| 2. | Wesuka wema ngeenyawo uDavide ukumkani, wathi: Ndiphulaphuleni, bazalwana bam, bantu bam. Mna, kwaye kusentliziyweni yam ukuyakhela indlu yokuhlala ityeya yomnqophiso kaYehova, isihlalo seenyawo zikaThixo wethu, ndalungisela ukwakha; |
| 3. | koko uThixo wathi kum, Uze ungalakheli ndlu igama lam, ngokuba uyindoda yemfazwe, uphalaze igazi elininzi. |
| 4. | Ke wandinyula uYehova, uThixo kaSirayeli, endlwini yonke kabawo, ukuba ndibe ngukumkani kumaSirayeli ngonaphakade; ngokuba unyule uYuda ukuba abe yinganga, endlwini kaYuda unyule indlu kabawo, koonyana bakabawo ukholwe ndim, ukuba andenze ukumkani kumaSirayeli onke. |
| 5. | Nakoonyana bam bonke (ngokuba undinike oonyana abaninzi uYehova), unyule uSolomon unyana wam, ukuba ahlale etroneni yobukumkani bukaYehova kumaSirayeli. |
| 6. | Wathi kum, USolomon, unyana wakho, nguye oya kwakha indlu yam neentendelezo zam; ngokuba ndizinyulele yena ukuba abe ngunyana kum, ndibe nguyise kuye mna; |
| 7. | ndibuzinzise ubukumkani bakhe kude kuse ephakadeni, ukuba uthe waqinisela ukuyenza imithetho yam namasiko am, njengoko kunjalo namhla. |
| 8. | Ngoko ke ndiyaniyala emehlweni amaSirayeli onke, ibandla likaYehova, nasezindlebeni zoThixo wethu: gcinani niquqele kuyo yonke imithetho kaYehova uThixo wenu, ukuze nilime eli lizwe lihle, nilishiye libe lilifa koonyana benu emva kwenu, kude kuse ephakadeni. |
| 9. | Ke wena Solomon, nyana wam, uze umazi uThixo kayihlo, umkhonze ngentliziyo epheleleyo, nangomphefumlo ovumayo; ngokuba uYehova uyazingxoka zonke iintliziyo, akuqonde konke ukuyila kweengcinga zabantu. Ukuba uthe wamfuna, wofunyanwa nguwe; ukuba uthe wamshiya, wokulahla mpela. |
| 10. | Uze ulumke ke; ngokuba uYehova ukunyule ukuba wakhe indlu ibe yeyengcwele. Yomelela uyenze. |
| 11. | UDavide wamnika uSolomon unyana wakhe isilinganiso sevaranda, nesezindlu zayo, nesoovimba bayo, nesamagumbi ayo aphezulu, nesamagumbi ayo aphakathi, nesendlu yokucamagusha; |
| 12. | nesilinganiso seento zonke abenazo engcingeni yakhe: eseentendelezo zendlu kaYehova, nesamagumbi onke ngeenxa zonke, nesamagumbi obuncwane bendlu kaThixo, awobuncwane bezinto ezingcwele; |
| 13. | nesamaqela ababingeleli nabaLevi, nesomsebenzi wonke wenkonzo yendlu kaYehova, neseempahla zonke zenkonzo yendlu kaYehova; |
| 14. | nesezinto zegolide, ngokobunzima begolide yeempahla zonke zeenkonzo ngeenkonzo; neseempahla zonke zesilivere, ngokobunzima beempahla zonke zeenkonzo ngeenkonzo; |
| 15. | nobunzima beziphatho zezibane zegolide, nobezibane zazo zegolide, ngokobunzima besiphatho ngesiphatho, nobezibane zazo; nobeziphatho zesilivere ngokobunzima besiphatho, nobezibane zazo, ngokwenkonzo yesiphatho ngesiphatho sezibane; |
| 16. | negolide ngokobunzima beetafile zokucwangcisa izonka, betafile ngetafile, nesilivere yeetafile zesilivere. |
| 17. | Wamnika nesilinganiso seefolokhwe, nesezitya zokutshiza, neseendebe zegolide ecocekileyo; neseendebe zegolide, ngokobunzima bendebe ngendebe neseendebe zesilivere ngokobunzima bendebe ngendebe; |
| 18. | nesesibingelelo sesiqhumiselo segolide ehluziweyo, ngokobunzima; nesilinganiso senqwelo, seekerubhi zegolide, ezolula amaphiko azo, zisithelisa ityeya yomnqophiso kaYehova. |
| 19. | Yonke loo nto, watsho uDavide, yonke imisebenzi yokulinganisa undiqondisile ngokubhala okuvela esandleni sikaYehova, seza phezu kwam. |
| 20. | Wathi uDavide kuSolomon unyana wakhe, Yomelela ukhaliphe, wenze. Musa ukoyika, musa ukuqhiphuka umbilini; ngokuba uYehova uThixo, uThixo wam, unawe; akayi kukuyekela, akayi kukushiya, ude uwugqibe wonke umsebenzi wenkonzo yendlu kaYehova. |
| 21. | Nanga ke amaqela ababingeleli, nawabaLevi bomsebenzi wonke wendlu kaThixo. Banawe kuwo wonke umsebenzi, bonke abaya kubunika ngokuqhutywa yintliziyo ubulumko bomsebenzi wonke; nabathetheli nabantu bonke bowaphulaphula amazwi akho onke. |
