1 Amakhosi 9
1 Kwasekusithi uSolomoni eseqedile ukwakha indlu kaJehova lendlu yenkosi laso sonke isifiso sikaSolomoni ayethokoza ukusenza,
EIA hoi kekahi, i ka pau ana'e o ko Solomona kukalu ana i ka hale o Iehova, a me ka hale o ke alii, a me ka makemake a pau o Solomona ana i manao ai e hana;
2 iNkosi yabonakala kuSolomoni ngokwesibili njengokubonakala kwayo kuye eGibeyoni.
Ike hou ia'ku la o Iehova e Solomona, o ka lua keia, e like me kona ikeia e ia ma Gibeona.
3 INkosi yathi kuye: Ngizwile umkhuleko wakho lokuncenga kwakho okuncenge phambi kwami. Ngiyingcwelisile lindlu oyakhileyo ukubeka ibizo lami lapho kuze kube nininini; lamehlo ami lenhliziyo yami kuzakuba lapho zonke izinsuku.
A olelo mai la o Iehova ia ia, Ua lohe ae nei au i kau pule a me kou nonoi ana au i haipule mai ai imua o'u; a ua hoano ae nei au i keia hale au i kukulu mai nei e waiho mau loa i ko'u inoa malaila; a malaila mau no hoi ko'u mau maka a me ko'u naau.
4 Wena-ke, uba uhamba phambi kwami, njengoDavida uyihlo wahamba, ngokuphelela kwenhliziyo langokuqonda, ukwenza njengakho konke engikulaye khona, ugcine izimiso zami lezahlulelo zami,
A ina e hele oe ma ko'u alo, me Davida kou makuakane i hele ai, me ka oiaio o ka naau a me ka pololei, e hana i ka'u mea a pau i kauoha aku ai ia oe, a e malama hoi oe i ko'u mau kapu a me ko'u mau kanawai;
5 khona ngizamisa isihlalo sobukhosi sombuso wakho phezu kukaIsrayeli kuze kube nininini, njengokukhuluma kwami kuDavida uyihlo, ngisithi: Kakuyikusweleka kuwe umuntu phezu kwesihlalo sobukhosi sikaIsrayeli.
Alaila e hookupaa au i ka nohoalii o kou aupuni maluna mau loa o ka Iseraela, e like me ka'u olelohoopomaikai ia Davida kou makuakane, i ka i ana'e, Aole oe e nele i ke kanaka maluna o ka nohoalii o ka Iseraela.
6 Uba lizaphenduka lokuphenduka, lina labantwana benu, ekungilandeleni, lingayigcini imilayo yami, izimiso zami, engikubeke phambi kwenu, kodwa liyekhonza abanye onkulunkulu, libakhothamele,
Aka, ina e kapae ae oukou mai ka hahai ana ia'u o oukou, a o ka oukou mau keiki paha, aole hoi e malama mai i ka'u mau kauoha, a me ko'u mau kanawai a'u i hoonoho ai imua o ko oukou alo, a e hele aku oukou a e malama i na akua e, a e hoomana aku ia lakou:
7 khona ngizaquma uIsrayeli ebusweni belizwe engibanike lona, lendlu engiyingcwelisele ibizo lami ngizayilahla phambi kwami; loIsrayeli uzakuba yisaga lento yokuhozwa phakathi kwezizwe zonke.
Alaila e oki aku au i ka Iseraela mai ka aina aku a'u i haawi aku ai ia lakou; a o keia hale a'u i hoolaa ai no ko'u inoa, oia ka'u e ki paku aku ai mai ko'u alo aku; a e lilo ae ka Iseraela i mea e heneheneia, a e hoinoia iwaena o na lahuikanaka a pau.
8 Lalindlu, ephakemeyo, wonke oyedlulayo uzamangala kakhulu ancife, bathi: INkosi ikwenzeleni okunje kulelilizwe lakulindlu?
A i keia hale ka mea kiekie, o ka mea e maalo ae ma ia, e kahaha oia, a e henehene ae; a e olelo ae hoi lakou, No ke aha la e hana mai ai o Iehova pela i keia aina, a i keia hale?
9 Njalo bazakuthi: Ngenxa yokuthi bayitshiyile iNkosi uNkulunkulu wabo eyakhupha oyise elizweni leGibhithe, babambelela kwabanye onkulunkulu, babakhonza babasebenzela; ngalokho iNkosi ibehlisele bonke lobububi.
A e hai mai lakou, No ko lakou haalele ana ia Iehova i ko lakou Akua, ka mea nana i lawe mai i ko lakou poe kupuna, mai ka aina mai o Aigupita, a ua lalau lakou ma na akua e, a ua hoomana hoi ia lakou, me ka malama aku ia lakou: nolaila i lawe mai ai Iehova i keia poino a pau maluna o lakou.
10 Kwasekusithi ekupheleni kweminyaka engamatshumi amabili uSolomoni esakhile izindlu zombili, indlu kaJehova lendlu yenkosi,
Eia hoi kekahi, i ka pau ana'e o na makahiki he iwakalua, a hoopau ae o Solomona i ke kukulu ana i na hale elua, i ka hale o Iehova, a me ka hale o ke alii,
11 (uHiramu inkosi yeTire wayemsekele uSolomoni ngezigodo zemisedari langezigodo zamafiri langegolide, njengesiloyiso sakhe sonke) ngalesosikhathi inkosi uSolomoni yamnika uHiramu imizi engamatshumi amabili elizweni leGalili.
(Ua haawi mai o Hirama ke alii o Turo, ia Solomona i na laau kedera a me na laau kaa, a me ke gula, e like me kona makemake a pau) alaila, haawi aku o Solomona ke alii ia Hirama i na kulanakauhale he iwakalua ma ka aina o Galilaia.
12 UHiramu wasephuma eTire ukubona imizi uSolomoni ayemnike yona, kodwa yayingalunganga emehlweni akhe.
A hele mai o Hirama mai Turo mai e ike i na kulanakauhale a Solomona i haawi ai ia ia; aole hoi oia i oluolu ia mau mea.
13 Wasesithi: Yimizi bani le onginike yona, mfowethu? Waseyibiza ngokuthi ilizwe leKabuli, kuze kube lamuhla.
I mai la ia, Heaha keia mau kulanakauhale au i haawi mai ai ia'u, e kuu hoahanau? A kapa iho la oia ia lakou he aina Kabula, a hiki i keia la.
14 UHiramu wayethumele enkosini amathalenta alikhulu lamatshumi amabili egolide.
Ua hoouna ae la o Hirama i na talena gula hookahi haneri me ka iwakalua, i ke alii.
15 Nantu-ke udaba lwezibhalwa inkosi uSolomoni eyazibuthela ukwakha indlu yeNkosi, lendlu yayo, leMilo, lomduli weJerusalema, leHazori, leMegido, leGezeri:
Eia hoi ka mea i auhau ai o Solomona ke alii, o ka hana i ka hale o Iehova a me kona hale iho, a me Milo, a me ka pa o Ierusalema, a me Hazora, a me Megido, a me Gezera.
16 UFaro inkosi yeGibhithe wayenyukile wathumba iGezeri wayitshisa ngomlilo, wabulala amaKhanani ayehlala emzini, wakhunga ngayo indodakazi yakhe, umkaSolomoni.
Ua pii o Parao ke alii o Aigupita, a ua hoopio ia Gezera, a ua puhi aku ia i ke ahi, a ua pepehi i ko Kanaana, i na mea e noho ana ma ia kulanakauhale, a haawi mai la oia ia i kana kaikamahine, ka wahine a Solomona.
17 USolomoni wasesakha iGezeri, leBhethi-Horoni engaphansi,
A kukulu ae la o Solomona ia Gezera a me Betehorona lalo,
18 leBahalathi, leTamari enkangala elizweni,
A me Baalata a me Tademora i ka waonahele, ma ka aina,
19 lemizi yonke yokugcinela impahla uSolomoni ayelayo, lemizi yezinqola, lemizi yabagadi bamabhiza, lesiloyiso sikaSolomoni ayeloyisa ngaso ukwakha eJerusalema leLebhanoni lelizweni lonke lombuso wakhe.
A me na kulanakauhale papaa a pau o Solomona, a me na kulanakauhale no kona mau kaa, a me na kulanakauhale no kona mau hoohololio, a me ka mea a Solomona i makemake ai e kukulu ma Ierusalema, a ma Lebanona, a me ka aina a pau o kona aupuni.
20 Bonke abantu ababesele kumaAmori, amaHethi, amaPerizi, amaHivi, lamaJebusi, ababengeyisibo babantwana bakoIsrayeli,
O na kanaka i koe o ka Amora, a me ka Heta, a me Periza, a me ka Hiva a me ka Iebusa, ka poe aole no na mamo a Iseraela;
21 abantwana babo ababesele emva kwabo elizweni, abantwana bakoIsrayeli abangenelisanga ukubatshabalalisa, uSolomoni wababutha izibhalwa eziyizigqili, kuze kube lamuhla.
O ka lakou mau keiki i koe mahope o lakou ma ka aina, aole hoi i hiki i na mamo a Iseraela ke luku pau aku, maluna o lakou i auhau ai o Solomona i hookauwa mai a hiki i keia la.
22 Kodwa ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli uSolomoni kenzanga sigqili, kodwa babengamadoda empi, lenceku zakhe, leziphathamandla zakhe, lezinduna zakhe, labaphathi bezinqola zakhe, labagadi bakhe bamabhiza.
Aka, o na mamo a Iseraela, aole o Solomona i hoolilo i kekahi i kauwa paa; aka, he poe kanaka kaua lakou, a o kana mau kauwa, a me kona mau alii, a me kona mau luna, a me na luna o kona mau kaa, a me kona poe hoohololio.
23 Laba babezinduna zabaphathi abaphezu komsebenzi kaSolomoni, amakhulu amahlanu lamatshumi amahlanu, ababebusa abantu ababesebenza emsebenzini.
Eia na haku o ka poe luna hana maluna o ka Solomona hana, elima haneri mo kanalima, e haku ana maluna o ka poe kanaka e hana ana i ka hana.
24 Kodwa indodakazi kaFaro yenyuka iphuma emzini kaDavida isiya endlini yayo ayeyakhele yona. Ngalesosikhathi wakha iMilo.
Hele mai la nae ke kaikamahine a Parao mai ke kulanakauhale mai o Davida, i ka hale a Solomona i kukulu ai nona; alaila kukulu ae la oia ia Milo.
25 Njalo kathathu ngomnyaka uSolomoni wanikela iminikelo yokutshiswa leminikelo yokuthula phezu kwelathi ayelakhele iNkosi, watshisa impepha kulelo elaliphambi kweNkosi. Waqeda njalo indlu.
Ekolu ae la ko Solomona kaumaha ana ma ka makahiki i na mohaikuni, a mo na mohaihoomalu, maluna o ke kuahu ana i hana'i no Iehova, a kuni hoi i ka mea ala maluna o ke kuahu ma ke alo o Iehova. Pela hoi i hoopaa ai oia i ka hale.
26 Inkosi uSolomoni yasisenza imikhumbi eEziyoni-Geberi eseElothi ekhunjini loLwandle oluBomvu elizweni leEdoma.
Hana iho la o Solomona ke alii i na moku ma Eziona-gebera, ka mea o pili ana ia Elota, ma kahakai o ke Kaiula, ma ka aina o Edoma.
27 UHiramu wasethuma emikhunjini inceku zakhe, amadoda emikhumbi, abazi ulwandle, kanye lenceku zikaSolomoni.
Hoouna ae la hoi o Hirama i kona poe kauwa, na mea holomoku i ike i ke kai, me na kauwa a Solomona.
28 Bafika eOfiri, bathatha khona igolide, amathalenta angamakhulu amane lamatshumi amabili, baliletha enkosini uSolomoni.
Holo ae la lakou i. Opera, a lawe mai lakou mai laila mai, i ke gula eha haneri me ka iwakalua talena, a lawe hui ia i ke alii ia Solomona.
