20 “UNdikhoyo ke usigcinile eso sithembiso wasenzayo. Naku ngoku ndingene esikhundleni sikabawo uDavide. Ewe, ndichophe kwisihlalo sokulawula sakwaSirayeli ngokwesithembiso sikaNdikhoyo, ndaza ndalakhela indlu igama likaNdikhoyo uThixo kaSirayeli.
21 Ndiyenzele indawo ityesi equlathe umnqophiso kaNdikhoyo awayewenze noobawo ekubakhululeni kwakhe kwelaseJiputa.”
22 Ke kaloku uSolomon wema phambi kweqonga *likaNdikhoyo, apho phambi kwaloo nginginya yebandla likaSirayeli, waza izandla zakhe waziphakamisela ezulwini,
23 wathi:“Ewe, Ndikhoyo, Thixo kaSirayeli, akakho uthixo onjengawe, nditsho ezulwini phezulu nasemhlabeni phantsi. Kaloku ungulowo uwugcinayo umnqophiso wakho wokuzithanda izicaka zakho ezithe rhoqo ngomxhelo wazo wonke ukuhamba ezindleleni zakho.
24 Nangoku ke usigcinile isithembiso sakho kwisicaka sakho uDavide ubawo. Wathembisa ngomlomo wakho; kunamhlanje-nje ke ufezekisile ngesandla sakho.
25 “Nangoku ke, Ndikhoyo, Thixo kaSirayeli, isicaka sakho uDavide ubawo khawumgcinele ezo zithembiso wamenzela zona usithi: ‘Akusoze ungabi nayo indoda yokuchopha phambi kwam kwisihlalo sokulawula sakwaSirayeli, ukuba kodwa oonyana bakho bathe bakunyamekela ngandlela zonke ukuba bahambe phambi kwam njengawe lo.’
26 Ewe, nangoku, Thixo kaSirayeli, ilizwi owalithethayo uthembisa isicaka sakho uDavide ubawo malifezeke.
