2 Imilando 7

1 Kwathi uSolomoni eseqedile ukukhuleka, kwehla umlilo uvela ezulwini, waqhunqisa umnikelo wokutshiswa lemihlatshelo, inkazimulo kaThixo yagcwalisa ithempeli.

Sa’ad da Solomon ya gama yin addu’a, sai wuta ya sauko daga sama ya cinye hadaya ta ƙonawa da kuma sadakokin, ɗaukakar Ubangiji kuwa ta cika haikalin.

2 Abaphristi behluleka ukungena ethempelini likaThixo ngoba laligcwele inkazimulo kaThixo.

Firistoci ba su iya shiga haikalin Ubangiji ba domin ɗaukakar Ubangiji ta cika shi.

3 Kwathi lapho bonke abako-Israyeli bebona umlilo usehla lenkazimulo kaThixo ethempelini, bathi mbo ngobuso phansi embundwini weguma, badumisa bebonga uThixo besithi: “Yena ulungile; uthando lwakhe lumi kuze kube nininini.”

Sa’ad da dukan Isra’ilawa suka ga wutar na saukowa, ɗaukakar Ubangiji kuma tana a bisa haikalin, sai suka durƙusa a dakali da fuskokinsu a ƙasa, suka yi sujada suka kuma yi godiya ga Ubangiji suna cewa, “Ubangiji mai alheri ne, ƙaunarsa dawwammamiya ce har abada.”

4 Inkosi labantu bonke banikela imihlatshelo kuThixo.

Sai sarki da dukan mutanen suka miƙa hadayu a gaban Ubangiji.

5 Ngalokho inkosi uSolomoni yanikela umhlatshelo wenkomo ezizinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili lambili kanye lezimvu lembuzi ezizinkulungwane ezilikhulu elilamatshumi amabili. Ngakho inkosi labantu bonke banikela ithempeli likaNkulunkulu.

Sarki Solomon kuwa ya miƙa hadayar bijimai dubu ashirin da biyu da kuma tumaki da awaki dubu ɗari da dubu ashirin. Ta haka sarki da dukan mutane suka keɓe haikalin Allah.

6 Abaphristi bema ngezindawo zabo, njengoba labaLevi labo bema ngamachacho lawo inkosi uDavida eyayivele iwenzele ukudumisa uThixo njalo ayevele esetshenziswa nxa ebonga, esithi, “Uthando lwakhe lumi kuze kube nininini.” Maqondana labaLevi, abaphristi babevuthela amacilongo abo, njalo bonke abako-Israyeli babemi.

Firistoci suka ɗauki matsayinsu, haka kuma Lawiyawa suka tsaya a matsayinsu riƙe da kayansu na bushe-bushe da na kaɗe-kaɗe na Ubangiji, waɗanda Sarki Dawuda ya yi domin yabon Ubangiji. An yi amfani da su sa’ad da ake godiya, ana kuma cewa, “Ƙaunarsa dawwammamiya ce har abada.” Kurkusa da Lawiyawa, firistoci suka busa ƙahoninsu, dukan Isra’ila kuwa suna a tsaye.

7 USolomoni wahlukanisela uThixo indawo yaphakathi laphakathi kweguma phambi kwethempeli likaThixo, njalo kulapho anikelela khona iminikelo yokutshiswa lamafutha eminikelo yobudlelwano, ngoba i-alithari lethusi ayelenzile lalingeke lenele iminikelo yokutshiswa, iminikelo yamabele kanye lamafutha.

Solomon ya tsarkake sashen tsakiya na filin da yake gaban haikalin Ubangiji, a can ya miƙa hadayun ƙonawa da kitsen hadayun salama domin bagaden tagullar da ya yi ba zai iya ɗaukan hadayun ƙonawa, hadayun hatsi da kuma ɓangarori na kitsen ba.

8 Ngakho ngalesosikhathi uSolomoni wathakazelela umkhosi okwensuku eziyisikhombisa, labo bonke abako-Israyeli ababelaye, ababelibandla elikhulu, abanye bevela eLebho Hamathi kusiya eSihotsheni saseGibhithe.

Ta haka Solomon ya kiyaye bikin a wannan lokaci har kwana bakwai, dukan Isra’ila kuwa tare da shi, babban taro, mutane daga Lebo Hamat har zuwa Rafin Masar.

9 Ngosuku lwesificaminwembili benza umhlangano, ngoba babekhonze ngokunikela i-alithari okwensuku eziyisikhombisa lomkhosi wezinye insuku eziyisikhombisa phezulu.

A rana ta takwas sai suka yi taro, gama sun yi bikin keɓewar bagade na kwana bakwai da kuma biki na ƙarin kwana bakwai.

10 Ngosuku lwamatshumi amabili lantathu lwenyanga yesikhombisa wakhulula abantu ukuthi babuyele emakhaya abo bethokoza njalo bejabula ngenhliziyo ngenxa yezinto ezinhle uThixo ayezenzele uDavida loSolomoni kanye labantu bakhe bako-Israyeli.

A rana ta ashirin da uku na watan bakwai sai ya sallami mutane su tafi gidajensu da farin ciki da kuma murna a zuciya saboda abubuwa masu kyau da Ubangiji ya yi domin Dawuda da Solomon da kuma domin mutanensa Isra’ila.

11 Kwathi uSolomoni eseqedile ithempeli likaThixo lesigodlo, esenelisile lokwenza konke ayekunakana ngethempeli likaThixo kanye lesigodlo sakhe,

Sa’ad da Solomon ya gama haikalin Ubangiji da kuma fadan sarki ya kuma yi nasara a yin dukan abin da yake a zuciyarsa da zai yi a haikalin Ubangiji da kuma a fadarsa,

12 UThixo wabonakala kuye ebusuku wathi: “Ngiwuzwile umkhuleko wakho njalo sengizikhethele indawo le ukuba ibe lithempeli lemihlatshelo.

sai Ubangiji ya bayyana gare shi a daren ya ce, “Na ji addu’arka na kuma zaɓi wannan wuri don kaina, a matsayin haikali don hadayu.

13 Nxa ngivala iphezulu ukuze kungabi lezulu, loba ngithumela intethe ukuchitha ilizwe, ingabe ngithumela isifo phakathi kwabantu bami,

“Sa’ad da na kulle sammai don kada a yi ruwan sama ko na umarci fāri su cinye amfanin ƙasar ko kuwa na aika da annoba a cikin mutanena,

14 nxa abantu bami, ababizwa ngebizo lami, bezazithoba bakhuleke badinge ubuso bami njalo batshiye izindlela zabo ezimbi, kulapho ngizakuzwa khona ngisezulwini ngithethelele izono zabo njalo ngiphephise ilizwe labo.

in mutanena, waɗanda ake kira da sunana, sun ƙasƙantar da kansu, suka kuma yi addu’a, suka nemi fuskata, suka kuma juye daga mugayen hanyoyinsu, zan ji daga sama in kuma gafarta zunubinsu in kuwa warkar da ƙasarsu.

15 Ngalokho amehlo ami azavuleka, lezindlebe zami zizalalela imikhuleko eyenziwa kulindawo.

Yanzu, idanuna za su buɗu, kunnuwata kuma za su saurara ga addu’o’in da aka miƙa a wannan wuri.

16 Ngilikhethile ngizahlukanisela lelithempeli ukuze iBizo lami libe kulo kuze kube nininini. Amehlo ami lenhliziyo yami kuzakuba kulo ngazozonke izikhathi.

Na zaɓi na kuma tsarkake wannan haikali saboda Sunana yă kasance a can har abada. Idanuna da kuma zuciyata kullum za su kasance a can.

17 Wena, nxa ungahamba phambi kwami njengalokhu okwenziwa nguyihlo uDavida, wenze konke engikulaya ngakho, ulandele izimiso lemithetho yami,

“Game da kai kuwa, in ka yi tafiya a gabana kamar yadda Dawuda mahaifinka ya yi, ka kuma yi dukan abin da na umarta, ka kiyaye ƙa’idodina da dokokina,

18 ngizaqinisa isihlalo sakho sobukhosi, njengesivumelwano engasenza loyihlo uDavida ngisithi: ‘Kawuyikuswela umuntu ozabusa u-Israyeli.’

zan kafa kujerar sarautarka, yadda na alkawarta wa Dawuda mahaifinka sa’ad da na ce, ‘Ba za ka taɓa rasa wani mutumin da zai yi mulki a bisa Isra’ila ba.’

19 Kodwa ungafulathela utshiye izimiso lemilayo engikunika yona usuke uyekhothamela abanye onkulunkulu ubakhonze,

“Amma in ka juya daga gare ni ka yashe ƙa’idodi da umarnan da na ba ka, ka yi gaban kanka don ka bauta wa waɗansu alloli ka kuma yi musu sujada,

20 kulapho ngizakhucula abako-Israyeli elizweni lami, engabanika lona, kuthi lelithempeli engilahlukanisele iBizo lami ngilichithe, ngilenze libe yinto ekhohlakeleyo into eyinhlekisa kubo bonke abantu.

zan tumɓuke Isra’ila daga ƙasata, wadda na ba su, zan kuma ƙi wannan haikalin da na tsarkake domin Sunana. Zan mai da shi abin karin magana da abin ba’a cikin dukan mutane.

21 Loba lelithempeli likhanga amehlo, bonke abedlula lapha bazamangala bathi, ‘Kanti kungani uThixo ekwenzile lokhu okunje kulelilizwe kanye lakulelithempeli?’

Ko da yake wannan haikali yanzu mai girma ne, dukan wanda ya wuce zai kaɗa kai yă ce, ‘Me ya sa Ubangiji ya yi irin wannan abu ga wannan ƙasa da kuma ga wannan haikali?’

22 Abantu bazaphendula bathi, ‘Ngoba bamfulathele uThixo, uNkulunkulu wabokhokho babo, owabakhupha eGibhithe, basuka bayabambelela kwabanye onkulunkulu, bebakhonza njalo bebakhothamela, yikho ebehlisele incithakalo yonke le.’”

Mutane za su amsa, ‘Domin sun yashe Ubangiji Allah na kakanninsu, wanda ya fitar da su daga Masar, suka rungumi waɗansu alloli, suna musu sujada, suna bauta musu, shi ya sa ya kawo dukan wannan masifa a kansu.’”
