2 Berɛsosɛm 7
1 Salomo wiee ne mpaeɛbɔ no, ogya firi ɔsoro bɛhyee ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ne afɔrebɔdeɛ, na Awurade animuonyam bɛhyɛɛ Asɔredan no ma.
Kwathi uSolomoni eseqedile ukukhuleka, umlilo wehla uvela emazulwini, wadla umnikelo wokutshiswa lemihlatshelo, lenkazimulo yeNkosi yagcwalisa indlu.
2 Asɔfoɔ no mpo antumi anhyɛne Awurade Asɔredan no mu, ɛfiri sɛ, na Awurade animuonyam ahyɛ hɔ ma.
Njalo abapristi babengelakho ukungena endlini yeNkosi, ngoba inkazimulo yeNkosi yayigcwalise indlu yeNkosi.
3 Ɛberɛ a Israelfoɔ nyinaa hunuu sɛ ogya no reba fam, na Awurade animuonyam rehyɛ Asɔredan no ma no, wɔn nyinaa hwehwee fam de wɔn anim butubutuu hɔ, sɔree Awurade kamfoo no sɛ, “Ɔyɛ; na nʼadɔeɛ 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 nkurɔfoɔ no nyinaa bɔɔ afɔdeɛ maa Awurade.
Inkosi labo bonke abantu banikela-ke imihlatshelo phambi kweNkosi.
5 Ɔhene Salomo de anantwie ɔpeduonu mmienu ne nnwan ɔpeha aduonu baeɛ sɛ nʼafɔrebɔdeɛ. Enti, ɔhene no ne ɔmanfoɔ 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 Asɔfoɔ no gyinagyinaa wɔn afa, na saa ara na Lewifoɔ a wɔreto dwom sɛ, “Nʼadɔeɛ wɔ hɔ daa!” no nso yɛeɛ. Wɔde nnwontodeɛ a Dawid yɛeɛ sɛ wɔmfa nkamfo Awurade no gyegyee nnwontoɔ no ho. Asɔfoɔ a wɔne Lewifoɔ no di nhwɛanimu no hyɛnee ntotorobɛnto wɔ ɛberɛ a na Israelfoɔ nyinaa gyinagyina hɔ.
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 adihɔ mfimfini a ɛwɔ Awurade Asɔredan no anim ano, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, wɔbɛtumi abɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ na wɔahye sradeɛ a ɛfiri asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ mu no wɔ hɔ. Ɔyɛɛ saa, ɛfiri sɛ, kɔbere mfrafraeɛ afɔrebukyia a na wasi no, na ɛsua ma ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ, atokoɔ afɔdeɛ ne sradeɛ afɔdeɛ 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 Nnanson a ɛdi soɔ no mu, wɔdii Dwanekɔbea Afahyɛ, na nipadɔm fifiri Israel mmusuakuo no nyinaa mu baeɛ. Wɔfifiri akyirikyiri te sɛ Lebo Hamat a ɛwɔ atifi fam kɔsi Misraim asuwa anafoɔ fam no.
Langalesosikhathi uSolomoni wenza umkhosi okwensuku eziyisikhombisa, loIsrayeli wonke kanye laye, ibandla elikhulu kakhulu, kusukela ekungeneni kweHamathi kusiya esifuleni seGibhithe.
9 Ɛda a ɛtɔ so nwɔtwe no, wɔde afahyɛ no kɔɔ nʼawieeɛ, ɛfiri sɛ na wɔde nnanson abue afɔrebukyia no ano na wɔde nnanson nso adi Dwanekɔbea Afahyɛ no.
Langosuku lwesificaminwembili benza umhlangano onzulu, ngoba benza ukwehlukaniswa kwelathi okwensuku eziyisikhombisa, lomkhosi okwensuku eziyisikhombisa.
10 Afahyɛ no awieeɛ no, Salomo maa obiara kɔɔ ne kurom. Wɔn nyinaa ani gyeeɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, na Awurade ne Dawid, Salomo ne nkurɔfoɔ Israelfoɔ adi no yie.
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 ahemfie no sie. Ɔwiee 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 sɛ, “Mate wo mpaeɛbɔ, na mayi saa Asɔredan yi sɛ beaeɛ a wɔmmɔ afɔdeɛ.
INkosi yasibonakala kuSolomoni ebusuku yathi kuye: Ngizwile umkhuleko wakho, sengizikhethele lindawo ukuba yindlu yomhlatshelo.
13 “Ɛtɔ ɛda a, ebia mɛto ɔsorosoro mu, enti osuo rentɔ, anaa ebia mɛma ntutummɛ abɛsɛe mo mfudeɛ 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 nkurɔfoɔ a wɔde me din frɛ wɔn no bɛbrɛ wɔn ho ase, abɔ mpaeɛ, ahwehwɛ me, na wɔadane afiri wɔn amumuyɛsɛm ho a, mɛte wɔ ɔsoro, na mede wɔn bɔne akyɛ wɔn, asa wɔn asase yadeɛ.
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 Mpaeɛ biara a wɔbɛbɔ wɔ ha no, mɛtie,
Khathesi amehlo ami azavuleka, lendlebe zami zilalele umkhuleko walindawo.
16 ɛfiri sɛ, mayi saa Asɔredan yi asi hɔ sɛ me fie daa daa. Mʼaniwa ne mʼakoma 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 deɛ, sɛ wodi mʼakyi sɛdeɛ wʼagya Dawid yɛeɛ, na wotie mʼahyɛdeɛ, 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 wʼahennwa nkɔ. Saa bɔ korɔ yi ara na mehyɛɛ wʼagya Dawid wɔ ɛberɛ a mekaa sɛ, ‘Meremma onipa a ɔbɛdi Israel so ɔhene mmɔ no no.’
ngizaqinisa-ke isihlalo sobukhosi sombuso wakho, njengokwenza kwami isivumelwano loDavida uyihlo ngisithi: Kakuyikusweleka muntu kuwe obusa koIsrayeli.
19 “Nanso, sɛ wogya me, na wobu mmara ne ahyɛdeɛ a mahyɛ wo no so, na wokɔsom anyame foforɔ a,
Kodwa uba libuyela emuva lina, litshiya izimiso zami lemilayo yami engikubeke phambi kwenu, lihambe likhonze abanye onkulunkulu libakhothamele,
20 ɛnneɛ, mɛtutu Israelfoɔ ase afiri mʼasase a mede ama wɔn yi so. Mɛpo saa Asɔredan a mayi asi hɔ a mede hyɛ me din animuonyam no. Mɛyɛ no ahohoradeɛ ama aman nyinaa ahunu.
ngizabasiphuna-ke elizweni engibanike lona, lalindlu engiyingcwelisele ibizo lami ngizayilahla isuke phambi kwami, ngiyenze ibe yisiga lento yokuhozwa phakathi kwezizwe zonke.
21 Ɛwom, saa asɔredan yi yɛ fɛ deɛ, nanso ɛbɛyɛ atantanneɛ ama wɔn a wɔtwa mu hɔ no. Wɔbɛbisa sɛ, ‘Adɛn enti na Awurade ama nneɛma a ɛyɛ hu sei aba nʼasase ne nʼAsɔredan yi so?’
Lalindlu ephakemeyo izakuba yisimangaliso kulowo lalowo odlula kuyo, aze athi: INkosi ikwenzeleni okunje kulelilizwe lakulindlu?
22 Na mmuaeɛ bɛyɛ sɛ, ‘Ɛfiri sɛ, ne nkurɔfoɔ poo Awurade, wɔn agyanom Onyankopɔn a ɔyii wɔn firii Misraim, kɔsomm anyame foforɔ. Ɛno enti, 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.
