Ukwakhiwa kwetempile nguSolomon
1uSolomon wacinga ukulakhela indlu igama likaYehova, nokubakhela indlu ubukumkani bakhe. 2uSolomon wabeka amadoda angamashumi amathandathu amawaka ukuba athwale imithwalo, amashumi asibhozo amawaka ukuze agawule ezintabeni, amawaka amathathu anamakhulu amathandathu ukuba abe ngabalindi. 3Wathumela uSolomon kuHiram ukumkani waseTire, wathi, Njengoko wenza ngako kuDavide ubawo, wathumela kuye imisedare yokuzakhela indlu yokuba ahlale kuyo, wenjenjalo nakum. 4Yabona, ndilakhela indlu igama likaYehova uThixo wam, ukuba ndingcwaliswe kuye, ndiqhumisele phambi kwakhe, ndiqhumisele ngezonka ezicwangcisiweyo ngamaxesha onke, namadini anyukayo akusasa nangokuhlwa, kusasa nangokuhlwa. Iisabatha nakwinyanga entsha ucinga ntoni? emithendelekweni kaYehova uThixo wethu. Lowo ngummiselo ongunaphakade kuSirayeli. 5Indlu endiyakhayo inkulu, kuba uThixo wethu mkhulu koothixo bonke. 6Ngubani na ongamakhela indlu, ekubeni izulu lawo amazulu alingana naye? Ndingubani na ke mna, ukuba ndimakhele indlu, ingekukuba itshise phambi kobuso bakhe? 7Ndithumele ke indoda elumkileyo, isebenze ngegolide, nesilivere, nobhedu, nesinyithi, nemfusa, nebomvu, nemfusa, ekwaziyo ukungcwaba ndawonye nezilumko ezinam ezweni lakwaYuda neYerusalem, awayilungisayo uDavide ubawo. 8Ndithumele nemisedare, nemisipres, nemialgumi, evela eLebhanon; ngokuba ndiyazi ukuba abakhonzi bakho banako ukugawula imithi eLebhanon; yabona, abakhonzi bam baya kuba nabakhonzi bakho; 9Wandilungisela nemithi emininzi, ngokuba indlu endiyakhayo inkulu ngokumangalisayo. 10Yabona, ndibanika abakhonzi bakho abagawula iinkuni iitoni ezingamawaka angamashumi amabini engqolowa, namashumi amabini amawaka eebhari zerhasi, namashumi amabini amawaka eebhare zewayini, namashumi amabini amawaka emiphanda yeoli. 11Waphendula uHiram ukumkani waseTire, ngencwadi abeyithumele kuSolomon, wathi, uYehova ubathande abantu bakhe, ubamisele ukumkani wabo. 12uHuram wathi, Makabongwe uYehova, uThixo kaSirayeli, owenza izulu nehlabathi, omnike ukumkani uDavide unyana osisilumko, oqiqayo, onengqondo, omakhelayo uYehova indlu, umakhiyo ubukumkani bakhe. 13Kwaye ngoku, ndithumele indoda esisilumko, enengqondo, ivela kubawo uHuram; 14Yena waye engunyana wenkazana yasezintombini zakwaDan, uyise engumTire, ekwazi ukusebenza ngegolide, nesilivere, nobhedu, nesinyithi, nelitye, nomthi, nemfusa nemfusa, nantsi ke le nto entle nomfusa; niqingqe amangcwaba ezinto zonke, niziqondele zonke icebo, aya kulinikwa, nezilumko zenu, neengcinga zokumkani wam uDavide, uyihlo. 15Makathumele ke ingqolowa, nerhasi, neoli, newayini, eyathetha ngazo inkosi yam kubakhonzi bayo; 16Sogawula imithi eLebhanon, njengoko uthanda ngako; uze uyinyuse uyise eYerusalem. 17uSolomon wababala bonke oonyana bolunye uhlanga, ababesezweni lakwaSirayeli, ngokwenani awababalayo uDavide uyise; kwaye kwafunyanwa ikhulu elinamashumi amahlanu anesithathu samawaka anamakhulu amathandathu. 18Wamisa amashumi amathandathu amawaka kubo ukuba abe ngabathwali bemithwalo, namashumi asibhozo amawaka ukuba abe ngabalukileyo entabeni, namawaka amathathu anamakhulu amathandathu abalindi ukuba banyule umsebenzi wabantu.
