1 Tawarikh 22

1 Lalu berkatalah Daud: "Di sinilah rumah TUHAN, Allah kita, dan di sinilah mezbah untuk korban bakaran orang Israel."

Then David said, “Here, [at the edge of Jerusalem, ] is where [we will build] the temple for our God Yahweh, and where [we will make] the altar for burning the offerings that the Israeli [people will bring].”

2 Daud menyuruh mengumpulkan orang-orang asing yang ada di negeri orang Israel, lalu ditempatkannya tukang-tukang untuk memahat batu-batu pahat yang akan dipakai untuk mendirikan rumah Allah.

So David commanded that the foreigners who lived in Israel must gather together. [When they did that, ] he appointed [some of those] men to [cut huge] stones [from the quarries] and to smooth their surfaces, to be used to build the temple of God.

3 Selanjutnya Daud menyediakan sangat banyak besi untuk paku-paku bagi daun pintu gerbang dan bagi tupai-tupai, juga sangat banyak tembaga yang tidak tertimbang beratnya,

David provided a large amount of iron for making nails and hinges for the doors in the gates of the temple. He also provided so much bronze [for making the altar and various utensils], that no one could weigh it all.

4 dan kayu aras yang tidak terbilang banyaknya, sebab orang Sidon dan orang Tirus membawa sangat banyak kayu aras bagi Daud.

He also provided [money for buying] a large amount of cedar logs. Because there was a huge number of them, no one was able to count them. Those were logs that men from Tyre and Sidon [cities] sent to David.

5 Karena pikir Daud: "Salomo, anakku, masih muda dan kurang berpengalaman, dan rumah yang harus didirikannya bagi TUHAN haruslah luar biasa besarnya sehingga menjadi kenamaan dan termasyhur di segala negeri; sebab itu baiklah aku mengadakan persediaan baginya!" Lalu Daud membuat sangat banyak persediaan sebelum ia mati.

David [provided all those things because he] thought, “My son Solomon is still young and he does not know what he needs to know [about building], and the temple of Yahweh must be (magnificent/very beautiful). It must be a glorious building that will become famous, and people throughout the world must consider it to be glorious/splendid. So now I will begin to prepare for it to be built, [and Solomon will be responsible for building it].” So David collected a great amount of building materials before he died.

6 Kemudian dipanggilnya Salomo, anaknya, dan diberinya perintah kepadanya untuk mendirikan rumah bagi TUHAN, Allah Israel,

[When] David [was old, he] summoned his son Solomon, and told him that he should arrange for a temple to be built for Yahweh, the God whom the Israelis [worshiped].

7 kata Daud kepada Salomo: "Anakku, aku sendiri bermaksud hendak mendirikan rumah bagi nama TUHAN, Allahku,

He said to him, “I wanted [IDM] to build a temple to honor [MTY] Yahweh, my God.

8 tetapi firman TUHAN datang kepadaku, demikian: Telah kautumpahkan sangat banyak darah dan telah kaulakukan peperangan yang besar; engkau tidak akan mendirikan rumah bagi nama-Ku, sebab sudah banyak darah kautumpahkan ke tanah di hadapan-Ku.

But Yahweh told [a prophet to tell] me, ‘You have killed many men [MTY] in the battles that you have fought. I have seen the blood of all the people whom you killed, so you will not be the one who will arrange for a temple to be built to honor me [MTY].

9 Sesungguhnya, seorang anak laki-laki akan lahir bagimu; ia akan menjadi seorang yang dikaruniai keamanan. Aku akan mengaruniakan keamanan kepadanya dari segala musuhnya di sekeliling. Ia akan bernama Salomo; sejahtera dan sentosa akan Kuberikan atas Israel pada zamannya.

But you will have a son [who will be king of Israel after you die]. He will be a man who is peaceful and quiet, [not a man who kills others]. And I will cause that there will be peace between him and his enemies who are in all the nearby lands. His name will be Solomon, [which sounds like the word for peace]. During the time that he is king, people in Israel will be peaceful and safe.

10 Dialah yang akan mendirikan rumah bagi nama-Ku dan dialah yang akan menjadi anak-Ku dan Aku akan menjadi Bapanya; Aku akan mengokohkan takhta kerajaannya atas Israel sampai selama-lamanya.

He is the one who will arrange for a temple to be built to honor me [MTY]. He will be [like] a son to me, and I will cause some of his descendants to rule [MTY] over Israel forever [HYP].’

11 Maka sekarang, hai anakku, TUHAN kiranya menyertai engkau, sehingga engkau berhasil mendirikan rumah TUHAN, Allahmu, seperti yang difirmankan-Nya mengenai engkau.

“So now, my son, I hope/wish that Yahweh will help you, and enable you to be successful in arranging for building the temple of Yahweh, your God, which is what he said that you would do.

12 Hanya, TUHAN kiranya memberikan kepadamu akal budi dan pengertian dan membuat engkau menjadi pemegang perintah atas Israel, supaya engkau memelihara Taurat TUHAN, Allahmu.

I also hope/wish that he will enable you to be wise and to understand what you need to know, and enable you to obey his laws while you rule over Israel.

13 Maka engkau akan berhasil, jika engkau melakukan dengan setia ketetapan-ketetapan dan hukum-hukum yang diperintahkan TUHAN kepada Musa untuk orang Israel. Kuatkan dan teguhkanlah hatimu, janganlah takut dan janganlah tawar hati.

If you carefully obey all the laws and regulations/commands that Yahweh gave to Moses to give to us Israeli people, you will be successful. So be steadfast/strong and courageous. Do not be afraid of anything, and do not become discouraged!

14 Sesungguhnya, sekalipun dalam kesusahan, aku telah menyediakan untuk rumah TUHAN itu seratus ribu talenta emas dan sejuta talenta perak dan sangat banyak tembaga dan besi, sehingga beratnya tidak tertimbang; juga aku telah menyediakan kayu dan batu. Tetapi baiklah engkau menambahnya lagi.

“I have tried hard to provide [materials] for [building] the temple of Yahweh. I have provided nearly 4,000 tons of gold, and nearly 40,000 tons of silver. I have also provided a very large amount of iron and bronze; no one has been able to weigh it all. I have also gathered/provided lumber and stone [for the walls of the temple], but you may need to get some more of those things.

15 Lagipula engkau mempunyai sangat banyak pekerja, yakni pemahat-pemahat batu, tukang-tukang batu dan kayu dan orang-orang yang ahli dalam segala macam pekerjaan

There are many men [in Israel] who have good ability to cut big stones for making stone walls, and carpenters, and men who are very skilled at making various kinds of things.

16 emas, perak, tembaga dan besi, yang tidak terhitung banyaknya. Mulailah bekerja! TUHAN kiranya menyertai engkau!"

There are many men who know how to make things from gold and silver and bronze and iron. So now [I say to you], begin the work [of building the temple], and I hope/wish that Yahweh will help/be with you.”

17 Dan Daud memberi perintah kepada segala pembesar Israel itu untuk memberi bantuan kepada Salomo, anaknya, katanya:

Then David commanded that all the Israeli leaders must assist Solomon. He said to them,

18 "Bukankah TUHAN, Allahmu, menyertai kamu dan telah mengaruniakan keamanan kepadamu ke segala penjuru. Sungguh, Ia telah menyerahkan penduduk negeri ini ke dalam tanganku, sehingga negeri ini takluk ke hadapan TUHAN dan kepada umat-Nya.

“Yahweh our God is certainly with/helping you [RHQ]. He has allowed you to have peace with all the nearby nations [RHQ]. He has enabled my [army] to conquer [IDM] them, so now Yahweh and my people control them.

19 Maka sekarang, arahkanlah hati dan jiwamu untuk mencari TUHAN, Allahmu. Mulailah mendirikan tempat kudus TUHAN, Allah, supaya tabut perjanjian TUHAN dan perkakas kudus Allah dapat dibawa masuk ke dalam rumah yang didirikan bagi nama TUHAN."

Now you must obey Yahweh completely. Help Solomon to arrange for building the temple for Yahweh God, in order that you can bring the Sacred Chest that contains the Ten Commandments and the other sacred items that belong to God into the temple that you will build to honor Yahweh.”
