1 Ihe E Mere 22
1 Mgbe ahụ, Devid sịrị, “Ebe a ka a ga-ewuru Onyenwe anyị Chineke ụlọ, nakwa ebe ịchụ aja nke aja nsure ọkụ nye Izrel.”
Then David said, This is the house of the LORD God, and this is the altar of the burnt offering for Israel.
2 Ya mere, Devid nyere iwu ka a kpọkọta ndị ọbịa niile bi nʼIzrel, site nʼetiti ha ọ họpụtara ndị ga-edozi nkume a wara awa nke e ji wuo ụlọ Chineke.
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 Devid wetara ọtụtụ igwe dị ukwuu, nke ha ji akpụta ǹtu maka ibo ọnụ ụzọ ama niile, na nke ịkpụ ihe njikọta niile. O wetakwara bronz a na-apụghị ịkọwa ịdị arọ ya.
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 O webatakwara osisi sida nʼapụghị ịgụta ọnụọgụgụ ha, nʼihi na ndị Taịa na Saịdọn butere ha nʼọnụọgụgụ riri nne nye Devid.
Also cedar trees in abundance: for the Zidonians and they of Tyre brought much cedar wood to David.
5 Mgbe ahụ, Devid kwuru, “Solomọn nwa m bụ nwantakịrị, onye na-amachabeghị ihe. Ma ụlọnsọ a ga-ewuru Onyenwe anyị ga-abụ ụlọ dị ukwuu, nke ga-enwe aha a ma ama, na nke mara ezi mma nʼanya mba niile dị nʼụwa. Nʼihi ya, aga m akpakọba ihe niile e ji ewu ya.” Ya mere, tupu Devid anwụọ, ọ kwakọtara ngwongwo riri nne.
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 Ọ kpọrọ Solomọn, bụ nwa ya, nye ya iwu iwuru Onyenwe anyị, bụ Chineke nke Izrel ụlọ.
Then he called for Solomon his son, and charged him to build an house for the LORD God of Israel.
7 Devid gwara Solomọn sị, “Nwa m, ọ dị m nʼobi iwu ụlọ maka aha Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke m,
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 ma okwu Onyenwe anyị ndị a ruru m ntị sị m, ‘Ị wụsịala ọtụtụ ọbara, bukwaa ọtụtụ agha. Ị gaghị ewu ụlọ nye Aha m, nʼihi na ị wụsịala ọtụtụ ọbara nʼelu ala nʼihu m.
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 Ma ị ga-amụta otu nwa nwoke onye ga-abụ mmadụ udo, na onye ga-enwe izuike nʼoge ya. Aga m enye ya izuike site nʼaka ndị iro ya nʼakụkụ niile. Aha ya ga-abụ Solomọn. Aga m enye Izrel udo na ahụ dị jụụ nʼoge ọchịchị ya.
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 Ya onwe ya ga-ewuru m ụlọ ahụ. Ọ ga-abụrụ m nwa, mụ onwe m ga-abụkwara ya nna. Aga m emekwa ka ocheeze alaeze ya nʼIzrel guzosie ike ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.’
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 “Ya mere, ugbu a nwa m, ka Onyenwe anyị nọnyere gị mgbe ị ga-ewu ụlọ Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị, dịka o kwuru na ị ga-eme.
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 Onyenwe anyị nyekwa gị amamihe na nghọta nke ị ga-eji chịa ezi ọchịchị mgbe ị ghọrọ eze Izrel, ka i si otu a debe iwu Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị.
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 Mgbe ahụ, ị ga-enwe ọganihu, ma ọ bụrụ na i lezie anya idebe iwu na ụkpụrụ niile nke Onyenwe anyị nyere Mosis maka Izrel. Dị ike, nwee obi ike. Atụla ụjọ, maọbụ daa mba.
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 “Ejisiela m ike chịkọtaa ihe maka ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị, narị puku talenti ọlaedo na nde talenti ọlaọcha, na igwe, na bronz, nke a na-apụghị ịgụta ịdị arọ ha, na osisi, na nkume. I nwere ike itinyekwa ihe ndị ọzọ nʼime ha.
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 Lee, i nwekwara ọtụtụ ndị ọrụ ndị na-awa nkume, na ndị na-edo nkume, na ndị ọka osisi, na ndị a maara aha ha nʼihe gbasara ǹka nʼọrụ dị iche iche,
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 ọlaedo, na ọlaọcha, na bronz, na igwe, ndị ọrụ nʼenweghị ọnụọgụgụ. Onyenwe anyị aghaghị ịnọnyere gị. Bilie, rụọ ọrụ dịịrị gị.”
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 Devid nyere ndịisi Izrel iwu ka ha nyere nwa ya Solomọn aka, mgbe ọ ga-ewu ụlọ ahụ.
David also commanded all the princes of Israel to help Solomon his son, saying,
18 Ọ gwara ha okwu sị, “Ọ bụ na Onyenwe anyị Chineke anọnyereghị unu? Ọ bụ na o nyebeghị unu udo nʼakụkụ niile? Nʼihi na o nyela m mmeri nʼebe ndị iro m nọ. Ugbu a, ala a dịkwa nʼaka Onyenwe anyị na nʼaka ndị ya.
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 Ya mere, tinyenụ obi unu na mmụọ unu nʼịgbaso Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu. Malitekwanụ iwu ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị Chineke, ka unu nweekwa ike ibubata igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị, na ihe nsọ ndị ọzọ nʼime ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ a ga-ewu nʼihi Aha Onyenwe anyị.”
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.
