14 “Bheka, ekuhluphekeni kwami ngilungisele indlu kaJehova amatalenta* ayizinkulungwane eziyikhulu egolide, namatalenta ayizinkulungwane eziyinkulungwane esiliva, nethusi nensimbi okungenakulinganiswa, ngokuba kuningi; ngilungisile nemithi namatshe; uyakwenezela kukho.
15 Kukhona kuwe izisebenzi eziningi, ababazi, nezisebenzi zamatshe nezemithi, nabo bonke abayizingcweti emisebenzini yonke:
16 eyegolide, neyesiliva, neyethusi, neyensimbi, kungenakubalwa; suka usebenze; uJehova makabe nawe.”
17 UDavide wayala zonke izikhulu zakwa-Israyeli ukusiza uSolomoni, wathi:
18 “UJehova uNkulunkulu wenu akanani na? Akaniphanga ukuphumula nxazonke na? Ngokuba unikele esandleni sami abakhileyo ezweni; izwe linyatheliwe phambi kukaJehova naphambi kwabantu bakhe.
19 Kalokhu nikelani inhliziyo yenu nomphefumulo wenu ekufuneni uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu; sukani nakhe indlu engcwele kaJehova uNkulunkulu ukuba kungeniswe umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova nezinto ezingcwele zikaNkulunkulu endlini eyakwakhelwa igama likaJehova.”
