USolomoni wakhela uJehova indlu
1Kwathi ngomnyaka wamakhulu amane namashumi ayisishiyagalombili emva kokuphuma kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli ezweni laseGibithe, ngomnyaka wesine wokubusa kukaSolomoni kwa-Israyeli, ngenyanga kaSifi, eyinyanga yesibili, waqala. Ukwakha indlu kaJehova.
2Indlu inkosi uSolomoni eyayakhela uJehova, ubude bayo babuyizingalo ezingamashumi ayisithupha, nobubanzi bayo buyizingalo ezingamashumi amabili, nokuphakama kwayo kwakuyizingalo ezingamashumi amathathu.
3Umpheme phambi kwethempeli lendlu ubude bawo wawuyizingalo ezingamashumi amabili, njengobubanzi bendlu; ububanzi buyizingalo eziyishumi phambi kwendlu.
4Wayenzela indlu amafasitele anezibani eziwumngcingo.
5Odongeni lwendlu wakha amakamelo nxazonke, ezingangeni zendlu nxazonke, ithempeli nendlu engaphakathi; wenza namakamelo nxazonke.
6Ikamelo elingaphansi laliyizingalo eziyisihlanu ububanzi, neliphakathi laliyizingalo eziyisithupha ububanzi, nelesithathu laliyizingalo eziyisikhombisa ububanzi; ngoba ngaphandle odongeni lwendlu wenza ukuxabana inhlangothi zonke, ukuze imishayo ingaqini ezindongeni zendlu. Indlu.
7Indlu, lapho yakhiwa, yakhiwa ngamatshe alungisiwe ingakafikiswa khona, ukuze kungezwakali isando, nembazo, nanto yonke yensimbi endlini, isakhiwa.
8Umnyango wekamelo eliphakathi wawungakwesokunene sendlu, futhi bakhuphuka ngezitebhisi ezimazombezombe bangena ekamelweni eliphakathi futhi basuka kweliphakathi baye kwelesithathu.
9Wakha indlu, wayiqeda; wayibekela indlu ngemishayo namapulangwe emisedari.
10Wakha amakamelo ngakuyo yonke indlu, ukuphakama kwawo kwakuyizingalo eziyisihlanu, amiswa phezu kwendlu ngokhuni lomsedari.
11Izwi likaJehova lafika kuSolomoni, lathi:
12Ngale ndlu oyakhayo, uma nihamba ngezimiso zami, nenza izahlulelo zami, nigcina yonke imiyalo yami ukuhamba ngayo; khona ngiyakuligcwalisa kuwe izwi lami engalikhuluma kuyihlo uDavide.
13Ngiyakuhlala phakathi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli, ngingabashiyi abantu bami u-Israyeli.
14USolomoni wayeseyakha indlu, wayiqeda.
15Wazakha izindonga zendlu ngaphakathi ngamapulangwe emisedari, nephansi lendlu, nezindonga zophahla; wayimboza ngokhuni ngaphakathi, wayibekela phansi endlini ngamapulangwe omsayipuresi.
16Wakha izingalo ezingamashumi amabili ezinhlangothini zendlu ngamapulangwe emisedari kusukela phansi kuze kufike odongeni; futhi walakhela yona ngaphakathi, yendlu engaphakathi, yebo, iNgcwelengcwele.
17Indlu, eyithempeli phambi kwayo, yayizingalo ezingamashumi amane ubude.
18Umsedari wendlu ngaphakathi wawubandisiwe imiqumbe nezimbali eziqhakazile; yonke kwakuyimisedari; akubonanga itshe.
19Walungisa ikamelo lokuhlangana endlini ngaphakathi ukuba abeke khona umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova.
20Ingaphakathi elingaphambili laliyizingalo ezingamashumi amabili ubude nezingalo ezingamashumi amabili ububanzi nezingalo ezingamashumi amabili ukuphakama; wayinameka ngegolide elicwengekileyo; lasibekela i-altare ngokhuni lomsedari.
21Ngakho uSolomoni wayimboza indlu ngaphakathi ngegolide elicwengekileyo; wayinameka ngegolide.
22Wayihuqa yonke indlu ngegolide, waze wayiqeda yonke indlu; walinameka i-altare lonke elisendlini engaphakathi ngegolide.
23Wenza amakherubi amabili ngomuthi womnqumo ngaphakathi, yilelo nalelo laliyizingalo eziyishumi ukuphakama.
24Elinye iphiko lekherubi laliyizingalo ezinhlanu, nelinye iphiko lekherubi laliyizingalo ezinhlanu; kusukela ekupheleni kolunye uphiko kuze kufike ekugcineni kwelinye kwakuyizingalo eziyishumi.
25Elinye ikherubi laliyizingalo eziyishumi; womabili amakherubi ayeyisilinganiso sinye nesimo sinye.
26Ukuphakama kwelinye ikherubi kwakuyizingalo eziyishumi, kanjalo nelinye ikherubi.
27Wawabeka amakherubi endlini engaphakathi, andelula amaphiko amakherubi, kwaze kwathi iphiko lelinye lathinta odongeni, nephiko lelinye ikherubi lathinta olunye udonga; amaphiko azo athintana phakathi nendlu.
28Wawahuqa amakherubi ngegolide.
29Waqopha zonke izindonga zendlu nxazonke ngezithombe ezibaziweyo zamakherubi, namasundu, nezimbali eziqhakazile, ngaphakathi nangaphandle.
30Wasembesa iphansi lendlu ngegolide, ngaphakathi nangaphandle.
31Umnyango wekamelo elingaphakathi wenzela izicabha zomuthi womnqumo; ikhothamo nezinsika ezisemaceleni kwakuyingxenye yesihlanu yodonga.
32Izicabha ezimbili zazingezemithi yomnqumo; waqopha phezu kwalo imifanekiso yamakherubi, neyamasundu, neyezimbali eziqhakazileyo, walimboza ngegolide, wendlala igolide phezu kwamakherubi naphezu kwemithi yesundu.
33Ngakho wenza ingxenye yesine yodonga lweminyango yethempeli ngomuthi womnqumo.
34Izicabha zombili zazingomsayiphuresi; izicabha ezimbili zomunye umnyango zasongwa, nezicabha ezimbili zomunye umnyango zasongwa.
35Waqopha phezu kwamakherubi namasundu nezimbali eziqhakazile, walimboza ngegolide elaligcotshwe ezithombeni.
36Wakha igceke elingaphakathi ngezinhla ezintathu zamatshe abaziweyo nohla lwemishayo yemisedari.
37Ngomnyaka wesine isisekelo sendlu kaJehova sabekwa, ngenyanga kaSifi;
38Kwathi ngomnyaka weshumi nanye, ngenyanga kaNkunzi, eyinyanga yesishiyagalombili, yaqedwa indlu kuzo zonke izici zayo nangokwendlela yayo yonke. Ngakho wachitha iminyaka eyisikhombisa eyakha.
