1 Chronicles 29
1 Then King David said to all the people who had gathered there, “My son Solomon, the one whom God has chosen [to be the next king], is young and does not have much experience. This work [of building the temple] is great/important, because this glorious building will not be to [honor] people, but to honor Yahweh our God.
Ningĩ Mũthamaki Daudi akĩĩra kĩũngano kĩu gĩothe atĩrĩ: “Mũriũ wakwa Solomoni, ũrĩa Ngai athuurĩte, nĩ mwĩthĩ na ndarĩ na ũmenyo wa kũigana. Wĩra ũyũ nĩ mũnene, tondũ nyũmba ĩno ĩhaana ta ya ũthamaki ti ya mũndũ no nĩ ya Jehova Ngai.
2 From all the things that I possess, I have provided [what will be needed] to [build] the temple of my God—the gold for the things to be made of gold, the silver for the things to be made of silver, bronze for the things to be made of bronze, iron for the things to be made of iron, wood for the things to be made of wood, and large amounts of onyx and turquoise and other valuable stones of various colors, and marble and all kinds of valuable stones.
Nĩnjigithĩtie indo na ũhoti wakwa wothe nĩ ũndũ wa hekarũ ya Ngai wakwa, ngaiga thahabu nĩ ũndũ wa gũthondeka indo cia thahabu, na betha nĩ ũndũ wa gũthondeka indo cia betha, na gĩcango nĩ ũndũ wa gũthondeka indo cia gĩcango, na kĩgera nĩ ũndũ wa gũthondeka indo cia kĩgera, na mbaũ nĩ ũndũ wa gũthondeka indo cia mbaũ, o na tũhiga tũrĩa twĩtagwo onigithi tũrĩa tũtheecagĩrĩrwo indo-inĩ, na tũhiga tũrĩa tũhenagia twa kũgemia nyũmba, na tũhiga twa rangi wa mĩthemba mĩingĩ, na tũhiga twa goro twa mĩthemba mĩingĩ, na mahiga ma nyaigĩ ma mũthemba ũrĩa mwega, indo icio ciothe ngaigithia irĩ nyingĩ mũno.
3 In addition to all these things that I have given for the temple, I am giving treasures of gold and silver, because I very much desire that this holy temple for my God be built.
Makĩria ma ũguo, harĩ kwĩrutĩra gwakwa igũrũ rĩa hekarũ ya Ngai wakwa nĩngũheana kĩgĩĩna gĩakwa mwene gĩa thahabu na betha nĩ ũndũ wa hekarũ ya Ngai wakwa, na icio ngũciheana nyongerere kĩrĩa kĩngĩ njigithĩtie nĩ ũndũ wa hekarũ ĩno theru:
4 I am giving 110 tons of gold from Ophir and 260 tons of refined silver to cover the walls of the buildings,
ngũheana taranda ngiri ithatũ cia thahabu, o thahabu ĩrĩa ya Ofiri, na taranda ngiri mũgwanja cia betha ĩrĩa therie nĩ ũndũ wa kũgemia thingo cia nyũmba,
5 for making the other items of gold and silver, and for the other work to be done by the craftsmen. So now, [I ask you], are there others willing to show [by contributing other gifts for the building of the temple] [EUP] that they have dedicated themselves to Yahweh?”
o na nĩ ũndũ wa wĩra wa thahabu na indo cia wĩra wa betha ũrĩa wothe ũkaarutwo nĩ mabundi. Na rĩrĩ, nũũ ũkwĩĩamũrĩra Jehova ũmũthĩ na kwĩyendera?”
6 Then the leaders of the families/clans, the leaders of the tribes of Israel, the commanders of 1,000 soldiers and the commanders of 100 soldiers, and the officials who supervised the work that the king wanted done, gave gifts (willingly/because they wanted to give them).
Hĩndĩ ĩyo atongoria a nyũmba, na anene a mĩhĩrĩga ya Isiraeli, na anene a ikundi cia ngiri ngiri na anene a ikundi cia igana igana na anene arĩa maarũgamagĩrĩra wĩra wa mũthamaki makĩheana indo na kwĩyendera.
7 For the work at the temple they gave 190 tons and (185 pounds/84 kg.) of gold, 375 tons of silver, 675 tons of bronze, and 3,750 tons of iron.
Nĩ ũndũ wa wĩra wa hekarũ ya Ngai nĩmaheanire taranda ngiri ithano, na dariki ngiri ikũmi cia thahabu, na taranda ngiri ikũmi cia betha, na taranda ngiri ikũmi na inyanya cia gĩcango, na taranda ngiri igana rĩmwe cia kĩgera.
8 And any people who owned valuable stones gave them to be put in the storeroom of the temple. Jehiel, a descendant of Gershon, was appointed to be in charge of them.
Mũndũ o wothe warĩ na tũhiga twa goro nĩatũheanire thĩinĩ wa kĩgĩĩna kĩa hekarũ ya Jehova kĩrĩa kĩamenyagĩrĩrwo nĩ Jehieli ũrĩa Mũgerishoni.
9 The people were happy to see that their leaders wanted to give those things, because [they knew that] their leaders were happy and enthusiastic to give those things to Yahweh. And King David also was very happy.
Andũ nĩmakenirio nĩ ũrĩa atongoria ao maamũkĩire ũhoro ũcio na kwĩyendera, tondũ nĩmarutĩire Jehova indo na ngoro yao yothe matekũringĩrĩrio. Mũthamaki Daudi o nake nĩakenire mũno.
10 Then, while all the people there were listening, David prayed, saying, “We praise you, Yahweh, the God whom our ancestor Jacob worshiped. We will praise you forever!
Daudi nĩagoocire Jehova arĩ mbere ya kĩũngano kĩu gĩothe, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũrogoocwo wee, o Wee Jehova, Ngai wa ithe witũ Isiraeli, kuuma tene nginya tene.
11 You alone are great and powerful; only you are truly glorious and majestic and wonderful. [And that is true] because everything in heaven and on the earth is yours. You are the king of all the people in this world; you are the ruler of everything.
Wee Jehova-rĩ, ũnene, na hinya, na riiri, na wathani, na ũkengi nĩ ciaku, nĩgũkorwo kĩndũ o gĩothe kĩrĩ igũrũ na thĩ nĩ gĩaku. Wee Jehova, ũthamaki nĩ waku; nĩũtũũgĩrĩtio, ũkanenehio gũkĩra indo ciothe.
12 Because you are very powerful [DOU], you are able to cause anyone to be great and strong.
Ũtonga na gĩtĩĩo ciumaga kũrĩ we; Wee nĩwe wathaga indo ciothe. Hinya na ũhoti wa gũtũũgĩria o na kũhe andũ othe hinya irĩ moko-inĩ maku.
13 So now, our God, we thank you, and we praise you [MTY] for being very great.
Na rĩrĩ, Ngai witũ, nĩtũgũgũcookeria ngaatho, na tũkagooca rĩĩtwa rĩaku rĩrĩ riiri.
14 But my people and I are not really able to give anything to you, because everything [that we have] comes from you, and what we have given to you are only the things that we have received from you [MTY].
“No niĩ ngĩrĩ ũ, nao andũ akwa-rĩ, makĩrĩ a, atĩ no tũhote kũheana na ũtaana ta ũyũ? Indo ciothe ciumaga kũrĩ we, na kĩrĩa twakũhe no kĩrĩa kiumĩte moko-inĩ maku.
15 [In this land] we are like [MET] foreigners and strangers, like our ancestors were. Our time here on this earth is like [SIM] a shadow [that disappears quickly]; [we know that there is] nothing [that] can enable us [to escape dying].
Ithuĩ tũrĩ ageni na agendi maitho-inĩ maku, o ta ũrĩa maithe maitũ ma tene othe maatariĩ. Matukũ maitũ gũkũ thĩ matariĩ o ta kĩĩruru, na gũtirĩ mwĩhoko wa gũtũũra.
16 Yahweh our God, we have gathered all these things to use in building your [MTY] temple, but all of it really belongs to you, and you have given it to us [MTY].
Wee Jehova Ngai witũ, ũingĩ wa indo ici twaruta cia gũgwakĩra hekarũ nĩ ũndũ wa Rĩĩtwa rĩaku Itheru ciumĩte guoko-inĩ gwaku, na ciothe no ciaku.
17 My God, I know that you test us people, and you are pleased if you find out that we do what is right. All these things I have given to you because I wanted to. And now I have seen that your people have also joyfully and generously given things to you.
Niĩ nĩnjũũĩ atĩ Wee Ngai wakwa nĩũtuĩragia ngoro, na nĩũkenagio nĩ ũrũngĩrĩru wa ngoro. Indo ici ciothe ndĩciheanĩte na kwĩyendera na wĩhokeku. Na rĩu ndĩ na gĩkeno nĩ ũndũ wa kwĩonera ũrĩa andũ aya aku marĩ haha makũrutĩire indo na wendo.
18 Yahweh, the God whom our ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob worshiped, I desire/hope that your people will continue to desire [to do things like this] forever, and that they will always be loyal to you.
Wee Jehova, Ngai wa maithe maitũ Iburahĩmu, na Isaaka na Isiraeli, tũũria wendo ũyũ ũrĩ ngoro-inĩ cia andũ aku nginya tene na ũtũme matũũre magwathĩkagĩra.
19 And now, please enable my son Solomon to faithfully and sincerely [DOU] obey your commands and laws and decrees [DOU] and to do everything that is needed to build this beautiful building for which I have provided [all these things].”
Na ũhotithie mũriũ wakwa Solomoni kwĩrutĩra na ngoro yake yothe, kũmenyagĩrĩra maathani maku, na maũndũ marĩa wee wendaga o na kĩrĩra gĩaku kĩa watho wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo, na ekage maũndũ mothe nĩguo aake mwako wa nyũmba ĩno ĩhaana ta nyũmba ya ũthamaki, ĩrĩa niĩ njigithĩirie indo ciayo.”
20 Then David said to all the people who were gathered there, “Praise Yahweh our God!” So they all praised Yahweh the God whom their ancestors ([also worshiped/belonged to]). They prostrated themselves on the ground in front of Yahweh and in front of the king.
Ningĩ Daudi akĩĩra kĩũngano gĩothe atĩrĩ, “Goocai Jehova Ngai wanyu.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ othe makĩgooca Jehova Ngai wa maithe mao; makĩinamĩrĩra, na makĩĩgũithia thĩ mbere ya Jehova na mbere ya mũthamaki.
21 The next day the people offered sacrifices to Yahweh. They presented many animals to be completely burned [on the altar]: 1,000 bulls, 1,000 rams, 1,000 male sheep, plus offerings of wine, and many other sacrifices on behalf of all [the people of] Israel.
Mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ makĩrutĩra Jehova magongona na makĩmũrutĩra maruta ma njino, ta ũũ: ndegwa ngiri ĩmwe, na ndũrũme ngiri ĩmwe na tũtũrũme ngiri ĩmwe, o hamwe na maruta mao ma indo cia kũnyuuo na magongona mangĩ maingĩ nĩ ũndũ wa andũ a Isiraeli othe.
22 On that day the people were joyful and ate and drank while Yahweh was watching. Then for the second time they declared that Solomon was now the king. While Yahweh was watching, they anointed him [with olive oil] to be the king, and they anointed Zadok to be the Supreme Priest.
Makĩrĩa na makĩnyua marĩ na gĩkeno kĩnene mũthenya ũcio marĩ hau mbere ya Jehova. Ningĩ makĩamũkĩra Solomoni mũrũ wa Daudi arĩ mũthamaki hĩndĩ ya keerĩ, na makĩmũitĩrĩria maguta mbere ya Jehova atuĩke wa kũmathamakĩra, nake Zadoku atuĩke mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai.
23 So Solomon sat on the throne [because Yahweh wanted him to be] the king to succeed his father David. [During the following years] Solomon prospered, and all the Israeli people obeyed him.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Solomoni agĩikarĩra gĩtĩ gĩa ũthamaki kĩa Jehova, na agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩa ithe Daudi. Nake akĩgaacĩra na agĩathĩkĩrwo Isiraeli guothe.
24 King David’s other sons and all the officers and mighty warriors accepted Solomon as their king, and they solemnly promised to obey him.
Anene othe, na andũ arĩa maarĩ njamba, hamwe na ariũ a Mũthamaki Daudi othe magĩtĩkĩra Mũthamaki Solomoni amaathage.
25 Yahweh caused Solomon to be highly respected by all the Israeli people, and they honored him very much. No king of Israel was honored as much as Solomon was.
Jehova agĩtũũgĩria Solomoni mũno maitho-inĩ ma andũ a Isiraeli othe, na akĩmũhe ũthamaki ũrĩ na riiri ũtaahetwo mũthamaki ũngĩ wa Isiraeli mbere ĩyo.
26 Jesse’s son David was the king who ruled all of Israel.
Daudi mũrũ wa Jesii aarĩ mũthamaki wa Isiraeli guothe.
27 He ruled for 40 years: Seven years in Hebron [city] and 33 years in Jerusalem.
Aathamakĩire Isiraeli mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna, mĩaka mũgwanja yayo agĩthamaka arĩ Hebironi, nayo mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtatũ na ĩtatũ agĩthamaka arĩ Jerusalemu.
28 He became an old man who was very rich and greatly honored by all the people. Then he died, and his son Solomon became the king [of Israel].
Aakuire arĩ mũkũrũ mũno, arĩkĩtie gũkenera gũtũũra gwake matukũ maingĩ, na arĩ mũtongu, na agatĩĩo. Mũriũ Solomoni nĩwe wathamakire ithenya rĩake.
29 A record of all the things that King David did while he ruled, from the beginning to the end, was put on scrolls written by the prophets Samuel, Nathan, and Gad.
Naho ha maũndũ marĩa makoniĩ wathani wa Mũthamaki Daudi kuuma kĩambĩrĩria nginya mũthia, nĩmandĩkĩtwo thĩinĩ wa maandĩko ma Samũeli ũrĩa warĩ muoni-maũndũ, na maandĩko-inĩ ma Nathani ũrĩa mũnabii na maandĩko-inĩ ma Gadi ũrĩa muoni-maũndũ,
30 They told about his powerful rule [HEN], and all the things that happened to him and to the people of Israel and in the nearby kingdoms [while he was ruling Israel].
hamwe na maũndũ mothe marĩa maakoniĩ ũthamaki wake na ũhoti ũrĩa aarĩ naguo, na ũrĩa maũndũ marĩa maamũthiũrũrũkĩirie maatariĩ na ma Isiraeli na mothamaki ma mabũrũri marĩa mangĩ mothe.
