1 Imilando 22
1 UDavida wasesithi, “Indlu kaThixo uNkulunkulu izakuba khonapha, kanye le-alithari lomnikelo wokutshiswa ka-Israyeli.”
Pea naʻe toki pehē ʻe Tevita, “Ko eni ʻae fale ʻo Sihova ko e ʻOtua, pea ko e feilaulauʻanga eni ʻoe ngaahi feilaulau tutu maʻa ʻIsileli.”
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.
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Tevita ke tānaki fakataha mai ʻae kakai muli kotoa pē ʻi he fonua ʻo ʻIsileli; pea naʻa ne tuku ʻae kau tangata tā maka ke tā ʻae ngaahi maka tātā ke langa ʻaki ʻae fale ʻoe ʻOtua.
3 Wabuthanisa insimbi enengi kakhulu yokwenza izipikili zezivalo lezinsimbi zokuhlanganisa, wabuthanisa lethusi elinengi elingelakulinganiswa.
Pea naʻe tokonaki ʻe Tevita ʻae ukamea ʻo lahi ʻaupito koeʻuhi ko e faʻo ki he ngaahi matapā ʻoe ngaahi hūʻanga, pea mo hono ngaahi hokoʻanga; pea mo e palasa lahi ʻaupito taʻefaʻafakamamafa;
4 Wadinga lezigodo zomsedari ezinengi ezingelakubalwa, ngoba amaSidoni labaseThire baletha inani lazo elikhulu kakhulu kuDavida.
Pea mo e ngaahi ʻakau sita lahi ʻaupito: he naʻe ʻomi ʻekinautolu ʻo Saitoni mo Taia ʻae ʻakau sita lahi ʻaupito kia Tevita.
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.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita, “ʻOku kei talavou mo vaivai ʻa hoku foha ko Solomone, pea ʻoku totonu ke lelei lahi ʻaupito ʻae fale ʻe langa kia Sihova, ke ongoongolelei ia mo nāunauʻia ʻi he ngaahi fonua kotoa pē: ko ia te u tokonaki eni ki ai.” Pea ko ia naʻe tokonaki ki ai ʻe Tevita ʻo lahi ʻaupito ʻi he teʻeki ai ke ne pekia.
6 Wasebiza uSolomoni indodana yakhe, wamlaya ukuthi akhele uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli indlu.
Pea naʻa ne toki ui kia Solomone ko hono foha, mo ne tuku tala kiate ia ke langa ha fale kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli.
7 UDavida wathi kuSolomoni: “Ndodana yami, ngangizimisele ukwakhela iBizo likaThixo, uNkulunkulu wami indlu.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita kia Solomone, ʻE hoku foha, ko au eni, pea naʻe ʻi hoku loto ia ke u langa ha fale ki he huafa ʻo Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua;
8 Kodwa ilizwi likaThixo lafika kimi lisithi: ‘Wena uchithe igazi elinengi, walwa izimpi ezinengi. Kawuyikwakhela iBizo lami indlu, ngoba uchithe igazi elinengi kakhulu emhlabeni.
Ka naʻe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē, “Kuo lahi ʻae toto kuo ke lilingi, pea kuo ke fai ʻae ngaahi tau lahi: ʻe ʻikai te ke langa ʻe koe ha fale ki hoku huafa, koeʻuhi kuo ke lilingi ʻae toto lahi ʻaupito ki he kelekele ʻi hoku ʻao.
9 Kodwa, uzazala indodana ezakuba ngumuntu othanda ukuthula; ngizayiphumuza ezitheni zayo inxa zonke. Izathiwa nguSolomoni, njalo ngizanika u-Israyeli ukuthula ensukwini zokubusa kwakhe.
‘Vakai, ʻe fanauʻi kiate koe ha foha, ʻaia ʻe hoko ko e tangata ʻoe melino; pea te u tuku kiate ia ʻae mālōlō mei hono ngaahi fili kotoa pē ʻoku nofo takatakai hake; koeʻuhi ʻe fakahingoa ia ko Solomone, pea te u foaki ʻae melino mo e fiemālie ki ʻIsileli ʻi hono ngaahi ʻaho ʻoʻona.
10 Nguye ozakwakhela iBizo lami indlu. Uzakuba yindodana yami, mina ngizakuba nguyise. Njalo ngizaqinisa ubukhosi bakhe ko-Israyeli kuze kube nininini.’
ʻE langa ʻe ia ha fale ki hoku huafa; pea ʻe hoko ia ko hoku foha, pea ko ʻene tamai au; pea te u fokotuʻu ʻae nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻo hono puleʻanga ʻi ʻIsileli ke taʻengata.’
11 Ndodana yami, uThixo kabe lawe ukuze uphumelele ukwakha indlu kaThixo uNkulunkulu wakho, njengokutsho kwakhe ngawe.
Ko ia, ʻe hoku foha, ʻofa ke ʻiate koe ʻa Sihova; pea ke monūʻia koe, mo ke langa ʻae fale ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻo hangē ko ʻene folofola kiate koe.
12 Sengathi uThixo angakunika ukuhlakanipha lokuqedisisa, ukuze kuthi lapho ekunika amandla ko-Israyeli, uwulondoloze umlayo kaThixo uNkulunkulu wakho.
Kae kehe pe ke foaki ʻe Sihova kiate koe ʻae poto mo e ʻilo lelei, mo ne fekauʻi koe koeʻuhi ko ʻIsileli, koeʻuhi ke ke fai ki he fono ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua.
13 Uzaphumelela nxa unanzelela ukugcina izimiso lemithetho uThixo ayinika u-Israyeli ngoMosi. Qina, ube lesibindi. Ungesabi utshaywe luvalo.
Te ke toki monūʻia, ʻo kapau te ke tokanga ke fai ʻae ngaahi fono mo e ngaahi fakamaau ʻaia naʻe fekauʻi ai ʻa Mōsese koeʻuhi ko ʻIsileli: ke ke mālohi koe, mo ke lototoʻa; ʻoua naʻa ke manavahē pe te ke lilika.
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.
Ko eni, vakai, lolotonga ʻa ʻeku masiva kuo u tokonaki maʻae fale ʻo Sihova, ko e taleniti koula ʻe taha kilu, mo e taleniti siliva ʻe taha miliona; pea mo e palasa mo e ukamea taʻefaʻafakamamafa; he ʻoku lahi noa pe ia: kuo u tokonaki foki ʻae ngaahi taʻanga ʻakau mo e ngaahi maka pea te ke faʻa fakalahi ʻe koe ki ai.
15 Ulezisebenzi ezinengi, ababazi bamatshe, labakha ngamatshe, lababazi, lezingcitshi zemisebenzi yonke,
Pea ʻoku ʻiate koe foki ʻae kau tufunga tokolahi ʻaupito, ko e kau tufunga tā maka mo tā ʻakau, mo e kau tangata nimameaʻa ki he ngāue kehekehe kotoa pē.
16 eyegolide, isiliva, ithusi kanye lensimbi, izingcitshi ezingelakubalwa. Qalisa-ke umsebenzi, uThixo abe lawe.”
ʻOku ʻikai faʻa lau ʻae koula, mo e siliva, pea mo e palasa, mo e ukamea. Ko ia, ke ke tuʻu hake koe mo ke ngāue, pea ke ʻiate koe ʻa Sihova.”
17 UDavida waselaya bonke abakhokheli bako-Israyeli ukuba basize uSolomoni indodana yakhe.
Naʻe fekau foki ʻe Tevita ki he houʻeiki kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli ke tokoni kia Solomone ko hono foha, [ʻo pehē],
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.
“ʻIkai ʻoku kau mo kimoutolu ʻa Sihova ko homou ʻOtua? Pea ʻikai kuo ne foaki kiate kimoutolu ʻae fiemālie mei he potu takatakai kotoa pē? He kuo ne tuku mai ki hoku nima ʻae kakai ʻoe fonua; pea kuo ikuna ʻae fonua ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, pea ʻi he ʻao ʻo hono kakai.
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.”
Pea ko eni mou tukupau homou loto mo homou laumālie ke kumi kia Sihova ko homou ʻOtua; ko ia, mou tutuʻu hake mo langa ʻekimoutolu ʻae faletapu kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua, koeʻuhi ke ʻomi ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻa Sihova, mo e ngaahi nāunau tapu ʻoe ʻOtua ki he fale ʻaia ʻe langa ki he huafa ʻo Sihova.”
