Abami b’Erimbere 3:1-28
3 Solomona mwakola endaghane na Farao, omwami we Misri. Mwatahya mwali wa Farao, amamutwala omo Muyi wa Daudi. Mwali wa Farao mwikalayo erihika omughulu Solomona abugha erihimba enyumba yiwe, n’erihimba enyumba ya Yehova n’oluhimbo olwabya lutimbire oko muyi we Yerusalema.
2 Aliwe oko mughulu oyo, abandu babya ibakinaherera amahere ah’endata kundi oko mughulu oyo babya isibalibahimba enyumba eyikendiletera erina rya Yehova ry’olukengerwa.
3 Solomona mwakangania kw’anzire Yehova omw’isikya ebyalayiro bya baba wiwe Daudi, aliwe abya iniakaherera amahere n’eritumbirya omuki w’amahere omo myanya y’endata.
4 Omwami mwaya e Gibeoni, mwayahererayo amahere. Kundi omwanya w’endata we Gibeoni wo wabya mwanya w’endata mukulu kutsibu. Solomona mwaherera oko kiherero ekyo kw’amahere 1 000 w’eryokererya.
5 Solomona iniane e Gibeoni, Yehova mwamuhulukira omo nzoli omo kiro. Mwamubulya ati: “Wanzire inakuhaki?”
6 Neryo Solomona mwamusubirya ati: “Wabirikangania omughombe waghu Daudi baba waghe y’olwanzo lunene oluteleghula. Abya mutaleghula okw’iwe, ini mutunganene, kandi iniakakukolera n’omutima owerire. Erihika na lino, ukinamukanganaya olwanzo lunene olo oluteleghula, kundi wabirimuha omwana w’obulume atoke erikala oko kitumbi kiwe ky’obwami.
7 Neryo lino, Yehova oMungu waghe, ingye mughombe waghu wabiriniyira mo mwami omo mwanya wa Daudi baba waghe, nomo nikine mulwana* kandi sindinatalola oko binene.*
8 Ingye mughombe waghu ngatabala abandu baghu abo wabirisombola. Ni banene kutsibu, omundu syangatoka erighanzabo.
9 Neryo ingye mughombe waghu, umbe omutima owakowa, nitoke eritswera abandu baghu, nitoke eriminya ekibuya n’ekibi, kundi hane oyo wangatoka eritswera abandu baghu banene* aba?”
10 Yehova mwatsemera ebyo Solomona amusaba.
11 Neryo oMungu mwamubwira ati: “Kundi siwetanisaba uti kumbe iwabyaho biro binene, siwetanisaba uti nikuhe obuteke kutse uti esyonzighu syaghu sikwe, aliwe mukanisaba uti nikuhe obutoki bw’eryowa emyatsi yo ndeke utoke eribya ukasoha esyombanza omo ritunganene,
12 ngendikuha ebyo ulyanisaba. Ngendikuha amenge n’obutoki bw’eryowa emyatsi yo ndeke kulenga abosi ababyaho isiwewabutwa, n’abosi abakendisyabyaho wabihola.
13 Kandi ngendikuha n’ebyo utalyasaba. Ngendikuha obuteke n’olukengerwa. Omo ngebe yaghu yosi,* sihendisyabya omwami oyukendisyabya n’obuteke n’olukengerwa nga we.
14 Kandi wamabikwama esyonzira syaghe omw’isikya ebyalayiro byaghe n’emighambo yaghe ngoko Daudi baba waghu akola, kandi ingendisyakuwatikya eribyaho omo myaka minene.”*
15 Solomona mwabya abibuka, mwafumbula ngoko yilue nzoli. Enyuma sy’aho, mwaya e Yerusalema, amayimana embere sy’erisanduku ry’endaghane ya Yehova. Mwaherera amahere w’eryokererya n’amahere w’obuholo, n’erikolerera abaghombe biwe bosi b’efete.
16 Oko mughulu oyo, abambalaka babiri mubasa embere sy’omwami.
17 Omukali w’erimbere mwabugha ati: “Mukama waghe, ingye n’omukali oyu tuli omo nyumba nguma. Mungabuta iniane omo nyumba.
18 Muhakabya habilaba ebiro bisatu nabibuta, omukali oyu naye amabuta. Tulue itune haghuma itwe babiri omo nyumba, simulue oghundi mundu.
19 Omo kiro, omukali oyu mwakaghotserera oko mwana wiwe, neryo omwana oyo amahola.
20 Neryo mwakabuka omo kati-kati k’ekiro, amimya omwana waghe oy’ulwe hakuhi naghe, ingye ininaghotsere. Mwakaghotsera’ya omwana wiwe oy’ulue iniabirihola hakuhi naghe,* neryo amaheka owaghe.
21 Mungabya nabibuka omo tututu niti nganyonyesaya mughala waghe, namalangira iniabirihola. Neryo omo tututu eyo, mungamulebya ndeke, aliwe mungalangira ngoko si y’omwana waghe oyo nabuta.
22 Aliwe oghundi mukali mwabugha ati: “Ukateba, mughala waghe yuliho; owaghu abirihola.” Aliwe omukali w’erimbere mwabya akabugha ati: “Ukateba, mughala waghu yo wabirihola, mughala waghe yukinahumula.” Ko babya bakakuba obuhaka bo batya ibane embere sy’omwami.
23 Oko nduli, omwami mwabugha ati: “Ono anemubugha ati, ‘Mughala waghe yuliho, owaghu abirihola!’ N’oghundi iniabugha ati, ‘Ukateba, mughala waghu yo wabirihola, aliwe owaghe akineho.’”
24 Omwami mwabugha ati: “Muniletere omuyali.” Neryo mubamuletera omuyali.
25 Kandi omwami mwabugha ati: “Mutwe omwana mo bihande bibiri. Mukendiha omukali mughuma y’ekihande kighuma, n’oghundi imwamuha ekindi kihande.”
26 Busana n’olwanzo olo mama akabya nalo oko mwana wiwe, mama w’omwana oyo wabya iniakineho mwalw’iniabugha ati: “Kisi mukama waghe, isiwamwita; umuhe omwana oyukiriho.” Aliwe oghundi mukali mwabya akabugha ati: “Itwe bosi tukendiluaho tutya! Bamutwemo bihande bibiri!”
27 Neryo omwami mwabugha ati: “Omukali w’erimbere yo muhe omwana, kundi oyo yo mama wiwe, isimwita omwana.”
28 Abaisraeli bosi mubowa ngoko omwami alyasoha olubanza olo, neryo mubamukenga* kundi mubalangira ngoko oMungu abirimuha amenge w’eritswera emyatsi omo ritunganene.
