2 Beresosɛm 7
1 Salomo wiee ne mpaebɔ no, ogya fi ɔsoro bɛhyew ɔhyew afɔre ne afɔrebɔde no, na Awurade anuonyam bɛhyɛɛ Asɔredan no ma.
Kwathi uSolomoni eseqedile ukukhuleka, umlilo wehla uvela emazulwini, wadla umnikelo wokutshiswa lemihlatshelo, lenkazimulo yeNkosi yagcwalisa indlu.
2 Asɔfo no mpo antumi anhyɛn Awurade Asɔredan no mu, efisɛ na Awurade anuonyam ahyɛ hɔ ma.
Njalo abapristi babengelakho ukungena endlini yeNkosi, ngoba inkazimulo yeNkosi yayigcwalise indlu yeNkosi.
3 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!”
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.
4 Afei, ɔhene no ne ne nkurɔfo no nyinaa bɔɔ afɔre maa Awurade.
Inkosi labo bonke abantu banikela-ke imihlatshelo phambi kweNkosi.
5 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.
Inkosi uSolomoni yasinikela imihlatshelo yezinkabi ezizinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili, lezimvu ezizinkulungwane ezilikhulu lamatshumi amabili. Ngokunjalo inkosi labo bonke abantu bayehlukanisa indlu kaNkulunkulu.
6 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.
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.
7 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.
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.
8 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.
Langalesosikhathi uSolomoni wenza umkhosi okwensuku eziyisikhombisa, loIsrayeli wonke kanye laye, ibandla elikhulu kakhulu, kusukela ekungeneni kweHamathi kusiya esifuleni seGibhithe.
9 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.
Langosuku lwesificaminwembili benza umhlangano onzulu, ngoba benza ukwehlukaniswa kwelathi okwensuku eziyisikhombisa, lomkhosi okwensuku eziyisikhombisa.
10 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.
Ngosuku lwamatshumi amabili lantathu lwenyanga yesikhombisa waseyekela abantu bahamba baya emathenteni abo, bethokoza bejabula enhliziyweni ngokuhle iNkosi eyayikwenzele uDavida loSolomoni loIsrayeli abantu bayo.
11 Na Salomo wiee Awurade Asɔredan no ne ahemfi no si. Owiee biribiara a ɔhyehyɛ too hɔ sɛ ɔbɛyɛ no.
Ngokunjalo uSolomoni waqeda indlu kaJehova lendlu yenkosi; lakho konke okwakuvela enhliziyweni kaSolomoni ukukwenza endlini yeNkosi lendlini yakhe wakuphumelelisa.
12 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.
INkosi yasibonakala kuSolomoni ebusuku yathi kuye: Ngizwile umkhuleko wakho, sengizikhethele lindawo ukuba yindlu yomhlatshelo.
13 “Ɛtɔ da a, ebia mɛto ɔsorosoro mu, enti osu rentɔ, anaa ebia mɛma mmoadabi abɛsɛe mo nnɔbae anaa ebia mɛma ɔyaredɔm aba mo so.
Uba ngivala amazulu ukuze kungabi lazulu, kumbe uba ngilaya intethe ukuqeda ilizwe, kumbe uba ngithumela umatshayabhuqe wesifo phakathi kwabantu bami,
14 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.
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.
15 Mpae biara a wɔbɛbɔ wɔ ha no, metie,
Khathesi amehlo ami azavuleka, lendlebe zami zilalele umkhuleko walindawo.
16 efisɛ mayi saa Asɔredan yi asi hɔ sɛ me fi daa daa. Mʼaniwa ne me koma bɛtena ha daa.
Ngoba sengiyikhethile ngayingcwelisa lindlu ukuze ibizo lami libe khona kuze kube nininini; lamehlo ami lenhliziyo yami kuzakuba lapho zonke izinsuku.
17 “Na wo de, sɛ wudi mʼakyi sɛnea wʼagya Dawid yɛe, na wutie mʼahyɛde, di me mmara nyinaa so a,
Wena-ke, uba uhamba phambi kwami njengokuhamba kukaDavida uyihlo, wenze njengakho konke engikulaye khona, ugcine izimiso zami lezahlulelo zami,
18 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.’
ngizaqinisa-ke isihlalo sobukhosi sombuso wakho, njengokwenza kwami isivumelwano loDavida uyihlo ngisithi: Kakuyikusweleka muntu kuwe obusa koIsrayeli.
19 “Nanso, sɛ wugyaw me, na wubu mmara ne mʼahyɛde a mede ama mo no so, na wokɔsom anyame foforo a,
Kodwa uba libuyela emuva lina, litshiya izimiso zami lemilayo yami engikubeke phambi kwenu, lihambe likhonze abanye onkulunkulu libakhothamele,
20 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.
ngizabasiphuna-ke elizweni engibanike lona, lalindlu engiyingcwelisele ibizo lami ngizayilahla isuke phambi kwami, ngiyenze ibe yisiga lento yokuhozwa phakathi kwezizwe zonke.
21 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?’
Lalindlu ephakemeyo izakuba yisimangaliso kulowo lalowo odlula kuyo, aze athi: INkosi ikwenzeleni okunje kulelilizwe lakulindlu?
22 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.’”
Bazakuthi-ke: Kungoba beyidelile iNkosi uNkulunkulu waboyise eyabakhupha elizweni leGibhithe, babambelela kwabanye onkulunkulu, babakhonza babasebenzela; ngenxa yalokho ibehlisele bonke lobububi.
