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 the 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.
And David commanded to gather the strangers that were in the land of Israel; and he set masons to hew wrought stones to build the house of God.
3 Nake akĩruta igera nyingĩ cia gũthondeka mĩcumarĩ ya mĩrango ya ihingo na ya kũnyiitithania indo cia nyũmba thĩinĩ, na gĩcango kĩingĩ gĩtangĩthimĩka.
And David prepared iron in abundance for the nails for the doors of the gates, and for the joinings; and brass in abundance beyond weight;
4 Ningĩ akĩruta mĩgogo ya mĩtarakwa ĩtangĩtarĩka, nĩgũkorwo andũ a Sidoni na a Turo nĩmareheire Daudi mĩgogo mĩingĩ.
Also cedar trees in abundance: for the Zidonians and they of Tyre brought much cedar wood 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.
And David said, Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be built for the LORD must be very magnificent, of fame and of glory throughout all countries: I will therefore now make preparation for it. So David made abundant preparation before his death.
6 Ningĩ agĩĩta mũriũ Solomoni akĩmwatha aakĩre Jehova Ngai wa Isiraeli nyũmba.
Then he called for Solomon his son, and charged him to build an house for the LORD God of Israel.
7 Daudi akĩĩra Solomoni ũũ: “Mũrũ wakwa, ndũire nyendaga gwaka nyũmba ĩtanĩtio na rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova Ngai wakwa.
And David said to Solomon, My son, as for me, it was in my mind to build an 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 word of the LORD came to me, saying, Thou hast shed blood abundantly, and hast made great wars: thou shalt not build an house to my name, because thou hast shed much blood upon 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 thee, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies on every side: 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 an house for my name; and he shall be my son, and I will be his father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel for ever.
11 “Na rĩrĩ, mũrũ wakwa, Jehova aroikara nawe, na ũrogaacĩra na wake nyũmba ya Jehova Ngai waku, ta ũrĩa oigire nĩũgeeka.
Now, my son, the LORD be with thee; and prosper thou, and build the house of the LORD thy God, as he hath said of thee.
12 Jehova arokũhe ũbaarĩrĩri na ũmenyo rĩrĩa agaakũnengera ũthamaki wa Isiraeli, nĩgeetha ũrũmie watho wa Jehova Ngai waku.
Only the LORD give thee wisdom and understanding, and give thee charge concerning Israel, that thou mayest keep the law of the LORD thy 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 shalt thou prosper, if thou shalt take heed to fulfil the statutes and judgments which the LORD charged Moses with concerning Israel: be strong, and of good courage; dread not, nor 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 trouble I have prepared for the house of the LORD an hundred thousand talents of gold, and a million talents of silver; and of brass and iron beyond weight; for it is in abundance: timber also and stone have I prepared; and thou mayest 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
Moreover there are workmen with thee in great numbers, hewers and workers of stone and timber, and all manner of skilful men for every manner 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, and the brass, and the iron, there is no number. Arise therefore, and be doing, and the LORD be with thee.
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? and hath he not given you rest on every side? for he hath given 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 seek the LORD your God; arise therefore, and build ye the sanctuary of the LORD God, to bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and the holy vessels of God, into the house that is to be built to the name of the LORD.
