1 Chronicles 22
1 And David said, This is the house of the Lord the [true] God, and this is the altar for the 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 And David ordered to gather together the strangers that were in the land of Israel: and he appointed [them] to be masons to hew cut 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 And iron in abundance for the nails for the doors of the gates, and for the joinings, did David prepare; and copper in abundance, [which] could not be weighed;
Yateekawo ebyuma bingi olw’okukola emisumaali egy’enzigi egya wankaaki, n’olwebigatta, n’ebikomo bingi ebyayinga obungi n’obuzito.
4 Also cedar-trees [which] could not be counted; for the Zidonians and the Tyrians had brought cedar-trees in abundance to David.
Yawaayo n’emivule egitabalika, Abazidoni n’Abatuulo gye baamuleetera.
5 And David said, Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be built [in honor] of the Lord must be exceedingly great, for fame and for glory throughout all the countries: I will therefore make preparation for it. So David made abundant preparation before his death.
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 And he called for Solomon his son, and charged 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 And David said to Solomon, My son, as for me, it was in my mind to build a house unto the name of the Lord my God;
Dawudi n’agamba Sulemaani nti, “Mwana wange, kyali mu mutima gwange okuzimba ennyumba ku lwa Mukama Katonda wange.
8 But there came concerning me the word of the Lord, saying, Blood in abundance hast thou shed, and great wars hast thou made: thou shalt not build a house unto my name, because much blood hast thou shed upon the earth before me.
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 Behold, a son will be born to thee, he it is who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies on every side; for Solomon [[The Peaceful]] shall be his name, and peace and quietness will I bestow on Israel in his days.
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 it is who shall build a house unto my name; and he shall be unto me as a son, and I will be unto him as a father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel for ever.
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 thee, that thou mayest prosper, and build the house of the Lord thy God, as he hath spoken concerning thee.
“Kaakano, mwana wange, Mukama abeere naawe, era olabe omukisa, ozimbire Mukama Katonda wo ennyumba, nga bwe yayogera.
12 Only may the Lord give thee intelligence and understanding, and give thee charge over Israel, so that thou mayest observe the law of the Lord thy God.
Mukama akuwe amagezi ag’okwawula n’okutegeera ng’okulembera Isirayiri, olyoke okuumenga amateeka ga Mukama Katonda wo.
13 Then wilt thou prosper, if thou observe to practise the statutes and the ordinances which the Lord commanded Moses concerning Israel: be strong, and of good courage; be not afraid, nor be thou dismayed.
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 And, behold, during my affliction have I prepared for the house of the Lord one hundred thousand talents of gold, and a thousand times thousand talents of silver; and of copper and iron [as much as] cannot be weighed; for in [such] abundance was it: and wood and stone have I prepared; and thou must add thereto.
“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 Moreover there are with thee in abundance workmen, hewers and workers of stone and timber, and all manner of skilful men for every kind of work.
Olina abakozi bangi; abatemi b’amayinja, n’abazimbi, n’ababazzi, n’abantu bonna abalina obumanyirivu mu kuweesa
16 The gold, the silver, and the copper, and the iron cannot be numbered: arise, [therefore, ] and be doing, and may the Lord be with thee.
zaabu ne ffeeza, n’ebikomo, n’ekyuma. Kaakano tandikirawo okukola era Mukama akuluŋŋamye.”
17 And David gave a charge to all the princes of Israel to help Solomon his son, [saying, ]
Awo Dawudi n’alagira abakulembeze bonna aba Isirayiri okuyamba mutabani we Sulemaani ng’agamba nti,
18 Behold the Lord your God is with you; and he hath given you rest on every side; for he hath given up into my hand the inhabitants of the land, and the land is subdued before the Lord, and before 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 direct your heart and your soul to seek the Lord your God; and arise, and build ye the sanctuary of the Lord the [true] God, [in order] to bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and the holy vessels of God, into the house that is to be built unto the name of 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.”
