Amambo Wakutoma

10 Mambo wankazi wa ku Sabha abva mphangwa za kubvekera kwa Salomoni, pontho kuti kubvekera kweneku ndi thangwi ya dzina ya Yahova.+ Natenepa iye abwera toera kumuyesera na mibvundzo yakunentsa.*+ 2 Iye afika ku Yerusalemu na nsoka ukulu kakamwe wa anyabasa ace,+ akhali na makamelo adathukula mafuta a bhalsamu,+ ouro izinji kakamwe na miyala ya ntengo ukulu. Iye aenda kuna Salomoni mbambvundza pinthu pyonsene pikhafuna iye kudziwa. 3 Penepo Salomoni antawira mibvundzo yace yonsene. Nkhabepo mbvundzo wakuti ukhali wakunentsa kakamwe* kuna mambo, mbacimwana kuutawira.

4 Mambo wankazi wa ku Sabha pidaona iye udziwisi wa Salomoni,+ nyumba idamanga iye,+ 5 cakudya cikhali pameza pace,+ njira ikakhala atumiki ace pameza, basa ikhacita anyakupereka cakudya pameza na nguwo zikhadabvala iwo, anyakupereka pyakumwa na ntsembe zakupiswa zikhapereka iye ndzidzi onsene panyumba ya Yahova, iye adzumatirwa kakamwe na pyenepi.* 6 Natenepa iye apanga mambo: “Mphangwa zidabva ine pikhali ine ku dziko yanga thangwi ya pinthu pinacita imwe,* na udziwisi wanu ndi zandimomwene. 7 Mbwenye ine nee ndakhulupira mphangwa zidapangwa ine mpaka pidabwera ine mbandipiona na maso anga. Mwandimomwene pidapangwa ine thangwi ya imwe ndi pang’ono basi! Udziwisi wanu na kuthambaruka kwanu kwapiringana pinthu pyonsene pidabva ine thangwi ya imwe. 8 Anyakutsandzaya ndi anthu anu, pontho anyakutsandzaya ndi atumiki anu anakhala na imwe ntsiku zonsene, mbakabvesera udziwisi wanu!+ 9 Mbasimbwe Yahova Mulungu wanu,+ ule adakuikhani pa mpando waumambo wa Izraeli thangwi yakukomerwa na imwe. Thangwi ya ufuni wace wakukhonda mala kuna Izraeli, Yahova akukhazikisani ninga mambo toera mutonge mwadidi na mwaulungami.”

10 Buluka penepo, iye apasa mambo matalento* 120 a ouro, mafuta mazinji kakamwe a bhalsamu+ na miyala ya ntengo ukulu.+ Cipo abwereswa pontho mafuta mazinji kakamwe a bhalsamu ninga adapereka mambo wankazi wa ku Sabha kuna Mambo Salomoni.

11 Mabote a Iramu akhathukula ouro buluka ku Ofire,+ abweresambo matabwa mazinji kakamwe a nsantha+ na miyala ya ntengo ukulu.+ 12 Mambo akwata matabwa a nsantha toera kucita pyakutsidzikiza pya nyumba ya Yahova na pya nyumba ya mambo, acitambo nawo maarpa na pyakuimba napyo pya nkhambala toera piphatisirwe na anyakuimba.+ Mpaka lero, cipo kwaoneka pontho peno kubwereswa pontho matabwa a nsantha ninga na anewa.

13 Mambo Salomoni apasa mambo wankazi wa ku Sabha pinthu pyonsene pikhafuna iye na pidaphemba iye, kusiyapo pyenepi ampasambo pinthu pinango mwakubverana na kupasa kwace mwakudzala manja.* Buluka penepo, iye abwerera ku dziko yace pabodzi na atumiki ace.+

14 Ouro idabwereserwa Salomoni pa caka cibodzi ikhalemera matalento 666 a ouro,+ 15 kusiyapo ouro ikhabwereswa na anyamalonda a Salomoni na anyamalonda akufamba-famba, pinthu pikhawina anyamalonda na pinthu pikhabwereswa na amambo onsene a ku Arabhya na atsogoleri a dziko ineyi.

16 Mambo Salomoni asasanyisa maxango makulu 200 a ouro+ yakubvungazwa na ntundu unango wa utale (xango ibodzi na ibodzi yacitwa na masiklo* 600 a ouro)+ 17 pontho asasanyisa maxango mang’ono 300 a ouro yakubvungazwa na ntundu unango wa utale (xango ing’ono ibodzi na ibodzi ikhadacitwa na mina* zitatu za ouro). Buluka penepo, mambo apikwata mbapiikha n’Nyumba ikhacemerwa Nsitu wa Libhano.+

18 Mambo asasanya mpando ukulu waumambo,+ aucita na nyanga za ndzou mbaukhwaza ouro yadidi kakamwe.+ 19 Pakhali masikada matanthatu toera kufika pa mpando waumambo, pontho padzulu pa mpando waumambo pakhali na ntsoi ing’ono yakubulungika; mpando unoyu waumambo ukhali na pyakutsamisira mikono m’makhundu mawiri ene, pontho n’khundu mwa pyakutsamisira mikono mukhali na pinthu piwiri pyakulandana na nkhalamu.+ 20 M’masikada matanthatu mukhali na pinthu 12 pyakulandana na nkhalamu, cibodzi na cibodzi cikhadalimiriswa kunkhomo kwa sikada ibodzi na ibodzi. Nkhabepo umambo unango ukhali na mpando waumambo ninga unoyu.

21 Makhomitco onsene a Mambo Salomoni akhali a ouro, pontho pyombo pyonsene pya Nyumba ikhacemerwa Nsitu wa Libhano+ pikhali pya ouro yadidi kakamwe. Nee pakhali na cinthu ca parata, thangwi mu ntsiku za Salomoni+ parata ikhaoniwa ninga yakusowa basa. 22 Mambo akhali na mabote a ku Tarsi+ akuti akhafamba m’bara pabodzi na mabote a Iramu. Pontho kabodzi mu pyaka pitatu, mabote a ku Tarsi akhabweresa ouro, parata, nyanga za ndzou,+ mabongwe na mbalame zinacemerwa pavau.

23 Natenepa, Mambo Salomoni akhali wakupfuma maningi+ na waudziwisi kakamwe kupiringana amambo anango onsene pa dziko yapantsi.+ 24 Anthu pa dziko yonsene yapantsi akhafuna kuonana na* Salomoni toera kubva udziwisi udaikha Mulungu muntima mwace.+ 25 Pyaka pyonsene iwo akham’bweresera miyoni ya pinthu pya parata, pya ouro, nguwo, pida pya nkhondo, mafuta a bhalsamu, makavalo na maburu.

26 Salomoni apitiriza kugumanya ngolo za nkhondo na makavalo;* iye akhali na ngolo za nkhondo 1.400 na makavalo* 12.000,+ iye apiikha m’mizinda ya ngolo za nkhondo na ku Yerusalemu+ cifupi na mambo.

27 Mambo acitisa kuti parata ikhale yakunjipa kakamwe ninga miyala mu Yerusalemu; pontho acitisa kuti matabwa a sedhro anjipe kakamwe ninga miti ya misambvu* ya ku Sefela.+

28 Makavalo a Salomoni akhagulwa ku Ejitu, pontho anyamalonda a mambo akhagula mikumbi* ya makavalo na ntengo udakhazikiswa.+ 29 Ngolo ibodzi na ibodzi ya ku Ejitu ikhagulwa na masiklo 600 a parata, pontho kavalo ibodzi ikhagulwa na masiklo 150; buluka penepo, iwo akhaendambo kaagulisa kuna amambo onsene a dzindza ya Eti+ na amambo a ku Sirya.
