uYehova uthetha noSolomon ngomthandazo wakhe
1Wagqiba uSolomon ukuyakha indlu kaYehova, nendlu yokumkani, nomnqweno wonke kaSolomon, abefuna ukukwenza. 2uYehova wabonakala kuSolomon okwesibini, njengoko wayebonakele kuye eGibheyon. 3Wathi uYehova kuye, Ndikuvile ukuthandaza kwakho nokutarhuzisa kwakho okwenzileyo phambi kwam; aya kuhlala elapho amehlo am nentliziyo yam. 4Ukuba uthe wahamba nam, njengoko wahamba ngako uDavide uyihlo, ngentliziyo ethe tye, nangobulungisa, ukwenze konke endikuwisele umthetho ngako, uyigcine imithetho yam nemimiselo yam; 5Ke kaloku ndiya kuyiqinisa itrone yobukumkani bakho phezu koSirayeli ukusa kwixesha elingenammiselo, kanye njengoko ndathembisa uyihlo uDavide ndisithi, ‘Akuyi kunqunyukelwa ndoda etroneni yakwaSirayeli. 6Ke ukuba nithe nabuya kum, nina, noonyana benu, nemithetho yam, nemiyalelo yam, endiyibeke phambi kwenu, anayenza, anakhonza thixo bambi, nabanqula; 7Ndiza kumtshabalalisa uSirayeli emhlabeni endimnike wona; nale ndlu ndiyingcwalisayo ngenxa yegama lam, ndoyilahla, imke ebusweni bam; uSirayeli uya kuba yintsomi ezintlangeni zonke. 8Kule ndlu ephakamileyo, bonke abadlulayo kuyo bomangaliswa, bavuthele umlozi; yaye ngokuqinisekileyo baya kuthi: ‘Kwakutheni ukuze uYehova enze eli hlabathi nale ndlu ngolu hlobo? 9Baphendule bathi, Kungenxa yokuba batyekayo kuYehova uThixo wabo, owabakhuphayo ooyise ezweni laseYiputa, bathabatha oothixo bolunye uhlanga, babanqula, babakhonza; uYehova wabahlisela yonke le ntlekele. 10Ekupheleni kweminyaka emashumi mabini, uSolomon wayakha izindlu ezimbini indlu kaYehova nendlu yokumkani; 11Ke uHiram, ukumkani waseTire, wanika uSolomon imisedare nemisipres, nemisipres, negolide, ngangokuthanda kwakhe konke; ngoko ukumkani uSolomon wamnika uHiram izixeko ezimashumi mabini ezweni laseGalili. 12Wemka ke uHiram eTire, waya kubona imizi abemnike yona uSolomon; kwaye abamkholisanga. 13Wathi, Yimizi mini na le undinikileyo, mzalwana wam? Wathi lilizwe laseKabhuli unanamhla. 14uHiram wathumela kukumkani iitalente zegolide ezimashumi mathandathu. 15Siso esi isizathu sokunyula irhafu, awayisusayo uSolomon; ukuba akhe indlu kaYehova, nendlu yakhe, neMilo, nodonga lweYerusalem, neHatsore, neMegido, neGezere. 16Wenyuka uFaro ukumkani waseYiputa, wayithabatha iGezere, wayitshisa ngomlilo, wawabulala amaKanan abehleli kuloo mzi, wayinika intombi yakhe, umkaSolomon, yaba sisipho. 17uSolomon wakha iGezere, neBhete-horon ezantsi; 18neBhahalati, neTademore entlango, ezweni; 19nemizi yonke engoovimba uSolomon abenayo, nemizi yeenqwelo zakhe, nemizi yamahashe akhe, awayefuna ukuyakha uSolomon eYerusalem naseLebhanon, nasezweni lonke lolawulo lwakhe; 20nabo bonke abaseleyo bama-Amori, namaHeti, namaPerizi, namaHeti, namaYebhusi, abengengawo oonyana bakaSirayeli; 21Oonyana babo abasala emva kwabo elizweni, abo oonyana bakaSirayeli babengabaqalekisanga nokubaqalekisa, uSolomon wabamisela irhafu yenkonzo de kube namhla. 22Kodwa uSolomon akazange akhonze namnye woonyana bakaSirayeli, kodwa baba ngamadoda alwayo nabakhonzi bakhe neenkosana zakhe nabaphathi bakhe nabaphathi beenqwelo zakhe nabangamadoda ahlala amahashe. 23Aba yayiziintloko zezigidimi, ababephethe umsebenzi kaSolomon, babengamakhulu amahlanu anamanci mahlanu, ababephethe abantu abenza umsebenzi. 24Yenyuka ke intombi kaFaro, iphuma kwisiXeko sikaDavide, yaya endlwini yayo awayakhela yona uSolomon; emva koko wakha iMilo. 25uSolomon wayenikela imibingelelo etshiswayo neyombulelo izihlandlo ezithathu ngonyaka esibingelelweni awayesakhele uYehova, yaye wenza ukuba kutshiswe nesiqhumiso esiphambi koYehova. Wayigqiba ke indlu. 26Ukumkani uSolomon wakha izinqanawa e-Esion-gebhere, engase-Eloti, elunxwemeni loLwandle oluBomvu, ezweni lakwaEdom. 27uHiram wathuma abakhonzi bakhe, oomatiloshe abalwazi ulwandle, nabakhonzi bakaSolomon enqanaweni. 28Bafika eOfire, bathabatha khona igolide, amakhulu amane anamanci mabini eetalente, bazisa kukumkani uSolomon.
