< 1 Chronicles 28 >
1 David assembled all the officials of Israel at Jerusalem: the officials of the tribes, the officers of the divisions that served the king in their scheduled work, the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, the managers over all the property and possessions of the king and of his sons, and the officers and fighting men, including the most skilled of them.
Davide anayitana akuluakulu onse a Israeli kuti asonkhane ku Yerusalemu: akuluakulu a mafuko, olamulira magulu a ntchito ya mfumu, olamulira ankhondo 1,000, ndi olamulira ankhondo 100, ndiponso akuluakulu onse osunga katundu ndi ziweto za mfumu ndi ana ake, pamodzinso ndi akuluakulu a ku nyumba yaufumu, anthu amphamvu ndi asilikali onse olimba mtima.
2 Then David the king rose to his feet and said, “Listen to me, my brothers and my people. It was my intention to build a temple for the ark of the covenant of Yahweh; a footstool for our God, and I have made preparations to build it.
Mfumu Davide inayimirira ndipo inati: “Tamverani abale anga ndi anthu anga. Ine ndinali ndi maganizo omanga nyumba monga malo okhalamo Bokosi la Chipangano la Yehova, malo oyikapo mapazi a Mulungu wathu, ndipo ndinakonza ndondomeko yomangira nyumbayo.”
3 But God said to me, 'You will not build a temple for my name, because you are a man of war and have shed blood.'
Koma Mulungu anati kwa ine, “Usandimangire nyumba chifukwa ndiwe munthu wankhondo ndipo wakhala ukukhetsa magazi.”
4 Yet Yahweh, the God of Israel, chose me from all my father's family to be king over Israel forever. He has chosen the tribe of Judah as leader. In the tribe of Judah, and in my father's household, out of all my father's sons, he chose me to be king over all Israel.
“Komabe Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli anasankha ine pakati pa onse a banja langa kukhala mfumu ya Israeli kwamuyaya. Iye anasankha Yuda kukhala mtsogoleri, ndipo pa banja la Yuda anasankha banja langa. Pakati pa ana aamuna a abambo anga, kunamukomera Iye kundikhazika mfumu ya Aisraeli onse.
5 From the many sons whom Yahweh has given me, he chose Solomon, my son, to sit on the throne of the kingdom of Yahweh, over Israel.
Pa ana anga ambiri onse amene Yehova wandipatsa, Iye wasankha mwana wanga Solomoni kuti akhale pa mpando waufumu wa ufumu wa Yehova kuti alamulire Israeli.”
6 He said to me, 'Solomon your son will build my house and my courtyards, for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be his father.
Yehova anati kwa ine, “Solomoni mwana wako ndiye amene adzamanga nyumba yanga ndi mabwalo anga, pakuti Ine ndamusankha kuti akhale mwana wanga ndipo Ine ndidzakhala abambo ake.
7 I will establish his kingdom forever, if he remains committed to obey my commandments and decrees, as you are this day.'
Ine ndidzakhazikitsa ufumu wake kwamuyaya ngati iye saleka kutsatira malamulo ndi malangizo anga, monga momwe zikuchitikira leromu.”
8 Now then, in the sight of all Israel, this assembly for Yahweh, and in the presence of our God, all of you must keep and try to carry out all the commandments of Yahweh your God. Do this so that you may possess this good land and leave it as an inheritance to your children after you forever.
“Tsono lero ine ndikulamula inu pamaso pa Aisraeli onse ndi pa msonkhano wa Yehova, ndipo Mulungu wathu akumva: Mutsatire mosamala malamulo a Yehova Mulungu wathu, kuti dziko labwinoli likhale lanu ndi kuti mudzalipereke kwa zidzukulu zanu kukhala cholowa chawo kwamuyaya.”
9 As for you, Solomon my son, obey the God of your father, and serve him with your whole heart and a willing spirit. Do this because Yahweh searches all hearts and understands every motivation of everyone's thoughts. If you seek him, he will be found by you, but if you abandon him, he will reject you permanently.
“Ndipo iwe mwana wanga Solomoni, umvere Mulungu wa abambo ako, umutumikire ndi mtima wodzipereka kwathunthu ndi mtima wako wonse, pakuti Yehova amasanthula mtima wa aliyense, ndipo amadziwa maganizo aliwonse a munthu. Ngati ufunafuna Yehova, Iye adzapezeka; koma ngati umutaya, Iye adzakukana kwamuyaya.
10 Realize that Yahweh has chosen you to build this temple as his sanctuary. Be strong and do it.”
Tsopano ganizira bwino, pakuti Yehova wakusankha iwe kuti umange Nyumba ya Mulungu monga malo ake opatulika. Khala wamphamvu ndipo ugwire ntchito.”
11 Then David gave to Solomon his son the plans for the temple portico, the temple buildings, the storerooms, the upper rooms, the inner rooms, and the room with the atonement lid.
Kotero Davide anapatsa Solomoni mwana wake mapulani a khonde la Nyumba ya Mulungu, nyumba zake, mosungiramo katundu, zipinda zake zamʼmwamba, zipinda zamʼkati ndi malo a nsembe zopepesera machimo.
12 He gave him the plans he had drawn for the courtyards of Yahweh's house, all the surrounding rooms, the storerooms in God's house, and the treasuries for the things that belong to Yahweh.
Iye anapatsa Solomoni mapulani a zonse zimene ankaziganizira za bwalo la Nyumba ya Yehova ndi zipinda zonse zozungulira, zipinda zosungiramo chuma cha Nyumba ya Mulungu ndi zinthu zoperekedwa kwa Yehova.
13 He gave him regulations for the divisions of the priests and Levites, for the assigned responsibilities for the service of the house of Yahweh, and for all the objects for the service in Yahweh's house.
Davide anamulangiza za magulu a ansembe ndi Alevi ndi ntchito yonse yotumikira mʼNyumba ya Yehova, komanso za zinthu zonse zogwirira ntchito potumikira.
14 He determined the weight of all the gold vessels for each service, the weight of silver vessels for each service,
Iye anakonzeratu za kulemera kwa golide wopangira zida zonse zagolide zogwirira ntchito zosiyanasiyana, ndiponso kulemera kwa siliva wopangira zida zonse zasiliva zogwirira ntchito zosiyanasiyana:
15 the weight of the gold for all the gold articles, to be lampstands and gold lamps, the weight of gold for each lampstand, the weight of silver for each silver lampstand, according to the use of each lampstand in the service.
kulemera kwa golide wopangira choyikapo nyale chagolide ndi nyale zake; ndiponso kulemera kwa siliva wa choyikapo nyale chilichonse ndi nyale zake, molingana ndi kagwiritsidwe ka choyikapo nyale chilichonse;
16 He gave the weight of the gold for the tables of the bread of the presence, for every table, and the weight of the silver for the silver tables.
kulemera kwa golide wa tebulo iliyonse yoyikapo buledi wopatulika; kulemera kwa siliva wopangira matebulo asiliva;
17 He gave the weight of pure gold for the meat forks, basins, and cups. He gave the weight for each of the gold bowls, and the weight of each of the silver bowls.
muyeso wa golide woyengeka bwino wopangira mafoloko, mbale ndi zotungira; muyeso wa golide wa beseni lililonse la siliva;
18 He gave the weight of refined gold for the incense altar, and of the gold for the design of the cherubim that spread out their wings and covered the ark of the covenant of Yahweh.
ndiponso muyeso wa golide wabwino wopangira guwa la zofukiza. Davide anamupatsanso ndondomeko ya mapangidwe a galeta, akerubi agolide atatambasula mapiko awo kuphimba Bokosi la Chipangano la Yehova.
19 David said, “I have put all this in writing as Yahweh directed me and gave me to understand regarding the design.”
Davide anati, “Zonsezi ndalemba kuchokera kwa Yehova, ndipo Iye wachita kuti ndimvetsetse zonse za mapulaniwa.”
20 David said to Solomon his son, “Be strong and brave. Do the work. Do not be afraid or anxious, for Yahweh God, my God, is with you. He will not leave you nor abandon you until all the work for the service of Yahweh's temple is finished.
Davide anatinso kwa mwana wake Solomoni, “Khala wamphamvu ndi wolimba mtima ndipo uchite ntchitoyi. Usachite mantha kapena kutaya mtima pakuti Yehova Mulungu wanga ali nawe. Iye sadzakukhumudwitsa kapena kukusiya mpaka ntchito yonse ya Nyumba ya Mulungu itatha.
21 See, here are the divisions of the priests and Levites for all the service in God's temple. They will be with you, together with all willing and skillful men, to assist you in the work and to perform the service. The officials and all the people are ready to follow your commands.”
Magulu a ansembe ndi Alevi ndi okonzeka kugwira ntchito ya Nyumba ya Mulungu, ndipo munthu waluso aliyense wodzipereka adzakuthandiza pa ntchito yonse. Akuluakulu ndi anthu onse adzamvera chilichonse chomwe udzalamula.”
