1 Chronicles 29
1 Moreouer Dauid the King sayde vnto all the Congregation, God hath chosen Salomon mine onely sonne yong and tender, and the worke is great: for this house is not for man, but for the Lord God.
Mfalme Daudi akasema kwa kusanyiko lote, “Sulemani mwanangu, ambaye mwenyewe Mungu amemchagu, bado nimdogo na hana uzoefu, na jukumu ni kubwa. Maana hekalu sio kwa ajili ya watu bali la Mungu.
2 Now I haue prepared with all my power for the house of my God, golde for vessels of golde, and siluer for them of siluer, and brasse for things of brasse, yron for things of yron, and wood for things of wood, and onix stones, and stones to be set, and carbuncle stones and of diuers colours, and all precious stones, and marble stones in aboundance.
Hivyo nimefanya kwa ubora wangu kutoa kwa ajili ya hekalu la Mungu. Nina toa dhahabu kwa vitu vya kujengwa na dhahabu, fedha kwa vitu vya kujengwa na fedha, shaba kwa vitu vya kujengwa na shaba, nishati kwa vitu vya kujengwa na nishati, na mbao kwa vitu vya kujengwa na mbao. Pia nina toa mawe ya shohamu, mawe ya kupangwa, mawe ya upambaji wandani ya rangi mbali mbali - kila haina ya mawe ya thamani - na marimari kwa wingi.
3 Moreouer, because I haue delite in the house of my God, I haue of mine owne golde and siluer, which I haue giuen to the house of my God, beside all that I haue prepared for the house of the Sanctuarie,
Sasa, kwasababu ya mapenzi yangu kwa nyumba ya Mungu, Ninatoa hazina yangu binafsi ya dhahabu na fedha. Ninafanya hivi kwa nyongeza kwa yote niliyofanya katika hekalu takatifu:
4 Euen three thousand talents of gold of the golde of Ophir, and seuen thousand talents of fined siluer to ouerlay the walles of the houses.
talanta za dhahabu elfu tatu kutoka Ofiri, na talanta elfu saba za fedha zilizotakasika, ili kufunika kuta za majengo.
5 The golde for the things of golde, and the siluer for things of siluer, and for all the worke by the handes of artificers: and who is willing to fill his hand to day vnto the Lord?
Ninachangia dhahabu kwa vitu vya kujengwa na dhahabu, na fedha kwa vitu vya kujengwa na fedha, na kazi zote zinazotakiwa kufanywa na wajenzi. Nani mwingine anataka kuchangia kwa Yahweh leo na kujitoa kwake?”
6 So the princes of the families, and the princes of the tribes of Israel, and the captaines of thousands and of hundreths, with the rulers of the Kings worke, offred willingly,
Kisha sadaka za hiari zilitolewa na viongozi wa mababu wa familia zao, viongozi wa makabila ya Israeli, wakuu wa maelfu na mamia, na waamuzi waliojuu ya kazi ya mfalme.
7 And they gaue for the seruice of the house of God fiue thousande talents of golde, and ten thousand pieces, and ten thousand talents of siluer, and eighteene thousand talents of brasse, and one hundreth thousand talents of yron.
Walitoa kwa ajili ya huduma ya nyumba ya Mungu talanta elfu tano na darkoni elfu kumi za dhahabu, talanta elfu kumi za fedha, talanta elfu nane za fedha, na talanta za chuma 100, 000.
8 And they with whom precious stones were found, gaue them to the treasure of ye house of the Lord, by the hand of Iehiel the Gershunnite.
Haao walio na mawe ya thamani waliyatoa katika Hazina ya nyumba Yahweh, chini ya usimamizi wa Yehieli, mzao wa Gerishoni.
9 And the people reioyced when they offred willingly: for they offred willingly vnto ye Lord, with a perfite heart. And Dauid the King also reioyced with great ioy.
Watu walifurahi kwa ajili ya hizi sadaka za hiari, kwasababu walitoa kwa moyo wao wote kwa Yahweh. Mfalme Daudi pia alifurahi sana.
10 Therefore Dauid blessed the Lord before all the Congregation, and Dauid sayde, Blessed be thou, O Lord God, of Israel our father, for euer and euer.
Daudi alimbariki Yahweh mbele ya kusanyiko lote. Alisema, “Na uabudiwe, Yahweh, Mungu wa Israeli babu wetu, milele na milele.
11 Thine, O Lord, is greatnesse and power, and glory, and victorie and praise: for all that is in heauen and in earth is thine: thine is the kingdome, O Lord, and thou excellest as head ouer all.
Kwako, Yahweh, kuna ukuu, nguvu, utukufu, ushindi, na enzi. Kwa kuwa yote yalio mbinguni na duniani ni yako. Kwako ni ufalme, Yahweh, na umetukuzwa kama mtawala juu ya vyote.
12 Both riches and honour come of thee, and thou reignest ouer all, and in thine hand is power and strength, and in thine hande it is to make great, and to giue strength vnto all.
Utajiri na heshima utoka kwako, unatawala juu ya watu wote. Mkononi mwako kuna nguvu na uwezo. Unao uweza na nguvu ya kuwafanya watu kuwa mkuu na kumpa uweza yeyote.
13 Now therefore our God, we thanke thee, and prayse thy glorious Name.
Kisha sasa, Mungu wetu, tunakushukuru na kusifu jina lako tukufu.
14 But who am I, and what is my people, that we shoulde be able to offer willingly after this sort? for all things come of thee: and of thine owne hand we haue giuen thee.
Lakini mimi ni nani, na watu wangu ni nani, tustahili kutoa kwa hiari hivi vitu? Kweli, vitu vyote vya toka kwako, na tumerudisha kwako vilivyo vyako.
15 For we are stragers before thee, and soiourners, like all our fathers: our dayes are like ye shadowe vpon the earth, and there is none abiding.
Kwa kuwa sisi ni wageni na wasafiri mbele zako, mababu zetu wote walikuwa. Siku zetu katika dunia ni kama kivuli, na hakuna tumaini la kubaki duniani.
16 O Lord our God, all this abundance that we haue prepared to buylde thee an house for thine holy Name, is of thine hand and all is thine.
Yahweh Mungu wetu, utajiri wote tulio kusanya kujenga hekalu kwa kuheshimu jina lako - watoka kwako na ni wako.
17 I knowe also, my God, that thou tryest the heart, and hast pleasure in righteousnesse: I haue offred willingly in the vprightnesse of mine heart all these things: now also haue I seene thy people which are found here, to offer vnto thee willingly with ioy.
Ninajua, Mungu wangu, unachunguza moyo na wapendezwa na unyofu. Kwangu mimi, kwa unyofu wa moyo wangu nimetoa kwa hiari vitu vyote, na sasa natazama kwa furaha watu walio hapa wakitoa tunu kwako.
18 O Lord God of Abraham, Izhak and Israel our fathers, keepe this for euer in the purpose, and the thoughts of the heart of thy people, and prepare their hearts vnto thee.
yahweh, Mungu wa Ibrahimu, Isaka, na Israeli - mababu zetu - hifadhi hili katika fikra za watu wako. Elekeza mioyo yao kwako.
19 And giue vnto Salomon my sonne a perfit heart to keepe thy commandements, thy testimonies, and thy statutes, and to doe all things, and to builde the house which I haue prepared.
Mjalie Sulemani mwanangu moyo wa shauku wakutii amri zako, shuhuda za agano lako, na maagizo yako, na kutekeleza mipango hii yote ya kujenga nyumba niliyoiandaa.”
20 And Dauid said to all the Congregation, Now blesse the Lord your God. And all the Congregation blessed the Lord God of their fathers, and bowed downe their heads, and worshipped the Lord and the King.
Daudi akasema kwa kusanyiko lote, “Sasa mbariki Yahweh Mungu wenu.” Kusanyiko lote likambariki Yahweh, Munug wa mababu zao, wakainamisha vichwa vyao na kumuabudu Yahweh na kusujudu mbele za mfalme.
21 And they offred sacrifices vnto the Lord, and on the morowe after that day, they offered burnt offrings vnto the Lord, euen a thousande yong bullocks, a thousand rammes and a thousand sheepe, with their drinke offrings, and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel.
Kwa siku iliyo fuata, wakatoa dhabiu kwa Yahweh na kumtolea sadaka ya kuteketeza. Walitoa sadaka ya ng'ombe elfu moja, kondoo elfu moja, na wana kondoo elfu moja, pamoja na sadaka zao za vinywaji na dhabihu tele kwa Israeli yote.
22 And they did eate and drinke before the Lord the same day with great ioy, and they made Salomon the sonne of Dauid King the seconde time, and anoynted him prince before the Lord, and Zadok for the hie Priest.
Siku ile, walikunywa na kula mbele za Yahweh kwa furaha tele. Walimfanya Sulemani, mwana wa Daudi, mfalme mara ya pili, na kumpaka mafuta ya mamlaka ya Yahweh kuwa mfalme. Pia walimpaka Zadoki mafuta kuwa mfalme.
23 So Salomon sate on the throne of the Lord, as King in steade of Dauid his father, and prospered: and all Israel obeyed him.
Kisha Sulemani akaketi kwenye kiti cha enzi cha Yahweh kama mfalme baada ya Daudi baba yake. Alifanikiwa, na Israeli yote ikamtii.
24 And all the princes and men of power, and all the sonnes of King Dauid submitted them selues vnder King Salomon.
Viongozi wote, wanajeshi, na Mfalme Daudi wanae wakaonyesha utii kwa Mfalme Sulemani.
25 And the Lord magnified Salomon in dignitie, in the sight of all Israel, and gaue him so glorious a kingdome, as no King had before him in Israel.
Yahweh alimheshimu sana Sulemani na kumkirimia nguvu kubwa kuliko mfalme yeyote aliyetangulia kabla yake Israeli.
26 Thus Dauid the sonne of Ishai reigned ouer all Israel.
Daudi mwana wa Yese alitawala Israeli yote.
27 And the space that he reigned ouer Israel, was fourtie yeere: seuen yeere reigned he in Hebron, and three and thirtie yeere reigned he in Ierusalem:
Daudi alikuwa mfalme wa Israeli kwa miaka arobaini. Alitawala kwa miaka saba Hebroni na miaka thelathini na tatu Yerusalemu.
28 And he dyed in a good age, full of dayes, riches and honour, and Salomon his sonne reigned in his steade.
Alikufa katika umri mzuri mkubwa, baada ya kufurahia maisha marefu, utajiri na heshima. Sulemani mwanae alitawala baada yake.
29 Concerning the actes of Dauid the King first and last, behold, they are written in the booke of Samuel the Seer, and in the booke of Nathan the Prophet, and in the booke of Gad the Seer,
Mafanikio ya mfalme Daudi yameandikwa katika historia ya Samweli nabii, katika historia ya Nathani nabii, na katika historia ya Gadi nabii.
30 With all his reigne and his power, and times that went ouer him, and ouer Israel and ouer all the kingdomes of the earth.
Yalio ekwa kwenye kumbukumbu ni matendo ya utawala wake, mafanikio yake na mambo yalio mdhuru, Israeli, na falme zote za nchi zingine.
