8 ariko Uhoraho arambwira ati: ‘Warwanye intambara nyinshi zikomeye umena amaraso menshi. Kubera ayo maraso wamennye ku isi mbyirebera, si wowe uzanyubakira Ingoro.

9 Icyakora umuhungu wawe azagira ituze, sinzemerera abanzi be bamukikije guhungabanya umutekano we. Koko rero, azitwa Salomokandi igihe cyose azaba ari ku ngoma, nzaha Abisiraheli amahoro n’umutekano.

10 Uwo ni we uzanyubakira Ingoro, azambera umwana nanjye mubere Se, nzakomeza ingoma ye muri Isiraheli iteka ryose.’

11 Nuko rero mwana wanjye, Uhoraho Imana yawe nabane nawe, kandi akubashishe kumwubakira Inzu nk’uko yabivuze.

12 Uhoraho aguhe ubwenge n’ubushishozi, kugira ngo uzabashe gutegeka Isiraheli ukurikiza Amategeko y’Uhoraho Imana yawe.

13 Uzahirwa niwitonda ugakurikiza amateka n’ibyemezo Imana yahaye Abisiraheli iyanyujije kuri Musa. Komera kandi ube intwari, ntutinye cyangwa ngo ucike intege.

14 Nakoze uko nshoboye nteganya toni eshatu n’igice z’izahabu, na toni mirongo itatu n’eshanu z’ifeza, n’icyuma n’umuringa byinshi cyane byo kubakisha Ingoro y’Uhoraho. Nateguye kandi ibiti n’amabuye ukazabyongēra.

15 Uzaba ufite abakozi b’ingeri zose, abahanga bo guconga amabuye no kubāza ibiti, abantu bashoboye imirimo y’amoko yose.

16 Ufite izahabu n’ifeza, n’icyuma n’umuringa byinshi cyane, ngaho haguruka ukore kandi Uhoraho azabane nawe.”

17 Nuko Dawidi ategeka abatware bose b’Abisiraheli gufasha umuhungu we Salomo.

19 None rero nimushake Uhoraho Imana yanyu mubikuye ku mutima. Nimutangire mwubake Ingoro y’Uhoraho, kugira ngo muzane Isanduku y’Isezerano n’ibikoresho byeguriwe Imana, mubishyire mu Ngoro muzaba mwubakiye Uhoraho.”
