1 Chronicles 29
1 Then said David the king unto all the convocation, Solomon my son, the one, of whom God hath made choice, is young and tender, —and, the work, is great, seeing that, not for man, is the palace, but for Yahweh Elohim.
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 And, with all my might, have I made preparation for the house of my God, the gold for the gold, and the silver for the silver, and the bronze for the bronze, the iron for the iron, and the wood for the wood, —and beryl stones and settings, stones coloured and particoloured, and all manner of precious stones and stones of white marble, 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 And yet further, because of my delighting in the house of my God, having a treasure of mine own in gold and silver, I have given for the house of my God, above and beyond 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 three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of Ophir, —and seven thousand talents of refined silver, for overlaying the walls of the recesses.
talanta za dhahabu elfu tatu kutoka Ofiri, na talanta elfu saba za fedha zilizotakasika, ili kufunika kuta za majengo.
5 Of gold for the gold, and of silver for the silver, and for all manner of work in the hand of artificers, —Who then is ready to offer willingly, by filling his hand to-day, unto Yahweh?
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 offered they willingly—the ancestral rulers and the rulers of the tribes of Israel, and the rulers of thousands and hundreds, even to the rulers of the work of the king;
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 gave for the service of the house of God, of gold, five thousand talents and ten thousand drams, and, of silver, ten thousand talents, and, of bronze, eighteen thousand talents, —and, of iron, one 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 And, every one with whom were found precious stones, gave to the treasure of the house of Yahweh, —unto 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 So the people rejoiced because they willingly offered, for, with a perfect heart, offered they willingly unto Yahweh, —moreover also, David the king, 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 did David bless Yahweh in the eyes of all the convocation, —and David said, Blessed art thou, O Yahweh, the God of Israel our father, from age even unto age.
Daudi alimbariki Yahweh mbele ya kusanyiko lote. Alisema, “Na uabudiwe, Yahweh, Mungu wa Israeli babu wetu, milele na milele.
11 Thine, O Yahweh, are Greatness, and Might, and Beauty, and Victory, and Majesty, nay! all in the heavens and in the earth, —thine, O Yahweh, is the kingdom, who art exalted above all, —as chief;
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 and, riches and honour, are from before thee, and, thou, art ruling over all, and, in thy hand, are power and might, —and, in thy hand, it is, to give greatness and strength unto any.
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, O our God, we are giving thanks unto thee, —and offering praise, unto thy beautiful Name.
Kisha sasa, Mungu wetu, tunakushukuru na kusifu jina lako tukufu.
14 And yet, who am, I, and who are my people, that we should be able to offer willingly like this? for, from thee, is the whole, and, out of thine own hand, have we given unto thee;
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, sojourners, are we before thee, and strangers, like all our fathers, —like a shadow, are our days upon the earth, and there is no hope.
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 O Yahweh our God, all this abundance which we have prepared, to build thee a house for thy holy Name, out of thine own hand, it is, and, thine, is the whole.
Yahweh Mungu wetu, utajiri wote tulio kusanya kujenga hekalu kwa kuheshimu jina lako - watoka kwako na ni wako.
17 But I know, O my God, that, thou, art proving the heart, and, with uprightness, wilt thou be pleased, —I, in the uprightness of my heart, have willingly offered all these things, now, therefore, thy people who are found here, have I seen with joy, offering willingly unto thee.
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 O Yahweh, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, our fathers, oh guard this age-abidingly, as the devised purpose of the heart of thy people, —and establish thou their heart, unto thyself.
yahweh, Mungu wa Ibrahimu, Isaka, na Israeli - mababu zetu - hifadhi hili katika fikra za watu wako. Elekeza mioyo yao kwako.
19 Also, unto Solomon my son, give thou an undivided heart, to keep thy commandments, thy testimonies, and thy statutes, —to do the whole, and to build the palace for which I have prepared.
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 Then said David, unto all the convocation, Bless, I beseech you, Yahweh your God. So all the convocation blessed Yahweh, the God of their fathers, and did bend their heads and bow themselves down unto Yahweh, and unto 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 and sacrificed unto Yahweh sacrifices, and caused to go up ascending-offerings unto Yahweh, on the morrow of that day, a thousand bullocks, a thousand rams, a thousand young sheep, and the drink-offerings thereof, —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 so they did eat and drink before Yahweh on that day, with great joy, —and they, the second time, made Solomon son of David king, and anointed him unto Yahweh to be chief ruler, 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 So Solomon took his seat upon the throne of Yahweh, as king, instead of David his father, and prospered, —and all Israel, hearkened unto 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 rulers, and the heroes, yea moreover all the sons of King David, gave a hand, under Solomon the king.
Viongozi wote, wanajeshi, na Mfalme Daudi wanae wakaonyesha utii kwa Mfalme Sulemani.
25 And Yahweh magnified Solomon, exceedingly, before the eyes of all Israel, —and gave unto him a royal majesty, that had not been on any king before him, over Israel.
Yahweh alimheshimu sana Sulemani na kumkirimia nguvu kubwa kuliko mfalme yeyote aliyetangulia kabla yake Israeli.
26 Thus, David son of Jesse, reigned over all Israel;
Daudi mwana wa Yese alitawala Israeli yote.
27 and, the days that he reigned over Israel, were forty years, —in Hebron reigned he seven years, and in Jerusalem, reigned he, thirty-three.
Daudi alikuwa mfalme wa Israeli kwa miaka arobaini. Alitawala kwa miaka saba Hebroni na miaka thelathini na tatu Yerusalemu.
28 And he died in a good old age, satisfied with days, riches and honour, —and Solomon his son reigned in his stead.
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, behold them! written in the records of Samuel the seer, and in the records of Nathan the prophet, and in the records 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 which passed over him, and over Israel, and over all the kingdoms of the lands.
Yalio ekwa kwenye kumbukumbu ni matendo ya utawala wake, mafanikio yake na mambo yalio mdhuru, Israeli, na falme zote za nchi zingine.
