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.
Na ka tonoa e Hirama kingi o Taira ana tangata ki a Horomona; i rongo hoki kua oti ia te whakawahi hei kingi i muri i tona papa: he aroha mau tonu hoki to Hirama ki a Rawiri.
2 Yena uSolomoni waphendula uHiramu wathi:
A ka tono tangata a Horomona ki a Hirama hei ki atu,
3 “Wena uyakwazi ukuthi ubaba uDavida kenelisanga ukwakhela iBizo likaThixo uNkulunkulu wakhe ithempeli ngenxa yezimpi ayezilwa inxa zonke, uThixo waze wamnqobela izitha zakhe.
E mohio ana koe kihai i taea e toku papa, e Rawiri, te hanga whare mo te ingoa o Ihowa, o tona Atua, i nga whawhai hoki i tetahi taha ona, i tetahi taha, a taea noatia te hoatutanga o ratou e Ihowa ki raro i nga kapu o ona waewae.
4 Kodwa khathesi uThixo uNkulunkulu wami ungiphe ukuthula inxa zonke, ngakho akulasitha loba umonakalo.
Ko tenei, kua mea nei a Ihowa, toku Atua, kia okioki ahau i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha; kahore he hoari, kahore hoki he kino e pa mai ana.
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.’
Na, e mea ana tenei ahau kia hanga he whare mo te ingoa o Ihowa, o toku Atua, kia whakaritea te kupu a Ihowa ki toku papa, ki a Rawiri, tana i mea ai, Ko tau tama e hoatu e ahau i muri i a koe ki runga ki tou torona, mana e hanga te whare mo toku ingoa.
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.”
Tena ra, mau e whakahau kia tapahia mai he hita maku i Repanona; a ko aku tangata hei hoa mo au tangata; me hoatu ano e ahau ki a koe he utu mo au tangata, kia rite ki nga mea katoa e ki mai ai koe; e mohio ana hoki koe kahore o matou tangata hei rite mo nga Haironi te mohio ki te tapahi rakau.
7 UHiramu wathi esizwa ilizwi elivela kuSolomoni, wajabula kakhulu wathi, “Udumo kalube kuThixo lamuhla, ngoba unike uDavida indodana ehlakaniphileyo ezabusa lesisizwe esikhulu.”
A, i te rongonga o Hirama i nga kupu a Horomona, nui atu tona koa, a ka mea, Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa i tenei ra, nana nei i homai ki a Rawiri he tama mohio hei rangatira mo tenei iwi nui.
8 Ngakho uHiramu wathumela ilizwi kuSolomoni wathi: “Ngilitholile ilizwi ongithumele lona njalo ngizakwenza konke okuzakuzuzisa izigodo zesihlahla somsedari lesohlobo lwephayini.
Na ka tono tangata atu a Hirama ki a Horomona, hei mea, kua rongo atu ahau i te kupu i tukua mai nei e koe ki ahau: ka mahia katoatia e ahau tau e hiahia ana, ara nga rakau, te hita me te kauri.
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.”
Ma aku tangata e tari mai i Repanona ki te moana: a maku e whakatere atu i te moana ki te wahi e whakarite ai koe ki ahau, maku hoki e mea kia rukea ki uta ki reira, ka tiki mai ai e koe: a ka meatia e koe taku e hiahia ai, ki te homai he kai ma toku whare.
10 Ngalindlela uHiramu walethela uSolomoni izigodo zesihlahla somsedari kanye lesephayini ayezifuna,
Na ka homai e Hirama he hita, he kauri, ki a Horomona, ana rakau i hiahia ai.
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 hoatu ana e Horomona ki a Hirama he mehua witi e rua tekau mano hei kai ma tona whare, he mehua hinu e rua tekau, he mea tuki; ko ta Horomona tenei i hoatu ai ki a Hirama i tenei tau, i tenei tau.
12 UThixo wapha uSolomoni ingqondo ekhaliphileyo njengokumethembisa kwakhe. Kwaba lokuthula ebudlelwaneni bukaHiramu loSolomoni, kwathi bobabili benza isibopho sokuhlalisana ngokuthula.
A homai ana e Ihowa ki a Horomona he mohio, he pera me tana i korero ai ki a ia: a mau tonu te rongo i waenganui o Hirama raua ko Horomona; a i whakarite kawenata raua tokorua.
13 INkosi uSolomoni yabutha izibhalwa zokusebenza elizweni lonke lako-Israyeli, ezazizinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amathathu.
Na ka whakataka e Horomona etahi tangata i roto i a Iharaira katoa; e toru tekau mano tangata taua whakataka.
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.
A unga ana ratou e ia ki Repanona, tekau mano i te marama kotahi, he mea whakawhitiwhiti: kotahi to ratou marama i Repanona, e rua nga marama i te kainga: ko Aronirama hoki te rangatira o taua whakataka.
15 USolomoni wayelabantu bokuthwala abazinkulungwane ezingamatshumi ayisikhombisa kanye lababebaza amatshe abazinkulungwane ezingamatshumi ayisificamunwemunye munye ezintabeni,
Na e whitu tekau mano nga tangata a Horomona hei mau kawenga, e waru tekau mano hei tarai i runga i nga maunga;
16 kanye lababekhangele abasebenzayo abangamakhulu amathathu lantathu lababebona ngokuqhubeka komsebenzi beqondisa izisebenzi.
Haunga nga rangatira o nga kaitohutohu a Horomona i whakahau nei i te mahi, e toru mano e toru rau aua kaiwhakahau i nga kaimahi i te mahi.
17 Ngeziqondiso zenkosi bakhupha inkalakatha zamatshe amahle ukuze kube lamatshe amahle okwakhisa ngawo isisekelo sethempeli esilohlonzi.
Na ka whakahau te kingi, a ka haua e ratou he kohatu nunui, he kohatu utu nui, hei kohatu hahau mo te turanga o te whare.
18 Izingcitshi zokubaza zikaSolomoni lezikaHiramu lamaGebhali babaza balungisa izigodo lamatshe kusakhiwa ithempeli.
Na taraia ana e nga kaihanga a Horomona, e nga kaihanga a Hirama, e nga Kipiri, whakapaia ana e ratou nga rakau me nga kohatu hei hanga mo te whare.
