1 Chronicles 22
1 Then David said, “This is where the house of the Lord God will be, and this is the place for the altar of burnt offering for Israel.”
Awo Dawudi n’ayogera nti, “Wano we wanaabeeranga ennyumba ya Mukama Katonda, n’ekyoto eky’ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa ku lwa Isirayiri.”
2 So David gave orders to summon the foreigners living in the land of Israel, and he assigned stonecutters to prepare dressed stones to build the house of God.
Dawudi n’alagira okukuŋŋaanya bannaggwanga abaali mu Isirayiri, era mu bo n’alondamu abatemi b’amayinja, bagabajje nga kuzimbisa nnyumba ya Mukama.
3 David provided plenty of iron to make the nails for the entrance doors and for the supports, as well as more bronze than could be weighed.
Yateekawo ebyuma bingi olw’okukola emisumaali egy’enzigi egya wankaaki, n’olwebigatta, n’ebikomo bingi ebyayinga obungi n’obuzito.
4 He provided more cedar logs than could be counted, because the people of Sidon and Tyre had brought a huge quantity of cedar logs to David.
Yawaayo n’emivule egitabalika, Abazidoni n’Abatuulo gye baamuleetera.
5 David said to himself, “My son Solomon is still young and inexperienced, and the house that is to be built for the Lord must be truly magnificent, famous and glorious around the world. I need to start preparing for it.” So David made sure plenty of building materials were ready before he died.
Dawudi n’ayogera nti, “Sulemaani mutabani wange akyali mwana muto n’obumanyirivu bwe butono. Ennyumba egenda okuzimbirwa Mukama egwana okuba ey’ekitiibwa ekinene ennyo, ng’eyatiikirira era ng’etenderezebwa mu mawanga gonna. Noolwekyo nzija kuteekateeka ebinaagizimba.” Era Dawudi yakola entegeka nnene ddala nga tannaba kufa.
6 Then he sent for his son Solomon and instructed him to build a house for the Lord, the God of Israel.
Awo n’ayita Sulemaani mutabani we n’amukuutira okuzimbira Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri ennyumba.
7 David told Solomon, “My son, I had always wanted to build a house to honor the Lord my God.
Dawudi n’agamba Sulemaani nti, “Mwana wange, kyali mu mutima gwange okuzimba ennyumba ku lwa Mukama Katonda wange.
8 But the Lord told me, ‘You have shed a lot of blood and engaged in many wars. You are not to build a house to honor me because I have seen you shed so much blood on the earth.
Naye ekigambo kya Mukama ne kinzijira nga kigamba nti, ‘Oyiye omusaayi mungi, era olwanye entalo nnyingi. Tolizimbira linnya lyange nnyumba, kubanga oyiye omusaayi mungi mu maaso gange.
9 But you will have a son who will be a man of peace. I will give him peace from all his enemies in the nations around. Solomon will be his name, and I will grant peace and quiet to Israel during his reign.
Laba, omwana owoobulenzi alizaalibwa gy’oli, era aliba omusajja ow’emirembe, ne muwa emirembe eri abalabe bonna enjuuyi zonna. Aliyitibwa Sulemaani. Ndiwa Isirayiri emirembe n’obutebenkevu ku mulembe gwe.
10 He is the one who will build a house to honor me. He will be my son, and I will be his father. And I will make sure the throne of his kingdom over Israel lasts forever.’
Oyo ye alizimba ennyumba ku lw’erinnya lyange. Aliba mutabani wange, nange ndiba kitaawe. Era ndinyweza entebe ye ey’obwakabaka bwe mu Isirayiri emirembe gyonna.’
11 Now, my son, may the Lord be with you so you may succeed in building the house of the Lord your God, just as he said you would.
“Kaakano, mwana wange, Mukama abeere naawe, era olabe omukisa, ozimbire Mukama Katonda wo ennyumba, nga bwe yayogera.
12 Only may the Lord give you insight and understanding when he puts you in command of Israel, so that you may keep the law of the Lord your God.
Mukama akuwe amagezi ag’okwawula n’okutegeera ng’okulembera Isirayiri, olyoke okuumenga amateeka ga Mukama Katonda wo.
13 Then you will be successful, as long as you are careful to follow the laws and regulations that the Lord through Moses instructed Israel to do. Be strong and be brave! Don't be afraid or discouraged!
Olwo onoolaba omukisa bw’oneekuumanga ebiragiro n’amateeka Mukama ge yawa Musa ku lwa Isirayiri. Beera n’amaanyi era gguma omwoyo, totya so totekemuka.
14 Look, I've taken a lot of trouble to provide for the house of the Lord— 100,000 talents of gold, 1,000,000 talents of silver, and bronze and iron, more than can be weighed.
“Mu kutegana okungi ntegekedde yeekaalu ya Mukama ttani eza zaabu enkumi ssatu mu bina mu ataano, ne ttani eza ffeeza emitwalo esatu mu enkumi nnya mu bitaano; n’ebikomo n’ebyuma bingi nnyo ebitapimika muwendo gwabyo, n’embaawo n’amayinja. Ate okyayinza n’okwongerako.
15 I have also provided timber and stone, but you will need to add more.
Olina abakozi bangi; abatemi b’amayinja, n’abazimbi, n’ababazzi, n’abantu bonna abalina obumanyirivu mu kuweesa
16 You have many workers such as stonecutters, masons, carpenters, and all kinds of craftsmen of gold, silver, bronze, and iron—without limit. So get started, and may the Lord be with you!”
zaabu ne ffeeza, n’ebikomo, n’ekyuma. Kaakano tandikirawo okukola era Mukama akuluŋŋamye.”
17 David also ordered all the leaders in Israel to help his son Solomon.
Awo Dawudi n’alagira abakulembeze bonna aba Isirayiri okuyamba mutabani we Sulemaani ng’agamba nti,
18 “Isn't the Lord God with you? Hasn't he given you peace on all your borders?” he asked. “Why? Because he has placed the inhabitants of the land under my power, and they are now subject to the Lord and to his people.
“Mukama Katonda wammwe tali wamu nammwe? Era tabawadde okuwummula n’emirembe ku njuyi zonna? Agabudde ababeera mu nsi mu mukono gwange, era ensi ekkakkanye eri Mukama n’eri abantu be.
19 Now, with your whole mind and heart, make a definite decision to always worship the Lord your God. Get started on building the sanctuary of the Lord God, Then you can bring the Ark of the Lord's Agreement and the holy things of God into the house that is to be built to honor the Lord.”
Kaakano mumalirire mu mitima gyammwe ne mu mmeeme zammwe okunoonya Mukama Katonda wammwe. Mutandike okuzimba awatukuvu wa Mukama, n’oluvannyuma muleete essanduuko ey’endagaano ya Mukama, n’ebintu ebitukuvu ebya Katonda mu yeekaalu eneezimbibwa ku lw’erinnya lya Mukama.”
