1 Weche Mag Ndalo 28
1 Daudi noluongo jotend Israel duto mondo ochokre Jerusalem. Noluongo jotend dhoudi gi jotend migepe mag jotich ruoth, jotelo morito migepe mag jolweny alufe gi migepe mag jolweny miche, to gi jotelo morito mwandu duto kod jamni mag ruoth gi mag yawuote kaachiel gi jotelo matiyo e dala ruoth, joma roteke to gi jolweny mathuondi.
David summoned all the leaders of Israel to come to Jerusalem. He summoned the leaders of the tribes, the leaders/commanders of the groups that worked for the king, the commanders of 100 soldiers, the commanders of 1,000 soldiers, those who were in charge of the property and livestock that belonged to the king and his sons, all the palace officials, and his mighty soldiers and bravest warriors.
2 Eka Ruoth Daudi nochungo kar tiende mowacho niya, “Winjauru jowetena kendo jothurwa. Ne achano e chunya mondo ager ot kaka kar yweyo mar Sandug Singruok mar Jehova Nyasaye mondo obed raten mar tiend Nyasachwa kendo ne an gi chenro mar gere.
David stood up and said, “My fellow Israelis, listen to me. I wanted [IDM] to build a temple to be a place where we would put the Sacred Chest of Yahweh, where it would stay permanently. And I made plans to build it.
3 To Nyasaye nowachona ni, ‘Ok iniger ot miluonge Nyinga nikech in jalweny kendo isechwero remo.’
But God said to me, ‘You are not the one who will [arrange to] build a temple for me [MTY], because you are a warrior and you have killed many people [MTY] [in battles].’
4 “Kata kamano Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach Israel noyiera kuom anywolana mondo abed ruodh Israel manyaka chiengʼ. Noyiero Juda jatelo, to koa e dhood Juda noyiero anywolana, to kuom yawuot wuora duto, notimo ngʼwono mondo oketa ruodh Israel duto.
“But Yahweh, the God to whom we Israelis belong, had chosen me and my descendants to be the kings of Israel forever. [First] he chose the tribe of Judah, and from the people [MTY] of Judah he chose my family, and from my father’s sons he chose me to be the king over all of Israel.
5 To kuom yawuota duto ma bende Jehova Nyasaye osemiya mangʼeny, noyiero wuoda Solomon mondo obedi e kom loch mar pinyruodh Jehova Nyasaye e Israel.
Yahweh has given me many sons, but from them he chose my son Solomon to be the next king to rule [MTY] the kingdom of Israel.
6 Nowachona niya, Wuodi Solomon e ngʼat manogerna ot gi laru mare nikech aseyiere mondo odok wuoda kendo anabed wuon-gi.
He said to me, ‘Solomon your son is the one who will [arrange to] build my temple and the courtyards around it, because I have chosen him to be [like] my son and I will be [like] [MET] his father.
7 Ka orito chikena gi buchena ma ok obaro mana kaka iritogi sani, to anagur lochne nyaka chiengʼ.
I will enable his kingdom to endure forever if he continues to obey my laws and commands, like you are doing now.’
8 “Omiyo achikou e nyim Israel duto kendo e nyim chokruok mar Jehova Nyasaye kendo ka Nyasachwa wacho kama: Beduru motangʼ mondo ulu chike duto mag Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu mondo omi piny maberni osik maru kendo uchiwe kaka girkeni ne nyikwau nyaka chiengʼ.
“So now, while all [you people of] Israel, all of you who belong to Yahweh, are watching, and while God is listening, I command you [leaders] to carefully obey all the commands of Yahweh our God, in order that you may continue to possess this good land and enable your descendants to inherit it forever.
9 “To in wuoda Solomon, par Nyasach wuonu kendo ichiwri mondo itine gi chunyi duto kendo imiye paroni duto nikech Jehova Nyasaye nono chuny ji duto kendo ongʼeyo paro duto mopondo. Kidware, to iniyude, to kiweye, to enojwangʼi nyaka chiengʼ.
“And you, my son Solomon, must know God like I know him, and you must serve him faithfully and because you want to. You must do that because he knows what everyone is thinking and he understands the reasons that people do what they do. If you seek [to know] him, he will heed your prayers. But if you abandon/reject him, he will abandon/reject you forever.
10 Emomiyo par malongʼo nikech Jehova Nyasaye oseyieri mondo igerne ot kaka kama ler mar lemo. Bed motegno kendo itim tich.”
Yahweh has chosen you to [arrange to] build a temple for him. So think about [what I have said], and be strong and do what [he is wanting you to do].”
11 Bangʼe Daudi nonyiso wuode Solomon kit gedo mar agoch hekalu, kaka onego gere, kuondege mag keno, utege mamalo, agolnige maiye kod kar timo misango.
Then David gave to his son Solomon [the scroll on which were written] the plans for the main rooms of the temple, its porch, its storerooms, all the other upper and lower rooms, and the Very Holy Place where God would forgive the sins that people had committed.
12 Ne omiye kit gedo duto mag laru mar hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye to gi udi molwore kod mago mag keno mar hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye kendo kuonde keno mag gik mopwodhi mana kaka Roho mar Nyasaye noketo e pache.
David wrote for him the plans that God’s Spirit had put into his mind for building the courtyards and all the rooms that surrounded the temple, including the room where the money and other valuable things that were dedicated to God would be kept.
13 Bende nomiye chike mag migepe mag jodolo kod jo-Lawi to gi tije duto mag hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye kaachiel gi gik moko duto mitiyogo e iye.
He gave Solomon instructions for the groups of priests and other descendants of Levi, about all the work that they must do to serve in Yahweh’s temple, and about taking care of all the things that would be used in the work at the temple.
14 Bende nonyise pek mar dhahabu molosgo gige dhahabu monego tigo e tije mopogore opogore, to gi pek mar fedha molosgo gige fedha monego tigo tije mopogore opogore kaka:
He wrote down how much gold and how much silver should be used to make all the items in the temple:
15 pek mar rachungi mag teyni kod techegi molos gi dhahabu, kaachiel gi pek mar rachungi mar taya ka taya gi techene, pek fedha mar rachungi mar taya ka taya gi techene molos kod fedha mana kaka moro ka moro owinjore gi tije;
how much gold for making the gold lampstands and the lamps, how much silver to make the silver lamps and lampstands,
16 pek mar dhahabu mar mesa ka mesa miketoe makati mopwodhi kaachiel gi pek mar fedha mag mesni molos gi fedha;
how much gold for making the table on which [the priests would put] the sacred bread, how much silver to use to make the other tables,
17 pek mar dhahabu maler milosogo uma, bakunde mag kiro pi kod njage; pek mar dhahabu mar tawo ka tawo molos gi dhahabu kod pek mar fedha mar tawo ka tawo molos gi fedha;
how much pure gold for the meat forks and the bowls and the cups, how much gold for each gold dish, how much silver for each silver dish,
18 kod pek dhahabu mopwodhi molosgo kendo mar misango miwangʼoe ubani. Bende nonyise kaka onego olos gach lweny, ma en kerubi molos gi dhahabu moyaro bwombegi kendo oumo Sandug Singruok mar Jehova Nyasaye.
and how much pure gold to make the altar for [burning] incense. He also gave to Solomon his plans for making the golden statues of winged creatures that would be above the Sacred Chest of Yahweh, [like] a chariot for him.
19 Daudi nowacho niya, “Magi duto manie ndiko ne ayudo kuom lwet Jehova Nyasaye mane ni kuoma, kendo nomiya winjo matut kuom chenro mar gedo.”
Then David said, “I have written [all these plans] while Yahweh was directing [MTY] me. He has enabled me to understand all the details of his plan [for the temple that is to be built].”
20 Bangʼe Daudi nowachone Solomon niya, “Bed motegno kendo gichir kendo tim tijni. Kik ibed maluor kendo kik chunyi nyosre nikech Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasacha nobed kodi. Ok enojwangʼi bende ok noweyi nyaka itiek tije mag hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye.”
David also said to his son Solomon, “Be strong and courageous, and do this work. Do not be afraid or discouraged, because Yahweh our God will be with/helping you. He will not fail [to help] you or abandon you until you finish all the work of making his temple.
21 Migepe mag jodolo kod jo-Lawi oseikore ne tije duto mag hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye, kendo joma ochiwore molony e tije mopogore opogore oikore konyi e tije duto. Jotelo kod ji duto nowinj weche duto miwacho.
The groups of priests and [other] descendants of Levi are ready to begin their work at the temple, and every man who has a special skill will help you in all the work. And my officials and the other people will obey you, whatever you command them to do.”
