1 Chronicles 22
1 Then David said, “Here, [at the edge of Jerusalem, ] is where [we will build] the temple for our God Yahweh, and where [we will make] the altar for burning the offerings that the Israeli [people will bring].”
Ndipo Davide anati, “Nyumba ya Yehova Mulungu idzakhala pano, ndiponso guwa lansembe zopsereza za Israeli.”
2 So David commanded that the foreigners who lived in Israel must gather together. [When they did that, ] he appointed [some of those] men to [cut huge] stones [from the quarries] and to smooth their surfaces, to be used to build the temple of God.
Choncho Davide analamula kuti asonkhanitse alendo onse amene amakhala mu Israeli ndipo kuchokera pakati pawo anasankha amisiri a miyala kuti aseme miyala yomangira nyumba ya Mulungu.
3 David provided a large amount of iron for making nails and hinges for the doors in the gates of the temple. He also provided so much bronze [for making the altar and various utensils], that no one could weigh it all.
Ndipo anapereka zitsulo zambiri zopangira misomali ya zitseko za pa zipata ndi zolumikiza zake. Anaperekanso mkuwa wochuluka wokanika kuwuyeza.
4 He also provided [money for buying] a large amount of cedar logs. Because there was a huge number of them, no one was able to count them. Those were logs that men from Tyre and Sidon [cities] sent to David.
Iye anaperekanso mitengo yambiri ya mkungudza, yosawerengeka, pakuti anthu a ku Sidoni ndi a ku Turo anabweretsa yambiri kwa Davide.
5 David [provided all those things because he] thought, “My son Solomon is still young and he does not know what he needs to know [about building], and the temple of Yahweh must be (magnificent/very beautiful). It must be a glorious building that will become famous, and people throughout the world must consider it to be glorious/splendid. So now I will begin to prepare for it to be built, [and Solomon will be responsible for building it].” So David collected a great amount of building materials before he died.
Davide anati, “Mwana wanga Solomoni ndi wamngʼono ndipo sadziwa zambiri. Koma nyumba yomwe timangire Yehova iyenera kukhala yaulemerero, yotchuka ndi yokongola pamaso pa anthu a mitundu yonse. Choncho ndikonzekeratu zambiri.” Motero Davide anayikonzekera kwambiri asanamwalire.
6 [When] David [was old, he] summoned his son Solomon, and told him that he should arrange for a temple to be built for Yahweh, the God whom the Israelis [worshiped].
Tsono iye anayitana Solomoni mwana wake ndipo anamulamula kuti adzamangire nyumba Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli.
7 He said to him, “I wanted [IDM] to build a temple to honor [MTY] Yahweh, my God.
Davide anati kwa Solomoni, “Mwana wanga, ine ndinali ndi maganizo oti ndimangire nyumba Dzina la Yehova Mulungu wanga.
8 But Yahweh told [a prophet to tell] me, ‘You have killed many men [MTY] in the battles that you have fought. I have seen the blood of all the people whom you killed, so you will not be the one who will arrange for a temple to be built to honor me [MTY].
Koma Yehova anandiyankhula kuti, ‘Iwe wapha anthu ambiri ndiponso wachita nkhondo zambiri. Sumangira dzina langa nyumba chifukwa wapha anthu ambiri pa dziko lapansi pamaso panga.
9 But you will have a son [who will be king of Israel after you die]. He will be a man who is peaceful and quiet, [not a man who kills others]. And I will cause that there will be peace between him and his enemies who are in all the nearby lands. His name will be Solomon, [which sounds like the word for peace]. During the time that he is king, people in Israel will be peaceful and safe.
Koma udzabala mwana wamwamuna amene adzakhala munthu wamtendere ndi wabata ndipo ndidzamupatsa mpumulo kuchokera kwa adani ake onse a mbali zonse. Dzina lake adzatchedwa Solomoni ndipo Ine ndidzapereka mtendere ndi bata kwa Israeli pa nthawi ya ulamuliro wake.
10 He is the one who will arrange for a temple to be built to honor me [MTY]. He will be [like] a son to me, and I will cause some of his descendants to rule [MTY] over Israel forever [HYP].’
Iye ndiye adzandimangire nyumba. Adzakhala mwana wanga ndipo Ine ndidzakhala abambo ake. Ndipo ndidzakhazikitsa mpando wake waufumu mʼdziko la Israeli mpaka muyaya.’”
11 “So now, my son, I hope/wish that Yahweh will help you, and enable you to be successful in arranging for building the temple of Yahweh, your God, which is what he said that you would do.
“Tsopano mwana wanga, Yehova akhale nawe ndipo upambane ndi kumanga Nyumba ya Yehova Mulungu wako, monga momwe Iye ananenera kuti udzatero.
12 I also hope/wish that he will enable you to be wise and to understand what you need to know, and enable you to obey his laws while you rule over Israel.
Yehova akupatse nzeru ndi kumvetsetsa pamene Iye adzakuyika kukhala wolamulira Israeli, kuti udzasunge malamulo a Yehova Mulungu wako.
13 If you carefully obey all the laws and regulations/commands that Yahweh gave to Moses to give to us Israeli people, you will be successful. So be steadfast/strong and courageous. Do not be afraid of anything, and do not become discouraged!
Ndipo udzapambana ngati udzamvera mosamala malangizo ndi malamulo amene Yehova anapereka kwa Aisraeli kudzera mwa Mose. Khala wamphamvu ndi wolimba mtima. Usachite mantha kapena kutaya mtima.
14 “I have tried hard to provide [materials] for [building] the temple of Yahweh. I have provided nearly 4,000 tons of gold, and nearly 40,000 tons of silver. I have also provided a very large amount of iron and bronze; no one has been able to weigh it all. I have also gathered/provided lumber and stone [for the walls of the temple], but you may need to get some more of those things.
“Ine movutikira kwambiri ndapereka ku Nyumba ya Mulungu matani 3,400 agolide, matani 34,000 asiliva, ndiponso mkuwa ndi chitsulo, matabwa ndi miyala. Ndipo iwe utha kuwonjezerapo pa zimenezi.
15 There are many men [in Israel] who have good ability to cut big stones for making stone walls, and carpenters, and men who are very skilled at making various kinds of things.
Iwe uli ndi antchito ambiri: osema miyala, amisiri a miyala, ndi amisiri a matabwa, komanso anthu ambiri aluso la ntchito zosiyanasiyana,
16 There are many men who know how to make things from gold and silver and bronze and iron. So now [I say to you], begin the work [of building the temple], and I hope/wish that Yahweh will help/be with you.”
zagolide ndi zasiliva, zamkuwa, zazitsulo, amisiri osawerengeka. Tsopano yamba ntchito, ndipo Yehova akhale nawe.”
17 Then David commanded that all the Israeli leaders must assist Solomon. He said to them,
Tsono Davide analamula atsogoleri onse a Israeli kuti athandize Solomoni mwana wake.
18 “Yahweh our God is certainly with/helping you [RHQ]. He has allowed you to have peace with all the nearby nations [RHQ]. He has enabled my [army] to conquer [IDM] them, so now Yahweh and my people control them.
Iye anawawuza kuti, “Kodi Yehova Mulungu, sali nanu? Ndipo Iye siwakupatsani mpumulo mbali zonse? Pakuti Iyeyo wapereka eni nthaka kwa inu ndipo dziko lili pa ulamuliro wa Yehova ndi anthu ake.
19 Now you must obey Yahweh completely. Help Solomon to arrange for building the temple for Yahweh God, in order that you can bring the Sacred Chest that contains the Ten Commandments and the other sacred items that belong to God into the temple that you will build to honor Yahweh.”
Tsono perekani mtima wanu ndi moyo wanu kufunafuna Yehova Mulungu wanu. Yambani kumanga malo opatulika a Yehova Mulungu, kuti mubweretse Bokosi la Chipangano la Yehova ndi zinthu zopatulika za Mulungu mʼNyumba ya Mulungu imene idzamangidwa chifukwa cha dzina la Yehova.”
