< 1 Chronicles 22 >

1 And he said David this it [is] [the] house Yahweh God and this [is the] altar for burnt offering for Israel.
Then David said, This is the house of the Lord God, and this is the altar for Israel's burned offerings.
2 And he said David to gather the sojourners who [were] in [the] land of Israel and he appointed stone cutters to cut stones of hewn [stone] to build [the] house of God.
And David gave orders to get together all the men from strange lands who were in the land of Israel; and he put stone-cutters to work, cutting stones for building the house of God.
3 And iron - to abundance for the nails for [the] doors of the gates and for the clamps he prepared David and bronze to abundance there not [was] weight.
And he got together a great store of iron, for the nails for the doors and for the joins; and brass, more in weight than might be measured;
4 And wood of cedar to there not [was] number for they had brought the Sidonians and the Tyrians wood of cedar to abundance to David.
And cedar-trees without number, for the Zidonians and the men of Tyre came with a great amount of cedar-trees for David.
5 And he said David Solomon son my [is] a youth and weak and the house to build for Yahweh [is] to make great - upwards for a name and for honor to all the lands I will prepare please for it and he prepared David to abundance before death his.
And David said, Solomon my son is young and untested, and the house which is to be put up for the Lord is to be very great, a thing of wonder and glory through all countries; so I will make ready what is needed for it. So David got ready a great store of material before his death.
6 And he summoned Solomon son his and he commanded him to build a house for Yahweh [the] God of Israel.
Then he sent for his son Solomon, and gave him orders for the building of a house for the Lord, the God of Israel.
7 And he said David to Solomon (O son my *Q(K)*) I it was with heart my to build a house for [the] name of Yahweh God my.
And David said to Solomon, My son, it was my desire to put up a house for the name of the Lord my God.
8 And it came to me [the] word of Yahweh saying blood to abundance you have shed and wars great you have made not you will build a house for name my for blood much you have shed [the] ground towards before me.
But the word of the Lord came to me saying, You have taken lives without number and made great wars; I will not let you be the builder of a house for my name, because of the lives you have taken on the earth before my eyes.
9 Here! a son [is] about to be born to you he he will be a man of rest and I will give rest to him from all enemies his from round about for Solomon it will be name his and peace and quietness I will give to Israel in days his.
But you will have a son who will be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from wars on every side. His name will be Solomon, and in his time I will give Israel peace and quiet;
10 He he will build a house for name my and he he will become of me a son and I of him a father and I will establish [the] throne of kingdom his over Israel until perpetuity.
He will be the builder of a house for my name; he will be to me a son, and I will be to him a father; and I will make the seat of his rule over Israel certain for ever.
11 Now O son my may he be Yahweh with you and you will be successful and you will build [the] house of Yahweh God your just as he spoke on you.
Now, my son, may the Lord be with you; and may you do well, and put up the house of the Lord your God, as he has said of you.
12 Only may he give to you Yahweh insight and understanding and he will appoint you over Israel and to keep [the] law of Yahweh God your.
Only may the Lord give you wisdom, and knowledge of his orders for Israel, so that you may keep the law of the Lord your God.
13 Then you will be successful if you will take care to observe the statutes and the judgments which he commanded Yahweh Moses on Israel be strong and be courageous may not you be afraid and may not you be dismayed.
And all will go well for you, if you take care to keep the laws and the rules which the Lord gave to Moses for Israel: be strong and take heart; have no fear and do not be troubled.
14 And here! in affliction my I have prepared for [the] house of Yahweh gold talents one hundred thousand and silver one thousand thousand talents and [belongs] to the bronze and to the iron not weight for to abundance it is and wood and stone I have prepared and to them you will add.
Now see, poor though I am, I have got ready for the house of the Lord a hundred thousand talents of gold and a million talents of silver; and a weight of brass and iron greater than may be measured; and wood and stone have I made ready, and you may put more to it.
15 And [are] with you to abundance doers of work stone cutters and craftsmen of stone and wood and every skillful [person] in every work.
And you have a great number of workmen, cutters and workers of stone and wood, and experts in every sort of work,
16 Of gold of silver and of bronze and of iron there not [is] number arise and act so may he be Yahweh with you.
In gold and silver and brass and iron more than may be numbered. Up! then, and to work; and may the Lord be with you.
17 And he commanded David to all [the] officials of Israel to help Solomon son his.
Then David gave orders to all the chiefs of Israel to give their help to Solomon his son, saying,
18 ¿ Not [is] Yahweh God your with you and has he given rest? to you from round about for - he has given in hand my [the] inhabitants of the land and it has been subdued the land before Yahweh and before people his.
Is not the Lord your God with you? and has he not given you rest on every side? for the Lord has given the people of the land into my hands, and the land is overcome before the Lord and before his people.
19 Now set heart your and being your to seek Yahweh God your and arise and build [the] sanctuary of Yahweh God to bring [the] ark of [the] covenant of Yahweh and [the] articles of holiness of God to the house that will be built for [the] name of Yahweh.
Now give your heart and soul to the worship of the Lord your God; and get to work on the building of the holy place of the Lord God, so that you may put the ark of the Lord's agreement and the holy vessels of God in the house which is to be made for the name of the Lord.
