1uSolomon wayakha indlu yakhe iminyaka elishumi elinamithathu, wayigqiba indlu yakhe yonke. 2Wakha indlu ehlathini laseLebhanon; Yaba ziikubhite ezilikhulu ubude, zaba ziikubhite ezimashumi mahlanu ububanzi, neekubhite ezimashumi mathathu ukuphakama, phezu kwemikrozo emine yeentsika zomsedare, ezinemiqadi echweliweyo yemisedare phezu kweentsika ezo. 3Kwaye yaxhonywa ngomsedare phezu kwemiqadi eyayiphezu kweentsika ezingamashumi amane anantlanu, ishumi elinesihlanu lukroze ngalunye. 4Kwakukho iifestile kwimiqolo emithathu, yaye ukukhanya kwakujongene nokukhanya ngokwamanqanaba amathathu. 5Zonke iingcango nemigubasi yayinamacala amane alinganayo, neefestile; 6Wenza iivaranda ngeentsika; baba ziikubhite ezimashumi mahlanu ubude, baziikubhite ezimashumi mathathu ububanzi bayo; Iveranda yayiphambi kwazo, yaye ezinye iintsika nemiqadi yayiphambi kwazo. 7Wenza intendelezo yetrone, apho abegweba khona, nevaranda yamatyala; yaye yayifulelwe ngomsedare ukusuka kwelinye icala lomgangatho ukuya kwelinye. 8Indlu yakhe awayehlala kuyo yayinenye intendelezo phakathi ngasevarandeni, yasetyenzwa kwangokunjalo. uSolomon wayakhela indlu enjalo intombi kaFaro, awayizekayo ukuba ibe ngumkakhe. 9Zonke ezo zinto bezizezamatye anqabileyo, ngokomlinganiso wamatye aqingqiweyo, asarhiweyo ngeesarha, ngaphakathi nangaphandle, ethabathela esisekweni esa eluphahleni, nangaphandle esa entendelezweni enkulu. 10Useko lwalungamatye anqabileyo, amatye amakhulu, amatye eekubhite ezilishumi, amatye eekubhite ezisibhozo. 11Ngaphezulu bekukho amatye anqabileyo ngokwesilinganiso samatye aqingqiweyo nemisedare. 12Intendelezo enkulu ejikelezileyo yayineengcamba ezintathu zamatye aqingqiweyo, nocamba lwemisedare, yeyantendelezo engaphakathi yendlu kaYehova, neyeevaranda zendlu. 13Ukumkani uSolomon wathumela ukuba kuthathwe uHiram eTire. 14Waye engunyana womhlolokazi wesizwe sakwaNafetali, yaye uyise eyindoda yaseTire, esebenza ngobhedu; yaye wayezele bubulumko nengqiqo nokuqonda ukuze enze yonke imisebenzi ngobhedu. Weza kuKumkani uSolomon waza wawenza wonke umsebenzi wakhe. 15Wenza iintsika zambini zobhedu: yalishumi elinesibhozo iikubhite ukuphakama kwayo, nomtya oziikubhite ezilishumi elinambini ngeenxa zonke inye. 16Wenza iintloko ezimbini zobhedu zokuhlala phezu kweentsika ezo: ukuphakama kwentloko enye kuziikubhite ezintlanu, ukuphakama kwentloko enye kuziikubhite ezintlanu; 17wenze iminatha ngelaphu, nezithsaba, nezithsaba, ezenziwe ngemixokelelwane, zabaphathiswa ababephezu kweentsika; ezisixhenxe kwisahluko esinye, nesixhenxe kwesinye isahluko. 18Wenza iintsika zambini, zambini ngeenxa zonke emgangathweni; wenjenjalo nakweyesibini intloko. 19Iminqwazi ebiseentsika ezo, ibingumsebenzi weenyibiba, ngokwevaranda, iziikubhite ezine; 20Iintloko zeentsika zombini zazineerharnate phezulu, malunga nesisu esibe selangeni; nezithsaba ezimakhulu mabini, zikroze kukrozo lwentloko enye. 21Wazimisa iintsika phezu kophahla lwetempile, wayimisa intsika ngasekunene, wathi ukuyibiza yiYakin; wayimisa intsika ngasekhohlo, wabiza uBhohazi. 22Ngaphezu kweentsika ezo bekukho umsebenzi weenyibiba; wagqitywa ke umsebenzi weentsika. 23Wenza ulwandle olutyhidiweyo: lwaziikubhite ezilishumi, kwathabathela kwelinye icala kwesa kwelinye; ibingqukuva, ukuphakama kwayo kube ziikubhite ezintlanu; yaye umtya oziikubhite ezimashumi mathathu wawujikelezile ngeenxa zonke. 24Ngaphantsi komjikelo walo kwakukho amaqhina ajikelezileyo, aziikubhite ezilishumi ubude bawo, alujikelezile ulwandle olo; i-buds yenziwa kwimiqolo emibini ukuba yenziwe. 25Wema phezu kweenkomo ezilishumi elinambini: ezintathu zibheke entla, ezintathu zibheke entshonalanga, ezintathu zibheke ezantsi, ezintathu zibheke empumalanga; kwaye ulwandle lwaba phezu kwabo, namaxhama abo onke ekukho. 26Ukuphakama kwalo bebungangobubanzi besandla; udini lwalo belwenziwe lwanjengodini lwendebe, lwaneentyantyambo zeenyibiba; lalinamawaka amabini amalulwane. 27Wenza izixhaso zalishumi ngobhedu; ubude becala elinye baba ziikubhite ezine, ububanzi baba ziikubhite ezine, nokuphakama kwayo kwakuziikubhite ezintathu. 28Isihlalo sasinje: Zazinezibopho, nemithambo phakathi kwemiphetho. 29Yaye kwiingcango ezisesazulwini samacala kwakukho iingonyama, iinkunzi zeenkomo neekherubhi, yaye phezu kwezi ngongoma kwakukho intsika, yaye ngaphantsi kweengonyama neenkomo kwakukho izimvu, ezibhityileyo. 30Inqaba nganye yayinemilenze emine yobhedu neepleyiti zobhedu, neekona zayo zone zinezakhiwo; ngaphantsi komhadi kwakukho uphahla ngapha nangapha. 31Umlomo wayo wawuyikubhite enye entloko nangaphezulu; emlonyeni wawo kwakukho imifanekiso eqingqiweyo, emacaleni awo, ububanzi, ingengqukuva. 32Phantsi kweentambo beziziivili ezine; izibonda zeevili ezo zahlangana nesiseko, ukuphakama kwevili bekuyikubhite enye enesiqingatha. 33Ukwenziwa kweevili bekunjengokwenziwa kweevili zeenqwelo zonke; 34Kwakukho izixhaso ezine ezimbombeni zone zesiseko esinye, yaye iziseko zaziziziseko. 35Ngaphezu kwesiseko esijikelezileyo kwakukho isangqa esisisiqingatha sekubhite ukuphakama kwayo; 36Emacwecweni ayo neziphelo zayo wayebhale iikerubhi, iingonyama namasundu, ngokomlinganiso wayo, nezidanga ngeenxa zonke. 37Wenza izihlalo zalishumi; 38Wenza izitya zokutshiza zobhedu zalishumi: isitya esinye sasiziikubhite ezimashumi mane, isitya ngasinye sasiziikubhite ezine, isitya esinye phezu kweentsika ezilishumi. 39Wabeka izixhaso zantlanu ngasekunene kwendlu, zantlanu ngecala lasekhohlo layo indlu; walubeka ulwandle ngasekunene kwendlu, ngecala lasempumalanga, ngecala lasezantsi. 40uHuram wenza izitya zokuhlambela, nemihlakulwana, nezitya zokutshiza. Wawugqiba ke uHiram wonke umsebenzi abewenzela ukumkani uSolomon, wendlu kaYehova: 41iintsika zombini, neembumba ezimbini zentloko, ezibe zeentsika zombini; naentsontelo zombini, ezo zitsala iimbumba ezimbini zeentloko zeentsika ezo; 42namakhulu amane eenwele zeentsontelo ezimbini, imikrozo emibini yentambo emtya mnye yokuzunguleza iimbumba ezimbini zentloko, ezibe zisezintsikeni zombini; 43neenqwelo zokuhlambela ezilishumi, nezitya zokuhlambela ezilishumi eenqwelo zokuhlambela; 44nolwandle olunye, neenkomo ezilishumi elinambini ngaphantsi kolwandle olo; 45Iimbiza nemihlakulwana nezitya zonke ezi zixhobo uHuram awazenzela ukumkani uSolomon zendlu kaYehova zazizezobhedu olukhazimlisiweyo. 46uYehova wazigalela entlango yaseYordan, emhlabeni wodongwe phakathi kweSukoti neSartan. 47Waziyeka uSolomon zonke izitya zingalinganiswanga, ngokuba bezizininzi kakhulu; kwaye ubunzima bomthengi abukamiselwa. 48uSolomon wazenza zonke iimpahla zendlu kaYehova, nesibingelelo segolide, netafile yegolide ebezikuyo izonka zokubonisa; 49neziphatho zezibane zegolide ecocekileyo: zazihlanu ngasekunene, zazihlanu ngasekhohlo, phambi kwendlu engaphakathi, neentyantyambo, nezibane, namalaphu egolide; 50nezitya, nezitya zokutshiza, neenkamba, neengcedevu zegolide ecocekileyo; nemigubasi yendlu engaphakathi yegolide, yengcwele kangcwele, neengcango zendlu leyo eyeyotempile. 51Wagqitywa ke wonke umsebenzi awawenzela indlu kaYehova uKumkani uSolomon. uSolomon wayizisa imibingelelo, abeyingcwalisile uDavide uyise; nesilivere, negolide, nempahla, wazibeka phantsi kobuncwane bendlu kaYehova.
