1 Chronicles 29
1 David the king said to all the assembly, "Solomon my son, whom alone God has chosen, is yet young and tender, and the work is great; for the palace is not for man, but for the LORD God.
Mfalme Daudi akasema kwa kusanyiko lote, “Sulemani mwanangu, ambaye mwenyewe Mungu amemchagu, bado nimdogo na hana uzoefu, na jukumu ni kubwa. Maana hekalu sio kwa ajili ya watu bali la Mungu.
2 Now I have prepared with all my might for the house of my God the gold for the things of gold, and the silver for the things of silver, and the bronze for the things of bronze, the iron for the things of iron, and wood for the things of wood; onyx stones, and stones to be set, stones for inlaid work, and of various colors, and all kinds of precious stones, and marble stones in abundance.
Hivyo nimefanya kwa ubora wangu kutoa kwa ajili ya hekalu la Mungu. Nina toa dhahabu kwa vitu vya kujengwa na dhahabu, fedha kwa vitu vya kujengwa na fedha, shaba kwa vitu vya kujengwa na shaba, nishati kwa vitu vya kujengwa na nishati, na mbao kwa vitu vya kujengwa na mbao. Pia nina toa mawe ya shohamu, mawe ya kupangwa, mawe ya upambaji wandani ya rangi mbali mbali - kila haina ya mawe ya thamani - na marimari kwa wingi.
3 In addition, because I have set my affection on the house of my God, since I have a treasure of my own of gold and silver, I give it to the house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the holy house,
Sasa, kwasababu ya mapenzi yangu kwa nyumba ya Mungu, Ninatoa hazina yangu binafsi ya dhahabu na fedha. Ninafanya hivi kwa nyongeza kwa yote niliyofanya katika hekalu takatifu:
4 even three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of refined silver, with which to overlay the walls of the houses;
talanta za dhahabu elfu tatu kutoka Ofiri, na talanta elfu saba za fedha zilizotakasika, ili kufunika kuta za majengo.
5 of gold for the things of gold, and of silver for the things of silver, and for all kinds of work to be made by the hands of artisans. Who then offers willingly to consecrate himself this day to the LORD?"
Ninachangia dhahabu kwa vitu vya kujengwa na dhahabu, na fedha kwa vitu vya kujengwa na fedha, na kazi zote zinazotakiwa kufanywa na wajenzi. Nani mwingine anataka kuchangia kwa Yahweh leo na kujitoa kwake?”
6 Then the leaders of the ancestral houses, and the leaders of the tribes of Israel, and the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, with the officers over the king's work, offered willingly;
Kisha sadaka za hiari zilitolewa na viongozi wa mababu wa familia zao, viongozi wa makabila ya Israeli, wakuu wa maelfu na mamia, na waamuzi waliojuu ya kazi ya mfalme.
7 and they gave for the service of God's house of gold five thousand talents and ten thousand darics, and of silver ten thousand talents, and of bronze eighteen thousand talents, and of iron a hundred thousand talents.
Walitoa kwa ajili ya huduma ya nyumba ya Mungu talanta elfu tano na darkoni elfu kumi za dhahabu, talanta elfu kumi za fedha, talanta elfu nane za fedha, na talanta za chuma 100, 000.
8 They with whom precious stones were found gave them to the treasure of the house of the LORD, under the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite.
Haao walio na mawe ya thamani waliyatoa katika Hazina ya nyumba Yahweh, chini ya usimamizi wa Yehieli, mzao wa Gerishoni.
9 Then the people rejoiced, because they offered willingly, because with a perfect heart they offered willingly to the LORD: and David the king also rejoiced with great joy.
Watu walifurahi kwa ajili ya hizi sadaka za hiari, kwasababu walitoa kwa moyo wao wote kwa Yahweh. Mfalme Daudi pia alifurahi sana.
10 Therefore David blessed the LORD before all the assembly; and David said, "You are blessed, LORD, the God of Israel our father, forever and ever.
Daudi alimbariki Yahweh mbele ya kusanyiko lote. Alisema, “Na uabudiwe, Yahweh, Mungu wa Israeli babu wetu, milele na milele.
11 Yours, LORD, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty. For all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, LORD, and you are exalted as head above all.
Kwako, Yahweh, kuna ukuu, nguvu, utukufu, ushindi, na enzi. Kwa kuwa yote yalio mbinguni na duniani ni yako. Kwako ni ufalme, Yahweh, na umetukuzwa kama mtawala juu ya vyote.
12 Both riches and honor come from you, and you rule 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.
Utajiri na heshima utoka kwako, unatawala juu ya watu wote. Mkononi mwako kuna nguvu na uwezo. Unao uweza na nguvu ya kuwafanya watu kuwa mkuu na kumpa uweza yeyote.
13 Now therefore, our God, we thank you, and praise your glorious name.
Kisha sasa, Mungu wetu, tunakushukuru na kusifu jina lako tukufu.
14 But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly as this? For all things come from you, and of your own have we given you.
Lakini mimi ni nani, na watu wangu ni nani, tustahili kutoa kwa hiari hivi vitu? Kweli, vitu vyote vya toka kwako, na tumerudisha kwako vilivyo vyako.
15 For we are strangers before you, and foreigners, as all our fathers were. Our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is no remaining.
Kwa kuwa sisi ni wageni na wasafiri mbele zako, mababu zetu wote walikuwa. Siku zetu katika dunia ni kama kivuli, na hakuna tumaini la kubaki duniani.
16 The LORD our God, all this store that we have prepared to build you a house for your holy name comes from your hand, and is all your own.
Yahweh Mungu wetu, utajiri wote tulio kusanya kujenga hekalu kwa kuheshimu jina lako - watoka kwako na ni wako.
17 I know also, my God, that you try the heart, and have pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of my heart I have willingly offered all these things. Now have I seen with joy your people, that are present here, offer willingly to you.
Ninajua, Mungu wangu, unachunguza moyo na wapendezwa na unyofu. Kwangu mimi, kwa unyofu wa moyo wangu nimetoa kwa hiari vitu vyote, na sasa natazama kwa furaha watu walio hapa wakitoa tunu kwako.
18 The LORD, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, our fathers, keep this forever in the imagination of the thoughts of the heart of your people, and prepare their heart for you;
yahweh, Mungu wa Ibrahimu, Isaka, na Israeli - mababu zetu - hifadhi hili katika fikra za watu wako. Elekeza mioyo yao kwako.
19 and give to Solomon my son a perfect heart, to keep your commandments, your testimonies, and your statutes, and to do all these things, and to build the palace, for which I have made provision."
Mjalie Sulemani mwanangu moyo wa shauku wakutii amri zako, shuhuda za agano lako, na maagizo yako, na kutekeleza mipango hii yote ya kujenga nyumba niliyoiandaa.”
20 David said to all the assembly, "Now bless the LORD your God." All the assembly blessed the LORD, the God of their fathers, and bowed down their heads and prostrated themselves before the LORD and the king.
Daudi akasema kwa kusanyiko lote, “Sasa mbariki Yahweh Mungu wenu.” Kusanyiko lote likambariki Yahweh, Munug wa mababu zao, wakainamisha vichwa vyao na kumuabudu Yahweh na kusujudu mbele za mfalme.
21 They sacrificed sacrifices to the LORD, and offered burnt offerings to the LORD, on the next day after that day, even one thousand bulls, one thousand rams, and one thousand lambs, with their drink offerings, and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel,
Kwa siku iliyo fuata, wakatoa dhabiu kwa Yahweh na kumtolea sadaka ya kuteketeza. Walitoa sadaka ya ng'ombe elfu moja, kondoo elfu moja, na wana kondoo elfu moja, pamoja na sadaka zao za vinywaji na dhabihu tele kwa Israeli yote.
22 and ate and drink before the LORD on that day with great gladness. They made Solomon the son of David king the second time, and they anointed him to the LORD to be prince, and Zadok to be priest.
Siku ile, walikunywa na kula mbele za Yahweh kwa furaha tele. Walimfanya Sulemani, mwana wa Daudi, mfalme mara ya pili, na kumpaka mafuta ya mamlaka ya Yahweh kuwa mfalme. Pia walimpaka Zadoki mafuta kuwa mfalme.
23 Then Solomon sat on the throne of the LORD as king instead of David his father, and prospered; and all Israel obeyed him.
Kisha Sulemani akaketi kwenye kiti cha enzi cha Yahweh kama mfalme baada ya Daudi baba yake. Alifanikiwa, na Israeli yote ikamtii.
24 And all the leaders, the mighty men, and also all of the sons of king David submitted themselves to Solomon the king.
Viongozi wote, wanajeshi, na Mfalme Daudi wanae wakaonyesha utii kwa Mfalme Sulemani.
25 The LORD magnified Solomon exceedingly in the sight of all Israel, and bestowed on him such royal majesty as had not been on any king before him in Israel.
Yahweh alimheshimu sana Sulemani na kumkirimia nguvu kubwa kuliko mfalme yeyote aliyetangulia kabla yake Israeli.
26 Now David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel.
Daudi mwana wa Yese alitawala Israeli yote.
27 The time that he reigned over Israel was forty years; he reigned seven years in Hebron, and he reigned thirty-three years in Jerusalem.
Daudi alikuwa mfalme wa Israeli kwa miaka arobaini. Alitawala kwa miaka saba Hebroni na miaka thelathini na tatu Yerusalemu.
28 He died in a good old age, full of days, riches, and honor: and Solomon his son reigned in his place.
Alikufa katika umri mzuri mkubwa, baada ya kufurahia maisha marefu, utajiri na heshima. Sulemani mwanae alitawala baada yake.
29 Now the acts of David the king, first and last, look, 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,
Mafanikio ya mfalme Daudi yameandikwa katika historia ya Samweli nabii, katika historia ya Nathani nabii, na katika historia ya Gadi nabii.
30 with all his reign and his might, and the times that went over him, and over Israel, and over all the kingdoms of the countries.
Yalio ekwa kwenye kumbukumbu ni matendo ya utawala wake, mafanikio yake na mambo yalio mdhuru, Israeli, na falme zote za nchi zingine.
