1 Nuko umwami Salomo aca atumako abakuru b’Abisirayeli, abatware b’imiryango bose n’abaserukira amazu y’Abisirayeli, bakoranira i Yerusalemu kugira ngo bazane Isandugu y’Isezerano y’Uhoraho, bayikure aho yari iri i Siyoni mu Gisagara ca Dawidi, bayijane mu kibanza gishasha kiri muri iyo Ngoro. 2 Abisirayeli bose bakoranira imbere y’umwami Salomo ku musi mukuru w’insago, hari mu kwezi kw’indwi ari kwo Etanimu.

3 Abakuru bose b’Abisirayeli bamaze gushika, abaherezi baterura ya sandugu barayidugana, 4 badugana Isandugu y’Uhoraho n’Ihema ry’Ibonaniro, badugana n’ibikoresho vyose vyakoreshwa muri ryo. 5 Umwami Salomo n’ikoraniro ryose ry’Abisirayeli bari bakoraniye hamwe na we bari imbere y’iyo sandugu, batanga ibimazi vyinshi vy’intama n’inka bitashoboye kwandikwa canke ngo biharurwe.

6 Abo baherezi baca bajana iyo Sandugu y’Isezerano y’Uhoraho aho yateguriwe mu gice c’imbere mu Ngoro, ari ho hitwa Ahera Cane, baca bayishira musi y’amababa ya ba bakerubi. 7 Abo bakerubi bari bashanje amababa hejuru y’aho iyo sandugu yari iri, agapfuka isandugu hamwe n’imyamba bayireruza. 8 Iyo myamba yari miremire ku buryo umuntu ari Ahera yashobora kubona aho igarukira. Ariko umuntu atarashika Ahera, ntivyashoboka ko ayibona; kandi iracariho gushika n’uwu musi. 9 Nta kindi kintu cari muri iyo sandugu kiretse vya bisate vy’amabuye Mose yashiramwo ari i Horebu, aho Uhoraho yagiraniye isezerano n’Abisirayeli bamaze kuva muri Egiputa.
