< Chronicles I 22 >

1 And David said, This is the house of the Lord God, and this [is] the altar for whole burnt offering for Israel.
Mgbe ahụ, Devid sịrị, “Ebe a ka a ga-ewuru Onyenwe anyị Chineke ụlọ, nakwa ebe ịchụ aja nke aja nsure ọkụ nye Izrel.”
2 And David gave orders to gather all the strangers that were in the land of Israel; and he appointed stone-hewers to hew polished stones to build the house to God.
Ya mere, Devid nyere iwu ka a kpọkọta ndị ọbịa niile bi nʼIzrel, site nʼetiti ha ọ họpụtara ndị ga-edozi nkume a wara awa nke e ji wuo ụlọ Chineke.
3 And David prepared much iron for the nails of the doors and the gate; the hinges also and brass in abundance, there was no weighing [of it].
Devid wetara ọtụtụ igwe dị ukwuu, nke ha ji akpụta ǹtu maka ibo ọnụ ụzọ ama niile, na nke ịkpụ ihe njikọta niile. O wetakwara bronz a na-apụghị ịkọwa ịdị arọ ya.
4 And cedar threes without number: for the Sidonians and the Tyrians brought cedar trees in abundance to David.
O webatakwara osisi sida nʼapụghị ịgụta ọnụọgụgụ ha, nʼihi na ndị Taịa na Saịdọn butere ha nʼọnụọgụgụ riri nne nye Devid.
5 And David said, My son Solomon [is] a tender child, and the house [for me] to build to the Lord [is] for superior magnificence for a name and for a glory through all the earth: I will make preparation for it. And David prepared abundantly before his death.
Mgbe ahụ, Devid kwuru, “Solomọn nwa m bụ nwantakịrị, onye na-amachabeghị ihe. Ma ụlọnsọ a ga-ewuru Onyenwe anyị ga-abụ ụlọ dị ukwuu, nke ga-enwe aha a ma ama, na nke mara ezi mma nʼanya mba niile dị nʼụwa. Nʼihi ya, aga m akpakọba ihe niile e ji ewu ya.” Ya mere, tupu Devid anwụọ, ọ kwakọtara ngwongwo riri nne.
6 And he called Solomon his son, and commanded him to build the house for the Lord God of Israel.
Ọ kpọrọ Solomọn, bụ nwa ya, nye ya iwu iwuru Onyenwe anyị, bụ Chineke nke Izrel ụlọ.
7 And David said to Solomon, [My] child, it was in my heart to build a house to the name of the Lord God.
Devid gwara Solomọn sị, “Nwa m, ọ dị m nʼobi iwu ụlọ maka aha Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke m,
8 But the word of the Lord came to me, saying, You have shed blood abundantly, and have carried on great wars: you shall not build a house to my name, because you have shed much blood upon the earth before me.
ma okwu Onyenwe anyị ndị a ruru m ntị sị m, ‘Ị wụsịala ọtụtụ ọbara, bukwaa ọtụtụ agha. Ị gaghị ewu ụlọ nye Aha m, nʼihi na ị wụsịala ọtụtụ ọbara nʼelu ala nʼihu m.
9 Behold, a son shall be born to you, he shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies round about: for his name [shall be] Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness to Israel in his days.
Ma ị ga-amụta otu nwa nwoke onye ga-abụ mmadụ udo, na onye ga-enwe izuike nʼoge ya. Aga m enye ya izuike site nʼaka ndị iro ya nʼakụkụ niile. Aha ya ga-abụ Solomọn. Aga m enye Izrel udo na ahụ dị jụụ nʼoge ọchịchị ya.
10 He shall build a house to my name; and he shall be a son to me, and I will be a father to him; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom in Israel for ever.
Ya onwe ya ga-ewuru m ụlọ ahụ. Ọ ga-abụrụ m nwa, mụ onwe m ga-abụkwara ya nna. Aga m emekwa ka ocheeze alaeze ya nʼIzrel guzosie ike ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.’
11 And now, my son, the Lord shall be with you, and prosper [you]; and you shall build a house to the Lord your God, as he spoke concerning you.
“Ya mere, ugbu a nwa m, ka Onyenwe anyị nọnyere gị mgbe ị ga-ewu ụlọ Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị, dịka o kwuru na ị ga-eme.
12 Only may the Lord give you wisdom and prudence, and strengthen you over Israel, both to keep and to do the law of the Lord your God.
Onyenwe anyị nyekwa gị amamihe na nghọta nke ị ga-eji chịa ezi ọchịchị mgbe ị ghọrọ eze Izrel, ka i si otu a debe iwu Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị.
13 Then will he prosper [you], if you take heed to do the commandments and judgements which the Lord commanded Moses for Israel: be courageous and strong; fear not, nor be terrified.
Mgbe ahụ, ị ga-enwe ọganihu, ma ọ bụrụ na i lezie anya idebe iwu na ụkpụrụ niile nke Onyenwe anyị nyere Mosis maka Izrel. Dị ike, nwee obi ike. Atụla ụjọ, maọbụ daa mba.
14 And, behold, I according to my poverty have prepared for the house of the Lord a hundred thousand talents of gold, and a million talents of silver, and brass and iron without measure; for it is abundant; and I have prepared timber and stones; and do you add to these.
“Ejisiela m ike chịkọtaa ihe maka ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị, narị puku talenti ọlaedo na nde talenti ọlaọcha, na igwe, na bronz, nke a na-apụghị ịgụta ịdị arọ ha, na osisi, na nkume. I nwere ike itinyekwa ihe ndị ọzọ nʼime ha.
15 And [of them that are] with you do you add to the multitude of workmen; [let there be] artificers and masons, and carpenters, and every skilful [workman] in every work;
Lee, i nwekwara ọtụtụ ndị ọrụ ndị na-awa nkume, na ndị na-edo nkume, na ndị ọka osisi, na ndị a maara aha ha nʼihe gbasara ǹka nʼọrụ dị iche iche,
16 in gold and silver, brass and iron, [of which] there is no number. Arise and do, and the Lord [be] with you.
ọlaedo, na ọlaọcha, na bronz, na igwe, ndị ọrụ nʼenweghị ọnụọgụgụ. Onyenwe anyị aghaghị ịnọnyere gị. Bilie, rụọ ọrụ dịịrị gị.”
17 And David charged all the chief men of Israel to help Solomon his son, [saying],
Devid nyere ndịisi Izrel iwu ka ha nyere nwa ya Solomọn aka, mgbe ọ ga-ewu ụlọ ahụ.
18 [Is] not the Lord with you? and he has given you rest round about, for he has given into your hands the inhabitants of the land; and the land is subdued before the Lord, and before his people.
Ọ gwara ha okwu sị, “Ọ bụ na Onyenwe anyị Chineke anọnyereghị unu? Ọ bụ na o nyebeghị unu udo nʼakụkụ niile? Nʼihi na o nyela m mmeri nʼebe ndị iro m nọ. Ugbu a, ala a dịkwa nʼaka Onyenwe anyị na nʼaka ndị ya.
19 Now set your hearts and souls to seek after the Lord your God: and rise, and build a sanctuary to your God to carry in the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and the holy vessels of God, into the house that is to be built to the name of the Lord.
Ya mere, tinyenụ obi unu na mmụọ unu nʼịgbaso Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu. Malitekwanụ iwu ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị Chineke, ka unu nweekwa ike ibubata igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị, na ihe nsọ ndị ọzọ nʼime ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ a ga-ewu nʼihi Aha Onyenwe anyị.”
