1 Chronicles 28
1 Now David summoned all the leaders of Israel to Jerusalem: the leaders of the tribes, the leaders of the divisions in the king’s service, the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, and the officials in charge of all the property and cattle of the king and his sons, along with the court officials and mighty men—every mighty man of valor.
Dawudi n’akuŋŋaanya abakungu bonna aba Isirayiri e Yerusaalemi ng’omwo mwe muli abakulu b’ebika, n’abakulu b’ebitongole abaaweerezanga kabaka, n’abaduumizi ab’olukumi, n’abaduumizi ab’ekikumi, n’abakungu abaavunaanyizibwanga eby’obugagga n’amagana ebyali ebya kabaka ne batabani be, n’abakungu ab’omu lubiri, n’abasajja ab’amaanyi era n’abasajja bonna abazira.
2 Then King David rose to his feet and said, “Listen to me, my brothers and my people. It was in my heart to build a house as a resting place for the ark of the covenant of the LORD and as a footstool for our God. I had made preparations to build it,
Awo kabaka Dawudi n’ayimirira n’ayogera nti, “Mumpulirize baganda bange era abantu bange. Nnali nteseeteese mu mutima gwange okuzimbira essanduuko ey’endagaano ya Mukama n’entebe ey’ebigere bya Katonda, ennyumba, era nga nentegeka eyaayo ewedde okukolebwa.
3 but God said to me, ‘You are not to build a house for My Name, because you are a man of war who has spilled blood.’
Naye Katonda n’aŋŋamba nti, ‘Tolinzimbira linnya lyange nnyumba, kubanga oli mutabaazi wa ntalo era wayiwa omusaayi.’
4 Yet the LORD, the God of Israel, chose me out of all my father’s house to be king over Israel forever. For He chose Judah as leader, and from the house of Judah He chose my father’s household, and from my father’s sons He was pleased to make me king over all Israel.
“Naye ate Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri yannonda mu nnyumba ya kitange yonna okuba kabaka wa Isirayiri emirembe gyonna. Yalonda Yuda okuba omukulembeze, ne mu nnyumba ya Yuda n’alondamu ennyumba ya kitange, ne mu batabani ba kitange n’asiima okunfuula kabaka wa Isirayiri yenna.
5 And of all my sons—for the LORD has given me many sons—He has chosen Solomon my son to sit on the throne of the kingdom of the LORD over Israel.
Mu batabani bange bonna, kubanga Mukama ampadde bangi, Sulemaani mutabani wange gw’alonze okutuula ku ntebe ey’obwakabaka bwa Mukama mu Isirayiri.
6 And He said to me, ‘Solomon your son is the one who will build My house and My courts, for I have chosen him as My son, and I will be his Father.
Yaŋŋamba nti, ‘Sulemaani mutabani wo y’alizimba ennyumba yange n’empya zange, kubanga mmulonze okuba omwana wange, era nange n’abeeranga kitaawe.
7 I will establish his kingdom forever, if he resolutely carries out My commandments and ordinances, as is being done this day.’
Ndinyweza obwakabaka bwe emirembe gyonna, bwatalirekayo okugondera ebiragiro byange n’amateeka gange nga bwe bigobelerwa mu nnaku zino.’
8 So now in the sight of all Israel, the assembly of the LORD, and in the hearing of our God, keep and seek out all the commandments of the LORD your God, so that you may possess this good land and leave it as an inheritance to your descendants forever.
“Kaakano nkukuutira mu lujjudde lwonna olwa Isirayiri, ekuŋŋaaniro lya Mukama, ne Katonda waffe ng’awulira, nti weekuume okugondera ebiragiro ebya Mukama Katonda wo, olyoke olye ensi eno ennungi era (n’abazzukulu) n’abaana ab’obusika bwo bagisikirenga emirembe gyonna.
9 As for you, Solomon my son, know the God of your father and serve Him wholeheartedly and with a willing mind, for the LORD searches every heart and understands the intent of every thought. If you seek Him, He will be found by you; but if you forsake Him, He will reject you forever.
“Era Sulemaani mutabani wange tegeera Katonda wa kitaawo, omuweerezenga n’omutima gumu n’emmeeme yo yonna, kubanga Mukama akebera emitima, era ategeera okufumiitiriza okw’ebirowoozo. Bw’onoomunoonyanga, onoomulabanga, naye bw’onoomulekanga, anaakuvangako emirembe gyonna.
10 Consider now that the LORD has chosen you to build a house for the sanctuary. Be strong and do it.”
Kaakano weekuume, kubanga Mukama akulonze okuzimba ennyumba ey’okusinzizangamu. Ba n’amaanyi, okole omulimu.”
11 Then David gave his son Solomon the plans for the portico of the temple, its buildings, storehouses, upper rooms, inner rooms, and the room for the mercy seat.
Awo Dawudi n’akwasa Sulemaani mutabani we ekyokulabirako eky’ekisasi kya yeekaalu, n’ebizimbe byabyo, n’amawanika gaayo, n’ebisenge ebya waggulu, n’ebisenge eby’omunda, n’ekifo eky’entebe ey’okusaasira.
12 The plans contained everything David had in mind for the courts of the house of the LORD, for all the surrounding rooms, for the treasuries of the house of God and of the dedicated things,
Yamuwa n’enteekateeka ya buli kintu nga eky’empya za yeekaalu ya Mukama, n’ebisenge, ebyali bigiriranye, n’amawanika ga yeekaalu ya Mukama, n’ebintu byonna ebyawongebwa, ng’Omwoyo bwe yali agitadde ku mutima gwe.
13 for the divisions of the priests and Levites, for all the work of service in the house of the LORD, and for all the articles of service in the house of the LORD:
Yamuwa n’ebiragiro eby’okugobereranga ku bibinja bya bakabona, n’Abaleevi, n’olw’omulimu gwonna ogw’okuweerezanga mu yeekaalu ya Mukama, n’olw’ebintu byonna ebyakozesebwanga mu kuweereza mu nnyumba ya Mukama.
14 the weight of all the gold articles for every kind of service; the weight of all the silver articles for every kind of service;
Yawaayo ebipimo ebya zaabu olw’ebintu byonna ebya zaabu ebyasabwanga buli mulundi, n’ebipimo ebya ffeeza olw’ebintu byonna ebya ffeeza ebyakozesebwanga buli mulundi;
15 the weight of the gold lampstands and their lamps, including the weight of each lampstand and its lamps; the weight of each silver lampstand and its lamps, according to the use of each lampstand;
n’ebipimo eby’ettabaaza eza zaabu, n’ettabaaza zaakwo, n’ebipimo ebya zaabu ebya buli kikondo n’ettabaaza yaakyo, n’ebipimo ebya buli kikondo ekya ffeeza n’ettabaaza yaakyo;
16 the weight of gold for each table of showbread, and of silver for the silver tables;
n’ebipimo ebya zaabu eby’emmeeza ez’emigaati emitukuze egy’okulaga, n’ebipimo ebya ffeeza eby’emmeeza eza ffeeza;
17 the weight of the pure gold for the forks, sprinkling bowls, and pitchers; the weight of each gold dish; the weight of each silver bowl;
n’ebipimo ebya zaabu ennongoose eya wuuma, n’ebbakuli ezimasamasa, n’ekikopo, n’ebipimo ebya zaabu eby’ebbakuli eza zaabu, n’ebipimo ebya ffeeza eby’ebbakuli eza ffeeza;
18 the weight of the refined gold for the altar of incense; and the plans for the chariot of the gold cherubim that spread their wings and overshadowed the ark of the covenant of the LORD.
n’ebipimo ebya zaabu ennongoose ey’ekyoto eky’obubaane. N’amuwa n’enteekateeka ey’eggaali, be bakerubi aba zaabu abanjala ebiwaawaatiro byabwe ne babikka ku ssanduuko ey’endagaano ya Mukama.
19 “All this,” said David, “all the details of this plan, the LORD has made clear to me in writing by His hand upon me.”
Awo Dawudi n’ayogera nti, “Ebyo byonna biri mu buwandiike, kubanga omukono gwa Mukama gwali wamu nange, era yampa okukitegeerera ddala.”
20 David also said to Solomon his son, “Be strong and courageous, and do it. Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD God, my God, is with you. He will neither fail you nor forsake you before all the work for the service of the house of the LORD is finished.
Dawudi n’ayongera n’agamba Sulemaani mutabani we nti, “Ba n’amaanyi era guma omwoyo, okole omulimu. Totya so totekemuka wadde okuggwamu omwoyo, kubanga Mukama Katonda, Katonda wange ali wamu naawe. Taakwabulirenga so taakulekenga okutuusa omulimu gwonna ogw’okuweereza ogwa yeekaalu ye Mukama nga guwedde.
21 The divisions of the priests and Levites are ready for all the service of the house of God, and every willing man of every skill will be at your disposal for the work. The officials and all the people are fully at your command.”
Era, laba, ebibiina bya bakabona n’Abaleevi beeteefuteefu okukola omulimu ku yeekaalu ya Katonda, na buli musajja omumanyirivu mu kuweesa okw’engeri zonna anaakuyamba mu mulimu gwonna. Era n’abakungu wamu n’abantu bonna banaagonderanga buli kiragiro kyo.”
