1 Wagqitywa ke wonke umsebenzi awawenzela indlu kaYehova uSolomon. USolomon wazingenisa izinto abezingcwalisile uDavide uyise, nesilivere, negolide, nempahla yonke, wazibeka ebuncwaneni bendlu kaThixo.

Ukusiwa kwetyeya etempileni

2 Waza uSolomon wawabizela ndawonye amadoda amakhulu akwaSirayeli, neentloko zonke zezizwe, nezikhulu zezindlu zooyise zakoonyana bakaSirayeli, eYerusalem, ukuba bayinyuse ityeya yomnqophiso kaYehova emzini kaDavide; yiZiyon ke leyo.

3 Abizelwa ndawonye kukumkani onke amadoda akwaSirayeli emthendelekweni lowo wenyanga yesixhenxe.

4 Eza ke onke amadoda amakhulu akwaSirayeli. Bayithwala abaLevi ityeya, bayinyusa ityeya,

5 nentente yokuhlangana, neempahla zonke zengcwele, ezibe zisententeni, bazinyusa ababingeleli nabaLevi.

6 Ke ukumkani uSolomon, nebandla lonke lamaSirayeli, elibe lihlanganiselwe kuye phambi kwetyeya, babingelela impahla emfutshane neenkomo ezingenakubalwa, ezingenakulinganiswa ukuba zininzi kwazo.

7 Bayingenisa ababingeleli ityeya yomnqophiso kaYehova endaweni yayo, endaweni yezihlabo endlwini, engcweleni kangcwele, phantsi kwamaphiko eekerubhi;*

8 ngokuba iikerubhi zaye ziwolule amaphiko phezu kwendawo yetyeya; iikerubhi zayisithelisa ityeya nezibonda zayo ngaphezulu.

9 Zazizide izibonda, zibonakala iincam zezibonda, zivelile etyeyeni phambi kwendawo yezihlabo, àzabonakala ngaphandle; zisekhona unanamhla.

10 Kwakungekho nto etyeyeni, yayingaloo macwecwe mabini kuphela, wawabekayo kuyo uMoses eHorebhe, oko uYehova wanqophisana noonyana bakaSirayeli ekuphumeni kwabo eYiputa.

11 Kwathi ekuphumeni kwababingeleli engcweleni (ngokuba bonke ababingeleli abafumanekáyo babezingcwalisile; akaba nakugcinwa amaqela;

12 nabaLevi abaziimvumi, bonke bephela bona aba, ooAsafu, noHeman, noYedutun, noonyana babo, nabazalwana babo, bambethe ilinen ecikizekileyo, benamacangci nemirhubhe neehadi, bema ngasempumalanga esibingelelweni, benekhulu elinamanci mabini lababingeleli bevuthela ngamaxilongo);

13 kwathi ke abavutheli bamaxilongo neemvumi bavakalisa njengamntu mnye, ngazwi-nye, bedumisa, bebulela kuYehova. Bathi ke bakuphakamisa ilizwi ngamaxilongo, nangamacangci, nangeempahla zokuvuma, nangokumdumisa uYehova, besithi, Úlungile, inceba yakhe ingunaphakade: yesukaindlu yazala lilifu lendlu kaYehova;

14 ababingeleli ababa nakuma balungiselele, ngenxa yelifu; ngokuba ubuqaqawuli bukaYehova bayizalisa indlu kaThixo.
