USolomoni nebutho lonke baya eGibeyoni
1USolomoni indodana kaDavide wamqinisa embusweni wakhe; uJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe wayenaye, wamenza waba mkhulu kakhulu.
2USolomoni wakhuluma ku-Israyeli wonke, ezinduneni zezinkulungwane nezamakhulu, nakubahluleli, nakuzo zonke izikhulu kwa-Israyeli wonke, izinhloko zawoyise.
3USolomoni nebandla lonke bahamba naye baya endaweni ephakemeyo eyayiseGibeyoni; ngoba kwakukhona lapho itende lokuhlangana likaNkulunkulu uMose inceku kaJehova alenza ehlane.
4Kepha umphongolo kaNkulunkulu uDavida wakhuphula umphongolo kaNkulunkulu eKiriyati Jeharimi wayiswa endaweni uDavide ayewulungisele yona, ngoba wawumisele ithende eJerusalema.
5Wabeka i-altare lethusi uBhezaleli indodana ka-Uri kaHure alenzile phambi kwetabernakele likaJehova; uSolomoni nebandla bakufuna.
6USolomoni wakhuphukela khona e-altare lethusi phambi kukaJehova elalingasetendeni lokuhlangana, wanikela phezu kwalo iminikelo yokushiswa eyinkulungwane.
7Ngalobo busuku uNkulunkulu wabonakala kuSolomoni, wathi kuye: “Cela lokho engizakukunika khona.”
8USolomoni wasesithi kuNkulunkulu: Wena wenzele ubaba uDavida umusa omkhulu, wangimisa inkosi esikhundleni sakhe.
9Manje, Jehova Nkulunkulu, mawugcwaliseke isithembiso owasenza kubaba uDavide, ngoba ungenze inkosi phezu kwesizwe esingangothuli lomhlabathi ngobuningi.
10Khathesi ngiphe ukuhlakanipha lokwazi ukuze ngiphume ngingene phambi kwalababantu; ngoba ngubani ongahlulela lababantu bakho abakhulu kangaka?
11UNkulunkulu wathi kuSolomoni: “Ngenxa yokuthi kwakusenhliziyweni yakho, futhi awucelanga ingcebo, nengcebo, noma udumo, noma ukuphila kwezitha zakho, futhi awucelanga ukuphila isikhathi eside; kepha wacela ukuhlakanipha kwakho nokwazi kwakho ukuba wahlulele abantu bami engikubeke inkosi ngabo.
12Ukuhlakanipha nokwazi uyakuphiwa; ngiyakukunika ingcebo, nengcebo, nodumo, amakhosi angaphambi kwakho angazange abe nawo, angabikho omunye emva kwakho.
13USolomoni wayesesuka ohambweni lwakhe, waya endaweni ephakemeyo yaseGibeyoni, waya eJerusalema, esuka phambi kwetende lokuhlangana, wabusa phezu kuka-Israyeli.
14USolomoni wabutha izinqola nabamahhashi, waba nezinqola eziyinkulungwane namakhulu amane nabamahhashi abayizinkulungwane eziyishumi nambili, wakubeka emizini yezinqola nasenkosini eJerusalema.
15Inkosi yenza isiliva negolide eJerusalema kwaba ngamatshe amaningi, yenza nemisedari ibe miningi njengemisikhamori esemathafeni.
16Amahhashi uSolomoni ayenawo aphuma eGibithe nezindwangu zelineni; abathengisi benkosi bamukela ilineni ngentengo.
17Bakhuphuka bakhipha eGibithe inqola ngamashekeli angamakhulu ayisithupha esiliva, nehhashi ngekhulu namashumi ayisihlanu; kanjalo bakhiphela onke amakhosi amaHeti namakhosi ase-Aramu amahhashi ngesandla sabo.
