2 IziKronike 9 Indlovukazi yaseSheba iyeza izovivinya uSolomoni

¹ Indlovukazi yaseSheba isizwile umbiko kaSolomoni, yeza ukumvivinya uSolomoni ngemibuzo enzima eJerusalema, inesixuku esikhulu kakhulu, namakamela athwele izinongo, negolide eliningi, namatshe ayigugu; kwathi esefikile; kuSolomoni wakhuluma kuye ngakho konke okwakusenhliziyweni yakhe.

² USolomoni wayiphendula yonke imibuzo yakhe; kwakungekho lutho olufihlekile kuSolomoni angamtshelanga lona.

³ Lapho indlovukazi yaseSheba ibona ukuhlakanipha kukaSolomoni nendlu ayakhileyo,

⁴ nokudla kwetafula lakhe, nokuhlala kwezinceku zakhe, nenkonzo yezinceku zakhe, nezingubo zazo; nabaphathizitsha nezingubo zabo; nokukhuphuka kwakhe akhuphukela ngakho endlini kaJehova; kwakungasekho umoya kuye.

⁵ Wayesethi enkosini: “Kuyizindaba ezinhle engazizwa ezweni lami ngezenzo zakho nangokuhlakanipha kwakho.

⁶ Kodwa angizange ngikholwe amazwi abo, ngaze ngafika futhi amehlo ami akubona; bheka, angitshelwanga nenxenye yobukhulu bokuhlakanipha kwakho, ngokuba udlula udumo engiluzwile.

⁷ Ayajabula amadoda akho, futhi zibusisiwe lezi zinceku zakho ezimi njalo phambi kwakho futhi zizwa ukuhlakanipha kwakho.

⁸ Makabongwe uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho othokozile ngawe ukuba akubeke esihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi, ube yinkosi kaJehova uNkulunkulu wakho; ngokuba uNkulunkulu wakho wathanda u-Israyeli ukuba awaqinise kuze kube phakade, ngalokho wamisa inkosi yakho phezu kwabo ukwenza ukulunga nokulunga.

⁹ Yanika inkosi amatalenta egolide ayikhulu namashumi amabili, namakha amaningi, namatshe ayigugu; kwakungekho makha anjengalawo indlovukazi yaseSheba eyawanika inkosi uSolomoni.

¹⁰ Futhi izinceku zikaHiramu nezinceku zikaSolomoni, ezaletha igolide livela e-Ofiri, zaletha ama-alum namatshe ayigugu.

¹¹ Ngemithi yomu-aligumi inkosi yenza izithala zendlu kaJehova nezesigodlo senkosi, nezigubhu namahabhu abahlabeleli; futhi wayengakaze abonwe umuntu onjalo ezweni lakwaJuda.

¹² Inkosi uSolomoni yanika indlovukazi yaseSheba konke ekufunayo, nakho konke ekucelile, ngaphandle kwalokho ekulethe enkosini. Wayesephenduka, waya ezweni lakubo, yena nezinceku zakhe.

¹³ Isisindo segolide elatholwa nguSolomoni ngomnyaka owodwa sasingamatalenta angamakhulu ayisithupha namashumi ayisithupha nesithupha;

¹⁴ Ngaphandle kwalokho okwalethwa izigebengu nabathengisi. Wonke amakhosi ase-Arabiya nababusi bezwe baletha igolide nesiliva kuSolomoni.

¹⁵ Inkosi uSolomoni yenza amashekeli angamakhulu amabili egolide elikhandiweyo;

¹⁶ Wenza amahawu angamakhulu amathathu egolide elikhandiweyo; Inkosi yasibeka endlini yehlathi laseLebanoni.

¹⁷ Ngaphezu kwalokho, inkosi yenza isihlalo sobukhosi esikhulu sezinyo lendlovu yasinameka ngegolide elihlanzekile.

¹⁸ Kwakukhona izinyathelo eziyisithupha zesihlalo sobukhosi, nesenabelo sezinyawo segolide, esasinamathele esihlalweni sobukhosi, nezisekelo ngapha nangapha kwesihlalo, kumi izingonyama ezimbili ngasezisekelo.

¹⁹ Kwakumi izingonyama eziyishumi nambili ngalapha nangalapha ezitebhisini eziyisithupha; Akwenziwanga into efana nayo kunoma yimuphi umbuso.

²⁰ Zonke izitsha zokuphuza zenkosi uSolomoni zazingezegolide, nazo zonke izitsha zendlu yehlathi laseLebanoni zazingezegolide elicwengekileyo; lalingento yalutho emihleni kaSolomoni.

²¹ Ngokuba imikhumbi yenkosi yahamba nezinceku zikaHiramu kuya eTharishishi; njalo ngeminyaka emithathu imikhumbi yaseTharishishi yafika iletha igolide, nesiliva, nezimpondo zendlovu, nezinkawu, namapigogo.

²² Inkosi uSolomoni yabadlula wonke amakhosi omhlaba ngenotho langokuhlakanipha.

²³ Wonke amakhosi omhlaba afuna ubuso bukaSolomoni ukuze ezwe ukuhlakanipha kwakhe uNkulunkulu ayekunike enhliziyweni yakhe.

²⁴ Baletha, kwaba yilowo nalowo isipho sakhe: izitsha zesiliva, nezitsha zegolide, nezingubo, nezikhali, namakha, namahhashi, neminyuzi, iminyaka ngeminyaka.

²⁵ USolomoni wayenezitebele eziyizinkulungwane ezine zamahhashi nezezinqola, nabamahhashi abayizinkulungwane eziyishumi nambili; eyakubeka emizini yempi nasenkosini eJerusalema.

²⁶ Wabusa phezu kwawo onke amakhosi kusukela emfuleni kuze kube sezweni lamaFilisti nasemkhawulweni waseGibithe.

²⁷ Inkosi yenza isiliva eJerusalema njengamatshe, yenza nemisedari njengemithombe emithonjeni eminingi.

²⁸ Basebemletha uSolomoni amabhiza eGibhithe lakuwo wonke amazwe.

²⁹ Ezinye izindaba zikaSolomoni, ezokuqala nezokugcina, angithi zilotshiwe encwadini kaNathani umprofethi nasesiprofethweni sika-Ahiya waseShilo nasemibonweni ka-Ido umboni ngoJerobowamu indodana kaNebati na?

³⁰ USolomoni wabusa iminyaka engamashumi amane eJerusalema phezu kuka-Israyeli wonke.

³¹ USolomoni wayeselala koyise, wembelwa emzini kaDavide uyise; uRehobowamu indodana yakhe waba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.
