1 Chronicles 29
1 And king David said unto all the assembly, Solomon, the only son of mine whom God hath made choice of, is yet young and tender, and the work is great; because not for man is the palace to be, but for the Lord God.
Mgbe ahụ, Devid gwara ọgbakọ Izrel niile okwu sị ha, “Nwa m Solomọn, onye Chineke họpụtara ịbụ eze nʼọnọdụ m, bụ nwantakịrị na-amachabeghị ihe. Ma ọrụ o nwere ịrụ dị ukwuu, nʼihi na ụlọ ukwu a abụghị mmadụ ka ọ dịrị, kama ọ bụ nye Onyenwe anyị Chineke.
2 But with all my might have I made ready for the house of my God, the gold for the things of gold, and the silver for the things of silver, and the copper for the things of copper, the iron for the things of iron, and the wood for the things of wood, onyx stones, and stones to be set, bright stones, and stones of divers colors, and all manner of precious stones, and marble stones in abundance.
Ma nʼike m niile, agbalịala m wetachaa ihe niile a ga-eji wuo ụlọnsọ ukwu Chineke m ebe ha dị ukwuu: ọlaedo a ga-eji kpụọ ihe ọlaedo niile, ọlaọcha a ga-eji kpụọ ihe ọlaọcha niile, bronz a ga-eji kpụọ ihe bronz niile, igwe a ga-eji kpụọ ihe igwe niile, na osisi a ga-eji rụọ ihe osisi niile, nkume dị oke ọnụahịa ọniks, a ga-ahịọnye ahịọnye, na nkume dị oke ọnụahịa tọkwọisi, na nkume ndị ọzọ ụcha ha dị iche iche, na nkume ndị ọzọ mara mma, tinyere mabụl.
3 Moreover, because I have set my affection on the house of my God, have I acquired as my own property gold and silver; [and this] have I given to the house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the holy house:
Ugbu a, nʼihi mmasị m nʼebe ụlọnsọ Chineke m dị, ana m enye akụ nke aka m niile, ya bụ ọlaedo na ọlaọcha m, iji ya nye aka, maka iwu ụlọnsọ ukwu Chineke m. Ihe ndị a ka m na-enye, tụkwasịkwa nʼelu ihe ndị ọzọ niile bụ nke m nyerela, nʼihi ụlọnsọ ukwu a:
4 Three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls of the houses;
bụ puku talenti ọlaedo atọ (ọlaedo e si Ọfịa bubata), na puku talenti ọlaọcha asaa nke a nụchara anụcha, nke a ga-eji machite ahụ ụlọ niile nke ụlọ ndị ahụ.
5 All that is needed of gold and of silver, and for every manner of work [to be made] by the hands of artificers. And who [now] is willing to consecrate his hand this day unto the Lord?
Maka ọrụ niile a ga-eji ọlaedo rụọ, na nke a ga-eji ọlaọcha rụọ, na ọrụ niile ndị ǹka ga-arụ. Ugbu a, onye jikeere iwere onwe ya nyechasịa Onyenwe anyị nʼaka taa?”
6 Thereupon offered voluntarily the chiefs of the family divisions and the princes of the tribes of Israel, and the captains of the thousands and of the hundreds, with the supervisors of the king's work;
Mgbe ahụ, ndịisi ezinaụlọ, na ndịisi ozi nke ebo Izrel niile, na ndịisi agha na-achị ọtụtụ puku ndị agha, na ndịisi agha na-achị ọtụtụ narị ndị agha, na ndịisi ozi na-elekọta ọrụ eze, jiri obi ha niile nye onyinye.
7 And they gave for the service of the house of God of gold five thousand talents and ten thousand drachms, and of silver ten thousand talents, and of copper eighteen thousand talents, and of iron one hundred thousand talents.
Ha nyere maka ọrụ ụlọnsọ ukwu Chineke. Ha nyere puku talenti ọlaedo ise, na puku darik ọlaedo iri, nyekwa puku talenti ọlaọcha iri, na puku talenti bronz iri na asatọ, na narị puku talenti igwe.
8 And those with whom stones were found gave them to the treasury of the house of the Lord, under the supervision of Jechiel the Gershunite.
Ndị niile nwere nkume dị oke ọnụahịa dị iche iche webatara ya tinye ha nʼụlọakụ dị nʼụlọ nso ukwu Onyenwe anyị, nke Jehiel onye Geshọn na-elekọta.
9 Then did the people rejoice, because they had voluntarily offered: for with an undivided heart did they offer to the Lord: and also king David rejoiced with great joy.
Ndị Izrel niile ṅụrịrị ọṅụ nʼihi otu ndịisi ha jiri wepụta obi nye onyinye, nʼihi na ha ji ọṅụ na obi ha niile nye Onyenwe anyị onyinye. Eze Devid nʼonwe ya ṅụrịkwara ọṅụ nke ukwuu.
10 And David blessed the Lord before the eyes of all the congregation; and David said, Blessed be thou, O Lord the God of Israel our father, from everlasting even unto everlasting.
Nʼihu ọha Izrel niile, Devid kelere Onyenwe anyị ekele sị, “Otuto dịrị gị Onyenwe anyị Chineke nna anyị Izrel site nʼebighị ebi ruo ebighị ebi.
11 Thine, O Lord, are the greatness, and the might, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty, yea, all that is in the heavens and on the earth: thine, O Lord, is the kingdom, and thou art exalted as the head above all.
Gị onwe gị, Onyenwe anyị nwe ịdị ukwu, na ike, na ịma mma, na ugwu eze, na ebube, nʼihi na ihe niile nʼeluigwe na nʼụwa bụ nke gị. Gị onwe gị, Onyenwe anyị nwe alaeze. Gị kwa ka e buliri elu dịka onye na-achị isi nʼelu ihe niile.
12 And riches and honor come from thee, and thou rulest over all; and in thy hand are power and might; and it is in thy hand to make great, and to give strength unto all.
Akụnụba na nsọpụrụ na-esite nʼebe ị nọ abịa. Gị onwe gị na-achịkwa ihe niile. Ọ bụkwa nʼaka gị ka ume na ike dị ibuli ihe niile elu, na inye ihe niile ike.
13 And now, O our God, we give thanks unto thee, and praise thy glorious name.
Ugbu a, Chineke anyị, anyị na-enye gị ekele na-etokwa aha gị dị ebube.
14 For who am I, and what is my people, that we should possess the power to offer voluntarily after this sort? for from thee is every thing, and out of thy own have we given unto thee.
“Ma onye ka m bụ, ole ndị kwa ka ụmụ Izrel bụ, na i kweere ka anyị gbasapụ aka anyị nye gị onyinye. Ihe niile anyị nwere sitere nʼaka gị bịa, ha kwa ka anyị na-enyeghachi gị.
15 For strangers are we before thee, and sojourners, as were all our fathers: like a shadow are our days on the earth, and there is no hope [of abiding].
Anyị bụ ndị ọbịa na ndị mbịarambịa nʼihu gị, dịka nna nna anyị ha. Ụbọchị ndụ anyị nʼụwa dị ka onyinyo, nke olileanya na-adịghị nʼime ya.
16 O Lord our God! all this abundant store which we have prepared to build for thee a house for thy holy name, is out of thy own hand, and thine is all.
O, Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị, ihe niile ndị a anyị bukọrọ maka iji rụọra gị ụlọnsọ si nʼaka gị bịa. Ha niile bụkwa nke gị.
17 And I know, my God, that thou probest the heart, and uprightness thou receivest in favor. As for me, in the uprightness of my heart have I voluntarily offered all these things; and now thy people, that are present here, do I see with joy offering voluntarily unto thee.
Amaara m, Chineke m, na ị na-anwale obi, na i na-enwekwa mmasị nʼihe ziri ezi. Ihe ndị niile ka m onwe m nyere site nʼafọ ofufu nakwa obi ziri ezi. Ma ugbu a, ahụla m ọṅụ ndị gị, bụ ndị nọ nʼebe a, ji were afọ ofufu nye gị onyinye ha.
18 O Lord, God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, our father, preserve this for ever as the imagination of the thoughts of the heart of thy people, and direct their heart firmly unto thee.
Ya mere, gị Onyenwe anyị, Chineke nna anyị Ebraham na Aịzik, na Izrel, biko, mee ka ụdị ọchịchọ a dịgide nʼime obi ndị gị ruo ebighị ebi, meekwa ka ha jiri obi ha niile gbasoo gị mgbe niile.
19 And unto Solomon my son do thou give an undivided heart to keep thy commandments, thy testimonies, and thy statutes, and to do all, and to build the palace, for which I have made preparation.
Nye nwa m Solomọn obi zuruoke nke ọ ga-eji debe iwu gị niile, ọchịchọ gị niile na ụkpụrụ gị niile, ya na mmụọ imezu ihe niile metụtara owuwu ụlọnsọ ukwu a nke m kwadooro ihe niile ndị a.”
20 And David said to all the assembly. Bless now the Lord your God. And all the assembly blessed the Lord the God of their fathers, and bent down their heads, and prostrated themselves to the Lord, and to the king.
Mgbe ahụ, Devid gwara ndị Izrel okwu sị, “Toonu Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu!” Ha niile toro Onyenwe anyị Chineke nna ha, kpọọ isiala nye Onyenwe anyị na eze.
21 And they sacrificed sacrifices unto the Lord, and they offered burnt-offerings unto the Lord, on the morrow after that day, one thousand bullocks, a thousand rams, a thousand sheep, with their drink-offerings, and [other] sacrifices in abundance for all Israel;
Nʼechi ya, ha wetara otu puku oke ehi, na otu puku ebule, na otu puku ụmụ ebule jiri ha chụọrọ Onyenwe anyị aja nsure ọkụ. Tinyere aja ihe ọṅụṅụ na ọtụtụ aja ndị ọzọ nʼebe ọ bara ụba nʼihi ụmụ Izrel niile.
22 And they ate and drank before the Lord on that day with great joy. And they declared the second time Solomon the son of David to be king, and they anointed him unto the Lord as chief ruler, and Zadok as priest.
Emesịa, ha jiri ọṅụ rie oriri, ṅụkwaa ihe ọṅụṅụ nʼihu Onyenwe anyị. Ha nọkwa nʼebe ahụ nabata Solomọn, nwa Devid dịka eze nke ugboro abụọ, teekwa ya mmanụ nʼihu Onyenwe anyị ka ọ bụrụ onye ọchịchị. Ha mekwara Zadọk onye nchụaja.
23 Then sat Solomon on the throne of the Lord as king instead of David his father, and he was prosperous; and all Israel obeyed him.
Ya mere, Solomọn nọkwasịrị nʼocheeze Onyenwe anyị dịka eze, nʼọnọdụ nna ya Devid. Ọ bara ụba nke ukwuu. Ndị Izrel rubekwaara ya isi.
24 And all the princes, and the mighty men, and also all the sons of king David, submitted themselves unto king Solomon.
Ndịisi ọchịchị niile, na ndịisi Izrel niile, na ụmụ ndị ikom eze Devid niile kwupụtara nrube isi ha nye Solomọn, eze ọhụrụ.
25 And the Lord made Solomon exceedingly great before the eyes of all Israel; and he bestowed upon him a royal majesty such as had not been on any king over Israel before him.
Onyenwe anyị mere ka Solomọn dị ukwuu hie nne nʼanya ndị Izrel niile. Ọ yikwasịrị ya ebube nke alaeze nʼụdị ọ dịbeghị eze ọbụla buru ya ụzọ chịa nʼIzrel nweturula.
26 Thus did David the son of Jesse reign over all Israel.
Devid nwa Jesi bụ eze ndị Izrel niile.
27 And the time that he reigned over Israel was forty years: in Hebron he reigned seven years, and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty and three [years].
Ọ chịrị Izrel iri afọ anọ. Ọ chịrị afọ asaa na Hebrọn, chịakwa iri afọ atọ na atọ na Jerusalem.
28 And he died in a good old age, full of days, riches, and honor: and Solomon his son became king in his stead.
Ọ nwụrụ mgbe ọ ghọrọ ezigbo agadi. Ọ bụkwa onye biri ogologo ndụ, onye nwekwara akụnụba na nsọpụrụ. Solomọn nwa ya nwoke nọchiri ya dịka eze.
29 And the acts of king David, the first and the last, behold, they are written in the history of Samuel the seer, and in the history of Nathan the prophet, and in the history of Gad the seer,
Ihe niile gbasara ọchịchị eze Devid, site na mmalite rụọ nʼọgwụgwụ, ka e dere nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ Samuel, onye ọhụ ụzọ, na nʼakwụkwọ Netan, onye amụma, na nʼakwụkwọ Gad onye ọhụ ụzọ.
30 Together with all his reign and his mighty deeds, and the times that passed over him, and over Israel, and over all the kingdoms of the [various] countries.
Akụkọ ndị a gosiri ihe gbasara ọchịchị eze ya, na ịdị ike ya, na ihe niile mere ya, na ihe mere ndị Izrel, na ndị eze ndị mba ọzọ bi ha gburugburu.
