2 IziKronike 8 Imisebenzi yokwakha emizini kaSolomoni

¹ Kwathi ekupheleni kweminyaka engamashumi amabili uSolomoni eyakha indlu kaJehova nendlu yakhe;

² uSolomoni wakha imizi uHuramu ayibuyisela kuSolomoni, wavumela ukuba abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bahlale khona.

³ USolomoni waya eHamati Zoba, wayinqoba.

⁴ Wakha iTadimori ehlane, nayo yonke imizi yokugcina impahla ayakha eHamati.

⁵ Wakha neBeti Horoni laseNhla neBeti Horoni lasezansi, imizi ebiyelweyo enezindonga, namasango, nemigoqo;

⁶ neBhahalati nayo yonke imizi yokugcina impahla uSolomoni ayenayo, nayo yonke imizi yempi, nemizi yabamahhashi, nakho konke uSolomoni ayethanda ukukwakha eJerusalema, naseLebanoni, nakulo lonke izwe lombuso wakhe.

⁷ Bonke abantu ababesele kumaHeti, nama-Amori, namaPherizi, namaHivi, namaJebusi, ababengebona abakwa-Israyeli,

⁸ Kodwa kubantwana babo abasala ngemva kwabo elizweni, abantwana bakoIsrayeli abangabaqedanga, bamkhokhisa uSolomoni intela kuze kube lamuhla.

⁹ Kepha kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli uSolomoni akenzanga isigqila somsebenzi wakhe; kodwa babengamaqhawe nezinduna zezikhulu zakhe nezinduna zezinqola zakhe nabamahhashi bakhe.

¹⁰ Izinduna zababonisi benkosi uSolomoni zazingamakhulu amabili namashumi ayisihlanu, ezazibusa phezu kwabantu.

¹¹ USolomoni wayikhuphula indodakazi kaFaro emzini kaDavide, wayiyisa endlini ayakhele yona; ngokuba wathi: “Umkami makangahlali endlini kaDavide, inkosi yakwa-Israyeli, ngokuba izindawo ofike kuzo umphongolo kaJehova zingcwele.”

¹² USolomoni wanikela ngeminikelo yokushiswa kuJehova e-altare likaJehova ayelakha phambi kompheme,

¹³ yebo ngokwesilinganiso esithile izinsuku zonke, umnikelo womyalo kaMose, ngamasabatha, nokuthwasa kwenyanga, nangemikhosi, kathathu ngomnyaka, ngomkhosi wesinkwa esingenamvubelo nangomkhosi. Lamasonto, nangomkhosi wamadokodo.

¹⁴ Njengesimiso sikayise uDavide, wamisa izigaba zabapristi enkonzweni yabo, namaLevi ezikhulwini zabo ukuba badumise, bakhonze phambi kwabapristi njengenkonzo yezinsuku zonke, nabalindisango ngokwenkonzo yabo isevisi. Emigwaqweni kuwo onke amasango, ngokuba wamyala kanjalo uDavide umuntu kaNkulunkulu.

¹⁵ Futhi abaphambukanga emyalezweni wenkosi kubapristi namaLevi nganoma iyiphi indaba noma ngengcebo.

¹⁶ Wonke umsebenzi kaSolomoni walungiswa kwaze kwaba lusuku lokubekwa kwesisekelo sendlu kaJehova, yaze yaqedwa. Kanjalo indlu kaJehova yaphelela.

¹⁷ USolomoni waya e-Eziyoni Geberi nase-Eloti ogwini lolwandle ezweni lakwa-Edomi.

¹⁸ UHiramu wamthumelela imikhumbi ngesandla sezinceku zakhe nezinceku ezazilwazi ulwandle; bahamba nezinceku zikaSolomoni e-Ofiri, bathatha khona amatalenta angamakhulu amane namashumi ayisihlanu egolide, baliletha enkosini uSolomoni.
