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.
David the king said to all the assembly, "Solomon my son, whom alone God has chosen, is yet young and tender, and the work is great; for the palace is not for man, but for YHWH 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 I have prepared with all my might for the house of my God the gold for the things of gold, and the silver for the things of silver, and the bronze for the things of bronze, the iron for the things of iron, and wood for the things of wood; onyx stones, and stones to be set, stones for inlaid work, and of various colors, and all kinds of precious stones, and marble stones in abundance.
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;
In addition, because I have set my affection on the house of my God, since I have a treasure of my own of gold and silver, I give it to the house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared 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 the gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of refined silver, with which to overlay the walls of the houses;
5 n’olw’omulimu ogwa zaabu n’ogwa ffeeza, n’omulimu gwonna ogunaakolebwa abafundi. Kale ani aneewaayo okwewonga leero eri Mukama?”
of gold for the things of gold, and of silver for the things of silver, and for all kinds of work to be made by the hands of artisans. Who then offers willingly to consecrate himself this day to YHWH?"
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 leaders of the ancestral houses, and the leaders of the tribes of Israel, and the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, with the officers over the king's work, offered willingly;
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 service of God's house of gold five thousand talents and ten thousand darics, and of silver ten thousand talents, and of bronze eighteen thousand talents, and of iron a hundred thousand talents.
8 Abo abaalina amayinja ag’omuwendo, baagawaayo eri eggwanika lya yeekaalu ya Mukama, eyakuumibwanga Yekyeri Omugerusoni.
They with whom precious stones were found gave them to the treasure of the house of YHWH, under the hand 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 rejoiced, because they offered willingly, because with a perfect heart they offered willingly to YHWH: and David the king also rejoiced with great 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.
Therefore David blessed YHWH before all the assembly; and David said, "You are blessed, YHWH, the God of Israel our father, forever 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, YHWH, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty. For all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, YHWH, and you are exalted as head above 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.
Both riches and honor come from you, and you rule over all; and in your hand is power and might; and it is in your hand to make great, and to give strength to all.
13 Kale nno, Katonda waffe, tukwebaza era tutendereza erinnya lyo ery’ekitiibwa.
Now therefore, our God, we thank you, and praise your glorious 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 should be able to offer so willingly as this? For all things come from you, and of your own have we given you.
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 are strangers before you, and foreigners, as all our fathers were. Our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is no remaining.
16 Era Ayi Mukama Katonda waffe, ebintu bino byonna bye tuwaddeyo olw’okuzimba eyeekaalu ku lw’erinnya lyo, biva gy’oli, era byonna bibyo.
YHWH our God, all this store that we have prepared to build you a house for your holy name comes from your hand, and is all your own.
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.
I know also, my God, that you try the heart, and have pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of my heart I have willingly offered all these things. Now have I seen with joy your people, that are present here, offer willingly 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.
YHWH, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, our fathers, keep this forever in the imagination of the thoughts of the heart of your people, and prepare their heart for 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 perfect heart, to keep your commandments, your testimonies, and your statutes, and to do all these things, and to build the palace, for which I have made provision."
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.
David said to all the assembly, "Now bless YHWH your God." All the assembly blessed YHWH, the God of their fathers, and bowed down their heads and prostrated themselves before YHWH 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.
They sacrificed sacrifices to YHWH, and offered burnt offerings to YHWH, on the next day after that day, even one thousand bulls, one thousand rams, and one thousand lambs, with their drink offerings, and sacrifices in abundance 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 ate and drink before YHWH on that day with great gladness. They made Solomon the son of David king the second time, and they anointed him to YHWH to be prince, and Zadok to be 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.
Then Solomon sat on the throne of YHWH as king instead of David his father, and prospered; and all Israel obeyed him.
24 Abakungu bonna n’abasajja abazira bonna, ne batabani ba kabaka Dawudi bonna ne bawera eri kabaka Sulemaani.
And all the leaders, the mighty men, and also all of the sons of king David submitted themselves to 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.
YHWH magnified Solomon exceedingly in the sight of all Israel, and bestowed on him such royal majesty as had not been on any king before him in Israel.
26 Dawudi mutabani wa Yese yali kabaka wa Isirayiri yenna.
Now David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel.
27 Yafugira Isirayiri okumala emyaka amakumi ana, nga musanvu yagifugira e Kebbulooni, n’emirala amakumi asatu n’agifugira mu Yerusaalemi.
The time that he reigned over Israel was forty years; he reigned seven years in Hebron, and he reigned 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.
He died in a good old age, full of days, riches, and honor: and Solomon his son reigned 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 the acts of David the king, first and last, look, they are written in the history of Samuel the seer, and in the history of Nathan the prophet, and in the history 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.
with all his reign and his might, and the times that went over him, and over Israel, and over all the kingdoms of the countries.
