< 2 Imilando 6 >
1 Ngalesosikhathi uSolomoni wathi: UJehova wathi uzahlala emnyameni onzima.
Mgbe ahụ, Solomọn sịrị, “Onyenwe anyị ekwuola na ọ ga-ebi nʼoke igwe ojii.
2 Kodwa mina ngikwakhele indlu yokuhlala, lendawo yokuhlala kwakho kuze kube nini lanini.
Ma ewuola m ụlọnsọ pụrụ iche, maa mma nye gị, ebe ị ga-ebi ruo mgbe ebighị ebi!”
3 Inkosi yasiphendula ubuso bayo, yabusisa ibandla lonke lakoIsrayeli; ibandla lonke-ke lakoIsrayeli lalimi.
Dịka ọgbakọ Izrel niile na-eguzo nʼebe ahụ, eze chigharịrị onwe ya chee ha ihu, gọzie ha.
4 Yasisithi: Kayibusiswe iNkosi, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, eyakhuluma ngomlomo wayo kuDavida ubaba yakugcwalisa ngezandla zayo, isithi:
Mgbe ahụ ọ sịrị, “Otuto dịrị Onyenwe anyị, bụ Chineke Izrel. Onye ji aka ya abụọ mezuo nkwa ahụ o ji ọnụ ya kwee nna m Devid. Nʼihi na o kwuru sị,
5 Kusukela ngosuku engakhupha ngalo abantu bami elizweni leGibhithe kangikhethanga muzi ezizweni zonke zakoIsrayeli ukwakha indlu, ukuthi ibizo lami libe lapho, kangikhethanga muntu ukuba ngumkhokheli phezu kwabantu bami uIsrayeli.
‘Site nʼụbọchị ahụ m si nʼala Ijipt kpọpụta ndị m, ahọpụtaghị m obodo ọbụla nʼebo ọbụla nke Izrel, ka e wuru m ụlọnsọ ka Aha m dịrị nʼebe ahụ, maọbụ họpụta onye ọbụla ka ọ bụrụ onyendu ndị m Izrel.
6 Kodwa ngakhetha iJerusalema ukuthi ibizo lami libe lapho, ngakhetha uDavida ukuthi abe phezu kwabantu bami uIsrayeli.
Ma ugbu a, a họrọla m Jerusalem ka ọ bụrụ ebe Aha m ga-adị, ahọrọkwala m Devid ị bụ onye ga-achị ndị m Izrel.’
7 Njalo kwakusenhliziyweni kaDavida ubaba ukwakhela ibizo leNkosi, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, indlu.
“Nna m, Devid bu nʼobi iwu ụlọnsọ ukwu nye Aha Onyenwe anyị, bụ Chineke nke Izrel.
8 Kodwa iNkosi yathi kuDavida ubaba: Njengoba kwakusenhliziyweni yakho ukwakhela ibizo lami indlu, wenze kuhle ngokuthi kwakusenhliziyweni yakho.
Ma Onyenwe anyị sịrị nna m, Devid, ‘I mere nke ọma ibu nʼobi, iwu ụlọnsọ ukwu nye Aha m.
9 Lanxa kunjalo kawuyikuyakha indlu wena, kodwa indodana yakho ezaphuma ekhalweni lwakho, yiyo ezakwakhela ibizo lami indlu.
Ma otu ọ dị, ọ bụghị gị ga-ewu ya, kama nwa gị nwoke nke si nʼahụ gị pụta ga-ewu ụlọnsọ ahụ nye Aha m.’
10 INkosi isiqinisile ilizwi layo eyalikhulumayo, ngoba ngivelile esikhundleni sikaDavida ubaba, ngihlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi sikaIsrayeli, njengokukhuluma kweNkosi; sengilakhele ibizo leNkosi, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, indlu.
“Ugbu a, Onyenwe anyị emezuola nkwa ahụ o kwere. A nọchiela m nna Devid, ana m anọdụ nʼocheeze nke Izrel dịka Onyenwe anyị kwere na nkwa. Ewuokwala m ụlọnsọ ukwu nye Aha Onyenwe anyị, bụ Chineke nke Izrel.
11 Ngiwubeke khona umtshokotsho lapho okulesivumelwano seNkosi khona eyasenza labantwana bakoIsrayeli.
Nʼebe ahụ ka m dọbara igbe ọgbụgba ndụ, nʼime ya ka ọgbụgba Onyenwe anyị dị, bụ nke ya na ụmụ Izrel gbara.”
12 Wasesima phambi kwelathi leNkosi maqondana lebandla lonke lakoIsrayeli, welula izandla zakhe.
Mgbe ahụ, Solomọn guzoro nʼihu ebe ịchụ aja Onyenwe anyị, na nʼihu ọgbakọ ụmụ Izrel niile, gbasapụ aka ya abụọ.
13 Ngoba uSolomoni wayenze isitubhu sethusi, ubude baso buzingalo ezinhlanu, lobubanzi baso buzingalo ezinhlanu, lokuphakama kwaso kuzingalo ezintathu, wasimisa phakathi laphakathi kweguma. Wema phezu kwaso, waguqa ngamadolo akhe phambi kwebandla lonke lakoIsrayeli, welulela izandla zakhe emazulwini,
Solomọn ji bronz kpụọ ihe nrigoro ịnọ gwa ọha mmadụ okwu. Ogologo ihe nrigoro ahụ, obosara ya ruru mita abụọ na ọkara mita abụọ na ọkara. Ịdị elu ya ruru otu mita na ọkara. O debere ya nʼetiti ebe mpụta nke ogige ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ. O guzoro nʼelu ihe nrigo ahụ, nʼihu ọgbakọ Izrel niile, gbuo ikpere nʼala, gbasaa aka ya abụọ chilie ha elu.
14 wathi: Nkosi, Nkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, kakho uNkulunkulu onjengawe emazulwini lemhlabeni, ogcina isivumelwano lomusa ezincekwini zakho ezihamba phambi kwakho ngayo yonke inhliziyo yazo,
Ọ sịrị, “Onyenwe anyị, Chineke nke Izrel, ọ dịghị Chineke dịka gị nʼeluigwe maọbụ nʼụwa. Gị onye na-edebe ọgbụgba ndụ ịhụnanya gị na ndị ohu gị, bụ ndị ji obi ha niile na-eso ụzọ gị.
15 ogcinele inceku yakho uDavida ubaba lokho owakutsho kuyo; ngoba wakhuluma ngomlomo wakho usukugcwalisile ngesandla sakho njengalamuhla.
I mezuokwala nkwa niile i kwere nna m Devid, bụ ohu gị. I ji ọnụ gị kwee nkwa a, ma taa, i jirila aka gị mezuo ya.
16 Ngakho-ke, Nkosi, Nkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, gcinela inceku yakho uDavida ubaba lokho owakutsho kuyo usithi: Kakuyikusweleka umuntu kuwe phambi kobuso bami ozahlala esihlalweni sobukhosi sikaIsrayeli; kuphela uba abantwana bakho beqaphela indlela yabo phambi kwami, ukuthi bahambe ngomlayo wami, njengalokho uhambile phambi kwami.
“Ugbu a, O! Onyenwe anyị, Chineke nke Izrel, mezukwaa nkwa niile i kwere Devid nna m, mgbe ị sịrị, ‘Ọ bụrụ na ụmụ ụmụ gị elezie anya bie ndụ dịka iwu m si dị nʼihu m, nʼihe niile ha na-eme, dịka gị onwe gị mere, agaghị achọ onye ga-anọ nʼihu nʼocheeze Izrel nʼime ha.’
17 Ngakho-ke, Nkosi, Nkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, kaliqiniseke ilizwi lakho owalikhuluma encekwini yakho, kuDavida.
Ma ugbu a, Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke nke Izrel, ka okwu gị, bụ nkwa nke i kwere ohu gị Devid bịa na mmezu.
18 Kambe ngeqiniso uNkulunkulu angahlala labantu emhlabeni? Khangela, amazulu, yebo, amazulu amazulu angekwanele; kangakanani-ke lindlu engiyakhileyo?
“Ma ọ bụ ezie na Chineke ga-ebinyere ụmụ mmadụ nʼelu ụwa? Lee, eluigwe, ọbụladị ebe kachasị elu nke eluigwe ezughị ịba gị. Olee otu ụlọ a nke m wuru ga-esi bata gị!
19 Kodwa phendukela emkhulekweni wenceku yakho lekuncengeni kwayo, Nkosi Nkulunkulu wami, ukuzwa ukukhala lomkhuleko inceku yakho ekukhulekayo phambi kwakho.
Ma Onyenwe anyị Chineke m, ṅaa ntị nʼekpere ohu gị, na arịrịọ ọ na-arịọ maka ebere. Nụrụ akwa na ekpere nke ohu gị na-ekpe nʼihu gị.
