1 Seenaa 28
1 Daawit akka isaan Yerusaalemitti walitti qabamaniif hangafoota Israaʼel hunda ni waame; isaanis: Geggeessitoota gosootaa, tajaajila mootummaa keessatti ajajjoota kutaawwan loltootaa, ajajjoota kumaatii fi ajajjoota dhibbaa, warra qabeenyaa fi horii mootichaatii fi kan ilmaan isaa irratti itti gaafatamtoota taʼan, qondaaltota masaraa mootummaa, namoota jajjaboo fi gootota waraanaa hunda.
David summoned to Jerusalem all the leaders of Israel—the leaders of the tribes, the army division commanders in service to the king, the commanders of thousands and the commanders of hundreds, and the officials in charge of all the property and livestock of the king and his sons, along with the court officials, the warriors and all the best fighting men.
2 Ergasii Daawit Mootichi kaʼee dhaabatee akkana jedhe: “Yaa obboloota koo fi yaa saba ko, mee na dhagaʼaa. Ani taabota kakuu Waaqayyootiif iddoo inni boqotu, Waaqa keenyaaf immoo iddoo inni miilla dhaabatu ijaaruu yaadee qophaaʼeera.
King David got to his feet and said, “Listen to me, my brothers and my people! I really wanted to build a house as a resting place for the Ark of the Lord's Agreement, as a footstool for our God. So I made plans to build it.
3 Waaqni garuu, ‘Ati sababii lola hedduu loltee dhiiga baayʼee dhangalaafteef maqaa kootiif mana hin ijaartu’ naan jedhe.
But God told me, ‘You are not to build a house to honor me because you are a man of war who has spilled blood.’
4 “Taʼus Waaqayyo, Waaqni Israaʼel akka ani bara baraan Israaʼel irratti mootii taʼuuf mana abbaa koo keessaa na filate. Akka inni dura buʼaa taʼuufis Yihuudaa filate; mana Yihuudaa keessaa maatii koo filate; ilmaan abbaa kootii keessaa immoo akka ani guutummaa Israaʼel irratti mootii taʼu jaallate.
However, the Lord, the God of Israel, chose me out of all my father's family to be king of Israel forever. For he chose Judah as the leading tribe, and from among the families of Judah he chose my father's family. From among my father's sons he was pleased to chose me as king over the whole of Israel.
5 Waaqayyo ilmaan baayʼee naa kenneera; ilmaan koo hunda keessaa immoo akka inni teessoo mootummaa Waaqayyoo irra taaʼee saba Israaʼel bulchuuf ilma koo Solomoonin filate.
From all my sons (for the Lord gave me many) the Lord has chosen Solomon my child to sit on the throne and to rule over the Lord's kingdom Israel.
6 Akkanas naan jedhe; ‘Kan mana koo fi oobdiiwwan koo naaf ijaaru ilma kee Solomoonii dha; ani akka inni ilma naa taʼuuf isa filadheeraatii; anis abbaa isaa nan taʼa.
He told me, ‘Your son Solomon is the one who will build my house and my courts, because I have chosen him as my son, and I will be his father.
7 Yoo inni akkuma ammaa kanatti ittuma fufee ajaja koo fi seera koo eege ani bara baraan mootummaa isaa jabeessee nan dhaaba.’
I will make sure his kingdom lasts forever if he single-mindedly keeps my commandments and regulations like he does today.
8 “Kanaafuu akka isin lafa gaarii kana dhaaltanii ilmaan keessaniif dhaala bara baraa dabarsitaniif, akka isin ajaja Waaqayyo Waaqa keessanii hunda eegdanii fi isa duukaa buutaniif ani amma fuula Israaʼeloota hundaa duratti, waldaa Waaqayyoo duratti, akkasumas utuu Waaqni keenya dhagaʼuu isinin ajaja.
So now, in the sight of all Israel, the assembly of the Lord, and as God listens, be sure to obey all the commandments of the Lord your God so that you may go on possessing this good land and be able to pass it on as an inheritance to your descendants forever.
9 “Yaa ilma koo Solomoon atis Waaqayyo Waaqa abbaa keetii beekii garaa tokkoo fi qalbii fedhii qabuun isa tajaajili; Waaqayyo waan garaa namaa keessa jiru hunda qoree karooraa fi yaada hunda hubataatii. Yoo ati isa barbaadde inni siif argama; yoo ati isa dhiifte garuu inni bara baraan si dhiisa.
Solomon my son, get to know the God of your father. Serve him with complete dedication and with a willing mind, for the Lord examines every motivation and understands the intention of every thought. If you look for him, you will find him; but it you abandon him, he will reject you forever.
10 Amma qalbeeffadhu; Waaqayyo akka ati mana iddoo qulqulluu taʼu tokko ijaartuuf si filateeraatii. Jajjabaadhuu hojjedhu.”
Pay attention now, for the Lord has chosen you to build a house for the sanctuary. Be strong, and take action!”
11 Ergasii Daawit karoora gardaafoo mana qulqullummaa, kan ijaarsa isaa, kutaawwan miʼi keessa kaaʼamu, kan kutaawwan ol aananiitii fi kutaawwan keessaa, akkasumas karoora iddoo teessoo araaraa ilma isaa Solomoonitti kenne.
Then David gave his son Solomon the plans for the Temple porch, its buildings, storehouses, upper rooms, inner rooms, and the room for the “place of atonement.”
12 Akkasumas karoora waan Hafuurri qulqulluun isa yaachisee kan oobdii mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo, kan kutaawwan naannoo isaa jiranii, kutaawwan mana miʼa mana qulqullummaa Waaqaatii fi kan mankuusaa miʼoota Waaqaatiif addaan baafamanii hunda itti kenne.
He also gave him everything he had planned for the courts of the house of the Lord, for all the surrounding rooms, for the treasuries of the house of God and of those things that had been dedicated.
13 Karoora ramaddii hojii lubootaatii fi Lewwotaa, tajaajila mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessatti kennamuu maluu hunda, miʼoota mana qulqullummaa keessatti tajaajilaaf oolan irrattis qajeelfama ni kenneef.
In addition he passed on instructions regarding the divisions of the priests and the Levites, for all the work of service of the house of the Lord, and for all that was used for worship in the house of the Lord.
14 Ulfina warqee miʼoota warqee irraa hojjetamanii tajaajila garaa garaatiif oolan hundaatii fi ulfina meetii miʼoota meetii irraa hojjetamanii tajaajila garaa garaatiif oolan hundaas isa beeksise:
He also laid down how much gold and silver was to be used in making the different objects used in every kind of service,
15 Kunis ulfina baattuuwwan ibsaa kanneen warqee irraa hojjetamaniitii fi ibsaawwan isaanii, ulfina warqee tokkoo tokkoo baattuu ibsaatii fi ibsaa isaanii wajjin, akkasumas akkuma hojii tokkoo tokkoo baattuu ibsaa sanaatti ulfina meetii tokkoo tokkoo baattuu ibsaatii fi ibsaawwan isaa,
the weight of the gold and silver lampstands and their lamps, depending on the use of each lampstand;
16 ulfina warqee tokkoo tokkoo minjaala buddeenni qulqulluun irra kaaʼamuu, ulfina meetii minjaalli irraa hojjetame,
the weight of gold for each table of showbread, and the weight of silver for the silver tables,
17 ulfina warqee qulqulluu falʼaana, waciitii fi kubbaayyaa, ulfina warqee tokkoo tokkoo caabii warqee irraa hojjetame; ulfina meetii tokkoo tokkoo caabii meetii irraa hojjetame;
the weight of pure gold for the forks, basins, and cups; the weight of each gold dish; the weight of each silver bowl;
18 akkasumas ulfina warqee qulqulleeffame kan iddoo aarsaa ixaanaatiif qopheeffame. Karoora gaarii jechuunis kiirubeelii warqee irraa hojjetaman kanneen qoochoo isaanii babalʼisanii taabota kakuu Waaqayyoo haguugan itti kenne.
the weight of the refined gold for the altar of incense; and lastly plans for a golden chariot of cherubim that spread their wings, covering the Ark of the Lord's Agreement.
19 Daawitis, “Ani waan kana hunda harka Waaqayyoo kan narra jiru sanaan barreeffamaan argadhe; innis karoora hojii kanaa hunda irratti hubannaa naaf kenne” jedhe.
“All this is in writing from the hand of the Lord, given to me as instructions—every detail of this plan,” said David.
20 Daawit ilma isaa Solomooniin akkana jedhe; “Cimi; jajjabaadhus; hojii sanas hojjedhu. Hin sodaatin; abdiis hin kutatin; Waaqayyo Gooftaan Waaqni koo si wajjin jiraatii. Inni hamma hojiin tajaajila mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo dhumutti si hin dhiisu yookaan si hin gatu.
Then David also told Solomon, “Be strong, be brave, and take action! Don't be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord God, my God, is with you! He will not let you down or leave you. He will make sure all the work for the service of the house of the Lord is finished.
21 Gareen lubootaatii fi Lewwotaa ijaarsa mana qulqullummaa Waaqaatiif qophaaʼoo dha. Namni fedhii qabu kan ogummaa hojii gosa kamii iyyuu qabu hundii hojii hunda si gargaara. Qondaaltonnii fi namoonni hundii ajaja kee hunda ni fudhatu.”
The divisions of the priests and the Levites are prepared for all the service of the house of God. People will be willing to use their different skills to help you in all the work—the officials and all the people will do what you tell them.”
