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.
Naʻe pehē foki ʻe Tevita ko e tuʻi ki he fakataha kotoa pē, “ʻOku kei talavou mo vaivai pe ʻa Solomone ko hoku foha, ʻaia pe tokotaha kuo fili ʻe he ʻOtua, he ʻoku lahi ʻae ngāue: he ʻoku ʻikai mā ha tangata ʻae fale lahi, ka kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua.
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.
Pea ko eni kuo u fai tokonaki ʻeau ʻaki ʻa hoku mālohi kātoa, maʻae fale ʻo hoku ʻOtua, ʻae koula ki he meʻa koula, mo e siliva ki he meʻa siliva, mo e palasa ki he meʻa palasa, mo e ukamea ki he meʻa ukamea, mo e taʻanga ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻakau; mo e maka ko e ʻonike ke fonofono ʻaki, mo e ngaahi maka ngingila mo lanu kehekehe, mo e faʻahinga maka mahuʻinga kotoa pē, pea mo e maka hinehina, ko e meʻa lahi.
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:
Pea koeʻuhi foki kuo u tukupau ʻa ʻeku ʻofa ki he fale ʻa hoku ʻOtua, ko ia kuo u ʻatu mei heʻeku koloa totonu ʻaʻaku, ʻae koula mo e siliva, ʻaia kuo u ʻatu maʻae fale ʻo hoku ʻOtua, ko e fakalahi ʻataʻatā pe ki he meʻa kotoa pē ʻaia kuo u tokonaki ki he fale māʻoniʻoni,
4 ngamathalenta egolide azinkulungwane ezintathu egolide (igolide lase-Ofiri) lamathalenta esiliva esicengekileyo azinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa okokugudula ngalo imiduli yezindlu,
ʻIo, ʻae taleniti koula ʻe tolu afe, ʻoe koula mei Ofeli, mo e taleniti siliva maʻae fitu afe, ke ʻaofi ʻaki ʻae ngaahi holisi ʻoe fale:
5 okomsebenzi wegolide lokomsebenzi wesiliva lokwawo wonke umsebenzi ozakwenziwa yizingcitshi. Ngakho, ngubani ofuna ukuzinikela kuThixo lamuhla?”
Ko e koula ki he meʻa koula, mo e siliva ki he meʻa siliva, pea ki he ngaahi ngāue kehekehe ʻe fai ʻe he nima ʻoe kau tufunga. Pea ko hai ha taha ʻoku fie fakafonu hono nima ke ngāue kia Sihova he ʻaho ni?”
6 Abazinhloko zezindlu, izikhulu zezizwana zako-Israyeli, abalawuli bezinkulungwane labalawuli bamakhulu, lezikhulu ezazikhangele ngokuqhutshwa komsebenzi wenkosi bapha ngokuzinikela.
Pea naʻe toki ʻatu meʻa ʻi he fiefie fai ʻe he kau tuʻukimuʻa ʻi he kau mātuʻa mo e houʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi faʻahinga ʻo ʻIsileli, pea mo e ngaahi ʻeiki naʻe pule ki he ngaahi toko afe mo e ngaahi teau, pea mo kinautolu naʻe pule ki he ngāue ʻae tuʻi.
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.
Pea [naʻa nau ]foaki maʻae ngāue ʻi he fale ʻoe ʻOtua ko e koula, ko e taleniti ʻe nima afe, mo e konga kehe ʻe taha mano, pea ko e siliva ko e taleniti ʻe taha mano, pea mo e taleniti ʻe taha mano ma valu afe ʻoe palasa, pea mo e taleniti ʻe taha kilu ʻoe ukamea.
8 Loba ngubani owayelamatshe aligugu wawanikela endlini yenotho yethempeli likaThixo yona eyayiphethwe nguJehiyeli umGeshoni.
Pea ko kinautolu naʻe maʻu ʻae ngaahi maka mahuʻinga naʻa nau foaki ia ki he koloa ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova ʻi he nima ʻo Sehieli ko e tangata Kesoni.
9 Abantu baba lokujabula okukhulu bebona ukuzinikela kwabakhokheli babo, ngoba banikela kuThixo ngokukhululeka langezinhliziyo zabo zonke. UDavida inkosi laye wajabula kakhulu.
Pea naʻe toki fiefia ai ʻae kakai, koeʻuhi naʻa nau ʻatu ʻi he fiefie fai, pea ʻi he loto angatonu naʻa nau ʻatu loto lelei pe kia Sihova: pea naʻe fiefia foki ʻa Tevita ko e tuʻi ʻi he fiefia lahi.
10 UDavida wamdumisa uThixo phambi kwebandla lonke esithi: “Kawudunyiswe, Wena Thixo, Nkulunkulu ka-Israyeli ukhokho, kusukela nininini kuze kube nininini.
Ko ia naʻe fakafetaʻi ʻe Tevita kia Sihova ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fakataha kātoa: pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita, “Fakafetaʻi kiate koe, ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli ko ʻemau tamai, ke taʻengata pea taʻengata.
11 Bungobakho, Oh Thixo, ubukhulu lamandla lodumo lobukhosi lenkazimulo, ngoba konke okusezulwini lokusemhlabeni kungokwakho. Bungobakho, Oh Thixo, ubukhosi; uphakeme wena phezu konke.
ʻOku ʻoʻou, ʻE Sihova, ʻae māʻolunga, mo e mālohi, mo e nāunau, mo e ikuna, pea mo e māfimafi: he ʻoku [ʻoʻou ]ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi he langi pea mo e māmani: ʻoku ʻoʻou ʻae puleʻanga, ʻE Sihova, pea ʻoku hiki hake koe ko e ʻulu ki he meʻa kotoa pē.
12 Inotho lodumo kuvela kuwe; ungumbusi wazo zonke izinto. Esandleni sakho kukhona ukuqina lamandla. Kukuwe ukuphakamisa lokupha amandla kubo bonke.
ʻOku meiate koe ʻae koloa mo e ongoongolahi, pea ʻoku ke pule koe ki he meʻa kotoa pē; pea ʻoku ʻi ho nima ʻae mālohi mo e mafai; pea ʻoku ʻi ho nima ʻoʻou ʻae faʻa hakeakiʻi, mo e foaki ʻoe mālohi ki he meʻa kotoa pē.
13 Siyakubonga khathesi, Nkulunkulu wethu, silidumisa ibizo lakho elilodumo.
Ko ia foki, ʻa homau ʻOtua, ʻoku mau fakafetaʻi kiate koe, mo fakaongoongolelei ʻa ho huafa nāunauʻia.
14 Kodwa mina ngiyini, bayini abantu bami, ukuthi sinikele ngenhliziyo yonke na? Konke kuvela kuwe, thina sikunike kuphela lokho okuvela esandleni sakho.
Ka ko hai au, pea ko hai ʻa hoku kakai, ke pehē ke mau faʻa ʻatu meʻa pehē ni ʻi he fiefie fai? He ʻoku meiate koe ʻae meʻa kotoa pē, pea kuo mau ʻatu pe kiate koe mei he meʻa ʻoku ʻoʻou.
15 Singabezizweni lezethekeli emehlweni akho, njengoba labokhokho bethu bonke babenjalo. Insuku zethu emhlabeni ziyafanana lesithunzi, asisilutho, kalikho ithemba.
He ko e kau muli ʻakimautolu ʻi ho ʻao, mo e kau ʻāunofo, ʻo hangē ko ʻemau ngaahi tamai kotoa pē: ʻoku tatau mo e ata ʻa homau ngaahi ʻaho ʻi he māmani, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha nofo maʻu.
16 Oh Thixo Nkulunkulu wethu, lokhu esesikunikele ngobunengi bakho ekwakhiweni kwethempeli eliyindawo yeBizo lakho eliNgcwele, kuvela esandleni sakho, njalo konke kuvele kungokwakho.
ʻE Sihova ko homau ʻOtua, ko e koloa kotoa pē kuo mau tokonaki ke langa ʻaki ha fale kiate koe maʻa ho huafa māʻoniʻoni, ʻoku mei ho nima ʻoʻou, pea ʻoku ʻoʻou kotoa pē.
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.
ʻOku ou ʻilo foki, ʻe hoku ʻOtua, ʻoku ke ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻe koe ʻae loto, pea ʻoku ke finangalo lelei ki he angatotonu. Ka ko au, ʻi he angatonu ʻo hoku loto kuo u ʻatu fiefie fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē: pea kuo u mamata fiefia ʻeni ki hoʻo kakai, ʻa ʻeni kuo fakataha ni, mo ʻenau ʻatu meʻa kiate koe ʻi he fiefie fai.
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.
ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻEpalahame, mo ʻAisake, pea mo ʻIsileli, ko ʻemau ngaahi tamai, ke ke tuku maʻu eni ki he filioʻi mo e fakakaukau ʻoe loto ʻo hoʻo kakai ke taʻengata, pea ke teuteu ʻa honau loto kiate koe:
19 Phana uSolomoni, indodana yami, inhliziyo epheleleyo ukuze agcine imilayo yakho lemithetho yakho lezimiso zakho, lokuthi akhe lesisakhiwo esiyisigodlo mina esengisilungiselele.”
Pea ke foaki kia Solomone ko hoku foha ha loto haohaoa, ke ne tokanga ki hoʻo ngaahi fekau, mo hoʻo ngaahi fakamoʻoni, mo hoʻo ngaahi fono, pea ke fai ia kotoa pē, pea ke langa ʻae fale lahi ʻaia kuo u fai tokonaki ki 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.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita ki he fakataha kātoa, “Ko eni mou fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ko homou ʻOtua.” Pea naʻe fakafetaʻi ʻe he fakataha kātoa kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai, pea naʻe punou hifo honau ʻulu, mo nau hū kia Sihova, pea mo e tuʻi.
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.
Pea naʻa nau ʻatu ʻae ngaahi feilaulau kia Sihova, mo nau ʻatu ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu kia Sihova, ʻi he ʻaho naʻe feholoi mo e ʻaho ko ia, ʻio, ko e fanga pulu ʻe taha afe, mo e fanga sipitangata ʻe taha afe, mo e fanga lami ʻe taha afe, fakataha mo ʻenau ngaahi feilaulau meʻainu, pea mo e ngaahi feilaulau lahi ʻaupito maʻa ʻIsileli kātoa:
22 Badla banatha ngokujabula okukhulu ngalolosuku phambi kukaThixo. Basebememukela okwesibili uSolomoni indodana kaDavida, bamgcoba phambi kukaThixo ukuthi abe ngumbusi, kuthi uZadokhi abe ngumphristi.
Pea naʻa nau kai mo inu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻi he fiefia lahi. Pea naʻa nau fakanofo ʻa Solomone ko e foha ʻo Tevita ke tuʻi ko hono liunga ua, mo nau pani ia ʻaki ʻae lolo kia Sihova ke hoko ko e pule lahi, pea ke taulaʻeiki ʻa Satoki.
23 USolomoni wasebusa embusweni kaThixo esikhundleni sikayise uDavida. Waphumelela njalo wonke u-Israyeli wamlalela.
Pea naʻe toki nofo ʻa Solomone ki he nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻo Sihova ko e tuʻi ko e fetongi ʻo ʻene tamai ko Tevita, pea naʻa ne monūʻia; pea naʻe talangofua ʻa ʻIsileli kātoa kiate ia.
24 Izikhulu zonke kanye lamaqhawe, ndawonye lamadodana eNkosi uDavida bazinikela ngaphansi kombuso weNkosi uSolomoni.
Pea naʻe anganofo kia Solomone ko e tuʻi ʻae houʻeiki kotoa pē, mo e kau tangata mālohi, pea mo e ngaahi foha kotoa pē foki ʻoe tuʻi ko Tevita.
25 UThixo wamphakamisa kakhulu uSolomoni wamnika isithunzi phezu kwabo bonke abako-Israyeli, njalo wamnika ubukhosi obungazange bube khona esikhosini kwabako-Israyeli.
Pea naʻe fakahikihiki lahi ʻaupito ʻa Solomone ʻe Sihova ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻIsileli kātoa, pea ne tuku kiate ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakatuʻi naʻe teʻeki ke tuku ki ha tuʻi naʻe muʻa ʻiate ia ʻi ʻIsileli.
26 UDavida indodana kaJese wayeyinkosi yabo bonke abako-Israyeli.
Naʻe pehē ʻae pule ʻa Tevita ko e foha ʻo Sese ki ʻIsileli kātoa.
27 Wabusa kwabako-Israyeli iminyaka engamatshumi amane, eyisikhombisa eHebhroni kwathi engamatshumi amathathu lantathu eJerusalema.
Pea ko e kuonga naʻa ne pule ai ki ʻIsileli, ko e taʻu ʻe fāngofulu; naʻa ne pule ʻi Hepeloni ʻi he taʻu ʻe fitu, pea naʻa ne pule ʻi Selūsalema ʻi he taʻu ʻe tolungofulu ma tolu.
28 Wafa eseluphele eseleminyaka eminengi kakhulu lenotho lodumo; uSolomoni indodana yakhe waba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.
Pea naʻa ne pekia ʻi heʻene hoko ʻo motuʻa lelei, kuo lahi hono ʻaho, mo ne koloaʻia, mo ongoongolelei: pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe hono foha ko Solomone.
29 Izehlakalo zombuso weNkosi uDavida kusukela ekuqaleni kuze kube sekupheleni, zilotshiwe egwalweni lwembali kaSamuyeli umboni, egwalweni lwembali kaNathani umphrofethi kanye lasegwalweni lwembali kaGadi umboni.
Pea ko eni ko e ngaahi ngāue ʻa Tevita, mei he kamataʻanga ʻo aʻu ki mui, vakai, kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi ʻa Samuela ko e tangata kikite, pea ʻi he tohi ʻa Natani ko e palōfita, pea ʻi he tohi ʻa Kata ko e tangata kikite,
30 Kubalwa ukubusa kwakhe ngokugcweleyo, amandla lakho konke okwakusenzakala kuye lakwabako-Israyeli leminye imibuso yawo wonke amanye amazwe.
ʻA ʻene pule kotoa pē, mo ʻene mālohi, mo e ngaahi meʻa naʻe fai kiate ia ʻi hono kuonga, pea ki ʻIsileli foki, pea ki he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻoe ngaahi fonua.
