Utyelelo lokumkanikazi waseShebha kuSolomon
1Ke kaloku ukumkanikazi waseShebha waluva udaba lukaSolomon, olusingisele kwigama likaYehova, weza ukumlinga ngemibuzo elukhuni. 2Wafika eYerusalem enesihlwele esinzima kunene, esineenkamela ezithwele ubulawu, negolide eninzi kunene, namatye anqabileyo. Weza kuSolomon, wathetha naye konke okube kusentliziyweni yakhe. 3USolomon wamtyhilela onke amazwi akhe; akubangakho lizwi lifihlakeleyo kukumkani, angabanga nakumtyhilela lona.
4Wabubona ukumkanikazi waseShebha bonke ubulumko bukaSolomon, nendlu abeyakhile, 5nokudla kwetafile yakhe, nokuhlala kwabakhonzi bakhe, nokuma kwabalungiseleli bakhe, nezambatho zabo, nabangcamli bakhe, nezinyuko zakhe abenyuka ngazo ukuya endlwini kaYehova; akwaba sabakho kuqina kwamxhelo kuye. 6Wathi kukumkani, Libe liyinene ilizwi endaliva, ezweni lam, lezinto zakho nobulumko bakho. 7Andikholwanga ngamazwi lawo, ndada ndeza, abona amehlo am; ùyabona, bendingaxelelwanga nesiqingatha esi. Ùlugqithile ngobulumko nangokulunga udada ebendiluvile. 8Anoyolo amadoda akho, banoyolo aba bakhonzi bakho bemiyo phambi kwakho amaxesha onke, bebuva ubulumko bakho. 9Makabongwe uYehova uThixo wakho, okunoneleleyo, wakubeka etroneni yakwaSirayeli ngokuwathanda kwakhe amaSirayeli ngonaphakade, wakumisa waba ngukumkani, ukuba wenze okusesikweni nobulungisa.
10 Ukumkanikazi wamnika ukumkani ikhulu elinamanci amabini eetalente• zegolide, nasebulawini into eninzi kunene, namatye anqabileyo; akuzanga kube saziswa bulawu bungangobo ukuba buninzi kwabo, obo ukumkanikazi waseShebha wabunika ukumkani uSolomon. 11Kananjalo isinqanawa sikaHiram, esathutha igolide kwaOfire, savela kwaOfire nemialmugi• emininzi kunene, namatye anqabileyo. 12Imialmugi leyo ukumkani wayenza iintsika zendlu kaYehova, nezeyendlu yokumkani, neehadi nemirhubhe yeemvumi; akuzanga kube saziswa mialmugi injalo, akubonwanga injalo unanamhla. 13Ke ukumkani uSolomon wamnika ukumkanikazi waseShebha konke akunanzileyo, awakucelayo; kukodwa khona awamnikayo ngokwamandla okuba engukumkani uSolomon. Wajika ke, waya ezweni lakhe, yena nabakhonzi bakhe.
Ubutyebi bukaSolomon
14Ke kaloku ukulinganiswa kwegolide, eyeza kuSolomon ngamnyaka mnye, kwaba ngamakhulu mathandathu anamanci mathandathu anesithandathu iitalente zegolide. 15Iyodwa eyabarhwebi, neyentengiso yabathengisi, neyookumkani bonke bomxukuxela, neyamabamba elizwe.
16Ukumkani uSolomon wênza amakhulu amabini amakhaka egolide engumkhando; zangamakhulu amathandathu iishekele• zegolide, awaleka ngazo khaka linye. 17Wenza amakhulu amathathu eengweletshetshe zegolide engumkhando; zaba ntathu iimina• zegolide, awaleka ngazo ngweletshetshe-nye. Ukumkani wazibeka endlwini yehlathi laseLebhanon. 18Ukumkani wenza itrone enkulu ngeempondo zeendlovu, wayaléka ngegolide engcwengiweyo. 19Itrone leyo ibinezinyuko ezithandathu; itrone leyo ibinomphezulu oyinqila ngasemva. Kukho iingalo ngapha nangapha kwendawo yokuhlala; kumi iingonyama ezimbini ecaleni leengalo ezo. 20Kumi iingonyama ezilishumi elinambini khona ezinyukweni ezithandathu, ngapha nangapha; akuzanga kwenziwe nto injalo ezikumkanini zonke.
21Yonke impahla yokusela yokumkani uSolomon yabe iyeyegolide, nempahla yonke yendlu yehlathi laseLebhanon yabe iyeyegolide ecikizekileyo; bekungekho yasilivere; ibingento yakonto yona ngemihla kaSolomon. 22Ngokuba ukumkani ubenesinqanawa saseTarshishe elwandle, ndawonye nesinqanawa sikaHiram; seza kanye ngeminyaka emithathu isinqanawa eso saseTarshishe, sithwele igolide, nesilivere, neempondo zeendlovu, neentsimango, neepikoko.•
23Waba mkhulu ke ukumkani uSolomon, ngaphezu kookumkani bonke behlabathi, ngobutyebi nangobulumko. 24Lonke ihlabathi laye lifuna ubuso bukaSolomon, ukuba live ubulumko bakhe, awayebubeke entliziyweni yakhe uThixo. 25Bazisa elowo umnikelo wakhe; iimpahla zesilivere, neempahla zegolide, nezambatho, nezikrweqe, nobulawu, namahashe, noondlebende, into yeminyaka ngeminyaka.
26USolomon wahlanganisa iinqwelo zokulwa namahashe akhwelwayo, waba newaka elinamakhulu amané eenqwelo zokulwa, namawaka alishumi elinamabini amahashe akhwelwayo; wazibeka ezo zinto emizini yeenqwelo zokulwa, nakukumkani eYerusalem. 27Ukumkani wayenza isilivere yanjengamatye eYerusalem, nemisedare• wayenza yanjengemithombe esesihlanjeni, ukuba mininzi. 28Amahashe abenawo uSolomon avela eYiputa; laza iqela labathengela ukumkani lalithabatha iqela ngalinye ngenani elithile. 29Kwenyuka kwaphuma inqwelo yokulwa eYiputa ngamakhulu amathandathu eeshekele• zesilivere, nehashe ngekhulu elinamanci mahlanu; benjenjalo bona ngokwabo ukubathuthela ookumkani bonke bamaHeti, nookumkani bama-Aram.•
