2 Imilando 2
1 USolomoni wasezimisela ukwakhela ibizo leNkosi indlu, lendlu yombuso wakhe.
Afei, Salomo dwenee sɛ ɛberɛ a ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsi Awurade Asɔredan no ne nʼankasa nʼahemfie no aso.
2 USolomoni wasebala amadoda azinkulungwane ezingamatshumi ayisikhombisa ukuthwala imithwalo, lamadoda ayizinkulungwane ezingamatshumi ayisificaminwembili ukubaza entabeni, lababonisi abayizinkulungwane ezintathu lamakhulu ayisithupha phezu kwawo.
Ɔfaa apaafoɔ ɔpeduɔson, abotwafoɔ ɔpeduɔwɔtwe firii bepɔ so aman mu ne nnipa mpem mmiɛnsa ne ahansia a wɔdi adwuma no anim.
3 USolomoni wasethumela kuHuramu inkosi yeTire esithi: Njengokwenza kwakho kuDavida ubaba umthumela imisedari ukumakhela indlu yokuhlala kuyo, yenza njalo lakimi.
Salomo too saa nkra yi kɔmaa Tirohene Huram: “Brɛ me ntweneduro nnua te sɛ deɛ wɔde brɛɛ mʼagya Dawid ɛberɛ a na ɔresi nʼahemfie 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.
Merebɛsi Asɔredan ahyɛ Awurade, me Onyankopɔn din animuonyam. Ɛbɛyɛ beaeɛ bi a wɔayi asi hɔ sɛ wɔnhye nnuhwam ne kurobo wɔ nʼanim, nna afɔrebɔdeɛ burodo sononko no adi, na wɔmmɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ahodoɔ homeda biara, anɔpa ne anwummerɛ, Ɔbosome Foforɔ biara afahyɛ ahodoɔ ne Awurade yɛn Onyankopɔn nnapɔnna biara. Ɔno na wahyɛ Israel sɛ wɔnyɛ saa nneɛma yi daa daa.
5 Lendlu engiyakhayo inkulu, ngoba uNkulunkulu wethu mkhulu kulabonkulunkulu bonke.
“Yei bɛyɛ Asɔredan a ɛso na ɛyɛ fɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, yɛn Onyankopɔn no yɛ ɔnwanwani a ɔso kyɛn ɔfoforɔ 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?
Hwan na ɔbɛtumi asi efie a ɛfata ama no? Ɔsorosoro mpo ntumi nkora no. Na me sɛɛ ne hwan a mɛsi asɔredan ama no? Deɛ mɛtumi ayɛ ara ne sɛ mɛsi baabi a wɔbɛbɔ afɔdeɛ 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 odwumfoɔ a ne nsa ano adwuma yɛ fɛ a ɔbɛtumi de sikakɔkɔɔ, dwetɛ, kɔbere mfrafraeɛ ne nnadeɛ adi adwini; obi a ɔnim sɛdeɛ wɔhyɛ ntoma aduro ma ɛyɛ bibire, kɔkɔɔ ne tuntum ma ɛyɛ fɛ yie ne nsemayifoɔ a wakwadare adwuma mu, a ɔne Yuda ne Yerusalem adwumfoɔ 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 ntweneduro, pepeaa ne ɔbako nnua firi Lebanon brɛ me, ɛfiri sɛ, menim sɛ wo mmarima no akyi, obi nni hɔ wɔ nnuabuo mu, na mɛsoma me mmarima na wɔabɛboa wɔn.
9 ngitsho ukungilungisela izigodo ezinengi, ngoba indlu engiyakhayo izakuba nkulu imangalise.
Asɔredan a merebɛsi no kɛseɛ ne ne fɛ a ɛbɛyɛ enti, nnua bebree ho bɛhia 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 atokoɔ susukora ɔpeduonu, nsã gyare ɔpeduonu ne edu ne ngo ɔpeduonu bɛtua 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 twerɛɛ saa mmuaeɛ yi de kɔmaa Salomo: “Esiane sɛ Awurade dɔ ne nkurɔfoɔ enti na ɔde wo asi wɔn so ɔhene.
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 Onyankopɔn a ɔbɔɔ soro ne asase! Wama Dawid ɔba nyansafoɔ a wadom no adwene ne nteaseɛ a ɔbɛsi Asɔredan ama Awurade ne ahemfie ama nʼankasa ho.
13 Khathesi sengithuma indoda eyingcitshi eyazi ukuqedisisa, uHuramu Abhi,
“Merebrɛ wo odwumfoɔ a ne nsa ano adwuma yɛ fɛ a wɔfrɛ no Huram-Abi. Ɔyɛ onyansafoɔ mapa
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 ɔbaa bi a ɔfiri Dan a ɛwɔ Israel babarima; nʼagya nso firi Tiro. Ɔyɛ sikakɔkɔɔ, dwetɛ, kɔbere mfrafraeɛ ne nnadeɛ dwumfoɔ mapa. Na ɔwɔ abotwa, nnua adwinnie ne ntomanwono ho nyansa nso. Ɔyɛ ɔbenfoɔ wɔ ntoma bibire, tuntum ne kɔkɔɔ hyɛ mu. Na ɔtumi de serekyetam di dwuma nso. Afei nso, ɔyɛ nsemayifoɔ a ɔtumi di adwini biara a wɔde ma no. Ɔne wʼadwumfoɔ 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 atokoɔ, ngo ne nsã 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, yɛbɛtwa afiri Lebanon mmepɔ so, na yɛde ayɛ mpata agu nsuo ani, firi Ntam Ɛpo no mpoano akɔsi Yopa. Na ɛfiri hɔ no, wobɛtumi 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 ahɔhoɔ dodoɔ a wɔwɔ Israel asase so, te sɛ deɛ nʼagya kenkanee nnipa no. Ɔnyaa nnipa ɔpeha aduonum mmiɛnsa 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 ɔpeduɔson yɛɛ apaafoɔ. Wɔn mu ɔpeduɔwɔtwe yɛɛ abotwafoɔ wɔ wɔn mmepɔ nkuro no so, ɛnna wɔn mu mpem mmiɛnsa ne ahansia yɛɛ wɔn a wɔdi nnwuma no anim.
