1 Amakhosi 7 USolomoni uzakhela eyakhe indlu

¹ Kepha uSolomoni wakha eyakhe indlu iminyaka eyishumi nantathu, wayiqeda yonke indlu yakhe.

² Wakha nendlu yehlathi laseLebanoni; ubude balo babuyizingalo eziyikhulu, ububanzi buyizingalo ezingamashumi amahlanu, ukuphakama kwalo kuyizingalo ezingamashumi amathathu, phezu kwezinhlu ezine zezinsika zemisedari, nemishayo yemisedari phezu kwezinsika.

³ Yafulelwa ngokhuni lomsedari phezu kwemishayo emiswe phezu kwezinsika ezingamashumi amane nanhlanu, eziyishumi nanhlanu luhla.

⁴ Kwakukhona amafasitele ezinhlangeni ezintathu, nokukhanya kwakubhekene nokukhanya ezinhlakeni ezintathu.

⁵ Zonke izicabha nezinsika zazinezinhlangothi ezinezinhlangothi ezine ezilinganayo, zinamafasitele;

⁶ Wenza nompheme wezinsika; ubude balo babuyizingalo ezingamashumi amahlanu, nobubanzi balo buyizingalo ezingamashumi amathathu; umpheme wawuphambi kwazo, nezinye izinsika nogodo olunzima phambi kwazo.

⁷ Wenza umpheme wesihlalo sobukhosi lapho angahlulela khona, umpheme wokwahlulela; futhi yayimbozwe ngemisedari kusukela ekugcineni komunye phansi kuze kufike ekugcineni.

⁸ Indlu yakhe lapho ayehlala khona yayinelinye igceke phakathi kompheme, laliwumsebenzi ofanayo. USolomoni wenzela indodakazi kaFaro indlu enjengalo mpheme, ayithathe yaba ngumkakhe.

⁹ Konke lokhu kwakungamatshe ayigugu, ngokwesilinganiso samatshe abaziweyo, asahwe ngesaha, ngaphakathi nangaphandle, kusukela esisekelweni kuze kufike ophahleni, nangaphandle kuze kube segcekeni elikhulu.

¹⁰ Isisekelo sasingamatshe ayigugu, amatshe amakhulu, amatshe ayizingalo eziyishumi namatshe ayizingalo eziyisishiyagalombili.

¹¹ Ngaphezulu kwakukhona amatshe ayigugu ngokwesilinganiso samatshe abaziweyo nemisedari.

¹² Igceke elikhulu nxazonke lalinezinhla ezintathu zamatshe abaziweyo nohla lwemishayo yemisedari, ngelegceke elingaphakathi lendlu kaJehova nompheme wendlu.

¹³ Inkosi uSolomoni yathumela yamlanda uHiramu eTire.

¹⁴ Wayeyindodana yomfelokazi wesizwe sakwaNafetali, uyise engowaseTire, esebenza ngethusi; futhi wayegcwele ukuhlakanipha nokuqondisisa nobuqili ukwenza yonke imisebenzi yethusi. Wafika enkosini uSolomoni, wenza wonke umsebenzi wakhe.

¹⁵ Wakhanda izinsika ezimbili zethusi, iyileyo naleyo buyizingalo eziyishumi nesishiyagalombili ukuphakama, nomucu oyizingalo eziyishumi nambili uzungeza ngayinye yazo.

¹⁶ Wenza izihloko ezimbili zethusi elibunjiweyo ukuba zihlale ezihlokweni zezinsika; ukuphakama kwesinye isihloko kwakuyizingalo eziyisihlanu, nokuphakama kwesinye isihloko kwakuyizingalo eziyisihlanu.

¹⁷ Namanetha omsebenzi ophothiweyo nezimbali zemihlobiso ezenziwe ngamaketanga ezinduneni ezaziphezu kwezinsika; eziyisikhombisa ngesahluko esisodwa, nesikhombisa kwesinye isahluko.

¹⁸ Wenza izinsika nezinhlu ezimbili nxazonke kwelinye ithango, ukumboza izihloko ezingaphezulu ngamahenge; wenze njalo nangesinye isihloko.

¹⁹ Izigqoko ezaziphezu kwezinsika emphemeni zaziwumsebenzi womnduze, izingalo ezine.

²⁰ Izinduna phezu kwezinsika zombili zazinamapomegranati phezulu malungana nesisu esasiphezu kwentambo; nezinetha zazingamakhulu amabili ngezinhla nxazonke kwesinye isihloko.

²¹ Wazimisa izinsika emphemeni wethempeli, wamisa insika yokunene, wayiqamba ngokuthi uJakini; wamisa insika yesokhohlo, wayibiza ngokuthi uBhowazi.

²² Phezu kwezinsika kwakukhona umsebenzi womnduze; kanjalo umsebenzi wezinsika waqedwa.

²³ Wenza ulwandle olubunjiweyo, izingalo eziyishumi ukusuka kolunye umkhawulo kuze kufike kolunye umkhawulo; laliyizungezile, nokuphakama kwalo kwakuyizingalo eziyisihlanu; umucu oyizingalo ezingamashumi amathathu wawudwengula inhlangothi zonke.

²⁴ Phansi konqenqema lwalo kwakukhona amafindo nxazonke, eziyishumi ingalo, ezungeza ulwandle nxazonke; ama-buds abunjwa abe yimigqa emibili uma ephonswe.

²⁵ Lwalumi phezu kwezinkabi eziyishumi nambili, ezintathu zibheke enyakatho, ezintathu zibheke entshonalanga, ezintathu zibheke eningizimu, ezintathu zibheke ngasempumalanga; ulwandle lwalubekwe phezu kwabo, nezindluzele zabo zonke zingaphakathi.

²⁶ Ugqinsi lwalo lwalungangobubanzi besandla, nomphetho walo wawenziwe njengodini lwendebe, lineluba leminduze; yayinelulwane eliyizinkulungwane ezimbili.

²⁷ Wenza nezinyawo eziyishumi zethusi; ubude balo lunye babuyizingalo ezine, nezingalo ezine ububanzi, nezingalo ezintathu ukuphakama.

²⁸ Umsebenzi wesisekelo wawunje: zazinemiphetho, imigqa yayiphakathi kwemikhawulo.

²⁹ Ezintini ezaziphakathi kwemikhawulo kwakukhona izingonyama, nezinkabi, namakherubi, naphezu konqenqema kwakukhona isisekelo;

³⁰ Isisekelo ngasinye sasinamasondo amane ethusi nezingcwecwe zethusi, emagumbini aso omane ayenophahla; ngaphansi kukasinki kwakukhona ophahleni olubunjiwe ezinhlangothini zokwengezwa ngakunye.

³¹ Umlomo wayo phakathi kwesihloko nangaphezulu wawuyingalo, kepha umlomo wayo wawuyindilinga, njengomsebenzi wephini, uyingalo nengxenye; nasemlonyeni wawo kwakukhona okuqoshiwe emaceleni awo, inhlangothi zozine, engesiyindilinga.

³² Phansi kwezintambo kwakukhona amasondo amane; izisekelo zamasondo zaziboshelwe esinqeni, ukuphakama kwesondo kwakuyingalo nengalo nengxenye.

³³ Umsebenzi wamasondo wawunjengokwenziwa kwesondo lenqola; imithi yawo yomlotha, nemikhumbi yawo, nezisekelo zawo, nezipoki zawo, kwakuncibilika konke.

³⁴ Kwakukhona izisekelo ezine emagumbini omane esisekelweni sinye, futhi izisekelo zazivela esisekelweni ngokwaso.

³⁵ Phezu kwesisekelo kwakuyisiyingi esiyindilinga ukuphakama kwengxenye yengalo, futhi phezu kwesinqe kwakukhona imiphetho yaso nemiphetho yaso.

³⁶ Ngoba ezingcwepheni zemiphetho yalo naseceleni kwalo waqopha amakherubi, nezingonyama, namasundu ngokwesilinganiso salolo naso, nenengezo nxazonke.

³⁷ Wazenza-ke izisekelo eziyishumi;

³⁸ Wasesenza imiganu yokugezela yethusi elitshumi; umganu owodwa wawulemiganu engamatshumi amane, lenditshi ngayinye yayizingalo ezine, lesiceceni esisodwa sezisekelo ezilitshumi.

³⁹ Wabeka izisekelo eziyisihlanu ohlangothini lokunene lwendlu neziyisihlanu ohlangothini lwesobunxele lwendlu; walubeka ulwandle ohlangothini lokunene lwendlu, ngasempumalanga, malungana naseningizimu.

⁴⁰ UHiramu wenza imicengezi yokugezela namafosholo nezitsha. Ngakho uHiramu wawuqeda wonke umsebenzi ayewenzele inkosi uSolomoni endlini kaJehova.

⁴¹ Izinsika ezimbili nezitsha ezimbili zezihloko ezaziphezu kwezinsika ezimbili; nezinzipho zombili zokumboza izitsha ezimbili zezihloko ezaziphezu kwezinsika;

⁴² nezingodo ezingamakhulu amane emilukweni yomibili, izinhlu ezimbili zezinatha okhazimulweni munye ukumboza izindebe ezimbili zezihloko ezaziphezu kwezinsika;

⁴³ nezinqola zokugezela eziyishumi, nezitsha eziyishumi ezinqoleni zokugezela;

⁴⁴ nolwandle olulodwa nezinkabi eziyishumi nambili phansi kolwandle;

⁴⁵ Amakhanzi, namafosholo, nezitsha, nazo zonke lezi zinto uHiramu azenzela inkosi uSolomoni, zendlu kaJehova, zazingezethusi elikhazimulayo.

⁴⁶ Inkosi yawathela ethafeni laseJordani emhlabathini wobumba phakathi kweSukoti neSarithani.

⁴⁷ USolomoni waziyeka zonke izitsha zingakalwa, ngokuba zaziziningi kakhulu; nesisindo somthengi asikanqunywa.

⁴⁸ USolomoni wazenza zonke izinto zendlu kaJehova: i-altare legolide, netafula legolide okwakukhona kulo izinkwa zokubukwa;

⁴⁹ nezinti zezibani zegolide elicwengekileyo, eziyisihlanu ngakwesokunene neziyisihlanu ngakwesokhohlo, phambi kwendlu engaphakathi, zinezimbali nezibani nezindlawu zegolide;

⁵⁰ nezitsha, nezinkezo, nezitsha, nezitsha, nemicengezi yomlilo yegolide elicwengekileyo; nezinti zegolide zeminyango yendlu engaphakathi, iNgcwelengcwele, nezeminyango yendlu, eyethempeli.

⁵¹ Waphela kanjalo wonke umsebenzi inkosi uSolomoni eyayiwenzele indlu kaJehova. USolomoni wangenisa izipho uDavide uyise abezingcwelisile; nesiliva negolide nezitsha wakubeka phansi kwengcebo yendlu kaJehova.
