< 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].”
At sinabi ni David, “Dito itatayo ang tahanan ng Diyos na si Yahweh, kasama ang altar para sa mga handog na susunugin ng Israel.”
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.
Kaya inutosan ni David ang kaniyang mga lingkod na tipunin ang mga dayuhang nakatira sa lupain ng Israel. Itinalaga niya sila na maging mga taga-tapyas ng bato, upang tumapyas ng mga malalaking bato, upang maitayo ang tahanan ng Diyos.
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.
Nagbigay si David ng maraming bakal para sa mga pako sa mga pintuan patungo sa mga daanan at para sa mga bisagra. Nagbigay rin siya ng maraming tanso na hindi kayang timbangin,
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.
at maraming puno ng sedar na hindi mabilang. (Nagdala ng napakaraming troso ng sedar ang mga taga-Sidon at mga taga-Tiron na hindi kayang bilangin ni David.)
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.
Sinabi ni David, “Ang aking anak na si Solomon ay bata at wala pang karanasan, at ang tahanan na itatayo para kay Yahweh ay dapat na bukod-tanging kahanga-hanga, nang sa gayon ito ay maging tanyag at maluwalhati sa lahat ng ibang lupain. Kaya maghahanda ako para sa pagtatayo nito.” Kaya gumawa si David ng malawakang paghahanda bago ang kaniyang kamatayan.
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].
Pagkatapos ay tinawag niya ang kaniyang anak na si Solomon at inutusan siya na magtayo ng isang tahanan para kay Yahweh, ang Diyos ng Israel.
7 He said to him, “I wanted [IDM] to build a temple to honor [MTY] Yahweh, my God.
Sinabi ni David kay Solomon, “Anak ko, hangarin ko ito na ako mismo ang magtayo ng tahanan, para sa pangalan ni Yahweh na aking Diyos.
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].
Ngunit dumating si Yahweh sa akin at sinabi, 'Marami ka ng pinadanak na dugo at nakipaglaban sa maraming labanan. Hindi ikaw ang magtatayo ng tahanan para sa aking pangalan, dahil marami ka ng pinadanak na dugo sa mundo sa aking paningin.
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.
Gayunpaman, magkakaroon ka ng isang anak na lalaki na magiging payapang tao. Bibigyan ko siya ng kapahingahan mula sa lahat ng kaniyang kaaway sa bawat panig. Sapagkat Solomon ang kaniyang magiging pangalan, at bibigyan ko ng kapayapaan at katahimikan ang Israel sa kaniyang mga araw.
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].’
Magtatayo siya ng isang tahanan para sa aking pangalan. Magiging anak ko siya at ako ang magiging ama niya. Itatatag ko ang trono ng kaniyang kaharian sa buong Israel magpakailanman.”
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.
“Ngayon, aking anak, samahan ka nawa ni Yahweh at bigyan ka niya ng kakayahan upang magtagumpay. Maitayo mo nawa ang tahanan ni Yahweh na iyong Diyos, gaya ng sinabi niya na gagawin mo.
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.
Tanging si Yahweh nawa ang magbigay sa iyo ng kaalaman at pang-unawa upang masunod mo ang batas ni Yahweh na iyong Diyos, kapag inilagay ka niyang tagapamahala sa buong Israel.
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!
At magtatagumpay ka, kung maingat mong susundin ang mga tuntunin at mga kautusan na ibinigay ni Yahweh kay Moises para sa Israel. Maging matatag ka at lakasan mo ang iyong loob. Huwag kang matakot o panghinaan ng loob.
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.
Ngayon, tingnan mo, buong pagsisikap kong inihanda para sa tahanan ni Yahweh ang 100, 000 talento ng ginto, isang milyong talento ng pilak, tanso at maraming bilang ng bakal. Nagbigay rin ako ng troso at bato. Dapat mo pang dagdagan ang lahat ng mga ito.
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.
Mayroon kang maraming manggagawa na makakasama mo, mga taga-tapyas ng bato, mga mason, mga karpintero at mga mahuhusay na manggagawa ng iba't ibang mga bagay na hindi mabilang,
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.”
na may kakayahang gumawa sa ginto, pilak, tanso at bakal. Kaya simulan mo ng magtrabaho at samahan ka nawa ni Yahweh.”
17 Then David commanded that all the Israeli leaders must assist Solomon. He said to them,
Ipinag-utos rin ni David sa lahat ng mga pinuno ng Israel na tulungan ang kaniyang anak na si Solomon, sinasabi,
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.
“Si Yahweh na inyong Diyos ay kasama ninyo at binigyan kayo ng kapayapaan sa bawat panig. Ibinigay niya sa akin ang lahat ng mga nakatira sa rehiyon. Nasakop ni Yahweh ang rehiyon at ang mga tao nito.
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.”
Ngayon hanapin ninyo si Yahweh na inyong Diyos nang buong puso at kaluluwa. Tumayo kayo at itayo ang banal na lugar ng Diyos na si Yahweh. At maaari na ninyong dalhin ang kaban ng tipan ni Yahweh at ang mga bagay na pag-aari ng Diyos sa tahanan na itinayo para sa pangalan ni Yahweh.”
