1 IziKronike 22 Ukwakhiwa kwethempeli

¹ UDavida wasesithi: Le yindlu yeNKOSI uNkulunkulu, leli lilathi lomnikelo wokutshiswa likaIsrayeli.

² UDavida waselaya ukuthi abafokazi ababesezweni lakoIsrayeli babuthwe; waqasha abakhi ukubaza amatshe abaziweyo ukwakha indlu kaNkulunkulu.

³ UDavide walungisa insimbi ngobuningi bezikhonkwane zeminyango yamasango nezokuhlanganisa; nethusi eliningi elingenasisindo;

⁴ nemisedari eminingi, ngokuba abaseSidoni nabaseTire baletha imisedari eminingi kuDavide.

⁵ UDavida wasesithi: USolomoni indodana yami usemncane, uthambile, lendlu ezakwakhelwa uJehova izakuba nkulu kakhulu, ibe ledumo lenkazimulo emazweni wonke; Kanjalo uDavide walungisa kakhulu ngaphambi kokufa kwakhe.

⁶ Wayesebiza uSolomoni indodana yakhe, wamyala ukuba akhele uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli indlu.

⁷ UDavide wathi kuSolomoni: “Ndodana yami, kwakusenhliziyweni yami ukwakhela igama likaJehova uNkulunkulu wami indlu.

⁸ Kepha izwi likaJehova lafika kimi, lathi: “Uchithile igazi eliningi, ulwa izimpi ezinkulu; awuyikwakhela igama lami indlu, ngokuba uchithile igazi eliningi emhlabeni phambi kwamehlo ami.

⁹ Bheka, uyakuzalelwa indodana eyakuba ngumuntu wokuthula; ngiyakumnika ukuphumula ezitheni zakhe nxazonke, ngokuba igama lakhe liyakuba nguSolomoni, nginike u-Israyeli ukuthula nokuzola ezinsukwini zakhe.

¹⁰ Nguye ozakwakhela ibizo lami indlu; yena uyakuba yindodana Kimi, mina ngibe nguyise wayo; ngiyakumisa isihlalo sobukhosi sombuso wakhe phezu kuka-Israyeli kuze kube phakade.

¹¹ Manje, ndodana yami, uJehova makabe nawe! uphumelele wakhe indlu kaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho njengokukhuluma kwakhe ngawe.

¹² NguJehova kuphela okunika ukuhlakanipha nokuqondisisa, futhi uyakuyala ngo-Israyeli, ukuze ugcine umthetho kaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho.

¹³ Khona-ke uyakuba nempumelelo, uma ulalela ukwenza izimiso nezahlulelo uJehova ayala ngakho uMose ngo-Israyeli: qina, uqine; ningesabi, ningapheli amandla.

¹⁴ Bheka, ekuhluphekeni kwami ngilungisele indlu kaJehova amathalenta ayizinkulungwane eziyikhulu egolide namatalenta ayizinkulungwane eziyinkulungwane esiliva; neyethusi nensimbi ezingenasisindo; ngoba kuchichima; Ngalungisa nokhuni namatshe; futhi ungakwazi ukwengeza kukho.

¹⁵ Ngaphezu kwalokho, kukhona kanye nawe ngobuningi izisebenzi, ababazi bamatshe nabasebenza ngamatshe nangemithi, nazo zonke izinhlobo zamadoda anobuqili kuzo zonke izinhlobo zomsebenzi.

¹⁶ Igolide, isiliva, ithusi, nensimbi, akunakubalwa. Sukuma wenze, uJehova abe nawe.

¹⁷ UDavide wayala zonke izikhulu zakwa-Israyeli ukuba zisize uSolomoni indodana yakhe, wathi:

¹⁸ UJehova uNkulunkulu wenu akanani na? Akaniphumuzanga na? ngokuba unikele esandleni sami abakhileyo ezweni; izwe lanqotshwa phambi kukaJehova naphambi kwabantu bakhe.

¹⁹ Manje nikelani inhliziyo yenu nomphefumulo wenu ekufuneni uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu; sukani, nakhe indlu engcwele kaJehova uNkulunkulu, nilethe umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova nezitsha ezingcwele zikaNkulunkulu endlini eyakwakhelwa igama likaJehova.
