Kronika 1 29
1 Fia David trɔ ɖe ameha la gbɔ azɔ hegblɔ na wo be, “Vinye Solomo, ame si Mawu tia be wòanye Israel fia yeyea la, ɖekakpui dzaa aɖe ko wònye, mekpɔ nuteƒe o, ke dɔ si dze ŋgɔe la nye dɔ gã aɖe elabena gbedoxɔ si wòatu la menye xɔ bubu aɖe ko wòanye o. Yehowa Mawu ŋutɔ ƒe xɔe!
And David the king says to all the assembly, “My son Solomon—the one on whom God has fixed—[is] young and tender, and the work [is] great, for the palace is not for man, but for YHWH 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.
and with all my power I have prepared for the house of my God, the gold for [things of] gold, and the silver for [things of] silver, and the bronze for [things of] bronze, the iron for [things of] iron, and the wood for [things of] wood, shoham stones, and settings, and stones of painting and of diverse colors, and all [kinds of] precious stone, and stones of white marble, in abundance.
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 again, because of my delighting in the house of my God, the substance I have—a peculiar treasure of gold and silver—I have given for the house of my God, even over and above all 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 the gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls of the houses,
5 eye sikanuwɔlawo kple klosalonuwɔlawo natsɔ wo awɔ sikanuwo kple klosalonuwo. Azɔ la, ame kae lɔ̃ be yeakɔ ye ɖokui ŋuti egbea na Yehowa?”
even gold for [things of] gold, and silver for [things of] silver, and for all the work by the hand of craftsmen; and who [is] he that is offering to willingly consecrate his hand to YHWH today?”
6 Tete ƒometatɔwo, Israel ƒe towo ƒe tatɔwo, asrafo akpe ɖeka kple asrafo alafa ɖeka nunɔlawo kple fia la ƒe dɔnunɔlawo na nu lɔlɔ̃nutɔe.
And the heads of the fathers, and the heads of the tribes of Israel, and the heads of the thousands, and of the hundreds, and of the heads of the work of the king, offer 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 give for the service of the house of God five thousand talents and ten thousand drams of gold, and ten thousand talents of silver, and eighteen thousand talents of bronze, and one 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 he with whom stones are found has given [them] to the treasury of the house of YHWH, by the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite.
9 Ame sia ame kpɔ dzidzɔ le lɔlɔ̃nununanakpekpeɖeŋunana ƒe mɔnukpɔkpɔ sia ŋu. Fia David ŋutɔ hã kpɔ dzidzɔ ŋutɔ.
And the people rejoice because of their offering willingly, for with a perfect heart they have offered willingly to YHWH; and David the king has also rejoiced [with] great joy.
10 David ganɔ ameha blibo la ŋkume eye wòkafu Yehowa gblɔ bena, “Oo, Yehowa, mía fofo Israel ƒe Mawu, woakafu wò ŋkɔ tegbetegbe.
And David blesses YHWH before the eyes of all the assembly, and David says, “Blessed [are] You, YHWH, God of Israel, our Father, from age even to age.
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.
To You, O YHWH, [is] the greatness, and the might, and the beauty, and the victory, and the splendor, because of all in the heavens and in the earth; to You, O YHWH, [is] the kingdom, and He who is lifting up Himself over all for head;
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.
and the riches, and the honor [are] from before You, and You are ruling over all, and in Your hand [is] power and might, and [it is] in Your hand to make great and to give strength to all.
13 Oo, mía Mawu, míeda akpe na wò eye míekafu wò ŋkɔ kɔkɔe la.
And now, our God, we are giving thanks to You, and giving praise to Your beautiful 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!
indeed, because who [am] I, and who [are] my people, that we retain power to offer thus willingly? But the whole [is] from You, and we have given to You out of Your [own] hand;
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] sojourners and settlers before You, like all our fathers; our days on the land [are] as a shadow, and there is none abiding.
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 our God YHWH, all this store [with] which we have prepared to build a house for You, for Your Holy Name, [is] out of Your [own] hand, and the whole [is] of You.
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 have known, my God, that You are trying the heart, and desire uprightness; I, in the uprightness of my heart, have willingly offered all these; and now, I have seen Your people who are found here with joy to offer willingly to You.
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 YHWH, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, our fathers, keep this for all time for the imagination of the thoughts of the heart of Your people, and prepare their heart for You;
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 give a perfect heart to my son Solomon, to keep Your commands, Your testimonies, and Your statutes, and to do the whole, even to build the palace [for] which I have prepared.”
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 says to all the assembly, “Now bless your God YHWH”; and all the assembly blesses YHWH, God of their fathers, and bows and pays respect to YHWH and 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 they sacrifice sacrifices to YHWH, and cause burnt-offerings to ascend to YHWH on that next day: one thousand bullocks, one thousand rams, one thousand lambs, and their oblations, 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 eat and drink before YHWH on that day with great joy, and cause Solomon son of David to reign a second time, and anoint [him] before YHWH for leader, and Zadok for priest.
23 Ale Mawu na Fia Solomo xɔ fofoa, David ƒe fiazikpui. Nu dze edzi nɛ ŋutɔ eye Israel blibo la ɖo toe.
And Solomon sits on the throne of YHWH for king instead of his father David, and prospers, and all of Israel listens to him,
24 Dukɔ la kplɔlawo, asrafomegãwo kple nɔviawo katã ka atam be yewoanɔ fia la yome.
and all the heads, and the mighty men, and also all the sons of King David have given a hand under Solomon the king;
25 Yehowa na Israelviwo katã lɔ̃e, kesinɔnu geɖewo nɔ esi eye bubu nɔ eŋu wu fofoa.
and YHWH makes Solomon exceedingly great before the eyes of all Israel, and puts on him the splendor of the kingdom that has not been on any king over Israel before him.
26 David, Yese ƒe viŋutsu, ɖu fia ɖe Israel blibo la dzi.
And David son of Jesse has reigned over all Israel,
27 Eɖu fia ɖe Israel dzi ƒe blaene, ƒe adre le Hebron, ƒe blaetɔ̃-vɔ-etɔ̃ le Yerusalem.
and the days that he has reigned over Israel [are] forty years; he reigned in Hebron seven years, and he reigned in Jerusalem thirty-three;
28 Etsi ŋutɔ, enye kesinɔtɔ kple bubume gã aɖe hafi ku eye via Solomo ɖu fia ɖe eteƒe.
and he dies in a good old age, satisfied with days, riches, and honor, and his son Solomon reigns in his stead.
29 Woŋlɔ Fia David ƒe ŋutinya tsitotsito ɖe Nyagblɔɖila Samuel ƒe agbalẽ me, ɖe ŋutinya si Nyagblɔɖila Natan ŋlɔ la me kple esi Nyagblɔɖila Gad ŋlɔ la me.
And the matters of David the king, the first and the last, behold, they are written beside the matters of Samuel the seer, and beside the matters of Nathan the prophet, and beside the matters of Gad the seer,
30 Nuŋlɔɖi siawo ƒo nu tso Fia David ƒe fiaɖuɖu, eƒe ŋusẽ, nu siwo katã dzɔ ɖe eya ŋutɔ dzi, Israel dukɔ la dzi kple dukɔ siwo ƒo xlã Israel dukɔ ƒe fiawo dzi la ŋu.
with all his reign, and his might, and the times that went over him, and over Israel, and over all kingdoms of the lands.
