1 Chronicles 28
1 Therfor Dauid clepide togidere alle the princes of Israel, the duykis of lynagis, and the souereyns of cumpenyes, that `mynystriden to the kyng, also the tribunes, and centuriouns, and hem that weren souereyns ouer the catel and possessiouns of the kyng, and hise sones, with `nurchis, and techeris, and alle the myyti and strongeste men in the oost of Jerusalem.
Daudi akawaita maafisa wote wa Israeli wakusanyike huko Yerusalemu: yaani, maafisa walio juu ya makabila, majemadari wa vikosi katika utumishi wa mfalme, majemadari wa maelfu na majemadari wa mamia, maafisa wanaosimamia mali zote na mifugo ya mfalme na wanawe, wakiwemo maafisa wa jumba la kifalme, mashujaa na askari wote walio hodari.
2 And whanne the kyng hadde rise, and `hadde stonde, he seide, My britheren and my puple, here ye me. Y thouyte for to bilde an hows, wherynne the arke of boond of pees of the Lord, and the stool of the feet of oure God schulde reste; and Y made redi alle thingis to bilde.
Mfalme Daudi akainuka na kusema: “Nisikilizeni ndugu zangu nanyi watu wangu. Nilikuwa na nia ya kujenga nyumba ili iwe mahali pa kukaa Sanduku la Agano la Bwana kwa ajili ya kuwa mahali pa kuwekea miguu ya Mungu wetu, nami nikafanya maandalizi ya kuijenga.
3 But God seide to me, Thou schalt not bilde an hows to my name, for thou art a man werriour, and hast sched blood.
Lakini Mungu akaniambia, ‘Wewe hutajenga nyumba kwa Jina langu, kwa sababu wewe umepigana vita na umemwaga damu.’
4 But the Lord God of Israel chees me of al the hows of my fadir, that Y schulde be kyng on Israel with outen ende; for of Juda he chees princes, sotheli of the hows of Juda he chees the hows of my fadir, and of the sones of my fadir it pleside hym to chese me kyng on al Israel.
“Hata hivyo, Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli, alinichagua mimi kutoka jamaa yangu yote niwe mfalme juu ya Israeli milele. Alimchagua Yuda kuwa kiongozi na kutoka nyumba ya Yuda akaichagua jamaa yangu na kutoka wana wa baba yangu ikampendeza kunifanya niwe mfalme juu ya Israeli yote.
5 But also of my sones, for the Lord yaf to me many sones, he chees Salomon, my sone, that he schulde sitte in the troone of the rewme of the Lord on Israel.
Miongoni mwa wanangu wote, naye Bwana amenipa wengi, amemchagua Solomoni mwanangu ili kukikalia kiti cha enzi cha ufalme wa Bwana juu ya Israeli.
6 And he seide to me, Salomon, thi sone, schal bilde myn hows, and myn auters; for Y haue chose hym to me in to a sone, and Y schal be to hym in to a fadir;
Aliniambia, ‘Solomoni mwanao ndiye atakayejenga nyumba yangu na nyua zangu, kwa maana nimemchagua yeye kuwa mwanangu, nami nitakuwa baba yake.
7 and Y schal make stidefast his rewme til in to with outen ende, if he schal contynue to do myn heestis and domes, as and to dai.
Nitaufanya imara ufalme wake milele kama akiendelea kuzishika amri zangu na sheria zangu, kama afanyavyo hivi leo.’
8 Now therfor bifor al the cumpeny of Israel, `Y seie these thingis that suen in the heryng of God, kepe ye and seke ye alle the comaundementis of `youre Lord God, that ye haue in possessioun a good lond, and that ye leeue it to youre sones aftir you til in to with outen ende.
“Hivyo basi ninawaagiza mbele za Israeli yote na kusanyiko hili la Bwana naye Mungu wetu akiwa anasikia: Kuweni na bidii kuzifuata amri za Bwana Mungu wenu, ili mpate kumiliki nchi hii nzuri na kuwaachia wana wenu kuwa urithi milele.
9 But thou, Salomon, my sone, knowe the God of thi fadir, and serue thou hym with perfit herte, and wilful soule; for the Lord serchith alle hertis, and vndirstondith alle thouytis of soulis; if thou sekist hym, thou schalt fynde hym; forsothe if thou forsakist hym, he schal caste thee awei with outen ende.
“Nawe Solomoni mwanangu, mjue Mungu wa baba yako, ukamtumikie kwa kujitoa kwa moyo wote na kwa nia ya kumkubali, kwa maana Bwana huuchunguza kila moyo na kujua kila kusudi la kila fikira. Ukimtafuta, ataonekana kwako; bali kama ukimwacha, yeye atakukataa milele.
10 Now therfor, for the Lord chees thee, for to bilde the hows of seyntuarie, be thou coumfortid, and parforme.
Angalia basi, kwa maana Bwana amekuchagua wewe ili ujenge Hekalu kuwa mahali patakatifu. Uwe hodari ukafanye kazi hiyo.”
11 Forsothe Dauid yaf to Salomon, his sone, the discryuyng, `ether ensaumple, of the porche, and of the temple, and of celeris, and of the soler, and of closetis in pryuy places, and of the hows of propiciacioun, `that is, of mersi;
Ndipo Daudi akampa Solomoni mwanawe kielelezo kwa ajili ya ukumbi wa Hekalu, nyumba zake, vyumba vyake vya hazina, ghorofa zake, vyumba vyake vya ndani na mahali pa kufanyia upatanisho.
12 also and of alle thingis whiche he thouyte of the large places, and of chaumbris bi cumpas, in to the tresours of the hows of the Lord, and `in to the tresours of holi thingis,
Akampa vielelezo vya yote Roho alikuwa ameviweka moyoni mwake kwa ajili ya kumbi za Hekalu la Bwana na vyumba vyote vilivyolizunguka, kwa ajili ya hazina za Hekalu la Mungu na kwa hazina za vitu vilivyowekwa wakfu.
13 and of the departyngis of preestis and of dekenes, in to alle the werkis of the hows of the Lord, and alle vessels of the seruyce of the temple of the Lord.
Mfalme pia akampa Solomoni maelekezo kwa ajili ya migawanyo ya huduma za makuhani na Walawi, pia kwa ajili ya kazi zote za huduma katika Hekalu la Bwana. Akampa pia maelezo kuhusu vifaa vyote vya kutumika katika huduma ya Hekalu.
14 Of gold in weiyte bi ech vessel of the seruyce, and of siluer, for dyuersitee of vessels, and of werkis;
Akamwagizia uzito wa dhahabu kwa ajili ya vitu vyote vya dhahabu vya kutumika katika huduma mbalimbali, uzito wa fedha kwa ajili ya vitu vyote vya fedha vya kutumika katika huduma mbalimbali.
15 but also to goldun candilstikis, and to her lanternes, he yaf gold, for the mesure of ech candilstike and lanternes; also and in silueren candilstikis, and in her lanternes, he bitook the weiyte of siluer, for the dyuersite of mesure.
Uzito wa dhahabu kwa ajili ya vinara vya dhahabu na taa zake, kukiwa na uzito kwa ajili ya kila kinara na taa zake, pamoja na uzito wa fedha kwa ajili ya kila kinara cha fedha na taa zake, kulingana na matumizi ya kila kinara;
16 Also and he yaf gold in to the bord of settyng forth, for the dyuersite of mesure, also and he yaf siluer in to othere siluerne boordis;
uzito wa dhahabu kwa ajili ya meza ya mikate iliyowekwa wakfu, uzito wa fedha kwa ajili ya meza ya fedha;
17 also to fleisch hookis, and viols, and censeris of pureste gold; and to litle goldun lyouns, for the maner of mesure, he departide a weiyte in to a litil lyoun and a litil lioun; also and in to siluerne liouns he departide dyuerse weiyte of siluer.
uzito wa dhahabu safi kwa ajili ya nyuma, mabakuli ya kunyunyizia na vikombe, masinia; uzito wa dhahabu kwa ajili ya kila bakuli la dhahabu; uzito wa fedha kwa ajili ya kila bakuli la fedha;
18 Forsothe he yaf pureste gold to the auter, wherynne encense was brent, that a lickenesse of the cart of cherubyns, holdinge forth wyngis, and hilynge the arke of boond of pees of the Lord, schulde be maad therof.
na uzito wa dhahabu safi kwa ajili ya madhabahu ya kufukizia uvumba. Pia alimpa kielelezo kwa ajili ya gari, yaani, wale makerubi wa dhahabu waliokunjua mbawa zao na kuweka kivuli juu ya Sanduku la Agano la Bwana.
19 Dauid seide, Alle thingis camen writun bi the hond of the Lord to me, that Y schulde vndirstonde alle the werkis of the saumpler.
Daudi akasema, “Hii yote, ninayo kwa maandishi kutoka mkononi mwa Bwana ulio juu yangu, naye amenipa ufahamu kwa ajili ya habari zote za kielelezo hiki.”
20 And Dauid seide to Salomon, his sone, Do thou manli, and be thou coumfortid, and make; drede thou not `with outforth, nether drede thou `with ynne; for `my Lord God schal be with thee, and he schal not leeue thee, nether schal forsake thee, til thou performe al the werk of the seruyce of the hows of the Lord.
Daudi pia akamwambia Solomoni mwanawe, “Uwe hodari na moyo mkuu, ukafanye kazi hii. Usiogope wala usifadhaike, kwa maana Bwana aliye Mungu, Mungu wangu yu pamoja nawe. Hatakuacha wala hatakupungukia mpaka kazi hii yote kwa ajili ya utumishi wa Hekalu la Bwana itakapokamilika.
21 Lo! the departyngis of prestis and of dekenes, in to al the werk of the seruyce of the hows of the Lord, schulen stonde niy thee; and thei ben redi, and bothe the princes and the puple kunnen do alle thi comaundementis.
Migawanyo ya makuhani na Walawi iko tayari kwa ajili ya kazi yote katika Hekalu la Mungu, naye kila mtu mwenye moyo wa kupenda mwenye ustadi katika aina yoyote ya ufundi atakusaidia katika kazi yote. Maafisa na watu wote watatii kila agizo lako.”
