1 Imilando 28
1 UDavida wasebuthanisa zonke iziphathamandla zakoIsrayeli, iziphathamandla zezizwe, leziphathamandla zezigaba ezazisebenzela inkosi, labaphathi bezinkulungwane, labaphathi bamakhulu, labaphathi bempahla yonke labezifuyo zenkosi labezamadodana ayo, lezinduna, lamaqhawe, lawo wonke amaqhawe alamandla, eJerusalema.
Dawudi n’akuŋŋaanya abakungu bonna aba Isirayiri e Yerusaalemi ng’omwo mwe muli abakulu b’ebika, n’abakulu b’ebitongole abaaweerezanga kabaka, n’abaduumizi ab’olukumi, n’abaduumizi ab’ekikumi, n’abakungu abaavunaanyizibwanga eby’obugagga n’amagana ebyali ebya kabaka ne batabani be, n’abakungu ab’omu lubiri, n’abasajja ab’amaanyi era n’abasajja bonna abazira.
2 UDavida inkosi wasesima ngenyawo zakhe wathi: Ngilalelani, bafowethu labantu bami. Mina, kwakusenhliziyweni yami ukwakhela umtshokotsho wesivumelwano seNkosi indlu yokuphumula, leyisigcabha senyawo zikaNkulunkulu wethu, ngenza amalungiselelo okwakha.
Awo kabaka Dawudi n’ayimirira n’ayogera nti, “Mumpulirize baganda bange era abantu bange. Nnali nteseeteese mu mutima gwange okuzimbira essanduuko ey’endagaano ya Mukama n’entebe ey’ebigere bya Katonda, ennyumba, era nga nentegeka eyaayo ewedde okukolebwa.
3 Kodwa uNkulunkulu wathi kimi: Kawuyikulakhela ibizo lami indlu, ngoba wena ungumuntu wempi, uchithe igazi elinengi.
Naye Katonda n’aŋŋamba nti, ‘Tolinzimbira linnya lyange nnyumba, kubanga oli mutabaazi wa ntalo era wayiwa omusaayi.’
4 Kanti iNkosi uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli yangikhetha kuyo yonke indlu kababa ukuthi ngibe yinkosi phezu kukaIsrayeli kuze kube nininini; ngoba yakhetha uJuda ukuba ngumbusi, lendlini yakoJuda indlu kababa; laphakathi kwamadodana kababa yangithanda ukungenza ngibe yinkosi phezu kukaIsrayeli wonke.
“Naye ate Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri yannonda mu nnyumba ya kitange yonna okuba kabaka wa Isirayiri emirembe gyonna. Yalonda Yuda okuba omukulembeze, ne mu nnyumba ya Yuda n’alondamu ennyumba ya kitange, ne mu batabani ba kitange n’asiima okunfuula kabaka wa Isirayiri yenna.
5 Lakuwo wonke amadodana ami (ngoba iNkosi yanginika amadodana amanengi) yakhetha uSolomoni indodana yami ukuthi ahlale esihlalweni sobukhosi sombuso weNkosi phezu kukaIsrayeli.
Mu batabani bange bonna, kubanga Mukama ampadde bangi, Sulemaani mutabani wange gw’alonze okutuula ku ntebe ey’obwakabaka bwa Mukama mu Isirayiri.
6 Yasisithi kimi: USolomoni indodana yakho nguye ozakwakha indlu yami lamaguma ami, ngoba ngimkhethile ukuba yindodana yami, lami ngizakuba nguyise.
Yaŋŋamba nti, ‘Sulemaani mutabani wo y’alizimba ennyumba yange n’empya zange, kubanga mmulonze okuba omwana wange, era nange n’abeeranga kitaawe.
7 Njalo ngizawuqinisa umbuso wakhe kuze kube nininini uba eqina ukwenza imilayo yami lezahlulelo zami njengalamuhla.
Ndinyweza obwakabaka bwe emirembe gyonna, bwatalirekayo okugondera ebiragiro byange n’amateeka gange nga bwe bigobelerwa mu nnaku zino.’
8 Ngakho-ke phambi kwamehlo kaIsrayeli wonke, ibandla leNkosi, lendlebeni zikaNkulunkulu wethu, gcinani lidinge yonke imilayo yeNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu, ukuze lidle ilifa lalelilizwe elihle, lenze abantwana benu badle ilifa lalo emva kwenu kuze kube nininini.
“Kaakano nkukuutira mu lujjudde lwonna olwa Isirayiri, ekuŋŋaaniro lya Mukama, ne Katonda waffe ng’awulira, nti weekuume okugondera ebiragiro ebya Mukama Katonda wo, olyoke olye ensi eno ennungi era (n’abazzukulu) n’abaana ab’obusika bwo bagisikirenga emirembe gyonna.
9 Wena-ke, Solomoni ndodana yami, mazi uNkulunkulu kayihlo, umkhonze ngenhliziyo epheleleyo langengqondo evumayo; ngoba iNkosi iyazihlola zonke inhliziyo, iqedisise konke ukuzindla kwemicabango. Uba uyidinga, izatholwa nguwe; kodwa uba uyitshiya, izakulahla kokuphela.
“Era Sulemaani mutabani wange tegeera Katonda wa kitaawo, omuweerezenga n’omutima gumu n’emmeeme yo yonna, kubanga Mukama akebera emitima, era ategeera okufumiitiriza okw’ebirowoozo. Bw’onoomunoonyanga, onoomulabanga, naye bw’onoomulekanga, anaakuvangako emirembe gyonna.
10 Bona-ke, ngoba iNkosi ikukhethile ukuthi wakhe indlu ibe yindlu engcwele; qina, ukwenze.
Kaakano weekuume, kubanga Mukama akulonze okuzimba ennyumba ey’okusinzizangamu. Ba n’amaanyi, okole omulimu.”
11 UDavida wasenika uSolomoni indodana yakhe umdwebo wekhulusi, lowezindlu zalo, loweziphala zezinto eziligugu, lowamakamelo aphezulu, lowamakamelo aphakathi, lowendlu yesihlalo somusa.
Awo Dawudi n’akwasa Sulemaani mutabani we ekyokulabirako eky’ekisasi kya yeekaalu, n’ebizimbe byabyo, n’amawanika gaayo, n’ebisenge ebya waggulu, n’ebisenge eby’omunda, n’ekifo eky’entebe ey’okusaasira.
12 Lomdwebo wakho konke ayelakho ngoMoya, lowamaguma endlu yeNkosi, lowamakamelo wonke azingelezeleyo, loweziphala zezinto eziligugu zendlu kaNkulunkulu, loweziphala zokuligugu zezinto ezingcwele,
Yamuwa n’enteekateeka ya buli kintu nga eky’empya za yeekaalu ya Mukama, n’ebisenge, ebyali bigiriranye, n’amawanika ga yeekaalu ya Mukama, n’ebintu byonna ebyawongebwa, ng’Omwoyo bwe yali agitadde ku mutima gwe.
13 lowezigaba zabapristi lezamaLevi, lowomsebenzi wonke wenkonzo yendlu yeNkosi, lowezitsha zonke zenkonzo yendlu yeNkosi.
Yamuwa n’ebiragiro eby’okugobereranga ku bibinja bya bakabona, n’Abaleevi, n’olw’omulimu gwonna ogw’okuweerezanga mu yeekaalu ya Mukama, n’olw’ebintu byonna ebyakozesebwanga mu kuweereza mu nnyumba ya Mukama.
14 Wapha igolide ngesisindo ngezinto zegolide, ngempahla yonke yenkonzo ngenkonzo, ngempahla yonke yesiliva ngesisindo, ngempahla yonke yenkonzo ngenkonzo,
Yawaayo ebipimo ebya zaabu olw’ebintu byonna ebya zaabu ebyasabwanga buli mulundi, n’ebipimo ebya ffeeza olw’ebintu byonna ebya ffeeza ebyakozesebwanga buli mulundi;
15 lesisindo sezinti zesibane zegolide, lezibane zazo zegolide, ngesisindo soluthi lwesibane ngalunye lezibane zalo, langezinti zesibane zesiliva, ngesisindo soluthi lwesibane lezibane zalo, njengomsebenzi woluthi lwesibane ngalunye.
n’ebipimo eby’ettabaaza eza zaabu, n’ettabaaza zaakwo, n’ebipimo ebya zaabu ebya buli kikondo n’ettabaaza yaakyo, n’ebipimo ebya buli kikondo ekya ffeeza n’ettabaaza yaakyo;
16 Wasenika igolide ngesisindo lamatafula ezinkwa zokubukiswa, ngalelo lalelotafula, lesiliva samatafula esiliva.
n’ebipimo ebya zaabu eby’emmeeza ez’emigaati emitukuze egy’okulaga, n’ebipimo ebya ffeeza eby’emmeeza eza ffeeza;
17 Lamafologwe lemiganu yokufafaza lezinkezo zegolide elicwengekileyo, langezitsha zegolide ngesisindo saleso lalesositsha, langezitsha zesiliva ngesisindo saleso lalesositsha.
n’ebipimo ebya zaabu ennongoose eya wuuma, n’ebbakuli ezimasamasa, n’ekikopo, n’ebipimo ebya zaabu eby’ebbakuli eza zaabu, n’ebipimo ebya ffeeza eby’ebbakuli eza ffeeza;
18 Langelathi lempepha igolide elicwengekileyo ngesisindo, langomdwebo wenqola yamakherubhi egolide elule impiko agubuzela umtshokotsho wesivumelwano seNkosi.
n’ebipimo ebya zaabu ennongoose ey’ekyoto eky’obubaane. N’amuwa n’enteekateeka ey’eggaali, be bakerubi aba zaabu abanjala ebiwaawaatiro byabwe ne babikka ku ssanduuko ey’endagaano ya Mukama.
19 UDavida wathi: Konke lokhu iNkosi yenza ngikuqedisise ngombhalo ngesandla sayo phezu kwami, yonke imisebenzi yomdwebo.
Awo Dawudi n’ayogera nti, “Ebyo byonna biri mu buwandiike, kubanga omukono gwa Mukama gwali wamu nange, era yampa okukitegeerera ddala.”
20 UDavida wasesithi kuSolomoni indodana yakhe: Qina, ube lesibindi, usebenze; ungesabi, ungatshaywa luvalo; ngoba iNkosi uNkulunkulu, uNkulunkulu wami, ilawe. Kayisoze yakulahla, kayisoze yakutshiya, uze uqede umsebenzi wonke wenkonzo yendlu yeNkosi.
Dawudi n’ayongera n’agamba Sulemaani mutabani we nti, “Ba n’amaanyi era guma omwoyo, okole omulimu. Totya so totekemuka wadde okuggwamu omwoyo, kubanga Mukama Katonda, Katonda wange ali wamu naawe. Taakwabulirenga so taakulekenga okutuusa omulimu gwonna ogw’okuweereza ogwa yeekaalu ye Mukama nga guwedde.
21 Khangela-ke, izigaba zabapristi lezamaLevi, zenkonzo yonke yendlu kaNkulunkulu; njalo kuzakuba lawe kuwo wonke umsebenzi, wonke oyingcitshi ovumayo kuyo yonke inkonzo, labaphathi labo bonke abantu bazakuba njengokulaya kwakho konke.
Era, laba, ebibiina bya bakabona n’Abaleevi beeteefuteefu okukola omulimu ku yeekaalu ya Katonda, na buli musajja omumanyirivu mu kuweesa okw’engeri zonna anaakuyamba mu mulimu gwonna. Era n’abakungu wamu n’abantu bonna banaagonderanga buli kiragiro kyo.”
