1 Chronicles 28
1 And David assembled all the princes of Israel, the princes of the tribes, and the captains of the divisions that ministered to the king, and the captains of the thousands, and the captains of the hundreds, and the rulers of all the property and the cattle of the king and of his sons, with the court-servants, and the mighty men, and with all the valiant men of the army, unto Jerusalem.
Dawudi n’akuŋŋaanya abakungu bonna aba Isirayiri e Yerusaalemi ng’omwo mwe muli abakulu b’ebika, n’abakulu b’ebitongole abaaweerezanga kabaka, n’abaduumizi ab’olukumi, n’abaduumizi ab’ekikumi, n’abakungu abaavunaanyizibwanga eby’obugagga n’amagana ebyali ebya kabaka ne batabani be, n’abakungu ab’omu lubiri, n’abasajja ab’amaanyi era n’abasajja bonna abazira.
2 Then arose king David upon his feet, and said, Hear me, my brethren, and my people! I had in my heart to build a house of rest for the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and for the footstool of our God, and I had made preparations to build;
Awo kabaka Dawudi n’ayimirira n’ayogera nti, “Mumpulirize baganda bange era abantu bange. Nnali nteseeteese mu mutima gwange okuzimbira essanduuko ey’endagaano ya Mukama n’entebe ey’ebigere bya Katonda, ennyumba, era nga nentegeka eyaayo ewedde okukolebwa.
3 But God said unto me, Thou shalt not build a house unto my name; because thou art a man of war, and blood hast thou shed.
Naye Katonda n’aŋŋamba nti, ‘Tolinzimbira linnya lyange nnyumba, kubanga oli mutabaazi wa ntalo era wayiwa omusaayi.’
4 Yet the Lord the God of Israel made choice of me out of all the house of my father to be king over Israel for ever; for of Judah had he made choice as ruler, and among the house of Judah, of the house of my father; and among the sons of my father had he pleasure in me to make [me] king over all Israel:
“Naye ate Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri yannonda mu nnyumba ya kitange yonna okuba kabaka wa Isirayiri emirembe gyonna. Yalonda Yuda okuba omukulembeze, ne mu nnyumba ya Yuda n’alondamu ennyumba ya kitange, ne mu batabani ba kitange n’asiima okunfuula kabaka wa Isirayiri yenna.
5 And of all my sons, —for the Lord hath given me many sons, — hath he made choice of Solomon my son, to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of the Lord over Israel.
Mu batabani bange bonna, kubanga Mukama ampadde bangi, Sulemaani mutabani wange gw’alonze okutuula ku ntebe ey’obwakabaka bwa Mukama mu Isirayiri.
6 And he hath said unto me, Solomon thy son it is that shall build my house and my courts; for I have made choice of him to be as a son unto me, and I will be indeed to him as a father.
Yaŋŋamba nti, ‘Sulemaani mutabani wo y’alizimba ennyumba yange n’empya zange, kubanga mmulonze okuba omwana wange, era nange n’abeeranga kitaawe.
7 Moreover, I will firmly establish his kingdom for everlasting, if he be strong to execute my commandments and my ordinances as it is this day.
Ndinyweza obwakabaka bwe emirembe gyonna, bwatalirekayo okugondera ebiragiro byange n’amateeka gange nga bwe bigobelerwa mu nnaku zino.’
8 And now before the eyes of all Israel, the congregation of the Lord, and in the hearing of our God, [I admonish you] observe and seek for all the commandments of the Lord your God: in order that ye may keep possession of this good land, and leave it for an inheritance unto your children after you forever.
“Kaakano nkukuutira mu lujjudde lwonna olwa Isirayiri, ekuŋŋaaniro lya Mukama, ne Katonda waffe ng’awulira, nti weekuume okugondera ebiragiro ebya Mukama Katonda wo, olyoke olye ensi eno ennungi era (n’abazzukulu) n’abaana ab’obusika bwo bagisikirenga emirembe gyonna.
9 And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with an entire heart and with a willing soul; for all hearts doth the Lord search, and every imagination of the thoughts doth he understand; if thou seek him, he will let himself be found by thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever.
“Era Sulemaani mutabani wange tegeera Katonda wa kitaawo, omuweerezenga n’omutima gumu n’emmeeme yo yonna, kubanga Mukama akebera emitima, era ategeera okufumiitiriza okw’ebirowoozo. Bw’onoomunoonyanga, onoomulabanga, naye bw’onoomulekanga, anaakuvangako emirembe gyonna.
10 See now that the Lord hath made choice of thee to build a house for the sanctuary: be strong and do it.
Kaakano weekuume, kubanga Mukama akulonze okuzimba ennyumba ey’okusinzizangamu. Ba n’amaanyi, okole omulimu.”
11 Then gave David to Solomon his son the pattern of the porch, and of its apartments, and of its treasuries, and of upper chambers, and of its inner chambers, and of the place of the cover of the ark.
Awo Dawudi n’akwasa Sulemaani mutabani we ekyokulabirako eky’ekisasi kya yeekaalu, n’ebizimbe byabyo, n’amawanika gaayo, n’ebisenge ebya waggulu, n’ebisenge eby’omunda, n’ekifo eky’entebe ey’okusaasira.
12 And the pattern of all that he had in his spirit, concerning the courts of the house of the Lord, and concerning all the chambers round about, concerning the treasuries of the house of God, and concerning the treasuries of the holy things:
Yamuwa n’enteekateeka ya buli kintu nga eky’empya za yeekaalu ya Mukama, n’ebisenge, ebyali bigiriranye, n’amawanika ga yeekaalu ya Mukama, n’ebintu byonna ebyawongebwa, ng’Omwoyo bwe yali agitadde ku mutima gwe.
13 Also concerning the divisions of the priests and the Levites, and concerning all the work of the service of the house of the Lord, and concerning all the vessels of service of the house of the Lord;
Yamuwa n’ebiragiro eby’okugobereranga ku bibinja bya bakabona, n’Abaleevi, n’olw’omulimu gwonna ogw’okuweerezanga mu yeekaalu ya Mukama, n’olw’ebintu byonna ebyakozesebwanga mu kuweereza mu nnyumba ya Mukama.
14 Concerning the golden vessels, after the weight of the gold, for all the vessels of all manner of service; concerning all the vessels of silver after the weight, for all the vessels of every kind of service;
Yawaayo ebipimo ebya zaabu olw’ebintu byonna ebya zaabu ebyasabwanga buli mulundi, n’ebipimo ebya ffeeza olw’ebintu byonna ebya ffeeza ebyakozesebwanga buli mulundi;
15 Also the weight for the candlesticks of gold, and for their lamps of gold, after the weight for every candlestick, and for its lamps; and concerning the candlesticks of silver after the weight, for the candlestick, and for its lamps, according to the use of every candlestick;
n’ebipimo eby’ettabaaza eza zaabu, n’ettabaaza zaakwo, n’ebipimo ebya zaabu ebya buli kikondo n’ettabaaza yaakyo, n’ebipimo ebya buli kikondo ekya ffeeza n’ettabaaza yaakyo;
16 And the gold after the weight for the tables of the rows of shewbread, for every table; and the silver for the tables of silver;
n’ebipimo ebya zaabu eby’emmeeza ez’emigaati emitukuze egy’okulaga, n’ebipimo ebya ffeeza eby’emmeeza eza ffeeza;
17 Also [concerning] the forks, and the bowls, and the supporters of pure gold; and concerning the golden cups after the weight for every cup; and concerning the silver cups after the weight for every cup;
n’ebipimo ebya zaabu ennongoose eya wuuma, n’ebbakuli ezimasamasa, n’ekikopo, n’ebipimo ebya zaabu eby’ebbakuli eza zaabu, n’ebipimo ebya ffeeza eby’ebbakuli eza ffeeza;
18 And concerning the altar of incense the refined gold after the weight; and concerning the pattern of the chariot of the golden cherubim, which spread out [their wings], and over the ark of the covenant of the Lord.
n’ebipimo ebya zaabu ennongoose ey’ekyoto eky’obubaane. N’amuwa n’enteekateeka ey’eggaali, be bakerubi aba zaabu abanjala ebiwaawaatiro byabwe ne babikka ku ssanduuko ey’endagaano ya Mukama.
19 All [this, said David, ] was put in writing from the hand of the Lord, who gave me instruction [respecting] all the works of the pattern.
Awo Dawudi n’ayogera nti, “Ebyo byonna biri mu buwandiike, kubanga omukono gwa Mukama gwali wamu nange, era yampa okukitegeerera ddala.”
20 And David said to Solomon his son, Be strong, and of good courage, and do [the work]; fear not, and be not dismayed; for the Lord God, [yea, ] my God is with thee: he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee, until thou have finished all the work for the service of the house of the Lord.
Dawudi n’ayongera n’agamba Sulemaani mutabani we nti, “Ba n’amaanyi era guma omwoyo, okole omulimu. Totya so totekemuka wadde okuggwamu omwoyo, kubanga Mukama Katonda, Katonda wange ali wamu naawe. Taakwabulirenga so taakulekenga okutuusa omulimu gwonna ogw’okuweereza ogwa yeekaalu ye Mukama nga guwedde.
21 And, behold, the divisions of the priests and the Levites are there for all the service of the house of God; and with thee are in all manner of workmanship all kinds of men distinguished in wisdom, for every manner of service; and the princes and all the people are ready [to obey] all thy words.
Era, laba, ebibiina bya bakabona n’Abaleevi beeteefuteefu okukola omulimu ku yeekaalu ya Katonda, na buli musajja omumanyirivu mu kuweesa okw’engeri zonna anaakuyamba mu mulimu gwonna. Era n’abakungu wamu n’abantu bonna banaagonderanga buli kiragiro kyo.”
