1 Amakhosi 9

¹Kwathi uSolomoni eseqedile ukwakha indlu kaJehova nendlu yenkosi, nazo zonke izifiso zikaSolomoni ayethanda ukuzenza,

²ukuthi uJehova wabonakala kuSolomoni ngokwesibili, njengalokho wabonakala kuye eGibeyoni.

³Wayesethi uJehova kuye: “Ngiwuzwile umkhuleko wakho nokunxusa kwakho okwenzile phambi kwami; ngiyingcwelisile le ndlu oyakhileyo ukuba ngimise igama lami khona kuze kube phakade; amehlo ami nenhliziyo yami kuyakuba khona njalo.

⁴Uma uhamba phambi kwami njengokuhamba kukayihlo uDavide ngobuqotho benhliziyo nangobuqotho, ukwenza njengakho konke engikuyale ngakho, ugcine izimiso zami nezahlulelo zami;

⁵Njalo ngizaqinisa isihlalo sobukhosi sombuso wakho phezu kukaIsrayeli kuze kube nininini, njengokuthembisa kwami kuDavida uyihlo ngokuthi: Kawuyikuswela muntu esihlalweni sobukhosi sikaIsrayeli.

⁶Kepha uma nichezuka kimi nangayiphi indlela, nina nabantwana benu, nemiyalo yami nezimiso zami engizibeka phambi kwenu, ningagcini, kepha hambani nikhonze abanye onkulunkulu, nibakhothamele.

⁷Ngiyakumchitha u-Israyeli ezweni engimnike lona; lendlu engiyingcwelisele igama lami, ngiyoyilahla ebusweni bami; u-Israyeli uyakuba yisaga nesifenqo phakathi kwezizwe zonke.

⁸Futhi kule ndlu ephakeme, wonke umuntu odlula kuyo uyomangala futhi ashaye ikhwelo; bayakuthi: ‘UJehova wenzeleni lokhu kuleli zwe nakule ndlu na?

⁹Bazakuthi: Kungokuba bamshiya uJehova uNkulunkulu wabo owakhipha oyise ezweni laseGibithe, bathatha abanye onkulunkulu, babakhothamela, babakhonza; ngalokho uJehova wehlisela lobu bubi phezu kwabo bonke.

¹⁰Kwathi ekupheleni kweminyaka engamashumi amabili uSolomoni akha izindlu ezimbili, indlu kaJehova nendlu yenkosi,

¹¹(UHiramu inkosi yaseTire wanika uSolomoni imisedari nemisayipuresi negolide njengakho konke ukufisa kwakhe; inkosi uSolomoni yanika uHiramu imizi engamashumi amabili ezweni laseGalile.

¹²UHiramu wasephuma eTire ukubona imizi uSolomoni ayemnike yona; futhi abamthokozisanga.

¹³Wathi: “Yimizi miphi le onginike yona, mfowethu na?” Wababiza ngokuthi izwe laseKabuli kuze kube namuhla.

¹⁴UHiramu wathumela enkosini amatalenta angamashumi ayisithupha egolide.

¹⁵Lesi yisizathu sesibopho inkosi uSolomoni eyasisusayo; ukwakha indlu kaJehova nendlu yakhe neMilo nogange lwaseJerusalema neHazori neMegido neGezeri.

¹⁶UFaro inkosi yaseGibithe wenyuka walithatha iGezeri walishisa ngomlilo, wabulala amaKhanani ahlala emzini, walinika indodakazi yakhe, umkaSolomoni, yaba yisipho.

¹⁷USolomoni wakha iGezeri, neBeti Horoni lasezansi,

¹⁸noBhahalati noTadimori ehlane ezweni,

¹⁹nayo yonke imizi yokugcina izimpahla uSolomoni ayenayo, nemizi yezinqola zakhe, nemizi yabamahhashi bakhe, uSolomoni ayethanda ukuyakha eJerusalema, naseLebanoni, nakulo lonke izwe lombuso wakhe.

²⁰Bonke abantu ababesele kuma-Amori, namaHeti, namaPherizi, namaHivi, namaJebusi, ababengebona abantwana bakwa-Israyeli,

²¹Abantwana babo abasala emva kwabo ezweni, abantwana bakwa-Israyeli ababengenakubaqalekisa, uSolomoni wabakhokhisa intela yenkonzo kuze kube namuhla.

²²Kodwa kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli uSolomoni akenzanga sigqila, kodwa baba amaqhawe nezinceku zakhe nezikhulu zakhe nezinduna zakhe nezinduna zezinqola zakhe nabamahhashi bakhe.

²³Laba babeyizinduna zabalindi ababephezu komsebenzi kaSolomoni, amakhulu amahlanu namashumi ayisihlanu, ababebusa phezu kwabantu abenza umsebenzi.

²⁴Indodakazi kaFaro yenyuka emzini kaDavide, yaya endlini yayo ayakhele yona uSolomoni; wabe eseyakha iMilo.

²⁵USolomoni wanikela ngeminikelo yokushiswa neminikelo yokubonga kathathu ngomnyaka e-altare ayelakhele uJehova, wanyusa impepho phezu kwe-altare elaliphambi kukaJehova. Wayiqeda ke indlu.

²⁶Inkosi uSolomoni yenza uxhaxha lwemikhumbi e-Esiyoni Geberi eseduze ne-Eloti ogwini loLwandle Olubomvu ezweni lakwa-Edomi.

²⁷UHiramu wayesethuma izinceku zakhe, amatilosi ezazi ulwandle, nezinceku zikaSolomoni emkhunjini.

²⁸Bafika e-Ofiri, balanda khona igolide, amathalenta angamakhulu amane namashumi amabili, baliletha enkosini uSolomoni.
