6 Mu tshidimu tshia 480 bena Isalele* bamane kupatuka mu buloba bua Ejipitu,+ mu tshidimu tshinayi panyima pa Solomo mumane kulua mukalenge wa Isalele, mu ngondo wa Ziwa*+ (mmumue ne: ngondo muibidi), wakatuadija kuibaka nzubu wa Yehowa.*+ 2 Nzubu uvua mukalenge Solomo muibakile Yehowa uvua ne nkubita* 60 mu bule, nkubita 20 mu butshiama, ne nkubita 30 mu butumbuke.+ 3 Lutanda+ lua kumpala kua ntempelo* luvua ne nkubita 20 mu bule,* bipetangana ne butshiama bua nzubu.* Lutanda luvua ne butshiama bua nkubita dikumi kumbukila kumpala kua nzubu.

4 Wakenza madidishi a nzubu avua ne nyunguluilu yenda ikepela.*+ 5 Pashishe wakibaka nzubu mukuabu kumpenga kua tshimanu tshia nzubu; uvua munyunguluke bimanu bia nzubu, mmumue ne: bia ntempelo* ne tshibambalu tshia munda menemene,+ ne wakenza bibambalu bia mu nseke kumpenga kuonso aku.+ 6 Bibambalu bia mu nseke bia panshi bivua ne bunene bua nkubita itanu, bia tshisasa tshia kumpala bivua ne bunene bua nkubita isambombo, ne bia tshisasa tshia ndekelu bivua ne bunene bua nkubita muanda mutekete, bualu uvua wenda ukepesha mupimbu wa bimanu wenda ubuela* kumpenga kuonso kua nzubu bua tshintu nansha tshimue katshikadi tshilamakaja ku bimanu bia nzubu.+

7 Bavua bibake nzubu ne mabue avuabu bumbule akavuabu bamane kulongolola,+ nunku pavuabu bibaka kakuvua mutoyi wa nyindu, kasuyi anyi tshintu kayi tshionso tshia tshiamu to. 8 Tshibuelelu tshia tshibambalu tshia mu luseke tshia panshi menemene tshivua ku luseke lua sud* lua nzubu,+ ne tubandilu tuvua tubanda tutangile ku tshisasa tshia pankatshi tuenda tuela bibenda, ne tumbuka ku tshisasa tshia pankatshi tubanda ku tshisasa tshia ndekelu. 9 Wakatungunuka ne kuibaka nzubu, kumujikijaye,+ ne wakabuikila kuulu kua nzubu ne mikamba ya mutshi wa sedre ne milongo ya mabaya a mutshi wa sedre.+ 10 Wakibaka bibambalu bia mu nseke kumpenga kuonso kua nzubu,+ tshibambalu tshionso tshikale ne butumbuke bua nkubita itanu, ne bivua bituangaja ku nzubu ne mabaya a mutshi wa sedre.

11 Tshikondo atshi, dîyi dia Yehowa diakalua kudi Solomo diamba ne: 12 “Bua nzubu uudi wibaka eu, wewe muendele mu mikenji yanyi mifunda, mutumikile mêyi anyi a dilumbuluisha ne mutumikile mikenji yanyi yonso pa kuendelamu,+ meme panyi nenkukumbajile bualu bumvua mulaye tatuebe Davidi,+ 13 nensombe munkatshi mua bena Isalele,+ ne tshiakulekela tshisamba tshianyi tshia Isalele to.”+

14 Solomo wakatungunuka ne kuibaka nzubu bua kumujikija. 15 Wakela* ku bimanu bia munda mua nzubu mabaya a mutshi wa sedre. Wakalamika mabaya ku bimanu bia munda kubangila panshi pa nzubu too ne ku mikamba ya tshisasa, ne panshi pa nzubu wakalamika mabaya a mutshi wa jenevriye.+ 16 Wakapima nkubita 20 kumbukila ku tshimanu tshia mu ndekelu mua nzubu, kukosololaye nzubu ne mabaya a mutshi wa sedre, kubangila panshi too ne ku mikamba, ne wakenzamu* nzubu wa munda menemene,+ Muaba Mutambe Tshijila.+ 17 Ntempelo,*+ mmumue ne: tshitupa tshia nzubu tshivua kumpala kuawu, uvua ne nkubita 40. 18 Bavua buondole benze bimfuanyi bia bibulubulu+ ne bia bilongo bikadi bikanguke+ ku mabaya a mutshi wa sedre avua munda mua nzubu. Munda muonso muvua anu mabaya a mutshi wa sedre; dibue nansha dimue kadivua dimueneka to.

19 Wakalongolola nzubu wa munda menemene+ munda mua nzubu bua kutekamu mushete wa tshipungidi tshia Yehowa.+ 20 Nzubu wa munda menemene uvua ne nkubita 20 mu bule, nkubita 20 mu butshiama, ne nkubita 20 mu butumbuke;+ wakamulamika or muimpe menemene; ne wakalamika mabaya a mutshi wa sedre ku tshioshelu.+ 21 Solomo wakalamika or muimpe menemene munda mua nzubu,+ ne wakela shene ya or kumpala kua nzubu wa munda menemene+ uvua mulamika or. 22 Wakalamika or mu nzubu mujima too ne pavua nzubu yonso mujike; wakalamika kabidi or ku tshioshelu tshionso+ tshivua pabuipi ne nzubu wa munda menemene.

23 Wakenza bakeluba babidi+ ne mutshi wa sapen* mu nzubu wa munda menemene, mukeluba yonso muikale bule bua nkubita dikumi.+ 24 Dipuapua dimue dia mukeluba divua bule bua nkubita itanu, ne dipuapua dikuabu divua bule bua nkubita itanu. Kumbukila ku lusongo lua dipuapua dimue too ne ku lusongo lua dipuapua dikuabu kuvua ntanta wa nkubita dikumi. 25 Mukeluba muibidi uvua pende ne nkubita dikumi. Bakeluba babidi abu bavua bule bumue ne bavua benza mushindu wa muomumue. 26 Bule bua mukeluba umue buvua bua nkubita dikumi, anu muvua bule bua mukeluba mukuabu au. 27 Pashishe wakateka bakeluba abu+ mu nzubu wa munda.* Mapuapua a bakeluba avua molola bienza bua ne: dipuapua dia mukeluba umue divua difika ku tshimanu tshimue, ne dipuapua dia mukeluba mukuabu divua difika ku tshimanu tshikuabu, ne mapuapua abu avua molola matangija munkatshi mua nzubu, bienza bua mapuapua abu alengangane. 28 Pashishe wakalamika bakeluba or.

29 Ku bimanu bionso bia nzubu, kumpenga kuonso kua tshibambalu tshia munda ne tshia pambelu,* wakondola bimfuanyi bia bakeluba,+ bia mabue a ngaji,+ ne bia bilongo bikadi bikanguke.+ 30 Wakalamika or panshi pa nzubu, mu tshibambalu tshia munda ne tshia pambelu. 31 Bua tshibuelelu tshia mu nzubu wa munda menemene, wakenza biibi bia mutshi wa sapen, makunji a mu nseke, ne mabaya a mu nseke ya mushiku wa mbelu, bu tshitupa tshitanu.* 32 Biibi bibidi abi bivua bia mutshi wa sapen, ne wakondolapu kuenzaye bimfuanyi bia bakeluba, bia mabue a ngaji, ne bia bilongo bikadi bikanguke, ne wakalamikapu or; wakatuta or pa mutu pa bakeluba ne pa mabue a ngaji. 33 Bua tshibuelelu tshia ntempelo,* ke muvuaye muenze mabaya a mu nseke ya mushiku wa mbelu a mutshi wa sapen, bivua bia tshitupa tshinayi.* 34 Wakenza biibi bibidi ne mabaya a mutshi wa jenevriye. Tshiibi tshimue tshivua ne biibi bibidi bivua binyungulukila ku binyungulukilu bia tshiibi, ne tshiibi tshikuabu tshivua ne biibi bibidi bivua binyungulukila ku binyungulukilu bia tshiibi.+ 35 Wakondola kuenzaye bimfuanyi bia bakeluba, bia mabue a ngaji, ne bia bilongo bikadi bikanguke, kulamikaye tshipeyipeyi tshia or pa bimfuanyi abi.

36 Wakibaka lubanza lua munda+ ne milongo isatu ya mabue masonga ne mulongo wa mikamba ya mutshi wa sedre.+
