Kapitulu 8.

Na tenepo Salomau agumanya akulu a Izarayeli—atsogoleri onsene a madzinza, atsogoleri a nyumba za ambuya a ana a Izarayeli—pamaso pa Mambo Salomau mu Yerusalemu, toera kubweresa bokosi ya cibverano ya Baba wathu kubuluka ku nzinda wa Dhavidhi, ndiwo Siyoni. Na tenepo amuna onsene a Izarayeli agumanyikana kuna Mambo Salomau pa phwando, mu mwezi wa Etanimi, wacinomwe. Pidafika akulu onsene a Izarayeli, anyantsembe akwata bokosi, iwo abweresa bokosi ya Baba wathu, tendi ya nsonkhano, na mbiya zonsene zakucena zikhali mu tendi; anyantsembe na Alevi ndiwo adazibweresa. Mambo Salomau na gungano yonsene ya Izarayeli idagumanyikana na iye aima pamaso pa bokosi, mbapereka nsembe za mabira na ng'ombe zizinji kakamwe zakukhonda kwanisika kulengwa peno kulembwa. Na tenepo anyantsembe abweresa bokosi ya cibverano ya Baba wathu ku mbuto yace, mu khundu yamkati yakucena, Mbuto Yakucena Kakamwe, pantsi pa maphapidi a akerubi. Akerubi afunyula maphapidi awo padzulu pa mbuto ya bokosi, mbaphimbira bokosi na miti yace kubulukira padzulu. Miti ikhali mitali kakamwe, mwakuti nsonga zayo zikhaoneka kubulukira mu Mbuto Yakucena pamaso pa khundu yamkati, mbwenye nee zikhaoneka kunja; pontho zisapitiriza kukhala penepo mpaka lero. Mu bokosi mukhali basi mapfunde mawiri a mwala adaaikha Mose penepo pa Horebe, kudacita Baba wathu cibverano na ana a Izarayeli pidabuluka iwo mu dziko ya Ejitu. Pidabuluka anyantsembe mu Mbuto Yakucena, khole yadzala mu nyumba ya Baba wathu, natenepo anyantsembe nee akwanisa kuima toera kutumikira thangwi ya khole, thangwi mbiri ya Baba wathu yadzala mu nyumba yace.

Na tenepo Salomau alonga: “Baba wathu alonga kuti Iye anadzakhala mu cidima cikulu. Ndakumangirani mwandimomwene nyumba yakulemedzeka, mbuto toera mukhale mwenemo kwenda na kwenda.”

Mambo azungunuka mbasimba gungano yonsene ya Izarayeli, mu n'dzidzi ukhaima gungano yonsene ya Izarayeli. Iye alonga: “Mbasimbwe Baba wathu, Mulungu wa Izarayeli, adalonga na mulomo wace kuna baba wanga Dhavidhi mbakwanirisa na manja ace, mbalonga kuti, Kubulukira pidabulusa Ine mbumba yanga Izarayeli ku Ejitu, nee ndasankhula nzinda ubodzi mu madzinza onsene a Izarayeli toera kumanga nyumba ya dzina yanga; mbwenye ndasankhula Dhavidhi toera kutsogolera mbumba yanga Izarayeli.

Pikhali muntima mwa baba wanga Dhavidhi kumanga nyumba ya dzina ya Baba wathu, Mulungu wa Izarayeli.

Mbwenye Baba wathu apanga baba wanga Dhavidhi: ‘Nakuti kumanga nyumba ya dzina yanga pikhali muntima mwako, wacita pyadidi kukhala na pyenepi muntima mwako. Mbwenye iwe nee unadzamanga nyumba; mwana wako, anabuluka mu manungo mwako ene, ndiye anadzamanga nyumba ya dzina yanga.’

Na tenepo Baba wathu akwanirisa fala idalonga Iye, thangwi ndalimira m'mbuto mwa baba wanga Dhavidhi mbandikhala pa mpando waumambo wa Izarayeli, ninga mudapikira Iye, pontho ndamanga nyumba ya dzina ya Baba wathu, Mulungu wa Izarayeli. Penepo ndasasanyira mbuto ya bokosi inaphatira cibverano ca Baba wathu, cidacita Iye na ambuya athu pidaabulusa Iye ku Ejitu.”

Phembero ya Salomau Pamaso pa Baba

Salomau aima patsogolo pa guwa ya nsembe ya Baba wathu, pamaso pa gungano yonsene ya Izarayeli, mbafunyula manja ace kuelekera kudzulu. Iye alonga: “Baba wathu, Mulungu wa Izarayeli, nkhabe Mulungu ninga Imwe kudzulu padzulu peno pantsi pa dziko, munakoya cibverano na kufuna kwakukhulupirika na atumiki anu anafamba pamaso panu na ntima wawo onsene. Imwe makwanirisa cidapikira Imwe kuna ntumiki wanu, baba wanga Dhavidhi; cidalonga mulomo wanu, cakwaniriswa na manja anu lero.

Na tenepo cincino, Baba wathu, Mulungu wa Izarayeli, koyani kuna ntumiki wanu Dhavidhi baba wanga pidampikira Imwe, mukalonga: ‘Iwe nee unadzasowa mamuna toera kukhala pamaso panga pa mpando waumambo wa Izarayeli, basi ene ana ako angasamalira njira yawo, toera kufamba pamaso panga ninga mudafamba iwe pamaso panga.’ Na cincino, Baba wathu, Mulungu wa Izarayeli, khwimisani fala idalonga Imwe kuna ntumiki wanu, baba wanga Dhavidhi.

Mbwenye kodi Baba wathu anakhaladi pa dziko? Onani, kudzulu na kudzulu kwakutali kakamwe nkhabe kukwanisa kukukoyani Imwe; nanga pang'ono nyumba iyi idamanga ine! Mbwenye bveserani phembero na kucemerera kwa ntumiki wanu, Baba wanga, toera kubva kulira na phembero inacita ntumiki wanu pamaso panu lero.

Maso anu mbakhale akufunguka kuna nyumba iyi masiku na masikati, pa mbuto idalonga Imwe: ‘Dzina yanga inadzakhala penepo,’ toera kubva phembero inacita ntumiki wanu kuelekera ku mbuto iyi. Bverani kucemerera kwa ntumiki wanu na kwa mbumba yanu Izarayeli angaphembera kuelekera ku mbuto iyi; bverani kubulukira kudzulu, pakukhala panu, mungabva, lekererani.

Munthu angadawira ndzace mbafunika kudumbira, mbabwera toera kudumbira patsogolo pa guwa yanu ya nsembe mu nyumba iyi, bverani kubulukira kudzulu mbamucita. Tongani atumiki anu: psipani nyakudawa, mbabwezera macitiro ace pamusolo pace, pontho pembesani nyakulungama, mbampasa malipiro mwakubverana na kulungama kwace.

Mbumba yanu Izarayeli ingakundwa na nyamalwa thangwi yakukudawirani, buluka penepo iwo angabwerera kuna Imwe, mbabvuma dzina yanu, mbaphembera na kukucemererani mu nyumba iyi, bverani kubulukira kudzulu, lekererani madawo a mbumba yanu Izarayeli, mbamubwezera ku dziko idapasa Imwe ambuya awo.

Kudzulu kungafungwa mbakukhonda kubvumba mvula thangwi yakukudawirani, iwo angaphembera kuelekera ku mbuto iyi, mbabvuma dzina yanu, mbasiya madawo awo thangwi yakuti mwaatambudzisa, bverani kubulukira kudzulu mbalekerera madawo a atumiki anu, mbumba yanu Izarayeli, mungaapfundzisa njira yadidi yakuti afambe mwenemo; mbatumiza mvula pa dziko yanu, idapasa Imwe mbumba yanu ninga unthaka.

Njala ingagwa, peno mliri, kupya kwa mbeu, kuvunda, dzombe, peno magologolo zingamenya dziko; nyamalwa angazungulira nzinda pa misuwo yawo—mliri peno utenda uri-wonsene ungabwera, phembero peno kucemerera kuri-konsene kunacita munthu m'bodzi na m'bodzi pakati pa mbumba yanu yonsene Izarayeli, m'bodzi na m'bodzi mbadziwa kutambudzika kwa ntima wace ene, mbafunyula manja ace kuelekera ku nyumba iyi, bverani kubulukira kudzulu, pakukhala panu, mbalekerera, mbacita, mbapasa munthu m'bodzi na m'bodzi mwakubverana na njira zace zonsene, thangwi musadziwa ntima wace—Imwe mwekha musadziwa ntima wa anthu onsene, toera iwo akugopeni mu n'dzidzi onsene unakhala iwo pa dziko idapasa Imwe ambuya athu.

Pontho nlendo, wakuti nkhabe kukhala wa mbumba yanu Izarayeli mbwenye wakubwera kudziko yakutali thangwi ya dzina yanu, thangwi iwo anadzabva mbiri ya dzina yanu ikulu, ya manja anu amphambvu na nkono wanu wakutambalala—iye angabwera mbaphembera kuelekera ku nyumba iyi, bverani kubulukira kudzulu, kunakhala Imwe, mbacita pyonsene pinaphemba nlendo, toera mitundu yonsene ya anthu pa dziko idziwe dzina yanu mbakugopeni, ninga munacitira mbumba yanu Izarayeli, mbadziwa kuti nyumba iyi idamanga ine isacemerwa na dzina yanu.

Mbumba yanu ingabuluka toera kumenyana na nyamalwa wawo, mu njira iri-yonsene inaatuma Imwe, mbaphembera kuna Baba wathu kuelekera ku nzinda udasankhula Imwe na ku nyumba idamanga ine thangwi ya dzina yanu, bverani kubulukira kudzulu phembero yawo na kucemerera kwawo, mbatsidzikiza mulandu wawo.

Iwo angakudawirani—thangwi nkhabe munthu wakukhonda dawa—Imwe mungaipirwa mbamuperekani kuna nyamalwa anaakwata ku dziko ya nyamalwa, yakutali peno yaduzi,

mbwenye iwo angapicita muntima mu dziko kunamangwa iwo, mbabwerera mbakudembeterani mu dziko ya ale adaamanga, mbalonga: ‘Tadawa, tacita pyakuipa, tacita uipi,’ pontho iwo angabwerera kuna Imwe na ntima wawo onsene na umaso wawo onsene mu dziko ya ale adaamanga, mbaphembera kuna Imwe kuelekera ku dziko yawo idapasa Imwe ambuya awo, ku nzinda udasankhula Imwe, na ku nyumba idamanga ine thangwi ya dzina yanu, bverani kubulukira kudzulu, pakukhala panu, phembero yawo na kucemerera kwawo, mbatsidzikiza mulandu wawo. Lekererani mbumba yanu idakudawirani, madawo awo onsene adacita iwo kuna Imwe, mbaapasa ntsisi pamaso pa ale adaamanga, toera anyakuamanga aapangize ntsisi, thangwi iwo ndi mbumba yanu na unthaka wanu, adabulusa Imwe ku Ejitu, kubulukira mu ng'anjo ya utale. Maso anu mbakhale akufunguka kuna kucemerera kwa ntumiki wanu na kucemerera kwa mbumba yanu Izarayeli, mbamubva n'dzidzi onsene unakucemerani iwo. Thangwi Imwe mwaasankhula pakati pa mitundu yonsene ya anthu pa dziko toera akhale unthaka wanu, ninga mudalonga Imwe kubulukira mwa Mose ntumiki wanu pidabulusa Imwe ambuya athu ku Ejitu, Imwe Baba Wankulu.”

Salomau Asasimba Gungano

Salomau pidamala iye phembero iyi yonsene na kucemerera kuna Baba wathu, alamuka patsogolo pa guwa ya nsembe ya Baba wathu, pakhadagodama iye na manja akufunyulwa kuelekera kudzulu. Iye aima mbasimba gungano yonsene ya Izarayeli na fala ikulu, mbalonga:

“Mbasimbwe Baba wathu, adapasa kupuma mbumba yace Izarayeli, ninga mudapikira Iye. Nee fala libodzi lidasowa mu pyadidi pyonsene pidapikira Iye kubulukira mwa ntumiki wace Mose. Baba wathu mbakhale na ife ninga mukhakhala Iye na ambuya athu; Iye nee anatisiya nee kutitaya, mbacinca mitima yathu kuna Iye, toera kufamba mu njira zace zonsene na kukoya matongero ace, mitemo yace, na miyambo yace, idatonga Iye kuna ambuya athu. Pontho mafala awa anga, adacemererwa pamaso pa Baba wathu, mbakhale cifupi na Iye masikati na masiku, toera Iye atsidzikize mulandu wa ntumiki wace na wa mbumba yace Izarayeli, mwakubverana na pinafuna ntsiku ibodzi na ibodzi, toera mitundu yonsene ya anthu pa dziko idziwe kuti Baba wathu ndiye Mulungu, pontho nkhabe unango.

Na tenepo ntima wanu mbukhale wakuperekeka mwakukwana kuna Baba wathu, toera kufamba mu mitemo yace na kukoya matongero ace, ninga lero.”

Nyumba Yakuperekwa kuna Baba

Na tenepo mambo pabodzi na Izarayeli yonsene adakhala na iye apereka nsembe pamaso pa Baba wathu. Salomau apereka kuna Baba wathu nsembe zantendere za ng'ombe 22.000 na mabira 120.000. Na tenepo mambo pabodzi na ana onsene a Izarayeli aperekera nyumba ya Baba wathu.
