1 IziKronike 28 UDavide ukhuluma nabantu

¹ UDavide wayenazo zonke izinduna zakwa-Israyeli, izinduna zezizwe nezinduna zezigaba ezikhonza inkosi, nezinduna zezinkulungwane, nezinduna zamakhulu, nababonisi bazo zonke izimpahla nempahla yenkosi, nabanye. Emadodaneni akhe, nababonisi, nabanye bamaqhawe, nawo onke amaqhawe, kwaze kwaba seJerusalema.

² Inkosi uDavida yasisukuma yathi: Ngizweni, bafowethu labantu bami! isenabelo sezinyawo zikaNkulunkulu wethu, salungiselelwa ukwakha.

³ Kodwa uNkulunkulu wathi kimi: Kawuyikwakhela ibizo lami indlu, ngoba wawuyiqhawe, wachitha igazi.

⁴ Kepha uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli wangikhetha phezu kwayo yonke indlu kababa ukuba ngibe yinkosi kwa-Israyeli kuze kube phakade, ngokuba wakhetha uJuda ukuba abe ngumbusi; nendlu kaJuda, indlu kababa; futhi phakathi kwamadodana kababa wayethanda ukuthi ngizenze inkosi phezu kukaIsrayeli wonke.

⁵ Kuwo wonke amadodana ami, ngokuba uJehova wangipha amadodana amaningi, wakhetha uSolomoni indodana yami ukuba ahlale esihlalweni sobukhosi sombuso kaJehova kwa-Israyeli.

⁶ Wathi kimi: USolomoni indodana yakho, nguyena oyakwakha indlu yami namagceke ami, ngokuba ngimkhethile ukuba abe yindodana yami, mina ngibe nguyise kuyo.

⁷ Ngiyakuqinisa umbuso wakhe kuze kube phakade, uma ephikelela ukwenza imiyalo yami nezimiso zami njenganamuhla.

⁸ Ngakho-ke, phambi kwamehlo ka-Israyeli wonke, bambani umhlangano kaJehova nasezindlebeni zikaNkulunkulu wethu, nifune yonke imiyalo kaJehova uNkulunkulu wenu, ukuze nilidle leli zwe elihle, nilisebenzise. Kube ‘yifa labantwana bakho kuze kube phakade emva kwakho.

⁹ Wena-ke, ndodana yami, Solomoni, yazi wena uNkulunkulu kayihlo, umkhonze ngenhliziyo epheleleyo langengqondo evumayo; ngokuba uJehova uhlola zonke izinhliziyo, uqonda yonke imicabango yemicabango; uma nimfuna, niyotholwa; kepha uma umshiya, uyakukulahla kuze kube phakade.

¹⁰ Qaphelani manje; ngokuba uJehova ukukhethile ukuba wakhe indlu yendlu engcwele; qina ukwenze.

¹¹ UDavida wasenika uSolomoni indodana yakhe isibonelo sevaranda, lezindlu zakhe, lengcebo yakhe, leamakamelo akhe angaphezulu, lamakamelo akhe angaphakathi, lendawo yesihlalo somusa,

¹² nesibonelo sakho konke ayenakho ngomoya, samagceke endlu kaJehova, nesawo wonke amakamelo nxazonke, nengcebo yendlu kaNkulunkulu, neyengcebo yezipho ezingcwele;

¹³ nezigaba zabapristi namaLevi nezawo wonke umsebenzi wenkonzo yendlu kaJehova nezazo zonke izinto zenkonzo yendlu kaJehova.

¹⁴ Wanika igolide ngesisindo sezinto zegolide, lazo zonke izinto zokusebenza zenkonzo yonke; nesiliva lazo zonke izinto zesiliva ngesisindo, lazo zonke izitsha zenkonzo yenkonzo;

¹⁵ Isisindo sezinti zezibani zegolide nezibani zazo zegolide ngokwesisindo salolo luthi lwesibani nezibani zalo; nezinti zezibani zesiliva ngesisindo sothi lwezibani nezibani zalo njengomsebenzi walolo nalolo luthi lwesibani.

¹⁶ Ngesisindo wakhipha igolide lamatafula ezinkwa zokubukwa, itafula ngalinye; kanjalo nesiliva lamatafula esiliva;

¹⁷ negolide elicwengekileyo lamagumbi enyama, nezitsha, nezindebe; nezitsha zegolide ngesisindo sezitsha ngazinye; nenani lesiliva ngesisindo sawo wonke umcengezi wesiliva.

¹⁸ Ne-altare lempepho ngesisindo segolide elicwengekileyo; negolide njengesibonelo senqola yamakherubi ayelule amaphiko awo, asibekela umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova.

¹⁹ “Konke lokho,” kusho uDavide, “uJehova wangiqondisa ngokulotshwa ngesandla sakhe phezu kwami, zonke izenzo zalesi sibonelo.

²⁰ UDavide wayesethi kuSolomoni indodana yakhe: “Qina, ume isibindi, ukwenze; ungesabi, ungapheli amandla, ngokuba uJehova uNkulunkulu, uNkulunkulu wami, unawe; akayikukuyeka, akushiye, uze uqede wonke umsebenzi wenkonzo yendlu kaJehova.

²¹ Bheka, izigaba zabapristi namaLevi ziyakuba nawe kuyo yonke inkonzo yendlu kaNkulunkulu; futhi izikhulu kanye nabo bonke abantu bayoba ngokuvumelana nawe ngokuphelele.
