1 Amakhosi 9
1 USolomoni eseqedile ukwakha ithempeli likaThixo lesigodlo sobukhosi, esenelisile konke ayezimisele ukukwenza,
EIA hoi kekahi, i ka pau ana'e o ko Solomona kukalu ana i ka hale o Iehova, a me ka hale o ke alii, a me ka makemake a pau o Solomona ana i manao ai e hana;
2 UThixo wabonakala kuye ngokwesibili, njengoba wayebonakele kuye eGibhiyoni.
Ike hou ia'ku la o Iehova e Solomona, o ka lua keia, e like me kona ikeia e ia ma Gibeona.
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.
A olelo mai la o Iehova ia ia, Ua lohe ae nei au i kau pule a me kou nonoi ana au i haipule mai ai imua o'u; a ua hoano ae nei au i keia hale au i kukulu mai nei e waiho mau loa i ko'u inoa malaila; a malaila mau no hoi ko'u mau maka a me ko'u naau.
4 Wena, ungahamba phambi kwami ngobuqotho benhliziyo langokuqonda njengoba uyihlo uDavida akwenza, wenze konke engikulaya ngakho ugcine izimiso zami lemithetho yami,
A ina e hele oe ma ko'u alo, me Davida kou makuakane i hele ai, me ka oiaio o ka naau a me ka pololei, e hana i ka'u mea a pau i kauoha aku ai ia oe, a e malama hoi oe i ko'u mau kapu a me ko'u mau kanawai;
5 ngizaqinisa isihlalo sakho sobukhosi phezu kuka-Israyeli kuze kube nininini, njengoba ngathembisa uyihlo uDavida lapho ngathi, ‘Awuyikwehluleka ukuzuza indoda esihlalweni sobukhosi ko-Israyeli.’
Alaila e hookupaa au i ka nohoalii o kou aupuni maluna mau loa o ka Iseraela, e like me ka'u olelohoopomaikai ia Davida kou makuakane, i ka i ana'e, Aole oe e nele i ke kanaka maluna o ka nohoalii o ka Iseraela.
6 Kodwa nxa wena kanye lamadodana akho lingifulathela lingagcini imithetho lezimiso zami engilinike khona beselisuka liye kwabanye onkulunkulu libakhonze,
Aka, ina e kapae ae oukou mai ka hahai ana ia'u o oukou, a o ka oukou mau keiki paha, aole hoi e malama mai i ka'u mau kauoha, a me ko'u mau kanawai a'u i hoonoho ai imua o ko oukou alo, a e hele aku oukou a e malama i na akua e, a e hoomana aku ia lakou:
7 ngizamthathela u-Israyeli umhlaba engangimnike wona ngilikhalale leli ithempeli esengilingcwelisile ngeBizo lami. U-Israyeli uzadelelwa abe yinhlekisa ebantwini bonke.
Alaila e oki aku au i ka Iseraela mai ka aina aku a'u i haawi aku ai ia lakou; a o keia hale a'u i hoolaa ai no ko'u inoa, oia ka'u e ki paku aku ai mai ko'u alo aku; a e lilo ae ka Iseraela i mea e heneheneia, a e hoinoia iwaena o na lahuikanaka a pau.
8 Lelithempeli lizakuba yinqumbi yamatshe. Bonke abedlula lapha bazakwenyanya bahleke ulunya bathi, ‘Kanti kungani uThixo enze into enje kulelilizwe lakulelithempeli na?’
A i keia hale ka mea kiekie, o ka mea e maalo ae ma ia, e kahaha oia, a e henehene ae; a e olelo ae hoi lakou, No ke aha la e hana mai ai o Iehova pela i keia aina, a i keia hale?
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.’”
A e hai mai lakou, No ko lakou haalele ana ia Iehova i ko lakou Akua, ka mea nana i lawe mai i ko lakou poe kupuna, mai ka aina mai o Aigupita, a ua lalau lakou ma na akua e, a ua hoomana hoi ia lakou, me ka malama aku ia lakou: nolaila i lawe mai ai Iehova i keia poino a pau maluna o lakou.
10 Ekupheleni kweminyaka engamatshumi amabili, lapho uSolomoni akha khona lezizindlu ezimbili, ithempeli likaThixo kanye lesigodlo sobukhosi,
Eia hoi kekahi, i ka pau ana'e o na makahiki he iwakalua, a hoopau ae o Solomona i ke kukulu ana i na hale elua, i ka hale o Iehova, a me ka hale o ke alii,
11 iNkosi uSolomoni wanikela amadolobho angamatshumi amabili aweGalile kuHiramu inkosi yaseThire, ngoba uHiramu wayemnike zonke izigodo zesihlahla somsedari lezephayini legolide ayekufuna.
(Ua haawi mai o Hirama ke alii o Turo, ia Solomona i na laau kedera a me na laau kaa, a me ke gula, e like me kona makemake a pau) alaila, haawi aku o Solomona ke alii ia Hirama i na kulanakauhale he iwakalua ma ka aina o Galilaia.
12 Kodwa uHiramu wathi esesuka eThire esiyabona amadolobho ayewaphiwe nguSolomoni, kazange ajabule ngawo.
A hele mai o Hirama mai Turo mai e ike i na kulanakauhale a Solomona i haawi ai ia ia; aole hoi oia i oluolu ia mau mea.
13 Wambuza wathi, “Ngamadolobho bani la onginike wona, mfowethu?” njalo wayewabiza ngokuthi yilizwe leKhabhuli, okulibizo alokhu ebizwa ngalo lalamuhla.
I mai la ia, Heaha keia mau kulanakauhale au i haawi mai ai ia'u, e kuu hoahanau? A kapa iho la oia ia lakou he aina Kabula, a hiki i keia la.
14 Kunjalo-nje uHiramu wayethumele uSolomoni igolide elalingamathalenta alikhulu elilamatshumi amabili.
Ua hoouna ae la o Hirama i na talena gula hookahi haneri me ka iwakalua, i ke alii.
15 Nansi imbali yokubanjwa ngamandla kwabantu yiNkosi uSolomoni ukwakha ithempeli likaThixo, ukwakhiwa kwesigodlo sakhe, ledundulu elithiwa yiMilo, lomduli weJerusalema kanye leHazori, iMegido kanye leGezeri.
Eia hoi ka mea i auhau ai o Solomona ke alii, o ka hana i ka hale o Iehova a me kona hale iho, a me Milo, a me ka pa o Ierusalema, a me Hazora, a me Megido, a me Gezera.
16 (UFaro inkosi yaseGibhithe wayehlasele wathumba iGezeri. Wayeyithungele ngomlilo wayitshisa. Wayebulele amaKhenani ayehlala khona, yona wasekhunga ngayo indodakazi yakhe, umkaSolomoni.
Ua pii o Parao ke alii o Aigupita, a ua hoopio ia Gezera, a ua puhi aku ia i ke ahi, a ua pepehi i ko Kanaana, i na mea e noho ana ma ia kulanakauhale, a haawi mai la oia ia i kana kaikamahine, ka wahine a Solomona.
17 USolomoni waseyakha kutsha iGezeri.) Wakha iBhethi-Horoni esezansi,
A kukulu ae la o Solomona ia Gezera a me Betehorona lalo,
18 leBhalathi, kanye leThamari enkangala, phakathi kwelizwe lakhe,
A me Baalata a me Tademora i ka waonahele, ma ka aina,
19 kanye lamadolobho ayeyiziphala lemizi yezinqola zakhe zempi kanye lamabhiza akhe lakho konke nje ayengafisa ukukwakha eJerusalema leLebhanoni kanye lakulo lonke ilizwe ayelibusa.
A me na kulanakauhale papaa a pau o Solomona, a me na kulanakauhale no kona mau kaa, a me na kulanakauhale no kona mau hoohololio, a me ka mea a Solomona i makemake ai e kukulu ma Ierusalema, a ma Lebanona, a me ka aina a pau o kona aupuni.
20 Kubo bonke abantu abasalayo bama-Amori, amaHithi, amaPherizi, amaHivi lamaJebusi (lababantu babengasibo ama-Israyeli)
O na kanaka i koe o ka Amora, a me ka Heta, a me Periza, a me ka Hiva a me ka Iebusa, ka poe aole no na mamo a Iseraela;
21 okutsho ukuthi, izizukulwane zabo ezasalayo ama-Israyeli angazibulalanga aziqeda, laba uSolomoni wababamba isibhalo sokwenza umsebenzi wakhe wobugqili, njengoba kunjalo lalamuhla lokhu.
O ka lakou mau keiki i koe mahope o lakou ma ka aina, aole hoi i hiki i na mamo a Iseraela ke luku pau aku, maluna o lakou i auhau ai o Solomona i hookauwa mai a hiki i keia la.
22 Kodwa uSolomoni kabenzanga izigqili abako-Israyeli; babengamadoda okumlwela, iziphathamandla zikahulumende, izikhulu zakhe, izinduna, kanye labalawuli bezinqola zakhe zempi labatshayeli bazo.
Aka, o na mamo a Iseraela, aole o Solomona i hoolilo i kekahi i kauwa paa; aka, he poe kanaka kaua lakou, a o kana mau kauwa, a me kona mau alii, a me kona mau luna, a me na luna o kona mau kaa, a me kona poe hoohololio.
23 Njalo babeyizikhulu zokukhokhela imisebenzi eqakathekileyo kaSolomoni, izikhulu ezingamakhulu amahlanu lamatshumi amahlanu ezazikhangela amadoda ayesenza umsebenzi.
Eia na haku o ka poe luna hana maluna o ka Solomona hana, elima haneri mo kanalima, e haku ana maluna o ka poe kanaka e hana ana i ka hana.
24 Ngemva kokufika kwendodakazi kaFaro esigodlweni eyayisakhelwe nguSolomoni isuka eMzini kaDavida, wakha njalo idundulu elithiwa yiMilo.
Hele mai la nae ke kaikamahine a Parao mai ke kulanakauhale mai o Davida, i ka hale a Solomona i kukulu ai nona; alaila kukulu ae la oia ia Milo.
25 Kathathu ngomnyaka uSolomoni wanikela umnikelo wokutshiswa lomnikelo wobudlelwano e-alithareni ayelakhele uThixo, etshisa impepha phambi kukaThixo kanye lemihlatshelo. Ngalokho wagcwalisa imilandu yezimiso zethempeli.
Ekolu ae la ko Solomona kaumaha ana ma ka makahiki i na mohaikuni, a mo na mohaihoomalu, maluna o ke kuahu ana i hana'i no Iehova, a kuni hoi i ka mea ala maluna o ke kuahu ma ke alo o Iehova. Pela hoi i hoopaa ai oia i ka hale.
26 INkosi uSolomoni wakha njalo imikhumbi e-Eziyoni-Gebheri, eseduzane le-Elathi ngase-Edomi, ekhunjini loLwandle oluBomvu.
Hana iho la o Solomona ke alii i na moku ma Eziona-gebera, ka mea o pili ana ia Elota, ma kahakai o ke Kaiula, ma ka aina o Edoma.
27 Kunjalo-nje uHiramu wathumela abantu bakhe, abagwedli ababelwazi ulwandle ukuba bayesebenza emikhunjini labakaSolomoni.
Hoouna ae la hoi o Hirama i kona poe kauwa, na mea holomoku i ike i ke kai, me na kauwa a Solomona.
28 Bagwedla baya e-Ofiri baphenduka legolide elilesisindo samathalenta angamakhulu amane lamatshumi amabili, bayalethula enkosini uSolomoni.
Holo ae la lakou i. Opera, a lawe mai lakou mai laila mai, i ke gula eha haneri me ka iwakalua talena, a lawe hui ia i ke alii ia Solomona.
