1 Chronicles 28
1 And David assembled all the princes of Israel, the princes of the tribes, and the captains of the companies that ministered to the king by course, and the captains over the thousands, and captains over the hundreds, and the stewards over all the substance and possession of the king, and of his sons, with the officers, and with the mighty men, and with all the valiant men, unto Jerusalem.
David yɔ Israel ƒe dɔdzikpɔlawo katã ƒo fu ɖe Yerusalem; Woawoe nye to vovovoawo ƒe tatɔwo, aʋafia siwo nɔ hatsotsoawo nu le fia la ƒe dɔ me, ame akpewo kple ame alafawo ƒe tatɔwo, dɔnunɔla siwo kpɔa fia la ƒe viŋutsuwo kple eƒe nunɔamesiwo kple lãhawo dzi, kpe ɖe fiasã la me dɔwɔlawo kple kalẽtɔwo kple aʋakalẽtɔwo ŋuti.
2 Then David the king stood up upon his feet, and said, Hear me, my brethren, and my people: As for me, I had in mine heart to build an house of rest for the ark of the covenant of YHWH, and for the footstool of our Elohim, and had made ready for the building:
Fia David tsi tsitre ɖe ameawo ŋkume eye wògblɔ na wo be, “Miɖo tom, nɔvinye ŋutsuwo kple nye dukɔmetɔwo, meɖoe ɖe nye dzi me be matu xɔ si anye dzudzɔƒe na Yehowa ƒe nubablaɖaka la eye wòanye afɔɖodzinu na míaƒe Mawu la. Ale mewɔ ɖoɖo ɖe etutu ŋuti.
3 But Elohim said unto me, Thou shalt not build an house for my name, because thou hast been a man of war, and hast shed blood.
Ke Mawu gblɔ nam be, ‘Menye wòe atu xɔ na nye ŋkɔ o elabena aʋawɔlae nènye eye nèkɔ ʋu ɖi.’
4 Howbeit YHWH Elohim of Israel chose me before all the house of my father to be king over Israel for ever: for he hath chosen Judah to be the ruler; and of the house of Judah, the house of my father; and among the sons of my father he liked me to make me king over all Israel:
“Ke Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la tiam le fofonye ƒe ƒome blibo la me be, manye fia ɖe Israel dzi tegbee. Etia Yuda ƒe viwo eye wòtia fofonye ƒe ƒome tso wo dome. Nye nu nyo Yehowa ŋu eye wòna mezu fia ɖe Israel dukɔ blibo la nu.
5 And of all my sons, (for YHWH hath given me many sons, ) he hath chosen Solomon my son to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of YHWH over Israel.
Yehowa na vi geɖewom eye wòtia Solomo tso vinyewo dome be wòanɔ tenyeƒe, anɔ Israel fiaɖuƒe la ƒe fiazikpui dzi.
6 And he said unto me, Solomon thy son, he shall build my house and my courts: for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be his father.
Egblɔ nam be, ‘Viwò, Solomo atu gbedoxɔ la elabena metiae abe vinye ene eye manye fofoa.
7 Moreover I will establish his kingdom for ever, if he be constant to do my commandments and my judgments, as at this day.
Ne egalé nye sewo kple ɖoɖowo me ɖe asi abe ale si wòlé wo me ɖe asi va se ɖe fifia ene la, mana eƒe fiaɖuƒe nanɔ anyi tegbetegbe.’
8 Now therefore in the sight of all Israel the congregation of YHWH, and in the audience of our Elohim, keep and seek for all the commandments of YHWH your Elohim: that ye may possess this good land, and leave it for an inheritance for your children after you for ever.
“Eya ta le Israel, Yehowa ƒe asaɖa blibo la ŋkume kple míaƒe Mawu la ƒe tome la, mele nu xlɔ̃m mi be miawɔ ɖe ɖoɖo kple se siwo katã Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la de na mi la dzi be anyigba nyui sia nanye mia tɔ eye wòanye domenyinu na miaƒe viwo tso mavɔ me yi mavɔ me.
9 And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the Elohim of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for YHWH searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever.
“Eye wò, vinye Solomo, dze si fofowòwo ƒe Mawu la eye nàsubɔe kple dzi faa kple wò susu blibo elabena Yehowa kpɔa dzi ɖe sia ɖe me eye wònyaa ame sia ame ƒe susu. Ne èdi Yehowa la, àkpɔe, ke ne ègbugbɔ le eyome la, atsɔ wò aƒu gbe tegbetegbe.
10 Take heed now; for YHWH hath chosen thee to build an house for the sanctuary: be strong, and do it.
Eya ta, kpɔ nyuie elabena wòe Yehowa tia be nàtu yeƒe gbedoxɔ si anye kɔkɔeƒe. Lé dzi ɖe ƒo eye nàwɔ nu si wòɖo na wò.”
11 Then David gave to Solomon his son the pattern of the porch, and of the houses thereof, and of the treasuries thereof, and of the upper chambers thereof, and of the inner parlours thereof, and of the place of the mercy seat,
Azɔ la, David tsɔ xɔ la kple eƒe xɔxɔnuwo, nudzraɖoƒewo, xɔtamexɔwo, xɔ emetɔwo, kɔkɔeƒe la kple amenuveveteƒe la ƒe tata na ƒe via Solomo.
12 And the pattern of all that he had by the spirit, of the courts of the house of YHWH, and of all the chambers round about, of the treasuries of the house of Elohim, and of the treasuries of the dedicated things:
Etsɔ nu siwo katã gbɔgbɔ la de eƒe susu me be wòawɔ ɖe Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la ƒe xɔxɔnuwo, xɔ siwo katã ƒo xlãe na Mawu ƒe gbedoxɔ la ƒe nudzraɖoƒewo kple fia wɔnuteƒewo ƒe nudzraɖoƒe ƒe tatawo hã nɛ.
13 Also for the courses of the priests and the Levites, and for all the work of the service of the house of YHWH, and for all the vessels of service in the house of YHWH.
Ewɔ ɖoɖo tsɔ nɛ ku ɖe nunɔlawo kple Levitɔwo ƒe hatsotsowo ŋuti kple subɔsubɔdɔ siwo katã woawɔ le Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la me kple nu siwo katã ŋuti dɔ woawɔ le subɔsubɔdɔ me la me.
14 He gave of gold by weight for things of gold, for all instruments of all manner of service; silver also for all instruments of silver by weight, for all instruments of every kind of service:
Eda sika hena sikaŋudɔwɔnu vovovo siwo ŋu dɔ woawɔ le subɔsubɔ vovovoawo me eye wòda klosalo hã hena klosaloŋudɔwɔnu vovovo siwo ŋu dɔ woawɔ le subɔsubɔ vovovoawo me.
15 Even the weight for the candlesticks of gold, and for their lamps of gold, by weight for every candlestick, and for the lamps thereof: and for the candlesticks of silver by weight, both for the candlestick, and also for the lamps thereof, according to the use of every candlestick.
Eda sika si ade na akaɖitiawo kple akaɖiawo wɔwɔ la nɛ. Egada klosalo si woatsɔ awɔ bosomikaɖitiwo kple akaɖigbɛawo ɖe ale si woawɔ ɖe sia ɖe ŋudɔe la nu.
16 And by weight he gave gold for the tables of shewbread, for every table; and likewise silver for the tables of silver:
Eda sika hena kplɔ̃wo wɔwɔ na Ŋkumeɖobolo ɖe sia ɖe eye wògada klosalo na klosalokplɔ̃wo hã.
17 Also pure gold for the fleshhooks, and the bowls, and the cups: and for the golden basons he gave gold by weight for every bason; and likewise silver by weight for every bason of silver:
Eda sika nyuitɔ na gaflowo, ʋuhlẽgbawo kple kpluwo wɔwɔ. Eda sika na sikagbawo wɔwɔ. Nenema kee wòda klosalo na klosalogbawo wɔwɔ.
18 And for the altar of incense refined gold by weight; and gold for the pattern of the chariot of the cherubims, that spread out their wings, and covered the ark of the covenant of YHWH.
Hekpe ɖe esiawo ŋuti la, eda sika si ŋu wokɔ wòdza la na dzudzɔʋeʋĩdovɔsamlekpui la. Fia la tsɔ ɖoɖo siwo wòwɔ ɖe tasiaɖamwo ŋu la hã nɛ, esi nye sika Kerubi siwo keke woƒe aʋalãwo eye wodo vɔvɔlĩ ɖe Yehowa ƒe nubablaɖaka la dzi.
19 All this, said David, YHWH made me understand in writing by his hand upon me, even all the works of this pattern.
David gblɔ na Solomo be, “Yehowa ƒe asie ŋlɔ ɖoɖo siawo katã nam.
20 And David said to Solomon his son, Be strong and of good courage, and do it: fear not, nor be dismayed: for YHWH Elohim, even my Elohim, will be with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee, until thou hast finished all the work for the service of the house of YHWH.
Sẽ ŋu eye nàlé dzi ɖe ƒo. Mègana dɔdeasi la ƒe akɔtitri nado ŋɔdzi na wò o elabena Yehowa, Mawu nye Mawu la li kpli wò eye magblẽ wò ɖi o. Akpɔ egbɔ be wowu Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la tutu nu nyuie.
21 And, behold, the courses of the priests and the Levites, even they shall be with thee for all the service of the house of Elohim: and there shall be with thee for all manner of workmanship every willing skilful man, for any manner of service: also the princes and all the people will be wholly at thy commandment.
Nunɔlawo kple Levitɔwo ƒe hatsotso vovovoawo asubɔ le gbedoxɔ la me. Ame bubu siwo nya aɖaŋu vovovowo la atsɔ wo ɖokuiwo ana hena dɔwo wɔwɔ. Dumegãwo kple dukɔ blibo la aɖo to wò eye woanɔ wò kpɔkplɔ te.”
