2 Imilando 7
1 Kwathi uSolomoni eseqedile ukukhuleka, umlilo wehla uvela emazulwini, wadla umnikelo wokutshiswa lemihlatshelo, lenkazimulo yeNkosi yagcwalisa indlu.
Salomo wiee ne mpaebɔ no, ogya fi ɔsoro bɛhyew ɔhyew afɔre ne afɔrebɔde no, na Awurade anuonyam bɛhyɛɛ Asɔredan no ma.
2 Njalo abapristi babengelakho ukungena endlini yeNkosi, ngoba inkazimulo yeNkosi yayigcwalise indlu yeNkosi.
Asɔfo no mpo antumi anhyɛn Awurade Asɔredan no mu, efisɛ na Awurade anuonyam ahyɛ hɔ ma.
3 Lapho bonke abantwana bakoIsrayeli bebona ukwehla komlilo lenkazimulo yeNkosi phezu kwendlu, bakhothama ngobuso babo emhlabathini endaweni egandelweyo, bakhonza bedumisa iNkosi, ukuthi ilungile, ukuthi umusa wayo umi phakade.
Bere a Israelfo nyinaa huu sɛ ogya no reba fam, na Awurade anuonyam rehyɛ Asɔredan no ma no, wɔn nyinaa hwehwee fam de wɔn anim butubutuw hɔ, sɔree Awurade kamfoo no se, “Oye! Na nʼadɔe wɔ hɔ daa!”
4 Inkosi labo bonke abantu banikela-ke imihlatshelo phambi kweNkosi.
Afei, ɔhene no ne ne nkurɔfo no nyinaa bɔɔ afɔre maa Awurade.
5 Inkosi uSolomoni yasinikela imihlatshelo yezinkabi ezizinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili, lezimvu ezizinkulungwane ezilikhulu lamatshumi amabili. Ngokunjalo inkosi labo bonke abantu bayehlukanisa indlu kaNkulunkulu.
Ɔhene Salomo de anantwi mpem aduonu abien ne nguan mpem ɔha aduonu bae sɛ nʼafɔrebɔde. Enti ɔhene no ne manfo no nyinaa buee Onyankopɔn Asɔredan no ano.
6 Abapristi basebesima ezikhundleni zabo; lamaLevi elezinto zokuhlabelela zikaJehova inkosi uDavida ayezenzele ukudumisa uJehova, ngoba umusa wakhe umi phakade, lapho uDavida edumisa ngenkonzo yabo; labapristi bakhalisa impondo phambi kwabo, loIsrayeli wonke wema.
Asɔfo no gyinagyinaa wɔn afa, na saa ara na Lewifo a wɔreto dwom se, “Nʼadɔe wɔ hɔ daa!” no nso yɛe. Wɔde nnwontode a Dawid yɛe sɛ wɔmfa nkamfo Awurade no gyigyee nnwonto no ho. Asɔfo a wɔne Lewifo no di nhwɛanim no hyɛn ntorobɛnto, bere a na Israelfo no nyinaa gyinagyina hɔ no.
7 USolomoni wasengcwelisa iphakathi leguma elaliphambi kwendlu yeNkosi, ngoba wenza lapho iminikelo yokutshiswa lamahwahwa eminikelo yokuthula, ngoba ilathi lethusi uSolomoni ayelenzile lalingenele umnikelo wokutshiswa, lomnikelo wokudla, lamahwahwa.
Na afei, Salomo buee adiwo mfimfini a ɛwɔ Awurade Asɔredan no anim no ano, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a wobetumi abɔ ɔhyew afɔre na wɔahyew srade a efi asomdwoe afɔre mu no wɔ hɔ. Ɔyɛɛ saa, efisɛ kɔbere mfrafrae afɔremuka a na wasi no esua ma ɔhyew afɔre, atoko afɔre ne srade afɔre nyinaa no.
8 Langalesosikhathi uSolomoni wenza umkhosi okwensuku eziyisikhombisa, loIsrayeli wonke kanye laye, ibandla elikhulu kakhulu, kusukela ekungeneni kweHamathi kusiya esifuleni seGibhithe.
Solomo dii Guankɔbea Afahyɛ toaa so nnanson na nnipadɔm fifi Israel mmusuakuw no nyinaa mu bae. Wofifi akyirikyiri te sɛ Lebo Hamat a ɛwɔ atifi fam kosi Misraim asuwa anafo fam no.
9 Langosuku lwesificaminwembili benza umhlangano onzulu, ngoba benza ukwehlukaniswa kwelathi okwensuku eziyisikhombisa, lomkhosi okwensuku eziyisikhombisa.
Da a ɛto so awotwe no, wɔde afahyɛ no kɔɔ nʼawie, efisɛ na wɔde nnanson abue afɔremuka no ano na wɔde nnanson nso adi Guankɔbea Afahyɛ no.
10 Ngosuku lwamatshumi amabili lantathu lwenyanga yesikhombisa waseyekela abantu bahamba baya emathenteni abo, bethokoza bejabula enhliziyweni ngokuhle iNkosi eyayikwenzele uDavida loSolomoni loIsrayeli abantu bayo.
Afahyɛ no awiei no, Salomo maa obiara kɔɔ ne kurom. Wɔn nyinaa ani gyei, efisɛ na Awurade ne Dawid, Salomo ne nkurɔfo Israelfo adi no yiye.
11 Ngokunjalo uSolomoni waqeda indlu kaJehova lendlu yenkosi; lakho konke okwakuvela enhliziyweni kaSolomoni ukukwenza endlini yeNkosi lendlini yakhe wakuphumelelisa.
Na Salomo wiee Awurade Asɔredan no ne ahemfi no si. Owiee biribiara a ɔhyehyɛ too hɔ sɛ ɔbɛyɛ no.
12 INkosi yasibonakala kuSolomoni ebusuku yathi kuye: Ngizwile umkhuleko wakho, sengizikhethele lindawo ukuba yindlu yomhlatshelo.
Afei, da bi anadwo, Awurade yii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ Salomo, na ɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Mate wo mpaebɔ, na mayi saa Asɔredan yi sɛ baabi a wɔmmɔ afɔre.
13 Uba ngivala amazulu ukuze kungabi lazulu, kumbe uba ngilaya intethe ukuqeda ilizwe, kumbe uba ngithumela umatshayabhuqe wesifo phakathi kwabantu bami,
“Ɛtɔ da a, ebia mɛto ɔsorosoro mu, enti osu rentɔ, anaa ebia mɛma mmoadabi abɛsɛe mo nnɔbae anaa ebia mɛma ɔyaredɔm aba mo so.
14 uba abantu bami ibizo lami elibizwa phezu kwabo bezithoba, bakhuleke badinge ubuso bami, baphenduke ezindleleni zabo ezimbi, mina-ke ngizakuzwa ngisemazulwini, ngithethelele isono sabo, ngelaphe ilizwe labo.
Na sɛ me nkurɔfo a wɔde me din frɛ wɔn no bɛbrɛ wɔn ho ase, abɔ mpae, ahwehwɛ me, na wɔadan afi wɔn amumɔyɛsɛm ho a, mɛte wɔ ɔsoro, na mede wɔn bɔne akyɛ wɔn, asa wɔn asase yare.
15 Khathesi amehlo ami azavuleka, lendlebe zami zilalele umkhuleko walindawo.
Mpae biara a wɔbɛbɔ wɔ ha no, metie,
16 Ngoba sengiyikhethile ngayingcwelisa lindlu ukuze ibizo lami libe khona kuze kube nininini; lamehlo ami lenhliziyo yami kuzakuba lapho zonke izinsuku.
efisɛ mayi saa Asɔredan yi asi hɔ sɛ me fi daa daa. Mʼaniwa ne me koma bɛtena ha daa.
17 Wena-ke, uba uhamba phambi kwami njengokuhamba kukaDavida uyihlo, wenze njengakho konke engikulaye khona, ugcine izimiso zami lezahlulelo zami,
“Na wo de, sɛ wudi mʼakyi sɛnea wʼagya Dawid yɛe, na wutie mʼahyɛde, di me mmara nyinaa so a,
18 ngizaqinisa-ke isihlalo sobukhosi sombuso wakho, njengokwenza kwami isivumelwano loDavida uyihlo ngisithi: Kakuyikusweleka muntu kuwe obusa koIsrayeli.
meremma obiara mfa wʼahengua nkɔ. Saa bɔ koro yi ara na mehyɛɛ wʼagya Dawid bere a mekaa se, ‘Meremma onipa a obedi Israel so hene mmɔ no no.’
19 Kodwa uba libuyela emuva lina, litshiya izimiso zami lemilayo yami engikubeke phambi kwenu, lihambe likhonze abanye onkulunkulu libakhothamele,
“Nanso, sɛ wugyaw me, na wubu mmara ne mʼahyɛde a mede ama mo no so, na wokɔsom anyame foforo a,
20 ngizabasiphuna-ke elizweni engibanike lona, lalindlu engiyingcwelisele ibizo lami ngizayilahla isuke phambi kwami, ngiyenze ibe yisiga lento yokuhozwa phakathi kwezizwe zonke.
ɛno de, metutu Israelfo ase afi mʼasase a mede ama wɔn yi so. Mɛpo saa Asɔredan a mayi asi hɔ a mede hyɛ me din anuonyam no. Mɛyɛ no ahohorade ama aman nyinaa ahu.
21 Lalindlu ephakemeyo izakuba yisimangaliso kulowo lalowo odlula kuyo, aze athi: INkosi ikwenzeleni okunje kulelilizwe lakulindlu?
Ɛwɔ mu, saa asɔredan yi yɛ fɛ de, nanso ɛbɛyɛ atantanne ama wɔn a wotwa mu wɔ ho no. Wobebisa se, ‘Adɛn nti na Awurade ama nneɛma a ɛyɛ hu sɛɛ aba nʼasase ne nʼAsɔredan yi so?’
22 Bazakuthi-ke: Kungoba beyidelile iNkosi uNkulunkulu waboyise eyabakhupha elizweni leGibhithe, babambelela kwabanye onkulunkulu, babakhonza babasebenzela; ngenxa yalokho ibehlisele bonke lobububi.
Na mmuae bɛyɛ sɛ, ‘Efisɛ ne nkurɔfo poo Awurade, wɔn agyanom Nyankopɔn a oyii wɔn fii Misraim, kɔsom anyame foforo. Ɛno nti, na ɔmaa saa amanehunu yi nyinaa baa wɔn so.’”
