1 Imilando 28
1 UDavida wamema zonke izikhulu zako-Israyeli zabuthana eJerusalema: izikhulu zezizwana, abalawuli bamaviyo emsebenzini wenkosi, abalawuli bezinkulungwane kanye labalawuli bamakhulu, lezikhulu ezaziphethe ezezimpahla lezifuyo zenkosi lamadodana ayo, kanye lezikhulu zesigodlweni, amaqhawe labo bonke ababelezibindi empini.
HOULUULU ae la o Davida i na luna a pau o ka Iseraela, i na luna ohana, a me na luna o na poe i hookauwa na ke alii ma na papa, me na lunatausani, me na lunahaneri, me na luna o na holoholona a me na waiwai a pau o ke alii, me kana mau keikikane, me na ilamuku, me na kanaka koikoi, a me na kanaka koa a pau, i Ierusalema.
2 Inkosi uDavida yasukuma yathi: “Lalelani, zihlobo labantu bami, bengizimisele ukwakhela ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaThixo, indlu yokuhlala njalo kuyisenabelo sikaNkulunkulu wethu, ngaze ngenza amalungiselelo okukufeza lokho.
Alaila ku ae la o Davida ke alii ma kona wawae, olelo mai la, E hoolohe mai, e na hoahanau o'u, a me o'u kanaka: iloko no o kuu naau ka hana i hale hoomaha no ka pahu berita o Iehova, a no ka paepae wawae o ko kakou Akua, a ua hoomakaukau no wau no ka hana ana.
3 Kodwa uNkulunkulu wathi kimi: ‘Awuyikulakhela indlu iBizo lami, ngoba wena ungowempi njalo usuchithe igazi.’
Aka, olelo mai la ke Akua ia'u, Mai hana oe i hale no ko'u, inoa, no ka mea, he kanaka kaua oe, a ua hookahe oe i na koko.
4 Kodwa uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, wakhetha mina kuyo yonke indlu yakwethu ukuba yinkosi yako-Israyeli kuze kube nininini. Wakhetha uJuda ukuba abe ngumkhokheli, kwathi khona endlini kaJuda wakhetha imuli yakwethu, kwazakuthi emadodaneni kababa kumthokozisile ukungibeka ngibe yinkosi kulolonke elako-Israyeli.
Aka hoi, i koho mai o Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela ia'u imua o ka ohana a pau a ko'u makuakane i alii mau maluna o ka Iseraela: no ka mea, i koho mai oia i ka Iuda i alii; a i ka ohana a ko'u makuakane no ka ohana a Iuda; a iwaena o na keiki a kuu makuakane, i makemake oia ia'u e hoolilo i alii maluna o ka Iseraela a pau:
5 Kuwo wonke amadodana ami njengoba uThixo engiphe amanengi, umkhethile uSolomoni indodana yami ukuba ahlale esihlalweni sobukhosi esikhosini sombuso kaThixo ko-Israyeli.
A na keikikane a'u a pau, (no ka mea, ua haawi mai ke Akua ia'u i na keikikane he nui, ) ua wae mai oia i kuu keiki ia Solomona e noho ia maluna o ka nohoalii o ke aupuni o Iehova, maluna o ka Iseraela.
6 Wathi kimi: ‘USolomoni indodana yakho yiyo ezangakhela indlu yami ilungise lamaguma ami, ngoba ngimkhethile ukuba abe yindodana yami, lami ngizakuba nguyise.
I mai la oia ia'u, O Solomona kau keiki, oia no ka mea nana e hana ko'u hale a me ko'u mau pahale: no ka mea, ua wae au ia ia i keiki na'u, a owau auanei kona makua.
7 Ngizawuqinisa umbuso wakhe kuze kube nininini nxa eqina ekugcineni imilayo yami lemithetho yami njengalokhu okwenzakalayo lamuhla.’
Eia hoi, e hookupaa auanei au i kona aupuni a mau loa aku: ina e ikaika oia ke hana i ka'u mau kauoha, a me ko'u mau kanawai, e like me ia i keia la.
8 Ngakho-ke phambi kwakhe wonke u-Israyeli, lebandla likaThixo uNkulunkulu, laphambi kukaNkulunkulu wethu: gcinani linanzelele imilayo kaThixo uNkulunkulu wenu, ukuze libe lelizwe elihle elizalitshiyela izizukulwane kube yilifa lazo kuze kube nininini.
Ano hoi, imua o na maka o ka Iseraela a pau, o ke anainakanaka o Iehova, imua hoi o na pepeiao o ko kakou Akua, e malama oukou me ka imi aku i na kauoha a pau a Iehova a ko oukou Akua: i noho ai oukou ma keia aina maikai, a e waiho hoi ia i hooilina no na keiki mahope o oukou a mau loa aku.
9 Njalo wena ndodana yami, Solomoni, mamukele uNkulunkulu kayihlo, umkhonze ngokuzinikela ngenhliziyo yakho yonke langengqondo yokuvuma, ngoba uThixo uyihlola yonke inhliziyo kanti uyayazi iminakano lezenzo zonke. Nxa umdinga uThixo, uzamthola wena, kodwa nxa umfulathela, uzakufulathela yena kuze kube nininini.
O oe hoi, e Solomona kuu keiki, e ike oe i ke Akua o na kupuna ou, a e malama ia ia me ka naau pono, a me ka manao makemake: no ka mea, ke nana mai nei o Iehova i na naau a pau, a ke ike nei i na ano a pau o na manao: ina oe e imi aku ia ia, e loaa auanei oia ia oe: aka, i haalele oe ia ia, e kiola aku oia ia oe a mau loa aku.
10 Nanzelela-ke ngoba uThixo ukukhethile ukuba umakhele ithempeli libe yindawo yokukhonzela. Qina wenze umsebenzi.”
E malama oe ano: no ka mea, ua wae mai o Iehova ia oe e hana i hale no ke keenakapu; e hooikaika oe, a e hana.
11 Ngakho uDavida wasenika uSolomoni indodana yakhe umdwebo wesakhiwo sethempeli, lowezindlu zalo, lowezindlu zenotho, lowezindlu zangaphezulu, lowezindlu zangaphakathi, lowendlu yesihlalo somusa.
Alaila haawi mai la o Davida ia Solomona kana keiki, i ke kumu no ka lanai, a no na hale olaila, a no na waihonawaiwai olaila, a no na keena luna olaila, a no na keena waena, a no kahi o ka noho aloha,
12 Wamnika umdwebo wakho konke ayekutshengiswe nguMoya engqondweni yakhe ngamaguma ethempeli likaThixo, lowezindlu eziwazingelezeleyo, lowendlu yenotho yethempeli, lowendlu yenotho yezinto ezingcwele.
A me ke kumu no na mea a pau ia ia na ka Uhane mai, no na pahale o ka hale o Iehova, a no na keena a pau e puni ana, no na waihonawaiwai o ka hale o ke Akua, a no na hale ahu i ka waiwai i hoolaaia:
13 Wamtshela langesimo sezigaba zabaphristi lezabaLevi, langawo wonke umsebenzi wasethempelini likaThixo, langezitsha zonke zenkonzo,
A no na papa hoi o na kahuna, a o na Levi, a no ka hana ana a pau i ka oihana o ka hale o Iehova, a no na ipu o ka oihana iloko o ka hale o Iehova.
14 langesisindo segolide lazozonke izitsha zegolide zaleyo laleyo nkonzo, langesisindo sezitsha zesiliva zaleyo laleyo nkonzo:
A haawi mai la ia i gula i kaupaonaia i mea gula, no na mea hana i na oihana a pau: a o na mea kala a pau ma ke kaupaona ana, no na mea hana i na oihana a pau:
15 langesisindo sezinti zezibane zegolide kanye lezibane zazo, langesisindo segolide salolo lalololuthi lwesibane lezibane zalo, lobunzima besiliva balolo lalololuthi lwesibane lezibane zalo, njengokusetshenziswa kwazo enkonzweni;
I ka mea i kaupaonaia no na waihona kukui gula, a me na ipukukui gula o lakou; ma ke kaupaona no na waihonakukui a pau, a no na ipukukui o lakou: a no na waihona kukui kala ma ke kaupaona: no ka waihona kukui, a no na ipukukui ona, e like me ke ano o kela a me keia waihonakukui.
16 langesisindo segolide saleyotafula lezinkwa ezahlukaniselwe uNkulunkulu lesisindo sesiliva esamatafula enziwe ngesiliva;
A i ke gula ma ke kaupaona ana no ka papa berena hoike, no kela papa a no keia papa: a he kala no na papa kala:
17 isisindo segolide elicengekileyo lezinti, imiganu yokuchelisa lezinkezo zakhona, lesisindo saleso lalesositsha segolide, kanye lesaleso lalesositsha sesiliva.
A i ke gula maoli no na lou manamana, no na bola a no na kiaha: a no na pa gula haawi mai la ia i ke gula i kaupaonaia no kela pa a keia pa: a me ke kala i kaupaonaia no kela pa kala a keia pa kala:
18 Wamtshela langesimo se-alithare lempepha elenziwe ngegolide elicengekileyo lesisindo salo, langomfanekiso wesihlalo esingamakherubhi egolide achaye amaphiko awo egubuzele ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaThixo.
A no ke kuahu kuni mea ala i ke gula maemae ma ke kaupaona: a he gula no ke kumu o ke kaa o I na keruba, i hohola ae a uhi iho i ka pahu berita o Iehova.
19 UDavida wasesithi: “Konke lokhu ngilakho kulotshwe ngesandla sikaThixo phezu kwami, njalo wanginika ukuzwisisa kukho konke lokhu langokuphelela kwesimo sakhona.”
O keia a pau ka Iehova i hoomaopopo mai ai ia'u i ke kakau ana, ma kona lima maluna iho o'u, o na hana a pau o keia kumu.
20 Okunye okwatshiwo nguDavida kuSolomoni indodana yakhe yikuthi, “Qina ube lesibindi, njalo uwenze lumsebenzi. Ungesabi njalo ungalahli ithemba ngoba uThixo uNkulunkulu, uNkulunkulu wami, ulawe. Kawuyikwehluleka njalo kayikukufulathela kuze kube sekupheleni komsebenzi wethempeli likaThixo.
Olelo mai la o Davida ia Solomona kana keiki, E ikaika oe, a e koa hoi, a e hana: mai makau oe, aole hoi e pauaho; no ka mea, me oe pu no o Iehova ke Akua, o ko'u Akua: aole oia e hoohoka mai, aole hoi o haalele mai ia oe, a paa ia oe ka hana a pau no ka oihana o ka hale o Iehova.
21 Izigaba zabaphristi labaLevi sebelindele wonke umsebenzi wethempeli likaNkulunkulu, njalo kuzakuthi bonke abazinikeleyo bakuphathise ngobungcitshi babo obupheleleyo kuyo yonke imisebenzi. Izikhulu labantu bonke zizayamukela yonke imilayo yakho.”
Eia hoi o na papa o ka poe kahuna a me na Levi, [o lakou me oe] no na oihana a pau o ka hale o ke Akua: a me oe no na kanaka makemake makaukau a pau no na hana a pau, no kela hana keia hana a pau: a ma kau kauoha wale no hoi na luna a me na kanaka a pau.
