1 Amakhosi 9
1 USolomoni eseqedile ukwakha ithempeli likaThixo lesigodlo sobukhosi, esenelisile konke ayezimisele ukukwenza,
Rĩrĩa Solomoni aarĩkirie gwaka hekarũ ya Jehova o na nyũmba ya ũthamaki, na akĩhingia maũndũ marĩa mothe erirĩirie gwĩka-rĩ,
2 UThixo wabonakala kuye ngokwesibili, njengoba wayebonakele kuye eGibhiyoni.
Jehova akĩmuumĩrĩra hĩndĩ ya keerĩ, o ta ũrĩa aamuumĩrĩire arĩ Gibeoni.
3 UThixo wathi kuye: “Sengiwuzwile umkhuleko wakho lesikhalazo osenzileyo phambi kwami; sengilenze labangcwele lelithempeli olakhileyo wena ngokufaka iBizo lami kulo lanininini. Amehlo ami kanye lenhliziyo yami kuzakuba phezu kwalo ngezikhathi zonke.
Jehova akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ: “Nĩnjiguĩte kũhooya na gũthaithana kũrĩa ũhooete ũrĩ mbere yakwa; nĩnyamũrĩte hekarũ ĩno, ĩrĩa wee wakĩte, nĩgeetha ndũme Rĩĩtwa rĩakwa rĩtũũre kuo nginya tene. Maitho makwa na ngoro yakwa nĩirĩkoragwo kuo hĩndĩ ciothe.
4 Wena, ungahamba phambi kwami ngobuqotho benhliziyo langokuqonda njengoba uyihlo uDavida akwenza, wenze konke engikulaya ngakho ugcine izimiso zami lemithetho yami,
“No wee mwene-rĩ, ũngĩthiiaga mbere yakwa na wĩhokeku wa ngoro na ũrũngĩrĩru ta ũrĩa thoguo Daudi ekaga, na wĩkage ũrĩa ngwathĩte, na ũmenyagĩrĩre kĩrĩra kĩa watho wakwa wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo na mawatho makwa-rĩ,
5 ngizaqinisa isihlalo sakho sobukhosi phezu kuka-Israyeli kuze kube nininini, njengoba ngathembisa uyihlo uDavida lapho ngathi, ‘Awuyikwehluleka ukuzuza indoda esihlalweni sobukhosi ko-Israyeli.’
Nĩngahaanda gĩtĩ gĩaku kĩa ũnene thĩinĩ wa Isiraeli nginya tene, o ta ũrĩa nderĩire thoguo Daudi rĩrĩa ndoigire atĩrĩ, ‘Ndũkaaga mũndũ wa gũikarĩra gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene kĩa Isiraeli o naarĩ.’
6 Kodwa nxa wena kanye lamadodana akho lingifulathela lingagcini imithetho lezimiso zami engilinike khona beselisuka liye kwabanye onkulunkulu libakhonze,
“No wee kana ariũ aku mũngĩkagarũrũka mũtigane na niĩ, na mwage kũmenyerera maathani na kĩrĩra kĩa watho wakwa wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo kĩrĩa niĩ ndĩmũheete na mũthiĩ mũgatungatĩre ngai ingĩ na mũcihooe-rĩ,
7 ngizamthathela u-Israyeli umhlaba engangimnike wona ngilikhalale leli ithempeli esengilingcwelisile ngeBizo lami. U-Israyeli uzadelelwa abe yinhlekisa ebantwini bonke.
hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩngeheria andũ a Isiraeli bũrũri ũyũ ndĩmaheete na ndiganĩrie hekarũ ĩno nyamũrĩte ĩĩtanio na Rĩĩtwa rĩakwa. Bũrũri wa Isiraeli ũgaatuĩka wa kuunagwo thimo, na kĩndũ gĩa gũthekererwo nĩ andũ othe.
8 Lelithempeli lizakuba yinqumbi yamatshe. Bonke abedlula lapha bazakwenyanya bahleke ulunya bathi, ‘Kanti kungani uThixo enze into enje kulelilizwe lakulelithempeli na?’
Na o na gũtuĩka hekarũ ĩno nĩ ya kũgegania-rĩ, arĩa othe makaahĩtũkagĩra ho nĩmakamakaga na manyũrũrie moige atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmĩte Jehova eke bũrũri ũyũ na hekarũ ĩno ũndũ ta ũyũ?’
9 Abantu bazaphendula bathi, ‘Kungenxa yokuthi sebedele uThixo uNkulunkulu wabo, owakhipha oyise eGibhithe, ngoba sebesuke banamathela kwabanye onkulunkulu, babakhonza njalo babasebenzela yikho-nje uThixo esebehlisele incithakalo yonke le.’”
Andũ nĩmagacookia moige atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ tondũ nĩmatiganĩirie Jehova Ngai wao, ũrĩa warutire maithe mao bũrũri wa Misiri, makahĩmbĩria ngai ingĩ, na magacihooya na magacitungatĩra; nĩkĩo Jehova amareehithĩirie mwanangĩko ũyũ wothe.’”
10 Ekupheleni kweminyaka engamatshumi amabili, lapho uSolomoni akha khona lezizindlu ezimbili, ithempeli likaThixo kanye lesigodlo sobukhosi,
Thuutha wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ, o ihinda rĩrĩa Solomoni aakire nyũmba icio cierĩ; na nĩcio hekarũ ya Jehova na nyũmba ya ũthamaki,
11 iNkosi uSolomoni wanikela amadolobho angamatshumi amabili aweGalile kuHiramu inkosi yaseThire, ngoba uHiramu wayemnike zonke izigodo zesihlahla somsedari lezephayini legolide ayekufuna.
Mũthamaki Solomoni nĩaheire Hiramu mũthamaki wa Turo matũũra mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ kũu Galili, tondũ Hiramu nĩamũreheire mĩtarakwa yothe, na mĩthengera, na thahabu iria aabatairio nĩcio.
12 Kodwa uHiramu wathi esesuka eThire esiyabona amadolobho ayewaphiwe nguSolomoni, kazange ajabule ngawo.
No hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Hiramu ooimire Turo nĩguo akoone matũũra marĩa aaheetwo nĩ Solomoni, ndaakenirio nĩmo.
13 Wambuza wathi, “Ngamadolobho bani la onginike wona, mfowethu?” njalo wayewabiza ngokuthi yilizwe leKhabhuli, okulibizo alokhu ebizwa ngalo lalamuhla.
Nake akĩũria Solomoni atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wa baba, nĩ matũũra matariĩ atĩa maya ũũheete?” Akĩmatua Bũrũri wa Kabuli, na noguo metagwo o na ũmũthĩ.
14 Kunjalo-nje uHiramu wayethumele uSolomoni igolide elalingamathalenta alikhulu elilamatshumi amabili.
Na rĩrĩ, Hiramu nĩarĩkĩtie gũtũmĩra Mũthamaki Solomoni taranda igana rĩa mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ cia thahabu.
15 Nansi imbali yokubanjwa ngamandla kwabantu yiNkosi uSolomoni ukwakha ithempeli likaThixo, ukwakhiwa kwesigodlo sakhe, ledundulu elithiwa yiMilo, lomduli weJerusalema kanye leHazori, iMegido kanye leGezeri.
Ũyũ nĩguo ũhoro wa ũrĩa Mũthamaki Solomoni aarutithirie andũ wĩra na hinya matekwĩyendera wa gwaka hekarũ ya Jehova na nyũmba ya ũthamaki, na mbenji, na rũthingo rwa Jerusalemu, na Hazoru, na Megido, na Gezeru.
16 (UFaro inkosi yaseGibhithe wayehlasele wathumba iGezeri. Wayeyithungele ngomlilo wayitshisa. Wayebulele amaKhenani ayehlala khona, yona wasekhunga ngayo indodakazi yakhe, umkaSolomoni.
Firaũni mũthamaki wa Misiri nĩatharĩkĩire na akĩnyiita Gezeru. Agĩgũcina na mwaki, na akĩũraga andũ a Kaanani arĩa maatũũraga kuo, na agĩcooka agĩkũhe mwarĩ, mũtumia wa Solomoni, arĩ kĩheo kĩa ũhiki.
17 USolomoni waseyakha kutsha iGezeri.) Wakha iBhethi-Horoni esezansi,
Nake Solomoni agĩaka Gezeru rĩngĩ. Nĩaakire Bethi-Horoni ya mũhuro, na
18 leBhalathi, kanye leThamari enkangala, phakathi kwelizwe lakhe,
Baalathu, na Tadimori rĩa werũ-inĩ, thĩinĩ wa bũrũri wake,
19 kanye lamadolobho ayeyiziphala lemizi yezinqola zakhe zempi kanye lamabhiza akhe lakho konke nje ayengafisa ukukwakha eJerusalema leLebhanoni kanye lakulo lonke ilizwe ayelibusa.
o na ningĩ nĩaakire matũũra manene ma kũiga indo ciake na matũũra ma ngaari ciake cia ita na ma mbarathi ciake, na kĩrĩa gĩothe eerirĩirie gwaka Jerusalemu, na Lebanoni, na bũrũri wothe ũrĩa aathanaga.
20 Kubo bonke abantu abasalayo bama-Amori, amaHithi, amaPherizi, amaHivi lamaJebusi (lababantu babengasibo ama-Israyeli)
Andũ othe arĩa maatigaire kuuma kũrĩ Aamori, na Ahiti, na Aperizi, na Ahivi, na Ajebusi (andũ acio matiarĩ andũ a Isiraeli),
21 okutsho ukuthi, izizukulwane zabo ezasalayo ama-Israyeli angazibulalanga aziqeda, laba uSolomoni wababamba isibhalo sokwenza umsebenzi wakhe wobugqili, njengoba kunjalo lalamuhla lokhu.
ũguo nĩ kuuga njiaro ciao iria ciatigarĩte bũrũri-inĩ, iria andũ a Isiraeli mataaniinĩte, acio nĩo maandĩkithirio nĩ Solomoni matuĩke ngombo ciake cia kũrutithio wĩra na hinya, na noguo gũtũire nginya ũmũthĩ.
22 Kodwa uSolomoni kabenzanga izigqili abako-Israyeli; babengamadoda okumlwela, iziphathamandla zikahulumende, izikhulu zakhe, izinduna, kanye labalawuli bezinqola zakhe zempi labatshayeli bazo.
No Solomoni ndaatuire mũndũ o na ũmwe wa Isiraeli ngombo; nĩo maarĩ andũ ake a kũrũa mbaara, na atongoria a thirikari yake, na anene ake, na atongoria a thigari, na aathi a ngaari cia ita, na atwari a cio.
23 Njalo babeyizikhulu zokukhokhela imisebenzi eqakathekileyo kaSolomoni, izikhulu ezingamakhulu amahlanu lamatshumi amahlanu ezazikhangela amadoda ayesenza umsebenzi.
Ningĩ nĩ kwarĩ atongoria a anene 550 arĩa maarutithagia mawĩra mothe ma Solomoni na makarũgamĩrĩra aruti wĩra.
24 Ngemva kokufika kwendodakazi kaFaro esigodlweni eyayisakhelwe nguSolomoni isuka eMzini kaDavida, wakha njalo idundulu elithiwa yiMilo.
Rĩrĩa mwarĩ wa Firaũni aambatire kuuma itũũra inene rĩa Daudi agĩthiĩ gũikara nyũmba ya ũthamaki ĩrĩa Solomoni aamwakĩire, hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩguo Solomoni aathondekire mbenji cia kũmĩnyiitĩrĩra.
25 Kathathu ngomnyaka uSolomoni wanikela umnikelo wokutshiswa lomnikelo wobudlelwano e-alithareni ayelakhele uThixo, etshisa impepha phambi kukaThixo kanye lemihlatshelo. Ngalokho wagcwalisa imilandu yezimiso zethempeli.
Solomoni aarutaga magongona ma njino na ma ũiguano kĩgongona-inĩ kĩrĩa aakĩire Jehova maita matatũ o mwaka, agacinaga ũbumba mbere ya Jehova hamwe namo, na nĩ ũndũ ũcio akahingia watho wa hekarũ.
26 INkosi uSolomoni wakha njalo imikhumbi e-Eziyoni-Gebheri, eseduzane le-Elathi ngase-Edomi, ekhunjini loLwandle oluBomvu.
Ningĩ Mũthamaki Solomoni agĩaka marikabu nyingĩ kũu Ezioni-Geberi, gũkuhĩ na Elothu kũu Edomu, hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia Iria Itune.
27 Kunjalo-nje uHiramu wathumela abantu bakhe, abagwedli ababelwazi ulwandle ukuba bayesebenza emikhunjini labakaSolomoni.
Nake Hiramu agĩtũma andũ ake, atwarithia a marikabu arĩa maamenyete ũhoro wa iria, nĩguo matungatage marikabu-inĩ marĩ na andũ a Solomoni.
28 Bagwedla baya e-Ofiri baphenduka legolide elilesisindo samathalenta angamakhulu amane lamatshumi amabili, bayalethula enkosini uSolomoni.
Magĩthiĩ nginya Ofiri, na makĩrehe taranda magana mana ma mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ cia thahabu, iria maatwarĩire Mũthamaki Solomoni.
