakpui dzaa aɖe ko, evɔ ele be Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la nanye xɔ nyui, wɔnuku, xɔŋkɔ aɖe le xexe blibo la me eya ta made asi dzadzraɖowɔwɔ me na etutu tso fifia.” Ale David ƒo ƒu xɔtunuawo da ɖi hafi eƒe kuɣi ɖo.
6 Wasebiza uSolomoni indodana yakhe, wamlaya ukuthi akhele uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli indlu.
Azɔ la, egblɔ na ƒe via Solomo be wòatu gbedoxɔ la na Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la.
7 UDavida wathi kuSolomoni: “Ndodana yami, ngangizimisele ukwakhela iBizo likaThixo, uNkulunkulu wami indlu.
Egblɔ na Solomo be, “Vinye, medi be nye ŋutɔ matu gbedoxɔ la hafi,
8 Kodwa ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi lisithi: ‘Wena uchithe igazi elinengi, walwa izimpi ezinengi. Kawuyikwakhela iBizo lami indlu, ngoba uchithe igazi elinengi kakhulu emhlabeni.
ke Yehowa meɖe mɔ nam o. Egblɔ nam be, ‘Èwu ame geɖewo akpa le aʋa gãwo me. Èna anyigba biã le nye ŋkume eya ta menye wòe atu nye gbedoxɔ la o.
9 Kodwa, uzazala indodana ezakuba ngumuntu othanda ukuthula; ngizayiphumuza ezitheni zayo inxa zonke. Izathiwa nguSolomoni, njalo ngizanika u-Israyeli ukuthula ensukwini zokubusa kwakhe.
Ke mana nàdzi viŋutsu aɖe ame si anye ŋutifafame aɖe elabena mana ŋutifafa nanɔ eya kple futɔwo dome le dukɔ siwo ƒo xlã mi la me. Woayɔe be Solomo, si gɔmee nye, “Ŋutifafa” eye mana ŋutifafa kple dzidzeme Israel le eƒe fiaɖuɣi.
10 Nguye ozakwakhela iBizo lami indlu. Uzakuba yindodana yami, mina ngizakuba nguyise. Njalo ngizaqinisa ubukhosi bakhe ko-Israyeli kuze kube nininini.’
Eyae atu nye gbedoxɔ la, anɔ abe nye ŋutɔ vinye ene eye manye fofoa. Mana ƒe viawo kple viawo ƒe viwo naɖu fia to Israel ƒe dzidzimewo katã me!’
11 Ndodana yami, uThixo kabe lawe ukuze uphumelele ukwakha indlu kaThixo uNkulunkulu wakho, njengokutsho kwakhe ngawe.
“Eya ta Yehowa nanɔ kpli wò eye wòana nuwo nadze edzi na wò esi nànɔ nu siwo wòɖo na wò la wɔm eye nànɔ Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la tum.
12 Sengathi uThixo angakunika ukuhlakanipha lokuqedisisa, ukuze kuthi lapho ekunika amandla ko-Israyeli, uwulondoloze umlayo kaThixo uNkulunkulu wakho.
Yehowa nana gɔmesese wò ale be nàlé eƒe sewo me ɖe asi ne eɖo wò fiae ɖe Israel dzi.
13 Uzaphumelela nxa unanzelela ukugcina izimiso lemithetho uThixo ayinika u-Israyeli ngoMosi. Qina, ube lesibindi. Ungesabi utshaywe luvalo.
“Eya ta ne èlé se kple ɖoɖo siwo wòna Israel to Mose dzi me ɖe asi la, nuwo adze edzi na wò. Wɔ kalẽ eye nàlé dzi ɖe ƒo; mègavɔ̃ o, ke boŋ nàtsɔ dzo ɖe wò dɔwo ŋu!
14 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.
“Metsɔ dzigbɔɖi blibo di sika ‘tɔn’ akpe etɔ̃ alafa ene blaatɔ̃, klosalo ‘tɔn’ akpe blaetɔ̃-vɔ-ene alafa atɔ̃ kple akɔbli kple gayibɔ kpekpeme gã aɖe hekpe ɖe ati kple kpe ŋu hena Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la tutu; mɔɖeɖe li be miadi nu siawo akpe wo faa.
15 Ulezisebenzi ezinengi, ababazi bamatshe, labakha ngamatshe, lababazi, lezingcitshi zemisebenzi yonke,
Gawu la, kpeɖolawo kple atikpalawo kple aɖaŋudɔwɔla vovovowo le asiwò.
16 eyegolide, isiliva, ithusi kanye lensimbi, izingcitshi ezingelakubalwa. Qalisa-ke umsebenzi, uThixo abe lawe.”
Aɖaŋudɔwɔla siawo nya sika, klosalo, akɔbli kple gayibɔ ŋu dɔ wɔwɔ nyuie eya ta dze dɔ la gɔme eye Yehowa nanɔ kpli wo.”
17 UDavida waselaya bonke abakhokheli bako-Israyeli ukuba basize uSolomoni indodana yakhe.
Ale David ɖe gbe na Israel ƒe kplɔlawo katã be woakpe ɖe ye vi, Solomo ŋu le gbedoxɔ la tutu me.
18 Wathi kubo, “uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu kakho kini na? Kalinikanga ukuthula inxa zonke na? Ngoba unikele abantu belizwe esandleni sami, lelizwe libuswa nguThixo labantu bakhe.
Egblɔ be, “Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la nanɔ kpli mi. Ena ŋutifafa ɖo miawo kple dukɔ siwo ƒo xlã mi la dome elabena Yehowa ƒe ŋkɔ mee meɖu wo dzi le hena eƒe amewo.
19 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.”
Azɔ la, midze agbagba le go ɖe sia ɖe me be, miaɖo to Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la eye miatsɔ nubablaɖaka la kple nu kɔkɔe bubu siwo ŋu dɔ wowɔna le subɔsubɔ me la va Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la me!”
