2 Imilando 6
1 USolomoni wasesithi, “UThixo usetshilo ukuthi uzahlala eyezini elimnyama,
Afei, Salomo bɔɔ mpaeɛ sɛ, “Ao Awurade, woaka sɛ, wobɛtena omununkum kusuu mu.
2 sengikwakhele ithempeli elimangalisayo, indawo yakho ozahlala kuyo kuze kube nininini.”
Afei, masi Asɔredan a ɛho wɔ nyam ama wo, baabi a wobɛtumi atena afebɔɔ.”
3 Ibandla lonke lako-Israyeli lisemi khonapho, inkosi yaphenduka yababusisa.
Na ɔhene no danee ne ho kyerɛɛ ɔmanfoɔ a wɔgyina nʼanim no nyinaa, hyiraa wɔn sɛ,
4 Yasisithi: “Kadunyiswe uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, yena osegcwalise ngezandla zakhe ayekuthembise ubaba uDavida ngomlomo wakhe. Ngoba wathi,
“Nhyira nka Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn, a wadi ɛbɔ a ɔhyɛɛ mʼagya Dawid no so, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔka kyerɛɛ mʼagya sɛ,
5 ‘Kusukela ngelanga engakhupha ngalo abantu bami eGibhithe, akuladolobho engalikhethayo laloba kusiphi isizwana sako-Israyeli, ukuba iBizo lami lakhelwe ithempeli khona, njalo angikhethanga loba ngubani ukuba abe ngumkhokheli wabantu bami bako-Israyeli.
‘Ɛfiri da a meyii me nkurɔfoɔ firii Misraim no, menyii kuropɔn biara mfirii Israel mmusuakuo no mu sɛ baabi a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔsi Asɔredan, de hyɛ me din animuonyam. Ɛnna nso, menyii ɔhene biara sɛ ɔnni me nkurɔfoɔ Israelfoɔ anim.
6 Kodwa khathesi sengikhethe iJerusalema ukuba iBizo lami libe khonale, njalo sengikhethe uDavida ukuba abuse abantu bami bako-Israyeli.’
Nanso, afei, mayi Yerusalem sɛ kuropɔn, ne Dawid sɛ ɔhene.’”
7 Ubaba uDavida wayetshiseka enhliziyweni yakhe ukuba akhele iBizo likaThixo ithempeli, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli.
Afei, Salomo kaa sɛ, “Mʼagya Dawid pɛɛ sɛ ɔsi saa Asɔredan yi de hyɛ Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn din animuonyam.
8 Kodwa uThixo wathi kubaba uDavida, ‘Wenza kuhle ngokuba lesifiso sokungakhela ithempeli leBizo lami enhliziyweni yakho.
Nanso, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, ‘Ɛyɛ sɛ wopɛ sɛ wosi asɔredan de hyɛ me din animuonyam
9 Lanxa kunjalo, kayisuwe ozakwakha ithempeli, kodwa indodana yakho eyinyama yakho legazi lakho, yiyo ezakwakhela iBizo lami ithempeli.’
nanso, ɛnyɛ wo na wobɛyɛ. Mmom, wo mmammarima no mu baako na ɔbɛsi.’
10 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.
“Na afei, Awurade ayɛ deɛ ɔhyɛɛ ho bɔ no, ɛfiri sɛ, masi mʼagya anan mu sɛ ɔhene. Masi saa Asɔredan yi de ahyɛ Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn din animuonyam.
11 Kulapho engibeke khona ibhokisi, phakathi kwalo kulesivumelwano sikaThixo asenza labantu bako-Israyeli.”
Ɛhɔ na mede Adaka no asi, na Adaka no mu nso na apam a Awurade ne Israelfoɔ yɛeɛ no hyɛ.”
12 USolomoni wasesima phambi kwe-alithari likaThixo phambi kwalo lonke ibandla lako-Israyeli welula izandla zakhe.
Na Salomo pagyaa ne nsa kyerɛɛ soro wɔ Awurade afɔrebukyia ne Israel manfoɔ no nyinaa anim.
13 Wayenze isitubhu sethusi, ubude baso buzingalo ezinhlanu, lobubanzi baso buzingalo ezinhlanu njalo buzingalo ezintathu ukuyaphezulu, sona wayesimise phakathi laphakathi kweguma elingaphandle. Wema phezu kwesitubhu waseguqa phambi kwalo lonke ibandla lako-Israyeli waphakamisela izandla zakhe ezulwini.
Na wabɔ kɔbere mfrafraeɛ apa a nʼatweeɛmu yɛ anammɔn nson ne fa, ne tɛtrɛtɛ yɛ anammɔn nson ne fa, na ne ɔsorokɔ yɛ anammɔn ɛnan ne fa, de asi asɔredan no adihɔ mfimfini. Ɔgyinaa apa no so wɔ nnipa no nyinaa anim. Ɔbuu nkotodwe, maa ne nsa so kyerɛɛ soro.
14 Wasesithi: “Oh Thixo Nkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, kakho uNkulunkulu ofanana lawe ezulwini lasemhlabeni, wena ogcina isivumelwano sakho sothando lezinceku zakho eziqhubeka endleleni yakho ngezinhliziyo ezipheleleyo.
Ɔbɔɔ mpaeɛ sɛ, “Ao Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn, Onyankopɔn biara nni hɔ sɛ wo wɔ ɔsoro ne asase so nyinaa. Wodi wo bɔhyɛ so, na woda wo dɔ a ɛwɔ hɔ daa no adi kyerɛ wɔn a wɔtie wo na wɔn ani gye sɛ wɔbɛyɛ wʼapɛdeɛ nyinaa.
15 Usigcinile isithembiso sakho encekwini yakho uDavida ongubaba; ngomlomo wakho uthembisile njalo ngesandla sakho ukugcwalisile lokho njengoba kunjalo lamuhla.
Wo bɔ a wohyɛɛ wo ɔsomfoɔ Dawid a ɔyɛ mʼagya no, woadi so. Wʼankasa wʼano na wode hyɛɛ bɔ no, na ɛnnɛ, wonam wʼankasa wo nsa so ama aba mu.
16 Ngakho Thixo, Nkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, gcinela inceku yakho uDavida ubaba isithembiso owasenza kuye usithi, ‘Kawuyikuswela umuntu ozakuma phambi kwami esihlalweni sobukhosi buka-Israyeli, nxa amadodana akho ezahamba ngokomthetho wami phambi kwami, njengalokhu okwenzileyo wena.’
“Afei, Ao Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn, ma ɛbɔ a wokɔɔ so hyɛɛ wo ɔsomfoɔ Dawid a ɔyɛ mʼagya no mmra mu. Woka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, ‘Sɛ wʼasefoɔ bɔ wɔn bra yie, na wɔdi me mmara so sɛdeɛ woayɛ no a, wɔbɛdi Israel so ɔhene daa daa.’
17 Ngakho khathesi, Thixo, Nkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, kaligcwaliseke ilizwi lesithembiso owalikhuluma kuDavida inceku yakho.
Afei, Ao Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn, di saa bɔ a woahyɛ wo ɔsomfoɔ Dawid no so.
18 Kambe uNkulunkulu uzahlala labantu emhlabeni na? Amazulu, kanye lamazulu aphezulu kakhulu, kawakulingani. Pho lisilela kanganani lelithempeli engilakhileyo!
“Ɛyɛ nokorɛ sɛ Onyankopɔn bɛtena nnipa mu wɔ asase so? Ɔsorosoro nohoa mpo ntumi nkora wo, na ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na Asɔredan a masie yi bɛtumi akora wo.
19 Kodwa-ke akuzwe umkhuleko wenceku yakho lokucela kwayo umusa, Oh Thixo Nkulunkulu wami. Zwana ukukhala lokukhuleka kwenceku yakho phambi kwakho.
Tie me mpaeɛbɔ ne mʼadesrɛdeɛ, Ao Awurade, me Onyankopɔn. Tie osufrɛ ne mpaeɛ a wo ɔsomfoɔ rebɔ no.
20 Ebusuku lemini amehlo akho kakhangele lindlu, yona eyindawo owathi iBizo lakho lizakuba kuyo. Akuzwe umkhuleko wenceku yakho ngalindawo.

21 Akulalele ukucela kwenceku yakho lokwabantu bakho bako-Israyeli nxa bekhuleka bekhangele kule indawo. Akuzwe ezulwini, lona eliyindawo yakho yokuhlala; ukuze uthi ungezwa, uthethelele.

22 Nxa umuntu angonela umakhelwane wakhe, afungiswe, abesefunga isifungo phambi kwe-alithari lakho kulelithempeli,
“Sɛ obi fom obi, na ɛho hia sɛ ɔka ho ntam sɛ ɔnnim ho hwee wɔ afɔrebukyia a ɛsi asɔredan mu no anim a,
23 zwana usezulwini, uthethelele. Zahlulele izinceku zakho, uyigwebe leyo elecala ngalokho ekwenzileyo, njalo uyidedele engonanga uyiphe umvuzo ofanele ukuba msulwa kwayo.

24 Kuthi lapho abantu bakho bako-Israyeli behlulwe yizitha ngoba bonile kuwe, akuthi lapho bephenduka befakaza ibizo lakho, bekhuleka njalo becela phambi kwakho kulelithempeli,
“Sɛ wo nkurɔfoɔ Israelfoɔ yɛ bɔne tia wo, na ɛno enti wɔn atamfoɔ di wɔn so nkonim na wɔsane ba wo nkyɛn, bɔ wo din na wɔbɔ wo mpaeɛ wɔ Asɔredan yi mu a,

26 Akuthi nxa emazulwini kuvalekile lingasani izulu ngoba abantu bakho bonile kuwe, njalo bathi nxa bekhuleka bekhangele kulindawo befakaza ibizo lakho betshiya izono zabo ngoba ubajezisile,

28 Nxa kufika indlala loba isifo elizweni, loba ingumane loba isikhwekhwe, intethe loba isikhongwane, loba izitha zibavimbezela loba kukuyiphi imizi yabo, loba kufika incithakalo kumbe umkhuhlane bani,
“Sɛ ɛkɔm si asase no so anaa ɔyaredɔm ba so anaa mfudeɛ nyarewa ba anaa ntutummɛ ne asa bɛgu mfudeɛ so, anaa wo nkurɔfoɔ atamfoɔ ba asase no so bɛtua wɔn nkuro a, sɛdeɛ ɔhaw no te biara no,
29 kuthi lanxa umkhuleko kumbe isicelo sisenziwa ngomunye wabantu bakho bako-Israyeli, ngulowo lalowo ebona inhlupheko lezinsizi zakhe njalo ephakamisela izandla zakhe kulelithempeli,

32 Akuthi owezizweni ongasuye omunye wabantu bakho bako-Israyeli kodwa evela elizweni elikhatshana ngenxa yodumo lwebizo lakho lesandla sakho esilamandla lengalo yakho elulekileyo, nxa esiza ekhuleka ekhangele kulelithempeli,
“Na sɛ ananafoɔ te wo nka ne wo nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ akɛseɛ no, na wɔfiri akyirikyiri bɛsom wo din kɛseɛ no, bɔ mpaeɛ de wɔn ani kyerɛ Asɔredan yi a,
33 umuzwe usezulwini, lona eliyindawo yakho yokuhlala, umenzele owezizweni loba kuyini akucela kuwe, ukuze kuthi abantu bonke emhlabeni balazi ibizo lakho bakwesabe, njengalokhu abantu bakho bako-Israyeli bekwenza, ukuze bazi ukuthi lindlu engiyakhileyo ngeyeBizo lakho.

34 Nxa abantu bakho bephuma besiya empini ukuyakulwa lezitha zabo, loba kungaphi lapho obathuma khona, njalo kuthi nxa bekhuleka kuwe bekhangele lelidolobho olikhethileyo kanye lalelithempeli engilakhele iBizo lakho,
“Sɛ wohyɛ wo nkurɔfoɔ sɛ wɔmfiri adi nkɔko ntia wɔn atamfoɔ, na sɛ wɔbɔ wo mpaeɛ firi kuro yi a woayi, ne saa asɔredan yi a masi de wo din ato so yi mu a,
