1 Weche Mag Ndalo 22
1 Bangʼe Daudi nowacho niya, “Ma e kama od Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasaye nobedie, kendo kae ema jo-Israel nogerie kendo mar misango miwangʼo pep.”
Then David said, “Here, [at the edge of Jerusalem, ] is where [we will build] the temple for our God Yahweh, and where [we will make] the altar for burning the offerings that the Israeli [people will bring].”
2 Omiyo Daudi nogolo chik mondo ochok jodak duto manie piny jo-Israel kendo koa kuomgi noyiero jangʼad kite mondo opa kite migerogo od Nyasaye.
So David commanded that the foreigners who lived in Israel must gather together. [When they did that, ] he appointed [some of those] men to [cut huge] stones [from the quarries] and to smooth their surfaces, to be used to build the temple of God.
3 Noiko nyinyo modhuro mondo olosgo musmande migedogo kendo mirwakogo dhoudi mag rangeye gi mula mathoth mokadho apima.
David provided a large amount of iron for making nails and hinges for the doors in the gates of the temple. He also provided so much bronze [for making the altar and various utensils], that no one could weigh it all.
4 Bende noiko yiend sida madongo ma ok kwan nikech jo-Sidon gi jo-Turo nokelone Daudi yiende mangʼeny mag sida.
He also provided [money for buying] a large amount of cedar logs. Because there was a huge number of them, no one was able to count them. Those were logs that men from Tyre and Sidon [cities] sent to David.
5 Daudi nowacho niya, “Wuoda Solomon pod rawera mayot kendo en gi ngʼeyo matin, to ot monego ogerne Jehova Nyasaye nyaka bed miwuoro kendo ma humbe gi berne onego onere e piny mangima. Omiyo nyaka aikne gige gedo.” Kuom mano, Daudi noiko gik moko mangʼeny kapok otho.
David [provided all those things because he] thought, “My son Solomon is still young and he does not know what he needs to know [about building], and the temple of Yahweh must be (magnificent/very beautiful). It must be a glorious building that will become famous, and people throughout the world must consider it to be glorious/splendid. So now I will begin to prepare for it to be built, [and Solomon will be responsible for building it].” So David collected a great amount of building materials before he died.
6 Bangʼe noluongo wuode Solomon mochike ni mondo oger ot ne Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach Israel.
[When] David [was old, he] summoned his son Solomon, and told him that he should arrange for a temple to be built for Yahweh, the God whom the Israelis [worshiped].
7 Daudi nowachone Solomon niya, “Wuoda naparo e chunya mondo ager ot miluongo gi Nying Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasacha.
He said to him, “I wanted [IDM] to build a temple to honor [MTY] Yahweh, my God.
8 To wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona kawacho ni, ‘Isechwero remo mangʼeny kendo isekedo lwenje mangʼeny. Ok iniger ot maluongo Nyinga nikech isechwero remo mangʼeny e nyima.
But Yahweh told [a prophet to tell] me, ‘You have killed many men [MTY] in the battles that you have fought. I have seen the blood of all the people whom you killed, so you will not be the one who will arrange for a temple to be built to honor me [MTY].
9 To ininywol wuowi manobed ngʼat mohero kwe maonge tungni, kendo anami obed gi kwe kuom jowasike molwore. Enochake ni Solomon, mi anakelni jo-Israel kwe e ndalo lochne.
But you will have a son [who will be king of Israel after you die]. He will be a man who is peaceful and quiet, [not a man who kills others]. And I will cause that there will be peace between him and his enemies who are in all the nearby lands. His name will be Solomon, [which sounds like the word for peace]. During the time that he is king, people in Israel will be peaceful and safe.
10 En ema noger ot miluongo gi Nyinga. Enobed wuoda, to anabed wuon mare kendo anagur loch mar pinyruodhe mar Israel nyaka chiengʼ.’
He is the one who will arrange for a temple to be built to honor me [MTY]. He will be [like] a son to me, and I will cause some of his descendants to rule [MTY] over Israel forever [HYP].’
11 “Koro wuoda, Jehova Nyasaye obed kodi, kendo mad ogwedhi mondo mi iger od Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasachi kaka nosewacho ni initim.
“So now, my son, I hope/wish that Yahweh will help you, and enable you to be successful in arranging for building the temple of Yahweh, your God, which is what he said that you would do.
12 Mad Jehova Nyasaye omiyi rieko kod ngʼeyo e kinde moketi mondo irit jo-Israel kendo mondo mi irit chik Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasachi.
I also hope/wish that he will enable you to be wise and to understand what you need to know, and enable you to obey his laws while you rule over Israel.
13 Bangʼe inine ber kimako chike kod buche ma Jehova Nyasaye nomiyo Musa ne jo-Israel. Bed motegno kendo gichir, kik iluor kata kik chunyi bed gi nyosruok.
If you carefully obey all the laws and regulations/commands that Yahweh gave to Moses to give to us Israeli people, you will be successful. So be steadfast/strong and courageous. Do not be afraid of anything, and do not become discouraged!
14 “Aseneno lit malich mondo aikne od Jehova Nyasaye dhahabu ma pekne romo tan alufu adek mia abiriyo gi piero abich kaachiel gi fedha ma pekne romo tan alufu piero adek gabiriyo gi mia abich kaachiel gi mula kod nyinyo ma pekgi okadho apima kod yiende gi kite. In bende inyalo medo moko.
“I have tried hard to provide [materials] for [building] the temple of Yahweh. I have provided nearly 4,000 tons of gold, and nearly 40,000 tons of silver. I have also provided a very large amount of iron and bronze; no one has been able to weigh it all. I have also gathered/provided lumber and stone [for the walls of the temple], but you may need to get some more of those things.
15 In gi jotich mangʼeny kaka jopa kite, jogedo gi jopa bao kaachiel gi ji molony e tije mopogore opogore,
There are many men [in Israel] who have good ability to cut big stones for making stone walls, and carpenters, and men who are very skilled at making various kinds of things.
16 mag dhahabu, kod fedha, mula kod nyinyo kaachiel gi jopecho mokadho akwana. Koro chak tich, mad Jehova Nyasaye obed kodi.”
There are many men who know how to make things from gold and silver and bronze and iron. So now [I say to you], begin the work [of building the temple], and I hope/wish that Yahweh will help/be with you.”
17 Bangʼe Daudi nochiko jotend Israel duto mondo okony wuode Solomon.
Then David commanded that all the Israeli leaders must assist Solomon. He said to them,
18 Nowachonegi niya, “To donge Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu ni kodu? To donge osemiyou kwe e alworau duto? Nimar osechiwo joma odak e pinyni e lweta ma pinyni koro nitie e bwo loch Jehova Nyasaye kaachiel gi joge.
“Yahweh our God is certainly with/helping you [RHQ]. He has allowed you to have peace with all the nearby nations [RHQ]. He has enabled my [army] to conquer [IDM] them, so now Yahweh and my people control them.
19 Omiyo koro keturu chunyu gi ngimau kuom dwaro Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu. Koro chakuru gero kama ler mar lemo mar Jehova Nyasaye mondo omi ukel Sandug Muma mar Singruok mar Jehova Nyasaye kod gigo mopwodhi mag Nyasaye ei hekalu mibiro gero ne Nying Jehova Nyasaye.”
Now you must obey Yahweh completely. Help Solomon to arrange for building the temple for Yahweh God, in order that you can bring the Sacred Chest that contains the Ten Commandments and the other sacred items that belong to God into the temple that you will build to honor Yahweh.”
