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 where the house of Yahweh God will be, with the altar for the burnt offerings of Israel.”

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.

So David ordered his servants to gather together the foreigners living in the land of Israel. He assigned them to be stonecutters, to cut stone blocks, in order to build God's house.

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.

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 more cedar trees than could be counted. (The Sidonians and the Tyrians brought too many cedar logs to David to count.)

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.

David said, “My son Solomon is young and inexperienced, and the house that is to be built for Yahweh must be especially magnificent, so that it will be famous and glorious in all other lands. So I will prepare for its building.” So David made extensive preparations 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 called for Solomon his son and commanded him to build a house for Yahweh, 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.

David said to Solomon, “My son, it was my intention to build a house myself, for the name of Yahweh 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 Yahweh came to me and said, 'You have shed much blood and have fought many battles. You will not build a house for my name, because you have shed much blood on the earth in my sight.

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.

However, you will have a son who will be a peaceful man. I will give him rest from all his enemies on every side. For his name will be Solomon, and I will give peace and quiet to Israel in his days.

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 build a house for my name. He will be my son, and I will be his father. I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever.'

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 Yahweh be with you and enable you to succeed. May you build the house of Yahweh your God, as he said you would.

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 Yahweh give you insight and understanding, so that you may obey the law of Yahweh your God, when he places you in charge over Israel.

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.

Then you will succeed, if you carefully obey the statutes and the decrees that Yahweh gave to Moses concerning Israel. Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be discouraged.

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, at great effort I have prepared for Yahweh's house 100,000 talents of gold, one million talents of silver, and bronze and iron in large quantities. I have also provided timber and stone. You must add more to all this.

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.

who can work with gold, silver, bronze, and iron. Arise and begin the work, and may Yahweh be with you.”

17 And he commanded David to all [the] officials of Israel to help Solomon son his.

David also ordered all the leaders of Israel to help 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.

“Yahweh your God is with you and has given you peace on every side. He has given the region's inhabitants into my hand. The region is subdued before Yahweh and 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 seek Yahweh your God with all your heart and your soul. Get up and build the holy place of Yahweh God. Then you can bring the ark of the covenant of Yahweh and the things that belong to God into the house built for Yahweh's name.”
