Naye uSolomon utshata aze anikele idini eGibheyon
1uSolomon wakha ubuhlobo noFaro ukumkani waseYiputa, wazeka intombi kaFaro, wayizisa emzini kaDavide, wada wayigqiba ukuyakha indlu yakhe, nendlu kaYehova, nodonga lwaseYerusalem, lwa lonke. 2Kodwa abantu babebingelela ezigangeni; ngokuba lalingekakhelwa ndlu igama likaYehova kwada kwayiloo mini. 3uSolomon wamthanda uYehova ngokuhamba emimiselweni kaDavide uyise; wayebingelela ezigangeni zodwa, wenyuka umsi. 4Ukumkani ubesiya eGibheyon, ukuba abingelele khona; ngenxa yokuba yayiyindawo ephakamileyo kakhulu: uSolomon wanikela iwaka leminikelo etshiswayo kweso sibingelelo. 5Xa wayeseGibheyon, uYehova wabonakala kuSolomon ebusuku ephupheni, wathi uThixo: “Cela into, ndikuphe; 6Wathi uSolomon, Umenzele inceba enkulu umkhonzi wakho uDavide, ubawo, njengoko abehamba phambi kwakho enyanisweni, nangobulungisa, nangentliziyo elungileyo; wambambela olu babalo bukhulu, wada wamnika unyana ukuba ahlale etroneni yakhe, njengoko kunjalo namhla. 7Kaloku, Yehova Thixo wam, wena umenze ukumkani umkhonzi wakho esikhundleni sikaDavide ubawo; ndisengumntwana; Andazi ndiphume okanye ndingene njani. 8Umkhonzi wakho lo uphakathi kohlanga lwakho olunyuliweyo, uhlanga olukhulu, olungenakubalwa, olungenakubalwa ngenxa yobuninzi. 9Mnike umkhonzi wakho intliziyo evayo, yokubalawula abantu bakho, ahlule phakathi kokulungileyo nokubi; ngokuba ngubani na ongalugwebayo olu hlanga lwakho lukhulu? 10Lalunga elo lizwi emehlweni kaYehova, wabuza uSolomon. 11Wathi ke uThixo kuye, Ekubeni ucele loo nto, akwayicela imihla emininzi; Anibucelanga ubutyebi benu, anicelanga nomphefumlo weentshaba zenu; Ke ucele ukuqonda kwakho ukuba kugwebe; 12Yabona, ndenze ngokwamazwi akho; niyabona, ndininike intliziyo elumkileyo nenokuqonda; kangangokuba ngaphambi kwakho akuzange kubekho unjengawe, nasemva kwakho kungabikho unjengawe. 13Ndikunikile oko ungakucelanga, ubutyebi nozuko, ukuze kungabikho unjengawe phakathi kookumkani yonke imihla yakho. 14Ukuba uthe wahamba ngeendlela zam, wayigcina imithetho yam nemimiselo yam, njengoko wahamba ngako uDavide uyihlo, ndoyolula imihla yakho. 15Wavuka uSolomon; liphupha. Weza eYerusalem, wema phambi kwetyeya yomnqophiso kaYehova, wenyusa amadini anyukayo nemibingelelo yombulelo, wabenzela isidlo abakhonzi bakhe bonke. 16Ngelo xesha beza kukumkani amankazana amabini angamahenyukazi, ema phambi kwakhe. 17Yathi enye inkazana, Camagu, nkosi yam, mna nalo mfazi sihlala ndlwini-nye; ndafika kukho umntwana naye endlini. 18Wazala ngomhla wesithathu, naye lowo wazala; kwaye sasikunye; kwaye kungekho mntu wasemzini unathi kuloo ndlu, sisodwa thina sobabini kuloo ndlu. 19Wafa ke umntwana wale nkazana ebusuku; ngokuba wayigubungelayo. 20Wavuka ezinzulwini zobusuku, wamthabatha unyana wam phambi kwam, elele umkhonzazana wakho, wamlalisa esifubeni sakhe, wambeka esifubeni sam umntwana wakhe ofileyo. 21Ndavuka kusasa, ukuba ndimanyise umntwana wam, O! kodwa ndathi ndakuyicinga ekuseni ndabona ukuba ayingonyana wam lo ndimzeleyo. 22Wathi omnye umfazi, Hayi; ngunyana wam lo uhleliyo, unyana wakho ngulowa ufileyo. Wathi yena, Hayi; unyana wakho ngulowa ufileyo, ngunyana wam lo uhleliyo. Batsho phambi kwenkosi. 23Wathi ukumkani, Kuthiwa, Ngunyana wam lo uhleliyo, unyana wakho ngulowa ufileyo; omnye wathi: Hayi! kodwa unyana wakho ufile, yaye unyana wam ngulo udla ubomi. 24Wathi ukumkani, Ndithabatheleni ikrele. Balizisa ikrele phambi kokumkani. 25Wathi ukumkani, Mcandeni kubini lo mntwana uhleliyo, niyinike isiqingatha enye, niyinike isiqingatha; 26Yathetha le nkazana, ungowayo unyana ohleliyo, kukumkani (ngokuba isisu besikhalela unyana wayo), yathi, Camagu, nkosi yam, senimnike ehleli umntwana; Wathi ke omnye, Mayingabi yeyam, ingabi yeyakho; 27Waphendula uYehova, wathi, Mnike umntwana ohleliyo; ngumama wam. 28Asiva onke amaSirayeli isigwebo abesenza ukumkani; amoyika ukumkani, ngokuba ayebona ukuba ubulumko bukaThixo bungaphakathi kwakhe, ukuba agwebe.
