1 Maũndũ 22
1 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Daudi akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nyũmba ya Jehova Ngai ĩgaakwo haha, o na kĩgongona gĩa kũrutagĩrwo maruta ma njino nĩ Isiraeli.”
Then David said, “This is the house of the LORD God, and this is the altar of burnt offering for Israel.”
2 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Daudi agĩathana atĩ ageni othe arĩa maatũũraga Isiraeli macookanĩrĩrio, nake agĩthuura kuuma thĩinĩ wao mabundi a mahiga, nĩgeetha mahaarĩrie na maicũhie mahiga ma gwaka nyũmba ya Ngai.
David gave orders to gather together the foreigners who were in the land of Israel; and he set masons to cut dressed stones to build God’s house.
3 Nake akĩruta igera nyingĩ cia gũthondeka mĩcumarĩ ya mĩrango ya ihingo na ya kũnyiitithania indo cia nyũmba thĩinĩ, na gĩcango kĩingĩ gĩtangĩthimĩka.
David prepared iron in abundance for the nails for the doors of the gates and for the couplings, and bronze in abundance without weight,
4 Ningĩ akĩruta mĩgogo ya mĩtarakwa ĩtangĩtarĩka, nĩgũkorwo andũ a Sidoni na a Turo nĩmareheire Daudi mĩgogo mĩingĩ.
and cedar trees without number, for the Sidonians and the people of Tyre brought cedar trees in abundance to David.
5 Daudi akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũriũ wakwa Solomoni nĩ mwĩthĩ na ndarĩ na ũũgĩ wa kũigana, nayo nyũmba ĩrĩa ĩgwakĩrwo Jehova yagĩrĩirwo nĩgũkorwo ĩrĩ na ũthaka mũnene na ngumo na riiri maitho-inĩ ma ndũrĩrĩ ciothe. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩ ngũhaarĩria mwako wayo.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Daudi akĩhaarĩria maũndũ ma mwako ũcio na njĩra nene atanakua.
David said, “Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be built for the LORD must be exceedingly magnificent, of fame and of glory throughout all countries. I will therefore make preparation for it.” So David prepared abundantly before his death.
6 Ningĩ agĩĩta mũriũ Solomoni akĩmwatha aakĩre Jehova Ngai wa Isiraeli nyũmba.
Then he called for Solomon his son, and commanded him to build a house for the LORD, the God of Israel.
7 Daudi akĩĩra Solomoni ũũ: “Mũrũ wakwa, ndũire nyendaga gwaka nyũmba ĩtanĩtio na rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova Ngai wakwa.
David said to Solomon his son, “As for me, it was in my heart to build a house to the name of the LORD my God.
8 No rĩrĩ, kiugo gĩkĩ kĩa Jehova gĩkĩnginyĩrĩra, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ, ‘Wee nĩũitĩte thakame nyingĩ na ũkarũa mbaara nyingĩ. Ndũgwaka nyũmba ĩtanĩtio na rĩĩtwa rĩakwa, nĩ ũndũ nĩũitithĩtie thakame nyingĩ gũkũ thĩ, maitho-inĩ makwa.
But the LORD’s word came to me, saying, ‘You have shed blood abundantly and have made great wars. You shall not build a house to my name, because you have shed much blood on the earth in my sight.
9 No nĩũkagĩa na mũriũ ũrĩa ũgaatuĩka mũndũ wa thayũ na wa kũhoorera, na nĩngamũhe ũhurũko kuuma kũrĩ thũ ciake mĩena yothe. Rĩĩtwa rĩake ageetwo Solomoni, na hĩndĩ ya ũthamaki wake nĩngaahe Isiraeli thayũ na ũhurũko.
Behold, a son shall be born to you, who shall be a man of peace. I will give him rest from all his enemies all around; for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness to Israel in his days.
10 Ũcio nĩwe ũgaaka nyũmba ĩtanĩtio na Rĩĩtwa rĩakwa. Agaatuĩka mũrũ wakwa, na niĩ nduĩke ithe. Ningĩ nĩngahaanda gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene wake kũu Isiraeli nginya tene.’
He shall build a house for my name; and he will be my son, and I will be his father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever.’
11 “Na rĩrĩ, mũrũ wakwa, Jehova aroikara nawe, na ũrogaacĩra na wake nyũmba ya Jehova Ngai waku, ta ũrĩa oigire nĩũgeeka.
Now, my son, may the LORD be with you and prosper you, and build the house of the LORD your God, as he has spoken concerning you.
12 Jehova arokũhe ũbaarĩrĩri na ũmenyo rĩrĩa agaakũnengera ũthamaki wa Isiraeli, nĩgeetha ũrũmie watho wa Jehova Ngai waku.
May the LORD give you discretion and understanding, and put you in charge of Israel, so that you may keep the law of the LORD your God.
13 Hĩndĩ ĩyo wee nĩũkagaacĩra, ũngĩgatuĩka wa kũmenyagĩrĩra kĩrĩra kĩa watho wake wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo o na watho ũrĩa Jehova aaheire Musa nĩ ũndũ wa Isiraeli. Gĩa na hinya na ũmĩrĩrie. Ndũgetigĩre kana ũkue ngoro.
Then you will prosper, if you observe to do the statutes and the ordinances which the LORD gave Moses concerning Israel. Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid and do not be dismayed.
14 “Nĩndutĩte wĩra mũnene wa kũhaarĩria mwako wa hekarũ ya Jehova, ngaigithia taranda 100,000 cia thahabu, na taranda 1,000,000 cia betha, na icango nyingĩ na igera nyingĩ itangĩthimĩka, na mbaũ na mahiga. Nawe no wongerere ingĩ.
Now, behold, in my affliction I have prepared for the LORD’s house one hundred thousand talents of gold, one million talents of silver, and bronze and iron without weight; for it is in abundance. I have also prepared timber and stone; and you may add to them.
15 Ũrĩ na aruti wĩra aingĩ: aicũhia a mahiga, na aaki a mahiga, na aaki a mbaũ, o hamwe na andũ marĩ na ũũgĩ wa kũruta wĩra o wothe
There are also workmen with you in abundance—cutters and workers of stone and timber, and all kinds of men who are skillful in every kind of work;
16 wa thahabu na wa betha, na wa gĩcango na wa igera, na mabundi maingĩ makĩria. Rĩu kĩambĩrĩrie wĩra, nake Jehova aroikara hamwe nawe.”
of the gold, the silver, the bronze, and the iron, there is no number. Arise and be doing, and may the LORD be with you.”
17 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Daudi agĩatha atongoria othe a Isiraeli mateithie mũriũ Solomoni.
David also commanded all the princes of Israel to help Solomon his son, saying,
18 Akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Githĩ Jehova Ngai wanyu ndarĩ hamwe na inyuĩ? Na githĩ ndamũheete ũhurũko mĩena yothe? Nĩgũkorwo nĩaneanĩte atũũri a bũrũri ũyũ moko-inĩ makwa, na rĩu bũrũri ũrĩ watho-inĩ wa Jehova na andũ ake.
“Is not the LORD your God with you? Has not he given you rest on every side? For he has delivered the inhabitants of the land into my hand; and the land is subdued before the LORD and before his people.
19 Rĩu mwĩheanei ngoro na muoyo mũcarie Jehova Ngai wanyu. Ambĩrĩriai gwaka handũ-harĩa-haamũre ha Jehova Ngai, nĩgeetha mũrehe ithandũkũ rĩa Jehova rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro na indo iria nyamũre cia Ngai itoonyio hekarũ ĩrĩa ĩgwakwo nĩ ũndũ wa Rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova.”
Now set your heart and your soul to follow the LORD your God. Arise therefore, and build the sanctuary of the LORD God, to bring the ark of the LORD’s covenant and the holy vessels of God into the house that is to be built for the LORD’s name.”
