1 Seenaa 22

1 Ergasii Daawit, “Kun mana Waaqayyo Waaqaa ti; kun immoo iddoo aarsaa, aarsaan gubamu Israaʼeliif itti dhiʼeeffamuu dha” jedhe.

Then David said, “Here shall be the house of the LORD God, as well as the altar of burnt offering for Israel.”

2 Kanaafuu Daawit akka alagoonni Israaʼel keessa jiraatan walitti qabaman ajaje; isaan keessaas akka isaan ijaarsa mana qulqullummaa Waaqaatiif dhagaa soofame qopheessaniif warra dhagaa cabsan ni filate.

So David gave orders to gather the foreigners in the land of Israel, from whom he appointed stonecutters to prepare finished stones for building the house of God.

3 Inni mismaara ittiin hundaa balbalaa hojjetanii fi miʼa ittiin walitti qabsiisan hojjechuudhaaf sibiila akka malee baayʼee fi naasii madaalliin isaa hamma hin qabne ni kenne.

David provided a large quantity of iron to make the nails for the doors of the gateways and for the fittings, together with more bronze than could be weighed

4 Daawitis sababii warri Siidoonaatii fi warri Xiiroos birbirsa akka malee baayʼee isaaf fidaniif birbirsa baayʼinni isaa lakkaaʼamuu hin dandeenye ni kenne.

and more cedar logs than could be counted; for the Sidonians and Tyrians had brought a large quantity of cedar logs to David.

5 Daawit akkana jedhe; “Ilmi koo Solomoon ijoollee dha; muuxannoo illee hin qabu. Manni Waaqayyoof ijaaramu kun immoo ulfina qabeessa, kan gurra qabuu fi kan fuula saboota hundaa duratti akka malee miidhagu taʼuu qaba. Kanaafuu ani isaaf qophii nan godha.” Akkasiin Daawit utuu hin duʼin qophii guddaa godhe.

And David said, “My son Solomon is young and inexperienced, and the house to be built for the LORD must be exceedingly magnificent—famous and glorious throughout all lands. Therefore I must make preparations for it.” So David made lavish preparations before his death.

6 Ergasii Daawit ilma isaa Solomoonin waamee akka inni Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼeliif mana ijaaru isa ajaje.

Then David called for his son Solomon and instructed him to build a house for the LORD, the God of Israel.

7 Daawitis Solomooniin akkana jedhe: “Yaa ilma ko, ani Maqaa Waaqayyo Waaqa kootiif mana ijaaruu yaadee ture.

“My son,” said David to Solomon, “it was in my heart to build a house for the Name of the LORD my God,

8 Garuu dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe: ‘Ati dhiiga baayʼee dhangalaafteerta; lola hedduus lolteerta. Ati sababii fuula koo duratti dhiiga baayʼee lafa irratti dhangalaafteef Maqaa kootiif mana hin ijaartu.

but this word of the LORD came to me: ‘You have shed much blood and waged great wars. You are not to build a house for My Name because you have shed so much blood on the ground before Me.

9 Kunoo ilmi tokko siif ni dhalata; innis nama boqonnaa ni taʼa; anis diinota isaa kanneen naannoo isaa jiran hunda irraa boqonnaa nan kennaaf. Maqaan isaas Solomoon jedhama; ani bara mootummaa isaa keessa Israaʼeliif nagaa fi tasgabbii nan kenna.

But a son will be born to you who will be a man of rest. I will give him rest from all his enemies on every side; for his name will be Solomon, and I will grant to Israel peace and quiet during his reign.

10 Namni Maqaa kootiif mana ijaaru isa. Inni ilma naaf taʼa; anis abbaa nan taʼaaf. Teessoo mootummaa isaas Israaʼel irratti bara baraan jabeessee nan dhaaba.’

He is the one who will build a house for My Name. He will be My son, and I will be his Father. And I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever.’

11 “Egaa yaa ilma ko, akkuma inni waaʼee kee dubbate sanatti akka mana Waaqayyo Waaqa keetii ijaaruun siif milkaaʼuuf Waaqayyo si wajjin haa taʼu.

Now, my son, may the LORD be with you, and may you succeed in building the house of the LORD your God, as He said you would.

12 Akka ati yommuu inni Israaʼel irratti aangoo siif kennutti seera Waaqayyo Waaqa keetii eegduuf Waaqayyo ogummaa fi hubannaa siif haa kennu.

Above all, may the LORD give you insight and understanding when He puts you in command over Israel, so that you may keep the Law of the LORD your God.

13 Akkasiin ati yoo ajajaa fi seera Waaqayyo karaa Museetiin Israaʼeliif kenne sana akka gaariitti eegde ni milkoofta. Jabaadhu; onnoomis. Hin sodaatin yookaan abdii hin kutatin.

Then you will succeed, if you carefully follow the statutes and ordinances that the LORD commanded Moses for Israel. Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged.

14 “Kunoo, ani ijaarsa mana Waaqayyootiif warqee taalaantii kuma dhibba tokko, meetii taalaantii miliyoona tokko, naasii fi sibiila akka malee baayʼee kan madaalamuu hin dandeenye, mukaa fi dhagaa illee qopheessuu irratti akka malee dadhabeera. Atis itti dabaluu ni dandeessa.

Now behold, I have taken great pains to provide for the house of the LORD—100,000 talents of gold, 1,000,000 talents of silver, and bronze and iron too great to be weighed. I have also provided timber and stone, and you may add to them.

15 Ati hojjettoota hedduu qabda; isaanis: warra dhagaa cabsan, warra mana dhagaa ijaaranii fi warra ogummaa hojii mukaa qaban, akkasumas namoota ogummaa hojii gosa gosaa,

You also have many workers: stonecutters, masons, carpenters, and men skilled in every kind of work—

16 kan hojii warqeetii fi meetii, kan naasiitii fi sibiilaa, ogeeyyii hojii harkaa warra lakkoobsi isaanii hin beekamne qabda. Egaa amma hojii jalqabi; Waaqayyos si wajjin haa taʼu.”

in gold and silver, bronze and iron—craftsmen beyond number. Now begin the work, and may the LORD be with you.”

17 Ergasii Daawit akka isaan ilma isaa Solomoon gargaaraniif dura buutota Israaʼel hunda ni ajaje.

Then David ordered all the leaders of Israel to help his son Solomon:

18 Akkanas isaaniin jedhe; “Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan isin wajjin jira mitii? Inni gama hundaan boqonnaa isiniif kenneera mitii? Inni jiraattota biyya kanaa dabarsee natti kenneeraatii; biyyattiinis Waaqayyoo fi saba isaatiif garboomteerti.

“Is not the LORD your God with you, and has He not granted you rest on every side? For He has given the inhabitants of the land into my hand, and the land has been subdued before the LORD and His people.

19 Amma Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan barbaaduuf garaa fi lubbuu keessan guutuudhaan kutadhaa kaʼaa. Akka taabota kakuu Waaqayyootii fi miʼoota qulqulluu kan Waaqaa fiddanii mana qulqullummaa kan Maqaa Waaqayyootiif ijaaramuuf jiru sanatti galchitaniif mana Waaqayyo Gooftaa ijaaruu jalqabaa.”

Now set your heart and soul to seek the LORD your God. Get started building the sanctuary of the LORD God, so that you may bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD and the holy articles of God into the temple that will be built for the Name of the LORD.”
