8 Pa ndzidzi unoyu, Salomoni acemeresa+ akulu a Izraeli, atsogoleri onsene a madzindza na atsogoleri a mbumba za Aizraeli+ toera abwere kuna Mambo Salomoni ku Yerusalemu. Iye aapanga toera aende kakwate bokosi ya cibverano ca Yahova ku Nzinda wa Dhavidhi,+ wakuti ndi Sioni.+ 2 Amuna onsene a Izraeli agumanyikana pamaso pa Mambo Salomoni pa phwando* ya mwezi wa Etanimu,* wakuti ndi mwezi wacinomwe.+ 3 Akulu onsene a Izraeli abwera, anyantsembe mbathukula Bokosi.+ 4 Iwo abweresa Bokosi ya Yahova, nsasa wa nsonkhano+ na pyombo pyonsene pidaceneswa pyakuti pikhali mu nsasa. Adapibweresa ndi anyantsembe na Alevi. 5 Mambo Salomoni na Aizraeli onsene adacemerwa toera agumanyikane na iye, akhali patsogolo pa Bokosi. Penepo iwo apereka ntsembe+ zizinji za mabira na ng’ombe, zakuti iwo nee akwanisa kuzilengesa thangwi yakunjipa.

6 Buluka penepo, anyantsembe aikha bokosi ya cibverano ca Yahova pa mbuto payo,+ nkwartu yankati kakamwe ya templo, Mbuto Yakucena Kakamwe, pantsi pa maphapido a akerubhi.+

7 Maphapido a akerubhi akhali akufuthuka padzulu pa mbuto ikhali Bokosi, natenepa akerubhi akhaphimbira Bokosi na miti yakuthukula nayo.+ 8 Miti+ ineyi ikhali yakulapha kakamwe, natenepa ntsonga za miti ineyi zikhaoneka na pa Mbuto Yakucena, yakuti ikhali kutsogolo kwa kwartu yankati kakamwe, mbwenye izo nee zikhaoneka na kunja. Miti ineyi iri penepo mpaka lero. 9 M’Bokosi nee mukhali na cinthu cinango kusiyapo miyala miwiri+ yakusemwa idaikha Mose mwenemu+ ku Orebhi. Aiikha mwenemu pidacita Yahova cibverano+ na mbumba ya Izraeli mu ndzidzi ukhabuluka iwo mu dziko ya Ejitu.+

10 Anyantsembe pidabuluka iwo m’mbuto yakucena, khole+ yagudumira nyumba ya Yahova.+ 11 Anyantsembe nee akwanisa kupitiriza n’nyumba ineyi toera kuphata mabasa awo, thangwi mbiri ya Yahova ikhadadzala n’nyumba mwa Yahova.+ 12 Pa ndzidzi unoyu Salomoni alonga: “Yahova alonga kuti mbadakhala pa makole akupswipa kakamwe.+ 13 Ndakumangirani nyumba yakubalika kakamwe, mbuto yakulikha toera mukhale mwenemu kwenda na kwenda.”+

14 Buluka penepo, mambo azungunuka mbatoma kupasa nkhombo mbumba yonsene ya Izraeli yakuti mu ndzidzi unoyu ikhali dzololo.+ 15 Iye alonga: “Mbasimbwe Yahova, Mulungu wa Izraeli, ule adakwanirisa na djanja yace pikiro idacita iye kuna babanga Dhavidhi, mbalonga na mulomo wace kuti: 16 ‘Kutomera pa ntsiku idabulusa ine mbumba yanga ya Izraeli ku Ejitu, nee ndasankhula nzinda pakati pa mizinda ya madzindza a Izraeli toera ndimange nyumba kuti dzina yanga ipitirize kupaswa mbiri mwenemo,+ mbwenye ndasankhula Dhavidhi toera atonge mbumba yanga ya Izraeli.’ 17 Babanga Dhavidhi akhafuna kakamwe kumanga nyumba toera kupasa mbiri dzina ya Yahova, Mulungu wa Izraeli.+ 18 Mbwenye Yahova apanga babanga Dhavidhi kuti: ‘Iwe ukhafuna kakamwe kumanga nyumba toera dzina yanga ipaswe mbiri mwenemu, pyenepi mphyadidi kakamwe. 19 Mbwenye siwe tayu anafuna kumanga nyumba; mwanako anafuna iwe kubala* ndiye anafuna kumanga nyumba toera dzina yanga+ ipaswe mbiri mwenemu.’ 20 Yahova akwanirisa pikiro idacita iye, thangwi ndapita pa mbuto ya babanga Dhavidhi, mbandikhala pa mpando waumambo wa Izraeli ninga mudapikira Yahova. Pontho ine ndamanga nyumba toera dzina ya Yahova, Mulungu wa Izraeli+ ipaswe mbiri, 21 mbandisasanyamo mbuto toera kuikha Bokosi yakuti iri na cibverano+ cidacita Yahova na ambuyathu mu ndzidzi ukhaabulusa iye mu dziko ya Ejitu.”

22 Buluka penepo, Salomoni alimira patsogolo pa guwa ya Yahova pamaso pa mbumba yonsene ya Izraeli, iye athukula manja ace ndzulu,+ 23 mbalonga: “Yahova Mulungu wa Izraeli, nkhabepo Mulungu unango ninga imwe+ kudzulu peno pa dziko yapantsi, wakuti asakwanirisa cibverano, mbapangiza ufuni ukulu+ kuna ale anantumikira na ntima onsene.+ 24 Imwe mwacita pidapikira imwe kuna babanga Dhavidhi, wakuti akhali ntumiki wanu. Mwalonga pikiro ineyi na mulomo wanu, pontho lero mwapicita na djanja yanu.+ 25 Yahova Mulungu wa Izraeli, cincino kwanirisani pikiro idacita imwe kuna babanga Dhavidhi wakuti akhali ntumiki wanu, pidalonga imwe kuti: ‘M’banja mwako nee munadzasoweka mwana anafuna kukhala pa mpando waumambo wa Izraeli, anako angacita mphole-mphole na makhaliro awo, mbafamba munjira zanga ninga pidacita iwe.’+ 26 Ndaphata miyendo Mulungu wa Izraeli, cincino mbapicitike pidapikira imwe kuna ntumiki wanu babanga Dhavidhi.

27 “Kodi Mulungu anakhaladi pa dziko yapantsi?+ Onani! Kudzulu, inde, kudzulu kakamwe, imwe nkhabe kwanako;+ ndiye tani nyumba iyi idamanga ine!+ 28 Yahova Mulungu wanga, bveserani phembero inacita ntumiki wanu na phembo inacita iye toera kubverwa ntsisi, pontho bveserani kuphemba ciphedzo kunacita ntumiki wanu na phembero inacita iye lero pamaso panu. 29 Maso anu mbaonere nyumba ino masiku na masikati, mbuto idalonga imwe kuti: ‘Dzina yanga inadzapaswa mbiri mwenemo,’+ toera mubvesere phembero inacita ntumiki wanu mbakayang’ana mbuto ino.+ 30 Pontho bveserani phembo inacita ntumiki wanu toera kubverwa ntsisi na phembero inacita mbumba yanu Izraeli mbikayang’ana mbuto ino. Bveserani bulukira kudzulu+ pa mbuto inakhala imwe; inde, bveserani mbamulekerera.+

31 “Munthu angadawira ndzace, mbakakamizwa kuti adumbire.* Iye angabwera pa guwa yanu ya ntsembe n’nyumba ino,+ thangwi ya dumbiro idacita iye, 32 bveserani bulukira kudzulu, pontho citani pinthu mwakubverana na nseru unoyu mbamutonga atumiki anu: Pasani mulando ule adacita pinthu pyakuipa,* mbamuntcunyusa mwakubverana na pidacita iye. Nyakusowa mulando* muoneni ninga wakulungama, mbamumpasa nkhombo mwakubverana na ulungami wace.+

33 “Mbumba yanu Izraeli ingakundwa na anyamalwa awo, thangwi yakupitiriza kukudawirani,+ iwo angabwerera kuna imwe mbasimba dzina yanu,+ angacita phembero na kudembetera n’nyumba ino+ toera muabvere ntsisi, 34 bveserani bulukira kudzulu, pontho lekererani madawo a mbumba yanu Izraeli, mbamuibweza ku dziko idapasa imwe ambuyawo.+

35 “Kudzulu kungafungika, madzi mbakhonda kubvumba+ thangwi iwo apitiriza kukudawirani,+ iwo angacita phembero mbayang’ana mbuto ino, mbapasa mbiri dzina yanu, mbasiya madawo awo thangwi imwe mwaatcunyusa,+ 36 abvesereni bulukira kudzulu, pontho lekererani madawo a atumiki anu, a mbumba yanu Izraeli, apfundziseni+ njira yadidi inafunika iwo kufamba; pontho bvumbisani madzi mu dziko+ idapasa imwe mbumba yanu ninga unthaka wawo.

37 “Mu dziko+ ineyi mungaoneka njala, muliri, mphepo yakupisa,+ kuuma kwa pinthu pinabzwalwa peno anyadzombe azinji;* anyamalwa awo angaazungulira m’mizinda yawo peno angagwerwa na ntundu unango wa muliri peno utenda,+ 38 ntundu onsene wa phembero, ntundu onsene wa phembo+ toera kubverwa ntsisi inafuna kucitwa na munthu m’bodzi peno na mbumba yanu yonsene ya Izraeli (thangwi m’bodzi na m’bodzi asadziwa nyatwa ziri muntima mwace)+ angathukula manja awo mbakayang’ana nyumba ino, 39 penepo bveserani bulukira kudzulu, pa mbuto inakhala imwe,+ lekererani+ mbamucita pinthu mwakubverana na nseru wa munthu; pontho pasani nkhombo m’bodzi na m’bodzi mwakubverana na pyonsene pinacita iye,+ thangwi imwe musadziwa ntima wace (mwandimomwene ndimwe basi anadziwa mitima ya anthu onsene),+ 40 toera akugopeni ntsiku zonsene zinafuna kukhala iwo mu dziko idapasa imwe ambuyathu.

54 Salomoni pidamala iye kucita phembero ineyi yonsene kuna Yahova mbaphemba toera kubverwa ntsisi, iye alamuka patsogolo pa guwa ya Yahova, pale pakhadagodama iye mbathukula manja ace ndzulu.+ 55 Iye alimira, apasa nkhombo Aizraeli onsene, mbalonga mwakugaluza: 56 “Mbasimbwe Yahova, ule adapasa mbumba yace Izraeli mbuto yakupuma ninga mukhadapikira iye.+ Nkhabepo fala idakhonda kukwanirisika+ mu mapikiro onsene adidi adacita iye kubulukira kuna ntumiki wace Mose. 57 Yahova Mulungu wathu mbakhale na ife ninga mudakhala iye na ambuyathu.+ Mbaleke kutisiya peno kutithawa.+ 58 Mbacitise mitima yathu ibwerere kuna iye+ toera tifambe munjira zace zonsene, mbatitoweza mitemo yace, miyambo yace na matongero ace, adapereka iye kuna ambuyathu toera aabvere. 59 Mafala awa adadembetera na ine Yahova toera kubverwa ntsisi, mbakhale dhuzi na Yahova Mulungu wathu masiku na masikati, toera acite pinthu kuti aphedze ntumiki wace na mbumba yace Izraeli mwakubverana na pinafuna iwo ntsiku na ntsiku, 60 toera anthu onsene pa dziko yapantsi adziwe kuti Yahova ndi Mulungu wandimomwene.+ Nkhabepo Mulungu unango!+ 61 Natenepa mitima yanu mbikhale yakulungama*+ kuna Yahova Mulungu wathu mbamufamba mwakubverana na miyambo yace, pontho mbamubvera matongero ace ninga pinacita imwe lero.”

62 Mambo na Aizraeli onsene apereka ntsembe zizinji kuna Yahova.+ 63 Salomoni apereka ntsembe zakupereka takhuta+ kuna Yahova: Iye apereka ng’ombe 22.000 na mabira 120.000.
