Okufanele kusetshenziselwe ukwakha ithempeli
1Inkosi uDavide yathi kulo lonke ibandla: “USolomoni indodana yami, yena yedwa uNkulunkulu amkhethileyo, usemusha, uthambile, nomsebenzi mkhulu, ngokuba isigodlo asisona esabantu, kodwa ngekaJehova uNkulunkulu.
2Manje ngawo wonke amandla ami ngilungisele indlu kaNkulunkulu wami igolide lezinto zokwenziwa ngegolide, nesiliva lezinto zesiliva nethusi okwezinto zethusi, insimbi okwezinto zensimbi nokhuni lwezinto ngokhuni; amatshe e-shohamu, namatshe okubekwa, namatshe akhazimulayo, nayo yonke imibala, nazo zonke izinhlobo zamatshe ayigugu, namatshe etshe lemabula ngobuningi.
3Futhi njengoba ngiye ngayithanda indlu kaNkulunkulu wami, nginempahla yami, igolide nesiliva, engiyinike indlu kaNkulunkulu wami phezu kwakho konke engikulungisele indlu engcwele indlu,
4amatalenta ayizinkulungwane ezintathu egolide egolide lase-Ofiri, namatalenta ayizinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa esiliva elicwengekileyo lokusibekela izindonga zezindlu;
5Igolide lezinto zegolide, nesiliva lezinto zesiliva, nayo yonke imisebenzi eyenziwa ngezandla zezingcweti. Futhi ubani ozimisele ukunikela inkonzo yakhe kuJehova namuhla?
6Khona-ke izinhloko zawoyise nezikhulu zezizwe zakwa-Israyeli nezinduna zezinkulungwane nezamakhulu kanye nezinduna zomsebenzi wenkosi zanikela ngokuzithandela.
7Wanikela enkonzweni yendlu kaNkulunkulu amathalenta ayizinkulungwane eziyisihlanu egolide, namadarike ayizinkulungwane eziyishumi, namatalenta ayizinkulungwane eziyishumi esiliva, namatalenta ayizinkulungwane eziyishumi nesishiyagalombili ethusi, namatalenta ayizinkulungwane eziyikhulu ensimbi.
8Labo okwatholwa kubo amatshe ayigugu bawanikela engcebweni yendlu kaJehova ngesandla sikaJehiyeli umGereshoni.
9Abantu bajabula, ngokuba banikela ngenhliziyo, ngokuba bahlabela uJehova ngenhliziyo epheleleyo; nenkosi uDavide yathokoza ngentokozo enkulu.
10Ngakho uDavida wambonga uJehova phambi kwebandla lonke, uDavida wasesithi: Kawubusiswe wena Jehova Nkulunkulu kababa wethu uIsrayeli kuze kube nininini.
11Ngobakho, Jehova, ubukhulu, namandla, nenkazimulo, nokunqoba, nobukhosi, ngokuba konke okusezulwini nasemhlabeni kungokwakho; umbuso ungowakho, Jehova, futhi uphakeme uyinhloko phezu kwakho konke.
12Ingcebo nodumo kuvela kuwe, wena ubusa phezu kwakho konke; futhi esandleni sakho kukhona amandla namandla; futhi esandleni sakho kukhona ukukhulisa nokunika amandla kubo bonke.
13Ngakho-ke, Nkulunkulu wethu, siyakubonga, siyalidumisa igama lakho elitusekayo.
14“Kodwa ngingubani mina, futhi bayini abantu bami, ukuba sibe namandla okunikela ngenhliziyo engaka? ngokuba konke kuvela kuwe, nokuvela kokwaKho sikunike wena.
15Ngokuba singabafokazi phambi kwakho nezihambi njengabo bonke obaba; izinsuku zethu emhlabeni zinjengethunzi, akakho osalayo.
16O Jehova Nkulunkulu wethu, wonke lo mgodo esiwulungiselele ukwakhela igama lakho elingcwele indlu, uvela esandleni sakho futhi ungezakho.
17Ngiyazi futhi, Nkulunkulu wami, ukuthi uhlola inhliziyo futhi ujabulela ubuqotho. Mina-ke, ngobuqotho benhliziyo yami nganikela ngokuzithandela zonke lezi zinto; manje ngibonile ngokuthokoza abantu bakho abakhona lapha, bevuma ukuhlabela kuwe.
18Jehova, Nkulunkulu ka-Abrahama, no-Isaka, no-Israyeli, obaba bethu, kulondoloze kuze kube phakade emicabangweni yemicabango yenhliziyo yabantu bakho, ulungisele wena izinhliziyo zabo.
19Unike uSolomoni indodana yami inhliziyo epheleleyo ukugcina imiyalo yakho, nobufakazi bakho, nezimiso zakho, yenze zonke lezi zinto, akhe indlu yobukhosi engiyilungisile.
20UDavida wasesithi kulo lonke ibandla: Khathesi dumisani uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu. Ibandla lonke lambonga uJehova uNkulunkulu wawoyise, bakhothama, bakhuleka kuJehova nasenkosini.
21Bahlabela uJehova imihlatshelo, banikela ngeminikelo yokushiswa kuJehova ngangomuso izinkunzi eziyinkulungwane, nezinqama eziyinkulungwane, namawundlu ayinkulungwane neminikelo yakho yokuphuzwa nemihlatshelo eminingi ngo-Israyeli wonke.
22Wadla, waphuza ngokuthokoza okukhulu phambi kukaJehova ngalolo suku. Basebembeka uSolomoni indodana kaDavide inkosi ngokwesibili, bamgcobela uJehova abe ngumbusi omkhulu, noSadoki abe ngumpristi.
23USolomoni wayesehlala esihlalweni sobukhosi sikaJehova njengenkosi esikhundleni sikaDavide uyise, waba nenhlanhla; wonke u-Israyeli wamlalela.
24Zonke izikhulu namaqhawe nawo wonke amadodana enkosi uDavide bazithoba phansi kwenkosi uSolomoni.
25UJehova wamenza uSolomoni waba mkhulu kakhulu emehlweni abo bonke abakwa-Israyeli, wamnika isithunzi sobukhosi esingazange sibe khona nakuyiphi inkosi yakwa-Israyeli ngaphambi kwakhe.
26UDavide indodana kaJese wabusa phezu kuka-Israyeli wonke.
27Isikhathi abusa ngaso phezu kuka-Israyeli sasiyiminyaka engamashumi amane; iminyaka eyisikhombisa wabusa eHebroni, futhi wabusa iminyaka engamashumi amathathu nantathu eJerusalema.
28Wafa esemdala, esanelisiwe yizinsuku nengcebo nodumo; uSolomoni indodana yakhe waba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.
29Ukulandisa kwenkosi uDavide, ezokuqala nezokugcina, bheka, kulotshiwe encwadini kaSamuweli umboni, nasencwadini kaNathani umprofethi, nasencwadini kaGadi umboni,
30kanye nakho konke ukubusa kwakhe namandla akhe nezikhathi ezedlula yena no-Israyeli naphezu kwayo yonke imibuso yamazwe.
