1 Amakhosi 5
1 Kwathi uHiramu inkosi yaseThire esizwa ukuthi uSolomoni ugcotshwe ukuba abe yinkosi athathe isihlalo sikayise, wathumela amanxusa akhe kuSolomoni njengoba wayevele ezwanana loDavida.
HOOUNA mai la o Hirama ke alii o Turo i kaua mau kauwa io Solomona la, no ka mea, ua lohe oia i ko lakou poni ana ia ia i alii ma ka hakahaka o kona makuakane; no ka mea, he hoaaloha mau o Hirama no Davida.
2 Yena uSolomoni waphendula uHiramu wathi:
Hoouna aku la hoi o Solomona io Hirama la, i aku la,
3 “Wena uyakwazi ukuthi ubaba uDavida kenelisanga ukwakhela iBizo likaThixo uNkulunkulu wakhe ithempeli ngenxa yezimpi ayezilwa inxa zonke, uThixo waze wamnqobela izitha zakhe.
Ua ike no oe i ko'u makuakane ia Davida aole i hiki ia ia ke kukulu i ka hale no ka inoa o Iehova kona Akua, no ua kaua e puni ana ia ia ma na aoao a pau, a hiki i ka manawa i waiho iho ai ke Akua ia lakou malalo ae o kona mau kapuwai
4 Kodwa khathesi uThixo uNkulunkulu wami ungiphe ukuthula inxa zonke, ngakho akulasitha loba umonakalo.
Aka, ano la, ua haawi mai nei Iehova ko'u Akua i ka maha a puni, i ole he mea ku e, aole hoi mea e popilikia ai.
5 Ngizimisele, ngenxa yalokho, ukwakha ithempeli leBizo likaThixo uNkulunkulu wami, njengoba watshela ubaba uDavida wathi, ‘Indodana yakho engizayibeka esihlalweni sakho sobukhosi izakwakhela iBizo lami ithempeli.’
Eia no hoi, ke manao nei au e kukulu i ka hale no ka inoa o Iehova ko'u Akua, mamuli o ka Iehova i olelo mai ai ia Davida ko'u makuakane, i ka i ana mai, O kau keiki au e hoonoho ai maluna o kou nohoalii ma kou wahi, oia ke hana mai i hale no ko'u inoa.
6 Khupha-ke iziqondiso zokuthi ngiganyulelwe izihlahla zomsedari waseLebhanoni. Amadoda avela kimi azasebenza kanye lawe, njalo amadoda avela kuwe ngizawaholisa leloholo ozalitsho wena. Uyakwazi ukuthi asilabo abawaziyo lowomsebenzi ngobuciko obungalingana lobamaSidoni.”
Ano hoi e kauoha ae oe e kalai lakou i mau laau kedera no'u, mai Lebanona mai; a o ka'u poe kauwa kekahi pu me kau poe kauwa; a e uku aku wau ia oe no kau poe kauwa e like me kau olelo a pau; no ka mea, ua ike oe, aohe mea iwaena o makou e akamai i ke kalai laau e like me ko Sidona.
7 UHiramu wathi esizwa ilizwi elivela kuSolomoni, wajabula kakhulu wathi, “Udumo kalube kuThixo lamuhla, ngoba unike uDavida indodana ehlakaniphileyo ezabusa lesisizwe esikhulu.”
Eia kekahi, i ka lohe ana o Hirama i na olelo a Solomona, olioli nui ae la ia, i iho la hoi ia, E hoomaikaiia o Iehova i keia la, ka mea i haawi mai ia Davida i keiki naauao maluna o keia lahuikanaka nui.
8 Ngakho uHiramu wathumela ilizwi kuSolomoni wathi: “Ngilitholile ilizwi ongithumele lona njalo ngizakwenza konke okuzakuzuzisa izigodo zesihlahla somsedari lesohlobo lwephayini.
Hoouna mai la o Hirama io Solomona la, i mai la, Ua noonoo ae nei au i na mea au i kauleo mai ai ia'u; a e hana no wau i kau mea e makemake ai a pau i na laau kedera a me na laau kaa.
9 Amadoda ngapha ngakimi azagamula ahudule izigodo azifikise elwandle evela eLebhanoni, ngibe sengizehlisa ngemikolo ngize ngiyezifikisa lapha ozakutsho khona. Kulapho engizazehlukanisa khona wena ube usuzithathela khonapho uhambe lazo. Wena uzagcwalisa isifiso sami ngokunginika isiqiniseko sokuthi uzanginika ukudla komdlunkulu wami ukuze ungawelwa yindlala.”
E lawe ae ka'u poe kauwa mai Lebanona ae a kahakai; a na'u no e alo aku ia mau mea ma ke kai, ma na huina laau lana, i kahi au i hoomaopopo mai ai, a e hoopae aku au ia lakou malaila, a e lawe ae oe; a e hooko ae i ko'u makemake i ka haawi ana mai i ka ai na ko ka hale o'u.
10 Ngalindlela uHiramu walethela uSolomoni izigodo zesihlahla somsedari kanye lesephayini ayezifuna,
Pela i haawi mai ai o Hirama i na laau kedera a me na laau kaa e like me kona makemake a pau.
11 kanti njalo yena uSolomoni wapha uHiramu ingqoloyi elingana amakhora azinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili yomndlunkulu, phezu kwamafutha acengekileyo edira angamatanka azinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili iminyaka leminyaka.
A haawi aku la o Solomona ia Hirama i na kora hua palaoa he iwakalua tausani i ai na ko kona hale, a me na kora aila maemae he iwakalua. Pela i haawi ai o Solomona ia Hirama i kela makahiki keia makahiki.
12 UThixo wapha uSolomoni ingqondo ekhaliphileyo njengokumethembisa kwakhe. Kwaba lokuthula ebudlelwaneni bukaHiramu loSolomoni, kwathi bobabili benza isibopho sokuhlalisana ngokuthula.
Haawi mai la hoi o Iehova i ka naauao ia Solomona e like me kana olelo hoopomaikai ia ia: a he kuikahi like ko Hirama me Solomona, a hana pu iho la laua i berita.
13 INkosi uSolomoni yabutha izibhalwa zokusebenza elizweni lonke lako-Israyeli, ezazizinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amathathu.
A auhau ae la o Solomona ke alii i ka Iseraela a pau, a o ka auhau he kanakolu tausani kanaka.
14 Wayezithumela eLebhanoni lezizibhalwa ngezigaba zabantu abazinkulungwane ezilitshumi izopha ngezopha ngenyanga, kuyikuthi lezizibhalwa zazisebenza eLebhanoni inyanga yonke zibe seziphumula ekhaya okwezinyanga ezimbili. U-Adonirami nguye owayephethe labo ababuthwa babayizibhalwa zomsebenzi.
Hoouna aku la oia ia lakou i Lebanona he umi tausani i ka malama, ma na papa; hookahi malama i noho ai lakou ma Lebanona, a elua malama i noho ai lakou ma ko lakou mau hale iho; a o Adonirama maluna o keia auhau.
15 USolomoni wayelabantu bokuthwala abazinkulungwane ezingamatshumi ayisikhombisa kanye lababebaza amatshe abazinkulungwane ezingamatshumi ayisificamunwemunye munye ezintabeni,
Ia Solomona he kanahiku tausani kanaka halihali i na mea hali, a he kanawalu tausani mea kalai ma na kuahiwi.
16 kanye lababekhangele abasebenzayo abangamakhulu amathathu lantathu lababebona ngokuqhubeka komsebenzi beqondisa izisebenzi.
Okoa na luna nui o ko Solomona mau luna, na mea maluna o ka hana, ekolu tausani me na haneri ekolu o na luna i hooponopono i na kanaka e hana ana i ka hana.
17 Ngeziqondiso zenkosi bakhupha inkalakatha zamatshe amahle ukuze kube lamatshe amahle okwakhisa ngawo isisekelo sethempeli esilohlonzi.
Kauoha mai la ke alii, a lawe mai la lakou i na pohaku nui, na pohaku he nui ke kumukuai, na pohaku kalaiia e hoonoho iho i ke kumu o ka hale.
18 Izingcitshi zokubaza zikaSolomoni lezikaHiramu lamaGebhali babaza balungisa izigodo lamatshe kusakhiwa ithempeli.
Na ko Solomona poe hanahale, a me ko Hirama poe hanahale i kalai, a me ko Gibela. Pela lakou i hoomakaukau ai i na laau a me na pohaku e hana'ku ai i ka hale.
