1 Mbiri 28
1 Davide anayitana akuluakulu onse a Israeli kuti asonkhane ku Yerusalemu: akuluakulu a mafuko, olamulira magulu a ntchito ya mfumu, olamulira ankhondo 1,000, ndi olamulira ankhondo 100, ndiponso akuluakulu onse osunga katundu ndi ziweto za mfumu ndi ana ake, pamodzinso ndi akuluakulu a ku nyumba yaufumu, anthu amphamvu ndi asilikali onse olimba mtima.
And David assembled all the princes of Israel, the princes of the tribes, and the princes of the divisions that ministered to the king, and the captains over thousands, and the captains over hundreds, and the comptrollers of all the substance and possessions of the king and of his sons, with the chamberlains, and the mighty men, and all the men of valour, unto Jerusalem.
2 Mfumu Davide inayimirira ndipo inati: “Tamverani abale anga ndi anthu anga. Ine ndinali ndi maganizo omanga nyumba monga malo okhalamo Bokosi la Chipangano la Yehova, malo oyikapo mapazi a Mulungu wathu, ndipo ndinakonza ndondomeko yomangira nyumbayo.”
And king David stood up upon his feet, and said, Hear me, my brethren and my people! I had in my heart to build a house of rest for the ark of the covenant of Jehovah and for the footstool of our God, and I have prepared to build.
3 Koma Mulungu anati kwa ine, “Usandimangire nyumba chifukwa ndiwe munthu wankhondo ndipo wakhala ukukhetsa magazi.”
But God said to me, Thou shalt not build a house unto my name, for thou art a man of war, and hast shed blood.
4 “Komabe Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli anasankha ine pakati pa onse a banja langa kukhala mfumu ya Israeli kwamuyaya. Iye anasankha Yuda kukhala mtsogoleri, ndipo pa banja la Yuda anasankha banja langa. Pakati pa ana aamuna a abambo anga, kunamukomera Iye kundikhazika mfumu ya Aisraeli onse.
And Jehovah the God of Israel chose me out of all the house of my father to be king over Israel for ever; for he has chosen Judah to be the prince; and of the house of Judah, the house of my father; and among the sons of my father he took pleasure in me to make me king over all Israel;
5 Pa ana anga ambiri onse amene Yehova wandipatsa, Iye wasankha mwana wanga Solomoni kuti akhale pa mpando waufumu wa ufumu wa Yehova kuti alamulire Israeli.”
and of all my sons, (for Jehovah has given me many sons, ) he has chosen Solomon my son to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of Jehovah over Israel.
6 Yehova anati kwa ine, “Solomoni mwana wako ndiye amene adzamanga nyumba yanga ndi mabwalo anga, pakuti Ine ndamusankha kuti akhale mwana wanga ndipo Ine ndidzakhala abambo ake.
And he said to me, Solomon thy son, he shall build my house and my courts; for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be his father.
7 Ine ndidzakhazikitsa ufumu wake kwamuyaya ngati iye saleka kutsatira malamulo ndi malangizo anga, monga momwe zikuchitikira leromu.”
And I will establish his kingdom for ever, if he be firm to do my commandments and mine ordinances, as at this day.
8 “Tsono lero ine ndikulamula inu pamaso pa Aisraeli onse ndi pa msonkhano wa Yehova, ndipo Mulungu wathu akumva: Mutsatire mosamala malamulo a Yehova Mulungu wathu, kuti dziko labwinoli likhale lanu ndi kuti mudzalipereke kwa zidzukulu zanu kukhala cholowa chawo kwamuyaya.”
And now in the sight of all Israel, the congregation of Jehovah, and in the audience of our God, — keep and seek for all the commandments of Jehovah your God; that ye may possess the good land, and leave it as an inheritance to your children after you for ever.
9 “Ndipo iwe mwana wanga Solomoni, umvere Mulungu wa abambo ako, umutumikire ndi mtima wodzipereka kwathunthu ndi mtima wako wonse, pakuti Yehova amasanthula mtima wa aliyense, ndipo amadziwa maganizo aliwonse a munthu. Ngati ufunafuna Yehova, Iye adzapezeka; koma ngati umutaya, Iye adzakukana kwamuyaya.
And thou, Solomon my son, know the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind; for Jehovah searches all hearts, and discerns all the imaginations of the thoughts. If thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cut thee off for ever.
10 Tsopano ganizira bwino, pakuti Yehova wakusankha iwe kuti umange Nyumba ya Mulungu monga malo ake opatulika. Khala wamphamvu ndipo ugwire ntchito.”
Consider now, that Jehovah has chosen thee to build a house for the sanctuary: be strong, and do [it].
11 Kotero Davide anapatsa Solomoni mwana wake mapulani a khonde la Nyumba ya Mulungu, nyumba zake, mosungiramo katundu, zipinda zake zamʼmwamba, zipinda zamʼkati ndi malo a nsembe zopepesera machimo.
And David gave to Solomon his son the pattern of the porch, and of its houses, and of its treasuries, and of its upper chambers, and of its inner chambers, and of the house of the mercy-seat;
12 Iye anapatsa Solomoni mapulani a zonse zimene ankaziganizira za bwalo la Nyumba ya Yehova ndi zipinda zonse zozungulira, zipinda zosungiramo chuma cha Nyumba ya Mulungu ndi zinthu zoperekedwa kwa Yehova.
and the pattern of all that he had by the Spirit, of the courts of the house of Jehovah, and of all the chambers round about, for the treasuries of the house of God, and for the treasuries of the dedicated things;
13 Davide anamulangiza za magulu a ansembe ndi Alevi ndi ntchito yonse yotumikira mʼNyumba ya Yehova, komanso za zinthu zonse zogwirira ntchito potumikira.
and for the courses of the priests and the Levites, and for all the work of the service of the house of Jehovah, and for all the instruments of service in the house of Jehovah:
14 Iye anakonzeratu za kulemera kwa golide wopangira zida zonse zagolide zogwirira ntchito zosiyanasiyana, ndiponso kulemera kwa siliva wopangira zida zonse zasiliva zogwirira ntchito zosiyanasiyana:
gold by weight for [things] of gold, for all utensils of each kind of service; for all utensils of silver, by weight, for all utensils of each kind of service;
15 kulemera kwa golide wopangira choyikapo nyale chagolide ndi nyale zake; ndiponso kulemera kwa siliva wa choyikapo nyale chilichonse ndi nyale zake, molingana ndi kagwiritsidwe ka choyikapo nyale chilichonse;
and the weight of the golden candlesticks, and of their golden lamps, by weight for every candlestick, and for its lamps; and for the silver candlesticks, by weight, for the candlestick and for its lamps, according to the use of every candlestick;
16 kulemera kwa golide wa tebulo iliyonse yoyikapo buledi wopatulika; kulemera kwa siliva wopangira matebulo asiliva;
and gold by weight for the tables of the [loaves] to be set in rows, for every table; and silver for the tables of silver;
17 muyeso wa golide woyengeka bwino wopangira mafoloko, mbale ndi zotungira; muyeso wa golide wa beseni lililonse la siliva;
and pure gold for the forks, and the bowls, and the goblets; and for the golden basons by weight for every bason; and for the silver basons by weight for every bason;
18 ndiponso muyeso wa golide wabwino wopangira guwa la zofukiza. Davide anamupatsanso ndondomeko ya mapangidwe a galeta, akerubi agolide atatambasula mapiko awo kuphimba Bokosi la Chipangano la Yehova.
and for the altar of incense, refined gold by weight; and the pattern of the chariot of the cherubim of gold, which spread out [their wings] and cover the ark of the covenant of Jehovah.
19 Davide anati, “Zonsezi ndalemba kuchokera kwa Yehova, ndipo Iye wachita kuti ndimvetsetse zonse za mapulaniwa.”
All this [said David, ] in writing, by Jehovah's hand upon me, instructing as to all the works of the pattern.
20 Davide anatinso kwa mwana wake Solomoni, “Khala wamphamvu ndi wolimba mtima ndipo uchite ntchitoyi. Usachite mantha kapena kutaya mtima pakuti Yehova Mulungu wanga ali nawe. Iye sadzakukhumudwitsa kapena kukusiya mpaka ntchito yonse ya Nyumba ya Mulungu itatha.
And David said to Solomon his son, Be strong and courageous, and do it; fear not nor be dismayed: for Jehovah Elohim, my God, will be with thee; he will not leave thee, neither forsake thee, until all the work for the service of the house of Jehovah is finished.
21 Magulu a ansembe ndi Alevi ndi okonzeka kugwira ntchito ya Nyumba ya Mulungu, ndipo munthu waluso aliyense wodzipereka adzakuthandiza pa ntchito yonse. Akuluakulu ndi anthu onse adzamvera chilichonse chomwe udzalamula.”
And behold, the courses of the priests and the Levites are for all the service of the house of God; and thou hast with thee for all manner of workmanship every willing man, skilful for every sort of service; and the princes and all the people are wholly at thy commandment.
