1 Tokosra David el sapkin tuh mwet kol lun Israel nukewa in toeni nu Jerusalem. Ke ma inge mwet kol ke sruf nukewa, mwet fulat su karingin oakwuk ac orekma lun tokosrai uh, sifen kais sie sou lulap, mwet liyaung ima ac kosro nutin tokosra ac wen natul — aok, mwet kol nukewa inkul sin tokosra, ac captain lun un mwet mweun, ac mwet fulat nukewa — elos tukeni nu Jerusalem.
David summoned all the leaders of Israel to come to Jerusalem. He summoned the leaders of the tribes, the leaders/commanders of the groups that worked for the king, the commanders of 100 soldiers, the commanders of 1,000 soldiers, those who were in charge of the property and livestock that belonged to the king and his sons, all the palace officials, and his mighty soldiers and bravest warriors.
2 David el tuyak ye mutalos ac fahk, “Porongeyu, mwet wiuk ac mwet luk. Nga tuh kena musaela sie lohm tuh Tuptup in Wuleang in oakwuki we, su loangeyen nien LEUM GOD lasr. Ac nga akola tari in musai sie tempul in akfulatyal.
David stood up and said, “My fellow Israelis, listen to me. I wanted [IDM] to build a temple to be a place where we would put the Sacred Chest of Yahweh, where it would stay permanently. And I made plans to build it.
3 Tusruktu, El tia lela nu sik in oru, mweyen nga sie mwet mweun ac yokla srah nga aksororyela.
But God said to me, ‘You are not the one who will [arrange to] build a temple for me [MTY], because you are a warrior and you have killed many people [MTY] [in battles].’
4 LEUM GOD, su God lun Israel, El suleyula ac tulik nutik in tokosra fin mwet Israel nwe tok. El sulela sruf lal Judah tuh elos in mwet kol, ac liki inmasrlon mwet Judah El sulela sou lun papa tumuk. Na liki inmasrlon sou sac nufon El tuh insewowo in eisyu ac oru tuh nga in tokosra fin Israel nufon.
“But Yahweh, the God to whom we Israelis belong, had chosen me and my descendants to be the kings of Israel forever. [First] he chose the tribe of Judah, and from the people [MTY] of Judah he chose my family, and from my father’s sons he chose me to be the king over all of Israel.
5 El ase wen pus nutik, ac liki inmasrlolos nufon El sulella Solomon tuh elan leum fin Israel, tokosrai lun LEUM GOD.
Yahweh has given me many sons, but from them he chose my son Solomon to be the next king to rule [MTY] the kingdom of Israel.
6 “LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, ‘Solomon, wen nutum, pa ac musaela Tempul luk. Nga sulella tari tuh el fah wen nutik, ac nga ac fah papa tumal.
He said to me, ‘Solomon your son is the one who will [arrange to] build my temple and the courtyards around it, because I have chosen him to be [like] my son and I will be [like] [MET] his father.
7 Nga ac fah oru tuh tokosrai lal in oan ma pahtpat el fin oaru na in akos ma sap luk, oana ke el oru inge.’
I will enable his kingdom to endure forever if he continues to obey my laws and commands, like you are doing now.’
8 “Ke ma inge, mwet luk, ye mutun God lasr ac ye mutun walil se lun Israel inge, su mwet lun LEUM GOD, nga sap ku nu suwos tuh kowos in arulana karinganang ma nukewa ma LEUM GOD lasr El sapkin nu sesr, kowos in mau ku in mutana in acn wowo se inge, ac filiya tuh in mwe usru nu sin fwilin tulik nutuwos nwe tok.”
“So now, while all [you people of] Israel, all of you who belong to Yahweh, are watching, and while God is listening, I command you [leaders] to carefully obey all the commands of Yahweh our God, in order that you may continue to possess this good land and enable your descendants to inherit it forever.
9 Na el fahk nu sel Solomon, “Wen nutik, nga sap ku nu sum tuh kom in etu ac akilen God lun papa tomom, ac kulansupwal ke insewowo ac nunak pwaye. El etu nunak lasr ac lungse lasr nukewa. Kom fin sokol, El ac fah liyekomyang, a kom fin forla lukel, El ac fah siskomla nwe tok.
“And you, my son Solomon, must know God like I know him, and you must serve him faithfully and because you want to. You must do that because he knows what everyone is thinking and he understands the reasons that people do what they do. If you seek [to know] him, he will heed your prayers. But if you abandon/reject him, he will abandon/reject you forever.
10 Kom in akilen lah LEUM GOD El sulekomla tuh kom in musai Tempul mutal lal. Inge kom in orala, ac oru ke kuiyom nufon.”
Yahweh has chosen you to [arrange to] build a temple for him. So think about [what I have said], and be strong and do what [he is wanting you to do].”
11 David el sang plan nukewa ke inkul lun Tempul uh nu sel Solomon — nu ke nien filma ac infukil nukewa saya, oayapa nu ke Acn Mutal na Mutal, su nien eis nunak munas ke ma koluk.
Then David gave to his son Solomon [the scroll on which were written] the plans for the main rooms of the temple, its porch, its storerooms, all the other upper and lower rooms, and the Very Holy Place where God would forgive the sins that people had committed.
12 El oayapa sang nu sel Solomon plan nukewa ma el oakiya nu ke likinum in Tempul ac lohm nukewa rauneak likinum uh, oayapa fukil in karinganang kufwen mwe orekma lun Tempul ac mwe sang ma kisakinyukla nu sin LEUM GOD.
David wrote for him the plans that God’s Spirit had put into his mind for building the courtyards and all the rooms that surrounded the temple, including the room where the money and other valuable things that were dedicated to God would be kept.
13 David el oayapa sang nu sel oakwuk lal ke kunokon lun mwet tol ac mwet Levi, nu ke orekma lalos in Tempul, oayapa nu ke karinganang kufwen mwe orekma nukewa in Tempul uh.
He gave Solomon instructions for the groups of priests and other descendants of Levi, about all the work that they must do to serve in Yahweh’s temple, and about taking care of all the things that would be used in the work at the temple.
14 El fahkang pac lupan silver ac gold ma fal in sang orala ahlu ma ac orekmakinyuk ke pacl in alu,
He wrote down how much gold and how much silver should be used to make all the items in the temple:
15 oayapa nu ke kais sie lam ac sukan lam uh,
how much gold for making the gold lampstands and the lamps, how much silver to make the silver lamps and lampstands,
16 ac nu ke tepu silver, ac nu ke kais sie tepu gold ma bread kisakinyuk nu sin God ac fah oan fac.
how much gold for making the table on which [the priests would put] the sacred bread, how much silver to use to make the other tables,
17 El oayapa fahkang lupan gold nasnas ma ac orekmakinyuk in sang orala fork, bowl, ac sufa, oayapa lupan silver ac gold in sang orek ahlu saya,
how much pure gold for the meat forks and the bowls and the cups, how much gold for each gold dish, how much silver for each silver dish,
18 ac lupan gold nasnas in sang orala loang in kisakin mwe kisa keng, oayapa chariot in us cherub uh su po sohksok lalos ac fah asrosrelik ac sunya Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD.
and how much pure gold to make the altar for [burning] incense. He also gave to Solomon his plans for making the golden statues of winged creatures that would be above the Sacred Chest of Yahweh, [like] a chariot for him.
19 Tokosra David el fahk, “Ma inge nukewa oasr ke plan se ma simla fal nu ke ma LEUM GOD El sifacna akkalemye ac ase nu sik in tafwela.”
Then David said, “I have written [all these plans] while Yahweh was directing [MTY] me. He has enabled me to understand all the details of his plan [for the temple that is to be built].”
20 Tokosra David el fahk nu sel Solomon, wen natul, “Kom in ku ac pulaik na. Mutaweak orekma an, ac nimet lela kutena ma in kutongya. LEUM GOD, su nga kulansupu, El ac fah wi kom. El ac fah tia siskomla, a El ac fah muta yurum nwe ke kom aksafyela orekma nukewa nu ke Tempul uh.
David also said to his son Solomon, “Be strong and courageous, and do this work. Do not be afraid or discouraged, because Yahweh our God will be with/helping you. He will not fail [to help] you or abandon you until you finish all the work of making his temple.
21 Itukyang tari ma kunen mwet tol ac mwet Levi, ma elos in oru in Tempul uh. Mwet orekma ke kain sroasr nukewa elos akola in kasrekom, ac mwet nukewa wi mwet kol lalos elos muta ye sapsap lom.”
The groups of priests and [other] descendants of Levi are ready to begin their work at the temple, and every man who has a special skill will help you in all the work. And my officials and the other people will obey you, whatever you command them to do.”
