1 Chronicles 22
1 Nígbà náà Dafidi wí pé, “Ilé Olúwa Ọlọ́run ni ó gbọdọ̀ wà níbí, àti pẹ̀lú pẹpẹ ẹbọ sísun fún Israẹli.”
Then David said, “Here shall be the house of the LORD God, as well as the altar of burnt offering for Israel.”
2 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Dafidi pàṣẹ láti kó àwọn àjèjì tí ń gbé ní Israẹli jọ, àti wí pé lára wọn ni ó ti yan àwọn agbẹ́-òkúta láti gbé òkúta dáradára láti fi kọ́lé Ọlọ́run.
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 Dafidi sì pèsè ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ iye irin láti fi ṣe ìṣó fún àwọn ìlẹ̀kùn ẹnu-ọ̀nà àti fún idẹ; àti fún òpó idẹ ni àìní ìwọ̀n.
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 Ó sì tún pèsè ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ igi Kedari tí ó jẹ́ àìníye, nítorí pé àwọn ará Sidoni àti àwọn ará Tire mú ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ igi kedari wá fún Dafidi.
and more cedar logs than could be counted; for the Sidonians and Tyrians had brought a large quantity of cedar logs to David.
5 Dafidi wí pé, “Ọmọ mi Solomoni ọ̀dọ́mọdé ni ó sì jẹ́ aláìní ìrírí, ilé tí a ó kọ́ fún Olúwa gbọdọ̀ jẹ́ títóbi jọjọ, kí ó sì ní òkìkí àti ògo jákèjádò gbogbo àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè. Nítorí náà ni èmi yóò ṣe pèsè sílẹ̀ fún un”. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Dafidi sì ṣe ìpèsè sílẹ̀ lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀ kí ó tó di wí pé ó kú.
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 Nígbà náà ó pe Solomoni ọmọ rẹ̀ ó sì sọ fun pé kí ó kọ́ ilé fún un Olúwa, Ọlọ́run Israẹli.
Then David called for his son Solomon and instructed him to build a house for the LORD, the God of Israel.
7 Dafidi sì wí fún Solomoni pé, “Ọmọ mi, mo sì ní-in ní ọkàn mi láti kọ́ ilé fún orúkọ Olúwa Ọlọ́run mi.
“My son,” said David to Solomon, “it was in my heart to build a house for the Name of the LORD my God,
8 Ṣùgbọ́n ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ̀ mí wá wí pé, ‘Ìwọ ti ta ẹ̀jẹ̀ sílẹ̀ ní ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀, o sì ti ja ọ̀pọ̀ ogun ńlá ńlá, kì í ṣe ìwọ ni yóò kọ́ ilé fún orúkọ mi, nítorí ìwọ ti ta ẹ̀jẹ̀ sílẹ̀ púpọ̀ lórí ilẹ̀ ní ojú mi.
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 Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ yóò ní ọmọ tí yóò sì jẹ́ ọkùnrin onírẹ̀lẹ̀ àti onísinmi, Èmi yóò sì fún un ní ìsinmi láti ọ̀dọ̀ gbogbo àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ̀ lórí gbogbo ilẹ̀ yíká. Orúkọ rẹ̀ yóò sì máa jẹ́ Solomoni, Èmi yóò sì fi àlàáfíà àti ìdákẹ́ jẹ́ẹ́ fún Israẹli lásìkò ìjọba rẹ̀.
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 Òun ni ẹni náà tí yóò kọ́ ilé fún orúkọ mi. Yóò sì jẹ́ ọmọ mi, èmi yóò sì jẹ́ baba rẹ̀ èmi yóò sì fi ìdí ìtẹ́ ìjọba rẹ̀ múlẹ̀ lórí Israẹli láéláé.’
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 “Nísinsin yìí, ọmọ mi, kí Olúwa wà pẹ̀lú rẹ, kí ìwọ kí ó sì ní àṣeyọrí kí o sì kọ́ ilé Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ, àti gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti sọ nípa rẹ.
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 Kí Olúwa kí ó fún ọ ni ọgbọ́n àti òye nígbà tí ó bá fi ọ́ ṣe aláṣẹ lórí Israẹli, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kí ìwọ kí ó lè pa òfin Olúwa Ọlọ́run mọ́.
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 Nígbà náà ìwọ yóò sì ní àṣeyọrí tí ìwọ bá ṣe àkíyèsí láti mú àṣẹ àti ìdájọ́ àti òfin ti Olúwa ti fi fún Mose fun Israẹli ṣe. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ki ìwọ jẹ́ alágbára àti onígboyà. Má ṣè bẹ̀rù tàbí kí àyà má sì ṣe fò ọ́.
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 “Èmi ti gba ìpọ́njú ńlá láti ṣe fún ilé Olúwa ọ̀kẹ́ márùn-ún tálẹ́ǹtì wúrà, àti ẹgbẹ̀rún ẹgbẹ̀rún tálẹ́ǹtì fàdákà, ìwọ̀n idẹ àti irin tí ó tóbi àìní ìwọ̀n, àti ìtì igi àti òkúta. Ìwọ sì tún le fi kún wọn.
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 Ìwọ sì ní ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ àwọn oníṣẹ́ ènìyàn: àwọn gbẹ́nàgbẹ́nà, àti àwọn oníṣọ̀nà òkúta àti àwọn agbẹ́-òkúta, àti gẹ́gẹ́ bí onírúurú ọlọ́gbọ́n ènìyàn ní gbogbo onírúurú iṣẹ́.
You also have many workers: stonecutters, masons, carpenters, and men skilled in every kind of work—
16 Nínú wúrà, fàdákà àti idẹ àti irin oníṣọ̀nà tí kò ní ìwọ̀n. Nísinsin yìí bẹ̀rẹ̀ iṣẹ́, kí Olúwa wà pẹ̀lú rẹ.”
in gold and silver, bronze and iron—craftsmen beyond number. Now begin the work, and may the LORD be with you.”
17 Nígbà náà Dafidi pa á láṣẹ fún gbogbo àwọn àgbàgbà ní Israẹli láti ran Solomoni ọmọ rẹ̀ lọ́wọ́.
Then David ordered all the leaders of Israel to help his son Solomon:
18 Ó sì wí pé, “Ṣé kò sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ pẹ̀lú rẹ? Òun kò ha ti fi ìsinmi fún ọ lórí gbogbo ilẹ̀? Nítorí ó sì ti fi àwọn tí ń gbé ní ilẹ̀ náà lé mi lọ́wọ́ ó sì ti fi ìṣẹ́gun fún ilẹ̀ náà níwájú Olúwa àti níwájú àwọn ènìyàn.
“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 Nísinsin yìí, ẹ ṣí ọkàn yin páyà àti àyà yín sí àti wá Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín. Bẹ́ẹ̀ sì ni kọ́ ibi mímọ́ fún Olúwa Ọlọ́run. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kí ìwọ kí ó le gbé àpótí ẹ̀rí ti májẹ̀mú Olúwa àti ohun èlò mímọ́ tí ó jẹ́ ti Ọlọ́run, sínú ilé Olúwa tí a o kọ́ fún orúkọ Olúwa.”
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.”
