2 Imilando 1
1 USolomoni indodana kaDavida waseqina embusweni wakhe, leNkosi uNkulunkulu wakhe yayilaye, yamenza waba mkhulu kakhulu.
U A paa ia Solomona, ke keiki a Davida, kona aupuni, a me ia pu o Iehova kona Akua, a hookiekie nui mai la ia ia.
2 USolomoni wasekhuluma kuIsrayeli wonke, kubaphathi bezinkulungwane labamakhulu, lakubahluleli, lakuzo zonke induna kuIsrayeli wonke, inhloko zaboyise.
Olelo aku la o Solomona i ka Iseraela a pau, i na luna o na tausani a me ko na haneri, a me na lunakanawai, a me kela luna keia luna o ka Iseraela a pau, ka poe koikoi o na makua.
3 USolomoni lebandla lonke laye basebesiya endaweni ephakemeyo eyayiseGibeyoni; ngoba kwakukhona lapho ithente lenhlangano kaNkulunkulu uMozisi inceku yeNkosi alenzayo enkangala.
A hele aku la o Solomona, a me ia pu ka ahakanaka a pau, i kahi kiekie, aia no ma Gibeona; no ka mea, malaila no ka halelewa o ke anainakanaka o ke Akua, ka mea a Mose ke kauwa a Iehova i hana'i ma ka waonahele.
4 Kodwa uDavida wayewenyusile umtshokotsho kaNkulunkulu uvela eKiriyathi-Jeyarimi, wawusa lapho uDavida ayewulungisele khona, ngoba wayewumisele ithente eJerusalema.
Aka, o ka pahu berita o ke Akua, ua lawe mai o Davida mai Kiriataiearima aku, i kahi ana i kukulu ai no ia mea; no ka mea, ua kukulu no ia i halelewa no ia mea ma Ierusalema.
5 Lelathi lethusi, uBhezaleli indodana kaUri indodana kaHuri ayelenzile, walibeka phambi kwethabhanekele leNkosi; uSolomoni lebandla badinga-ke kulo.
A o ke kuahu keleawe ka mea a Bezaleela ke keiki a Uri, ke keiki a Hura, i hana'i, malaila ia imua o ka noho o Iehova. A imi pinepine o Solomona a me ke anainakanaka ilaila.
6 USolomoni wasesenyukela lapho elathini lethusi phambi kweNkosi elalisethenteni lenhlangano, wanikela phezu kwalo iminikelo yokutshiswa eyinkulungwane.
A mohai aku la o Solomona malaila maluna o ke kuahu keleawe imua o Iehova, aia ma ka halelewa o ke anainakanaka. A mohai aku la oi'a maluna olaila, i na mohaikuni hookahi tausani.
7 Ngalobobusuku uNkulunkulu wabonakala kuSolomoni, wathi kuye: Cela engingakupha khona.
Ia po no ikea mai la ke Akua e Solomona, olelo mai ia ia, E noi mai oe i ka mea a'u e haawi aku ai ia oe.
8 USolomoni wasesithi kuNkulunkulu: Wena wenzele uDavida ubaba umusa omkhulu, wangenza ngaba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.
I aku la o Solomona i ke Akua, Ua hoike mai oe i ke aloha nui ia Davida i ko'u makuakane, a hoalii oe ia'u mahope ona.
9 Khathesi, Nkosi Nkulunkulu, kaliqiniswe ilizwi lakho kuDavida ubaba, ngoba wena ungenze ngaba yinkosi phezu kwabantu abanengi ngangothuli lomhlabathi.
Ano hoi, e Iehova, e ke Akua e, e hooko mai i ka olelo au i olelo mai ai ia Davida, i ko'u makuakane; no ka mea, nau no i hoalii mai ia'u maluna o ka poe kanaka i like ka nui me na huna lepo o ka honua.
10 Khathesi ngipha inhlakanipho lolwazi ukuze ngiphume ngingene phambi kwalababantu; ngoba ngubani ongehlulela lababantu bakho abakhulu kangaka?
Ano, e haawi mai ia'u i ka naauao, a me ke akamai i puka aku au iwaho imua o keia lahuikanaka, a komo mai no hoi, no ka mea, ia wai la e hiki ai ke malama i keia poe kanaka nui ou?
11 UNkulunkulu wasesithi kuSolomoni: Ngenxa yokuthi lokhu bekusenhliziyweni yakho, njalo ungacelanga inotho, ingcebo, lodumo, lempilo yezitha zakho, futhi ungacelanga insuku ezinengi, kodwa uzicelele inhlakanipho lolwazi ukuze wahlulele abantu bami engikwenze waba yinkosi phezu kwabo:
Olelo mai la ke Akua ia Solomona, No ka mea, aia no ma kou naau keia, aole oe i noi mai i ka waiwai a me ka hanohano, a me ka make ana o kou poe enemi, aole no hoi oe i noi mai i na la he nui loa; aka, ua noi mai oe nou i ka naauao, a me ke akamai, i hiki ia oe ke hoomalu i ko'u poe kanaka maluna o lakou i hoalii aku ai au ia oe;
12 Inhlakanipho lolwazi ukuphiwe; ngizakunika futhi inotho lengcebo lodumo, angazange abe lakho okunjalo amakhosi ayengaphambi kwakho, langemva kwakho kakuyikuba khona okunjalo.
Nolaila, ua haawiia ia oe ka naauao, a me ke akamai, a e haawi aku no hoi au ia oe i ka waiwai, a me ka hanohano: aole pela kekahi o na'lii mamua, aole no hoi he mea like mamuli aku.
13 Wasebuya uSolomoni evela endaweni ephakemeyo eseGibeyoni waya eJerusalema, evela phambi kwethente lenhlangano; wasebusa phezu kukaIsrayeli.
Hele mai la o Solomona mai kahi kiekio mai, ma Gibeona, a hiki i Ierusalema, maimua mai o ka halelewa o ke anainakanaka, a noho alii iho la ia maluna o ka Iseraela.
14 USolomoni wasebuthanisa izinqola labagadi bamabhiza; wayelezinqola ezingamakhulu alitshumi lane, labagadi bamabhiza abazinkulungwane ezilitshumi lambili; wasekubeka emizini yezinqola, njalo kanye lenkosi eJerusalema.
A houluulu o Solomona i na kaa, a me na hooholo lio; aia no ia ia na kaa hookahi tausani, a me na haneri eha, a me na hooholo lio he umikumamalua tausani. A waiho oia ia mau mea ma na kulanakauhale no na kaa, a ma kahi o ke alii ma Ierusalema.
15 Inkosi yasisenza isiliva legolide eJerusalema kwaba njengamatshe, njalo wenza imisedari yaba njengemikhiwa yesikhamore esesihotsheni, ngobunengi.
A hoolilo ae la ke alii i ke kala a me ke gula ma Ierusalema e like me na pohaku; i kona imi ana no hoi, nui iho la na laau kedera e like me na laau sukomorea ma ke awawa.
16 Wasengenisa ngokuthenga amabhiza avela eGibhithe, ayengekaSolomoni, lelembu elicolekileyo; labathengi benkosi babelithatha ilembu elicolekileyo ngentengo.
A ua kaiia mai na lio no Solomona mai Aigupita mai, a na na huakai kalepa a ke alii i lawe ma ke kumukuai.
17 Basebesenyusa bekhupha inqola eGibhithe ngamashekeli esiliva angamakhulu ayisithupha, lebhiza ngamashekeli alikhulu lamatshumi amahlanu. Ngokunjalo bakukhuphela wonke amakhosi amaHethi lamakhosi eSiriya ngesandla sabo.
A kii aku la lakou a kai mai, mai Aigupita mai, i ke kaa hookahi, no na haneri sekela kala eono, a i ka lio no ka haneri me kanalima. A pela no lakou i lawe mai ai no na'lii a pau o ka Heta, a me na'lii o Suria ma ko lakou lima.
