2 IziKronike 5
Ithempeli liyaphela
1Wase waphela wonke umsebenzi uSolomoni awenzela indlu yeNKOSI; uSolomoni wasengenisa konke uDavida uyise ayekungcwelisile; isiliva negolide nazo zonke izitsha wakubeka phansi kwengcebo yendlu kaNkulunkulu.
2USolomoni wayesebutha amadoda amadala akwa-Israyeli nazo zonke izinhloko zezizwe, izinhloko zezindlu zoyise zabantwana bakwa-Israyeli, eJerusalema ukuba bakhiphe umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova emzini kaDavide iZiyoni.
3Ngalokho onke amadoda akwa-Israyeli abuthana emkhosini wenkosi owawusenyanga yesikhombisa.
4Eza onke amalunga akwa-Israyeli; amaLevi awuthwala umphongolo.
5Bakhuphula umphongolo, netende lokuhlangana, nazo zonke izinto ezingcwele ezazisetabernakele, benyusa abapristi namaLevi.
6Inkosi uSolomoni nayo yonke inhlangano yakwa-Israyeli eyayibuthene kuyo phambi komphongolo banikela ngezimvu nezinkomo ezingenakubalwa nezingenakubalwa ngenxa yobuningi.
7Abapristi bawungenisa umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova endaweni yawo endlini engaphakathi yendlu, eNgcwelengcwele, phansi kwamaphiko amakherubi;
8Ngokuba amakherubi awelula amaphiko awo phezu kwendawo yomphongolo, amakherubi asibekela umphongolo nezinti zawo ngaphezulu.
9Zazikhipha izinti zomphongolo, ukuze izihloko zezinti zomphongolo zibonakale phambi kwekamelo elingaphakathi; kodwa ababonwanga ngaphandle. Lisekhona kuze kube namuhla.
10Kwakungekho lutho emphongolweni, kuphela izibhebhe ezimbili uMose azibeke kuwo eHorebe, lapho uJehova enza isivumelwano nabantwana bakwa-Israyeli ekuphumeni kwabo eGibithe.
11Kwathi lapho abapristi bephuma endaweni engcwele, ngokuba bonke abapristi ababekhona babengcwelisiwe, bengalindanga ngaleso sikhathi.
12AmaLevi ayengabahlabeleli, wonke ka-Asafa, kaHemani, kaJeduthuni, namadodana awo nabafowabo, bembethe ilineni elimhlophe, bephethe amasimbali, namahabhu, nezingubhu, bema ngasempumalanga kwe-altare, benezwi elilodwa. Abapristi abangamakhulu namashumi amabili bebetha amacilongo.
13Lapho abashaya amacilongo nabahlabeleli bemunye, benza izwi elilodwa lokudumisa nokudumisa uJehova; lapho bephakamisa amazwi abo ngamacilongo nangamasimbali nangezinsimbi, bemdumisa uJehova, bethi: “Ngokuba muhle; ngokuba umusa wakhe umi phakade, ngokuba indlu yagcwala ifu, indlu kaJehova;
14Abapristi babengenakuma ukukhonza ngenxa yefu, ngokuba inkazimulo kaJehova yagcwalisa indlu kaNkulunkulu.
