2 Imilando 8
1 Kwasekusithi ekupheleni kweminyaka engamatshumi amabili uSolomoni akha ngayo indlu yeNkosi lendlu yakhe,
A PAU na makahiki he iwakalua, ka wa a Solomona i ku kulu ai ka hale o Iehova, a me kona hale iho,
2 imizi uHuramu ayeyinike uSolomoni, uSolomoni wayakha, wahlalisa abantwana bakoIsrayeli khona.
Alaila, o na kulanakauhale a Hurama i haawi mai ai ia Solomona, kukulu iho la o Solomona ia lakou, a hoonoho malaila i ka Iseraela.
3 USolomoni wasesiya eHamathi-Zoba, wayinqoba.
Hele aku la o Solomona i Hamata-zoba, a lanakila maluna ona.
4 Wakha iTadimori enkangala layo yonke imizi eyiziphala ayakha eHamathi.
Kukulu iho la oia ia Tademora ma ka waonahele, a me na kulanakauhale papaa ana i kukulu ai ma Hamata.
5 Wakha leBhethi-Horoni engaphezulu leBhethi-Horoni engaphansi, imizi ebiyelweyo elemithangala, amasango, lemigoqo,
Kukulu hoi oia ia Betehorana luna, a me Betehorana lalo, na kulanakauhale paa i ka pa, a me na puka a me na kaola;
6 leBahalathi, lemizi yonke eyiziphala uSolomoni ayelayo, layo yonke imizi yezinqola, lemizi yabagadi bamabhiza, laso sonke isifiso sikaSolomoni ayefisa ngaso ukwakha eJerusalema leLebhanoni lelizweni lonke lombuso wakhe.
A me Baalata a me na kulanakauhale papaa o Solomona, a me na kulanakauhalo no na kaa, a me na kulanakauhale no ka poe holoholo lio, a me na mea a pau a Solomona i makemake ai e kukulu ma Ierusalema, a ma Lebanona, a ma ka aina a pau o kona aupuni.
7 Abantu bonke ababesele kumaHethi lamaAmori lamaPerizi lamaHivi lamaJebusi, ababengeyisibo bakoIsrayeli,
A o na kanaka i koe no ka Heta, a me ka Amora, a me ka Periza, a me ka Hiva, a me ka Iebusa, aole no ka poe mamo a Iseraela,
8 ebantwaneni babo ababesele emva kwabo elizweni abantwana bakoIsrayeli abangabaqedanga uSolomoni wabenyusa baba yizibhalwa kuze kube lamuhla.
O na mamo o ka poe i koe ma ka aina, ka poe i pau ole i ka Iseraela, hoolilo o Solomona ia lakou i poe hookupu nana, a hiki i keia la.
9 Kodwa ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli uSolomoni kabenzanga izigqili zomsebenzi wakhe, kodwa baba ngamadoda empi, lezinduna zabalawulimabutho akhe, labaphathi bezinqola zakhe labagadi bamabhiza akhe.
Aka, o ka poe mamo a Iseraela, aole i hoolilo o Solomona i kekahi poe o lakou i poe kauwa no kana hana; no ka mea, he poe kanaka kaua lakou, ho poe luna koa, a he poe luna o na hale kaa a me na holoholo lio.
10 Lalaba babezinduna zeziphathamandla inkosi uSolomoni ayelazo, amakhulu amabili lamatshumi amahlanu, bebusa abantu.
Eia ka poe koikoi o na luna a ke alii a Solomona; elua haneri a me kanalima, ka poe i hoonohoia maluna o na kanaka.
11 USolomoni wasesenyusa indodakazi kaFaro emzini kaDavida, wayisa endlini ayeyakhele yona, ngoba wathi: Umkami kayikuhlala endlini kaDavida inkosi yakoIsrayeli, ngoba izindawo zingcwele umtshokotsho weNkosi oze kizo.
A alakai o Solomona i ke kaikamahine a Parao mai ke kulanakauhale o Davida mai a i ka hale ana i kukulu ai nona; no ka mea, olelo iho la oia, Aole e noho ka'u wahine ma ka hale o Davida, ke alii o ka Iseraela, no ka mea, ua laa ia mau wahi, kahi i komo ai ka pahu o Iehova.
12 Ngalesosikhathi uSolomoni wanikela eNkosini iminikelo yokutshiswa phezu kwelathi leNkosi ayelakhile phambi kwekhulusi.
Alaila, mohai aku la o Solomona i na mohai ia Iehova maluna o ke kuahu o Iehova, ka mea ana i kukulu ai imua o ka lanai;
13 Ngitsho njengokumiselwe usuku ngosuku, enikela njengokomlayo kaMozisi ngamasabatha, langokuthwasa kwezinyanga, langemikhosi emisiweyo, kathathu ngomnyaka, ngomkhosi wesinkwa esingelamvubelo, langomkhosi wamaviki, langomkhosi wamadumba.
E mohai aku ana i kela la i keia la i ka mea i hoomaopopola'i, a e like hoi me ke kanawai o Mose no na Sabati, a me na mahina hou, a no na ahaaina maikai, ekolu manawa i kela makahiki i keia maka hiki, i ka ahaaina berena hu ole, ka ahaaina hebedoma, a me ka ahaaina kauhalelewa.
14 Njengesimiso sikaDavida uyise wasemisa izigaba zabapristi phezu kwenkonzo yabo, lamaLevi emilindweni yawo ukudumisa lokukhonza phambi kwabapristi njengodaba losuku ngosuku lwalo, labalindimasango ezigabeni zabo kusango ngesango; ngoba wayelaye njalo uDavida umuntu kaNkulunkulu.
Mamuli o ka manao o Davi da kona makua, hoonoho papa iho la oia i ka poe kahuna e like me ka lakou hana ana, a i na Levi hoi ia a ka lakou oihana e hoolea aku, a e lawelawe imua o ka poe kahuna, e like me ka hana o kela la keia la, a hoonoho papa no hoi i ka poe kiai puka ma kela ipuka keia ipuka, no ka mea, pela ke kauoha a Davida ke kanaka o ke Akua.
15 Njalo kabaphambukanga emlayweni wenkosi kubapristi lamaLevi mayelana laluphi udaba kumbe mayelana lokuligugu.
Aole i paleia'e ke kanawai o ke alii i ka poe kahuna, a me na Levi ma kekahi mea, aole hoi ma na waihonawaiwai.
16 Walungiswa-ke umsebenzi wonke kaSolomoni kuze kube lusuku lokubekwa kwesisekelo sendlu yeNkosi, njalo yaze yaphela: Indlu yeNkosi yaphelela.
A ua hoomakaukauia ka hana a pau a Solomona, a hiki i ka la o ka hookumu ana i ka hale o Iehova, a i kona paa ana no hoi; pela i paa ai ka hale o Iehova.
17 Ngalesosikhathi uSolomoni waya eEziyoni-Geberi leElothi okhunjini lolwandle elizweni leEdoma.
Alaila, hele o Solomona i Eziona-gebera, a i Elota ma kahakai i ka aina o Edoma.
18 UHuramu wasethumela kuye imikhumbi ngesandla sezinceku zakhe, lenceku ezazi ulwandle, zaya eOfiri kanye lenceku zikaSolomoni, zalanda khona igolide elingamathalenta angamakhulu amane lamatshumi amahlanu, zaliletha enkosini uSolomoni.
A haawi mai la o Hurama ia Solomona ma na lima o kana poe kauwa, i na moku a me na kauwa ike i ke kai; a hele pu lakou me na kauwa a Solomona i Opira, a lawe mailaila mai i eha haneri a me kanalima talena gula, a hali mai la io Solomona la i ke alii.
