Nake Solomoni nĩathamakĩire mothamaki mothe kuuma Rũũĩ rwa Farati nginya bũrũri wa Afilisti, o nginya mũhaka-inĩ wa Misiri. Mabũrũri macio nĩmamũrehagĩra igooti na magĩtũũra maathagwo nĩ Solomoni matukũ make mothe.
22 Okwakufanele kudliwe esigodlweni sikaSolomoni nsuku zonke kwakubalisa ifulawa elicolekileyo elilingana amakhora angamatshumi amathathu lempuphu elingana amakhora angamatshumi ayisithupha,
Mahũthĩro ma Solomoni ma o mũthenya maarĩ maya: kori mĩrongo ĩtatũ cia mũtu ũrĩa mũhinyu mũno, na kori mĩrongo ĩtandatũ cia mũtu,
23 inkabi ezinonisiweyo ezilitshumi lenkomo ezingamatshumi amabili ezivela emadlelweni, izimvu lembuzi ezilikhulu ngaphandle kwempala lemiziki lempunzi lengalukhuni ezinonisiweyo.
ngʼombe ikũmi cia gũtuĩrwo, na ngʼombe mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ cia rũũru, na ngʼondu na mbũri igana rĩmwe, na thiiya, na thwariga, na thwara, o na nyoni iria noru cia mũciĩ iria irĩĩagwo.
24 Ngoba yena wabusa phezu kwemibuso entshonalanga koMfula, kusukela eThiphisa kusiya eGaza, njalo kwakulokuthula kuzozonke lezo zindawo.
Nĩgũkorwo nĩwe wathamakagĩra mothamaki mothe marĩa maarĩ ithũĩro rĩa Rũũĩ rwa Farati kuuma Tifisa nginya Gaza, na nĩ kwarĩ na thayũ mĩena yothe.

27 Izikhulu zesiqinti, sinye ngasinye ngenyanga yaso, kwakumele zizophisane ukulethela iNkosi uSolomoni ukudla lemfanelo yakhe lababezokwethekelela esikhosini. Izikhulu lezi zazinanzelela kakhulu ukuthi akukho lokukodwa okusilelayo esikhosini.
Nao anene a ngʼongo, o mũndũ mweri wake nĩarehagĩra Mũthamaki Solomoni mahũthĩro ma kũmũigana hamwe na arĩa othe mookaga metha-inĩ yake. Ningĩ magatigĩrĩra atĩ gũtirĩ kĩndũ o na kĩmwe kĩagaga.
28 Izikhulu zaziletha njalo isabelo sazo sengqoloyi lotshani bamabhiza ezinqola zempi lamanye amabhiza.
Ningĩ nĩmarehaga igeri ciao cia cairi na nyeki, cia kũrĩĩo nĩ mbarathi cia ita na mbarathi icio ingĩ handũ harĩa haagĩrĩire.
29 UNkulunkulu wanika uSolomoni ukuhlakanipha lombono womzwangedwa, lokuqedisisa okujule njengetshebetshebe lolwandle.
Ngai nĩaheire Solomoni ũũgĩ na ũmenyi mũingĩ mũno wa maũndũ, na ũtaũku waingĩhĩte ta mũthanga ũrĩ hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia iria.
30 Ulwazi lukaSolomoni lwalujule ukwedlula olwezazi zonke zaseMpumalanga, njalo lujule ukwedlula ulwazi lonke lwaseGibhithe.
Ũũgĩ wa Solomoni warĩ mũnene gũkĩra ũũgĩ wa andũ othe a mwena wa irathĩro, o na ũgakĩra ũũgĩ wothe wa andũ a Misiri.
31 Wayehlakaniphe ukwedlula wonke amadoda, kubalwa kanye lo-Ethani umʼEzira, ehlakaniphe ukwedlula uHemani, loKhalikholi loDada, amadodana kaMaholi. Njalo udumo lwakhe lwazwakala ezizweni zonke ezazakhelene laye.
Aarĩ mũũgĩ gũkĩra mũndũ ũngĩ o wothe, gwata Ethani ũrĩa Mũezara, na aarĩ mũũgĩ gũkĩra Hemani, na gũkĩra Kalikoli, na Darida, ariũ a Maholu. Ngumo yake ĩgĩtaamba kũrĩ ndũrĩrĩ iria ciothe ciathiũrũrũkĩirie kũu.
32 Wabumba izaga ezizinkulungwane ezintathu kanti njalo izingoma zakhe zaba yinkulungwane eyodwa lezinhlanu.
Nĩaathugundire thimo ngiri ithatũ, na nyĩmbo ciake ciarĩ ngiri ĩmwe na ithano.
33 Wachasisa wahaya izihlahla, kusukela isihlahla somsedari waseLebhanoni lomhisophi okhula emidulini. Wafundisa njalo langezinyamazana lezinyoni, langezinanakazana lenhlanzi.
Nĩataaragĩria ũhoro wa mũkũrĩre wa mĩmera, kuuma mũtarakwa wa Lebanoni o nginya mũthobi ũrĩa ũkũraga thingo-inĩ. Ningĩ nĩarutanaga ũhoro wa nyamũ na nyoni, na nyamũ iria itaambaga thĩ, na thamaki.
34 Amadoda ayequbuka evela emhlabeni wonke ukuthi azozizwela ukukhalipha kwengqondo kaSolomoni, wonke lamadoda amanye evela khonapho lamanye evela ezizweni, eza ukuzakuzwa lokhukuhlakanipha.
Andũ a ndũrĩrĩ ciothe nĩmookaga gũthikĩrĩria ũũgĩ wa Solomoni matũmĩtwo nĩ athamaki othe a thĩ, arĩa maiguĩte ũhoro wa ũũgĩ wake.
