2 Solomone atumine abakuyaita abena Israele bonse, abaletungulula amabumba ya bantu 1,000 na baletungulula amabumba ya bantu 100, bakapingula, intungulushi sha bena Israele shonse e lyo ne ntungulushi sha mayanda ya bashibo.
3 Lyena Solomone no lukuta lonse baile pa ncende balepepelapo mu Gibeone,+ pantu e pali itenti lya kukumaninamo ilya kwa Lesa wa cine, ilyo Mose umubomfi wa kwa Yehova apangiile mu matololo.
4 Lelo Davidi alifumishe icipao ca kwa Lesa wa cine ku Kiriati-yearimu,+ acitwala ku cifulo ico acipekanishishe kabili acipangiile itenti mu Yerusalemu.+
5 Kabili iciipailo ca mukuba+ ico Besalele+ umwana wa kwa Uri umwana wa kwa Huri apangile bacibikile pa ntanshi ye tenti lya kwa Yehova, kabili Solomone no lukuta lonse balepepa pa ntanshi ya ciko.*
6 Palya e po Solomone atuuliile Yehova imituulo, atuliile imituulo ya koca 1,000 pa ciipailo ca mukuba+ icali pe tenti lya kukumaninamo na Lesa.
7 Pali bulya bwine bushiku mu nshita ya bushiku, Lesa amoneke kuli Solomone e lyo amweba ati: “Lomba ifyo ulefwaya nkupeele!”+
8 E lyo Solomone aebele Lesa ati: “Mwalilangile sana Davidi+ tata ukutemwa ukushipwa kabili nimwe mumbikile pa bufumu pa kuti imupyane.+
9 Nomba mwe Yehova Lesa fikilisheni ubulayo mwalaile Davidi tata,+ pantu nimwe munsontele ukuba imfumu pa bantu abafula ngo lukungu lwa pe sonde.+
10 Mpeeleni amano kabili nengeni njishibe+ ifya kutungulula aba bantu, pantu nani uwingapingula aba bantu benu abafula ifi?”+
11 Lyena Lesa aebele Solomone ati: “Apo ifi e fyo umutima obe ulefwaisha kabili taulombele ifyuma nelyo ubucindami, kabili taulombele ukuti abakupata bafwe nelyo ukuti ukekale imyaka iingi,* lelo walomba amano no kwishiba ifyo wingalapingula abantu bandi abo nakusontapo ukuba imfumu,+
12 ndekupeela amano kabili ndelenga wishibe ifya kutungulula abantu bandi; nalakucindamika no kukupeela ifyuma ifyo imfumu shonse ishabalilepo shishatalile ashikwata, kabili ifyo imfumu shonse ishikakukonkapo shishakatale ashikwata.”+
13 E ico Solomone afumine pa ncende ya kupepelapo mu Gibeone+ apali itenti lya kukumaninamo na Lesa, aya ku Yerusalemu kabili aileteka abena Israele.
14 Solomone alelonganika fye amaceleta na bakabalwe.* Akwete amaceleta 1,400 na bakabalwe* 12,000+ kabili afisungiile mu misumba ya maceleta+ mupepi ne mfumu mu Yerusalemu.+
15 Imfumu yalengele silfere na golde yafula nga nshi mu Yerusalemu kwati mabwe,+ kabili yalengele imbao sha fimuti fya mikedari shafula nga nshi kwati fimuti fya mikunyu ifya mu Shefela.+
16 Bakabalwe abo Solomone akwete babafumishe ku Egupti,+ kabili bashimakwebo ba mfumu baleshita bakabalwe abengi* pa mutengo umo.+
17 Iceleta lya ku Egupti limo balelishita pa ndalama sha silfere 600, kabili kabalwe umo balemushita pa ndalama sha silfere 150; Lyena balefishitisha ku mfumu shonse isha bena Hiti ne mfumu sha bena Siria.
