1 Chronicles 22
1 And David saith, 'This is the house of Jehovah God, and this the altar for burnt-offering for Israel.'
Ale David gblɔ be, “Yehowa Mawu ƒe aƒe la anɔ afi sia eye nenema kee anye vɔsamlekpui si dzi Israel asa vɔ le.”
2 And David saith to gather the sojourners who [are] in the land of Israel, and appointeth hewers to hew hewn-stones to build a house of God.
Azɔ la, David na be amedzro siwo katã nɔ Israelnyigba dzi la nakpa kpe na gbedoxɔ la tutu.
3 And iron in abundance for nails for leaves of the gates, and for couplings, hath David prepared, and brass in abundance — there is no weighing.
Emegbe la, wotsɔ gayibɔ tu gatagbadzɛwo na ʋɔtruwo kple agbowo kple nulégawo. Wololo akɔbli wòsɔ gbɔ ale gbegbe be womate ŋu adae o.
4 And cedar-trees even without number, for the Zidonians and the Tyrians brought in cedar-trees in abundance to David.
Tirotɔwo kple Sidontɔwo tso sedati geɖewo vɛ na David.
5 And David saith, 'Solomon my son [is] a youth and tender, and the house to be built to Jehovah [is] to be made exceedingly great, for name and for beauty to all the lands; let me prepare, I pray Thee, for it;' and David prepareth in abundance before his death.
David gblɔ be, “Vinye Solomo nye ɖekakpui dzaa aɖe ko, evɔ ele be Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la nanye xɔ nyui, wɔnuku, xɔŋkɔ aɖe le xexe blibo la me eya ta made asi dzadzraɖowɔwɔ me na etutu tso fifia.” Ale David ƒo ƒu xɔtunuawo da ɖi hafi eƒe kuɣi ɖo.
6 And he calleth for Solomon his son, and chargeth him to build a house to Jehovah, God of Israel,
Azɔ la, egblɔ na ƒe via Solomo be wòatu gbedoxɔ la na Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la.
7 and David saith to Solomon his son, 'As for me, it hath been with my heart to build a house to the name of Jehovah my God,
Egblɔ na Solomo be, “Vinye, medi be nye ŋutɔ matu gbedoxɔ la hafi,
8 and the word of Jehovah [is] against me, saying, Blood in abundance thou hast shed, and great wars thou hast made: thou dost not build a house to My name, for much blood thou hast shed to the earth before Me.
ke Yehowa meɖe mɔ nam o. Egblɔ nam be, ‘Èwu ame geɖewo akpa le aʋa gãwo me. Èna anyigba biã le nye ŋkume eya ta menye wòe atu nye gbedoxɔ la o.
9 'Lo, a son is born to thee; he is a man of rest, and I have given rest to him from all his enemies round about, for Solomon is his name, and peace and quietness I give unto Israel in his days;
Ke mana nàdzi viŋutsu aɖe ame si anye ŋutifafame aɖe elabena mana ŋutifafa nanɔ eya kple futɔwo dome le dukɔ siwo ƒo xlã mi la me. Woayɔe be Solomo, si gɔmee nye, “Ŋutifafa” eye mana ŋutifafa kple dzidzeme Israel le eƒe fiaɖuɣi.
10 he doth build a house to My name, and he is to Me for a son, and I [am] to him for a father, and I have established the throne of his kingdom over Israel unto the age.
Eyae atu nye gbedoxɔ la, anɔ abe nye ŋutɔ vinye ene eye manye fofoa. Mana ƒe viawo kple viawo ƒe viwo naɖu fia to Israel ƒe dzidzimewo katã me!’
11 'Now, my son, Jehovah is with thee, and thou hast prospered, and hast built the house of Jehovah thy God, as He spake concerning thee.
“Eya ta Yehowa nanɔ kpli wò eye wòana nuwo nadze edzi na wò esi nànɔ nu siwo wòɖo na wò la wɔm eye nànɔ Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la tum.
12 Only, Jehovah give to thee wisdom and understanding, and charge thee concerning Israel, even to keep the law of Jehovah thy God;
Yehowa nana gɔmesese wò ale be nàlé eƒe sewo me ɖe asi ne eɖo wò fiae ɖe Israel dzi.
13 then thou dost prosper, if thou dost observe to do the statutes and the judgments that Jehovah charged Moses with concerning Israel; be strong and courageous; do not fear, nor be cast down.
“Eya ta ne èlé se kple ɖoɖo siwo wòna Israel to Mose dzi me ɖe asi la, nuwo adze edzi na wò. Wɔ kalẽ eye nàlé dzi ɖe ƒo; mègavɔ̃ o, ke boŋ nàtsɔ dzo ɖe wò dɔwo ŋu!
14 'And lo, in mine affliction, I have prepared for the house of Jehovah of gold talents a hundred thousand, and of silver a thousand thousand talents; and of brass and of iron there is no weighing, for in abundance it hath been, and wood and stones I have prepared, and to them thou dost add.
“Metsɔ dzigbɔɖi blibo di sika ‘tɔn’ akpe etɔ̃ alafa ene blaatɔ̃, klosalo ‘tɔn’ akpe blaetɔ̃-vɔ-ene alafa atɔ̃ kple akɔbli kple gayibɔ kpekpeme gã aɖe hekpe ɖe ati kple kpe ŋu hena Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la tutu; mɔɖeɖe li be miadi nu siawo akpe wo faa.
15 'And with thee in abundance [are] workmen, hewers and artificers of stone and of wood, and every skilful man for every work.
Gawu la, kpeɖolawo kple atikpalawo kple aɖaŋudɔwɔla vovovowo le asiwò.
16 To the gold, to the silver, and to the brass, and to the iron, there is no number; arise and do, and Jehovah is with thee.'
Aɖaŋudɔwɔla siawo nya sika, klosalo, akɔbli kple gayibɔ ŋu dɔ wɔwɔ nyuie eya ta dze dɔ la gɔme eye Yehowa nanɔ kpli wo.”
17 And David giveth charge to all heads of Israel to give help to Solomon his son,
Ale David ɖe gbe na Israel ƒe kplɔlawo katã be woakpe ɖe ye vi, Solomo ŋu le gbedoxɔ la tutu me.
18 'Is not Jehovah your God with you? yea, He hath given rest to you round about, for He hath given into my hand the inhabitants of the land, and subdued hath been the land before His people.
Egblɔ be, “Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la nanɔ kpli mi. Ena ŋutifafa ɖo miawo kple dukɔ siwo ƒo xlã mi la dome elabena Yehowa ƒe ŋkɔ mee meɖu wo dzi le hena eƒe amewo.
19 'Now, give your heart and your soul to seek to Jehovah your God, and rise and build the sanctuary of Jehovah God, to bring in the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and the holy vessels of God, to the house that is built to the name of Jehovah.'
Azɔ la, midze agbagba le go ɖe sia ɖe me be, miaɖo to Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la eye miatsɔ nubablaɖaka la kple nu kɔkɔe bubu siwo ŋu dɔ wowɔna le subɔsubɔ me la va Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la me!”
