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, This is the house of the Lord God, and this is the altar for Israel's burned offerings.

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.

And David gave orders to get together all the men from strange lands who were in the land of Israel; and he put stone-cutters to work, cutting 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.

And he got together a great store of iron, for the nails for the doors and for the joins; and brass, more in weight than might be measured;

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

And cedar-trees without number, for the Zidonians and the men of Tyre came with a great amount of cedar-trees for 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, Solomon my son is young and untested, and the house which is to be put up for the Lord is to be very great, a thing of wonder and glory through all countries; so I will make ready what is needed for it. So David got ready a great store of material before his death.

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

Then he sent for his son Solomon, and gave him orders for the building of 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.

And David said to Solomon, My son, it was my desire to put up 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 the word of the Lord came to me saying, You have taken lives without number and made great wars; I will not let you be the builder of a house for my name, because of the lives you have taken on the earth before my eyes.

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 you will have a son who will be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from wars on every side. His name will be Solomon, and in his time I will give Israel peace and quiet;

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 will be the builder of a house for my name; he will be to me a son, and I will be to him a father; and I will make the seat of his rule over Israel certain for ever.

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 do well, and put up the house of the Lord your God, as he has said of you.

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

Only may the Lord give you wisdom, and knowledge of his orders for 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.

And all will go well for you, if you take care to keep the laws and the rules which the Lord gave to Moses for Israel: be strong and take heart; have no fear and do not be troubled.

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 see, poor though I am, I have got ready for the house of the Lord a hundred thousand talents of gold and a million talents of silver; and a weight of brass and iron greater than may be measured; and wood and stone have I made ready, and you may put more to it.

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,

And you have a great number of workmen, cutters and workers of stone and wood, and experts in every sort 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 and brass and iron more than may be numbered. Up! then, and to 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 gave orders to all the chiefs of Israel to give their help to Solomon his son, saying,

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 given you rest on every side? for the Lord has given the people of the land into my hands, and the land is overcome before the Lord and before 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 give your heart and soul to the worship of the Lord your God; and get to work on the building of the holy place of the Lord God, so that you may put the ark of the Lord's agreement and the holy vessels of God in the house which is to be made for the name of the Lord.
