1 Amakhosi 6
1 Kwasekusithi ngomnyaka wamakhulu amane lamatshumi ayisificaminwembili emva kokuphuma kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli elizweni leGibhithe, ngomnyaka wesine wokubusa kukaSolomoni koIsrayeli, ngenyanga kaZivi, eyinyanga yesibili, waqala ukwakha indlu yeNkosi.
EIA kekahi, i ka makahiki eha haneri me kanawalu mahope mai o ka puka ana mai o na mamo a Iseraeia mai ka aina mai o Aigupita, i ka ha o ka makahiki o ko Solomona alii ana maluna o ka Iseraela, i ka malama o Zifa, oia ka malama alua, i hoomaka ae ai oia e kukulu i ka hale no Iehova.
2 Njalo indlu inkosi uSolomoni eyayakhela uJehova, ubude bayo babuzingalo ezingamatshumi ayisithupha, lobubanzi bayo babungamatshumi amabili, lokuphakama kwayo kwakuzingalo ezingamatshumi amathathu.
A o ka hale a Solomona ke alii i hana aku ai no Iehova, kanaono kubita kona loa, a o kona laula he iwakalua kubita, a o kona kiekie he kanakolu kubita.
3 Lekhulusi phambi kwethempeli lendlu, ubude balo babuzingalo ezingamatshumi amabili, njengobubanzi bendlu, ububanzi balo babuzingalo ezilitshumi phambi kwendlu.
A o ka lanai mamua o ka luakini o ka hale, he iwakalua kubita ka loa e like me ka laula o ka hale, he umi kubita hoi kona laula mamua o ka hale.
4 Njalo wayenzela indlu amawindi abanzi ngaphandle kulangaphakathi.
Hana iho la oia i na puka makani he ololi kahi malamalama.
5 Futhi emdulini wendlu wakha amakamelo inhlangothi zonke, imiduli yendlu inhlangothi zonke, esenzela ithempeli lendawo yelizwi. Wenza lezindlwana eziseceleni inhlangothi zonke.
Ma ka paia o ka hale a puni i hana'i oia i na keena a puni na paia o ka hale, o ka luakini a me kahi o olelo ai; a hana ae oia i na papa a puni.
6 Ikamelo elingaphansi kwawo wonke, ububanzi balo babuzingalo ezinhlanu, leliphakathi, ububanzi balo buzingalo eziyisithupha, lelesithathu, ububanzi balo buzingalo eziyisikhombisa. Ngoba ngaphandle kwendlu wenza izinciphiso inhlangothi zonke, ukuze imijabo ingagxunyekwa emidulwini yendlu.
O ke keena lalo elima kubita ka laula, a o ka waena, eono kubita ka laula, a o ko kolu ehiku kubita ka laula: no ka mea, mawaho o ka hale i hana i oia i na anuu a puni, i ole e hoopaaia na kaola iloko o na paia o ka hale.
7 Njalo indlu, isakhiwa, yakhiwa ngamatshe ayepheleliswe enkwalini, ukuze kungezwakali isando lehloka, loba yisiphi isikhali sensimbi endlini nxa isakhiwa.
A o ka hale i ke kukuluia'na, ua kukuluia'e ia i ka pohaku i hooponoponoia mamua o ka laweia ilaila, aole ka hamare aole hoi ke koi, aole mea hao i loheia maloko o ka halo i kona kukuluia.
8 Umnyango wendlwana eseceleni ephakathi wawusehlangothini lwesokunene lwendlu; njalo bakhwela ngesikhwelo esibhodayo ukuya kwengaphakathi, lokusuka kwengaphakathi kusiya kweyesithathu.
O ka pukakomo o ko keena waena, aia ma ka aoao akau ia o ka hale: a ma na anuu wili i pii ai lakou a loko o ko keena waena, a mailoko ae o ka waena iloko o ke kolu.
9 Wayakha-ke indlu, wayiqeda; wagubuzela indlu ngentungo lamapulanka emisedari.
Pela ia i hana'i i ka hale a paa, a kau maluna i na kaola a me na papa kedera.
10 Wasesakha izindlwana eceleni kwendlu yonke, ubude bazo buzingalo ezinhlanu, wakuxhuma endlini ngezigodo zemisedari.
Alaila hana iho la i na keena e pili ana i ka hale a pau, elima kubita ke kiekie, a kau iho la lakou ma ka hale me na laau kedera.
11 Ilizwi leNkosi laselifika kuSolomoni lathi:
A hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia Solomona peneia,
12 Mayelana lale indlu oyakhayo, uba uhamba ngezimiso zami, usenza izahlulelo zami, njalo ugcina yonke imilayo yami ukuhamba ngayo, ngizakwenza ilizwi lami kuwe engalikhuluma kuDavida uyihlo;
O keia hale au e hana nei, ina e helo oe ma ko'u mau kapu, a e hana ma ko'u mau kanawai, a e malama hoi i ka'u mau kauoha a pau o helo ma ia mau mea, alaila e nooko iho au i ka'u olelo me oe a'u i olelo aku ai ia Davida i kou makuakane.
13 ngizahlala phakathi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli, ngingabatshiyi abantu bami uIsrayeli.
A e noho no au iwaena o na mamo a Iseraela, aole hoi e haalele aku i ko'u poo kanaka i ka Iseraela.
14 Wayakha-ke uSolomoni indlu, wayiqeda.
Pela i hana'i o Solomona i ka hale a paa ia ia.
15 Wasesakha imiduli yendlu ngaphakathi ngamapulanka emisedari, kusukela kuphansi lendlu kuze kufike emidulwini yophahla, wayembesa ngaphakathi ngezigodo, wendlala iphansi lendlu ngamapulanka amafiri.
A hana iho la oia i koloko o na paia me na papa kedera, mai ka papahehi o ka hale a luna o na paia; a kau ai oia i ka laau maloko, a hoouhi i ko lalo o ka halo mo na papa kaa.
16 Wasesakha izingalo ezingamatshumi amabili emaceleni endlu, ngamapulanka emisedari, kusukela kuphansi kwaze kwafika emidulwini; wayakhela ngaphakathi, esenzela indawo yelizwi, esenzela ingcwele yezingcwele.
A hana iho la oia, ma na aoao o ka hale, he iwakalua kubita, mai ke keehana a hiki i na paia i na papa kedera; hana iho la oia no ia maloko, i wahi e olelo ai, i wahi hoano loa.
17 Lendlu, elithempeli, ngaphambili, yayizingalo ezingamatshumi amane.
He kanaha kubita ka loa o ka hale oia ka luakini i mua ona.
18 Njalo umsedari wendlu ngaphakathi wawubazwe waba zinduku lamaluba avulekileyo; konke kwakungumsedari, kungabonakali litshe.
A o ke kedera o ka hale maloko, ua kalakalaiia he mau kaukama a me na pua mohala: he kedera wale no, aole pohaku i ikeia.
19 Waselungisa indawo yelizwi phakathi endlini ukubeka khona umtshokotsho wesivumelwano seNkosi.
A o kahi e olelo ai, oia kana i hoomakaukau ai ma ka hale maloko, e waiho malaila i ka pahuberita o Iehova.
20 Lendawo yelizwi ephambili, ubude babuzingalo ezingamatshumi amabili, lobubanzi buzingalo ezingamatshumi amabili, lokuphakama kwayo kuzingalo ezingamatshumi amabili; wayihuqa ngegolide elicwengekileyo; wasesembesa ilathi ngomsedari.
A o kahi e olelo ai ma ka mua he iwakalua kubita ka loa, a he iwakalua kubita ka laula, a he iwakalua kubita ke kiekie ona: a hoouhi ae la oia ia me ko gula maemae, a hoouhi ae la i ko kuahu kedera.
21 USolomoni waseyihuqa indlu ngaphakathi ngegolide elicwengekileyo, wenza isehlukaniso ngamaketane egolide phambi kwendawo yelizwi, wasesihuqa ngegolide.
Hoouhi ae la o Solomona i ka hale maloko me ke gula maemae; hana iho la oia i ka paku me na kaula gula ma ke alo o kahi e olelo ai, a hoouhi ae la mo ko gula.
22 Lendlu yonke wayihuqa ngegolide yaze yaphelela yonke indlu; lelathi lonke elisendaweni yelizwi walihuqa ngegolide.
A o ka hale a pau kana i hoouhi ai me ke gula a hiki i ka hoopaa ana i ka hale a puni, a me ke kuahu okoa e pili ana i kahi e olelo ai kana i hoouhi ai me ke gula.
23 Endaweni yelizwi wasesenza amakherubhi amabili ngesihlahla somhlwathi, ukuphakama kwakuzingalo ezilitshumi ngalinye.
A maloko o kahi e olelo ai, i hana'i oia i na keruba elua he laau oliva, he umi kubita ke kiekie.
24 Olunye uphiko lwekherubhi lwaluzingalo ezinhlanu, lolunye uphiko lwekherubhi lwaluzingalo ezinhlanu; kusukela ekucineni kolunye uphiko kusiya ekucineni kolunye uphiko kwakuzingalo ezilitshumi.
Elima kubita kekahi eheu o ke keruba, a elima kubita kekahi eheu o ko keruba; mai ka welau o kekahi eheu a ka welau o kekahi eheu he umi kubita.
25 Lelinye ikherubhi lalizingalo ezilitshumi; womabili amakherubhi ayeyisilinganiso sinye lesimo sinye.
He umi kubita kekahi keruba. Hookahi ana o na keruba elua, ua like ko laua nui.
26 Ukuphakama kwelinye ikherubhi kwakuzingalo ezilitshumi, lelinye ikherubhi lalinjalo.
Ke kiekie o kekahi keruba he umi kubita, a pela ko kekahi keruba.
27 Wasewabeka amakherubhi phakathi kwendlu engaphakathi; njalo amakherubhi elula impiko, kuze kuthi olunye uphiko lwathinta umduli, lophiko lwelinye ikherubhi lwathinta omunye umduli, lempiko zawo zathintana uphiko lophiko ngaphakathi kwendlu.
Hooku ae la hoi oia i na keruba maloko o ka hale iloko loa; a hoholaia'e la na eheu o na keruba, i pa ka eheu o kekahi i ka paia, a pa ka eheu o kekahi keruba i kekahi paia, a iwaena konu o ka hale i pa ai kekahi eheu i kekahi eheu.
28 Wasewahuqa amakherubhi ngegolide.
A hoouhi ao la hoi oia i na keruba me ke gula.
29 Wabaza imiduli yonke yendlu inhlangothi zonke ngemifanekiso ebaziweyo yamakherubhi lezihlahla zamalala lamaluba avulekileyo ngaphakathi langaphandle.
A kalakalai ae la hoi oia i na paia a pau o ka hale a puni i na kii kalaiia o na keruba, a me na laau pama, a me na pua mohala, maloko a mawaho.
30 Iphansi lendlu waselihuqa ngegolide ngaphakathi langaphandle.
A o ka papakeehana o ka hale kana i hoouhi ai me ke gula maloko a mawaho hoi.
31 Emnyango wendawo yelizwi wenza izivalo zesihlahla somhlwathi, ikhothamo lemigubazi kulezinhlangothi ezinhlanu.
A no ka puka o kahi e olelo ai, i hana'i oia i na pani laau oliva, a o ka lapauila a me na laauku, o ka hapalima no ia.
32 Lezivalo zombili zazingezesihlahla somhlwathi, wabaza kuzo imibazo yamakherubhi lezihlahla zamalala lamaluba avulekileyo, wazihuqa ngegolide, wakhandela igolide phezu kwamakherubhi lezihlahla zamalala.
He laau oliva na pani elua, a kalai iho la oia ma ia mau mea i ke kalakalai ana o na keruba, a me na laau pama, a me na pua mohala, a hoouhi ae la ia mau mea me ke gula, a kapili ae la hoi i ke gula ma na keruba a me na laau pama.
33 Ngokunjalo wasesenzela umnyango wethempeli imigubazi yesihlahla somhlwathi, ezinhlangothini ezine.
Pela hoi i hana'i oia no ka puka o ka luakini i na laauku oliva he hapaha.
34 Lezivalo ezimbili zazingezezihlahla zamafiri; impiko zombili zesivalo esisodwa zazigoqeka, lezilenge ezimbili zesivalo sesibili zazigoqeka.
A o na pani elua he laau kaa; a o na aoao elua o kekahi pani e pelu ana ia, a o na aoao elua o ke kahi pani, e pelu ana no ia.
35 Wasebaza kuzo amakherubhi lezihlahla zamalala lamaluba avulekileyo, wakuhuqa ngegolide elendlala kuhle phezu kokubaziweyo.
Kalai ae la hoi oia malaila i na keruba, a me na laau pama, a me na pua mohala; a hoouhi hoi me ke gula i hooku pono ia i ka mea i kalaiia.
36 Wasesakha iguma elingaphakathi ngemizila emithathu yamatshe abaziweyo, lomzila wemijabo yemisedari.
Hana iho la hoi oia i ka pahale loko, me na lalani ekolu o na pohaku i kalaiia, a me ka lalani laau kedera.
37 Ngomnyaka wesine isisekelo sendlu yeNkosi sabekwa, ngenyanga kaZivi.
I ka makahiki ha i hoonohoia'i ke kumu o ka hale o Iehova, i ka malama Zifa.
38 Kwathi ngomnyaka wetshumi lanye, enyangeni kaBuli, okuyinyanga yesificaminwembili, yaphela indlu ezintweni zayo zonke lanjengakho konke ukumiswa kwayo. Ngakho wayakha iminyaka eyisikhombisa.
A i ka makahiki umikumamakahi, i ka malama Bula, oia ka walu o ka malama, ua paa ka hale a me kona mau mea a pau, mamuli o na kauoha a pau nona. Ehiku makahiki no hoi kana hana ana ia.
