1 Ebyomumirembe 29
1 Awo Kabaka Dawudi n’ayogera eri ekibiina kyonna ekyali kikuŋŋaanye nti, “Sulemaani mutabani wange, Katonda gw’alonze, mwana muto atalina bumanyirivu, ate nga omulimu munene. Ekizimbe kino si kya ku lwa muntu wabula kya ku lwa Mukama Katonda.
And David the king said to all the people, Solomon my son, the only one who has been marked out by God, is still young and untested, and the work is great, for this great house is not for man, but for the Lord God.
2 Ntegese olwa yeekaalu ya Katonda wange, zaabu olw’omulimu gwa zaabu, ne ffeeza olw’omulimu gwa ffeeza, n’ebikomo olw’omulimu ogw’ebikomo, n’ebyuma olw’omulimu ogw’ebyuma, n’embaawo olw’omulimu ogw’embaawo, amayinja aga onuku mangi n’amayinja ag’okutona, amayinja ag’omulimu ogw’enjola n’ag’amabala mangi, n’amayinja ag’omuwendo omungi ag’engeri zonna, n’amayinja amanyirivu mangi nnyo.
Now as far as I am able, I have made ready what is needed for the house of my God; the gold for the things of gold, and the silver for the silver things, and the brass for the brass things, iron for the things of iron, and wood for the things of wood; beryls and jewels to be framed, and stones of different colours for ornament; all sorts of stones of great price, and polished building-stone, as much as is needed and more.
3 Okwongera kw’ebyo byonna, n’okwewaayo kwange olwa yeekaalu ya Katonda wange, mpaddeyo amawanika gange aga zaabu ne ffeeza ku lwa yeekaalu ya Katonda wange;
And because this house of God is dear to me, I give my private store of gold and silver to the house of my God, in addition to all I have got ready for the holy house;
4 ttani kikumi mu kkumi eza zaabu eya Ofiri, ne ttani bibiri mu nkaaga eza ffeeza omulongoosemu okugibissa ku bisenge by’ekizimbe,
Even three thousand talents of gold of Ophir and seven thousand talents of the best silver, for plating the walls of the house:
5 n’olw’omulimu ogwa zaabu n’ogwa ffeeza, n’omulimu gwonna ogunaakolebwa abafundi. Kale ani aneewaayo okwewonga leero eri Mukama?”
Gold for the gold things, and silver for the silver things, and for every sort of work to be done by the expert workmen. Who then will come forward, offering himself this day for the Lord's work?
6 Awo emitwe gy’ennyumba, n’abataka b’ebika bya Isirayiri, n’abaduumizi ab’olukumi n’ab’ekikumi, n’abakungu abaavunaanyizibwanga emirimu gya kabaka, ne beewaayo awatali kuwalirizibwa.
Then the heads of families and the chiefs of the tribes of Israel, and the captains of thousands and of hundreds, with the controllers of the king's business, freely gave themselves;
7 Ne bawaayo zaabu ttani kikumi mu kyenda ne kilo kinaana mu nnya, ne ffeeza ttani bisatu mu nsanvu mu ttaano, n’ebikomo ttani lukaaga mu nsanvu mu ttaano, n’ebyuma ttani enkumi ssatu mu lusanvu mu ataano, olw’omulimu gwa yeekaalu ya Katonda.
And they gave for the use of the house of the Lord, five thousand talents and ten thousand darics of gold, and ten thousand talents of silver, and eighteen thousand talents of brass, and a hundred thousand talents of iron.
8 Abo abaalina amayinja ag’omuwendo, baagawaayo eri eggwanika lya yeekaalu ya Mukama, eyakuumibwanga Yekyeri Omugerusoni.
And those who had stones of great price gave them to the store of the house of the Lord, under the care of Jehiel the Gershonite.
9 Abantu ne basanyukira nnyo okwewaayo abakulembeze baabwe kwe beewaayo, kubanga baawaayo n’omutima ogutuukiridde eri Mukama. Ne kabaka Dawudi n’asanyuka nnyo nnyini.
Then the people were glad because their offerings were freely given, for with a true heart they freely gave what they had to the Lord; and David the king was full of joy.
10 Awo Dawudi n’atendereza Mukama mu lujjudde lw’abantu bonna, n’ayogera nti, “Weebazibwe, Ayi Mukama Katonda, Katonda wa jjajjaffe Isirayiri, emirembe n’emirembe.
So David gave praise to the Lord before all the people; and David said, Praise be to you, O Lord the God of Israel, our father for ever and ever.
11 Obukulu, n’amaanyi, n’ekitiibwa, n’obuwanguzi, n’okugulumizibwa bibyo, Ayi Mukama Katonda, kubanga byonna ebiri mu ggulu ne mu nsi bibyo. Obwakabaka bubwo, Ayi Mukama Katonda, era ogulumizibwa okuba omukulu wa byonna.
Yours, O Lord, is the strength and the power and the glory, and the authority and the honour: for everything in heaven and on earth is yours; yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and you are lifted up as head over all.
12 Obugagga n’ekitiibwa biva gy’oli, era ggwe ofuga ebintu byonna; omukono gwo gwa maanyi era gwa buyinza era gugulumiza ne guwa amaanyi bonna.
Wealth and honour come from you, and you are ruler over all, and in your hand is power and strength; it is in your power to make great, and to give strength to all.
13 Kale nno, Katonda waffe, tukwebaza era tutendereza erinnya lyo ery’ekitiibwa.
So now, our God, we give you praise, honouring the glory of your name.
14 “Naye nze ani n’abantu bange kye ki, ffe okusobola okuwaayo bwe tutyo nga ffe tweyagalidde? Byonna biva gy’oli, era tukuwadde ku bibyo.
But who am I and what is my people, that we have power to give so freely in this way? for all things come from you, and what we have given you is yours.
15 Ffe tuli bagenyi era abatambuze mu maaso go, nga bajjajjaffe bonna bwe baali, n’ennaku zaffe ez’oku nsi ziri ng’ekisiikirize, awatali ssuubi.
For we, as all our fathers were, are like men from a strange country before you, who have got a place for a time in the land; our days on the earth are like a shade, and there is no hope of going on.
16 Era Ayi Mukama Katonda waffe, ebintu bino byonna bye tuwaddeyo olw’okuzimba eyeekaalu ku lw’erinnya lyo, biva gy’oli, era byonna bibyo.
O Lord our God, all this store, which we have made ready for the building of a house for your holy name, comes from your hand and is yours.
17 Katonda wange, mmanyi nti okebera emitima, era osanyukira obwesimbu, n’ebintu bino byonna mbiwaddeyo awatali kuwalirizibwa, era n’omutima omwesimbu. Era kaakano ndabye abantu bo nga bakuwa n’essanyu n’omwoyo gumu.
And I am conscious, my God, that you are the searcher of hearts, taking pleasure in righteousness. As for me, with an upright heart I have freely given all these things; and I have seen with joy your people who are here to make their offerings freely to you.
18 Ayi Mukama, Katonda wa bajjajjaffe Ibulayimu, Isaaka, ne Isirayiri, okuume omuliro ogwo mu mitima gy’abantu bo emirembe gyonna, era emitima gyabwe ginywerere ku gwe.
O Lord, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, our fathers, keep this for ever in the deepest thoughts of your people, and let their hearts be fixed and true to you;
19 Owe Sulemaani mutabani wange omutima ogumaliridde okukumanga ebiragiro byo, empya zo, n’amateeka go, era omuwe amaanyi okuzimba ekizimbe kye ntegese.”
And give to Solomon my son a true heart, to keep your orders, your rules, and your laws, and to do all these things, and to put up this great house for which I have made ready.
20 Awo Dawudi n’agamba ekibiina kyonna nti, “Mukama Katonda wammwe atenderezebwe.” Ekibiina kyonna ne kitendereza Mukama, Katonda wa bajjajjaabwe nga bakutamye emitwe gyabwe, nga bwe bagwa ne ku ttaka mu maaso ga Mukama ne kabaka.
And David said to all the people, Now give praise to the Lord your God. And all the people gave praise to the Lord, the God of their fathers, with bent heads worshipping the Lord and the king.
21 Ku lunaku olwaddirira ne bawaayo ssaddaaka n’ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa eri Mukama, ng’omwo mwe muli seddume lukumi, n’endiga ennume lukumi, n’obwana bw’endiga obulume lukumi, era n’ebiweebwayo eby’okunywa ne ssaddaaka endala ku lwa Isirayiri yenna.
And they made offerings to the Lord, and gave burned offerings to the Lord, on the day after, a thousand oxen, a thousand sheep, and a thousand lambs, with their drink offerings, and a great wealth of offerings for all Israel.
22 Ne baliira era ne banywera mu maaso ga Mukama nga bajjudde essanyu lingi ku lunaku olwo. Awo Sulemaani mutabani wa Dawudi n’akakasibwa nga kabaka omulundi ogwokubiri, era n’afukibwako amafuta mu maaso ga Mukama okuba omukulembeze ne Zadooki okuba kabona.
And with great joy they made a feast before the Lord that day. And they made Solomon, the son of David, king a second time, putting the holy oil on him to make him holy to the Lord as ruler, and on Zadok as priest.
23 Awo Sulemaani n’atuula ku ntebe ey’obwakabaka eya Mukama nga ye kabaka mu kifo kya Dawudi kitaawe, era n’alaba omukisa ne Isirayiri yenna ne mugondera.
So Solomon was put on the seat of the Lord as king in place of his father David, and everything went well for him; and all Israel was under his authority.
24 Abakungu bonna n’abasajja abazira bonna, ne batabani ba kabaka Dawudi bonna ne bawera eri kabaka Sulemaani.
And all the chiefs and the men of war and all the sons of King David put themselves under the authority of Solomon the king.
25 Mukama n’agulumiza nnyo Sulemaani mu maaso ga Isirayiri yenna, era n’aweebwa ekitiibwa eky’obwakabaka ekyali kitaweebwanga kabaka mulala yenna mu Isirayiri.
And the Lord made Solomon great in the eyes of all Israel, clothing him with glory and honour such as no other king in Israel had had before him.
26 Dawudi mutabani wa Yese yali kabaka wa Isirayiri yenna.
Now David, the son of Jesse, was king over all Israel.
27 Yafugira Isirayiri okumala emyaka amakumi ana, nga musanvu yagifugira e Kebbulooni, n’emirala amakumi asatu n’agifugira mu Yerusaalemi.
For forty years he was ruling as king over Israel, seven years in Hebron and thirty-three years in Jerusalem.
28 N’afa ng’akaddiye nnyo, ng’ajjudde essanyu olw’emyaka gye yamala ku nsi, mu bugagga ne mu kitiibwa, era Sulemaani mutabani we n’amusikira.
And he came to his end after a long life, full of days and great wealth and honour; and Solomon his son became king in his place.
29 Era ebyafaayo ebyomumirembe gya kabaka Dawudi okuviira ddala ku ntandikwa okutuukira ddala ku nkomerero, byawandiikibwa mu bitabo ebyomumirembe bya nnabbi Samwiri ne mu bitabo ebyomumirembe ebya Gaadi omulabirizi,
Now all the acts of David, first and last, are recorded in the words of Samuel the seer, and the words of Nathan the prophet, and the words of Gad the seer;
30 era n’eby’okufuga kwe, n’obuyinza bwe, n’ebyo byonna ebyamutuukako, ne ku Isirayiri, ne ku bwakabaka obulala obwali bumwetoolodde, byonna byawandiikibwa omwo.
Together with all his rule and his power, and the events which took place in his time, in Israel and in all the kingdoms of other lands.
