1 Chronicles 22
1 Then David said, This is the house of YHWH Elohim, and this is the altar of the burnt offering for Israel.
UDavida wasesithi: Le yindlu yeNkosi uNkulunkulu, laleli lilathi lomnikelo wokutshiswa kaIsrayeli.
2 And David commanded to gather together the strangers that were in the land of Israel; and he set masons to hew wrought stones to build the house of Elohim.
UDavida waselaya ukubuthanisa abezizweni ababeselizweni lakoIsrayeli; wamisa ababazi bamatshe ukuthi babaze amatshe alungisiweyo okwakha indlu kaNkulunkulu.
3 And David prepared iron in abundance for the nails for the doors of the gates, and for the joinings; and brass in abundance without weight;
UDavida waselungisa insimbi enengi kakhulu yezipikili zezivalo zamasango leyokuhlanganisa; lethusi elinengi kakhulu elalingelakulinganiswa ngesisindo;
4 Also cedar trees in abundance: for the Zidonians and they of Tyre brought much cedar wood to David.
lezigodo zemisedari ezingelakubalwa; ngoba amaSidoni lamaTire amlethela uDavida izigodo zemisedari ezinengi kakhulu.
5 And David said, Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be builded for YHWH must be exceeding magnifical, of fame and of glory throughout all countries: I will therefore now make preparation for it. So David prepared abundantly before his death.
UDavida wasesithi: USolomoni indodana yami ungumfana, ubuthakathaka, lendlu ezakwakhelwa iNkosi kumele yenziwe ibe nkulu kakhulu, ibe lebizo ibe lodumo emazweni wonke. Ngakho ngizayilungiselela. UDavida waselungiselela kakhulu phambi kokufa kwakhe.
6 Then he called for Solomon his son, and charged him to build an house for YHWH Elohim of Israel.
Wasebiza uSolomoni indodana yakhe, wamlaya ukuthi akhele iNkosi uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli indlu.
7 And David said to Solomon, My son, as for me, it was in my mind to build an house unto the name of YHWH my Elohim:
UDavida wasesithi kuSolomoni: Ndodana yami, mina-ke, kwakusenhliziyweni yami ukwakhela ibizo leNkosi uNkulunkulu wami indlu.
8 But the word of YHWH came to me, saying, Thou hast shed blood abundantly, and hast made great wars: thou shalt not build an house unto my name, because thou hast shed much blood upon the earth in my sight.
Kodwa ilizwi leNkosi lafika kimi lisithi: Uchithe igazi elinengi, walawula izimpi ezinkulu; kawuyikwakhela ibizo lami indlu, ngoba uchithe igazi elinengi emhlabeni phambi kwami.
9 Behold, a son shall be born to thee, who 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 unto Israel in his days.
Khangela, uzazalelwa indodana ezakuba ngumuntu wokuphumula; njalo ngizayiphumuza ezitheni zayo zonke inhlangothi zonke: Ngoba ibizo layo lizakuba nguSolomoni, njalo ngizanika ukuthula lokuphumula phezu kukaIsrayeli ensukwini zakhe.
10 He shall build an house for my name; and he shall be my son, and I will be his father; and I will establish throne of his kingdom over Israel for ever.
Yena uzakwakhela ibizo lami indlu. Yena-ke uzakuba yindodana yami, lami ngibe nguyise; ngiqinise isihlalo sakhe sobukhosi phezu kukaIsrayeli kuze kube nininini.
11 Now, my son, YHWH be with thee; and prosper thou, and build the house of YHWH thy Elohim, as he hath said of thee.
Khathesi, ndodana yami, iNkosi ibe lawe, njalo uphumelele wakhe indlu yeNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho, njengokutsho kwayo ngawe.
12 Only YHWH give thee wisdom and understanding, and give thee charge concerning Israel, that thou mayest keep the law of YHWH thy Elohim.
Kuphela iNkosi ikunike inhlakanipho lokuqedisisa, ikulaye ngoIsrayeli, ukuze ulondoloze umlayo weNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho.
13 Then shalt thou prosper, if thou takest heed to fulfil the statutes and judgments which YHWH charged Moses with concerning Israel: be strong, and of good courage; dread not, nor be dismayed.
Khona uzaphumelela, uba unanzelela ukwenza izimiso lezahlulelo iNkosi eyakulaya uMozisi ngoIsrayeli; qina, ube lesibindi; ungesabi, ungatshaywa luvalo.
14 Now, behold, in my trouble I have prepared for the house of YHWH an hundred thousand talents of gold, and a thousand thousand talents of silver; and of brass and iron without weight; for it is in abundance: timber also and stone have I prepared; and thou mayest add thereto.
Khangela-ke, ekuhluphekeni kwami ngilungisele indlu yeNkosi amathalenta egolide ayizinkulungwane ezilikhulu, lamathalenta esiliva ayizinkulungwane eziyinkulungwane, lethusi lensimbi okungelakulinganiswa ngesisindo, ngoba kunengi kakhulu; ngilungise lezigodo lamatshe. Uzakwengezelela-ke kukho.
15 Moreover there are workmen with thee in abundance, hewers and workers of stone and timber, and all manner of cunning men for every manner of work.
Njalo ulezisebenzi ezinengi, ababazi bamatshe, lezingcitshi zamatshe lezezigodo, layo yonke indoda ehlakaniphileyo kuwo wonke umsebenzi.
16 Of the gold, the silver, and the brass, and the iron, there is no number. Arise therefore, and be doing, and YHWH be with thee.
Kakulanani legolide, lelesiliva, lelethusi, lelensimbi. Sukuma usebenze; njalo iNkosi ibe lawe!
17 David also commanded all the princes of Israel to help Solomon his son, saying,
UDavida waselaya zonke izinduna zakoIsrayeli ukusiza uSolomoni indodana yakhe, esithi:
18 Is not YHWH your Elohim with you? and hath he not given you rest on every side? for he hath given the inhabitants of the land into mine hand; and the land is subdued before YHWH, and before his people.
INkosi uNkulunkulu wenu kayilani yini? Kambe kayilinikanga yini ukuphumula inhlangothi zonke? Ngoba inikele abahlali belizwe esandleni sami, lelizwe lehliselwe phansi phambi kweNkosi laphambi kwabantu bayo.
19 Now set your heart and your soul to seek YHWH your Elohim; arise therefore, and build ye the sanctuary of YHWH Elohim, to bring the ark of the covenant of YHWH, and the holy vessels of Elohim, into the house that is to be built to the name of YHWH.
Khathesi misani inhliziyo yenu lomphefumulo wenu ukudinga iNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu. Sukumani-ke lakhe indawo engcwele yeNkosi uNkulunkulu, ukungenisa umtshokotsho wesivumelwano seNkosi lezitsha ezingcwele zikaNkulunkulu endlini eyakhelwe ibizo leNkosi.
