And David the king said to all the congregation, Solomon my son, whom the Lord has chosen, [is] young and tender, and the work [is] great; for [it is] not for man, but for the Lord God.
2 Mewɔ nu sia nu si le nye ŋutete me eye medi nu siwo katã hiã na xɔ la tutu, esiwo nye sika, klosalo, akɔbli, gayibɔ, ati, ‘oni’ kple kpe xɔasi bubuwo, adzagba xɔasiwo kple kpeɣi.
I have prepared according to all [my] might for the house of my God gold, silver, brass, iron, wood, onyx stones, and costly and variegated stones for setting, and every precious stone, and much Parian [marble].
3 Azɔ esi wònye ɖe metsɔ ɖokuinye sa vɔe ɖe nye Mawu ƒe gbedoxɔ la tutu ŋu ta la, metsɔ nye ŋutɔ nye kesinɔnu siwo nye sika kple klosalo kpe ɖe xɔtunu siwo medi da ɖi la ŋu hena nye Mawu la ƒe gbedoxɔ la tutu.
And still farther, because I took pleasure in the house of my God, I have gold and silver which I have procured for myself, and, behold, I have given them to the house of my God over and above, beyond what I have prepared for the holy house.
4 “Mena sika nyuitɔ tso Ofir ‘tɔn’ alafa ɖeka kple klosalo nyuitɔ ‘tɔn’ alafa eve blaene be woatsɔ afa ɖe gliawo ŋu
Three thousand talents of gold of Suphir, and seven thousand talents of fine silver, for the overlaying of the walls of the sanctuary:
5 eye sikanuwɔlawo kple klosalonuwɔlawo natsɔ wo awɔ sikanuwo kple klosalonuwo. Azɔ la, ame kae lɔ̃ be yeakɔ ye ɖokui ŋuti egbea na Yehowa?”
[for thee to use] the gold for [things of] gold, and the silver for things of silver, and for every work by the hand of the artificers. And who is willing to dedicate himself in work this day for the Lord?
6 Tete ƒometatɔwo, Israel ƒe towo ƒe tatɔwo, asrafo akpe ɖeka kple asrafo alafa ɖeka nunɔlawo kple fia la ƒe dɔnunɔlawo na nu lɔlɔ̃nutɔe.
Then the heads of families, and the princes of the children of Israel, and the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, and the overseers of the works, and the king's builders, offered willingly.
7 Wona nu hena dɔwɔwɔ le Mawu ƒe gbedoxɔ la ŋuti. Wona sika “tɔn” alafa ɖeka blaadre, sika kilogram blaenyi-vɔ-ene kple klosalo “tɔn” alafa etɔ̃ blaene-vɔ-atɔ̃ kple akɔbli “tɔn” alafa ade kple ewo kple gayibɔ “tɔn” akpe etɔ̃ alafa ene blaatɔ̃.
And they gave for the works of the house of the Lord five thousand talents of gold, and ten thousand gold [pieces], and ten thousand talents of silver, and eighteen thousand talents of brass, and a hundred thousand talents of iron.
8 Wogatsɔ kpe xɔasi sɔ gbɔ aɖe na Yehiel, Gerson ƒe dzidzimevi aɖe be, wòatsɔ ade gbedoxɔ la ƒe nudzraɖoƒe.
And they who had [precious] stone, gave it into the treasuries of the house of the Lord by the hand of Jeiel the Gedsonite.
9 Ame sia ame kpɔ dzidzɔ le lɔlɔ̃nununanakpekpeɖeŋunana ƒe mɔnukpɔkpɔ sia ŋu. Fia David ŋutɔ hã kpɔ dzidzɔ ŋutɔ.
And the people rejoiced because of the willingness, for they offered willingly to the Lord with a full heart: and king David rejoiced greatly.
10 David ganɔ ameha blibo la ŋkume eye wòkafu Yehowa gblɔ bena, “Oo, Yehowa, mía fofo Israel ƒe Mawu, woakafu wò ŋkɔ tegbetegbe.
And king David blessed the Lord before the congregation, saying, Blessed art thou, O Lord God of Israel, our Father, from everlasting and to everlasting.
11 Tɔwòe nye ŋusẽ, ŋutikɔkɔe, dziɖuɖu kple gãnyenye. Oo, Yehowa, tɔwòe nye nu sia nu si le dziƒo kple anyigba dzi, míekafu wò be nu sia nu le wò dzikpɔkpɔ te.
Thine, O Lord, [is] the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the might: for thou art Lord of all things that are in heaven and upon the earth: before thy face every king and nation is troubled.
12 Wò ɖeka gbɔ ko kesinɔnuwo kple bubu tsona; wòe nye amegbetɔƒomea dziɖula. Asiwòmee gãnyenye kple ŋusẽ le eye wòe naa gãnyenye kple ŋusẽ ame.
From thee [come] wealth and glory: thou, O Lord, rulest over all, the Lord of all dominion, and in thy hand [is] strength and rule; and [thou art] almighty with thy hand to increase and establish all things.
13 Oo, mía Mawu, míeda akpe na wò eye míekafu wò ŋkɔ kɔkɔe la.
And now, Lord, we give thanks to thee, and praise thy glorious name.
14 “Ke ame kae menye eye ame kawoe nye amewo nye be nàɖe mɔ na mí be míana nane wò? Gbɔwòe nu sia nu si le mía si la tso eye nu si nye tɔwò xoxo la ko míetsɔ na wò!
But who am I, and what [is] my people, that we have been able to be thus forward [in offering] to thee? for all things [are] thine, and of thine own have we given thee,
15 Elabena, ɣeyiɣi kpui aɖe ko míanɔ afi sia; míenye amedzro le anyigba dzi abe ale si mía fofowo nɔ do ŋgɔ na mí ene. Míaƒe ŋkekewo le anyigba dzi le abe vɔvɔlĩ ene; wo nu yina kaba eye wo teƒe buna.
for we are strangers before thee, and sojourners, as all our fathers [were]: our days upon the earth [are] as a shadow, and there is no remaining.
16 Oo, Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu, nu siwo katã míeƒo ƒu da ɖi be míatsɔ atu gbedoxɔ na wò ŋkɔ kɔkɔe la, tso wò ŋutɔ gbɔwò! Tɔwòe wo katã nye!
O Lord our God, as for all this abundance which I have prepared that a house should be built to thy holy name, it is of thy hand, and all [is] thine.
17 Nye Mawu, menya be èdoa amewo kpɔna be yeanya ne wonye ame nyuiwo elabena èkpɔa ŋudzedze le ame nyuiwo ŋu. Mewɔ nu siawo katã kple tameɖoɖo nyui, mekpɔ wò amewo esime wona nuwo lɔlɔ̃nutɔe kple dzidzɔ.
And I know, Lord, that thou art he that searches the hearts, and thou lovest righteousness. I have willingly offered all these things in simplicity of heart; and now I have seen with joy thy people here present, willingly offering to thee.
18 Oo, Yehowa, mía fofowo, Abraham, Isak kple Israel ƒe Mawu! Na wòanye wò amewo ƒe didi be yewoaɖo to wò ɣe sia ɣi eye nàkpɔ egbɔ be woƒe lɔlɔ̃ na wò metrɔ gbeɖe o.
O Lord God of Abraham, and Isaac, and Israel, our fathers, preserve these things in the thought of the heart of thy people for ever, and direct their hearts to thee.
19 Na dzi nyui si trɔ ɖe Mawu ŋu la vinye, Solomo, ale be wòawɔ wò sewo dzi le nu suetɔwo kekeake me eye wòakpɔ mɔ na wò gbedoxɔ si tutu ta mewɔ dzadzraɖo siawo katã la ƒe nuwuwu.”
And to Solomon my son give a good heart, to perform thy commandments, and [to observe] thy testimonies, and thine ordinances, and to accomplish the building of thy house.
20 Azɔ la, David gblɔ na ameawo katã be, “Mikafu Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la” eye wokafu Yehowa, wo fofowo ƒe Mawu la. Wode ta agu le Yehowa kple fia la ŋkume.
And David said to the whole congregation, Bless ye the Lord our God. And all the congregation blessed the Lord God of their fathers, and they bowed the knee and worshipped the Lord, and [did obeisance] to the king.
21 Esi ŋu ke la, wotsɔ nyitsu akpe ɖeka, agbo akpe ɖeka kple alẽvi akpe ɖeka sa numevɔ na Yehowa. Wosa numevɔ kple vɔsa bubu geɖewo ɖe Israel nu.
And David sacrificed to the Lord, and offered up whole-burnt-offerings to the Lord on the morrow after the first day, a thousand calves, a thousand rams, a thousand lambs, and their drink-offerings, and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel.
22 Emegbe la, woɖu nu eye wono nu le Yehowa ŋkume kple dzidzɔ gã aɖe. Wogaɖo Fia David ƒe vi, Solomo, woƒe Fiae zi evelia kpe ɖe Fia David ŋu. Wosi ami nɛ le Yehowa ŋkume abe woƒe kplɔla ene eye wosi ami na Zadok abe woƒe Nunɔla ene.
And they ate and drank joyfully that day before the Lord: and they made Solomon the son of David king a second time, and anointed him king before the Lord, and Sadoc to the priesthood.
23 Ale Mawu na Fia Solomo xɔ fofoa, David ƒe fiazikpui. Nu dze edzi nɛ ŋutɔ eye Israel blibo la ɖo toe.
And Solomon sat upon the throne of his father David, and was highly honoured; and all Israel obeyed him.
24 Dukɔ la kplɔlawo, asrafomegãwo kple nɔviawo katã ka atam be yewoanɔ fia la yome.
The princes, and the mighty men, and all the sons of king David his father, were subject to him.
25 Yehowa na Israelviwo katã lɔ̃e, kesinɔnu geɖewo nɔ esi eye bubu nɔ eŋu wu fofoa.
And the Lord magnified Solomon over all Israel, and gave him royal glory, such as was not upon any king before him.
26 David, Yese ƒe viŋutsu, ɖu fia ɖe Israel blibo la dzi.
And David the son of Jessae reigned over Israel forty years;
27 Eɖu fia ɖe Israel dzi ƒe blaene, ƒe adre le Hebron, ƒe blaetɔ̃-vɔ-etɔ̃ le Yerusalem.
seven years in Chebron, and thirty-three years in Jerusalem.
28 Etsi ŋutɔ, enye kesinɔtɔ kple bubume gã aɖe hafi ku eye via Solomo ɖu fia ɖe eteƒe.
And he died in a good old age, full of days, in wealth, and glory: and Solomon his son reigned in his stead.

And the rest of the acts of David, the former and the latter, are written in the history of Samuel the seer, and in the history of Nathan the prophet, and in the history of Gad the seer,
