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 princes of Israel, the princes of the tribes, and the captains of the companies that ministered to the king by course, and the captains over the thousands, and captains over the hundreds, and the stewards over all the substance and possession of the king, and of his sons, with the officers, and with the mighty men, and with all the valiant men, to 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.
Then David the king stood up on his feet, and said, Hear me, my brothers, and my people: As for me, I had in my heart to build an house of rest for the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and for the footstool of our God, and had made ready for the building:
3 No Ngai akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Wee ndũgwaka nyũmba ĩtanĩtio na Rĩĩtwa rĩakwa, tondũ wee ũrĩ mũndũ wa mbaara na nĩũitĩte thakame.’
But God said to me, You shall not build an house for my name, because you have been a man of war, and have 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.
However, the LORD God of Israel chose me before all the house of my father to be king over Israel for ever: for he has chosen Judah to be the ruler; and of the house of Judah, the house of my father; and among the sons of my father he liked me to make 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 of all my sons, (for the LORD has given me many sons, ) he has chosen Solomon my son to sit on 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 your son, he shall build my house and my courts: for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be his father.
7 Nĩngahaanda ũthamaki wake nginya tene angĩtũũra arũmĩtie maathani na mawatho makwa ta ũrĩa kũrekwo ihinda rĩĩrĩ.’
Moreover I will establish his kingdom for ever, if he be constant to do 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 therefore in the sight of all Israel the congregation of the LORD, and in the audience of our God, keep and seek for all the commandments of the LORD your God: that you may possess this good land, and leave it for an inheritance for 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 you, Solomon my son, know you the God of your father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the LORD searches all hearts, and understands all the imaginations of the thoughts: if you seek him, he will be found of you; but if you forsake him, he will cast you off for ever.
10 Gĩĩciirie rĩu, nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩwe athuurĩte wa gwaka hekarũ ĩrĩ handũ hatheru. Gĩa na hinya na ũrute wĩra ũcio.”
Take heed now; for the LORD has chosen you to build an house for the sanctuary: be strong, 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.
Then David gave to Solomon his son the pattern of the porch, and of the houses thereof, and of the treasuries thereof, and of the upper chambers thereof, and of the inner parlors thereof, and of the place of 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.
And the pattern of all that he had by the spirit, of the courts of the house of the LORD, and of all the chambers round about, of the treasuries of the house of God, and of the treasuries of the dedicated 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.
Also for the courses of the priests and the Levites, and for all the work of the service of the house of the LORD, and for all the vessels of service in the house 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:
He gave of gold by weight for things of gold, for all instruments of all manner of service; silver also for all instruments of silver by weight, for all instruments of every kind of service:
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:
Even the weight for the candlesticks of gold, and for their lamps of gold, by weight for every candlestick, and for the lamps thereof: and for the candlesticks of silver by weight, both for the candlestick, and also for the lamps thereof, according to the use of every candlestick.
16 ũritũ wa thahabu ya gũthondeka metha ya kũigĩrĩra mĩgate ĩrĩa mĩamũre; na ũritũ wa betha ya gũthondeka metha cia betha;
And by weight he gave gold for the tables of show bread, for every table; and likewise silver for the 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;
Also pure gold for the meat hooks, and the bowls, and the cups: and for the golden basins he gave gold by weight for every basin; and likewise silver by weight for every basin 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 refined gold by weight; and gold for the pattern of the chariot of the cherubim, that spread out their wings, and covered 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 this, said David, the LORD made me understand in writing by his hand on me, even all the works of this 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, Be strong and of good courage, and do it: fear not, nor be dismayed: for the LORD God, even my God, will be with you; he will not fail you, nor forsake you, until you have 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.”
And, behold, the courses of the priests and the Levites, even they shall be with you for all the service of the house of God: and there shall be with you for all manner of workmanship every willing skillful man, for any manner of service: also the princes and all the people will be wholly at your commandment.
