1Wathi uDavide, Yiyo le indlu kaYehova uThixo; siso esi isibingelelo sedini elinyukayo sikaSirayeli.
2Wathi uDavide, mabawomele kuye abasemzini abasezweni lakwaSirayeli; wamisa abaqingqi bokuqingqa amatye axholiweyo, okwakha indlu kaThixo. 3UDavide walungisa isinyithi sasininzi sezikhonkwane zeengcango zamasango nesezibandakanyiso; nobhedu lwaluninzi, àlwaba nakulinganiswa; 4nemisedare• engenakubalwa; ngokuba abaseTsidon nabaseTire bazisa imisedare yamininzi kuDavide. 5Wathi uDavide, USolomon unyana wam mncinane, uthambile; ke indlu eza kwakhelwa uYehova yeyokukhulisa, inyuse igama lakhe nodumo lwakhe emazweni onke; ngoko ke ndokha ndimlungiselele. Walungisa ke kakhulu uDavide phambi kokufa kwakhe.
6Wambiza uSolomon unyana wakhe, wamwisela umthetho wokuba amakhele uYehova, uThixo kaSirayeli, indlu. 7Wathi uDavide kuSolomon, Nyana wam, ndandisithi entliziyweni yam, ndiya kulakhela igama likaYehova uThixo wam indlu. 8Ke lafika kum ilizwi likaYehova, lisithi, Uphalazé igazi lalininzi, wenza iimfazwe ezinkulu; akuyi kulakhela ndlu igama lam, ngokuba uphalaze igazi elininzi ehlabathini phambi kwam. 9Yabona, uya kuzalelwa unyana; yena uya kuba yindoda yoxolo; ndiya kumphumza ezintshabeni zakhe zonke ngeenxa zonke; ngokuba liya kuba nguSolomon• igama lakhe, ndiwanike uxolo nokuzola amaSirayeli ngeemini zakhe. 10Nguye oya kulakhela igama lam indlu. Yena uya kuba ngunyana kum, mna ndibe nguyise kuye, ndiyizinzise itrone yobukumkani bakhe kumaSirayeli, kude kuse ephakadeni.
11Kaloku, nyana wam, uYehova makabe nawe, ube nempumelelo, uyakhe indlu kaYehova uThixo wakho, njengoko akuthethileyo ngawe. 12Kodwa ke uYehova makakunike ukuqiqa nokuqonda, akuwisele umthetho ngamaSirayeli, ukuba uwugcine umyalelo kaYehova uThixo wakho. 13Ùya kwandula ukuba nempumelelo, xa uthe wakugcina ukuyenza imimiselo namasiko, awathi uYehova wamwisela uMoses umthetho ngawo ngenxa yamaSirayeli. Yomelela ukhaliphe; musa ukoyika, ungaqhiphuki umbilini.
14Uyabona, ngemigudu yam indlu kaYehova ndiyilungisele ikhulu lamawaka eetalente zegolide,• nesigidi esinye seetalente zesilivere,• nobhedu nesinyithi, into engenakulinganiselwa ukuba ninzi kwayo; ndilungisé nemithi namatye; nawe ungóngeza kwezo zinto. 15Unabo bebaninzi abasebenzi bomsebenzi, abaxholi neengcibi zamatye nezemithi, nabalumkileyo emisebenzini yonke. 16Igolide, nesilivere, nobhedu, nesinyithi, yinto engenakubalwa. Suk' ume, wenze, uYehova abe nawe.
17UDavide wabawisela umthetho bonke abathetheli bakwaSirayeli, ukuba bamncede uSolomon unyana wakhe, wathi, 18Àkanáni yini na uYehova uThixo wenu, waniphumza ngeenxa zonke? Ngokuba wabanikela esandleni sam abemi belizwe eli; loyiswa ilizwe eli phambi koYehova, naphambi kwabantu bakhe. 19Ke ngoko zinikeleni iintliziyo zenu nemiphefumlo yenu ekumquqeleni uYehova uThixo wenu; sukani nime, niyakhe ingcwele kaYehova uThixo, ningenise ityeya yomnqophiso kaYehova, neempahla ezingcwele zikaThixo, endlwini leyo iya kwakhelwa igama likaYehova.
