1 Imilando 22
1 UDavida wasesithi: Le yindlu yeNkosi uNkulunkulu, laleli lilathi lomnikelo wokutshiswa kaIsrayeli.
Afei, Dawid kae se, “Ɛha ne baabi a wobesi Awurade Nyankopɔn Asɔredan no ne afɔremuka a Israel bɛbɔ so ɔhyew afɔre no.”
2 UDavida waselaya ukubuthanisa abezizweni ababeselizweni lakoIsrayeli; wamisa ababazi bamatshe ukuthi babaze amatshe alungisiweyo okwakha indlu kaNkulunkulu.
Ɛno nti Dawid hyɛ ma wɔfrɛfrɛɛ ahɔho a wɔte Israel nyinaa boaa ano. Ɔma wotwaa abo a wɔde besi Onyankopɔn Asɔredan no.
3 UDavida waselungisa insimbi enengi kakhulu yezipikili zezivalo zamasango leyokuhlanganisa; lethusi elinengi kakhulu elalingelakulinganiswa ngesisindo;
Dawid maa nnade pii a wɔde bɛyɛ nnadewa a ɛho behia ama apon ne mpontare. Ɔmaa kɔbere mfrafrae nso bebree a na wontumi nkari mpo.
4 lezigodo zemisedari ezingelakubalwa; ngoba amaSidoni lamaTire amlethela uDavida izigodo zemisedari ezinengi kakhulu.
Ɔmaa sida nnua pii nso, efisɛ na mmarima a wofi Tiro ne Sidon de bebree abrɛ Dawid dedaw.
5 UDavida wasesithi: USolomoni indodana yami ungumfana, ubuthakathaka, lendlu ezakwakhelwa iNkosi kumele yenziwe ibe nkulu kakhulu, ibe lebizo ibe lodumo emazweni wonke. Ngakho ngizayilungiselela. UDavida waselungiselela kakhulu phambi kokufa kwakhe.
Dawid kae se, “Me babarima Salomo nnyinii, na onni osuahu bi, nanso ɛsɛ sɛ saa asɔredan yi yɛ kɛse, gye din na ɛyɛ anuonyamhyɛ wɔ wiase mmaa nyinaa. Enti mefi ase nnɛ yi ara ayɛ ahoboa ama ne si.” Enti Dawid pɛɛ adansi ho nneɛma bebree guu hɔ ansa na ɔrewu.
6 Wasebiza uSolomoni indodana yakhe, wamlaya ukuthi akhele iNkosi uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli indlu.
Afei, Dawid soma kɔfaa ne babarima Salomo, na ɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ onsi asɔredan mma Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn.
7 UDavida wasesithi kuSolomoni: Ndodana yami, mina-ke, kwakusenhliziyweni yami ukwakhela ibizo leNkosi uNkulunkulu wami indlu.
Dawid ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Me ba, na anka mepɛ sɛ misi asɔredan de hyɛ Awurade, me Nyankopɔn, din anuonyam.
8 Kodwa ilizwi leNkosi lafika kimi lisithi: Uchithe igazi elinengi, walawula izimpi ezinkulu; kawuyikwakhela ibizo lami indlu, ngoba uchithe igazi elinengi emhlabeni phambi kwami.
Nanso Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me se, ‘Woakunkum nnipa bebree wɔ akodi akɛse a wudii no mu. Na esiane sɛ woahwie mogya bebree agu wɔ mʼanim nti, ɛnyɛ wo na wubesi asɔredan de ahyɛ me din anuonyam.
9 Khangela, uzazalelwa indodana ezakuba ngumuntu wokuphumula; njalo ngizayiphumuza ezitheni zayo zonke inhlangothi zonke: Ngoba ibizo layo lizakuba nguSolomoni, njalo ngizanika ukuthula lokuphumula phezu kukaIsrayeli ensukwini zakhe.
Na wobɛwo ɔbabarima a ne bere so asomdwoe ne ahotɔ bɛba. Mɛma asomdwoe abɛda ɔne nʼatamfo a wɔwɔ nsase a atwa ha ahyia no nyinaa ntam. Wɔbɛfrɛ no Salomo. Nʼahenni mu no, mɛma asomdwoe ne ahotɔ aba Israel.
10 Yena uzakwakhela ibizo lami indlu. Yena-ke uzakuba yindodana yami, lami ngibe nguyise; ngiqinise isihlalo sakhe sobukhosi phezu kukaIsrayeli kuze kube nininini.
Ɔno ne obi a obesi asɔredan, de ahyɛ me din anuonyam. Ɔbɛyɛ me babarima na mayɛ nʼagya. Na mɛma nʼahenni ahengua atim wɔ Israel afebɔɔ.’
11 Khathesi, ndodana yami, iNkosi ibe lawe, njalo uphumelele wakhe indlu yeNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho, njengokutsho kwayo ngawe.
“Afei, me ba, Awurade nka wo ho na ɔmma wo nkɔso bere a wudi nʼahyɛde so, na woresi Awurade, wo Nyankopɔn, asɔredan yi.
12 Kuphela iNkosi ikunike inhlakanipho lokuqedisisa, ikulaye ngoIsrayeli, ukuze ulondoloze umlayo weNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho.
Na Awurade mma wo nyansa ne ntease, na woadi Awurade, wo Nyankopɔn mmara so bere a wudi Israel so hene yi.
13 Khona uzaphumelela, uba unanzelela ukwenza izimiso lezahlulelo iNkosi eyakulaya uMozisi ngoIsrayeli; qina, ube lesibindi; ungesabi, ungatshaywa luvalo.
Sɛ wudi mmara ne ahyɛde a Awurade nam Mose so de maa Israel no so yiye a, ebesi wo yiye. Yɛ den na yɛ nnam. Nsuro na mma wo koma ntu.
14 Khangela-ke, ekuhluphekeni kwami ngilungisele indlu yeNkosi amathalenta egolide ayizinkulungwane ezilikhulu, lamathalenta esiliva ayizinkulungwane eziyinkulungwane, lethusi lensimbi okungelakulinganiswa ngesisindo, ngoba kunengi kakhulu; ngilungise lezigodo lamatshe. Uzakwengezelela-ke kukho.
“Mayɛ adwumaden apɛ Awurade Asɔredan no si ho nneɛma, sikakɔkɔɔ bɛyɛ tɔn mpem anan, dwetɛ bɛyɛ tɔn mpem aduanan ne nnade ne kɔbere mfrafrae pii a wontumi nkari mpo. Maboaboa nnua ne abo a wɔde bɛyɛ afasu no, nanso ebia ɛsɛ sɛ wopɛ bi ka ho.
15 Njalo ulezisebenzi ezinengi, ababazi bamatshe, lezingcitshi zamatshe lezezigodo, layo yonke indoda ehlakaniphileyo kuwo wonke umsebenzi.
Wowɔ abo adansifo, nnua adwumfo ne nnwuma ahorow mu adwumfo bebree.
16 Kakulanani legolide, lelesiliva, lelethusi, lelensimbi. Sukuma usebenze; njalo iNkosi ibe lawe!
Wɔyɛ abenfo wɔ sikakɔkɔɔ, dwetɛ adwinni mu, kɔbere mfrafrae ne nnade ho adwumayɛfo. Afei fi adwuma no ase, na Awurade nka wo ho.”
17 UDavida waselaya zonke izinduna zakoIsrayeli ukusiza uSolomoni indodana yakhe, esithi:
Na Dawid hyɛɛ Israel ntuanofo nyinaa sɛ wɔmmoa Salomo wɔ saa dwumadi no mu.
18 INkosi uNkulunkulu wenu kayilani yini? Kambe kayilinikanga yini ukuphumula inhlangothi zonke? Ngoba inikele abahlali belizwe esandleni sami, lelizwe lehliselwe phansi phambi kweNkosi laphambi kwabantu bayo.
Ɔkae se, “Awurade, wo Nyankopɔn ka wo ho. Wama asomdwoe aba wo ne aman a atwa wo ho ahyia no ntam. Ɔde wɔn ama me, nti wɔyɛ Awurade ne ne nkurɔfo nkoa.
19 Khathesi misani inhliziyo yenu lomphefumulo wenu ukudinga iNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu. Sukumani-ke lakhe indawo engcwele yeNkosi uNkulunkulu, ukungenisa umtshokotsho wesivumelwano seNkosi lezitsha ezingcwele zikaNkulunkulu endlini eyakhelwe ibizo leNkosi.
Afei fi wo koma nyinaa mu hwehwɛ Awurade, wo Nyankopɔn. Si Awurade Nyankopɔn kronkronbea sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a, wubetumi de Awurade Apam Adaka no ne Onyankopɔn akronkronne no nyinaa akɔ asɔredan a wɔasi de rehyɛ Awurade din anuonyam no mu.”
