2 Imilando 8
1 Ekupheleni kweminyaka engamatshumi amabili, leyo uSolomoni akha ngayo ithempeli likaThixo kanye lesigodlo sakhe,
A PAU na makahiki he iwakalua, ka wa a Solomona i ku kulu ai ka hale o Iehova, a me kona hale iho,
2 uSolomoni wabuye wavusa imizi uHiramu ayemnike yona, wahlalisa abako-Israyeli kuyo.
Alaila, o na kulanakauhale a Hurama i haawi mai ai ia Solomona, kukulu iho la o Solomona ia lakou, a hoonoho malaila i ka Iseraela.
3 USolomoni wayahlasela iHamathi-Zobha wayithumba.
Hele aku la o Solomona i Hamata-zoba, a lanakila maluna ona.
4 Wakha njalo leThamari enkangala layo yonke imizi yeziphala ayakha eHamathi.
Kukulu iho la oia ia Tademora ma ka waonahele, a me na kulanakauhale papaa ana i kukulu ai ma Hamata.
5 Wavusa iBhethi-Horoni elingaphezu kanye leBhethi-Horoni elingaphansi, imizi ebiyelweyo elemithangala lamasongo alemigoqo,
Kukulu hoi oia ia Betehorana luna, a me Betehorana lalo, na kulanakauhale paa i ka pa, a me na puka a me na kaola;
6 kanye leBhalathi lamadolobho akhe wonke ayeyiziphala lemizi yezinqola zakhe zempi kanye lamabhiza akhe lakho konke nje ayengafisa ukukwakha eJerusalema leLebhanoni kanye lakulo lonke ilizwe ayelibusa.
A me Baalata a me na kulanakauhale papaa o Solomona, a me na kulanakauhalo no na kaa, a me na kulanakauhale no ka poe holoholo lio, a me na mea a pau a Solomona i makemake ai e kukulu ma Ierusalema, a ma Lebanona, a ma ka aina a pau o kona aupuni.
7 Abantu bonke ababesele kumaHithi, lama-Amori, lamaPherizi, lamaHivi kanye lamaJebusi (lababantu babengasiwo ama-Israyeli),
A o na kanaka i koe no ka Heta, a me ka Amora, a me ka Periza, a me ka Hiva, a me ka Iebusa, aole no ka poe mamo a Iseraela,
8 kutshiwo labo inzalo yabo eyayisele elizweni, labo abangabhujiswanga ngama-Israyeli, uSolomoni wababutha baba yizigqili: njengoba kunjalo kuze kube lanamhla.
O na mamo o ka poe i koe ma ka aina, ka poe i pau ole i ka Iseraela, hoolilo o Solomona ia lakou i poe hookupu nana, a hiki i keia la.
9 Kodwa abako-Israyeli uSolomoni kabenzanga izigqili emsebenzini wakhe; babengamadoda akhe empi, abalawuli bezinduna zebutho, labalawuli bezinqola zokulwa labokulwa ngezinqola zokulwa.
Aka, o ka poe mamo a Iseraela, aole i hoolilo o Solomona i kekahi poe o lakou i poe kauwa no kana hana; no ka mea, he poe kanaka kaua lakou, ho poe luna koa, a he poe luna o na hale kaa a me na holoholo lio.
10 Njalo babeyizikhulu zenkosi uSolomoni, bengamakhulu amabili alamatshumi amahlanu ababephethe abantu.
Eia ka poe koikoi o na luna a ke alii a Solomona; elua haneri a me kanalima, ka poe i hoonohoia maluna o na kanaka.
11 USolomoni wasusa indodakazi kaFaro eMzini kaDavida wayisa esigodlweni asakhela yona, ngoba wathi, “Umkami kamelanga ahlale esigodlweni sikaDavida inkosi yako-Israyeli, ngoba izindawo esezike zangena ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaThixo zingcwele.”
A alakai o Solomona i ke kaikamahine a Parao mai ke kulanakauhale o Davida mai a i ka hale ana i kukulu ai nona; no ka mea, olelo iho la oia, Aole e noho ka'u wahine ma ka hale o Davida, ke alii o ka Iseraela, no ka mea, ua laa ia mau wahi, kahi i komo ai ka pahu o Iehova.
12 USolomoni wasenikela kuThixo umnikelo wokutshiswa phezu kwe-alithari likaThixo ayelakhele phambi komkoto,
Alaila, mohai aku la o Solomona i na mohai ia Iehova maluna o ke kuahu o Iehova, ka mea ana i kukulu ai imua o ka lanai;
13 kulandelwa umkhuba wemihla ngemihla njengokulaya kukaMosi eqakathekisa iSabatha, lokuThwasa kweNyanga kanye lokwemikhosi emithathu yomnyaka, uMkhosi weSinkwa esingelaMvubelo, uMkhosi wamaViki loMkhosi weziHonqo.
E mohai aku ana i kela la i keia la i ka mea i hoomaopopola'i, a e like hoi me ke kanawai o Mose no na Sabati, a me na mahina hou, a no na ahaaina maikai, ekolu manawa i kela makahiki i keia maka hiki, i ka ahaaina berena hu ole, ka ahaaina hebedoma, a me ka ahaaina kauhalelewa.
14 Elandela isimiso sikayise uDavida wamisa izigaba zabaphristi ngezinkonzo zabo, njalo abaLevi bekhokhela ekudumiseni lokuphathisa abaphristi kusiya ngemfanelo yemihla ngemihla. Wakhetha abalindi bamasango ngezigaba ukulinda amasango ehlukeneyo ngoba yikho okwakutshiwo nguDavida umuntu kaNkulunkulu.
Mamuli o ka manao o Davi da kona makua, hoonoho papa iho la oia i ka poe kahuna e like me ka lakou hana ana, a i na Levi hoi ia a ka lakou oihana e hoolea aku, a e lawelawe imua o ka poe kahuna, e like me ka hana o kela la keia la, a hoonoho papa no hoi i ka poe kiai puka ma kela ipuka keia ipuka, no ka mea, pela ke kauoha a Davida ke kanaka o ke Akua.
15 Kabaphambukanga kulokho inkosi uDavida eyayikutshilo mayelana labaphristi labaLevi kanye lezindlu zenotho.
Aole i paleia'e ke kanawai o ke alii i ka poe kahuna, a me na Levi ma kekahi mea, aole hoi ma na waihonawaiwai.
16 Wonke umsebenzi kaSolomoni wenziwa, kusukela ngosuku lokubekwa kwesisekelo sethempeli likaThixo kwaze kwaba sekupheleni kwawo. Kwaba yikuphela kokwakhiwa kwethempeli likaThixo.
A ua hoomakaukauia ka hana a pau a Solomona, a hiki i ka la o ka hookumu ana i ka hale o Iehova, a i kona paa ana no hoi; pela i paa ai ka hale o Iehova.
17 Ngakho uSolomoni wasesiya e-Eziyoni-Gebheri lase-Elathi ngasemakhunjini ase-Edomi.
Alaila, hele o Solomona i Eziona-gebera, a i Elota ma kahakai i ka aina o Edoma.
18 UHiramu wathumela kuye imikhumbi eyayiphethwe yizinduna zakhe, amadoda ayelwazi ulwandle. Zona, kanye lezinceku zikaSolomoni zaya e-Ofiri, zayathwala igolide elingamathalenta angamakhulu amane lamatshumi amahlanu, zayalethula enkosini uSolomoni.
A haawi mai la o Hurama ia Solomona ma na lima o kana poe kauwa, i na moku a me na kauwa ike i ke kai; a hele pu lakou me na kauwa a Solomona i Opira, a lawe mailaila mai i eha haneri a me kanalima talena gula, a hali mai la io Solomona la i ke alii.
