UDavide inkosi wathi kulo lonke ibandla : USolomoni indodana yami , oyedwa uNkulunkulu amkhethileyo , usengumfana, usathambile, nomsebenzi mkhulu, ngokuba ithempeli alisilo elomuntu kepha ngelikaJehova uNkulunkulu.

unike uSolomoni indodana yami inhliziyo epheleleyo ukuba agcine imiyalo yakho, nobufakazi bakho, nezimiso zakho, nokwenza konke lokhu, nokwakha ithempeli engililungiseleyo.

Uma umuntu echitha ithempeli likaNkulunkulu , uNkulunkulu uyakumchitha yena, ngokuba ithempeli likaNkulunkulu lingcwele ; niyilo-ke nina.

Emva kwakho konke lokho uJosiya eselilungisile ithempeli , uNekho inkosi yaseGibithe wenyuka ukulwa neKharikemishi ngase -Ewufrathe; uJosiya waphuma ukumhlangabeza.

Linakuvumelana kuni ithempeli likaNkulunkulu nezithombe na ? Ngokuba thina siyithempeli likaNkulunkulu ophilayo, njengokuba washo uNkulunkulu ukuthi: Ngiyakuhlala phakathi kwabo, ngihambe phakathi kwabo; ngiyakuba nguNkulunkulu wabo, bona babe ngabantu bami.

Kunye engikucele kuJehova , ngiyakufuna khona : ukuba ngihlale endlini kaJehova izinsuku zonke zokuphila kwam i ukubona ubuhle bukaJehova , ngibuke ithempeli lakhe.

Ubusisiwe omkhethayo wena, omsondezayo ukuba ahlale emagcekeni akho; siyakusutha ngokuhle kwendlu yakho, ithempeli lakho elingcwele.

Nkulunkulu, abezizwe bangenile efeni lakho; bangcolisile ithempeli lakho elingcwele; benze iJerusalema libe yincithakalo.

Nganikwa uhlanga lufana nenduku , kwathiwa: Sukuma, ulinganise ithempeli likaNkulunkulu, ne-altare, nabakhulekayo kulo.

Kwase kuvulwa ithempeli likaNkulunkulu elisezulwini , kwabonakala umphongolo wesivumelwano sakhe ethempelini lakhe ; kwase kuba khona imibani, namazwi, nokuduma, nokuzamazama komhlaba , nesichotho esikhulu.

Emva kwalokho ngabona , kwase kuvulwa ithempeli letabernakele lobufakazi ezulwini,

Ithempeli lagcwala umusi ovela ekukhazimuleni kukaNkulunkulu nasemandleni akhe ; akakho owayengangena ethempelini, zingakapheleli izinhlupho eziyisikhombisa zezingelosi eziyisikhombisa.

Angibonanga ithempeli kuwo, ngokuba iNkosi uNkulunkulu, uMninimandla onke, iyithempeli lawo kanye neWundlu.

yalinga nokungcolisa ithempeli ; sayibamba, sathanda ukuyahlulela ngomthetho wakithi.

Wena othi akungaphingwa , uyaphinga na ? Wena owenyanya isithombe , uphanga ithempeli na?

wayengavumi ukuba umuntu adabule ithempeli ethwele isitsha.

Abadlulayo bamhlambalaza benikina amakhanda abo , bathi: Eya wena odiliza ithempeli, ubuye ulakhe ngezinsuku ezintathu;

Maye kinina baholi abayizimpumputhe enithi : Ofunga ithempeli akulutho, kodwa ofunga igolide lethempeli uzibophile!

Nofunga ithempeli ufunga lona nohlezi kulo.

bathi: Lo wathi: Nginamandla okudiliza ithempeli likaNkulunkulu, ngibuye ngilakhe ngezinsuku ezintathu.

bathi: Wena odiliza ithempeli , ubuye ulakhe ngezinsuku ezintathu , zisindise, uma uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu, wehle esiphambanweni.

Kwathi lapho izitha zakwaJuda nezakwaBenjamini sezizwile ukuthi abathunjwa bakhela uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli ithempeli,

oshoyo ngoKoresi ukuthi: Ungumalusi wami, uyakufeza konke okwentando yami, athi ngeJerusalema: Liyakwakhiwa, nakulo ithempeli: Isisekelo sakho siyakubekwa.

Ngomnyaka wokufa kwenkosi u -Uziya ngabona uJehova eh lezi esihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi esiphezulu nesiphakemeyo , umsila wengubo yakhe ugcwalisa ithempeli.

Ithempeli-ke, izinsika zomnyango zazinezinhlangothi ezine , nobuso bendawo engcwelengcwele, isimo sabo sasinjengesimo sethempeli.

Ithempeli nendawo engcwelengcwele kwakunezivalo ezimbili.

Wayesengingenisa egcekeni elingaphakathi lendlu kaJehova ; bheka, ngasemnyango weth empeli likaJehova phakathi kompheme ne -altare kwakukhona kungathi amadoda angamashumi amabili nanhlanu efulathele ithempeli likaJehova, ubuso bawo bubhekene nempumalanga, ekhonza ilanga ngasempumalanga.

Ningethembi emazwini amanga, lapho kuthiwa: Nanti ithempeli likaJehova, ithempeli likaJehova, ithempeli likaJehova.

Abakude bayakufika, bakhe ithempeli likaJehova , nazi ukuthi nguJehova Sebawoti ongithumile kini . Kuyakwenzeka, uma nilalela nokulalela izwi likaJehova uNkulunkulu wenu.

Usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti , uthi: Maziqine izandla zenu nina enizwa kulezi zinsuku lawa mazwi avela emlonyeni wabaprofethi ababe khona mhla sibekwa isisekelo sendlu kaJehova Sebawoti, ithempeli, ukuba yakhiwe.
