8 Ico gihe Salomo+ atangura gukoranya+ abagabo b’inararibonye+ ba Isirayeli, abakuru b’imiryango+ bose, abakuru ba ba se+, ba bene Isirayeli, abakoraniriza ku Mwami Salomo i Yeruzalemu, kugira ngo badugane isandugu y’isezerano+ rya Yehova bayikuye mu Gisagara ca Dawidi+, ari co Siyoni+. 2 Nuko abagabo ba Isirayeli bose bakoranira ku Mwami Salomo mu kwezi* kwa Etanimu, mu gihe c’umusi mukuru+, ni ukuvuga ukwezi kugira indwi+. 3 Abagabo b’inararibonye ba Isirayeli bose baraza rero, maze abaherezi batangura kurerura+ ya Sandugu+. 4 Badugana isandugu ya Yehova n’ihema+ ry’ihuriro+ n’ibikoresho vyeranda vyose vyari muri nya hema; nuko abaherezi n’Abalewi+ barabidugana+. 5 Kandi Umwami Salomo ari kumwe n’ikoraniro rya Isirayeli ryose, abari bubahirije isango bari bahanye na we, bari imbere ya nya Sandugu, bashikana ibimazi+ vy’intama n’inka bidashobora guharurwa canke kumenyekana igitigiri kubera ubwinshi+.

6 Maze abaherezi binjiza isandugu+ y’isezerano rya Yehova mu kibanza cayo+, mu cumba c’ahitereye ca ya nzu, Aheranda Rwose, munsi y’amababa ya ba bakerubi+.

7 Kuko nya bakerubi bari bashanje amababa yabo hejuru y’ikibanza c’iyo Sandugu, ku buryo abo bakerubi baguma bakingiririye hejuru nya Sandugu n’iminiho yayo+. 8 Mugabo iyo miniho+ yari miremire, ku buryo imitwe yayo yabonwa n’uwuri Aheranda* imbere y’icumba c’ahitereye, mugabo ntiyabonwa n’uwuri hanze. Iyo miniho ni ho ikiri gushika n’uyu musi+. 9 Nta kintu na kimwe cari muri iyo Sandugu kiretse vya bisate vy’amabuye+ bibiri Musa yari yarashizemwo+ i Horebu, ca gihe Yehova yasezerana+ na bene Isirayeli hamwe bariko bava mu gihugu ca Misiri+.

10 Nuko abaherezi basohotse bavuye ahantu heranda, igicu+ cuzura inzu ya Yehova. 11 Abaherezi+ ntibashobora guhagarara ngo bakore igikorwa cabo+ kubera nya gicu, kuko ubuninahazwa+ bwa Yehova bwari bwuzuye inzu ya Yehova+. 12 Ico gihe Salomo avuga ati: “Yehova ubwiwe yavuze ko yobaye mu muzimagiza w’umuzitanya+. 13 Narashoboye kukwubakira inzu y’uburaro buhanitse+, ahantu hashimangiye+ kugira ngo uhabe gushika igihe kitagira urugero+.”

14 Maze umwami arahindukira, atangura guhezagira+ ishengero rya Isirayeli ryose, mu gihe iryo shengero rya Isirayeli ryose ryari rihagaze. 15 Hanyuma avuga ati: “Arahezagiwe Yehova+ Imana ya Isirayeli, we yavuganye na Dawidi+ dawe akoresheje akanwa kiwe, kandi agashitsa+ n’ukuboko kwiwe, mu kuvuga ati: 16 ‘Kuva umusi nakura abantu banje Isirayeli mu Misiri, nta gisagara natoye+ mu miryango yose ya Isirayeli ku bwo kwubaka inzu+ kugira ngo izina ryanje+ rigumeyo; mugabo nzotora Dawidi kugira ngo aganze abantu banje Isirayeli+.’ 17 Nuko Dawidi dawe agira icipfuzo mu mutima wiwe co kwubakira inzu izina rya Yehova Imana ya Isirayeli+. 18 Mugabo Yehova abwira Dawidi dawe ati: ‘Ko wagize icipfuzo mu mutima wawe co kwubakira inzu izina ryanje, wagize neza, kubera ko ivyo vyari ku mutima wawe+. 19 Gusa wewe si we uzokwubaka iyo nzu, ahubwo umuhungu wawe azova muri wewe* ni we azokwubakira inzu izina ryanje+.’ 20 Nuko Yehova atangura gushitsa ijambo ryiwe+ yari yaravuze, kugira ngo mpaguruke mu kibanza ca Dawidi dawe maze nicare ku ntebe y’ubwami ya Isirayeli+, nk’uko nyene Yehova yari yaravuze, no kugira ngo nubakire inzu izina rya Yehova Imana ya Isirayeli+, 21 no kugira ngo nshire ikibanza ng’aho ku bw’Isandugu irimwo isezerano+ rya Yehova, iryo yagiranye na ba sogokuruza bacu igihe yariko abakura mu gihugu ca Misiri.”

22 Nuko Salomo ahagarara imbere y’igicaniro+ ca Yehova, imbere y’ishengero rya Isirayeli ryose, hanyuma agaranzura ibiganza avyerekeje mu majuru+; 23 maze avuga ati: “Ewe Yehova Mana ya Isirayeli+, nta Mana iriho imeze nkawe+ mu majuru hejuru canke kw’isi hasi, wewe ugumya isezerano n’ubuntu bwuzuye urukundo+ ku bijanye n’abasavyi bawe+ bagendera imbere yawe n’umutima wabo wose+, 24 wewe wagumije ku bijanye n’umusavyi wawe Dawidi dawe ivyo wamusezeraniye, ku buryo utanga umuhango n’akanwa kawe, ugashitsa n’ukuboko kwawe, nk’uko biri uyu musi+. 25 None rero, ewe Yehova Mana ya Isirayeli, nugumye ku bijanye n’umusavyi wawe Dawidi dawe ivyo wamusezeraniye uti: ‘Imbere yanje ntihazobura umugabo wo mu bawe wo kwicara ku ntebe y’ubwami ya Isirayeli+, abahungu bawe nibakira gusa kwitwararika inzira yabo mu kugendera imbere yanje nk’uko nyene wagendeye imbere yanje.’ 26 None rero, ewe Mana ya Isirayeli, ndakwinginze umuhango+ wahaye umusavyi wawe Dawidi dawe uboneke ko ari uwo kwizigirwa.

27 “Ariko none, Imana izoba vy’ukuri kw’isi+? Ehe amajuru+, egome, ijuru ry’amajuru+, ubwayo ntashobora kugukwira+; nkanswe rero iyi nzu+ nubatse! 28 Mugabo nushire umutima kw’isengesho+ ry’umusavyi wawe n’ugusaba ubutoni kwiwe+, ewe Yehova Mana yanje, kugira wumvirize akamo k’ukwinginga n’isengesho umusavyi wawe ariko atura imbere yawe uno musi+; 29 kugira ngo ugumize amaso yawe+ kuri iyi nzu ijoro n’umurango, aha hantu wavuze ku biherekeye uti: ‘Izina ryanje rizoba ng’aho+,’ kugira wumvirize isengesho umusavyi wawe atura yerekeje aha hantu+. 30 Uze wumvirize ugusaba ubutoni+ kuvuye ku musavyi wawe no ku bantu bawe Isirayeli, ukwo batura berekeje aha hantu; kandi wewe ubwawe uze wumve uri ahantu uba, mu majuru+, uze wumve maze ubabarire+.

31 “Umuntu niyacumura kuri mugenziwe+, maze uno agashira umuvumo kuri we kugira ngo atume aba uwushobora gushikirwa na nya muvumo+, hanyuma akaza ari muri nya muvumo imbere y’igicaniro cawe muri iyi nzu, 32 wewe ubwawe uze wumve rero uri mu majuru, maze ugire ico ukoze, ucire urubanza abasavyi bawe mu kuvuga ko umubisha ari umubisha, mu gushira inzira yiwe ku mutwe wiwe+, no mu kuvuga ko umugororotsi agororotse+ mu kumuha nk’uko ubugororotsi+ bwiwe bwite buri.

33 “Abantu bawe Isirayeli nibatsindwa imbere y’umwansi+, kubera yuko bazoba bagumye bagucumurako+, hanyuma bakagaruka koko kuri wewe+, bagahaya izina ryawe+, bagasenga+ kandi bagasaba ubutoni berekeje kuri wewe muri iyi nzu+, 34 wewe ubwawe uze wumve rero uri mu majuru, maze ubabarire igicumuro c’abantu bawe Isirayeli+, hanyuma ubagarukane+ ku butaka wahaye ba sekuruza babo+.

35 “Ijuru niryugarwa ku buryo hataboneka imvura+, kubera yuko bazoba bagumye bagucumurako+, hanyuma bagasenga koko berekeje aha hantu+, bagahaya izina ryawe, kandi bagahindukira bakava mu gicumuro cabo, kuko uzoba wagumye ubateza amarushwa+, 36 wewe ubwawe uze wumve rero uri mu majuru, maze ubabarire igicumuro c’abasavyi bawe, egome, c’abantu bawe Isirayeli, kuko ubigisha+ inzira nziza bakwiye kugenderamwo+; kandi uze utange imvura+ ku gihugu cawe wahaye abantu bawe ngo kibabere intoranwa.

37 “Nihatera ikigoyi+ mu gihugu, nihatera ikiza+, nihatera ukubabuka kw’ibirimwa, ururyi+, inzige+, inyenzi+; abansi babo nibabugariza mu gihugu c’amarembo yabo​—⁠ubwoko ubwo ari bwo bwose bw’icago, ubwoko ubwo ari bwo bwose bw’indwara​— 38 isengesho iryo ari ryo ryose+, ugusaba ubutoni ukwo ari kwo kwose+ kuzoba kuvuye ku muntu uwo ari we wese canke ku bantu bawe Isirayeli bose+, kuko umwumwe wese azi icago c’umutima wiwe+, maze bakagaranzura koko ibiganza vyabo bavyerekeje kuri iyi nzu+, 39 wewe ubwawe uze wumve rero uri mu majuru+, ahantu hashimangiye uba+, maze ubabarire+ kandi ugire ico ukoze+, uhe umwumwe wese nk’uko inzira ziwe zose ziri+, kuko uzi umutima wiwe+ (kubera ko ari wewe wenyene uzi umutima w’abana b’abantu bose+); 40 kugira ngo bagutinye+ imisi yose bazoba ari bazima ku buringanire bw’ubutaka wahaye ba sogokuruza bacu+.

41 “Kandi n’umunyamahanga+, atari uwo mu bantu bawe Isirayeli, azoza koko avuye mu gihugu ca kure kubera izina ryawe+ 42 (kuko bazokwumva ivyerekeye izina ryawe rihambaye+ n’ivyerekeye ikiganza cawe gikomeye+ be n’ivyerekeye ukuboko kwawe kuramvuye), akaza koko gusenga yerekeje kuri iyi nzu+, 43 wewe ubwawe uze wumvirize uri mu majuru, ahantu hashimangiye uba+, maze ukore wisunze ivyo uwo munyamahanga azoba aguhamagariye vyose+; kugira ngo ibisata vyo kw’isi vyose bimenye izina ryawe+ maze bigutinye nk’uko igisata cawe Isirayeli kigutinya, no kugira bimenye yuko izina ryawe ryambarijwe kuri iyi nzu nubatse+.

44 “Abantu bawe nibasohoka bakaja mu ntambara+ kurwanya umwansi wabo mu nzira uzobarungikamwo+, maze bagasenga+ vy’ukuri Yehova berekeje ku gisagara watoye+ no kuri iyi nzu nubakiye izina ryawe+, 45 uze rero wumve uri mu majuru isengesho ryabo n’ugusaba ubutoni kwabo, maze ushitse urubanza ku bwabo+.

46 “Nibagucumurako+ (kuko ata muntu adacumura+), maze bikaba ngombwa ko ubarurumbira ishavu, ukabagabura ku mwansi, hanyuma bene kubagira imbohe bakabatwara koko ari imbohe mu gihugu c’umwansi ca kure canke ca hafi+; 47 maze bakagarura koko ubwenge mu gihugu bazoba batwawemwo ari imbohe+, hanyuma bakagaruka koko kuri wewe+, bakagusaba+ ubutoni mu gihugu c’ababagize imbohe+, mu kuvuga bati: ‘Twaracumuye+ kandi twarahuvye+, twakoze ivy’ububisha+’; 48 bakagaruka koko kuri wewe n’umutima wabo wose+ n’ubuzima bwabo bwose mu gihugu c’abansi babo babatwaye ari imbohe, maze bakagusenga koko berekeje mu gihugu cabo wahaye ba sekuruza babo, igisagara watoye n’iyi nzu nubakiye izina ryawe+; 49 uze rero wumve uri mu majuru, ahantu hashimangiye uba+, isengesho ryabo n’ugusaba ubutoni kwabo, maze ushitse urubanza ku bwabo+, 50 ubabarire+ abantu bawe bazoba baragucumuyeko+ be n’ibigabitanyo vyabo+ vyose bakugabitanijeko+; uze ubagire abo kwumvirwa akagongwe+ imbere y’ababagize imbohe maze babumvire ikigongwe 51 (kuko ari abantu bawe n’intoranwa yawe+ wakuye mu Misiri+, mw’itanure rishongesha ivyuma+), 52 kugira ngo ugumize amaso yawe ku gusaba ubutoni kw’umusavyi wawe no ku gusaba ubutoni+ kw’abantu bawe Isirayeli, mu kubumviriza mu vyo bazoguhamagarira vyose+. 53 Kuko ari wewe wabatandukanije n’ibisata vy’abantu vyo kw’isi+ vyose kugira ngo babe intoranwa yawe, nk’uko nyene wavuze biciye kuri Musa+ umusavyi wawe, igihe wariko ukura ba sogokuruza bacu mu Misiri, ewe Mukama Segaba Yehova.”

54 Nuko Salomo akirangiza gusenga Yehova akoresheje iryo sengesho ryose n’ukwo gusaba ubutoni kwose, arahaguruka ava imbere y’igicaniro ca Yehova, aho yari apfukamye+ agaranzuye ibiganza avyerekeje mu majuru+; 55 arahagarara+ rero maze ahezagira+ ishengero rya Isirayeli ryose n’ijwi rirenga, mu kuvuga ati: 56 “Hahezagirwe Yehova+, we yahaye abantu biwe Isirayeli ahantu h’ukuruhukira, akurikije ivyo yasezeranye vyose+. Nta jambo na rimwe ritashitse+, mu muhango mwiza wiwe wose yatanze biciye kuri Musa umusavyi wiwe+. 57 Yehova Imana yacu abane natwe+ nk’uko nyene yabanye na ba sogokuruza bacu+. Ese atoduta canke ngo aduhebe+, 58 kugira duhengekere umutima wacu+ kuri we ngo tugendere mu nzira ziwe zose+ kandi tugumye amabwirizwa yiwe+ n’ingingo nyobozi ziwe+ n’ingingo z’ubutungane ziwe+, ivyo yategetse ba sogokuruza bacu. 59 Kandi aya majambo yanje nasabishije ubutoni imbere ya Yehova abe hafi+ ya Yehova Imana yacu ku murango no mw’ijoro, kugira ngo ashitse urubanza ku bw’umusavyi wiwe n’urubanza ku bw’abantu biwe Isirayeli, uko vyokenerwa ku musi+ ku musi; 60 kugira ngo ibisata vy’abantu vyo kw’isi vyose bimenye+ ko Yehova ari we Mana y’ukuri+. Nta yindi iriho+. 61 Kandi umutima wanyu uze ube uwukwiye+ ku vyerekeye Yehova Imana yacu mu kugendera mu ngingo nyobozi ziwe no mu kugumya amabwirizwa yiwe nk’uko biri uyu musi.”

62 Kandi umwami na Isirayeli yose yari kumwe na we bariko bashikana ikimazi gihambaye imbere ya Yehova+. 63 Salomo atangura gushikana ibimazi vy’ugusangira+ yabwirizwa gushikanira Yehova, inka ibihumbi mirongo ibiri na bibiri n’intama ibihumbi ijana na mirongo ibiri+, kugira ngo umwami na bene Isirayeli bose binjire+ inzu ya Yehova. 64 Kuri uwo musi, biba ngombwa ko umwami yeza igice co hagati c’ikigo kiri imbere y’inzu ya Yehova+, kuko ari ho yabwirizwa gutangira ikimazi giturirwa n’ishikanwa ry’intete n’ibikenye binuze vy’ibimazi vy’ugusangira; kuko igicaniro c’umujumpu+ kiri imbere ya Yehova cari gitoya cane ku buryo kitari gukwiramwo ico kimazi giturirwa, n’iryo shikanwa ry’intete, n’ivyo bikenye binuze+ vy’ibimazi vy’ugusangira. 65 Nuko ico gihe Salomo ahimbariza imbere ya Yehova Imana yacu umusi mukuru+, ari kumwe na Isirayeli yose, ishengero rinini+, kuva ku bwinjiriro bwa Hamati+ gushika ku mwonga wa Misiri+, amara imisi indwi be n’iyindi misi indwi+, ni ukuvuga imisi cumi n’ine. 66 Ku musi ugira umunani arungika abantu+; nuko batangura guhezagira umwami maze baja i muhira iwabo, banezerewe+ kandi baryohewe mu mutima+ kubera ineza+ yose Yehova yari yaragiriye Dawidi umusavyi wiwe na Isirayeli abantu biwe.
