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, “This is where the house of the Lord God will be, and this is the place for 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 summon the foreigners living in the land of Israel, and he assigned stonecutters to prepare dressed stones to build 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 plenty of iron to make the nails for the entrance doors and for the supports, as well as 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.

He provided more cedar logs than could be counted, because the people of Sidon and Tyre had brought a huge 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.

David said to himself, “My son Solomon is still young and inexperienced, and the house that is to be built for the Lord must be truly magnificent, famous and glorious around the world. I need to start preparing for it.” So David made sure plenty of building materials were ready before he died.

6 Nígbà náà ó pe Solomoni ọmọ rẹ̀ ó sì sọ fun pé kí ó kọ́ ilé fún un Olúwa, Ọlọ́run Israẹli.

Then he sent 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.

David told Solomon, “My son, I had always wanted to build a house to honor 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 the Lord told me, ‘You have shed a lot of blood and engaged in many wars. You are not to build a house to honor me because I have seen you shed so much blood on the earth.

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 you will have a son who will be a man of peace. I will give him peace from all his enemies in the nations around. Solomon will be his name, and I will grant peace and quiet to Israel 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 to honor me. He will be my son, and I will be his father. And I will make sure the throne of his kingdom over Israel lasts 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 so you may succeed in building the house of the Lord your God, just 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.

Only may the Lord give you insight and understanding when he puts you in command of 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 be successful, as long as you are careful to follow the laws and regulations that the Lord through Moses instructed Israel to do. Be strong and be brave! Don't 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.

Look, I've taken a lot of trouble to provide for the house of the Lord— 100,000 talents of gold, 1,000,000 talents of silver, and bronze and iron, more than can be weighed.

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.

I have also provided timber and stone, but you will need to add more.

16 Nínú wúrà, fàdákà àti idẹ àti irin oníṣọ̀nà tí kò ní ìwọ̀n. Nísinsin yìí bẹ̀rẹ̀ iṣẹ́, kí Olúwa wà pẹ̀lú rẹ.”

You have many workers such as stonecutters, masons, carpenters, and all kinds of craftsmen of gold, silver, bronze, and iron—without limit. So get started, 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.

David also ordered all the leaders in 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.

“Isn't the Lord God with you? Hasn't he given you peace on all your borders?” he asked. “Why? Because he has placed the inhabitants of the land under my power, and they are now subject to the Lord and to 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, with your whole mind and heart, make a definite decision to always worship the Lord your God. Get started on building the sanctuary of the Lord God, Then you can bring the Ark of the Lord's Agreement and the holy things of God into the house that is to be built to honor the Lord.”
