1 Amakhosi 8
1 Ngakho iNkosi uSolomoni wamema abadala bako-Israyeli ukuthi beze kuye eJerusalema, bonke abazinhloko zezizwana lezinduna zezimuli zako-Israyeli, ukuthi balethe ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaThixo lisuka eZiyoni, uMuzi kaDavida.
Hili ia naʻe fakataha ʻe Solomone ʻae kau mātuʻa ʻo ʻIsileli, pea mo e houʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi faʻahinga, ko e ngaahi ʻeiki ʻi he kau mātuʻa ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ki he tuʻi ko Solomone ʻi Selūsalema, koeʻuhi kenau ʻohake ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻa Sihova mei he Kolo ʻo Tevita, ʻaia ko Saione.
2 Amadoda wonke ako-Israyeli eza ndawonye enkosini uSolomoni ngesikhathi somkhosi ngenyanga ebizwa ngokuthi ngu-Ethanimi, inyanga yesikhombisa.
Pea naʻe fakataha ʻakinautolu ʻe he kakai tangata kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli ki he tuʻi ko Solomone, ʻi he fai ʻoe kātoanga ʻi he māhina ko Itanime, ʻaia ko hono fitu ia ʻoe māhina.
3 Kwathi bonke abadala bako-Israyeli sebefikile, abaphristi bathwala ibhokisi lesivumelwano,
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae kau mātuʻa kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli pea naʻe hiki hake ʻae puha tapu ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki.
4 njalo basebeletha ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaThixo kanye leThente lokuHlanganela layo yonke imiceciso engcwele iphakathi kwalo. Abaphristi labaLevi bakuthwala lokhu,
Pea naʻa nau ʻo hake ʻae puha tapu ʻa Sihova, pea mo e fale fehikitaki ʻoe fakatahaʻanga, pea mo e ngaahi nāunau tapu ʻaia naʻe ʻi he fale fehikitaki, ʻio, naʻe ʻomi ia ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki pea mo e kau Livai.
5 njalo inkosi uSolomoni kanye lebandla lonke lako-Israyeli babebuthene ndawonye phambi kwebhokisi lesivumelwano, benikela ngezimvu langenkomo ababengeke bakwazi ukuloba inani lazo loba ukuzibala.
Pea ko e tuʻi ko Solomone, pea mo e fakataha kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻaia naʻe fakataha kiate ia, naʻa nau tutuʻu mo ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe puha tapu ke feilaulauʻaki ʻae fanga sipi mo e fanga pulu, naʻe ʻikai faʻa ʻilo pe lau hono fiha, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene lahi ʻaupito.
6 Abaphristi basebeletha ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaThixo endaweni yalo engcwele engaphakathi kwethempeli, iNdawo eNgcwelengcwele, basebelifaka ngaphansi kwamaphiko amakherubhi.
Pea naʻe ʻomi, ki hono potu ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻa Sihova ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki, ki he folofolaʻanga ʻi he fale, ʻio, ki he potu toputapu ʻaupito, ki he lalo kapakau ʻoe selupimi.
7 Amakherubhi elula impiko zawo phezu kwendawo yebhokisi lesivumelwano njalo agubuzela ibhokisi lesivumelwano kanye lezibambo zokulithwala.
He naʻe malofa atu ʻae kapakau ʻe ua ʻoe selupimi ʻi he potu ki ʻolunga ʻi he puha tapu, pea naʻe maluʻi ʻae puha tapu pea mo hono ongo haʻamo ʻe he selupimi mei ʻolunga.
8 Izigodo lezi zazizinde zibonakala nxa useNdaweni eNgcwele phambi kwesiphephelo esingaphakathi, kodwa hatshi nxa ungaphandle kweNdawo eNgcwele; lezo zilokhu zimi njalo lalamuhla.
Pea naʻa nau fakaʻamoʻamo mai ʻae ongo haʻamo, koeʻuhi ke ha atu ʻae mui haʻamo ʻi he potutapu ki muʻa ʻi he folofolaʻanga, pea naʻe ʻikai hā atu ia ki tuʻa: pea ʻoku kei ʻi ai ni ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻaho ni.
9 Kwakungelalutho ebhokisini lesivumelwano ngaphandle kwezibhebhedu ezimbili zamatshe uMosi ayezifake phakathi kwalo eseHorebhi lapho uThixo enza khona isivumelwano labako-Israyeli ngemva kokuphuma kwabo eGibhithe.
Naʻe ʻikai ha meʻa ʻi he puha tapu ka ko e ongo maka lafalafa, ʻaia naʻe ʻai ki ai ʻe Mōsese ʻi Holepi, ko e potu naʻe fai ai ʻe Sihova ʻae fuakava mo e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, hili ʻenau hao mai mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite.
10 Kwathi abaphristi sebesukile eNdaweni eNgcwele, iyezi lagcwala lagubuzela ethempelini likaThixo.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene hū mai ʻae kau taulaʻeiki kituʻa mei he potutapu, naʻe fakafonu ʻae fale ʻo Sihova ʻaki ʻae ʻao.
11 Abaphristi abenzanga inkonzo yabo ngenxa yeyezi, ngoba inkazimulo kaThixo yayigcwele ethempelini lakhe.
Ko ia naʻe ʻikai faʻa tuʻu ai ʻae kau taulaʻeiki ke fai ʻenau tauhi, koeʻuhi ko e ʻao: he naʻe fakafonu ʻae fale ʻo Sihova ʻaki ʻae nāunau ʻo Sihova.
12 Ngakho uSolomoni wathi, “UThixo utshilo ukuba uzahlala eyezini elimnyama;
Pea naʻe toki lea ʻa Solomone, “Naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova te ne nofo ʻi he poʻuli matolu.
13 ngempela sengikwakhele ithempeli elibukekayo, indawo ozahlala kiyo kuze kube nini lanini.”
Kuo u langa moʻoni ha fale kiate koe ke ke ʻafio ki ai, ko e potu tuʻumaʻu ke ke ʻafio ki ai ʻo taʻengata.”
14 Kwathi ibandla lonke lako-Israyeli lisemi khonapho, inkosi yaphenduka yalibusisa.
Pea naʻe fakahanga mai ʻe he tuʻi ʻa hono fofonga ʻo ne tāpuaki ʻae fakataha kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli: (pea naʻe tutuʻu ki ʻolunga, ʻae fakataha kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli; )
15 Ngakho yasisithi: “Udumo kuye uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, yena ngesandla sakhe ophelelise ukwenza lokho akuthembisa ngowakhe umlomo ethembisa ubaba uDavida. Ngoba wathi,
Pea naʻa ne pehē, “Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli ʻaia naʻe folofola mei hono fofonga ki heʻeku tamai ko Tevita, pea kuo ne fakamoʻoni ia ʻaki ʻa hono nima, ʻi heʻene folofola ni,
16 ‘Kusukela mhla ngikhupha abantu bami abako-Israyeli eGibhithe, bengingakaze ngikhethe idolobho loba kukusiphi isizwana sako-Israyeli ukuthi ngakhelwe ithempeli leBizo lami khona, kodwa ngimkhethile uDavida ukuthi abuse abantu bami bako-Israyeli.’
‘Talu mei he ʻaho naʻaku ʻomi ai ʻa hoku kakai ko ʻIsileli mei ʻIsipite, naʻe ʻikai te u fili ha kolo mei he faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli ke langa ai ha fale, koeʻuhi ke tuku ki ai ʻa hoku huafa; ka naʻaku fili ʻa Tevita ke ne pule ki heʻeku kakai ko ʻIsileli.’
17 Ubaba uDavida wayelakho enhliziyweni yakhe ukuthi akhe ithempeli leBizo likaThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli.
Pea naʻe ʻi he loto ʻo ʻeku tamai ko Tevita ke ne langa ha fale ki he huafa ʻo Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli.
18 Kodwa uThixo wathi kubaba uDavida, ‘Wenza kuhle ngokuba lesifiso sokungakhela ithempeli leBizo lami enhliziyweni yakho.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia Tevita ko ʻeku tamai, ‘Koeʻuhiā naʻe ʻi ho loto ia ke ke langa ha fale ki hoku huafa, naʻe lelei koe ʻi hoʻo loto ke fai ia.
19 Lanxa kunjalo, kakusuwe ozalakha lelothempeli, kodwa lizakwakhiwa yindodana yakho, eyinyama legazi lakho, yiyo ezakwakha ithempeli leBizo lami.’
Ka neongo ia ʻe ʻikai te ke langa ʻae fale; ka ko ho foha ʻaia ʻe tupu mei ho fatu, ʻe langa ʻe ia ʻae fale ki hoku huafa.’
20 UThixo usigcinile isithembiso asenzayo: Sengiyinkosi esikhundleni sikababa uDavida njalo khathesi sengihlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi sika-Israyeli njengokuthembisa kukaThixo, njalo sengakhele iBizo likaThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli ithempeli.
Pea kuo fakamoʻoni ʻe Sihova ʻa ʻene folofola ʻaia naʻa ne folofolaʻaki, pea kuo u tuʻu hake au ʻi he potu ʻo ʻeku tamai ko Tevita, pea ʻoku ou nofo ki he nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo tatau mo e talaʻofa ʻa Sihova, pea kuo u langa ha fale ki he huafa ʻo Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli.
21 Ngilungisile indawo khonaphana eyebhokisi lesivumelwano, kulapho okulesivumelwano sikaThixo asenza labokhokho ekubakhupheni kwakhe kwelamaGibhithe.”
Pea kuo u vaheʻi ʻi ai ha potu ki he puha tapu, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae fuakava ʻa Sihova ʻaia naʻa ne fai mo ʻetau ngaahi tamai, ʻi heʻene ʻomi kinautolu mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite.”
22 Ngalokho uSolomoni wema e-alithareni likaThixo phambi kwebandla lonke lako-Israyeli, welula izandla zakhe waziphakamisela ezulwini
Pea naʻe tuʻu ʻa Solomone ʻi he ʻao ʻoe feilaulauʻanga ʻo Sihova ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fakataha kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, pea naʻa ne mafao atu ʻa hono nima ki langi:
23 wasesithi: Oh “Thixo, Nkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, kakho uNkulunkulu onjengawe ezulwini phezulu loba emhlabeni ngaphansi, wena ogcina isivumelwano sakho sothando lezinceku zakho, wena oqhubeka ngenhliziyo yonke endleleni yakho.
Pea naʻa ne pehē, “ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻoku ʻikai ha ʻotua ke hangē ko koe, ʻi he langi ʻi ʻolunga, pe ʻi he maama ki lalo ni, ʻa koe ʻoku ke tauhi ʻae fuakava mo e ʻaloʻofa ki hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ʻoku ʻeveʻeva ʻi ho ʻao ʻaki ʻa honau loto kotoa:
24 Usigcinile isithembiso sakho encekwini yakho uDavida ongubaba; ngomlomo wakho uthembisile njalo ngesandla sakho ukugcwalisile lokho njengoba kunjalo lamuhla.
ʻA koe kuo ke fai ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ko Tevita ko ʻeku tamai ʻaia naʻa ke talaʻofa ʻaki kiate ia: naʻa ke folofolaʻaki ia mei ho fofonga, pea kuo ke fakahoko ia ʻaki ho nima, ʻo hangē ko ia he ʻaho ni.
25 Khathesi Thixo, Nkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, gcinela inceku yakho uDavida ubaba lezozithembiso owazenzayo lapho wathi, ‘Awuyikwehluleka loba sekutheni ukuzuza indoda ezahlala esihlalweni sami sobukhosi ko-Israyeli, nxa amadodana akho ezananzelela ukuhamba phambi kwami njengalokhu okwenzileyo wena.’
Ko ia foki, ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, fai ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ko Tevita ko ʻeku tamai ʻaia naʻa ke talaʻofa ʻaki, ʻo pehē, ʻE ʻikai te ke masiva ʻi ha tangata ʻi hoku ʻao ke nofo ki he nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli; ʻo kapau ʻe tokanga ʻa hoʻo fānau ki honau ʻaluʻanga, ke nau ʻeveʻeva ʻi hoku ʻao ʻo hangē ko hoʻo ʻeveʻeva ʻaʻau ʻi hoku ʻao.
26 Ngakho khathesi, Nkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, kaligcwaliseke ilizwi lesithembiso owalikhuluma kubaba uDavida inceku yakho.
Pea ko eni, ʻE ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, tuku ke fakamoʻoni ʻa hoʻo folofola, ʻaia naʻa ke folofolaʻaki ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ko Tevita ko ʻeku tamai.
27 Kambe uNkulunkulu uzahlala emhlabeni na? Amazulu, kanye lezulu eliphakemeyo, alikulingani. Pho ithempeli leli engilakhileyo lingabe liyini kuwe na!
Ka ʻe nofo moʻoni ʻae ʻOtua ki he māmani? Vakai, ko e langi mo e loto langi ki ʻolunga ʻaupito, ʻoku ʻikai te ke faʻa hao ai; kae huanoa ʻae fale ni ʻaia kuo u langa?
28 Kodwa-ke akuzwe umkhuleko wenceku yakho lokucela kwayo umusa, Oh Thixo Nkulunkulu wami. Zwana ukukhala lokukhuleka kwenceku yakho phambi kwakho ngalolusuku.
Ka neongo ia ke ke ʻafio lelei ki he lotu ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, pea ki heʻene fakakolekole, ʻE Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua, koeʻuhi ke ke ongoʻi ʻae tangi pea mo e lotu, ʻaia ʻoku lotu ʻaki ʻe hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ʻi ho ʻao he ʻaho ni:
29 Sengathi amehlo akho angahlala phezu kwalelithempeli ebusuku lemini, yonale indawo owathi wena, ‘IBizo lami lizakuba khonapha,’ ukuze uzwe umkhuleko wenceku yakho ngale indawo.
Koeʻuhi ke ʻafio ʻa ho fofonga ki he fale ni ʻi he pō mo e ʻaho, ʻio, ki he potu ʻaia kuo ke folofola ai ʻo pehē, ʻE ʻi ai ʻa hoku huafa: koeʻuhi ke ke fanongo ki he lotu ʻaia ʻe fai ʻe hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ʻi he potu ni.
30 Zwana isikhalazo senceku yakho lesabantu bakho bako-Israyeli nxa bekhuleka bekhangele kule indawo. Zwana usezulwini okuyindawo yakho yokuhlala, njalo nxa usizwa, uthethelele.
Pea ke fakafanongo ki he fakakolekole ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, pea mo hoʻo kakai ʻIsileli, ʻoka nau ka lotu ʻi he potu ni: pea ke fanongo, ke ke fakamolemole.
31 Nxa umuntu angonela umakhelwane wakhe, afungiswe, abesefunga isifungo phambi kwe-alithari lakho kulelithempeli,
“Kapau ʻe fai ha kovi ʻe ha tangata ki hono kaungāʻapi, pea ʻoku ne fai ke ne fuakava, pea ʻoku ʻomi ʻae fuakava ki he ʻao ʻo hoʻo feilaulauʻanga ʻi he fale ni:
32 zwana usezulwini wenze. Yahlulela phakathi kwezinceku zakho, umlahle olecala, wehlisele ekhanda lakhe lokho akwenzileyo. Tshono ukuthi ongonanga kalacala ukuze uveze ukuba msulwa kwakhe.
Ke ke toki fanongo ʻe koe ʻi he langi, pea ke ngāue, mo fakamaauʻi ʻa hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻi he totongi ki he angakovi, ke ʻomi ki hono ʻulu ʻa hono nunuʻa; pea ke fakatonuhiaʻi ʻae māʻoniʻoni, ʻi he ʻatu kiate ia ʻo tatau mo ʻene angatonu.
33 Nxa abantu bakho abako-Israyeli behlulwe yisitha ngenxa yokona kwabo phambi kwakho, kuthi nxa sebephendukela ngakuwe bebiza ibizo lakho, bekhuleka njalo becela intethelelo kuwe kulelithempeli,
“ʻOka teʻia hifo ʻa hoʻo kakai ʻIsileli ʻi he ʻao ʻo honau ngaahi fili, koeʻuhi ko ʻenau fai ha kovi kiate koe, ka kuo nau toe tafoki mai kiate koe, pea nau tāpafua ʻa ho huafa, mo hū, pea fai fakakolekole kiate koe ʻi he fale ni:
34 lapho-ke zwana usezulwini uthethelele izono zabantu bakho bako-Israyeli njalo ubabuyisele elizweni owalinika okhokho babo.
Ke ke toki fanongo ʻe koe ʻi he langi, pea fakamolemole ʻae angahala ʻa hoʻo kakai ʻIsileli, pea ke toe ʻomi kinautolu ki he fonua ʻaia naʻa ke foaki ki heʻenau ngaahi tamai.
35 Nxa amazulu evaleka njalo kungaselazulu ngenxa yokuthi abantu bakho bonile phambi kwakho, njalo nxa bekhuleka bekhangele kule indawo bavume ibizo lakho batshiye izono zabo ngoba ubatshayile,
“ʻOka tāpuni ʻae langi, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha ʻuha ʻe tō, koeʻuhi ko ʻenau fai angahala kiate koe; pea kapau te nau lotu ʻi he potu ni, pea tāpafua ʻa ho huafa, pea nau liliu mei heʻenau angahala, ʻoka ke ka fakamamahi ʻakinautolu:
36 lapho-ke zwana usezulwini uthethelele izinceku zakho izono zazo, abantu bakho bako-Israyeli. Bafundise indlela yokuphila eqondileyo, uthumele izulu elizweni owalinika abantu bakho ukuba libe yilifa labo.
Ke ke toki fanongo ʻe koe ʻi he langi, pea fakamolemole ʻae angahala ʻa hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki, pea mo hoʻo kakai ʻIsileli koeʻuhi ke ke akoʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he hala lelei ʻaia ʻoku totonu ke nau ʻalu ai, pea ke foaki ʻae ʻuha ki ho fonua ʻaia kuo ke foaki ki hoʻo kakai ko honau tofiʻa.
37 Nxa kufika indlala kumbe isifo elizweni, ukukhunta lengumane, isikhongwane lemihogoyi, loba behanqwa yizitha kwelinye lamadolobho abo, loba yincithakalo enganani loba ngumkhuhlane onjani ongeza,
“Kapau ʻe ai ha honge ʻi he fonua, pe ha mahaki fakaʻauha, pea ko e huhunu lahi ʻoe ngoue, pe ko e fakapopo, pe ko e heʻe maumau, pe ko e ʻunufe; kapau ʻe nofo takatakai ʻiate kinautolu ʻa honau ngaahi fili ʻi he fonua ʻo ʻenau ngaahi veʻe kolo; pe ko e hā ʻae fakaʻauha pe ko e mahaki ʻe ʻi ai;
38 kuthi lanxa kusenziwa umkhuleko kumbe isicelo ngomunye wabantu bakho bako-Israyeli, ngulowo lalowo ezazela inhlupheko ezinhliziyweni yakhe njalo ephakamisele izandla zakhe kulelithempeli,
ʻIlonga ʻae lotu mo e kole ʻe fai ʻe ha tangata ʻe tokotaha, pe ʻe he kakai kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻi heʻene ʻilo taki taha ʻe he tangata ʻae kovi ʻo hono loto ʻoʻona, pea ne mafao mai ʻa hono nima ki he fale ni:
39 lalela usezulwini, okuyindawo yakho yokuhlala. Thethelela njalo wenzele umuntu munye ngamunye okuhambelana lezenzo zakhe ngoba wena uyazazi inhliziyo zabo (futhi nguwe wedwa owazi inhliziyo zabantu),
Ke ke toki fanongo ʻe koe ʻi he langi ko ho ʻafioʻanga, pea fakamolemole, pea ke ngāue, mo foaki ki he tangata taki taha ʻo fakatatau ki heʻene anga, ʻaia ʻoku ke ʻafioʻi ʻa hono loto; (he ko koe, ʻio, ko koe pe tokotaha, ʻoku ke ʻilo ʻae loto ʻoe fānau kotoa pē ʻae tangata; )
40 yikho bezakwesaba imihla yabo yonke yokuphila beselizweni owalinika okhokho bethu.
Koeʻuhi ke nau manavahē kiate koe ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē te nau moʻui ai ʻi he fonua ʻaia kuo ke foaki ki heʻemau ngaahi tamai.
41 Owezizweni ongasuye omunye wabantu bakho bako-Israyeli kodwa evela kude ngenxa yodumo lwebizo lakho
Pea koeʻuhi foki ko e muli, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ʻo hoʻo kakai ʻIsileli, ka kuo haʻu mei ha fonua mamaʻo koeʻuhi ko ho huafa ʻoʻou;
42 ngoba abantu bazakuzwa ngelakho ibizo eliqakathekileyo lesandla sakho esilamandla lengalo yakho eyeluliweyo, nxa esiza akhuleke ekhangele kulelithempeli,
(He te nau fanongo ki he ongoongo ʻo ho huafa lahi, pea mo ho nima mālohi, pea mo ho nima kuo mafao atu; ) ʻoka haʻu ia ke lotu ʻi he fale ni;
43 lapho-ke zwana usezulwini, indawo elilikhaya lakho, wenze loba yini owezizweni ayicela kuwe, ukuze bonke abantu bomhlaba balazi ibizo lakho njalo bakwesabe, njengoba abantu bakho abako-Israyeli bekwenza, baze bazi ukuthi indlu le engiyakhileyo ithwele iBizo lakho.
Ke ke fanongo ʻe koe ʻi he langi ko ho ʻafioʻanga, pea ke fai ʻo fakatatau mo e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku kole ai ʻe he muli kiate koe: koeʻuhi ke ʻilo ʻe he kakai kotoa pē ʻo māmani ki ho huafa, ke[nau ]manavahē kiate koe, ʻo hangē ko hoʻo kakai ʻIsileli; pea koeʻuhi ke nau ʻilo ʻoku ui ʻaki ʻa ho huafa ʻae fale ni ʻaia kuo u langa.
44 Nxa abantu bakho bephuma besiya empini ukuyakulwa lezitha zabo, loba kungaphi obathuma khona, njalo kuthi nxa bekhuleka kuThixo bekhangele edolobheni olikhethileyo wena kanye lethempelini engalakhela iBizo lakho,
“Kapau ʻe ʻalu ʻa hoʻo kakai kituʻa ke tauʻi ʻa honau ngaahi fili, pe ko e hā ʻae potu ko ia te ke fekau atu kinautolu ki ai, pea nau lotu kia Sihova ʻo hanga ki he kolo ʻaia kuo ke fili, pea ki he fale ʻaia kuo u langa ki ho huafa:
45 lapho-ke zwana usezulwini umkhuleko wabo lokuncenga kwabo, ubaphathise kulokho.
Ke ke toki fanongo ʻe koe ʻi he langi ki heʻenau lotu mo ʻenau kole, pea ke tokonia ʻakinautolu ʻi he meʻa totonu.
46 Nxa bonile phambi kwakho, ngoba kakho ongoniyo njalo uze ubathukuthelele ubanikele ezitheni zabo ezibathumba zibase ezizweni zazo, ezikhatshana leziseduze;
Kapau te nau angahala kiate koe, (he ʻoku ʻikai ha tangata ʻoku taʻehaangahala, ) pea te ke houhau kiate kinautolu, mo ke tukuange ʻakinautolu ki he fili, koeʻuhi ke nau fetuku ʻakinautolu ko e kau pōpula ki he fonua ʻoe fili, pe ko e mamaʻo pe ko e ofi;
47 kuthi nxa bengaguquka ezinhliziyweni zabo besemazweni abayabe bethunjelwe kuwo, baphenduke bakuncenge besemazweni abathunjelwa khona bathi, ‘Sonile, senza okungalunganga lokubi,’
Pea kapau te nau toe fakatokangaʻi honau loto ʻi he fonua ko ia kuo ʻave pōpula ki ai kinautolu, mo[nau ]fakatomala, mo fakakolekole kiate koe mei he fonua ʻokinautolu naʻe ʻave pōpula kinautolu, ʻonau pehē, Kuo mau angahala, pea kuo mau fai talangataʻa, kuo mau fai ʻae kovi;
48 njalo nxa bephendukela kuwe ngezinhliziyo zabo zonke langemiphefumulo yabo elizweni lezitha zabo ezabathumbayo, bakhuleke kuwe bekhangele elizweni owalinika oyise, lasedolobheni owalikhethayo lethempeli engilakhele iBizo lakho,
Pea pehē ʻenau tafoki mai kiate koe ʻaki ʻa honau loto kātoa, pea mo honau laumālie kotoa, ʻi he fonua ʻo honau ngaahi fili, ʻaia naʻe ʻave pōpula kinautolu, pea nau lotu kiate koe ʻo hanga ki honau fonua, ʻaia naʻa ke foaki ki heʻenau ngaahi tamai, ʻae kolo ko ia, kuo ke fili, pea mo e fale ʻaia kuo u langa ki ho huafa:
49 ngakho usezulwini, ikhaya lakho zwana imikhuleko yabo lokuncenga kwabo, ubenzele khona lokho.
Ke ke toki fanongo ʻe koe ʻi he langi ko ho ʻafioʻanga ki heʻenau lotu mo ʻenau kole, pea ke tokonia kinautolu ʻi he meʻa totonu,
50 Ubathethelele abantu bakho, abakonileyo wena, bathethelele kukho konke ukona kwabo kuwe, wenze izitha zabo zibe lomusa kubo;
Pea ke fakamolemole ʻa hoʻo kakai ʻaia kuo angahala kiate koe, mo ʻenau fai kovi kotoa pē ʻaia kuo nau fai kovi ai kiate koe, pea ke fai ʻaloʻofa kiate kinautolu ʻi he ʻao ʻokinautolu naʻe ʻave pōpula kinautolu, koeʻuhi ke nau fai ʻofa kiate kinautolu:
51 ngoba bangabantu bakho njalo bayilifa lakho, bona owabakhipha eGibhithe, esihogweni esivuthayo esincibilikisa insimbi. (questioned)
He ko hoʻo kakai kinautolu, pea ko ho tofiʻa, ʻaia naʻa ke ʻomi mei ʻIsipite, mei he lotolotonga ʻoe afi tutuʻanga ukamea:
52 Sengathi amehlo akho angaba phezu kwenceku yakho ukukhala kwayo lokuncengela kwabantu bakho bako-Israyeli, sengathi ungalalela ukukhala kwabo bekhalaza kuwe.
Koeʻuhi he ʻafio ʻa ho fofonga ki he kole ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, pea ki he kole ʻa hoʻo kakai ʻIsileli, ke fanongo kiate kinautolu ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku nau tāpafua ai kiate koe.
53 Ngoba wabakhetha phakathi kwezizwe zonke zomhlaba ukuthi babe yilifa lakho, njengoba wakhuluma ngenceku yakho uMosi, lapho wena, Oh Thixo Wobukhosi, wakhipha okhokho bethu eGibhithe.”
He naʻa ke mavahe ʻakinautolu mei he kakai kotoa pē ʻoe māmani, ko ho tofiʻa, ʻo hangē ko hoʻo folofola ʻia Mōsese ko hoʻo tamaioʻeiki, ʻi hoʻo ʻomi ʻemau ngaahi tamai mei ʻIsipite, ʻa koe, ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua.”
54 Kwathi uSolomoni eseqedile imikhuleko le lezikhalazo kuThixo, waphakama wema phambi kwe-alithari likaThixo, lapho ayekade eguqe khona ephakamisele izandla zakhe ezulwini.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene fakaʻosi ʻe Solomone ʻa ʻene lotu ʻaki ʻae lotu ni mo e kole ni kia Sihova, naʻa ne tuʻu hake mei he ʻao ʻoe feilaulauʻanga ʻo Sihova, mei heʻene tūʻulutui ʻi hono tui kae mafao ʻa hono nima ki ʻolunga ki he langi.
55 Waphakama wabusisa ibandla labako-Israyeli ngelizwi eliphezulu wathi:
Pea naʻa ne tuʻu hake, ʻo ne tāpuakiʻi ʻae fakataha kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli ʻaki ʻae leʻo lahi, ʻo ne pehē,
56 “Udumo kalube kuThixo, yena olethele abantu bako-Israyeli ukuphumula njengokwethembisa kwakhe. Akukho lokukodwa okungenzekanga kuzozonke izithembiso ezinhle azenza ngenceku yakhe uMosi.
“Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova, ʻaia kuo ne foaki ʻae mālōlō ki heʻene kakai ʻIsileli ʻo fakatatau mo ia kotoa pē naʻa ne talaʻofa ki ai: kuo ʻikai ke tō noa ha momoʻi lea ʻe taha ʻo ʻene talaʻofa lelei kotoa pē, ʻaia naʻa ne talaʻofa ʻaki ʻi he nima ʻo ʻene tamaioʻeiki ko Mōsese.
57 Sengathi uThixo uNkulunkulu wethu angaba lathi njengoba wayelabokhokho bethu; sengathi angaze asitshiya loba asidele.
Ke ʻiate kitautolu ʻa Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua, ʻo hangē ko ʻene ʻi heʻetau ngaahi tamai: ke ʻoua naʻa ne mahuʻi ʻiate kitautolu pe liʻaki ʻakitautolu:
58 Sengathi angaguqulela inhliziyo zethu kuye, sihambe ezindleleni zakhe sigcine lemilayo yakhe, imithetho lezimiso azipha okhokho.
Koeʻuhi ke ne ueʻi hotau loto kiate ia, ke ʻalu ʻi hono hala kotoa pē, pea ke fai ki heʻene ngaahi fekau, mo ʻene tuʻutuʻuni, mo ʻene ngaahi fakamaau, ʻaia naʻa ne fekau ki heʻetau ngaahi tamai.
59 Sengathi amazwi ami la, engikhuleka ngawo kuThixo, angaba seduze kukaThixo uNkulunkulu wethu emini lebusuku, ukuze aqinise izikhalazo zenceku yakhe lezikhalazo zabantu bakhe bako-Israyeli kusiya ngeziswelo zabo zemihla ngemihla,
Pea tuku ʻa ʻeku ngaahi lea ko eni, ʻaia kuo u fai ai ʻeku kole ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ke ofi ia kia Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua ʻi he ʻaho mo e pō, koeʻuhi ke ne tokoni ki he meʻa totonu ʻa ʻene tamaioʻeiki, mo e meʻa totonu ʻa ʻene kakai ʻIsileli ʻi he kuonga kotoa pē, ʻo fakatatau ki he meʻa ʻoku ʻaonga.
60 ukuze abantu bonke bomhlaba bakwazi ukuthi uThixo unguNkulunkulu lokuthi kakho omunye.
Koeʻuhi ke ʻilo ʻe he kakai kotoa pē ʻo māmani ʻoku ʻOtua ʻa Sihova, pea ʻoku ʻikai mo ha taha kehe.
61 Kodwa inhliziyo zenu azigcwale ukuzinikela kuThixo uNkulunkulu wethu, ukuphila ngezimiso zakhe lokulalela imilayo yakhe, njengakhathesi.”
Ko ia tuku ke angatonu ʻa homou loto kia Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua, ke ʻalu ʻi heʻene ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, pea ke fai ʻene ngaahi fekau, ʻo hangē ko e ʻaho ni.”
62 Ngalokho inkosi labo bonke abako-Israyeli banikela imihlatshelo yabo phambi kukaThixo.
Pea naʻe ʻatu ʻae feilaulau ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻe he tuʻi pea mo ʻIsileli kotoa pē mo ia.
63 USolomoni wanikela ngomhlatshelo weminikelo yobudlelwano kuThixo; inkomo ezizinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili lambili, izimvu lembuzi ezizinkulungwane ezilikhulu lamatshumi amabili. Ngokunjalo inkosi labo bonke abako-Israyeli banikela ithempeli likaThixo.
Pea naʻe ʻatu ʻe Solomone ʻae feilaulau ʻoe ngaahi feilaulau fakamelino, ʻaia naʻa ne ʻatu kia Sihova, ko e fanga pulu ʻe ua mano mo e ua afe, mo e fanga sipi ʻe taha kilu mo e ua mano. Pea naʻe pehē ʻae fakatapui ʻae fale ʻo Sihova ʻe he tuʻi pea mo e fānau kotoa pē ʻa ʻIsileli.
64 Ngalelolanga inkosi yangcwelisa iphakathi leguma phambi kwethempeli likaThixo, njalo kulapho eyanikela khona ngomnikelo wokutshiswa, umnikelo wamabele kanye lamafutha eminikelo yobudlelwano ngoba i-alithari lethusi elaliphambi kukaThixo lalilincinyane kakhulu ukuthi kutshiselwe kilo iminikelo yokutshiswa, leminikelo yamabele leminikelo yamafutha obudlelwano.
Pea ko e ʻaho pe ko ia naʻe fakatapui ai ʻe he tuʻi ʻae lotoʻā ʻaia naʻe ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova: he naʻa ne ʻatu ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu, mo e ngaahi feilaulau meʻakai, pea mo e ngako ʻoe ngaahi feilaulau fakamelino: koeʻuhi naʻe siʻi fau ʻae feilaulauʻanga palasa ʻaia naʻe ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ke ʻatu ai ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu, mo e ngaahi feilaulau meʻakai, pea mo e ngako ʻoe ngaahi feilaulau fakamelino.
65 Ngakho uSolomoni wagcina umkhosi ngalesosikhathi ekanye lo-Israyeli wonke, ibandla elikhulu, abantu abavela eLebho Hamathi kusiya eSihotsheni saseGibhithe. Bawuthakazelela phambi kukaThixo uNkulunkulu wethu okwensuku eziyisikhombisa lezinye eziyisikhombisa njalo zaba litshumi lane sezizonke.
Pea naʻe fai ʻe Solomone ʻi he kuonga ko ia ha kātoanga, ʻaia mo ʻIsileli kātoa, ko e fakataha lahi ʻaupito, mei he hūʻanga ʻo Hemati ʻo aʻu ki he vaitafe ʻo ʻIsipite, ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua, ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu mo e toe ʻaho ʻe fitu, ko e ʻaho ʻe hongofulu ma fā.
66 Ngosuku olulandelayo inkosi yabachitha. Bayibusisa inkosi basuka baya emakhaya abo, belentokozo bejabula ezinhliziyweni zabo ngakho konke okuhle uThixo ayekwenzele inceku yakhe uDavida kanye labantu bakhe bako-Israyeli.
ʻI hono valu ʻoe ʻaho naʻa ne fekau ʻae kakai ke ʻalu: pea naʻa nau fakafetaʻi ki he tuʻi, pea [naʻa nau ]ʻalu ki honau ngaahi fale ʻi he nekeneka mo e loto fiefia koeʻuhi ko e ngāue lelei kotoa pē ʻaia naʻe fai ʻe Sihova maʻa Tevita ko ʻene tamaioʻeiki, pea koeʻuhi ko ʻIsileli ko ʻene kakai.
