1 Mbiri 29
1 Kenaka, mfumu Davide inati kwa gulu lonse: “Mwana wanga Solomoni amene Mulungu wamusankha ndi wamngʼono ndipo sadziwa zambiri. Ntchitoyi ndi yayikulu chifukwa nyumba yaufumuyi si ya munthu, koma ndi ya Yehova Mulungu.
Then King David said to everyone gathered there, “My son Solomon, chosen by God alone, is young and inexperienced, and the work to be done is great because this Temple will not be for man, but for the Lord God.
2 Ine ndapereka ku ntchito ya Nyumba ya Mulungu zinthu zanga zonse, golide wopangira zinthu zagolide, siliva wopangira zinthu zasiliva ndi zitsulo zopangira zinthu zazitsulo, mkuwa wopangira zinthu zamkuwa ndi matabwa opangira zinthu zamatabwa komanso miyala yokongola ya onikisi yokongoletsera, miyala ya maonekedwe osiyanasiyana, ndi miyala yonse yosalala ndi miyala ya marabulo, zonsezi ndapereka zochuluka.
Using all my means I have provided for the house of my God—gold for the articles made of gold, silver for the silver, bronze for the bronze, iron for the iron, and wood for the wood; onyx stones and stones for settings: turquoise, different colored stones, every kind of precious stone; and plenty of marble.
3 Kupatulapo izi, ine modzipereka ku Nyumba ya Mulungu wanga, tsopano ndikupereka chuma changachanga cha golide ndi siliva ku Nyumba ya Mulungu wanga, kuwonjezera pa zimene ndapereka ku ntchito ya Nyumba ya Mulungu woyerayu:
More than this, because of my devotion to the house of my God, I'm now giving my personal fortune of gold and silver, in addition to everything that I have provided for this holy house.
4 Matani 100 agolide (golide wa ku Ofiri) ndi matani 240 a siliva woyengeka bwino wokutira makoma a nyumba,
3,000 talents of gold—the gold of Ophir—and 7,000 talents of refined silver will go to cover the walls of the buildings,
5 zinthu zagolide ndi zinthu zasiliva, ndiponso zinthu zonse zimene anthu aluso adzagwiritse ntchito. Tsopano ndani amene akufuna kudzipatulira yekha kwa Yehova lero?”
gold for the gold work, and silver for the silver work, and for all the work done by the craftsmen. Now who willingly wants to commit themselves to giving to the Lord today?”
6 Tsono atsogoleri a mabanja, akuluakulu a mafuko a Israeli, olamulira asilikali 1,000, ndi olamulira asilikali 100, ndiponso akuluakulu onse amene amayangʼanira ntchito ya mfumu anapereka mwaufulu.
They gave willingly—the family leaders, those in charge of the tribes of Israel, the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, and the officials in charge of the king's work.
7 Iwo anapereka ku ntchito ya Nyumba ya Mulungu matani 170 a golide, matani 340 a siliva, matani 620 a mkuwa ndi matani 3,400 a chitsulo.
They gave to the service of the house of God 5,000 talents and 10,000 darics of gold, 10,000 talents of silver, 18,000 talents of bronze, and 100,000 talents of iron.
8 Aliyense amene anali ndi miyala yokongola anayipereka ku nyumba yosungiramo chuma cha Nyumba ya Yehova ndipo amene ankayangʼanira anali Yehieli Mgeresoni.
Those who had precious stones gave them to the treasury of the house of the Lord, under the supervision of Jehiel the Gershonite.
9 Anthu anakondwa chifukwa cha kupereka mwaufulu kwa atsogoleri awo, pakuti anapereka kwa Yehova mwaufulu ndiponso ndi mtima wonse. Nayenso mfumu Davide anakondwera kwambiri.
The people celebrated because their leaders had been so willing to give to the Lord, freely and wholeheartedly. King David was also really delighted.
10 Davide anatamanda Yehova pamaso pa gulu lonse, ponena kuti, “Mutamandidwe Inu Yehova Mulungu wa kholo lathu Israeli kuchokera muyaya mpaka muyaya.
Then David praised the Lord before the whole assembly: “Praise to you, Lord, the God of Israel our father, for ever and ever!
11 Wanu, Inu Yehova ndi ukulu ndi mphamvu, ulemerero ndiponso ufumu ndi kukongola. Pakuti zinthu zonse zakumwamba ndi pa dziko lapansi ndi zanu. Wanu, Inu Yehova ndi ufumu; Inu ndinu wokwezeka ndipo ndinu mtsogoleri wa zonse.
Lord, yours is the greatness, the power, the glory, the splendor, and the majesty, for everything in heaven and on earth is yours. Lord, yours is the kingdom, and you are admired as ruler of all.
12 Chuma ndi ulemu zimachokera kwa Inu; Inu ndinu wolamulira zinthu zonse. Mʼdzanja lanu muli nyonga ndi mphamvu, kukweza ndi kupereka nyonga kwa onse.
Riches and honor come from you and you reign supreme. You possess power and might, and have the ability to make people great and to give strength to all.
13 Tsopano Mulungu wathu, ife tikukuthokozani ndi kutamanda dzina lanu laulemerero.
Now our God we thank you, and we praise you and your glorious character.
14 “Koma ine ndine yani, ndipo anthu anga ndani, kuti tikupatsani mowolowamanja motere? Zinthu zonse zimachokera kwa Inu, ndipo ife takupatsani zomwe zimachokera mʼdzanja lanu.
But who am I, and who are my people, that we are able to give as willingly as this? For everything we have comes from you—we are only giving back what you have given us.
15 Ife ndife anthu osadziwika ndiponso alendo pamaso panu, monga analili makolo athu. Masiku anthu pa dziko lapansi ali ngati chithunzithunzi, wopanda chiyembekezo.
In your eyes we are strangers and foreigners, just like our forefathers. Our time here on earth passes like a shadow, we have no hope of staying here long.
16 Inu Yehova Mulungu wathu, zinthu zonse zimene tapereka kumangira Nyumba yanu zachokera mʼdzanja lanu ndipo zonsezi ndi zanu.
Lord our God, even all this wealth that we have provided to build you a house for your holy name comes from what you give, and it all belongs to you.
17 Mulungu wanga, ine ndikudziwa kuti mumayesa mtima ndipo mumakondwera ndi anthu angwiro. Zinthu zonsezi ndapereka mwaufulu ndi cholinga chabwino. Ndipo tsopano ndaona ndi chimwemwe momwe anthu anu amene ali pano akuperekera mwaufulu kwa Inu.
I know, my God, that you look on the inside and are happy when we live right. Everything I have given willingly and with an honest heart, and now I have seen your people here giving happily and willingly to you.
18 Inu Yehova Mulungu wa makolo athu Abrahamu, Isake ndi Israeli, mukhazikitse chofuna ichi mʼmitima ya anthu anu kwamuyaya, ndipo mukhazikitse mtima wokhulupirika kwa Inu.
Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac, Israel, and our forefathers, please keep these thoughts and commitments in the minds of your people forever, and make sure they stay loyal to you.
19 Ndipo mumupatse mwana wanga Solomoni mtima wodzipereka kwathunthu kwa Inu kuti asunge malamulo anu, zofuna ndi malangizo anu. Achite chilichonse pomanga nyumba yaufumu imene ine ndayipezera zofunika zonse.”
Please also give my son Solomon a desire to whole-heartedly keep your commandments, decrees, and statutes, and to do all he can to build your Temple that I have provided for.”
20 Kenaka mfumu Davide inati kwa gulu lonse, “Tamandani Yehova Mulungu wanu.” Kotero onse anatamanda Yehova, Mulungu wa makolo awo ndipo anawerama pansi ndi kugona chafufumimba pamaso pa Yehova ndi mfumu.
Then David said to everyone there, “Praise the Lord your God!” So everyone praised the Lord, the God of their fathers. They bowed down in reverence to the Lord and to the king.
21 Mmawa mwake anthu anapereka nsembe zosiyanasiyana ndi nsembe zopsereza kwa Yehova; ngʼombe zamphongo 1,000, nkhosa zamphongo 1,000 ndi ana ankhosa 1,000, pamodzi ndi nsembe yachakumwa ndi nsembe zina zambiri zoperekera Aisraeli onse.
The following day they presented sacrifices and burnt offerings to the Lord: one thousand bulls, one thousand rams, and one thousand lambs, with their drink offerings and plenty of sacrifices for all of Israel.
22 Tsiku limeneli, iwo anadya ndi kumwa mosangalala pamaso pa Yehova ndipo anavomereza Solomoni mwana wa Davide kukhala mfumu yawo kachiwiri. Anamudzoza pamaso pa Yehova kukhala wolamulira wawo ndipo Zadoki anadzozedwa kukhala wansembe.
Then they ate and drank in the presence of the Lord with great happiness that day. They made Solomon, the son of David, king for a second time, and they anointed him as ruler for the Lord, and anointed Zadok as priest.
23 Ndipo Solomoni ankakhala pa mpando waufumu wa Yehova monga mfumu mʼmalo mwa Davide abambo ake. Iye analemera ndipo Aisraeli onse ankamumvera.
So Solomon took the throne of the Lord as king in place of David, his father. He was successful, and all the Israelites obeyed him.
24 Akuluakulu onse a ankhondo ndi anthu amphamvu, pamodzinso ndi ana onse aamuna a mfumu Davide, analonjeza kumvera mfumu Solomoni.
All the officials and warriors, as well as all of King David's sons, gave a solemn promise of loyalty to King Solomon.
25 Yehova anamukweza kwambiri Solomoni pamaso pa Aisraeli onse ndi kumupatsa ulemerero waufumu umene sunapatsidwepo kwa mfumu ina iliyonse ya Israeli.
The Lord made Solomon highly respected throughout Israel, and gave him greater royal majesty than had been given to any king of Israel before him.
26 Davide mwana wa Yese anali mfumu ya Aisraeli onse.
So David, son of Jesse, ruled over all of Israel.
27 Iye analamulira Israeli kwa zaka makumi anayi; zaka zisanu ndi ziwiri ali ku Hebroni ndi zaka 33 ali ku Yerusalemu.
He ruled over Israel forty years—seven in Hebron, and thirty-three in Jerusalem.
28 Iye anamwalira atakalamba kwambiri, atakhala ndi moyo wautali, chuma ndi ulemu. Solomoni mwana wake analowa ufumu mʼmalo mwake.
David died at a good old age, having lived a long life, blessed with wealth and honor. Then his son Solomon took over and ruled in his place.
29 Tsono zonse zimene mfumu Davide anachita, kuyambira pachiyambi mpaka pa mapeto, zalembedwa mʼbuku la mneneri Samueli, mʼbuku la mneneri Natani ndi mʼbuku la mneneri Gadi,
Everything that King David did, from beginning to end, is written down in the Records of Samuel the Seer, the Records of Nathan the Prophet, and the Records of Gad the Seer.
30 pamodzi ndi tsatanetsatane wa mbiri ya ulamuliro wake ndi mphamvu zake, ndi zonse zomwe zinamuzungulira iye ndi Israeli ndiponso mafumu a mayiko ena onse.
These include all the details of his reign, his power, and what happened to him, and to Israel, and all to the kingdoms of the neighboring countries.
