1 Mga Cronica 22
1 Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni David, Ito ang bahay ng Panginoong Dios, at ito ang dambana ng handog na susunugin para sa Israel.
Then David said, “Here, [at the edge of Jerusalem, ] is where [we will build] the temple for our God Yahweh, and where [we will make] the altar for burning the offerings that the Israeli [people will bring].”
2 At iniutos ni David na pisanin ang mga taga ibang bayan na nasa lupain ng Israel; at siya'y naglagay ng mga kantero upang magsitabas ng mga yaring bato, upang itayo ang bahay ng Dios.
So David commanded that the foreigners who lived in Israel must gather together. [When they did that, ] he appointed [some of those] men to [cut huge] stones [from the quarries] and to smooth their surfaces, to be used to build the temple of God.
3 At si David ay naghanda ng bakal na sagana na mga pinaka pako sa mga pinto ng mga pintuang-daan, at sa mga sugpong; at tanso na sagana na walang timbang;
David provided a large amount of iron for making nails and hinges for the doors in the gates of the temple. He also provided so much bronze [for making the altar and various utensils], that no one could weigh it all.
4 At mga puno ng sedro na walang bilang; sapagka't ang mga Sidonio at ang mga taga Tiro ay nangagdala kay David ng mga puno ng sedro na sagana.
He also provided [money for buying] a large amount of cedar logs. Because there was a huge number of them, no one was able to count them. Those were logs that men from Tyre and Sidon [cities] sent to David.
5 At sinabi ni David, Si Salomong aking anak ay bata at mura, at ang bahay na matatayo na laan sa Panginoon ay marapat na totoong mainam, na bantog at maluwalhati sa lahat na lupain: akin ngang ipaghahanda. Sa gayo'y naghanda si David ng sagana bago sumapit ang kaniyang kamatayan.
David [provided all those things because he] thought, “My son Solomon is still young and he does not know what he needs to know [about building], and the temple of Yahweh must be (magnificent/very beautiful). It must be a glorious building that will become famous, and people throughout the world must consider it to be glorious/splendid. So now I will begin to prepare for it to be built, [and Solomon will be responsible for building it].” So David collected a great amount of building materials before he died.
6 Nang magkagayo'y ipinatawag niya si Salomon na kaniyang anak, at binilinan niyang magtayo ng isang bahay na laan sa Panginoon, sa Dios ng Israel.
[When] David [was old, he] summoned his son Solomon, and told him that he should arrange for a temple to be built for Yahweh, the God whom the Israelis [worshiped].
7 At sinabi ni David kay Salomon na kaniyang anak, Tungkol sa akin, na sa aking kalooban ang magtayo ng isang bahay sa pangalan ng Panginoon kong Dios.
He said to him, “I wanted [IDM] to build a temple to honor [MTY] Yahweh, my God.
8 Nguni't ang salita ng Panginoon ay dumating sa akin, na nagsasabi, Ikaw ay nagbubo ng dugo na sagana, at gumawa ng malaking pagdidigma: huwag mong ipagtatayo ng bahay ang aking pangalan, sapagka't ikaw ay nagbubo ng maraming dugo sa lupa sa aking paningin:
But Yahweh told [a prophet to tell] me, ‘You have killed many men [MTY] in the battles that you have fought. I have seen the blood of all the people whom you killed, so you will not be the one who will arrange for a temple to be built to honor me [MTY].
9 Narito, isang lalake ay ipanganganak sa iyo, na siyang magiging lalaking mapayapa; at bibigyan ko siya ng kapahingahan sa lahat ng kaniyang mga kaaway sa palibot: sapagka't ang kaniyang magiging pangalan ay Salomon, at bibigyan ko ng kapayapaan at katahimikan ang Israel sa kaniyang mga kaarawan:
But you will have a son [who will be king of Israel after you die]. He will be a man who is peaceful and quiet, [not a man who kills others]. And I will cause that there will be peace between him and his enemies who are in all the nearby lands. His name will be Solomon, [which sounds like the word for peace]. During the time that he is king, people in Israel will be peaceful and safe.
10 Kaniyang ipagtatayo ng bahay ang aking pangalan; at siya'y magiging aking anak, at ako'y magiging kaniyang ama; at aking itatatag ang luklukan ng kaniyang kaharian sa Israel magpakailan man.
He is the one who will arrange for a temple to be built to honor me [MTY]. He will be [like] a son to me, and I will cause some of his descendants to rule [MTY] over Israel forever [HYP].’
11 Ngayon, anak ko, ang Panginoon ay sumaiyo; at guminhawa ka, at iyong itayo ang bahay ng Panginoon mong Dios, gaya ng kaniyang sinalita tungkol sa iyo.
“So now, my son, I hope/wish that Yahweh will help you, and enable you to be successful in arranging for building the temple of Yahweh, your God, which is what he said that you would do.
12 Pagkalooban ka lamang ng Panginoon ng pagmumunimuni, at pagkakilala, at bigyan ka niya ng bilin tungkol sa Israel; na anopa't iyong maingatan ang kautusan ng Panginoon mong Dios.
I also hope/wish that he will enable you to be wise and to understand what you need to know, and enable you to obey his laws while you rule over Israel.
13 Kung magkagayo'y giginhawa ka, kung isasagawa mo ang mga palatuntunan at ang mga kahatulan na ibinilin ng Panginoon kay Moises tungkol sa Israel: ikaw ay magpakalakas at magpakatapang; huwag kang matakot o manglupaypay man.
If you carefully obey all the laws and regulations/commands that Yahweh gave to Moses to give to us Israeli people, you will be successful. So be steadfast/strong and courageous. Do not be afraid of anything, and do not become discouraged!
14 Ngayon, narito, sa aking karalitaan ay ipinaghanda ko ang bahay ng Panginoon ng isang daang libong talentong ginto, at isang libong libong talentong pilak; at ng tanso at bakal na walang timbang; dahil sa kasaganaan: gayon din ng kahoy at bato ay naghanda ako; at iyong madadagdagan.
“I have tried hard to provide [materials] for [building] the temple of Yahweh. I have provided nearly 4,000 tons of gold, and nearly 40,000 tons of silver. I have also provided a very large amount of iron and bronze; no one has been able to weigh it all. I have also gathered/provided lumber and stone [for the walls of the temple], but you may need to get some more of those things.
15 Bukod dito'y may kasama kang mga manggagawa na sagana, mga mananabas ng bato at manggagawa sa bato at sa kahoy, at lahat ng mga tao na bihasa sa anoman gawain;
There are many men [in Israel] who have good ability to cut big stones for making stone walls, and carpenters, and men who are very skilled at making various kinds of things.
16 Sa ginto, sa pilak, at sa tanso, at sa bakal, walang bilang. Ikaw ay bumangon at iyong gawin, at ang Panginoon ay sumaiyo.
There are many men who know how to make things from gold and silver and bronze and iron. So now [I say to you], begin the work [of building the temple], and I hope/wish that Yahweh will help/be with you.”
17 Iniutos naman ni David sa lahat na prinsipe ng Israel na tulungan si Salomon na kaniyang anak, na sinasabi,
Then David commanded that all the Israeli leaders must assist Solomon. He said to them,
18 Hindi ba ang Panginoon ninyong Dios ay sumasainyo? at hindi ba binigyan niya kayo ng kapahingahan sa lahat na dako? sapagka't kaniyang ibinigay ang mga nananahan sa lupain sa aking kamay; at ang lupain ay suko sa harap ng Panginoon, at sa harap ng kaniyang bayan.
“Yahweh our God is certainly with/helping you [RHQ]. He has allowed you to have peace with all the nearby nations [RHQ]. He has enabled my [army] to conquer [IDM] them, so now Yahweh and my people control them.
19 Ngayo'y inyong ilagak ang inyong puso at ang inyong kaluluwa upang hanaping sundin ang Panginoon ninyong Dios; kayo'y bumangon nga, at itayo ninyo ang santuario ng Panginoong Dios, upang dalhin ang kaban ng tipan ng Panginoon, at ang mga banal na kasangkapan ng Dios, sa loob ng bahay na itatayo sa pangalan ng Panginoon.
Now you must obey Yahweh completely. Help Solomon to arrange for building the temple for Yahweh God, in order that you can bring the Sacred Chest that contains the Ten Commandments and the other sacred items that belong to God into the temple that you will build to honor Yahweh.”
