UDavide ukhuluma nabantu
1UDavide wayenazo zonke izinduna zakwa-Israyeli, izinduna zezizwe nezinduna zezigaba ezikhonza inkosi, nezinduna zezinkulungwane, nezinduna zamakhulu, nababonisi bazo zonke izimpahla nempahla yenkosi, nabanye. Emadodaneni akhe, nababonisi, nabanye bamaqhawe, nawo onke amaqhawe, kwaze kwaba seJerusalema.
2Inkosi uDavida yasisukuma yathi: Ngizweni, bafowethu labantu bami! isenabelo sezinyawo zikaNkulunkulu wethu, salungiselelwa ukwakha.
3Kodwa uNkulunkulu wathi kimi: Kawuyikwakhela ibizo lami indlu, ngoba wawuyiqhawe, wachitha igazi.
4Kepha uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli wangikhetha phezu kwayo yonke indlu kababa ukuba ngibe yinkosi kwa-Israyeli kuze kube phakade, ngokuba wakhetha uJuda ukuba abe ngumbusi; nendlu kaJuda, indlu kababa; futhi phakathi kwamadodana kababa wayethanda ukuthi ngizenze inkosi phezu kukaIsrayeli wonke.
5Kuwo wonke amadodana ami, ngokuba uJehova wangipha amadodana amaningi, wakhetha uSolomoni indodana yami ukuba ahlale esihlalweni sobukhosi sombuso kaJehova kwa-Israyeli.
6Wathi kimi: USolomoni indodana yakho, nguyena oyakwakha indlu yami namagceke ami, ngokuba ngimkhethile ukuba abe yindodana yami, mina ngibe nguyise kuyo.
7Ngiyakuqinisa umbuso wakhe kuze kube phakade, uma ephikelela ukwenza imiyalo yami nezimiso zami njenganamuhla.
8Ngakho-ke, phambi kwamehlo ka-Israyeli wonke, bambani umhlangano kaJehova nasezindlebeni zikaNkulunkulu wethu, nifune yonke imiyalo kaJehova uNkulunkulu wenu, ukuze nilidle leli zwe elihle, nilisebenzise. Kube ‘yifa labantwana bakho kuze kube phakade emva kwakho.
9Wena-ke, ndodana yami, Solomoni, yazi wena uNkulunkulu kayihlo, umkhonze ngenhliziyo epheleleyo langengqondo evumayo; ngokuba uJehova uhlola zonke izinhliziyo, uqonda yonke imicabango yemicabango; uma nimfuna, niyotholwa; kepha uma umshiya, uyakukulahla kuze kube phakade.
10Qaphelani manje; ngokuba uJehova ukukhethile ukuba wakhe indlu yendlu engcwele; qina ukwenze.
11UDavida wasenika uSolomoni indodana yakhe isibonelo sevaranda, lezindlu zakhe, lengcebo yakhe, leamakamelo akhe angaphezulu, lamakamelo akhe angaphakathi, lendawo yesihlalo somusa,
12nesibonelo sakho konke ayenakho ngomoya, samagceke endlu kaJehova, nesawo wonke amakamelo nxazonke, nengcebo yendlu kaNkulunkulu, neyengcebo yezipho ezingcwele;
13nezigaba zabapristi namaLevi nezawo wonke umsebenzi wenkonzo yendlu kaJehova nezazo zonke izinto zenkonzo yendlu kaJehova.
14Wanika igolide ngesisindo sezinto zegolide, lazo zonke izinto zokusebenza zenkonzo yonke; nesiliva lazo zonke izinto zesiliva ngesisindo, lazo zonke izitsha zenkonzo yenkonzo;
15Isisindo sezinti zezibani zegolide nezibani zazo zegolide ngokwesisindo salolo luthi lwesibani nezibani zalo; nezinti zezibani zesiliva ngesisindo sothi lwezibani nezibani zalo njengomsebenzi walolo nalolo luthi lwesibani.
16Ngesisindo wakhipha igolide lamatafula ezinkwa zokubukwa, itafula ngalinye; kanjalo nesiliva lamatafula esiliva;
17negolide elicwengekileyo lamagumbi enyama, nezitsha, nezindebe; nezitsha zegolide ngesisindo sezitsha ngazinye; nenani lesiliva ngesisindo sawo wonke umcengezi wesiliva.
18Ne-altare lempepho ngesisindo segolide elicwengekileyo; negolide njengesibonelo senqola yamakherubi ayelule amaphiko awo, asibekela umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova.
19“Konke lokho,” kusho uDavide, “uJehova wangiqondisa ngokulotshwa ngesandla sakhe phezu kwami, zonke izenzo zalesi sibonelo.
20UDavide wayesethi kuSolomoni indodana yakhe: “Qina, ume isibindi, ukwenze; ungesabi, ungapheli amandla, ngokuba uJehova uNkulunkulu, uNkulunkulu wami, unawe; akayikukuyeka, akushiye, uze uqede wonke umsebenzi wenkonzo yendlu kaJehova.
21Bheka, izigaba zabapristi namaLevi ziyakuba nawe kuyo yonke inkonzo yendlu kaNkulunkulu; futhi izikhulu kanye nabo bonke abantu bayoba ngokuvumelana nawe ngokuphelele.
