1 Maũndũ 28
1 Daudi nĩatũmanĩire anene othe a Isiraeli moongane Jerusalemu, nao nĩo: anene arĩa maarũgamĩrĩire mĩhĩrĩga, na anene a ikundi iria ciatungatagĩra mũthamaki, na anene a ikundi cia o ngiri ngiri na anene a ikundi cia o igana igana, na anene arĩa maarũgamĩrĩire indo ciothe na mahiũ ma mũthamaki na ma ariũ ake o na anene a nyũmba ya ũthamaki, na andũ arĩa maarĩ njamba, na andũ othe arĩa maarĩ ũrũme wa kũrũa mbaara.
And David assembled all the chief men of Israel, the princes of the tribes, and the captains of the companies, who waited on the king: and the captains over thousands, and over hundreds, and them who had the charge over the substance and possessions of the king, and his sons with the officers of the court, and the men of power, and all the bravest of the army at Jerusalem.
2 Mũthamaki Daudi nĩarũgamire akĩmeera atĩrĩ: “Ta thikĩrĩriai, inyuĩ ariũ a baba na andũ akwa. Nĩndatuĩte na ngoro yakwa gwaka nyũmba ĩtuĩke handũ ha kũhurũkio ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa Jehova, arĩ ho gaturwa ka makinya ma Ngai witũ, na ngĩĩhaarĩria kũmĩaka.
And the king rising up, and standing said: Hear me, my brethren and my people: I had a thought to have built a house, in which the ark of the Lord, and the footstool of our God might rest: and I prepared all things for the building.
3 No Ngai akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Wee ndũgwaka nyũmba ĩtanĩtio na Rĩĩtwa rĩakwa, tondũ wee ũrĩ mũndũ wa mbaara na nĩũitĩte thakame.’
And God said to me: Thou shalt not build a house to my name: because thou art a man of war, and hast shed blood.
4 “No Jehova, Ngai wa Isiraeli, nĩathuurire kuuma kũrĩ nyũmba iitũ yothe nduĩke mũthamaki wa Isiraeli nginya tene. Nĩathuurire Juda atuĩke mũtongoria, na kuuma nyũmba ya Juda agĩthuura nyũmba ya baba, na kuuma kũrĩ ariũ a baba akĩona kwagĩrĩire aandue niĩ mũthamaki wa Isiraeli yothe.
But the Lord God of Israel chose me of all the house of my father, to be king over Israel for ever: for of Juda he chose the princes: and of the house of Juda, my father’s house: and among the sons of my father, it pleased him to choose me king over all Israel.
5 Harĩ ariũ akwa othe, tondũ Jehova nĩaheete ariũ aingĩ-rĩ, nĩathuurĩte mũriũ wakwa Solomoni aikarĩre gĩtĩ kĩa ũthamaki wa Jehova, athamakĩre Isiraeli.
And among my sons (for the Lord hath given me many sons) he hath chosen Solomon my son, to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of the Lord over Israel.
6 Aanjĩĩrire atĩrĩ: ‘Mũriũ waku Solomoni nĩwe ũgaaka nyũmba yakwa na nja ciakwa, nĩgũkorwo nĩndĩmũthuurĩte atuĩke mũriũ wakwa na niĩ nduĩke ithe.
And he said to me: Solomon thy son shall build my house, and my courts: for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be a father to him.
7 Nĩngahaanda ũthamaki wake nginya tene angĩtũũra arũmĩtie maathani na mawatho makwa ta ũrĩa kũrekwo ihinda rĩĩrĩ.’
And I will establish his kingdom for ever, if he continue to keep my commandments, and my judgments, as at this day.
8 “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, rĩu ndamwatha o haha maitho-inĩ ma andũ a Isiraeli othe na kĩũngano gĩkĩ kĩa Jehova, o nake Ngai witũ akĩiguaga: Mũmenyerere, na mũrũmagĩrĩre maathani mothe ma Jehova Ngai wanyu, nĩgeetha mwĩgwatĩre bũrũri ũyũ mwega, na mũkaũtigĩra njiaro cianyu ũtuĩke igai rĩao nginya tene.
Now then before all the assembly of Israel, in the hearing of our God, keep ye, and seek all the commandments of the Lord our God: that you may possess the good land, and may leave it to your children after you for ever.
9 “Nawe mũrũ wakwa Solomoni-rĩ, tũũra ũmenyete Ngai wa thoguo, na ũmũtungatagĩre wĩrutĩire na ngoro yaku yothe na kwĩyendera, nĩgũkorwo Jehova atuĩragia ngoro o yothe, na akamenya gĩtũmi o gĩothe kĩa meciiria ma cio. Ũngĩmũrongooria no ũmuone; no ũngĩmũtirika, agaakũrega nginya tene.
And thou my son Solomon, know the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart, and a willing mind: for the Lord searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the thoughts of minds. If thou seek him, thou shalt find him: but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever.
10 Gĩĩciirie rĩu, nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩwe athuurĩte wa gwaka hekarũ ĩrĩ handũ hatheru. Gĩa na hinya na ũrute wĩra ũcio.”
Now therefore seeing the Lord hath chosen thee to build the house of the sanctuary, take courage, and do it.
11 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Daudi akĩnengera mũriũ Solomoni mĩcoro ya mwako wa gĩthaku kĩa hekarũ, na nyũmba ciayo, na nyũmba cia kũigwo indo, na tũnyũmba twayo twa igũrũ, na tũnyũmba twa thĩinĩ, na handũ ha kũhoroherio mehia.
And David gave to Solomon his son a description of the porch, and of the temple, and of the treasures, and of the upper floor, and of the inner chambers, and of the house for the mercy seat,
12 Akĩmũnengera mĩcoro ya mĩako yothe ĩrĩa Roho eekĩrĩte meciiria-inĩ make ĩkoniĩ nja cia hekarũ ya Jehova, na ya tũnyũmba tuothe tũrĩa twamĩthiũrũrũkĩirie na tũnyũmba twa kũigwo igĩĩna cia hekarũ ya Ngai, na gwa kũigwo igĩĩna cia indo iria nyamũre.
As also of all the courts, which he had in his thought, and of the chambers round about, for the treasures of the house of the Lord, and for the treasures of the consecrated things,
13 Ningĩ akĩmũtaarĩria wĩra wa ikundi cia athĩnjĩri-Ngai, na wa Alawii, na wĩra wothe wa ũtungata thĩinĩ wa hekarũ ya Jehova, o na wa indo ciothe cia kũhũthagĩrwo ũtungata-inĩ wayo.
And of the divisions of the priests and of the Levites, for all the works of the house of the Lord, and for all the vessels of the service of the temple of the Lord.
14 Nake akĩheana mũigana wa ũritũ wa thahabu ya gũthondeka indo ciothe cia thahabu cia kũhũthagĩrwo ũtungata-inĩ wa mĩthemba o mĩthemba, na ũritũ wa betha ya gũthondeka indo ciothe cia betha cia kũhũthagĩrwo ũtungata-inĩ wa mĩthemba o mĩthemba, ta ũũ:
Gold by weight for every vessel for the ministry. And silver by weight according to the diversity of the vessels and uses.
15 ũritũ wa thahabu ya gũthondeka mĩtĩ ya thahabu ya kũigĩrĩrwo matawa na matawa mayo, na ũritũ wa o mũtĩ na matawa maguo; na ũritũ wa betha ya gũthondeka o mũtĩ wa betha wa kũigĩrĩra tawa na matawa maguo, kũringana na ũrĩa mũtĩ wa kũigĩrĩra matawa wahũthagĩrwo:
He gave also gold for the golden candlesticks, and their lamps, according to the dimensions of every candlestick, and the lamps thereof. In like manner also he gave silver by weight for the silver candlesticks, and for their lamps according to the diversity of the dimensions of them.
16 ũritũ wa thahabu ya gũthondeka metha ya kũigĩrĩra mĩgate ĩrĩa mĩamũre; na ũritũ wa betha ya gũthondeka metha cia betha;
He gave also gold for the tables of proposition, according to the diversity of the tables: in like manner also silver for other tables of silver.
17 na ũritũ wa thahabu therie ya gũthondeka hũũma, na mbakũri cia kũminjaminjĩria, na nyũngũ, ũritũ wa thahabu ya gũthondeka o thaani ya thahabu; na ũritũ wa betha ya gũthondeka o thaani ya betha;
For fleshhooks also, and bowls, and censers of fine gold, and for little lions of gold, according to the measure he gave by weight, for every lion. In like manner also for lions of silver he set aside a different weight of silver.
18 na ũritũ wa thahabu therie ya gũthondeka kĩgongona gĩa gũcinĩrwo ũbumba. O na ningĩ akĩmũnengera mũcoro wa ngaari ya ita, ũguo nĩ kuuga ya makerubi ma thahabu marĩa maatambũrũkĩtie mathagu makahumbĩra ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa Jehova.
And for the altar of incense, he gave the purest gold: and to make the likeness of the chariot of the cherubims spreading their wings, and covering the ark of the covenant of the Lord.
19 Daudi akiuga atĩrĩ, “Maũndũ maya mothe ndĩmandĩkĩte ũrĩa ndatongoririo nĩ guoko kwa Jehova kũrĩ igũrũ rĩakwa, na akĩĩhe ũmenyo wa maũndũ mothe ma mũcoro ũyũ.”
All these things, said he, came to me written by the hand of the Lord that I might understand all the works of the pattern.
20 Ningĩ Daudi akĩĩra mũriũ Solomoni atĩrĩ, “Gĩa na hinya na wĩyũmĩrĩrie, na ũrute wĩra ũcio. Ndũgetigĩre na ndũgakue ngoro, tondũ Jehova Ngai, o we Ngai wakwa, arĩ hamwe nawe. Ndagagũtiganĩria kana agũtirike nginya rĩrĩa wĩra wothe ũrĩa ũkaarutwo nĩ ũndũ wa ũtungata wa hekarũ ya Jehova ũgaathira.
And David said to Solomon his son: Act like a man, and take courage, and do: fear not, and be not dismayed: for the Lord my God will be with thee, and will not leave thee, nor forsake thee, till thou hast finished all the work for the service of the house of the Lord.
21 Ikundi cia athĩnjĩri-Ngai na Alawii, nĩciĩhaarĩrie nĩ ũndũ wa wĩra wothe wa hekarũ ya Ngai, na mũndũ o wothe ũrĩ na wendo na nĩoĩ wĩra wa ũbundi o wothe nĩagagũteithia wĩra-inĩ ũyũ. Anene na andũ othe nĩmarĩathĩkagĩra wathani waku wothe.”
Behold the courses of the priests and the Levites, for every ministry of the house of the Lord, stand by thee, and are ready, and both the princes, and the people know how to execute all thy commandments.
