22 Ipapo Soromoni akamira pamberi pearitari yaJehovha pamberi peungano yose yaIsraeri, akatambanudza maoko ake kudenga,

23 akati,

“Jehovha, Mwari weIsraeri, hakuna mumwe Mwari akaita semi kumusoro kudenga kana pasi panyika, imi munochengeta sungano yorudo yavaranda venyu vanofamba pamberi penyu nomwoyo wavo wose.

26 Naizvozvo zvino, haiwa Mwari waIsraeri, ndinokumbira kuti shoko renyu ramakavimbisa kumuranda wenyu Dhavhidhi baba vangu riitike.

27 “Chingava chokwadi here kuti Mwari angagara panyika? Tarirai, matenga kana nokudengadenga hazvingagoni kukukwanai. Ko, kuzoti temberi iyi yandakuvakirai!

28 Kunyange zvakadaro, teererai munyengetero womuranda wenyu nokukumbira kwake, haiwa Jehovha Mwari wangu. Inzwai kudanidzira nomunyengetero uri kuitwa nomuranda wenyu pamberi penyu nhasi.

29 Meso enyu ngaarambe akatarisa temberi iyi usiku namasikati, nzvimbo iyi yamakataura muchiti, ‘Zita rangu richavapo,’ kuti muzonzwa munyengetero unonamatwa nomuranda wenyu akatarisa kunzvimbo ino.

30 Inzwai kukumbira kwomuranda wenyu, nokwavanhu venyu Israeri pavanozonamata vakatarisa kunzvimbo ino. Inzwai muri kudenga kwamunogara, uye kana manzwa mugoregerera.

31 “Kana munhu achinge atadzira muvakidzani wake, akanzi apike mhiko uye akauya akapika mhiko pamberi pearitari yenyu mutemberi ino,

32 ipapo inzwai muri kudenga uye muwane zvamunoita. Tongai pakati pavaranda venyu, mupe mhosva kumutadzi nokuisa pamusoro wake iye zvaanenge aita. Mururamisire akarurama nokumupa zvakafanira kururama kwake.

33 “Kana vanhu venyu Israeri vachinge vakundwa navavengi vavo, nokuti vakutadzirai, uye vakadzokazve kwamuri, vakapupura zita renyu, vakanamata nokukumbira kwamuri mutemberi, ino,

34 ipapo inzwai muri kudenga mugoregerera chivi chavanhu venyu Israeri, uye mugovadzosera kunyika yamakapa madzibaba avo.

35 “Kana denga richinge razarirwa mvura ikasanaya nokuti vanhu venyu vakutadzirai, pavanonamata vakatarisa kunzvimbo ino, uye vakapupura zita renyu, vakatendeuka kubva kuchivi chavo nokuti mavaranga,

37 “Kana nzara kana denda zvikauya panyika, kana nyunje, kana muhuvhe, mhashu, kana ndongwe kana muvengi wavo akavakomba mune ripi zvaro ramaguta avo, zvisinei kuti inyatwa ipi kana kuti idenda ripi rauya,

38 uye, kana munyengetero kana chikumbiro chaitwa naani zvake wavanhu venyu Israeri, mumwe nomumwe achiziva zvinomutambudza mumwoyo make, akatambanudzira maoko ake kutemberi ino,

39 ipapo inzwai muri kudenga kwamunogara. Regererai mugowana zvamunoita; mugoitira mumwe nomumwe maererano nazvose zvaanoita, sezvo muchiziva mwoyo wake (nokuti imi chete ndimi munoziva zviri mumwoyo momunhu wose),

40 kuti vakutyei mazuva ose avanorarama panyika yamakapa madzibaba edu.

41 “Zvino kana ari mutorwa, asiri wavanhu venyu Israeri asi anouya achibva kunyika iri kure nokuda kwezita renyu,

42 nokuti vanhu vachanzwa nezvezita renyu guru, ruoko rwenyu rune simba noruoko rwenyu rwakatambanudzwa, paanouya akanyengetera akatarisa kutemberi ino,

43 ipapo inzwai muri kudenga kwamunogara, uye mugoita chinhu chipi nechipi chinokumbirwa kwamuri nomutorwa uyu, kuti marudzi ose enyika azive zita renyu uye agokutyai, sezvinoitwa navanhu venyu Israeri, uye kuti vazive kuti imba ino yandavaka ine Zita renyu.

44 “Kana vanhu venyu vakaenda kundorwa navavengi vavo, kwose kwamunovatuma, uye pavanonyengetera kuna Jehovha vakatarisa kuguta ramakasarudza netemberi yandavakira Zita renyu,

45 ipapo muri kudenga, inzwai munyengetero wavo nechikumbiro chavo, uye mugovabatsira pane zvavanorwira.

46 “Kana vakakutadzirai, nokuti hakuna munhu asingatadzi, imi mukavatsamwira, mukavaisa mumaoko omuvengi, uye akavaita nhapwa munyika yake, kure kana pedyo;

47 uye kana vakapinduka pamwoyo munyika umo mavari nhapwa, uye vakatendeuka nokudemba kwamuri munyika yavatapi vavo, vakati, ‘Takaita, zvakaipa zvisakarurama;’

49 ipapo, muri kudenga, kwamunogara, inzwai munyengetero wavo nechikumbiro chavo, uye mugovabatsira pane zvavanorwira.

50 Muregerere vanhu venyu, vakakutadzirai; muvaregerere pamhosva dzose dzavakapara kwamuri, mugoita kuti vakavatapa vavanzwire tsitsi;

52 “Meso enyu ngaaone chikumbiro chomuranda wenyu nechikumbiro chavanhu venyu Israeri, uye muteerere kwavari nguva dzose pavanochema kwamuri.

53 Nokuti makavasarudza pamarudzi ose enyika kuti vave nhaka yenyu, sezvamakataura nokumuranda wenyu Mozisi, imi Jehovha Mwari, pamakabudisa madzibaba edu kubva muIjipiti.”

Soromoni anoropafadza Ungano yaIsraeri

54 Zvino Soromoni akati apedza munyengetero uyu wose nokukumbira uku kuna Jehovha, akasimuka achibva pamberi pearitari yaJehovha, paakanga akapfugama namabvi ake, maoko ake akatambanudzirwa kudenga.

55 Akamira akaropafadza ungano yose yeIsraeri nenzwi guru akati:

56 “Jehovha ngaarumbidzwe, iye akapa zororo kuvanhu vake Israeri sezvaakavimbisa chaizvoizvo. Hapana kana shoko rimwe chete risina kuitika pazvivimbiso zvose zvakanaka zvaakapa nokumuranda wake Mozisi.

57 Jehovha Mwari wedu ngaave nesu sezvaaiva namadzibaba edu; ngaarege kuzotisiya kana kutirasa.

58 Ngaaite kuti mwoyo yedu yose ive yake, kuti tifambe munzira dzake dzose tichichengeta mirayiro, mitemo nezvaakareva izvo zvaakapa madzibaba edu.

59 Zvino mashoko angu aya, andanyengetera pamberi paJehovha, ngaave pedyo naJehovha Mwari wedu masikati nousiku, kuti asimudzire zvinorwirwa nomuranda wake nezvinorwirwa navanhu vake Israeri nezvinenge zvichidiwa zuva nezuva,

60 kuti vanhu vose vapanyika vazive kuti Jehovha ndiMwari, uye kuti hakuna mumwe.

61 Asi mwoyo yenyu inofanira kuva yakapiwa zvachose kuna Jehovha Mwari wedu, kuti murarame nemitemo yake uye muteerere mirayiro yake sezvamuri kuita iye zvino.”

Kukumikidzwa kweTemberi

62 Zvino mambo navaIsraeri vose vakabayira zvibayiro pamberi paJehovha.

63 Soromoni akabayira chibayiro chezvipiriso zvokuwadzana kuna Jehovha; zviuru makumi maviri nezviviri zvemombe nezviuru zana namakumi maviri zvamakwai nembudzi. Saizvozvo mambo navaIsraeri vose vakakumikidza temberi yaJehovha.

64 Musi iwoyo mambo akakumikidza chikamu chapakati chechivanze chaiva pamberi petemberi yaJehovha, uye ndipo paakabayira zvipiriso zvinopiswa, zvipiriso zvezviyo, namafuta ezvipiriso zvokuwadzana nokuti aritari yendarira yaiva pamberi paJehovha yakanga yakanyanya kuita duku kuti ikwane zvipiriso zvinopiswa, zvipiriso zvezviyo, namafuta ezvipiriso zvokuwadzana.

65 Saka Soromoni akaita mutambo uyu panguva iyoyo, neIsraeri yose pamwe chete naye, ungano huru kwazvo, vanhu vachibva kuRebho Hamati vachisvika kuWadhi yeIjipiti. Vakaupemberera pamberi paJehovha Mwari wedu kwamazuva manomwe namamwe manomwe pamusoro, mazuva gumi namana pamwe chete.

66 Pazuva rakatevera akaita kuti vanhu vaende. Vanhu vakaropafadza mambo vakaenda kumisha yavo vane rufaro mumwoyo mavo nokuda kwezvinhu zvakanaka zvose Jehovha zvaakanga aitira muranda wake Dhavhidhi navanhu vake Israeri.

Jehovha anozviratidza kuna Soromoni

1 Zvino Soromoni akati apedza kuvaka temberi yaJehovha nomuzinda wamambo nezvose zvaaida kuvaka,

2 Jehovha akazviratidza kwaari kechipiri, sezvaakazviratidza kwaari paGibheoni.

3 Jehovha akati kwaari:

“Ndanzwa munyengetero wako nechikumbiro chako chawaita pamberi pangu; temberi iyi yawavaka ndaiita tsvene, nokuisa Zita rangu mairi nokusingaperi. Meso angu nomwoyo wangu zvichavamo nguva dzose.

4 “Zvino iwe, kana ukafamba pamberi pangu nomwoyo wakanaka nokururama, sezvakaitwa naDhavhidhi baba vako, uye ukaita zvose zvandinorayira uye ukatevera mitemo nemirayiro yangu,

5 ndichasimbisa chigaro chako choushe pamusoro peIsraeri nokusingaperi sezvandakavimbisa Dhavhidhi baba vako pandakati, ‘Hapangashayikwi munhu anokutevera pachigaro choushe chaIsraeri.’

6 “Asi kana mukarega kunditevera, imi kana vana venyu, uye mukarega kuchengeta mirayiro yangu nemitemo yangu yandakaisa pamberi penyu, asi mukaenda kundoshumira vamwe vamwari uye mukavanamata,

7 ipapo ndichaparadza Israeri panyika yandakavapa ndigofuratira temberi iyi yandaita tsvene nokuda kweZita rangu. Ipapo Israeri ichazova chirevo nechiseko pakati pamarudzi ose avanhu.

8 Kunyange zvazvo temberi iyi ichishamisa kwazvo iye zvino, avo vachazopfuura napairi vachazoshamiswa vagoshora vachiti, ‘Jehovha aitirei chinhu chakadai kunyika iyi nokutemberi iyi?’

9 Vanhu vachapindura vachiti, ‘Nokuti vakasiya Jehovha Mwari wavo akabudisa madzibaba avo muIjipiti, uye vakanamatira vamwe vamwari, vachivanamata nokuvashandira, ndokusaka Jehovha akauyisa dambudziko guru rakadai pavari.’ ”

Zvimwe Zvakaitwa naSoromoni

10 Makore makumi maviri akati apera, panguva yakavakwa dzimba idzi mbiri naSoromoni, temberi yaJehovha nomuzinda wamambo,

11 Mambo Soromoni akapa Hiramu mambo weTire maguta makumi maviri muGarirea, nokuti Hiramu akanga amupa misidhari, misipuresi negoridhe, zvose zvaaida.

12 Asi Hiramu paakabva kuTire akaenda kundoona maguta aya aakanga apiwa naSoromoni, haana kufadzwa nawo.

13 Akabvunza akati, “Maguta erudzii aya awandipa, hama yangu?” Naizvozvo akaatumidza zita rokuti Nyika yeKabhuru, rinova ndiro zita rawo nanhasi.

14 Zvino Hiramu akanga atumira mambo matarenda zana namakumi maviriegoridhe.

15 Heino nhoroondo yechibharo chakashandiswa naMambo Soromoni pakuvaka temberi yaJehovha, muzinda wake, Miro, rusvingo rweJerusarema neHazori, Megidho neGezeri.

16 Faro mambo weIjipiti akanga arwisa uye akatora Gezeri. Akanga aripisa nomoto. Akauraya vaKenani vaigara mariri akaripa kumwanasikana wake, mukadzi waSoromoni sechipo pakuwanikwa kwake.

17 Uye Soromoni akavaka Gezeri patsva. Akavaka Bheti Horoni yeZasi,

18 Bhaarati, neTadhimori murenje, munyika imomo,

19 pamwe chete namaguta ake ose amatura, namaguta engoro dzake namabhiza ake, zvose zvaakada kuvaka muJerusarema, muRebhanoni nomunyika yose yaaitonga.

20 Vanhu vose vakanga vasara pavaAmori, vaHiti, vaPerizi, vaHivhi navaJebhusi (vanhu ava vakanga vasiri vaIsraeri),

21 vana vavo vakanga vasara munyika, vasina kugona kuparadzwa zvachose navaIsraeri, ivava Soromoni akavaunganidza kuti vashande savaranda vake, sezvazviri kusvikira nhasi.

22 Asi Soromoni haana kuita varanda pakati pavaIsraeri; ndivo vaiva mauto ake, makurukota ake ehurumende, machinda ake, vatungamiri vake vamauto, varayiri vezvengoro navachairi vengoro.

23 Ndivozve vaiva machinda makuru aiona nezvamabasa aiitwa naSoromoni, vatariri mazana mashanu namakumi mashanu vaitungamirira vanhu vaiita basa.

24 Mushure mokunge mwanasikana waFaro abva kuGuta raDhavhidhi akauya kumuzinda wake waakanga avakirwa naSoromoni, Soromoni akavaka Miro.

25 Katatu pagore Soromoni akabayira zvipiriso zvinopiswa nezvipiriso zvokuyananisa paaritari yaakanga avakira Jehovha, akapisa zvinonhuhwira pamwe chete nazvo pamberi paJehovha. Saizvozvo akapedza nezvetemberi.

26 Mambo Soromoni akavakawo zvikepe paEzioni Gebheri, iri pedyo neEroti muEdhomu, pamahombekombe eGungwa Dzvuku.

27 Uye Hiramu akatuma varanda vake, vafambisi vezvikepe vaiziva gungwa kuti vazoshandisa zvikepe pamwe chete navaranda vaSoromoni.

28 Vakaenda kuOfiri, vakandodzokako namazana mana namakumi maviri amatarendaegoridhe, ayo avakandopa Mambo Soromoni.

Mambokadzi weShebha anoshanyira Soromoni

1 Zvino mambokadzi weShebha akati anzwa nezvomukurumbira waSoromoni noukama hwake nezita raJehovha, akauya kuzomuedza nemibvunzo yakaoma.

2 Akasvika paJerusarema navanhu vakawanda, nengamera dzakanga dzakatakura zvinonhuhwira, goridhe rakawanda kwazvo, namatombo anokosha, akauya kuna Soromoni akataura naye pamusoro pezvose zvaiva mupfungwa dzake.

3 Soromoni akapindura mibvunzo yake yose; hapana chakanga chakanyanya kuomera mambo kuti amutsanangurire.

4 Mambokadzi weShebha akati aona uchenjeri hwose hwaSoromoni nomuzinda waakanga avaka,

5 zvokudya zvaiva patafura yake, urongwa hwokugara kwamachinda ake, varanda vake vaimushandira nezvipfeko zvavo, vadiri vake, nezvipiriso zvinopiswa zvaaiita patemberi yaJehovha, akapererwa.

6 Akati kuna mambo, “Zvose zvandakanzwa munyika mangu pamusoro pamabasa enyu nouchenjeri hwenyu zvaiva zvechokwadi.

7 Asi handina kutenda zvinhu izvi kusvikira ndauya ndikazviona nameso angu chaiwo. Zvechokwadi, zvandakaudzwa hazvisviki pahafu yezviripo; muuchenjeri nomuupfumi mapfuura zvose zvandakanzwa.

8 Vanhu venyu vanofanira kuva vanofara sei! Machinda enyu anofara sei, ivo vanomira pamberi penyu nguva dzose nokunzwa uchenjeri hwenyu!

9 Jehovha Mwari wenyu ngaarumbidzwe, iye akafadzwa nemi akakuisai pachigaro choushe chaIsraeri. Jehovha akada Israeri nokusingaperi, nokuda kwaizvozvo akuitai mambo kuti muchengetedze kururamisira noutsvene.”

10 Akapa mambo matarenda zana namakumi maviriegoridhe, zvinonhuhwira kwazvo, namatombo anokosha. Hapana mumwe akazouya nezvinonhuhwira zvakawanda sezvakauyiwa nazvo namambokadzi weShebha kuna Mambo Soromoni.

11 Zvikepe zvaHiramu zvakauya negoridhe kubva kuOfiri; uyewo zvakauya nemiti yemiarumugi namatombo anokosha kubva ikoko.

12 Mambo akashandisa miarumugi iyi kuita mbiru dzetemberi yaJehovha, nedzomuzinda wamambo, uye kugadzira mbira nemitengeranwa zvaishandiswa navaimbi. Miti yemiarumugi yakawanda kudai haina kuzombouyiswa munyika zvakare kana kuonekwa zvakare kubvira musi iwoyo.

13 Mambo Soromoni akapa mambokadzi weShebha zvaaida nezvaakakumbira, pamusoro pezvaakamupa zvaibva papfuma yake youmambo. Ipapo akabva asimuka navaranda vake akadzokera kunyika yake.

Pfuma yaSoromoni nembiri yake
