1 Nyakati 29
1 Mfalme Daudi akasema kwa kusanyiko lote, “Sulemani mwanangu, ambaye mwenyewe Mungu amemchagu, bado nimdogo na hana uzoefu, na jukumu ni kubwa. Maana hekalu sio kwa ajili ya watu bali la Mungu.
And David the king said to all the congregation, Solomon my son, whom the Lord has chosen, [is] young and tender, and the work [is] great; for [it is] not for man, but for the Lord God.
2 Hivyo nimefanya kwa ubora wangu kutoa kwa ajili ya hekalu la Mungu. Nina toa dhahabu kwa vitu vya kujengwa na dhahabu, fedha kwa vitu vya kujengwa na fedha, shaba kwa vitu vya kujengwa na shaba, nishati kwa vitu vya kujengwa na nishati, na mbao kwa vitu vya kujengwa na mbao. Pia nina toa mawe ya shohamu, mawe ya kupangwa, mawe ya upambaji wandani ya rangi mbali mbali - kila haina ya mawe ya thamani - na marimari kwa wingi.
I have prepared according to all [my] might for the house of my God gold, silver, brass, iron, wood, onyx stones, and costly and variegated stones for setting, and every precious stone, and much Parian [marble].
3 Sasa, kwasababu ya mapenzi yangu kwa nyumba ya Mungu, Ninatoa hazina yangu binafsi ya dhahabu na fedha. Ninafanya hivi kwa nyongeza kwa yote niliyofanya katika hekalu takatifu:
And still farther, because I took pleasure in the house of my God, I have gold and silver which I have procured for myself, and, behold, I have given them to the house of my God over and above, beyond what I have prepared for the holy house.
4 talanta za dhahabu elfu tatu kutoka Ofiri, na talanta elfu saba za fedha zilizotakasika, ili kufunika kuta za majengo.
Three thousand talents of gold of Suphir, and seven thousand talents of fine silver, for the overlaying of the walls of the sanctuary:
5 Ninachangia dhahabu kwa vitu vya kujengwa na dhahabu, na fedha kwa vitu vya kujengwa na fedha, na kazi zote zinazotakiwa kufanywa na wajenzi. Nani mwingine anataka kuchangia kwa Yahweh leo na kujitoa kwake?”
[for you to use] the gold for [things of] gold, and the silver for things of silver, and for every work by the hand of the artificers. And who is willing to dedicate himself in work this day for the Lord?
6 Kisha sadaka za hiari zilitolewa na viongozi wa mababu wa familia zao, viongozi wa makabila ya Israeli, wakuu wa maelfu na mamia, na waamuzi waliojuu ya kazi ya mfalme.
Then the heads of families, and the princes of the children of Israel, and the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, and the overseers of the works, and the king's builders, offered willingly.
7 Walitoa kwa ajili ya huduma ya nyumba ya Mungu talanta elfu tano na darkoni elfu kumi za dhahabu, talanta elfu kumi za fedha, talanta elfu nane za fedha, na talanta za chuma 100, 000.
And they gave for the works of the house of the Lord five thousand talents of gold, and ten thousand gold [pieces], and ten thousand talents of silver, and eighteen thousand talents of brass, and a hundred thousand talents of iron.
8 Haao walio na mawe ya thamani waliyatoa katika Hazina ya nyumba Yahweh, chini ya usimamizi wa Yehieli, mzao wa Gerishoni.
And they who had [precious] stone, gave it into the treasuries of the house of the Lord by the hand of Jeiel the Gedsonite.
9 Watu walifurahi kwa ajili ya hizi sadaka za hiari, kwasababu walitoa kwa moyo wao wote kwa Yahweh. Mfalme Daudi pia alifurahi sana.
And the people rejoiced because of the willingness, for they offered willingly to the Lord with a full heart: and king David rejoiced greatly.
10 Daudi alimbariki Yahweh mbele ya kusanyiko lote. Alisema, “Na uabudiwe, Yahweh, Mungu wa Israeli babu wetu, milele na milele.
And king David blessed the Lord before the congregation, saying, Blessed are you, O Lord God of Israel, our Father, from everlasting and to everlasting.
11 Kwako, Yahweh, kuna ukuu, nguvu, utukufu, ushindi, na enzi. Kwa kuwa yote yalio mbinguni na duniani ni yako. Kwako ni ufalme, Yahweh, na umetukuzwa kama mtawala juu ya vyote.
Your, O Lord, [is] the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the might: for you are Lord of all things that are in heaven and upon the earth: before your face every king and nation is troubled.
12 Utajiri na heshima utoka kwako, unatawala juu ya watu wote. Mkononi mwako kuna nguvu na uwezo. Unao uweza na nguvu ya kuwafanya watu kuwa mkuu na kumpa uweza yeyote.
From you [come] wealth and glory: you, O Lord, rule over all, the Lord of all dominion, and in your hand [is] strength and rule; and [you are] almighty with your hand to increase and establish all things.
13 Kisha sasa, Mungu wetu, tunakushukuru na kusifu jina lako tukufu.
And now, Lord, we give thanks to you, and praise your glorious name.
14 Lakini mimi ni nani, na watu wangu ni nani, tustahili kutoa kwa hiari hivi vitu? Kweli, vitu vyote vya toka kwako, na tumerudisha kwako vilivyo vyako.
But who am I, and what [is] my people, that we have been able to be thus forward [in offering] to you? for all things [are] your, and of your own have we given you,
15 Kwa kuwa sisi ni wageni na wasafiri mbele zako, mababu zetu wote walikuwa. Siku zetu katika dunia ni kama kivuli, na hakuna tumaini la kubaki duniani.
for we are strangers before you, and sojourners, as all our fathers [were]: our days upon the earth [are] as a shadow, and there is no remaining.
16 Yahweh Mungu wetu, utajiri wote tulio kusanya kujenga hekalu kwa kuheshimu jina lako - watoka kwako na ni wako.
O Lord our God, as for all this abundance which I have prepared that a house should be built to your holy name, it is of your hand, and all [is] your.
17 Ninajua, Mungu wangu, unachunguza moyo na wapendezwa na unyofu. Kwangu mimi, kwa unyofu wa moyo wangu nimetoa kwa hiari vitu vyote, na sasa natazama kwa furaha watu walio hapa wakitoa tunu kwako.
And I know, Lord, that you are he that searches the hearts, and you love righteousness. I have willingly offered all these things in simplicity of heart; and now I have seen with joy your people here present, willingly offering to you.
18 yahweh, Mungu wa Ibrahimu, Isaka, na Israeli - mababu zetu - hifadhi hili katika fikra za watu wako. Elekeza mioyo yao kwako.
O Lord God of Abraham, and Isaac, and Israel, our fathers, preserve these things in the thought of the heart of your people for ever, and direct their hearts to you.
19 Mjalie Sulemani mwanangu moyo wa shauku wakutii amri zako, shuhuda za agano lako, na maagizo yako, na kutekeleza mipango hii yote ya kujenga nyumba niliyoiandaa.”
And to Solomon my son give a good heart, to perform your commandments, and [to observe] your testimonies, and your ordinances, and to accomplish the building of your house.
20 Daudi akasema kwa kusanyiko lote, “Sasa mbariki Yahweh Mungu wenu.” Kusanyiko lote likambariki Yahweh, Munug wa mababu zao, wakainamisha vichwa vyao na kumuabudu Yahweh na kusujudu mbele za mfalme.
And David said to the whole congregation, Bless you the Lord our God. And all the congregation blessed the Lord God of their fathers, and they bowed the knee and worshipped the Lord, and [did obeisance] to the king.
21 Kwa siku iliyo fuata, wakatoa dhabiu kwa Yahweh na kumtolea sadaka ya kuteketeza. Walitoa sadaka ya ng'ombe elfu moja, kondoo elfu moja, na wana kondoo elfu moja, pamoja na sadaka zao za vinywaji na dhabihu tele kwa Israeli yote.
And David sacrificed to the Lord, and offered up whole burnt offerings to the Lord on the morrow after the first day, a thousand calves, a thousand rams, a thousand lambs, and their drink-offerings, and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel.
22 Siku ile, walikunywa na kula mbele za Yahweh kwa furaha tele. Walimfanya Sulemani, mwana wa Daudi, mfalme mara ya pili, na kumpaka mafuta ya mamlaka ya Yahweh kuwa mfalme. Pia walimpaka Zadoki mafuta kuwa mfalme.
And they ate and drank joyfully that day before the Lord: and they made Solomon the son of David king a second time, and anointed him king before the Lord, and Sadoc to the priesthood.
23 Kisha Sulemani akaketi kwenye kiti cha enzi cha Yahweh kama mfalme baada ya Daudi baba yake. Alifanikiwa, na Israeli yote ikamtii.
And Solomon sat upon the throne of his father David, and was highly honoured; and all Israel obeyed him.
24 Viongozi wote, wanajeshi, na Mfalme Daudi wanae wakaonyesha utii kwa Mfalme Sulemani.
The princes, and the mighty men, and all the sons of king David his father, were subject to him.
25 Yahweh alimheshimu sana Sulemani na kumkirimia nguvu kubwa kuliko mfalme yeyote aliyetangulia kabla yake Israeli.
And the Lord magnified Solomon over all Israel, and gave him royal glory, such as was not upon any king before him.
26 Daudi mwana wa Yese alitawala Israeli yote.
And David the son of Jessae reigned over Israel forty years;
27 Daudi alikuwa mfalme wa Israeli kwa miaka arobaini. Alitawala kwa miaka saba Hebroni na miaka thelathini na tatu Yerusalemu.
seven years in Chebron, and thirty-three years in Jerusalem.
28 Alikufa katika umri mzuri mkubwa, baada ya kufurahia maisha marefu, utajiri na heshima. Sulemani mwanae alitawala baada yake.
And he died in a good old age, full of days, in wealth, and glory: and Solomon his son reigned in his stead.
29 Mafanikio ya mfalme Daudi yameandikwa katika historia ya Samweli nabii, katika historia ya Nathani nabii, na katika historia ya Gadi nabii.
And the rest of the acts of David, the former and the latter, 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 Yalio ekwa kwenye kumbukumbu ni matendo ya utawala wake, mafanikio yake na mambo yalio mdhuru, Israeli, na falme zote za nchi zingine.
concerning all his reign, and his power, and the times which went over him, and over Israel, and over all the kingdoms of the earth.
