1 Dhavhidhi akarayira vabati veIsraeri vose kuti vaungane paJerusarema: vabati pamusoro pamarudzi, vatungamiri vamapoka aishandira mambo, vatungamiri vezviuru navatungamiri vamazana, navabati vaichengeta zvinhu nezvipfuwo zvamambo uye navanakomana vake, pamwe chete navabati vomumuzinda wamambo, varume vane simba nemhare dzose dzakashinga.
UDavida wasebuthanisa zonke iziphathamandla zakoIsrayeli, iziphathamandla zezizwe, leziphathamandla zezigaba ezazisebenzela inkosi, labaphathi bezinkulungwane, labaphathi bamakhulu, labaphathi bempahla yonke labezifuyo zenkosi labezamadodana ayo, lezinduna, lamaqhawe, lawo wonke amaqhawe alamandla, eJerusalema.
2 Mambo Dhavhidhi akasimuka akamira akati, “Teererai kwandiri, hama dzangu navanhu vangu. Zvakanga zviri mumwoyo mangu kuti ndivake imba senzvimbo yokuzororera yeareka yesungano yaJehovha, kuti zvive chitsiko chetsoka dzaMwari wedu, uye ndakaita urongwa hwokuivaka.
UDavida inkosi wasesima ngenyawo zakhe wathi: Ngilalelani, bafowethu labantu bami. Mina, kwakusenhliziyweni yami ukwakhela umtshokotsho wesivumelwano seNkosi indlu yokuphumula, leyisigcabha senyawo zikaNkulunkulu wethu, ngenza amalungiselelo okwakha.
3 Asi Mwari akati kwandiri, ‘Iwe hausi kuzovakira Zita rangu imba, nokuti uri murwi uye wakateura ropa.’
Kodwa uNkulunkulu wathi kimi: Kawuyikulakhela ibizo lami indlu, ngoba wena ungumuntu wempi, uchithe igazi elinengi.
4 “Asi Jehovha, Mwari waIsraeri, akandisarudza kubva kumhuri yangu yose kuti ndive mambo pamusoro paIsraeri nokusingaperi. Akasarudza Judha kuti ave mhuri yangu, uye kubva muvanakomana vababa vangu akafadzwa nokundiita mambo pamusoro peIsraeri.
Kanti iNkosi uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli yangikhetha kuyo yonke indlu kababa ukuthi ngibe yinkosi phezu kukaIsrayeli kuze kube nininini; ngoba yakhetha uJuda ukuba ngumbusi, lendlini yakoJuda indlu kababa; laphakathi kwamadodana kababa yangithanda ukungenza ngibe yinkosi phezu kukaIsrayeli wonke.
5 Pavanakomana vangu vose, uye Jehovha akandipa vakawanda kwazvo, iye akasarudza mwanakomana wangu Soromoni kuti agare pachigaro choumambo hwaJehovha pamusoro paIsraeri.
Lakuwo wonke amadodana ami (ngoba iNkosi yanginika amadodana amanengi) yakhetha uSolomoni indodana yami ukuthi ahlale esihlalweni sobukhosi sombuso weNkosi phezu kukaIsrayeli.
6 Akati kwandiri, ‘Soromoni mwanakomana wako ndiye achavaka imba yangu nezvivanze zvangu, ndichava baba vake.
Yasisithi kimi: USolomoni indodana yakho nguye ozakwakha indlu yami lamaguma ami, ngoba ngimkhethile ukuba yindodana yami, lami ngizakuba nguyise.
7 Ndichasimbisa umambo hwake nokusingaperi kana iye akatsungirira mukuita zvandakarayira nemitemo yangu sezviri kuitwa panguva ino.’
Njalo ngizawuqinisa umbuso wakhe kuze kube nininini uba eqina ukwenza imilayo yami lezahlulelo zami njengalamuhla.
8 “Saka zvino ndinokurayira pamberi peIsraeri yose uye napamberi peungano yaJehovha, uye Mwari wedu achinzwa: Chenjerera kuti utevere kurayira kwose kwaJehovha senhaka kuvana vako nokusingaperi.
Ngakho-ke phambi kwamehlo kaIsrayeli wonke, ibandla leNkosi, lendlebeni zikaNkulunkulu wethu, gcinani lidinge yonke imilayo yeNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu, ukuze lidle ilifa lalelilizwe elihle, lenze abantwana benu badle ilifa lalo emva kwenu kuze kube nininini.
9 “Newewo mwanakomana wangu Soromoni, ziva Mwari wababa vako, uye umushumire nomwoyo wose uye nepfungwa dzako dzose, nokuti Jehovha anonzvera mwoyo uye anonzwisisa chinangwa chipi nechipi chiri mupfungwa. Ukamutsvaga achawanikwa newe, asi kana ukamurasa, iye achakuramba nokusingaperi.
Wena-ke, Solomoni ndodana yami, mazi uNkulunkulu kayihlo, umkhonze ngenhliziyo epheleleyo langengqondo evumayo; ngoba iNkosi iyazihlola zonke inhliziyo, iqedisise konke ukuzindla kwemicabango. Uba uyidinga, izatholwa nguwe; kodwa uba uyitshiya, izakulahla kokuphela.
10 Funga zvino, nokuti Jehovha akusarudza kuti uvake temberi senzvimbo tsvene. Iva nesimba uye uite basa iri.”
Bona-ke, ngoba iNkosi ikukhethile ukuthi wakhe indlu ibe yindlu engcwele; qina, ukwenze.
11 Ipapo Dhavhidhi akapa mwanakomana wake Soromoni urongwa hwebiravira retemberi, dzimba dzayo, matura ayo, makamuri ayo okumusoro, makamuri ayo omukati uye nenzvimbo yokuyananisira.
UDavida wasenika uSolomoni indodana yakhe umdwebo wekhulusi, lowezindlu zalo, loweziphala zezinto eziligugu, lowamakamelo aphezulu, lowamakamelo aphakathi, lowendlu yesihlalo somusa.
12 Akamupa urongwa hwazvose zvakanga zvaiswa noMweya mupfungwa make pamusoro pezvivanze zvetemberi yaJehovha namakamuri ose akapoteredza, pamusoro pamatura epfuma yetemberi yaMwari napamusoro pamatura ezvinhu zvakakumikidzwa.
Lomdwebo wakho konke ayelakho ngoMoya, lowamaguma endlu yeNkosi, lowamakamelo wonke azingelezeleyo, loweziphala zezinto eziligugu zendlu kaNkulunkulu, loweziphala zokuligugu zezinto ezingcwele,
13 Akamurayira zvokuita pamusoro pamapoka avaprista navaRevhi uye napamusoro pebasa rose rokushumira mutemberi yaJehovha, uyewo napamusoro pemidziyo yaizoshandiswa mubasa rayo.
lowezigaba zabapristi lezamaLevi, lowomsebenzi wonke wenkonzo yendlu yeNkosi, lowezitsha zonke zenkonzo yendlu yeNkosi.
14 Akarayira uremu hwegoridhe remidziyo yose yaizoshandiswa mumhando dzose dzokushumira, nouremu hwesirivha yemidziyo yose yaizoshandiswa mumhando dzose dzokushumira:
Wapha igolide ngesisindo ngezinto zegolide, ngempahla yonke yenkonzo ngenkonzo, ngempahla yonke yesiliva ngesisindo, ngempahla yonke yenkonzo ngenkonzo,
15 Uremu hwegoridhe rezvigadziko zvemwenje zvegoridhe nemwenje yazvo, nouremu hwechigadziko chomwenje chimwe nechimwe, nemwenje yacho, maererano nokushandiswa kwechigadziko chemwenje chimwe nechimwe.
lesisindo sezinti zesibane zegolide, lezibane zazo zegolide, ngesisindo soluthi lwesibane ngalunye lezibane zalo, langezinti zesibane zesiliva, ngesisindo soluthi lwesibane lezibane zalo, njengomsebenzi woluthi lwesibane ngalunye.
16 Uremu hwegoridhe retafura imwe neimwe yechingwa chakatsaurwa; uremu hwesirivha yetafura dzesirivha;
Wasenika igolide ngesisindo lamatafula ezinkwa zokubukiswa, ngalelo lalelotafula, lesiliva samatafula esiliva.
17 uremu hwegoridhe rakanatswa reforogo, ndiro dzokusasa nemikombe; uremu hwegoridhe nedhishi rimwe nerimwe regoridhe; uremu hwesirivha yedhishi rimwe nerimwe resirivha;
Lamafologwe lemiganu yokufafaza lezinkezo zegolide elicwengekileyo, langezitsha zegolide ngesisindo saleso lalesositsha, langezitsha zesiliva ngesisindo saleso lalesositsha.
18 uye uremu hwegoridhe rakanatswa nearitari yezvinonhuhwira. Akamupawo mufananidzo wengoro iyo ina makerubhi egoridhe akatambanudza mapapiro awo achifukidza areka yesungano yaJehovha.
Langelathi lempepha igolide elicwengekileyo ngesisindo, langomdwebo wenqola yamakherubhi egolide elule impiko agubuzela umtshokotsho wesivumelwano seNkosi.
19 Dhavhidhi akati, “Zvose izvi ndakazviziviswa zvanyorwa noruoko rwaJehovha uye akaita ndinzwisise urongwa hwake hwose.”
UDavida wathi: Konke lokhu iNkosi yenza ngikuqedisise ngombhalo ngesandla sayo phezu kwami, yonke imisebenzi yomdwebo.
20 Dhavhidhi akatiwo kumwanakomana wake Soromoni, “Simba utsunge mwoyo, uye uite basa iri. Usatya kana kuora mwoyo, nokuti Jehovha Mwari, Mwari wangu, anewe. Haachazokusiyi kana kukurasa, kusvikira basa rose rokushandira temberi yaJehovha rapera.
UDavida wasesithi kuSolomoni indodana yakhe: Qina, ube lesibindi, usebenze; ungesabi, ungatshaywa luvalo; ngoba iNkosi uNkulunkulu, uNkulunkulu wami, ilawe. Kayisoze yakulahla, kayisoze yakutshiya, uze uqede umsebenzi wonke wenkonzo yendlu yeNkosi.
21 Mapoka avaprista navaRevhi akagadzirira kuita basa rose rapatemberi yaMwari, uye murume wose anoda uye ane umhizha hupi nehupi pamabasa amaoko achakubatsira pabasa iri rose. Vabati vose navanhu vose vachateerera kurayira kwako kwose.”
Khangela-ke, izigaba zabapristi lezamaLevi, zenkonzo yonke yendlu kaNkulunkulu; njalo kuzakuba lawe kuwo wonke umsebenzi, wonke oyingcitshi ovumayo kuyo yonke inkonzo, labaphathi labo bonke abantu bazakuba njengokulaya kwakho konke.
