1 Imilando 29
1 Inkosi uDavida yathi ebandleni lonke: “Indodana yami uSolomoni, yena kanye osekhethwe nguNkulunkulu, usesengumfana njalo usesemutsha. Umsebenzi mkhulu, ngoba lesisakhiwo sobukhosi ayisiso esomuntu kodwa ngesikaThixo uNkulunkulu.
OLELO mai la hoi o Davida ke alii i ke anainakanaka a pau, O kuu keiki, o Solomona, ka mea a ke Akua i wae mai ai, he opiopio ia, he palupalu, a he nui ka hana: no ka mea, aole no ke kanaka ka halealii, no Iehova ke Akua no.
2 Sengilungiselele ngayo yonke inzuzo engilayo ukwakhiwa kwethempeli likaNkulunkulu wami, igolide lokwenza izinto zegolide, isiliva sokwenza izinto zesiliva, ithusi lokwenza izinto zethusi, lensimbi yokwenza izinto zensimbi, lezigodo zokwenza izinto zezigodo, kanye lohlobo lwamatshe e-onikisi, lamatshe okubekwa, lamatshe okucecisa, lalemibala, lenhlobonhlobo zonke zamatshe amahle lamatshe alukhuni amanengi, konke lokhu ngikubuthelele ngakunengi.
Ua hoomakaukau iho no wau me kuu ikaika a pau no ka hale o kuu Akua i ke gula no na mea gula, i ke kala no ua mea kala, i ke keleawe no na mea keleawe, i ka hao no na mea hao, a i ka laau no na mea laau: i na pohaku onika e kauia'i, na pohaku hinuhinu, a he onionio hoi, a me na pohaku makamae he nui na ano, a me na pohaku mamora he nui loa.
3 Ngaphandle kwalokho, ngenxa yokutshisekela kwami ithempeli likaNkulunkulu wami, manje senginikela inotho yami yegolide lesiliva ethempelini likaNkulunkulu wami ngaphezu kwakho konke engikulethileyo ethempelini leli elingcwele:
A no ka mea, ua kau aku no wau i ke aloha o'u ma ka hale o ko'u Akua, ua haawi aku no wau i ke gula a me ke kala o kuu waiwai ponoi, no ka hale o ko'u Akua, he pakela aku ia i na mea a pau a'u i hoomakaukau ai no ka hale hoano;
4 ngamathalenta egolide azinkulungwane ezintathu egolide (igolide lase-Ofiri) lamathalenta esiliva esicengekileyo azinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa okokugudula ngalo imiduli yezindlu,
Ekolu no tausani talena gula, no ke gula o Opira, a me na tausani talena kala maemae ehiku, i mea e hoouhi ia i na paia o na hale:
5 okomsebenzi wegolide lokomsebenzi wesiliva lokwawo wonke umsebenzi ozakwenziwa yizingcitshi. Ngakho, ngubani ofuna ukuzinikela kuThixo lamuhla?”
O ke gula no na mea gula, a o ke kala no na mea kala, a no na hana a pau ma na lima o na paahaua. Owai hoi ka mea makemake e hoopiha i kona lima no Iehova i keia la?
6 Abazinhloko zezindlu, izikhulu zezizwana zako-Israyeli, abalawuli bezinkulungwane labalawuli bamakhulu, lezikhulu ezazikhangele ngokuqhutshwa komsebenzi wenkosi bapha ngokuzinikela.
Alaila, mohai oluolu aku la na makua'lii a me na luna ohana o ka Iseraela, me na lunatausani a me na lunahaneri, a me na luna o ka hana a ke alii.
7 Banikela emsebenzini wethempeli likaNkulunkulu amathalenta azinkulungwane ezinhlanu lezinhlamvu zegolide ezizinkulungwane ezilitshumi, lamathalenta esiliva azinkulungwane ezilitshumi, amathalenta ethusi azinkulungwane ezilitshumi lasificaminwembili mibili, lamathalenta azinkulungwane ezilikhulu ensimbi.
A haawi aku la lakou no ka oihana o ka hale o ke Akua, i elima tausani talena gula, a me na derama he umi tausani, a me na talena kala he umi tausani, a me na talena keleawe he umikumamawalu tausani, a me na talena hao hookahi haneri tausani.
8 Loba ngubani owayelamatshe aligugu wawanikela endlini yenotho yethempeli likaThixo yona eyayiphethwe nguJehiyeli umGeshoni.
A o ka poe i loaa na pohaku [makamae] ia lakou, haawi oluolu aku lakou no ka waihona waiwai o Iehova, ma ka lima o Iehiela ka Geresona.
9 Abantu baba lokujabula okukhulu bebona ukuzinikela kwabakhokheli babo, ngoba banikela kuThixo ngokukhululeka langezinhliziyo zabo zonke. UDavida inkosi laye wajabula kakhulu.
Alaila, olioli ae la na kanaka, no ka mea, haawi oluolu aku la lakou; a me ka naau pono lakou i haawi oluolu aku ai no Iehova: a olioli iho la hoi o Davida ke alii me ka olioli nui.
10 UDavida wamdumisa uThixo phambi kwebandla lonke esithi: “Kawudunyiswe, Wena Thixo, Nkulunkulu ka-Israyeli ukhokho, kusukela nininini kuze kube nininini.
Nolaila, hoomaikai aku la o Davida ia Iehova imua o ke anaina kanaka a pau: olelo aku la o Davida, E hoomaikaiia oe, e Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela, o ko makou makua, a mau loa, a mau loa aku.
11 Bungobakho, Oh Thixo, ubukhulu lamandla lodumo lobukhosi lenkazimulo, ngoba konke okusezulwini lokusemhlabeni kungokwakho. Bungobakho, Oh Thixo, ubukhosi; uphakeme wena phezu konke.
Nou no, e Iehova, ka nui, me ka mana, a me ka nani, a me ka oiaio, a me ka hanohano alii: no ka mea, nou na mea a pau ma ka lani a ma ka honua: nou no ke aupuni, e Iehova, a ua kiekie ae oe ka pookela maluna o na mea a pau.
12 Inotho lodumo kuvela kuwe; ungumbusi wazo zonke izinto. Esandleni sakho kukhona ukuqina lamandla. Kukuwe ukuphakamisa lokupha amandla kubo bonke.
Nou mai ka waiwai a me ka maikai, a e alii ana oe maluna o na mea a pau: a maloko o kou lima ka mana a me ka ikaika: a iloko hoi o kou lima ka mea e nui ai a e ikaika ai na kanaka a pau.
13 Siyakubonga khathesi, Nkulunkulu wethu, silidumisa ibizo lakho elilodumo.
Nolaila hoi, e ko makou Akua, ke aloha aku nei makou ia oe, me ka hoomaikai i kou inoa nani.
14 Kodwa mina ngiyini, bayini abantu bami, ukuthi sinikele ngenhliziyo yonke na? Konke kuvela kuwe, thina sikunike kuphela lokho okuvela esandleni sakho.
Owai hoi wau, owai hoi ko'u poe kanaka, i hiki ai ia makou ke haawi oluolu aku me keia? No ka mea, nou mai na mea a pau, a o kau ka makou i haawi aku ai ia oe.
15 Singabezizweni lezethekeli emehlweni akho, njengoba labokhokho bethu bonke babenjalo. Insuku zethu emhlabeni ziyafanana lesithunzi, asisilutho, kalikho ithemba.
No ka mea, he poe makou no ka aina e imua ou, e noho malihini ana, e like me ko makou poe kupuna a pau; me he aka la ko makou mau la maluna o ka honua, aole no he manaolana.
16 Oh Thixo Nkulunkulu wethu, lokhu esesikunikele ngobunengi bakho ekwakhiweni kwethempeli eliyindawo yeBizo lakho eliNgcwele, kuvela esandleni sakho, njalo konke kuvele kungokwakho.
E Iehova ko makou Akua, o keia ahu waiwai a pau a makou i hoomakaukau ai e hana i hale no kou inoa hoano, na kou lima mai no ia, a nou wale no ia a pau.
17 Ngiyazi, Nkulunkulu wami, uhlola inhliziyo njalo uyabuthanda ubuqotho. Zonke lezizinto ngizinikele ngokufisa langenhliziyo yobuqotho. Khathesi ngikhangele ngentokozo abantu bakho abalapha ukuthi banikele ngesifiso kuwe.
Ua ike no hoi au, e ko'u Akua, ke hoao mai nei oe i ka naau, a ua oluolu mai i ka pono. A owau nei la, ma ka manao pono o kuu naau ua haawi oluolu aku wau i neia mau mea a pau: a ua ike iho nei hoi au me ka olioli i kou poe kanaka maanei, e haawi oluolu aku ana nou.
18 Oh Thixo, Nkulunkulu wabobaba o-Abhrahama, lo-Isaka lo-Israyeli, yenza inhliziyo zabantu bakho zime ngalokhu kulangatha, njalo inhliziyo zabo zibe kuwe kuze kube nininini.
E Iehova, ke Akua o Aberahama, o Isaaka, a o Iseraela, o ko makou poe kupuna, e hoopaa mau loa mai oe i keia iloko o na manao o ka naau o kou poe kanaka, a e hookupaa i ko lakou naau nou.
19 Phana uSolomoni, indodana yami, inhliziyo epheleleyo ukuze agcine imilayo yakho lemithetho yakho lezimiso zakho, lokuthi akhe lesisakhiwo esiyisigodlo mina esengisilungiselele.”
A e haawi mai oe i kuu keiki ia Solomona i naau pono, e malama ai i kau mau kauoha, i kau mau olelo, a me kou mau kanawai, a e hana ia mau mea a pau, a e hana hoi ia i ka halealii a'u i hoomakaukau ai.
20 UDavida wasesithi kulolonke ibandla, “Dumisani uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu.” Ngakho bonke bamdumisa uThixo, uNkulunkulu wabokhokho babo, bathi mbo ngobuso phansi, bekhonza uThixo, behlonipha lenkosi.
Olelo mai la o Davida i ke anainakanaka a pau, Ano, e hoomaikai oukou ia Iehova i ko oukou Akua. A hoomaikai aku la ke anainakanaka a pau ia Iehova i ke Akua o ko lakou poe kupuna, a kulou iho la i ko lakou mau poo, a kulou loa imua o Iehova, a me ke alii.
21 Ngosuku olulandelayo banikela imihlatshelo kuThixo leminikelo yokutshiswa: inkunzi eziyinkulungwane, lenqama eziyinkulungwane lamazinyane amaduna ayinkulungwane, leminikelo yokunathwayo, layo yonke eminye imihlatshelo banikela ngokunengi benikelela bonke abako-Israyeli.
A mohai aku la lakou i na mohai na Iehova, a kaumaha aku la i na mohaikuni na Iehova, i ka la mahope mai o ia la, i hookahi tausani bipikane, hookahi tausani hipakane, hookahi tausani hipakeiki, me na mohai inu a lakou, a me na mohai aloha he nui loa no ka Iseraela a pau.
22 Badla banatha ngokujabula okukhulu ngalolosuku phambi kukaThixo. Basebememukela okwesibili uSolomoni indodana kaDavida, bamgcoba phambi kukaThixo ukuthi abe ngumbusi, kuthi uZadokhi abe ngumphristi.
Ai iho la a inu hoi lakou imua o Iehova ia la me ka olioli nui. A hoalii hou aku la lakou ia Solomona i ke keiki a Davida, a poni iho la ia ia no Iehova, i alii nui, a ia Zadoka hoi i kahuna nui.
23 USolomoni wasebusa embusweni kaThixo esikhundleni sikayise uDavida. Waphumelela njalo wonke u-Israyeli wamlalela.
Alaila, noho iho la o Solomona maluna o ka nohoalii o Iehova, i alii ma kahi o Davida o kona makuakane, a he pomaikai kona: a hoolohe mai la ka Iseraela a pau ia ia.
24 Izikhulu zonke kanye lamaqhawe, ndawonye lamadodana eNkosi uDavida bazinikela ngaphansi kombuso weNkosi uSolomoni.
A o na alii a pau a me na kanaka koikoi, a o na keikikane hoi a pau a Davida ke alii, kau iho ia lakou i ko lakou lima malalo o Solomona ke alii.
25 UThixo wamphakamisa kakhulu uSolomoni wamnika isithunzi phezu kwabo bonke abako-Israyeli, njalo wamnika ubukhosi obungazange bube khona esikhosini kwabako-Israyeli.
Hoonui iho la o Iehova ia Solomona a nui loa imua o na maka o ka Iseraela a pau, a haawi mai la ia ia i ka hanohano alii, aole i haawiia mai ka mea like maluna o kekahi alii iloko o ka Iseraela mamua ona.
26 UDavida indodana kaJese wayeyinkosi yabo bonke abako-Israyeli.
Pela o Davida ke keiki a Iese i alii ai maluna o ka Iseraela a pau.
27 Wabusa kwabako-Israyeli iminyaka engamatshumi amane, eyisikhombisa eHebhroni kwathi engamatshumi amathathu lantathu eJerusalema.
A o ka manawa ana i alii ai maluna o ka Iseraela, he kanaha na makahiki: ehiku makahiki ana i alii ai ma Heberona, a he kanakolukumamakolu ana i alii ai ma Ierusalema.
28 Wafa eseluphele eseleminyaka eminengi kakhulu lenotho lodumo; uSolomoni indodana yakhe waba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.
A make iho la oia i ka wa elemakule loa, a he nui na la, na waiwai, a me ka maikai ona; a alii iho la o Solomona ma kona wahi.
29 Izehlakalo zombuso weNkosi uDavida kusukela ekuqaleni kuze kube sekupheleni, zilotshiwe egwalweni lwembali kaSamuyeli umboni, egwalweni lwembali kaNathani umphrofethi kanye lasegwalweni lwembali kaGadi umboni.
A o na hana a Davida ke alii, na hana mua a me na hana hope, ua kakauia lakou iloko o ka mooolelo a Samuela ke kaula, a iloko o ka mooolelo a Natana ke kaula, a iloko o ka mooolelo a Gada ke kaula;
30 Kubalwa ukubusa kwakhe ngokugcweleyo, amandla lakho konke okwakusenzakala kuye lakwabako-Israyeli leminye imibuso yawo wonke amanye amazwe.
Me kona alii ana a pau a me kona ikaika, a me na manawa i hiki mai ia ia, a i ka Iseraela, a i na aupuni a pau o na aina.
