13 Ine ndakumangirani ndithu nyumba yokhalamo Inu, ndiyo malo okhalamo Inu nthawi zosatha.
14 Ndipo mfumu inapotoloka nkhope yake, nidalitsa msonkhano wonse wa Israele. Ndi msonkhano wonse wa Israele unaimirira.

21 Ndipo ndakonzera malo likasalo, m’mene muli chipangano cha Yehova, chimene anapangana ndi makolo athu pamene anawatulutsa m’dziko la Ejipito.
22 Ndipo Solomoni anaimirira ku guwa la nsembe la Yehova pamaso pa msonkhano wonse wa Israele, natambasulira manja ake kumwamba, nati,
23 Yehova Mulungu wa Israele, palibe Mulungu wolingana ndi Inu m’thambo la kumwamba, kapena padziko lapansi, wakusungira chipangano ndi chifundo akapolo anu akuyenda ndi mtima wonse pamaso panu,
24 wakusungira mtumiki wanu Davide atate wanga chimene mudamlonjezacho; munalankhulanso m’kamwa mwanu ndi kukwaniritsa ndi dzanja lanu monga lero lino.
25 Ndipo tsopano, Yehova Mulungu wa Israele, msungireni mtumiki wanu Davide atate wanga chimene chija mudamlonjezacho, ndi kuti, Sadzakusowa munthu pamaso panga wokhala pa mpando wachifumu wa Israele; komatu ana ako achenjere njira yao, kuti akayende pamaso panga monga umo unayendera iwe pamaso panga.

28 Koma mucheukire pemphero la kapolo wanu, ndi pembedzero lake, Yehova Mulungu wanga, kumvera kulira ndi kupempha kwake kumene kapolo wanu apempha pamaso panu lero;
29 kuti maso anu atsegukire nyumba ino usiku ndi usana, kumalo kumene munanenako, Dzina langa lidzakhala komweko; kuti mumvere pemphero limene adzapemphera kapolo wanu lolunjika kumalo kuno.
30 Ndipo mverani pembedzero la kapolo wanu ndi la anthu anu Aisraele, pamene adzapemphera molunjika kumalo kuno; ndipo mverani Inu mu Mwamba mokhala Inumo; ndipo pamene mukumva, khululukirani.

40 kuti aope Inu masiku onse akukhala iwowo m’dziko limene Inu munapatsa makolo ao.
41 Ndiponso kunena za mlendo, wosati wa anthu anu Aisraele, koma wakufumira m’dziko lakutali chifukwa cha dzina lanu,

43 mverani Inu mu Mwamba mokhala Inu, ndipo chitani monga mwa zonse mlendoyo azipempha kwa Inu; kuti anthu onse a dziko lapansi adziwe dzina lanu, kuopa Inu, monga amatero anthu anu Aisraele, ndi kuti adziwe kuti nyumba ino ndaimangayi yatchedwa dzina lanu.
44 Akatuluka anthu anu kukayambana nkhondo ndi adani ao, kumene konse Inu mudzawatuma, ndipo akapemphera kwa Yehova molunjika kumzinda uno munausankha Inu, ndi kunyumba ndamangira dzina lanu;
45 pamenepo mverani Inu mu Mwamba pempho ndi pembedzero lao, ndi kulimbitsa mlandu wao.
46 Akachimwira Inu, popeza palibe munthu wosachimwa, ndipo mukakwiya nao ndi kuwapereka kwa adani, kuti iwo awatenge ndende kunka nao ku dziko la adani, ngati kutali kapena kufupi,
47 ndipo akakumbukira mitima yao, ali kudziko kumene anatengedwa ukapolo, nakalapa, nakapembedza Inu m’dziko iwo anawatenga ndende, ndi kuti, Tachimwa, ndipo tachita mphulupulu, tachita moipa;

53 Popeza Inu munawapatula pa anthu onse a padziko lapansi akhale cholowa chanu, monga munanena ndi dzanja la Mose mtumiki wanu, pamene munatulutsa makolo athu mu Ejipito, Yehova Mulungu Inu.
Solomoni adalitsa Aisraele
54 Ndipo kunali kuti atatsiriza Solomoni kupemphera kwa Yehova pemphero ndi pembedzero lino lonse, ananyamuka ku guwa la nsembe la Yehova pomwe analikugwada pa mabondo ake, ndi manja ake otambasulira kumwamba.
55 Naimirira, nadalitsa msonkhano wonse wa Israele ndi mau okweza, nati,
56 Wolemekezeka ndi Yehova amene anapumulitsa anthu ake Aisraele, monga mwa zonse analonjezazo; sanatayike mau amodzi a mau ake onse abwino, amene analankhula ndi dzanja la Mose mtumiki wake.
57 Yehova Mulungu wathu akhale nafe monga umo anakhalira nao makolo athu, asatisiye kapena kutitaya;
58 kuti atitembenuzire kwa Iye yekha mitima yathu iyende m’njira zake zonse, ndi kusunga malamulo ake onse ndi malemba ake ndi maweruzo ake, amene anawalamulira makolo athu.
59 Ndipo mau anga amenewa ndapembedzera nao pamaso pa Yehova akhale pafupi ndi Yehova Mulungu wathu usana ndi usiku, kuti alimbitse mlandu wa kapolo wake, ndi mlandu wa anthu ake Aisraele, mlandu wa tsiku pa tsiku lake;
60 kuti anthu onse a padziko lapansi akadziwe kuti Yehova ndiye Mulungu, palibe wina.
61 Mitima yanu ikhale yangwiro ndi Yehova Mulungu wathu, kuyenda m’malemba ake ndi kusunga malamulo ake, monga lero lino.
62 Ndipo mfumu ndi anthu onse a Israele pamodzi naye anaphera nsembe pamaso pa Yehova.
63 Ndipo Solomoni anaphera nsembe yamtendere, yophera kwa Yehova ng’ombe zikwi makumi awiri mphambu ziwiri, ndi nkhosa zikwi zana limodzi mphambu makumi awiri. Momwemo mfumu ndi ana a Israele onse anapereka nyumbayo ya Yehova.
64 Tsiku lomwelo mfumu inapatulira Mulungu pakati pake pa bwalo la ku khomo la nyumba ya Yehova; pakuti pomwepo anapereka nsembe yopsereza ndi nsembe yaufa, ndi mafuta a nsembe zamtendere; popeza guwa la nsembe lamkuwa linali pamaso pa Yehova lidachepa kulandira nsembe zopsereza, ndi nsembe zaufa, ndi mafuta a nsembe zamtendere.
65 Ndipo nthawi yomweyo Solomoni anachita madyerero pamaso pa Yehova Mulungu wathu, ndi Israele yense pamodzi naye, msonkhano waukulu wakuyambira polowera ku Hamati kufikira ku nyanja ya ku Ejipito, masiku asanu ndi awiri, ndi masiku asanu ndi awiri ena, ndiwo masiku khumi mphambu anai.
66 Tsiku lachisanu ndi chitatu anawauza anthu apite; ndipo iwo anadalitsa mfumu, napita ku mahema ao osekera ndi okondwera mtima chifukwa cha zokoma zonse Yehova anachitira Davide mtumiki wake, ndi Israele anthu ake.
