1 USolomoni wasezimisela ukwakhela ibizo leNkosi indlu, lendlu yombuso wakhe.
Salomo hyɛɛ sɛ wonsi Awurade Asɔredan ne nʼankasa nʼahemfi.
2 USolomoni wasebala amadoda azinkulungwane ezingamatshumi ayisikhombisa ukuthwala imithwalo, lamadoda ayizinkulungwane ezingamatshumi ayisificaminwembili ukubaza entabeni, lababonisi abayizinkulungwane ezintathu lamakhulu ayisithupha phezu kwawo.
Ɔfaa apaafo mpem aduɔson ne abotwafo mpem aduɔwɔtwe fii bepɔw so aman mu ne nnipa mpem abiɛsa ne ahansia a wodi adwuma no anim.
3 USolomoni wasethumela kuHuramu inkosi yeTire esithi: Njengokwenza kwakho kuDavida ubaba umthumela imisedari ukumakhela indlu yokuhlala kuyo, yenza njalo lakimi.
Salomo de nkra yi kɔmaa Tirohene Huram: “Brɛ me sida nnua te sɛ nea wɔde brɛɛ mʼagya Dawid, bere a na ɔresi nʼahemfi no.
4 Khangela, mina ngakhela ibizo leNkosi uNkulunkulu wami indlu, ukuyehlukanisela yona, ukutshisa phambi kwayo impepha elephunga elimnandi, lezinkwa zokubukiswa njalonjalo, leminikelo yokutshiswa ekuseni lantambama, ngamasabatha, lekuthwaseni kwezinyanga, langemikhosi emisiweyo yeNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu. Lesi yisimiso saphakade kuIsrayeli.
Merebesi Asɔredan ahyɛ Awurade, me Nyankopɔn din anuonyam. Ɛbɛyɛ baabi bi a wɔayi asi hɔ sɛ wɔnhyew nnuhuam ne kurobow wɔ nʼanim, nna afɔrebɔde brodo sononko no adi, na wɔmmɔ ɔhyew afɔre ahorow homeda biara, anɔpa ne anwummere, Ɔsram Foforo biara afahyɛ ahorow ne Awurade yɛn Nyankopɔn nnapɔnna biara. Ɔno na wahyɛ Israel sɛ wɔnyɛ saa nneɛma yi daa daa.
5 Lendlu engiyakhayo inkulu, ngoba uNkulunkulu wethu mkhulu kulabonkulunkulu bonke.
“Eyi bɛyɛ Asɔredan a ɛso na ɛyɛ fɛ, efisɛ yɛn Nyankopɔn no yɛ ɔnwonwani a ɔso kyɛn ɔfoforo biara.
6 Kodwa ngubani ongaba lamandla okumakhela indlu, ngoba amazulu, yebo, amazulu amazulu, angemanele? Mina-ke ngingubani ukuthi ngimakhele indlu, ngaphandle kokutshisa impepha phambi kwakhe?
Hena na obetumi asi ofi a ɛfata ama no? Ɔsorosoro mpo ntumi nkora no. Na me sɛɛ ne hena a mesi asɔredan ama no? Nea metumi ayɛ ara ne sɛ mesi baabi a wɔbɛbɔ afɔre ama no.
7 Ngakho-ke thuma kimi umuntu oyingcitshi ekusebenzeni ngegolide langesiliva langethusi langensimbi langokuyibubende langokubomvu langokuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, lokwaziyo ukubaza okubazwe ngokugujwa, labazingcitshi abalami koJuda leJerusalema, uDavida ubaba abamisayo.
“Enti ma me odwumfo a ne nsa ano adwuma yɛ fɛ a obetumi de sikakɔkɔɔ, dwetɛ, kɔbere mfrafrae ne nnade adi adwinni; obi a onim sɛnea wɔhyɛ ntama aduru ma ɛyɛ bibiri, kɔkɔɔ ne tuntum ma ɛyɛ fɛ yiye ne sika dwumfo a wakwadaw adwuma mu, a ɔne Yuda ne Yerusalem adwumfo a mʼagya Dawid yii wɔn no bɛyɛ adwuma.
8 Ngithumela njalo izigodo zemisedari, amafiri, lama-aligumi ezivela eLebhanoni; ngoba mina ngiyazi ukuthi inceku zakho ziyakwazi ukugamula izihlahla zeLebhanoni; khangela-ke, inceku zami zizakuba lenceku zakho;
“Afei, fa sida, ɔpepaw ne ɔbako nnua fi Lebanon brɛ me, efisɛ, minim sɛ wo mmarima no akyi no, obi nni hɔ wɔ nnuabu mu; na mɛsoma me mmarima na wɔabɛboa wɔn.
9 ngitsho ukungilungisela izigodo ezinengi, ngoba indlu engiyakhayo izakuba nkulu imangalise.
Asɔredan a merebesi no kɛse ne ne fɛ a ɛbɛyɛ nti, nnua bebree ho behia me.
10 Khangela-ke, inceku zakho, abagamuli abagamula izihlahla, ngizazinika amakhori engqoloyi echoliweyo azinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili, lamakhori ebhali azinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili, lamabhathi ewayini azinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili, lamabhathi amafutha azinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili.
Mede atoko susukoraa mpem aduonu, nsa gyare mpem aduonu ne du ne ngo mpem aduonu betua wo mmarima no ka.”
11 UHuramu inkosi yeTire wasephendula ngokubhala akuthumela kuSolomoni: Ngoba uJehova uthanda abantu bakhe, ukubeke waba yinkosi phezu kwabo.
Ɛnna ɔhene Huram kyerɛw saa mmuae yi de kɔmaa Salomo: “Esiane sɛ Awurade dɔ ne nkurɔfo nti na ɔde wo asi wɔn so hene.
12 UHuramu wabuya wathi: Kayibusiswe iNkosi uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli eyenza amazulu lomhlaba, enike uDavida inkosi indodana ehlakaniphileyo, eyazi inhlakanipho lokuqedisisa, ezayakhela iNkosi indlu, lendlu yombuso wayo.
“Nhyira nka Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn a ɔbɔɔ ɔsoro ne asase! Wama Dawid ɔba nyansafo a wadom no adwene ne ntease a obesi Asɔredan ama Awurade ne ahemfi ama nʼankasa ho.
13 Khathesi sengithuma indoda eyingcitshi eyazi ukuqedisisa, uHuramu Abhi,
“Merebrɛ wo odwumfo a ne nsa ano adwuma yɛ fɛ a wɔfrɛ no Huram-Abi. Ɔyɛ onyansafo ankasa
14 indodana yowesifazana emadodakazini akoDani, oyise wayeyindoda yeTire; uyakwazi ukusebenza ngegolide, langesiliva, ngethusi, ngensimbi, ngamatshe, langezigodo, ngokuyibubende, ngokuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, langamalembu acolekileyo kakhulu, langokubomvu, lokubaza lakuphi okubaziweyo ngokugubha, lokuqamba lakuphi okuqanjiweyo angakunikwa, kanye lezingcitshi zakho lezingcitshi zenkosi yami uDavida uyihlo.
a ɔyɛ ɔbea bi a ofi Dan a ɛwɔ Israel babarima; nʼagya nso fi Tiro. Ɔyɛ sikakɔkɔɔ, dwetɛ, kɔbere mfrafrae ne nnade dwumfo ankasa. Na ɔwɔ abotwa, nnua adwinni ne ntamanwen ho nyansa nso. Ɔyɛ ɔbenfo wɔ ntama bibiri, tuntum ne kɔkɔɔ hyɛ mu. Na otumi de sirikyitam di dwuma nso. Afei nso, ɔyɛ sika dwumfo a otumi di adwinni biara a wɔde ma no. Ɔne wʼadwumfo ne wɔn a me wura Dawid a ɔyɛ wʼagya no yii wɔn no bɛyɛ adwuma.
15 Ngakho-ke ingqoloyi, lebhali, amafutha, lewayini, inkosi yami ekhulume ngakho, kayikuthumele ezincekwini zayo.
“Fa atoko, ngo ne nsa a wokaa ho asɛm no bra.
16 Thina-ke sizagamula izihlahla eLebhanoni, njengokuswela kwakho konke, sizilethe kuwe ngokundendayo phezu kolwandle eJopha, njalo wena uzazenyusela eJerusalema.
Nnua biara a ɛho hia no, yebetwa afi Lebanon mmepɔw so, na yɛde ayɛ mpata agu asu ani, fi Ntam Po no mpoano akosi Yopa. Na efi hɔ no, wubetumi de akɔ Yerusalem.”
17 USolomoni wasebala wonke amadoda ezizweni ayeselizweni lakoIsrayeli emva kokubalwa uDavida uyise ayewabale ngakho; asetholakala ezinkulungwane ezilikhulu lamatshumi amahlanu lantathu lamakhulu ayisithupha.
Salomo kan ahɔho dodow a wɔwɔ Israel asase so, te sɛ nea nʼagya kenkan nnipa no. Onyaa nnipa mpem ɔha aduonum abiɛsa ne ahansia.
18 Wasesenza kuwo abathwali bemithwalo abayizinkulungwane ezingamatshumi ayisikhombisa, lababazi entabeni abayizinkulungwane ezingamatshumi ayisificaminwembili, lababonisi abayizinkulungwane ezintathu lamakhulu ayisithupha bokwenza abantu basebenze.
Ɔmaa wɔn mu mpem aduɔson yɛɛ apaafo. Wɔn mu mpem aduɔwɔtwe yɛɛ abotwafo wɔ wɔn mmepɔw nkurow no so, na wɔn mu mpem abiɛsa ne ahansia yɛɛ wɔn a wodi nnwuma no anim.
