USolomoni uzakhela eyakhe indlu
1Kepha uSolomoni wakha eyakhe indlu iminyaka eyishumi nantathu, wayiqeda yonke indlu yakhe.
2Wakha 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.
3Yafulelwa ngokhuni lomsedari phezu kwemishayo emiswe phezu kwezinsika ezingamashumi amane nanhlanu, eziyishumi nanhlanu luhla.
4Kwakukhona amafasitele ezinhlangeni ezintathu, nokukhanya kwakubhekene nokukhanya ezinhlakeni ezintathu.
5Zonke izicabha nezinsika zazinezinhlangothi ezinezinhlangothi ezine ezilinganayo, zinamafasitele;
6Wenza nompheme wezinsika; ubude balo babuyizingalo ezingamashumi amahlanu, nobubanzi balo buyizingalo ezingamashumi amathathu; umpheme wawuphambi kwazo, nezinye izinsika nogodo olunzima phambi kwazo.
7Wenza umpheme wesihlalo sobukhosi lapho angahlulela khona, umpheme wokwahlulela; futhi yayimbozwe ngemisedari kusukela ekugcineni komunye phansi kuze kufike ekugcineni.
8Indlu yakhe lapho ayehlala khona yayinelinye igceke phakathi kompheme, laliwumsebenzi ofanayo. USolomoni wenzela indodakazi kaFaro indlu enjengalo mpheme, ayithathe yaba ngumkakhe.
9Konke lokhu kwakungamatshe ayigugu, ngokwesilinganiso samatshe abaziweyo, asahwe ngesaha, ngaphakathi nangaphandle, kusukela esisekelweni kuze kufike ophahleni, nangaphandle kuze kube segcekeni elikhulu.
10Isisekelo sasingamatshe ayigugu, amatshe amakhulu, amatshe ayizingalo eziyishumi namatshe ayizingalo eziyisishiyagalombili.
11Ngaphezulu kwakukhona amatshe ayigugu ngokwesilinganiso samatshe abaziweyo nemisedari.
12Igceke elikhulu nxazonke lalinezinhla ezintathu zamatshe abaziweyo nohla lwemishayo yemisedari, ngelegceke elingaphakathi lendlu kaJehova nompheme wendlu.
13Inkosi uSolomoni yathumela yamlanda uHiramu eTire.
14Wayeyindodana yomfelokazi wesizwe sakwaNafetali, uyise engowaseTire, esebenza ngethusi; futhi wayegcwele ukuhlakanipha nokuqondisisa nobuqili ukwenza yonke imisebenzi yethusi. Wafika enkosini uSolomoni, wenza wonke umsebenzi wakhe.
15Wakhanda izinsika ezimbili zethusi, iyileyo naleyo buyizingalo eziyishumi nesishiyagalombili ukuphakama, nomucu oyizingalo eziyishumi nambili uzungeza ngayinye yazo.
16Wenza izihloko ezimbili zethusi elibunjiweyo ukuba zihlale ezihlokweni zezinsika; ukuphakama kwesinye isihloko kwakuyizingalo eziyisihlanu, nokuphakama kwesinye isihloko kwakuyizingalo eziyisihlanu.
17Namanetha omsebenzi ophothiweyo nezimbali zemihlobiso ezenziwe ngamaketanga ezinduneni ezaziphezu kwezinsika; eziyisikhombisa ngesahluko esisodwa, nesikhombisa kwesinye isahluko.
18Wenza izinsika nezinhlu ezimbili nxazonke kwelinye ithango, ukumboza izihloko ezingaphezulu ngamahenge; wenze njalo nangesinye isihloko.
19Izigqoko ezaziphezu kwezinsika emphemeni zaziwumsebenzi womnduze, izingalo ezine.
20Izinduna phezu kwezinsika zombili zazinamapomegranati phezulu malungana nesisu esasiphezu kwentambo; nezinetha zazingamakhulu amabili ngezinhla nxazonke kwesinye isihloko.
21Wazimisa izinsika emphemeni wethempeli, wamisa insika yokunene, wayiqamba ngokuthi uJakini; wamisa insika yesokhohlo, wayibiza ngokuthi uBhowazi.
22Phezu kwezinsika kwakukhona umsebenzi womnduze; kanjalo umsebenzi wezinsika waqedwa.
23Wenza ulwandle olubunjiweyo, izingalo eziyishumi ukusuka kolunye umkhawulo kuze kufike kolunye umkhawulo; laliyizungezile, nokuphakama kwalo kwakuyizingalo eziyisihlanu; umucu oyizingalo ezingamashumi amathathu wawudwengula inhlangothi zonke.
24Phansi konqenqema lwalo kwakukhona amafindo nxazonke, eziyishumi ingalo, ezungeza ulwandle nxazonke; ama-buds abunjwa abe yimigqa emibili uma ephonswe.
25Lwalumi phezu kwezinkabi eziyishumi nambili, ezintathu zibheke enyakatho, ezintathu zibheke entshonalanga, ezintathu zibheke eningizimu, ezintathu zibheke ngasempumalanga; ulwandle lwalubekwe phezu kwabo, nezindluzele zabo zonke zingaphakathi.
26Ugqinsi lwalo lwalungangobubanzi besandla, nomphetho walo wawenziwe njengodini lwendebe, lineluba leminduze; yayinelulwane eliyizinkulungwane ezimbili.
27Wenza nezinyawo eziyishumi zethusi; ubude balo lunye babuyizingalo ezine, nezingalo ezine ububanzi, nezingalo ezintathu ukuphakama.
28Umsebenzi wesisekelo wawunje: zazinemiphetho, imigqa yayiphakathi kwemikhawulo.
29Ezintini ezaziphakathi kwemikhawulo kwakukhona izingonyama, nezinkabi, namakherubi, naphezu konqenqema kwakukhona isisekelo;
30Isisekelo ngasinye sasinamasondo amane ethusi nezingcwecwe zethusi, emagumbini aso omane ayenophahla; ngaphansi kukasinki kwakukhona ophahleni olubunjiwe ezinhlangothini zokwengezwa ngakunye.
31Umlomo wayo phakathi kwesihloko nangaphezulu wawuyingalo, kepha umlomo wayo wawuyindilinga, njengomsebenzi wephini, uyingalo nengxenye; nasemlonyeni wawo kwakukhona okuqoshiwe emaceleni awo, inhlangothi zozine, engesiyindilinga.
32Phansi kwezintambo kwakukhona amasondo amane; izisekelo zamasondo zaziboshelwe esinqeni, ukuphakama kwesondo kwakuyingalo nengalo nengxenye.
33Umsebenzi wamasondo wawunjengokwenziwa kwesondo lenqola; imithi yawo yomlotha, nemikhumbi yawo, nezisekelo zawo, nezipoki zawo, kwakuncibilika konke.
34Kwakukhona izisekelo ezine emagumbini omane esisekelweni sinye, futhi izisekelo zazivela esisekelweni ngokwaso.
35Phezu kwesisekelo kwakuyisiyingi esiyindilinga ukuphakama kwengxenye yengalo, futhi phezu kwesinqe kwakukhona imiphetho yaso nemiphetho yaso.
36Ngoba ezingcwepheni zemiphetho yalo naseceleni kwalo waqopha amakherubi, nezingonyama, namasundu ngokwesilinganiso salolo naso, nenengezo nxazonke.
37Wazenza-ke izisekelo eziyishumi;
38Wasesenza imiganu yokugezela yethusi elitshumi; umganu owodwa wawulemiganu engamatshumi amane, lenditshi ngayinye yayizingalo ezine, lesiceceni esisodwa sezisekelo ezilitshumi.
39Wabeka izisekelo eziyisihlanu ohlangothini lokunene lwendlu neziyisihlanu ohlangothini lwesobunxele lwendlu; walubeka ulwandle ohlangothini lokunene lwendlu, ngasempumalanga, malungana naseningizimu.
40UHiramu wenza imicengezi yokugezela namafosholo nezitsha. Ngakho uHiramu wawuqeda wonke umsebenzi ayewenzele inkosi uSolomoni endlini kaJehova.
41Izinsika ezimbili nezitsha ezimbili zezihloko ezaziphezu kwezinsika ezimbili; nezinzipho zombili zokumboza izitsha ezimbili zezihloko ezaziphezu kwezinsika;
42nezingodo ezingamakhulu amane emilukweni yomibili, izinhlu ezimbili zezinatha okhazimulweni munye ukumboza izindebe ezimbili zezihloko ezaziphezu kwezinsika;
43nezinqola zokugezela eziyishumi, nezitsha eziyishumi ezinqoleni zokugezela;
44nolwandle olulodwa nezinkabi eziyishumi nambili phansi kolwandle;
45Amakhanzi, namafosholo, nezitsha, nazo zonke lezi zinto uHiramu azenzela inkosi uSolomoni, zendlu kaJehova, zazingezethusi elikhazimulayo.
46Inkosi yawathela ethafeni laseJordani emhlabathini wobumba phakathi kweSukoti neSarithani.
47USolomoni waziyeka zonke izitsha zingakalwa, ngokuba zaziziningi kakhulu; nesisindo somthengi asikanqunywa.
48USolomoni wazenza zonke izinto zendlu kaJehova: i-altare legolide, netafula legolide okwakukhona kulo izinkwa zokubukwa;
49nezinti zezibani zegolide elicwengekileyo, eziyisihlanu ngakwesokunene neziyisihlanu ngakwesokhohlo, phambi kwendlu engaphakathi, zinezimbali nezibani nezindlawu zegolide;
50nezitsha, nezinkezo, nezitsha, nezitsha, nemicengezi yomlilo yegolide elicwengekileyo; nezinti zegolide zeminyango yendlu engaphakathi, iNgcwelengcwele, nezeminyango yendlu, eyethempeli.
51Waphela kanjalo wonke umsebenzi inkosi uSolomoni eyayiwenzele indlu kaJehova. USolomoni wangenisa izipho uDavide uyise abezingcwelisile; nesiliva negolide nezitsha wakubeka phansi kwengcebo yendlu kaJehova.
