1 Chronicles 29
1 And David the king says to all the assembly, “My son Solomon—the one on whom God has fixed—[is] young and tender, and the work [is] great, for the palace is not for man, but for YHWH God;
UDavida inkosi wasesithi ebandleni lonke: USolomoni indodana yami, yena yedwa uNkulunkulu amkhethileyo, usengumfana ubuthakathaka, lomsebenzi mkhulu; ngoba isigodlo kayisiso somuntu, kodwa ngeseNkosi uNkulunkulu.
2 and with all my power I have prepared for the house of my God, the gold for [things of] gold, and the silver for [things of] silver, and the bronze for [things of] bronze, the iron for [things of] iron, and the wood for [things of] wood, shoham stones, and settings, and stones of painting and of diverse colors, and all [kinds of] precious stone, and stones of white marble, in abundance.
Ngakho ngiyilungisele indlu kaNkulunkulu wami ngamandla ami wonke, igolide lokwegolide, lesiliva lokwesiliva, lethusi lokwethusi, insimbi lokwensimbi, lezigodo lokwezigodo, amatshe e-onikse lawokubekwa, amatshe akhazimulayo lalemibala, lenhlobo zonke zamatshe aligugu, lamatshe e-alibasta ngobunengi.
3 And again, because of my delighting in the house of my God, the substance I have—a peculiar treasure of gold and silver—I have given for the house of my God, even over and above all I have prepared for the holy house:
Laphezu kwakho, ngenxa yokuthanda kwami indlu kaNkulunkulu wami, nganikela indlu kaNkulunkulu wami inotho yegolide leyesiliva, engilakho, phezu kwakho konke engikulungisele indlu yendawo engcwele,
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,
amathalenta egolide azinkulungwane ezintathu egolideni leOfiri, lamathalenta esiliva elicwengekileyo azinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa, ukuhuqa imiduli yezindlu.
5 even gold for [things of] gold, and silver for [things of] silver, and for all the work by the hand of craftsmen; and who [is] he that is offering to willingly consecrate his hand to YHWH today?”
Igolide kusenzelwa okwegolide, lesiliva kusenzelwa okwesiliva, langawo wonke umsebenzi ngesandla sezingcitshi. Ngubani-ke ovumayo ukuzehlukanisela iNkosi lamuhla?
6 And the heads of the fathers, and the heads of the tribes of Israel, and the heads of the thousands, and of the hundreds, and of the heads of the work of the king, offer willingly.
Inhloko zaboyise zasezinikela ngesihle, lezinduna zezizwe zakoIsrayeli, labaphathi bezinkulungwane labamakhulu, labaphathi bomsebenzi wenkosi.
7 And they give for the service of the house of God five thousand talents and ten thousand drams of gold, and ten thousand talents of silver, and eighteen thousand talents of bronze, and one hundred thousand talents of iron;
Basebenikela emsebenzini wendlu kaNkulunkulu amathalenta azinkulungwane ezinhlanu egolide, lenhlamvu ezizinkulungwane ezilitshumi, lamathalenta esiliva azinkulungwane ezilitshumi, lamathalenta ethusi azinkulungwane ezilitshumi lesificaminwembili, lamathalenta ensimbi azinkulungwane ezilikhulu.
8 and he with whom stones are found has given [them] to the treasury of the house of YHWH, by the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite.
Lalabo okwatholwa kibo amatshe aligugu bawanika indlu yokuligugu yendlu yeNkosi ngaphansi kwesandla sikaJehiyeli umGerishoni.
9 And the people rejoice because of their offering willingly, for with a perfect heart they have offered willingly to YHWH; and David the king has also rejoiced [with] great joy.
Basebethokoza abantu ngokunikela kwabo ngesihle, ngoba ngenhliziyo epheleleyo babenikele ngothando kuNkulunkulu; loDavida inkosi laye wathokoza ngentokozo enkulu.
10 And David blesses YHWH before the eyes of all the assembly, and David says, “Blessed [are] You, YHWH, God of Israel, our Father, from age even to age.
UDavida waseyibusisa iNkosi phambi kwamehlo ebandla lonke; uDavida wathi: Kawubusiswe wena Nkosi Nkulunkulu kaIsrayeli ubaba, kusukela ephakadeni kuze kube sephakadeni.
11 To You, O YHWH, [is] the greatness, and the might, and the beauty, and the victory, and the splendor, because of all in the heavens and in the earth; to You, O YHWH, [is] the kingdom, and He who is lifting up Himself over all for head;
Kungokwakho, Nkosi, ubukhulu lamandla lodumo lokunqoba lobukhosi; ngoba konke okusemazulwini lokusemhlabeni kungokwakho; umbuso ungowakho, Nkosi; wena uziphakamisile waba yinhloko phezu kwakho konke.
12 and the riches, and the honor [are] from before You, and You are ruling over all, and in Your hand [is] power and might, and [it is] in Your hand to make great and to give strength to all.
Lenotho lodumo kuvela phambi kwakho, wena-ke ubusa phezu kwakho konke; lesandleni sakho kukhona ukuqina lamandla, lesandleni sakho kukhona ukukhulisa lokupha amandla kubo bonke.
13 And now, our God, we are giving thanks to You, and giving praise to Your beautiful Name;
Ngakho-ke Nkulunkulu wethu, siyakubonga, silidumise ibizo lakho elilodumo.
14 indeed, because who [am] I, and who [are] my people, that we retain power to offer thus willingly? But the whole [is] from You, and we have given to You out of Your [own] hand;
Ngoba mina-ke ngingubani, labantu bami bangobani, ukuthi sithole amandla okunika ngothando ngokunje? Ngoba konke kuvela kuwe, sinikele kuwe okuvela esandleni sakho.
15 for we [are] sojourners and settlers before You, like all our fathers; our days on the land [are] as a shadow, and there is none abiding.
Ngoba singabemzini phambi kwakho labahlala njengabezizwe njengabo bonke obaba; insuku zethu emhlabeni zinjengesithunzi, njalo kalikho ithemba.
16 O our God YHWH, all this store [with] which we have prepared to build a house for You, for Your Holy Name, [is] out of Your [own] hand, and the whole [is] of You.
Nkosi Nkulunkulu wethu, konke lokhu okunengi, esikulungisele ukwakhela wena indlu, kusenzelwa ibizo lakho elingcwele, kuvela esandleni sakho, njalo konke kungokwakho.
17 And I have known, my God, that You are trying the heart, and desire uprightness; I, in the uprightness of my heart, have willingly offered all these; and now, I have seen Your people who are found here with joy to offer willingly to You.
Ngiyazi-ke, Nkulunkulu wami, ukuthi wena uhlola inhliziyo, uyabuthanda ubuqotho. Mina, ebuqothweni benhliziyo yami nginikele ngesihle zonke lezizinto; khathesi sengibonile ngentokozo abantu bakho abatholakala lapha ukuthi banikela kuwe ngesihle.
18 O YHWH, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, our fathers, keep this for all time for the imagination of the thoughts of the heart of Your people, and prepare their heart for You;
Nkosi, Nkulunkulu kaAbrahama, uIsaka, loIsrayeli, obaba, gcina lokho laphakade ekuzindleni kweminakano yenhliziyo yabantu bakho, ulungise inhliziyo yabo kuwe.
19 and give a perfect heart to my son Solomon, to keep Your commands, Your testimonies, and Your statutes, and to do the whole, even to build the palace [for] which I have prepared.”
Njalo unike uSolomoni indodana yami inhliziyo epheleleyo ukugcina imilayo yakho, ubufakazi bakho, lezimiso zakho, lokwenza konke, lokwakha isigodlo engisilungiseleleyo.
20 And David says to all the assembly, “Now bless your God YHWH”; and all the assembly blesses YHWH, God of their fathers, and bows and pays respect to YHWH and to the king.
UDavida wasesithi kulo lonke ibandla: Khathesi busisani iNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu. Ibandla lonke laselibusisa iNkosi, uNkulunkulu waboyise; bakhothama bamkhonza uJehova, lenkosi.
21 And they sacrifice sacrifices to YHWH, and cause burnt-offerings to ascend to YHWH on that next day: one thousand bullocks, one thousand rams, one thousand lambs, and their oblations, and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel.
Basebehlabela imihlatshelo eNkosini, banikela iminikelo yokutshiswa eNkosini, ngokusa kwalolosuku, amajongosi azinkulungwane, izinqama eziyinkulungwane, amawundlu ayinkulungwane, kanye leminikelo yabo yokunathwayo, lemihlatshelo ngobunengi kusenzelwa uIsrayeli wonke.
22 And they eat and drink before YHWH on that day with great joy, and cause Solomon son of David to reign a second time, and anoint [him] before YHWH for leader, and Zadok for priest.
Basebesidla banatha phambi kweNkosi ngalolosuku ngentokozo enkulu. Basebembeka okwesibili uSolomoni indodana kaDavida ukuthi abe yinkosi, bamgcobela iNkosi waba ngumkhokheli, loZadoki waba ngumpristi.
23 And Solomon sits on the throne of YHWH for king instead of his father David, and prospers, and all of Israel listens to him,
USolomoni wasehlala esihlalweni sobukhosi sikaJehova njengenkosi esikhundleni sikaDavida uyise, waphumelela; loIsrayeli wonke wamlalela.
24 and all the heads, and the mighty men, and also all the sons of King David have given a hand under Solomon the king;
Lazo zonke izinduna lamaqhawe kanye lawo wonke amadodana enkosi uDavida bazehlisela ngaphansi kukaSolomoni inkosi.
25 and YHWH makes Solomon exceedingly great before the eyes of all Israel, and puts on him the splendor of the kingdom that has not been on any king over Israel before him.
INkosi yasimphakamisa uSolomoni kakhulu phambi kwamehlo kaIsrayeli wonke, yamnika ubukhosi bombuso obungazanga bube khona lakuyiphi inkosi ngaphambi kwakhe koIsrayeli.
26 And David son of Jesse has reigned over all Israel,
Ngokunjalo uDavida indodana kaJese wayebuse phezu kukaIsrayeli wonke.
27 and the days that he has reigned over Israel [are] forty years; he reigned in Hebron seven years, and he reigned in Jerusalem thirty-three;
Njalo insuku abusa ngazo phezu kukaIsrayeli zaziyiminyaka engamatshumi amane; eHebroni wabusa iminyaka eyisikhombisa, leJerusalema wabusa iminyaka engamatshumi amathathu lantathu.
28 and he dies in a good old age, satisfied with days, riches, and honor, and his son Solomon reigns in his stead.
Wasesifa eseluphele kuhle, enele ngezinsuku, inotho lodumo; uSolomoni indodana yakhe wasebusa esikhundleni sakhe.
29 And the matters of David the king, the first and the last, behold, they are written beside the matters of Samuel the seer, and beside the matters of Nathan the prophet, and beside the matters of Gad the seer,
Njalo izindaba zikaDavida inkosi, ezokuqala lezokucina, khangela, zibhaliwe egwalweni lwezindaba zikaSamuweli umboni legwalweni lwezindaba zikaNathani umprofethi legwalweni lwezindaba zikaGadi umboni,
30 with all his reign, and his might, and the times that went over him, and over Israel, and over all kingdoms of the lands.
kanye lakho konke ukubusa kwakhe lamandla akhe, lezikhathi ezedlula phezu kwakhe laphezu kukaIsrayeli laphezu kwayo yonke imibuso yamazwe.
