2 Imilando 5
1 Usuphelile umsebenzi wonke uSolomoni ayewenzela indlu yeNkosi, wangenisa izinto ezingcwelisiweyo zikaDavida uyise, lesiliva legolide lazo zonke izitsha wazibeka esiphaleni senotho sendlu kaNkulunkulu.
PELA i paa ai na mea a pau a Solomona i hana'i no ka hale o Iehova; a hookomo o Solomona i na mea a Davida, a kona makua kane i hoolaa ai, i ke kala a me ke gula, a me na ipu a pau, a waiho iho la iloko o ka waihonawaiwai o ke Akua.
2 Ngalesosikhathi uSolomoni wabuthanisa eJerusalema abadala bakoIsrayeli, lazo zonke inhloko zezizwe, izinduna zaboyise babantwana bakoIsrayeli, ukuthi benyuse umtshokotsho wesivumelwano seNkosi usuke emzini kaDavida oyiZiyoni.
Alaila, hoakoakoa o Solomona i na lunakahiko o ka Iseraela, a me ka poe koikoi o na ohana, i na kaukaualii, a me na makualii no na mamo a Iseraela, i Ierusalema, e lawe i ka pahu o ka berita o Iehova mai ke kulanakauhale o Davida, mai Ziona mai.
3 Wonke amadoda akoIsrayeli asebuthana enkosini emkhosini owenyanga yesikhombisa.
A hoakoakoaia e ke alii na kanaka a pau loa o ka Iseraela i ka ahaaina i ka malama ehiku.
4 Labo bonke abadala bakoIsrayeli beza, amaLevi asewuthwala umtshokotsho,
A hiki mai la ka poe lunakahiko o ka Iseraela, a hapai ae la na Levi i ka pahu.
5 awuletha umtshokotsho lethente lenhlangano lazo zonke izitsha ezingcwele ezazisethenteni; abapristi lamaLevi basebekwenyusa.
Lawe lakou i ka pahu, a me ka halelewa o ke anainakanaka, a me na ipu hoano a pau, aia no iloko o ka halelewa; na ka poe kahuna, na ka Levi i lawe.
6 Inkosi uSolomoni lenhlangano yonke yakoIsrayeli eyayibuthene phambi komtshokotsho basebenikela imihlatshelo yezimvu lezinkabi ezingelakubhalwa lezingelakubalwa ngobunengi.
A o ke alii, o Solomona a me ka ahakanaka a pau o ka Iseraela i hoakoakoaia io na la imua o ka pa hu berita, mohai aku lakou i na hi pa, a me na bipi i pau ole i ka heluia no ka nui loa.
7 Abapristi basebewungenisa umtshokotsho wesivumelwano seNkosi endaweni yawo, endaweni yelizwi yendlu, kungcwele yezingcwele, kwaze kwaba ngaphansi kwempiko zamakherubhi.
Alaila, hookomo ka poe kahuna i ka pahu berita o Iehova i kona wahi, i kahi hoano o ka hale, kahi hoano loa malalo iho o na eheu o na kerubima.
8 Ngoba amakherubhi elulela impiko zawo phezu kwendawo yomtshokotsho; amakherubhi awembesa umtshokotsho lemijabo yawo ngaphezulu.
Ua hoholaia na eheu o na kerubima ma kahi o ka pahu, a ua uhi na kerubima i ka pahu, a me kona mau laau auamo maluna iho.
9 Basebeselula imijabo, izihloko zemijabo zaze zabonakala emtshokotshweni phambi kwendawo yelizwi, kodwa zingabonakali ngaphandle; ukhona lapho-ke kuze kube lamuhla.
A huki mai lakou i na laau auamo, a ua ikea na poo o na laau auamo, mai ka pahu, a imua o kahi hoano, aole i ikeia mawaho. A aia no ia a hiki i neia la.
10 Kwakungelalutho emtshokotshweni, ngaphandle kwezibhebhe ezimbili uMozisi azifaka khona eHorebe lapho iNkosi eyenza khona isivumelwano labantwana bakoIsrayeli ekuphumeni kwabo eGibhithe.
Aohe mea e iloko o ka pahu, o na papa elua wale no a Mose i hookomo ai iloko ma Horeba, i ka manawa i hoohiki ai ke Akua me ka poe mamo a Iseraela i ko lakou hele ana mai Aigupita mai.
11 Kwasekusithi abapristi bephuma endaweni engcwele, ngoba bonke abapristi abatholakalayo babezihlambulule bengagcinanga izigaba,
A puka mai ka poe kahuna mai kahi hoano mai, (no ka mea ua huikalaia na kahuna a pau loa, aole lakou i ku papa ia manawa:
12 lamaLevi angabahlabeleli babo bonke - akoAsafi, akoHemani, akoJeduthuni, lakumadodana abo lakubafowabo - begqoke amalembu acolekileyo amhlophe, belezinsimbi ezincencethayo lezigubhu zezintambo lamachacho, bema ngempumalanga kwelathi; njalo kanye labo kulabapristi abalikhulu lamatshumi amabili bekhalisa izimpondo.
A o na Levi, ka poe himeni a pau na Asapa, na Hemana, na Iedutuna, a me ka lakou poe keiki, a me ko lakou poe hoahanau i aahuia i ka ie olona maikai me na kimebala, a me na pesaleteri, a me na lira, ku lakou imua o ke kuahu, a me lakou pu na kahuna he haneri a me ka iwakalua, e hookani ana i na pu.)
13 Kwasekusithi bekhalisa izimpondo behlabelela kanyekanye ukuzwakalisa umsindo owodwa, ukudumisa lokubonga iNkosi, lalapho bephakamisa ilizwi ngezimpondo langezinsimbi ezincencethayo lezinto zokuhlabelela, lalapho bedumisa iNkosi ukuthi ilungile lokuthi umusa wayo umi kuze kube phakade, indlu yagcwaliswa liyezi, indlu yeNkosi,
A lokahi ka manao o ka poe hookani i ka pu, a me ka poe himeni me ka leo hookahi, e hoolea aku, a e hoomaikai aku ia Iehova, a hookiekie lakou i ka leo me na pu, a me na kimebala a me na mea kani e ae; a i ko lakou hoolea ana'ku ia Iehova. No ka mea, ua maikai no ia, ua mau loa kona aloha: aia hoi, na hoopihaia ka hale i ke ao, ka hale o Iehova.
14 abapristi kabaze baba lakho ukuma ukukhonza ngenxa yeyezi, ngoba inkazimulo yeNkosi yagcwalisa indlu kaNkulunkulu.
Aole i hiki i na kahuna ke ku a e lawelawe imua o ke ao; no ka mea, ua piha ka hale o ke Akua i ka nani o Iehova.
