1 Solomoni mwana wa Davide wakalutilira kuŵa wankhongono mu uthemba wake. Yehova Chiuta wake wakaŵa nayo ndipo wakamukuzga chomene.+
2 Solomoni wakachema Israyeli yose, ŵalongozgi ŵa vikwi na ŵa mahandiredi, ŵeruzgi, na ŵalongozgi wose ŵa Israyeli yose, ŵalongozgi ŵa nyumba za ŵawiskewo. 3 Penepapo Solomoni na mpingo wose ŵakaluta ku malo ghapachanya ku Gibiyoni,+ pakuti ndiko kukaŵa chihema chakukumanamo cha Chiuta waunenesko, icho Mozesi muteŵeti wa Yehova wakapanga mu mapopa. 4 Kweni Davide wakatora Likasa la Chiuta waunenesko ku Kiriyati-yerimu+ na kuliŵika ku malo agho wakalinozgera. Wakalijinthira hema mu Yerusalemu.+ 5 Jotchero lamkuŵa+ ilo Bezaleli+ mwana wa Uri mwana wa Huru wakazenga likaŵikika panthazi pa chihema cha Yehova. Solomoni na mpingo wose ŵakalombanga panthazi pa ilo.* 6 Sono Solomoni wakapeleka sembe kwa Yehova pa jotchero lamkuŵa+ la pa chihema chakukumanamo, ndipo wakapelekapo sembe zakotcha 1,000.
7 Mu usiku wenewura, Chiuta wakawoneka kwa Solomoni, wakati: “Pempha icho ukukhumba kuti nikupe.”+ 8 Solomoni wakati kwa Chiuta: “Mwalongora lusungu* lukuru kwa muteŵeti winu Davide+ adada, ndipo mwaniŵika themba mu malo ghake.+ 9 Sono, A Yehova Chiuta, layizgo linu kwa Davide adada liŵe lakugomezgeka,+ pakuti mwanimika kuŵa themba pa ŵanthu ŵanandi aŵa, awo mbanandi nga ni fuvu lapasi.+ 10 Nipani vinjeru na kumanya+ kuti nilongozge ŵanthu aŵa,* pakuti ni njani wangafiska kweruzga ŵanthu ŵinu ŵanandi nthena?”+
11 Chiuta wakati kwa Solomoni: “Pakuti ichi ndicho mtima wako wakhumba, undapemphe chuma, usambazi, ntchindi panji nyifwa* ya awo ŵakukutinkha, nesi kupempha umoyo utali,* kweni wapempha vinjeru na kumanya kuti weruzge ŵanthu ŵane awo nakwimika kuŵa themba+ pachanya pawo, 12 nikupenge vinjeru na kumanya pera chara. Nikupengeso chuma, usambazi, na ntchindi ivyo palije themba linyake likaŵa navyo kumanyuma panji lizamuŵa navyo kunthazi kwako.”+
13 Ntheura Solomoni wakafuma ku malo ghapachanya ku Gibiyoni,+ panthazi pa chihema chakukumanamo, wakiza ku Yerusalemu. Wakawusa Israyeli. 14 Solomoni wakawunjika magileta na mahachi.* Wakaŵa na magileta 1,400 na mahachi* 12,000.+ Wakaghaŵika mu misumba ya magileta+ kweniso pafupi na themba ku Yerusalemu.+ 15 Themba likawunjika siliva na golide mu Yerusalemu, unandi wake nga ni malibwe,+ ndipo makuni gha sidara ghakaŵa ghanandi chomene nga ni makuni gha mkuyu mu Shefela.+ 16 Mahachi gha Solomoni ghakachita kugulika ku Eguputo,+ ndipo ŵamalonda ŵa themba ŵakaguranga mahachi mu magulumagulu* pa mtengo umoza.+ 17 Gileta limoza lakufuma ku Eguputo likagulikanga masiliva 600, ndipo hachi limoza likagulikanga masiliva 150. Ndipo ŵakaviguliskanga ku mathemba ghose gha Ŵahiti na mathemba gha Siriya.
