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 officials of Israel, the officials of the tribes, and the officers of the companies who served the king by division, and the commanders of thousands, and the commanders of hundreds, and the stewards over all the substance and possessions of the king and of his sons, with the officers, and the mighty men, even all the mighty men of valor, 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, it was in my heart to build a house of rest for the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and for the footstool of our God; and I had prepared 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 a house for my name, because you are 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, the God of Israel, chose me out of all the house of my father to be king over Israel forever. For he has chosen Judah to be prince; and in the house of Judah, the house of my father; and among the sons of my father he took pleasure in 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.
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 LORD's kingdom over Israel.
6 Aanjĩĩrire atĩrĩ: ‘Mũriũ waku Solomoni nĩwe ũgaaka nyũmba yakwa na nja ciakwa, nĩgũkorwo nĩndĩmũthuurĩte atuĩke mũriũ wakwa na niĩ nduĩke ithe.
He said to me, 'Solomon, your son, 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.’
I will establish his kingdom forever, if he continues to do my commandments and my ordinances, 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 assembly of the LORD, and in the audience of our God, observe and seek out all the commandments of the LORD your God; that you may possess this good land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children after you forever.
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.
You, Solomon my son, know 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 by you; but if you forsake him, he will cast you off forever.
10 Gĩĩciirie rĩu, nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩwe athuurĩte wa gwaka hekarũ ĩrĩ handũ hatheru. Gĩa na hinya na ũrute wĩra ũcio.”
Consider now, for the LORD has chosen you to build a house for him as a 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 of the temple, and of its houses, and of its treasuries, and of the upper rooms of it, and of the inner rooms of it, 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 Ruach, for the courts of the house of the LORD, and for all the surrounding rooms, for the treasuries of God's house, and for 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 divisions of the cohanim 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:
of gold by weight for the gold, for all vessels of every kind of service; for all the vessels of silver by weight, for all vessels 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:
by weight also for the lampstands of gold, and for its lamps, of gold, by weight for every lampstand and for its lamps; and for the lampstands of silver, by weight for every lampstand and for its lamps, according to the use of every lampstand;
16 ũritũ wa thahabu ya gũthondeka metha ya kũigĩrĩra mĩgate ĩrĩa mĩamũre; na ũritũ wa betha ya gũthondeka metha cia betha;
and the gold by weight for the tables of show bread, for every table; and 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;
and the forks, and the basins, and the cups, of pure gold; and for the golden bowls by weight for every bowl; and for the silver bowls by weight for every bowl;
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, 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, "I have been made to understand in writing from the hand of the LORD, 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.
David said to Solomon his son, "Be strong and courageous, and do it. Do not be afraid, nor be dismayed; for the LORD God, even my God, is with you. He will not leave you or forsake you, until all the work for the service of the house of the LORD is finished.
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.”
Look, there are the divisions of the cohanim and the Levites, for all the service of God's house. There shall be with you in all kinds of work every willing man who has skill, for any kind of service. Also the captains and all the people will be entirely at your command."
