9 Solomona abere anabibugha erihimba enyumba ya Yehova, enyumba y’omwami, n’erikola obuli mwatsi ogho anzire erikola,
2 Yehova mwamuhulukira engendo y’akabiri, ngoko anamuhulukira e Gibeoni.
3 Yehova mwamubwira ati: “Nabiryowa omusabe waghu n’omusabe waghu w’erinisaba uti nikukanganaye olukogho. Enyumba eno eyo ulyahimba, nabiriyirayo mo nyibuyirire, kandi ameso waghe n’omutima waghe bikendisyabya ibine kuyo.
4 Neryo naghu wamabinikolera ngoko baba waghu Daudi anikolera n’omutima wosi n’omo ritunganene omw’ikola ebyosi ebyo niryakusaba, kandi wamabisikya emighambo yaghe n’ebyalayiro byaghe,
5 ingendisyaleka obwami bwaghu ibwatabala Abaisraeli kera na kera, ngoko nalagha baba waghu Daudi omughulu namubwira niti, ‘Omo kihanda kyaghu simwendisyabula omundu oyukendisyikala oko kitumbi ky’obwami kye Israeli.’
6 Aliwe inywe n’abana benyu mwamaleka erinikwama, mwamatendikwama emighambo yaghe n’ebyalayiro byaghe ebyo nabiribaha, mwamayakolera eyindi miungu n’erikukamirayo,
7 ingendibugha Abaisraeli omo kihugho ekyo nabaha, kandi ingendilusya enyumba eyo nayira mo nyibuyirire busana n’eriha erina ryaghe ry’olukungerwa embere sy’ameso waghe, n’abandu bosi ibakendisyapokya* Abaisraeli n’eribasekererya.
8 N’enyumba eyi iyikendisyabya bisambukalirya. N’abandu bosi abakendisyabya bakalaba hakuhi nayo ibakendisyabya bakasamalirayo n’erikukubala. Ibakendisyabya bakasughunda n’eriyibulya bati, ‘Busanaki Yehova mwakolera atya ekihugho eki n’enyumba eyi?’
9 Abandu bakendisyabya bakabasubirya bati, ‘Ni kundi Abaisraeli mubaleka erikwama Yehova oMungu wabo, oyo walusaya abotata-kulu wabo e Misri, kandi kundi mubakwama eyindi miungu, bamakukamirayo, n’erikolerayo. Ekyo kyo kyaleka Yehova inialeterabo obuhanya bungaha n’obu.’”
10 Solomona mwabugha emyaka 20 akahimba amanyumba awabiri ano: Enyumba ya Yehova n’enyumba y’omwami.
11 Oko mughulu oyo, Hiramu, omwami we Tiro, mwaletera Solomona y’esyombagho sy’emiti y’emierezi n’esy’emiti y’ebilaghu, n’ehoro yosi eyo Solomona amusaba. Neryo omwami mwaha Hiramu y’emiyi 20 y’omo kiharo kye Galilaya.
12 Neryo Hiramu mwalua e Tiro akayalebya emiyi eyo Solomona alyamuha, aliwe mwatatsemerayo.*
13 Hiramu mwabwira Solomona ati: “Mughala wetu, eno y’emiyi eyo wamabugha uti ukamba?” Kyo kyaleka emiyi eyo iyahulwa mo kihugho kye Kabuli* erihika na munabwire.
14 Oko mughulu oyo, Hiramu mwatumira omwami y’esyotalanta* 120 sy’ehoro.
15 Eno y’emyatsi eyilebirye abalume abo Solomona aha emibiiri y’erikaswa, mwabaha omubiiri w’erihimba enyumba ya Yehova, enyumba yiwe, Akatwa,* oluhimbo lwe Yerusalema, omuyi we Hazori, we Megido, n’owe Gezeri.
16 (Kiro kighuma, Farao, omwami we Misri, mwayalwa, amahamba omuyi we Gezeri n’eritimyagho. Mwita n’Abakanana ababya bikereyo, neryo mwaha omwali wiwe, muka Solomona, omuyi oyo mo kihembo* akamubwira ati aghende yambo.)
17 Solomona mwatasyahimba* omuyi we Gezeri, we Bete-horoni y’eyikwa,
18 we Balati, n’owe Tamari, owali omo mbwarara, omo kiharo kye Israeli.
19 Mwatasyahimba n’emiyi yosi y’eribikamo ebindu, emiyi y’eribikamo emitoka, n’emiyi y’abakaghenda oko syosabayiri.* Solomona mwahimba ekyosi-kyosi ekyo abya anzire erihimba e Yerusalema, e Lebanoni, n’omo kihugho kyosi ekyo abya akatabala.
20 Aliwe muhasighala Abaamori, Abahiti, Abaperezi, Abahivi, n’Abayebusi bangyi, abatabya b’oko kihanda kye Israeli.
21 Abana babo abasighala omo kihugho, ni bugha ambu, abana b’abandu abo Baisraeli batatoghotaya, Solomona mwabayira mo bakobe, amabaha emibiiri y’erikaswa; bakine bakobe erihika na munabwire.
22 Aliwe Solomona mwatayira n’Omwisraeli n’omughuma mo mukobe, aliwe Abaisraeli bo babya basuda biwe, abaghombe biwe, abakulu b’omo butabali bwiwe, abakomanda bawatikya, n’abakulu b’abandu biwe abakaghendaya esyongurubani, n’abakulu b’abandu biwe abakaghenda oko syosabayiri.*
23 Abimaniri b’abakulu b’emibiiri ya Solomona babya 550, babya bakimanira abandu ababya bakakola emibiiri.
24 Aliwe mwali wa Farao mwalua omo Muyi wa Daudi akayikala omo nyumba eyo Solomona abya iniabirimuhimbira. Enyuma sy’aho, Solomona mwahimba Akatwa.*
25 Kasatu oko mwaka, Solomona iniakaherera amahere w’eryokererya n’amahere w’obuholo oko kiherero ekyo ahimbira Yehova, kandi iniakatumbiraya omuki w’amahere oko kiherero ekyo, ekyabya embere sya Yehova; neryo Solomona mwabugha erihimba ehekalu.
26 Omwami Solomona mwakokotya amato e Ezioni-geberi, eyiri hakuhi ne Elati, oko musike w’Engetse y’Engula, omo kihugho kye Edomu.
27 Hiramu mwatuma abaghombe biwe omo mato ayo batoke eriyakola emibiiri n’abaghombe ba Solomona.
28 Mubaya e Ofiri, bamahekayo esyotalanta 420 sy’ehoro, neryo bamatwalirasyo omwami Solomona.
