1 Weche Mag Ndalo 29
1 Eka Ruoth Daudi nowacho ni chokruok duto niya, “Solomon wuoda ma Nyasaye oseyiero pod en rawera man-gi lony matin. To tijni en tich maduongʼ nikech ot malichni ok en mar dhano to en mar Jehova Nyasaye.
Then King David said to all the people who had gathered there, “My son Solomon, the one whom God has chosen [to be the next king], is young and does not have much experience. This work [of building the temple] is great/important, because this glorious building will not be to [honor] people, but to honor Yahweh our God.
2 Kuom mwandu duto ma aseiko ne gero hekalu mar Nyasacha ma gin dhahabu kuom tije madwaro dhahabu, gi fedha kuom tije mag fedha, gi mula kuom tije mag mula, gi nyinyo kuom tije mag nyinyo, kaachiel gi yiende kuom tije mag yiende kod oniks milosogo ot, gi kite ma kitgi opogore opogore gi kite duto mabeyo kod kite mag ombo. Magi duto aseiko mangʼeny.
From all the things that I possess, I have provided [what will be needed] to [build] the temple of my God—the gold for the things to be made of gold, the silver for the things to be made of silver, bronze for the things to be made of bronze, iron for the things to be made of iron, wood for the things to be made of wood, and large amounts of onyx and turquoise and other valuable stones of various colors, and marble and all kinds of valuable stones.
3 Ewi mago duto ma asechiwo ne hekalu mar Nyasacha achako agolo mwanduna awuon mag dhahabu kod mag fedha ne hekalu mar Nyasacha. To bende asechiwo moloyo mago ne hekalu malerni gik machalo kaka:
In addition to all these things that I have given for the temple, I am giving treasures of gold and silver, because I very much desire that this holy temple for my God be built.
4 dhahabu moa Ofir ma pekne romo kilo alufu mia achiel, fedha mopwodhi ma pekne romo kilo alufu piero ariyo gangʼwen mondo obawgo kor udi,
I am giving 110 tons of gold from Ophir and 260 tons of refined silver to cover the walls of the buildings,
5 mago notigo tije madwaro dhahabu kod fedha kod tije duto ma jotich molony dwaro timo. To koro ere ngʼat moyie mondo ochiwre ne Jehova Nyasaye kawuono?”
for making the other items of gold and silver, and for the other work to be done by the craftsmen. So now, [I ask you], are there others willing to show [by contributing other gifts for the building of the temple] [EUP] that they have dedicated themselves to Yahweh?”
6 Eka jotend anywola gi jotelo mag dhout Israel, gi jotend migepe mag jolweny alufe to gi jotend migepe mag jolweny miche kaachiel gi jotelo mochungʼne tije ruoth nochiwore mamor.
Then the leaders of the families/clans, the leaders of the tribes of Israel, the commanders of 1,000 soldiers and the commanders of 100 soldiers, and the officials who supervised the work that the king wanted done, gave gifts (willingly/because they wanted to give them).
7 Negichiwore ne tich mar hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye ka gigolo dhahabu ma pekne romo kilo alufu mia achiel gi piero ochiko kod machielo ma pekne romo kilo piero aboro gangʼwen, gi fedha ma pekne romo kilo alufu mia adek gi piero abiriyo gabich kod mula ma pekne romo kilo alufu mia auchiel gi piero abiriyo gabich kaachiel gi nyinyo ma pekne romo kilo gana adek, alufu mia abiriyo gi piero abich.
For the work at the temple they gave 190 tons and (185 pounds/84 kg.) of gold, 375 tons of silver, 675 tons of bronze, and 3,750 tons of iron.
8 Bende joma ne ni kod kite ma nengogi tek nochiwogi e kar keno mar hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye ka jaritgi en Jehiel ja-Gershon.
And any people who owned valuable stones gave them to be put in the storeroom of the temple. Jehiel, a descendant of Gershon, was appointed to be in charge of them.
9 Ji duto ne mor gi ilo kuom chiwo mar jotendgi nikech negichiwo gi mor kendo gi chuny achiel ni Jehova Nyasaye. Ruoth Daudi bende nomor ahinya.
The people were happy to see that their leaders wanted to give those things, because [they knew that] their leaders were happy and enthusiastic to give those things to Yahweh. And King David also was very happy.
10 Daudi nopako Jehova Nyasaye e nyim riwruok mar ji duto kowacho niya, “Yaye Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach kwarwa Israel, duongʼ odogni ndalo duto, manyaka chiengʼ.
Then, while all the people there were listening, David prayed, saying, “We praise you, Yahweh, the God whom our ancestor Jacob worshiped. We will praise you forever!
11 Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, duongʼ kod teko, pak gi loch kod ber odogni, nimar gik moko duto manie polo gi piny gin magi. Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, pinyruoth en mari kendo omiyi duongʼ moloyo gik moko duto.
You alone are great and powerful; only you are truly glorious and majestic and wonderful. [And that is true] because everything in heaven and on the earth is yours. You are the king of all the people in this world; you are the ruler of everything.
12 Mwandu gi duongʼ aa kuomi; kendo in e jarit gik moko duto. E lweti nitiere teko gi nyalo mondo omi itingʼ ji malo kendo imigi teko.
Because you are very powerful [DOU], you are able to cause anyone to be great and strong.
13 Koro, Nyasachwa, wadwokoni erokamano, kendo wapako nyingi maduongʼ.
So now, our God, we thank you, and we praise you [MTY] for being very great.
14 “An to an ngʼa, kata joga to gin ngʼa gini, mamiyo nyaka wachiw gi chuny achiel ka ma? Gik moko duto aa kuomi, kendo wasemiyi mana gima oa e lweti
But my people and I are not really able to give anything to you, because everything [that we have] comes from you, and what we have given to you are only the things that we have received from you [MTY].
15 Wan jodak kendo joma welo e nyim wangʼi, mana kaka kwerewa nobet. Ndalowa e piny ka chalo gi tipo, kendo waonge geno.
[In this land] we are like [MET] foreigners and strangers, like our ancestors were. Our time here on this earth is like [SIM] a shadow [that disappears quickly]; [we know that there is] nothing [that] can enable us [to escape dying].
16 Yaye Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa, kuom gigi duto ma wasechiwo ne geroni hekalu ne Nyingi Maler, oa e lweti, kendo giduto gin magi.
Yahweh our God, we have gathered all these things to use in building your [MTY] temple, but all of it really belongs to you, and you have given it to us [MTY].
17 Angʼeyo, Nyasacha, ni inono chuny ji kendo imor gi ngʼama timbene beyo. Asechiwo gigi duto gimor kod chuny makare. To bende aseneno kuom mor ma jogi man ka osechiworenigo.
My God, I know that you test us people, and you are pleased if you find out that we do what is right. All these things I have given to you because I wanted to. And now I have seen that your people have also joyfully and generously given things to you.
18 Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach kwerewa Ibrahim, Isaka kod Israel, mad herani osiki ei chuny jogi ndalo duto kendo imi chunygi osik kuomi.
Yahweh, the God whom our ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob worshiped, I desire/hope that your people will continue to desire [to do things like this] forever, and that they will always be loyal to you.
19 Kony Solomon wuoda osik kogeno kuomi gi chunye duto mondo orit chikeni gi dwaroni kod gima iwacho kendo mondo otim gik moko duto kaluwore gi chenro mar gedo malichni ma asechiworane.”
And now, please enable my son Solomon to faithfully and sincerely [DOU] obey your commands and laws and decrees [DOU] and to do everything that is needed to build this beautiful building for which I have provided [all these things].”
20 Bangʼe Daudi nowachone chokruok duto niya, “Pakuru Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasachu.” Omiyo giduto negipako Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach kweregi, negikulore piny auma kendo ginindo piny e nyim Jehova Nyasaye kendo e nyim ruoth Daudi.
Then David said to all the people who were gathered there, “Praise Yahweh our God!” So they all praised Yahweh the God whom their ancestors ([also worshiped/belonged to]). They prostrated themselves on the ground in front of Yahweh and in front of the king.
21 Kinyne negitimone Jehova Nyasaye misango kendo negichiwone misengini miwangʼo pep mag rwedhi alufu achiel gi imbe alufu achiel to gi nyiimbe alufu achiel kaachiel gi misango miolo piny to gi misengini mamoko mangʼeny ne jo-Israel duto.
The next day the people offered sacrifices to Yahweh. They presented many animals to be completely burned [on the altar]: 1,000 bulls, 1,000 rams, 1,000 male sheep, plus offerings of wine, and many other sacrifices on behalf of all [the people of] Israel.
22 Negichiemo kendo metho gimor maduongʼ odiechiengno e nyim Jehova Nyasaye. Bangʼe negichako giketo Solomon wuod Daudi kaka ruoth, kendo ne giwire gi mo e nyim Jehova Nyasaye mondo obed ruoth, to Zadok, to nowir kaka jadolo.
On that day the people were joyful and ate and drank while Yahweh was watching. Then for the second time they declared that Solomon was now the king. While Yahweh was watching, they anointed him [with olive oil] to be the king, and they anointed Zadok to be the Supreme Priest.
23 Omiyo Solomon nobedo e kom loch Jehova Nyasaye kaka ruoth kar Daudi wuon mare. Ne en gi gweth kendo jo-Israel nomiye luor.
So Solomon sat on the throne [because Yahweh wanted him to be] the king to succeed his father David. [During the following years] Solomon prospered, and all the Israeli people obeyed him.
24 Jotelo kod thuondi madongo kaachiel gi yawuot Ruoth Daudi nochiwore moyie bedo e bwo loch Ruoth Solomon.
King David’s other sons and all the officers and mighty warriors accepted Solomon as their king, and they solemnly promised to obey him.
25 Jehova Nyasaye notingʼo Solomon malo e nyim jo-Israel kendo nomiye duongʼ moloyo ruodhi duto mane osebedo e Israel motelone.
Yahweh caused Solomon to be highly respected by all the Israeli people, and they honored him very much. No king of Israel was honored as much as Solomon was.
26 Daudi wuod Jesse ne ruoth mar jo-Israel duto.
Jesse’s son David was the king who ruled all of Israel.
27 Nobedo ruodh Israel duto higni piero angʼwen, higni abiriyo ne en Hebron, to higni piero adek gadek ne en Jerusalem.
He ruled for 40 years: Seven years in Hebron [city] and 33 years in Jerusalem.
28 Nodak e ngima maber ka en-gi mwandu kod duongʼ, bangʼe notho ka hike noniangʼ moloyo. Wuode ma Solomon nobedo ruoth kare.
He became an old man who was very rich and greatly honored by all the people. Then he died, and his son Solomon became the king [of Israel].
29 Kaluwore gi gik moko mane Daudi otimo chakre kinde mane en ruoth nyaka giko; ondikgi e kitepe mag jonabi Samuel, Nathan kod Gad,
A record of all the things that King David did while he ruled, from the beginning to the end, was put on scrolls written by the prophets Samuel, Nathan, and Gad.
30 kaachiel gi weche mamoko mag lochne kod teko, to gi gik moko mane olwore gi jo-Israel kod loch jopinje mamoko.
They told about his powerful rule [HEN], and all the things that happened to him and to the people of Israel and in the nearby kingdoms [while he was ruling Israel].
