< 1 Chronicles 29 >
1 And kyng Dauid spak to al the chirche, God hath chose Salomon, my sone, yit a child and tendre; forsothe the werk is greet, and a dwellyng is not maad redi to man but to God.
Ndipo Mfalme Daudi akaliambia kusanyiko lote: “Mwanangu Solomoni, yeye ambaye Mungu amemchagua, ni kijana mdogo na asiye na uzoefu. Kazi hii ni kubwa, kwa sababu Hekalu hili la fahari si kwa ajili ya mwanadamu bali ni kwa ajili ya Bwana.
2 Sotheli Y in alle my myytis haue maad redi the costis of the hows of my God; gold to goldun vessels, siluer in to siluerne vessels, bras in to brasun vessels, irun in to irun vessels, tre in to trenun vessels, onychyn stonys, and stonys as of the colour of wymmens oynement, and ech precious stoon of dyuerse colouris, and marbil of dyuerse colouris, most plenteuously.
Kwa uwezo wangu wote nimetenga mali kwa ajili ya Hekalu la Mungu wangu: dhahabu kwa kazi za dhahabu, fedha kwa ajili ya fedha, shaba kwa kazi za shaba, chuma kwa kazi za chuma na miti kwa kazi za miti, vivyo hivyo vito vya shohamu kwa ajili ya kutia kwenye vijalizo, almasi, mawe ya rangi mbalimbali, aina zote za vito vya thamani na marmar; yote haya kwa wingi mno.
3 And ouer these thingis Y yyue gold and siluer in to the temple of my God, whiche Y offride of my propir catel in to the hows of my God, outakun these thingis whiche Y made redi in to the hooli hows,
Zaidi ya hayo, kwa kujitolea kwangu kwa ajili ya Hekalu la Mungu wangu, sasa ninatoa hazina zangu mwenyewe za dhahabu na fedha kwa ajili ya Hekalu la Mungu wangu, zaidi ya mali niliyotoa kwa ajili ya Hekalu hili takatifu:
4 thre thousynde talentis of gold, of the gold of Ophir, and seuene thousynde of talentis of siluer most preuyd, to ouergilde the wallis of the temple;
talanta 3,000 za dhahabu (dhahabu ya Ofiri) na talanta 7,000 za fedha safi iliyosafishwa, kwa ajili ya kufunika kuta za Hekalu,
5 and werkis be maad bi the hondis of crafti men, where euere gold is nedeful, of gold, and where euere siluer is nedeful, of siluer; and if ony man offrith bi his fre wille, fille he his hond to dai, and offre he that that he wole to the Lord.
kwa kazi ya dhahabu na kazi ya fedha na kwa kazi yote itakayofanywa na mafundi. Basi, ni nani anayependa kujitoa kwa Bwana leo?”
6 Therfor the princes of meynees, and the duykis of the lynagis of Israel, and the tribunes, and the centuriouns, and the princes of the possessiouns of the kyng, bihiyten;
Ndipo viongozi wa jamaa, maafisa wa kabila za Israeli, majemadari wa maelfu na majemadari wa mamia, pamoja na maafisa waliokuwa wasimamizi wa kazi za mfalme wakatoa kwa hiari yao.
7 and thei yauen in to the werkis of the hows of the Lord, fyue thousynde talentis of gold, and ten thousynde schyllyngis; ten thousynde talentis of siluer, and eiytene thousynde talentis of bras, and an hundrid thousynde of talentis of irun.
Wakatoa kwa ajili ya kazi ya Hekalu la Mungu talanta 5,000 na darkoni 10,000 za dhahabu, talanta 10,000 za fedha, talanta 18,000 za shaba na talanta 100,000 za chuma.
8 And at whom euere stoonys were foundun, thei yauen in to the tresour of the hows of the Lord, bi the hond of Jehiel Gersonyte.
Kila mmoja aliyekuwa na vito vya thamani akavitoa katika hazina ya Hekalu la Bwana chini ya uangalizi wa Yehieli Mgershoni.
9 And the puple was glad, whanne thei bihiyten avowis bi her fre wille, for with al the herte thei offriden tho to the Lord. But also kyng Dauid was glad with greet ioye, and blesside the Lord bifor al the multitude,
Watu wakafurahi kwa sababu ya itikio la hiari la viongozi wao, kwa kuwa walikuwa wametoa kwa hiari na kwa moyo wote kwa Bwana. Mfalme Daudi pia akafurahi sana.
10 and seide, Lord God of Israel, oure fadir, thou art blessid fro with outen bigynnyng in to with outen ende;
Daudi akamhimidi Bwana mbele ya kusanyiko lote, akisema: “Uhimidiwe wewe, Ee Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli baba yetu, tangu milele hata milele.
11 Lord, worthi doyng is thin, and power, and glorie, and victorie, and heriyng is to thee; for alle thingis that ben in heuene and in erthe ben thine; Lord, the rewme is thin, and thou art ouer alle princes; ritchessis ben thin, and glorie is thin;
Ukuu na uweza, ni vyako, Ee Bwana, na utukufu na enzi na uzuri, kwa kuwa kila kilichoko mbinguni na duniani ni chako wewe. Ee Bwana, ufalme ni wako; umetukuzwa kuwa mkuu juu ya yote.
12 thou art Lord of alle; in thin hond is vertu, and power, and in thin hond is greetnesse, and lordschipe of alle.
Utajiri na heshima vyatoka kwako; wewe ndiwe utawalaye vitu vyote. Mikononi mwako kuna nguvu na uweza ili kuinua na kuwapa wote nguvu,
13 Now therfor, oure God, we knoulechen to thee, and we herien thi noble name.
Sasa, Mungu wetu, tunakushukuru na kulisifu Jina lako tukufu.
14 Who am Y, and who is my puple, that we moun bihete alle these thingis to thee? Alle thingis ben thine, and we han youe to thee tho thingis, whiche we token of thin hond.
“Lakini mimi ni nani, nao watu wangu ni nani, hata tuweze kukutolea kwa ukarimu namna hii? Vitu vyote vyatoka kwako, nasi tumekutolea tu vile vitokavyo mkononi mwako.
15 For we ben pilgrimes and comelyngis bifor thee, as alle oure fadris; oure daies ben as schadewe on the erthe, and `no dwellyng is.
Sisi ni wageni na wapitaji machoni pako, kama walivyokuwa baba zetu wote. Siku zetu duniani ni kama kivuli, bila tumaini.
16 Oure Lord God, al this plentee which we han maad redi, that an hows schulde be byldid to thin hooli name, is of thin hond; and alle thingis ben thin.
Ee Bwana Mungu wetu, kwa wingi wote huu ambao tumekutolea kwa kujenga Hekalu kwa ajili ya Jina lako Takatifu, vimetoka mkononi mwako, navyo vyote ni mali yako.
17 My God, Y woot, that thou preuest hertis, and louest symplenesse of herte; wherfor and Y, in the symplenesse of myn herte, haue offrid gladli alle these thingis; and Y siy with greet ioye thi puple, which is foundun here, offre yiftis to thee.
Ninajua, Mungu wangu, kwamba wewe huujaribu moyo na unapendezwa na unyofu. Vitu hivi vyote nimetoa kwa hiari na kwa moyo mnyofu. Nami sasa nimeona kwa furaha jinsi watu wako walioko hapa kwa hiari yao walivyokutolea wewe.
18 Lord God of Abraham, and of Ysaac, and of Israel, oure fadris, kepe thou with outen ende this wille of her hertis; and this mynde dwelle euere in to the worschipyng of thee.
Ee Bwana, Mungu wa baba zetu Abrahamu, Isaki na Israeli, weka shauku hii ndani ya mioyo ya watu wako daima na uifanye mioyo yao iwe na uaminifu kwako.
19 Also yyue thou to Salomon, my sone, a perfit herte, that he kepe thin heestis, and witnessyngis, and thi ceremonyes; and do alle thingis, and that he bilde the hows, whose costis Y haue maad redi.
Nawe umpe mwanangu Solomoni kujitolea kwako kwa moyo wote ili kuzishika amri zako, masharti yako, maagizo yako na kufanya kila kitu ili kujenga Hekalu hili la fahari ambalo kwa ajili yake nimetoa.”
20 Forsothe Dauid comaundide to al the chirche, Blesse ye `oure Lord God. And al the chirche blesside the Lord God of her fadris, and thei bowiden hem silf, and worschipiden God, aftirward the kyng.
Ndipo Daudi akaliambia kusanyiko lote, “Mhimidini Bwana Mungu wenu.” Hivyo wote wakamhimidi Bwana, Mungu wa baba zao. Wakasujudu na kuanguka kifudifudi mbele za Bwana na mfalme.
21 And thei offriden slayn sacrifices to the Lord, and thei offriden brent sacrifices in the dai suynge; a thousynde boolis, and a thousynde rammes, and a thousynde lambren, with her fletynge sacrifices, and al the custom, most plenteuously, in to al Israel.
Siku ya pili yake wakamtolea Bwana dhabihu na sadaka za kuteketezwa: mafahali 1,000, kondoo dume 1,000 na wana-kondoo dume 1,000, pamoja na sadaka za kinywaji na sadaka nyingine nyingi sana kwa ajili ya Israeli.
22 And thei eten and drunken bifor the Lord in that dai, with greet gladnesse. And thei anoyntiden the secounde tyme Salomon, the sone of Dauid; and thei anoyntiden hym in to prince to the Lord, and Sadoch in to bischop.
Wakala na kunywa kwa furaha kubwa mbele za Bwana siku ile. Wakamtawaza Solomoni mwana wa Daudi mara ya pili kuwa mfalme, wakamtia mafuta kwa ajili ya Bwana ili awe mfalme na Sadoki kuwa kuhani.
23 And Salomon sat on the trone of the Lord in to kyng, for Dauid, his fadir; and it pleside alle men, and al Israel obeiede to hym.
Solomoni akaketi kwenye kiti cha enzi cha Bwana kuwa mfalme mahali pa Daudi baba yake. Akafanikiwa sana na Israeli wote wakamtii.
24 But also alle princes, and myyti men, and alle the sones of kyng Dauid, yauen hond, and weren suget to `Salomon the kyng.
Maafisa wote na mashujaa, pamoja na wana wote wa Daudi, wakaahidi kumtii Mfalme Solomoni.
25 Therfor the Lord magnefiede Salomon on al Israel, and yaue to hym glorie of the rewme, what maner glorie no kyng of Israel hadde bifor hym.
Bwana akamtukuza sana Solomoni mbele ya Israeli wote na kumvika fahari ya kifalme ambayo hakuna mfalme yeyote wa Israeli kabla yake aliwahi kuwa nayo.
26 Therfor Dauid, the sone of Ysai, regnede on al Israel;
Daudi mwana wa Yese alikuwa mfalme wa Israeli yote.
27 and the daies in whiche he regnede on Israel weren fourti yeer; in Ebron he regnede seuene yeer, and in Jerusalem thre and thretti yeer.
Alitawala Israeli kwa miaka arobaini: huko Hebroni alitawala miaka saba, na katika Yerusalemu akatawala miaka thelathini na mitatu.
28 And he diede in good eelde, and was ful of daies, and richessis, and glorie; and Salomon, his sone, regnede for hym.
Daudi akafa akiwa mzee mwenye umri mwema, akiwa ameshiba siku, utajiri na heshima. Naye Solomoni mwanawe akawa mfalme baada yake.
29 Forsothe the formere and the laste dedis of Dauid ben writun in the book of Samuel, the prophete, and in the book of Nathan, prophete, and in the book of Gad, the prophete;
Kuhusu matukio ya utawala wa Mfalme Daudi, kuanzia mwanzo hadi mwisho, yameandikwa katika kumbukumbu za mwonaji Samweli, na kumbukumbu za nabii Nathani na kumbukumbu za mwonaji Gadi,
30 and of al his rewme, and strengthe, and tymes, that passiden vndur hym, ethir in Israel, ethir in alle rewmes of londis.
pamoja na habari zote za utawala wake, nguvu zake na matukio yaliyompata yeye, na Israeli, na falme za nchi nyingine zote.
