8 ¹Ndipo Solomo anasonkhanitsa akulu a Israeli—atsogoleri onse a mafuko, akuluakulu a mabanja a makolo a ana a Israeli—pamaso pa Mfumu Solomo mu Yerusalemu, kuti akatenge likasa la pangano la Atate wathu kuchokera mu mzinda wa Davide, womwe ndi Ziyoni. ²Choncho amuna onse a Israeli anasonkhana kwa Mfumu Solomo pa chikondwerero m'mwezi wa Etanimu, mwezi wachisanu ndi chiwiri. ³Pamene akulu onse a Israeli anafika, ansembe ananyamula likasa, ⁴anatenga likasa la Atate wathu, chihema cha msonkhano, ndi ziwiya zonse zoyera zomwe zinali mu chihemacho; ansembe ndi Alevi anazitenga. ⁵Mfumu Solomo ndi msonkhano wonse wa Israeli umene unasonkhana naye anaima pamaso pa likasa, akupereka nsembe nkhosa ndi ng'ombe zochuluka kwambiri zosatheka kuwerengera kapena kulemba. ⁶Ndipo ansembe anabweretsa likasa la pangano la Atate wathu ku malo ake, m'chipinda chamkati, Malo Opatulika Koposa, pansi pa mapiko a akerubi. ⁷Akerubi anatambalitsa mapiko awo pamwamba pa malo a likasa, naphimba likasa ndi mitengo yake yonyamulira kuchokera pamwamba. ⁸Mitengo yonyamulira inali yaitali kotero kuti michiro yake inaonekera kuchokera ku Malo Opatulika patsogolo pa chipinda chamkati, koma osati kuchokera kunja; ndipo ikhalabe komweko mpaka lero. ⁹Mu likasa munali miyala iwiri yokhayokha ya malamulo imene Mose anaika kumeneko ku Horebu, kumene Atate wathu anachita pangano ndi ana a Israeli pamene anatuluka m'dziko la Igupto. ¹⁰Pamene ansembe anatuluka mu Malo Opatulika, mtambo unadzaza nyumba ya Atate wathu, ¹¹kotero ansembe sanathe kuimirira kuti atumikire chifukwa cha mtambo, pakuti ulemerero wa Atate wathu unadzaza nyumba yake.

¹²Ndipo Solomo anati: “Atate wathu anena kuti adzakhala mu mdima wandiweyani. ¹³Ndakumangirani ndithu nyumba yokwezeka, malo woti muzikhalamo mpaka muyaya.”

¹⁴Mfumu inatembenuka nadalitsa msonkhano wonse wa Israeli, pamene msonkhano wonse wa Israeli unaimirira. ¹⁵Iye anati: “Atamandike Atate wathu, Mulungu wa Israeli, amene ndi pakamwa pake anayankhula kwa atate wanga Davide nakwaniritsa ndi dzanja lake, nati, ¹⁶Chiyambire pamene ndinatulutsa anthu anga Israeli ku Igupto, sindinasankhe mzinda uliwonse pa mafuko onse a Israeli kuti pamangidwe nyumba ya dzina langa; koma ndinasankha Davide kulamulira anthu anga Israeli.

¹⁷Zinali mu mtima mwa atate wanga Davide kumanga nyumba ya dzina la Atate wathu, Mulungu wa Israeli.

¹⁸Koma Atate wathu anati kwa atate wanga Davide, ‘Popeza kumanga nyumba ya dzina langa kunali mu mtima mwako, unachita bwino kukhala nako mu mtima mwako. ¹⁹Koma iwe sudzamanga nyumbayo; mwana wako, amene adzachokera m'thupi mwako, ndiye adzamanga nyumba ya dzina langa.’

²⁰Ndipo Atate wathu asunga mau amene ananena, pakuti ndadzuka m'malo mwa atate wanga Davide ndipo ndikhala pa mpando waufumu wa Israeli, monga analonjeza, ndipo ndamanga nyumba ya dzina la Atate wathu, Mulungu wa Israeli. ²¹Kumeneko ndakonza malo a likasa limene lili ndi pangano la Atate wathu, limene anachita ndi makolo athu pamene anawatulutsa ku Igupto.”

Pemphero la Solomo Pamaso pa Atate

²²Solomo anaimirira pamaso pa guwa la nsembe la Atate wathu, patsogolo pa msonkhano wonse wa Israeli, natambalitsa manja ake kuloza kumwamba. ²³Iye anati: “Atate wathu, Mulungu wa Israeli, palibe Mulungu wofanana ndi Inu kumwamba kumtunda kapena pa dziko lapansi, amene mumasunga pangano ndi chikondi chokhulupirika kwa atumiki anu amene amayenda pamaso panu ndi mtima wawo wonse. ²⁴Munasunga lonjezo lanu kwa mtumiki wanu, atate wanga Davide; chimene pakamwa panu chinanena, dzanja lanu lakwaniritsa lero.

²⁵Choncho tsopano, Atate wathu, Mulungu wa Israeli, sungirani mtumiki wanu Davide atate wanga chimene munamulonjeza, ponena kuti, ‘Sudzasowa munthu woti akhale pamaso panga pa mpando waufumu wa Israeli, ngati ana ako asamalira njira yawo, kuyenda pamaso panga monga iwe wayenda pamaso panga.’ ²⁶Ndipo tsopano, Atate wathu, Mulungu wa Israeli, tsimikizani mau anu amene munayankhula kwa mtumiki wanu, atate wanga Davide.

²⁷Koma kodi Atate wathu adzakhaladi pa dziko lapansi? Taonani—kumwamba ndi kumwamba kwa kumwamba sikungakukwaneni; nanga nyumba iyi imene ndamanga ingakukwaneni bwanji! ²⁸Komabe tcherani khutu ku pemphero ndi pembedzero la mtumiki wanu, Atate wanga, kuti mumve kulira ndi pemphero limene mtumiki wanu akupemphera pamaso panu lero.

²⁹Maso anu akhale otseguka kuloza nyumba iyi usiku ndi usana, malo amene munati, ‘Dzina langa lidzakhala kumeneko,’ kuti mumve pemphero la mtumiki wanu loloza malo ano. ³⁰Imvani pembedzero la mtumiki wanu ndi la anthu anu Israeli pamene apemphera kuloza malo ano; imvani kuchokera kumwamba, kokhala kwanu, ndipo pamene mumva, khululukani.

³¹Ngati munthu achimwira mnansi wake nayenera kulumbira, nabwera kudzalumbira pamaso pa guwa la nsembe lanu mu nyumba iyi, ³²pamenepo imvani kuchokera kumwamba ndipo chitani. Weruzani atumiki anu: tsutsani wochimwa, pobweza ntchito zake pamutu pake, ndipo masulani wolungama, pomupatsa malipiro molingana ndi chilungamo chake.

³³Pamene anthu anu Israeli agonjetsedwa ndi mdani chifukwa anakuchimwirani, kenaka nabwerera kwa Inu, navomereza dzina lanu, napemphera napembedzera kwa Inu mu nyumba iyi, ³⁴pamenepo imvani kuchokera kumwamba, khululukani tchimo la anthu anu Israeli, ndipo abwezereni ku dziko limene munapatsa makolo awo.

³⁵Pamene thambo latsekeka ndipo mvula sikugwa chifukwa anakuchimwirani, ndipo apemphera kuloza malo ano, navomereza dzina lanu, nasiya tchimo lawo chifukwa munawazunza, ³⁶pamenepo imvani kuchokera kumwamba ndipo khululukani tchimo la atumiki anu, anthu anu Israeli, pamene muwaphunzitsa njira yabwino imene ayenera kuyendamo; ndipo gwetsani mvula pa dziko lanu, limene munapatsa anthu anu kukhala cholowa.

³⁷Ngati njala, mliri, chinyontho, nkhungu, dzombe, kapena ziwala zigwera dziko; ngati mdani awazinga pa zipata zawo—mliri uliwonse kapena matenda aliwonse akabwera, ³⁸pemphero lililonse kapena pembedzero lililonse limene aliyense pakati pa anthu anu onse Israeli achita, aliyense akudziwa masautso a mtima wake, natambalitsa manja ake kuloza nyumba iyi, ³⁹pamenepo imvani kuchokera kumwamba, kokhala kwanu, ndipo khululukani, ndipo chitani, ndipo mupatseni aliyense molingana ndi njira zake zonse, popeza mukudziwa mtima wake—Inu nokha mumadziwa mtima wa munthu aliyense, ⁴⁰kuti akuopeni masiku onse amene akhala pa dziko limene munapatsa makolo athu.

⁴¹Komanso mlendo, amene si wa anthu anu Israeli koma wochokera ku dziko lakutali chifukwa cha dzina lanu, ⁴²pakuti adzamva za dzina lanu lalikulu, dzanja lanu lamphamvu ndi mkono wanu wotambasuka—pamene adzabwera napemphera kuloza nyumba iyi, ⁴³imvani kuchokera kumwamba, kokhala kwanu, ndipo chitani zonse zimene mlendoyo akupempha, kuti anthu onse a dziko lapansi adziwe dzina lanu nakuopeni, monga anthu anu Israeli achitira, ndipo adziwe kuti nyumba iyi imene ndamanga ili ndi dzina lanu.

⁴⁴Pamene anthu anu adzatuluka kukamenyana ndi mdani wawo, mu njira iliyonse imene mudzawatuma, ndipo apemphera kwa Atate wathu kuloza mzinda umene munausankha ndi nyumba imene ndamanga ya dzina lanu, ⁴⁵pamenepo imvani kuchokera kumwamba pemphero lawo ndi pembedzero lawo, ndipo muwachitire chilungamo.

⁴⁶Pamene akuchimwirani—pakuti palibe munthu wopanda tchimo—ndipo mukwiya nawapereka kwa mdani amene adzawagwira kuwatenga ku dziko la mdani, kutali kapena pafupi,

⁴⁷komabe ngati adzaganizira mu mtima mwawo m'dziko limene adzagwidwako, nabwerera nakupemphani m'dziko la owagwira, ponena kuti, ‘Tachimwa, tachita zolakwa, tachita zoipa,’ ⁴⁸ndipo ngati m'dziko la owagwira adzabwerera kwa Inu ndi mtima wawo wonse ndi moyo wawo wonse, napemphera kwa Inu kuloza dziko lawo limene munapatsa makolo awo, mzinda umene munausankha, ndi nyumba imene ndamanga ya dzina lanu, ⁴⁹pamenepo imvani kuchokera kumwamba, kokhala kwanu, pemphero lawo ndi pembedzero lawo, ndipo muwachitire chilungamo. ⁵⁰Khululukirani anthu anu amene anakuchimwirani, zolakwa zawo zonse zimene anakuchitirani, ndipo muwapatse chifundo pamaso pa owagwira, kuti owagwira awachitire chifundo, ⁵¹pakuti ndi anthu anu ndi cholowa chanu, amene munawatulutsa ku Igupto, mu ng'anjo yachitsulo. ⁵²Maso anu akhale otseguka ku pembedzero la mtumiki wanu ndi pembedzero la anthu anu Israeli, ndipo muwamvere nthawi iliyonse imene adzakuitanani. ⁵³Pakuti munawasiyanitsa ndi anthu onse a dziko lapansi kukhala cholowa chanu, monga munanena kudzera mwa Mose mtumiki wanu pamene munatulutsa makolo athu ku Igupto, Inu Atate Wolamulira.”

Solomo Adalitsa Msonkhano

⁵⁴Pamene Solomo anamaliza pemphero ndi pembedzero lonse ili kwa Atate wathu, anauka pamaso pa guwa la nsembe la Atate wathu, kumene anali atagwada ndi manja ake otambalala kuloza kumwamba. ⁵⁵Iye anaimirira nadalitsa msonkhano wonse wa Israeli ndi mau okweza, nati:

⁵⁶“Adalitsike Atate wathu, amene wapatsa mpumulo kwa anthu ake Israeli, monga analonjeza. Palibe mau ngakhale amodzi amene sanakwaniritsidwe pa zabwino zonse zimene analonjeza kudzera mwa mtumiki wake Mose. ⁵⁷Atate wathu akhale nafe monga anali ndi makolo athu; asatisiye kapena kutitaya, ⁵⁸potembenuzira mitima yathu kwa Iye, kuti tiyende m'njira zake zonse nasunga malamulo ake, malangizo ake, ndi ziweruzo zake, zimene analamula makolo athu. ⁵⁹Ndipo mau anga awa, amene ndapembedzera pamaso pa Atate wathu, akhale pafupi ndi Iye usana ndi usiku, kuti achitire chilungamo mtumiki wake ndi anthu ake Israeli, monga tsiku lililonse lifunira, ⁶⁰kuti anthu onse a dziko lapansi adziwe kuti Atate wathu ndiye Mulungu, ndipo palibe wina.

⁶¹Choncho mtima wanu ukhale wodzipereka kwathunthu kwa Atate wathu, kuti muyende m'malangizo ake nasunga malamulo ake, monga lero.”

Nyumba Yoperekedwa kwa Atate

⁶²Ndipo mfumu ndi Israeli yense pamodzi nayo anapereka nsembe pamaso pa Atate wathu. ⁶³Solomo anapereka kwa Atate wathu nsembe zachiyanjano za ng'ombe 22,000 ndi nkhosa 120,000. Choncho mfumu ndi ana onse a Israeli anapatulira nyumba ya Atate wathu. ⁶⁴Tsiku lomwelo mfumu inapatula pakati pa bwalo patsogolo pa nyumba ya Atate wathu, pakuti kumeneko anapereka nsembe yopsereza, nsembe ya chakudya, ndi mafuta a nsembe zachiyanjano, chifukwa guwa la nsembe lamkuwa limene linali pamaso pa Atate wathu linali laling'ono kwambiri kuti lingakwanitse nsembe yopsereza, nsembe ya chakudya, ndi mafuta a nsembe zachiyanjano.

⁶⁵Ndipo Solomo anachita chikondwerero, Israeli yense pamodzi naye—msonkhano waukulu kuchokera ku Lebo-hamati mpaka ku Mtsinje wa Igupto—pamaso pa Atate wathu masiku asanu ndi awiri, kenaka asanu ndi awiri ena: masiku khumi ndi anayi onse pamodzi. ^a a v65 Lebo-hamati kumpoto kutali ndi Mtsinje wa Igupto kum'mwera kutali zinaimira kutalika konse kwa dziko, kotero anthu anadza kuchokera ku ngodya iliyonse ya Israeli. ⁶⁶Pa tsiku lachisanu ndi chitatu anatumiza anthu kunyumba.
