1 Chronicles 22
1 Then David said: This is the house of God, and this is the altar for the holocaust of Israel.
Ipapo Dhavhidhi akati, “Imba yaJehovha Mwari inofanira kuva pano, pamwe chete nearitari yezvipiriso zvinopisirwa Israeri.”
2 And he commanded to gather together all the proselytes of the land of Israel, and out of them he appointed stonecutters to hew stones and polish them, to build the house of God.
Saka Dhavhidhi akarayira kuti vatorwa vose vaigara muIsraeri vaungane pamwe chete, uye kubva mukati mavo akasarudza vavezi vamatombo kuti vagadzire matombo akavezwa zvakanaka okuvakisa imba yaMwari.
3 And David prepared in abundance iron for the nails of the gates, and for the closures and joinings: and of brass an immense weight.
Akapa simbi dzakawanda kwazvo kuti dzigoshandiswa kugadzirisa zvipikiri zvamakonhi apamasuo nezvikorekedzo uye ndarira yakawanda kupfuura yaigona kuiswa pachikero.
4 And the cedar trees were without number, which the Sidonians, and Tyrians brought to David.
Akapawo zvakare matanda emisidhari akawanda kupfuura aigona kuverengwa, nokuti vaSidhoni nevaTire vakanga vavigira Dhavhidhi matanda akawanda.
5 And David said: Solomon my son is very young and tender, and the house which I would have to be built to the Lord, must be such as to be renowned in all countries: therefore I will prepare him necessaries. And therefore before his death he prepared all the charges.
Dhavhidhi akati, “Mwanakomana wangu Soromoni mudiki kwazvo uye haasati ava noruzivo, uye imba ichavakirwa Jehovha inofanira kuva huru kwazvo, inorumbidzwa uye inokudzwa kwazvo pamberi pendudzi dzose. Saka ndichaigadzirira.” Saka Dhavhidhi akagadzirira zvikuru kwazvo asati afa.
6 And he called for Solomon his son: and commanded him to build a house to the Lord the God of Israel.
Ipapo akadana mwanakomana wake Soromoni akamurayira kuti avake imba yaJehovha, Mwari weIsraeri.
7 And David said to Solomon: My son, it was my desire to have built a house to the name of the Lord my God.
Dhavhidhi akati kuna Soromoni, “Mwanakomana wangu zvaiva mumwoyo mangu kuti ndivakire Zita raJehovha Mwari wangu imba.
8 But the word of the Lord came to me, saying: Thou hast shed much blood, and fought many battles, so thou canst not build a house to my name, after shedding so much blood before me:
Asi shoko iri raJehovha rakauya kwandiri richiti, ‘Wakadeura ropa zhinji uye ukarwa hondo dzakawanda. Iwe haungavakiri Zita rangu imba, nokuti wakadeura ropa rakawanda kwazvo pamberi pouso hwangu.
9 The son, that shall be born to thee, shall be a most quiet man: for I will make him rest from all his enemies round about: and therefore he shall be called Peaceable: and I will give peace and quietness to Israel all his days.
Asi uchava nomwanakomana achava murume worugare nokuzorora, uye ndichamupa zororo kubva kuvavengi vake kumativi ose. Zita rake achanzi Soromoni uye ndichapa Israeri runyararo norugare panguva yokutonga kwake.
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 over Israel for ever.
Iyeye ndiye achavakira Zita rangu imba. Achava mwanakomana wangu uye ini ndichava baba vake. Uye ndichasimbisa chigaro choumambo hwake pamusoro peIsraeri nokusingaperi.’
11 Now then, my son, the Lord be with thee, and do thou prosper, and build the house to the Lord thy God, as he hath spoken of thee.
“Zvino mwanakomana wangu, Jehovha ave newe, uye uve nokubudirira uye uvake imba yaJehovha Mwari wako sezvaakati uchaita.
12 The Lord also give thee wisdom and understanding, that thou mayest be able to rule Israel, and to keep the law of the Lord thy God.
Jehovha ngaakupe uchenjeri nokunzwisisa paachakuisa pakutonga pamusoro peIsraeri, kuitira kuti uchengete murayiro waJehovha Mwari wako.
13 For then thou shalt be able to prosper, if thou keep the commandments, and judgments, which the Lord commanded Moses to teach Israel: take courage and act manfully, fear not, nor be dismayed.
Ipapo uchava nokubudirira kana ukachenjerera kuchengetedza mitemo nemirayiro yakapiwa Mozisi naJehovha kuti ape Israeri. Iva nesimba utsunge mwoyo. Usatya uye usaora mwoyo.
14 Behold I in my poverty have prepared the charges of the house of the Lord, of gold a hundred thousand talents, and of silver a million of talents: but of brass, and of iron there is no weight, for the abundance surpasseth all account: timber also and stones I have prepared for all the charges.
“Ndakatambura zvikuru kwazvo kuti ndipe kutemberi yaJehovha matarenda zviuru zana zvegoridhe, matarenda miriyoni esirivha, ndarira nesimbi yakawanda zvokuti haingayerwe pachikero, namatanda namatombo. Uye unogona kuwedzera pamusoro pazvo.
15 Thou hast also workmen in abundance, hewers of stones, and masons, and carpenters, and of all trades the most skillful in their work,
Une varume vebasa vazhinji kwazvo: vavezi vamatombo, vavezi vamatanda navamwe varume vane unyanzvi mumabasa ose akasiyana-siyana
16 In gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in iron, whereof there is no number. Arise then, and be doing, and the Lord will be with thee.
mune zvegoridhe nesirivha, ndarira nesimbi navarume voumhizha vasingaverengeki. Zvino chitanga basa uye Jehovha ave newe.”
17 David also charged all the princes of Israel, to help Solomon his son,
Ipapo Dhavhidhi akarayira vatungamiri vose veIsraeri kuti vabatsire mwanakomana wake Soromoni.
18 Saying: You see, that the Lord your God is with you, and hath given you rest round about, and hath delivered all your enemies into your hands, and the land is subdued before the Lord, and before his people.
Akati kwavari, “Ko, Jehovha Mwari wenyu haasi nemi here? Uye haana kukupai zororo kumativi ose here? Nokuti akaisa vagari venyika iyi muruoko rwangu, uye nyika iri pasi paJehovha nepasi pavanhu vake.
19 Give therefore your hearts and your souls, to seek the Lord your God: and arise, and build a sanctuary to the Lord God, that the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and the vessels consecrated to the Lord, may be brought into the house, which is built to the name of the Lord.
Zvino zvipirei mwoyo nemweya kutsvaka Jehovha Mwari wenyu. Tangai kuvaka nzvimbo tsvene yaJehovha Mwari, kuitira kuti mugouyisa areka yesungano yaJehovha nemidziyo mitsvene yaMwari mutemberi ichavakirwa Zita raJehovha.”
