2 Imilando 1
1 USolomoni indodana kaDavida waqina embusweni wakhe, ngoba uThixo uNkulunkulu wakhe wayelaye njalo wamenza waba mkhulu kakhulu.
U A paa ia Solomona, ke keiki a Davida, kona aupuni, a me ia pu o Iehova kona Akua, a hookiekie nui mai la ia ia.
2 Kwathi uSolomoni wakhuluma kubo bonke abako-Israyeli kusukela kubalawuli bezinkulungwane labalawuli bamakhulu, kusiya kubahluleli lakubo bonke abakhokheli bako-Israyeli, abazinhloko zezimuli
Olelo aku la o Solomona i ka Iseraela a pau, i na luna o na tausani a me ko na haneri, a me na lunakanawai, a me kela luna keia luna o ka Iseraela a pau, ka poe koikoi o na makua.
3 kwaze kwathi yena uSolomoni lebandla lonke baya endaweni ephakemeyo yokukhonzela eGibhiyoni, njengoba ithente lokuhlanganela likaNkulunkulu, elalenziwe nguMosi inceku kaThixo enkangala lalikuleyondawo.
A hele aku la o Solomona, a me ia pu ka ahakanaka a pau, i kahi kiekie, aia no ma Gibeona; no ka mea, malaila no ka halelewa o ke anainakanaka o ke Akua, ka mea a Mose ke kauwa a Iehova i hana'i ma ka waonahele.
4 UDavida wayeselethe ibhokisi lesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu lisuka eKhiriyathi-Jeyarimi elisa endaweni ayelilungisele yona, ngoba wayeselimisele ithente eJerusalema.
Aka, o ka pahu berita o ke Akua, ua lawe mai o Davida mai Kiriataiearima aku, i kahi ana i kukulu ai no ia mea; no ka mea, ua kukulu no ia i halelewa no ia mea ma Ierusalema.
5 Kodwa i-alithari lethusi elalakhiwe nguBhezaleli indodana ka-Uri, indodana kaHuri, laliseGibhiyoni phambi kwethabanikeli likaThixo; ngakho uSolomoni lebandla lonke bahamba ukuyafuna intando yakhe khona.
A o ke kuahu keleawe ka mea a Bezaleela ke keiki a Uri, ke keiki a Hura, i hana'i, malaila ia imua o ka noho o Iehova. A imi pinepine o Solomona a me ke anainakanaka ilaila.
6 USolomoni wasesiya e-Alithareni lethusi phambi kukaThixo ethenteni lokuhlanganela wafika wanikela iminikelo yokutshiswa eyinkulungwane phezu kwalo.
A mohai aku la o Solomona malaila maluna o ke kuahu keleawe imua o Iehova, aia ma ka halelewa o ke anainakanaka. A mohai aku la oi'a maluna olaila, i na mohaikuni hookahi tausani.
7 Ngalobobusuku uNkulunkulu wabonakala kuSolomoni wathi kuye: “Cela loba kuyini okufunayo ukuze ngikunike khona.”
Ia po no ikea mai la ke Akua e Solomona, olelo mai ia ia, E noi mai oe i ka mea a'u e haawi aku ai ia oe.
8 USolomoni ephendula uNkulunkulu wathi: “Utshengisile umusa omkhulu kakhulu kubaba uDavida njalo mina usungibeke ngaba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.
I aku la o Solomona i ke Akua, Ua hoike mai oe i ke aloha nui ia Davida i ko'u makuakane, a hoalii oe ia'u mahope ona.
9 Khathesi, Thixo Nkulunkulu, gcwalisa isithembiso owasenza kubaba uDavida, ngoba ungenze inkosi phezu kwabantu abanengi okothuli lomhlabathi.
Ano hoi, e Iehova, e ke Akua e, e hooko mai i ka olelo au i olelo mai ai ia Davida, i ko'u makuakane; no ka mea, nau no i hoalii mai ia'u maluna o ka poe kanaka i like ka nui me na huna lepo o ka honua.
10 Nginika ukuhlakanipha lolwazi, ukuze ngikhokhele lababantu, ngoba ngubani ongabusa abantu bakho abanengi kangaka?”
Ano, e haawi mai ia'u i ka naauao, a me ke akamai i puka aku au iwaho imua o keia lahuikanaka, a komo mai no hoi, no ka mea, ia wai la e hiki ai ke malama i keia poe kanaka nui ou?
11 UNkulunkulu wathi kuSolomoni, “Njengoba lesi kuyisifiso somoya wakho njalo kawucelanga impahla lenotho lodumo, lokubhubha kwalabo abakuzondayo, lokuthi awucelanga impilo ende kodwa ucele inhlakanipho lolwazi ukuze ubuse phezu kwabantu bami engikwenze waba yinkosi yabo,
Olelo mai la ke Akua ia Solomona, No ka mea, aia no ma kou naau keia, aole oe i noi mai i ka waiwai a me ka hanohano, a me ka make ana o kou poe enemi, aole no hoi oe i noi mai i na la he nui loa; aka, ua noi mai oe nou i ka naauao, a me ke akamai, i hiki ia oe ke hoomalu i ko'u poe kanaka maluna o lakou i hoalii aku ai au ia oe;
12 ngenxa yalokho ngizakunika inhlakanipho lolwazi. Njalo ngizakunika impahla, lenotho lodumo, okungakaze kwenzakale emakhosini akwandulelayo njalo akuyikwenzakala lakumakhosi alandelayo.”
Nolaila, ua haawiia ia oe ka naauao, a me ke akamai, a e haawi aku no hoi au ia oe i ka waiwai, a me ka hanohano: aole pela kekahi o na'lii mamua, aole no hoi he mea like mamuli aku.
13 Ngakho uSolomoni waya eJerusalema esuka endaweni yokukhonzela eGibhiyoni, evela phambi kwethente lokuhlanganela. Wabusa phezu kuka-Israyeli.
Hele mai la o Solomona mai kahi kiekio mai, ma Gibeona, a hiki i Ierusalema, maimua mai o ka halelewa o ke anainakanaka, a noho alii iho la ia maluna o ka Iseraela.
14 USolomoni wabuthanisa izinqola zokulwa lamabhiza; wayelezinqola zokulwa ezingamakhulu alitshumi lane lamabhiza azinkulungwane ezilitshumi lambili, ayekugcina emizini yezinqola zezimpi okunye ekugcina yena eJerusalema.
A houluulu o Solomona i na kaa, a me na hooholo lio; aia no ia ia na kaa hookahi tausani, a me na haneri eha, a me na hooholo lio he umikumamalua tausani. A waiho oia ia mau mea ma na kulanakauhale no na kaa, a ma kahi o ke alii ma Ierusalema.
15 Inkosi yandisa isiliva legolide eJerusalema kwangani ngamatshe, lezihlahla zomsedari zanda kwangani yizihlahla zomkhiwa wesikhamore emawatheni ezintaba.
A hoolilo ae la ke alii i ke kala a me ke gula ma Ierusalema e like me na pohaku; i kona imi ana no hoi, nui iho la na laau kedera e like me na laau sukomorea ma ke awawa.
16 Amabhiza kaSolomoni ayethengwe eGibhithe laseKhuwe, abathengi besikhosini babewathenga eKhuwe.
A ua kaiia mai na lio no Solomona mai Aigupita mai, a na na huakai kalepa a ke alii i lawe ma ke kumukuai.
17 Bathenga inqola yempi eGibhithe ngamashekeli esiliva angamakhulu ayisithupha kanye lebhiza ngamashekeli alikhulu elilamatshumi amahlanu. Babuya bawedlulisa wonke bayawathengisela amakhosi amaHithi kanye lawama-Aramu.
A kii aku la lakou a kai mai, mai Aigupita mai, i ke kaa hookahi, no na haneri sekela kala eono, a i ka lio no ka haneri me kanalima. A pela no lakou i lawe mai ai no na'lii a pau o ka Heta, a me na'lii o Suria ma ko lakou lima.
