1 Chronicles 28
1 Dafidi pe gbogbo àwọn oníṣẹ́ ti Israẹli láti péjọ ní Jerusalẹmu. Àwọn ìjòyè lórí àwọn ẹ̀yà, àwọn alákòóso ìpín nínú iṣẹ́ bí ọba, àwọn alákòóso ẹgbẹẹgbẹ̀rún àti àwọn alákòóso ọ̀rọ̀ọ̀rún àti àwọn oníṣẹ́ tí ó wà ní ìdí bíbojútó gbogbo àwọn ẹrù àti ohun ọ̀sìn tí ó jẹ́ ti ọba àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú ààfin àwọn oníṣẹ́ ààfin, àwọn ọkùnrin alágbára àti gbogbo àwọn ògbójú jagunjagun lápapọ̀.
And so David called together all the leaders of Israel, the rulers of the tribes, and those in charge of the companies, who were ministering to the king, and also the tribunes and centurions, and those in charge of the substance and possessions of the king, and his sons, with the eunuchs and the powerful and those most experienced in the army, at Jerusalem.
2 Ọba Dafidi dìde dúró ní ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀, o sì wí pé, “Fetísílẹ̀ sí mi, ẹ̀yin ará mi àti ẹ̀yin ènìyàn mi. Èmi ní o ni lọ́kàn mi láti kọ́ ilé gẹ́gẹ́ bí ibi ìsinmi fún àpótí ẹ̀rí tí Olúwa fún àpótí ìtìsẹ̀ Ọlọ́run wa, èmi sì gbèrò láti kọ́ ọ.
And when the king had risen up and was standing, he said: “Listen to me, my brothers and my people. I thought that I would build a house, in which the ark of the covenant of the Lord, the footstool of our God, might rest. And so I prepared everything for its building.
3 Ṣùgbọ́n Ọlọ́run sọ fún mi pé, ‘Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ kọ́ ilé fún orúkọ mi, nítorí ìwọ jẹ́ jagunjagun, ìwọ sì ti tàjẹ̀ sílẹ̀.’
But God said to me: ‘You shall not build a house to my name, because you are a man of war, and have shed blood.’
4 “Síbẹ̀ Olúwa, Ọlọ́run Israẹli yàn mí láti gbogbo ìdílé láti jẹ́ ọba lórí Israẹli, títí láé. Ó yan Juda gẹ́gẹ́ bí olórí, àti láti ilé Juda, ó yan ìdílé mi, àti láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn ọmọ baba à mí, ó tẹ́ Ẹ lọ́rùn láti fi mí ṣe ọba lórí gbogbo Israẹli.
Now the Lord God of Israel chose me, out of the entire house of my father, so that I would be king over Israel forever. For from Judah he chose leaders; then from the house of Judah he chose the house of my father; and from the sons of my father, it pleased him to choose me as king over all of Israel.
5 Nínú gbogbo àwọn ọmọ mi pẹ̀lú Olúwa ti fún mi ní púpọ̀, ó ti yan ọmọ mi Solomoni láti jókòó lórí ìtẹ́ ìjọba ti Olúwa lórí Israẹli.
Then too, among my sons (for the Lord has given me many sons) he chose Solomon my son, so that he would sit upon the throne of the kingdom of the Lord, over Israel.
6 Ó wí fún mi pé, Solomoni ọmọ rẹ ni ẹni tí yóò kọ́ ilé mi àti àwọn ààfin mi, nítorí tí èmi ti yàn án láti ṣe ọmọ mi èmi yóò sì jẹ́ baba a rẹ̀.
And he said to me: ‘Solomon your son shall build my house and my courts. For I have chosen him to be to me as a son, and I will be to him as a father.
7 Èmi yóò fi ìdí ìjọba rẹ̀ kalẹ̀ títí láé tí kò bá kọ̀ láti gbé àṣẹ àti òfin mi jáde, gẹ́gẹ́ bí a ti ṣe é ní àsìkò yìí.
And I will make firm his kingdom, even unto eternity, if he will persevere in doing my precepts and judgments, as also today.’
8 “Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, nísinsin yìí, èmi pàṣẹ fún ọ ní ojú gbogbo Israẹli àti ní ti ìpéjọpọ̀ tí Olúwa, àti ní etí ìgbọ́ Ọlọ́run wa. Ṣọ́ra kó o sì tẹ̀lé gbogbo òfin Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ kí ìwọ kí ó le jogún ilẹ̀ dáradára yìí, kí o sì mú un lọ síwájú gẹ́gẹ́ bí ogún rẹ fún àwọn ìran ọmọ rẹ títí láé.
Now therefore, before the entire assembly of Israel, in the hearing of our God, keep and seek all the commandments of the Lord our God, so that you may possess the good land, and may bequeath it to your sons after you, even forever.
9 “Àti ìwọ, ọmọ mi Solomoni, rántí Ọlọ́run baba à rẹ, kí o sì sìn ín pẹ̀lú tọkàntọkàn pẹ̀lú ìfọkànsí pẹ̀lú ọkàn tí ó pé, nítorí Olúwa ṣàwárí gbogbo ọkàn ó sì mọ gbogbo èrò. Tí ìwọ bá wá a, ìwọ yóò rí i; ṣùgbọ́n tí ìwọ bá kọ̀ ọ́ sílẹ̀, òun yóò kọ̀ ọ́ títí láé.
And as for you, my son Solomon, know the God of your father, and serve him with a perfect heart and a willing mind. For the Lord searches all hearts, and understands the thoughts of all minds. If you seek him, you will find him. But if you abandon him, he will cast you aside for eternity.
10 Gbèrò báyìí nítorí tí Olúwa ti yàn ọ́ láti kọ́ ilé Olúwa gẹ́gẹ́ bí ilé tí a yà sí mímọ́ fún Olúwa. Jẹ́ alágbára kí ó sì ṣe iṣẹ́ náà.”
Now therefore, since the Lord has chosen you, so that you would build the house of the Sanctuary, be strengthened and accomplish it.”
11 Nígbà náà ni Dafidi fi àpẹẹrẹ fún Solomoni ọmọ rẹ̀ ti ìloro àti ti ilé Olúwa náà, kíkọ́ ọ rẹ̀, àti ti ibi ìṣúra rẹ̀, àti ti iyàrá òkè rẹ̀, àti ti ìyẹ̀wù rẹ̀ àti ti ibùjókòó àánú.
Then David gave to his son Solomon a description of the portico, and the temple, and the storerooms, and the upper floor, and the innermost rooms, and the house of propitiation,
12 Ó fún un ní àwọn ètò gbogbo èyí tí ẹ̀mí ti fi sí ọkàn rẹ̀ fún ti ààfin ilé Olúwa àti gbogbo yàrá tí ó yíká fún ìṣúra ilé Ọlọ́run àti fún ìṣúra fún ohun yíyà sọ́tọ̀.
and indeed also of all the courts that he had planned, and the outer rooms on all sides, for the treasuries of the house of the Lord, and for the treasuries of the holy things,
13 Ó fún un ní àwọn ìlànà fún ìpín ti àwọn àlùfáà àti àwọn ará Lefi àti fún gbogbo iṣẹ́ ìsìn nínú ilé Olúwa àti fún gbogbo ohun èlò tí wọn ó lò nínú ìsìn rẹ̀.
and for the divisions of the priests and the Levites: concerning all the works of the house of the Lord and all the items in the ministry of the temple of the Lord.
14 Ó yàn ìwọ̀n wúrà fún gbogbo ohun èlò wúrà tí a ó lò níbi oríṣìí ìsìn, àti ìwọ̀n fàdákà fún gbogbo ohun èlò fàdákà tí a ó lò fún oríṣìí ìsìn,
There was gold by weight for every vessel of the ministry, and also silver by weight for the diversity of vessels and equipment.
15 ìwọ̀n wúrà fún ìdúró fìtílà àti fìtílà wọn, fún ìwọ̀n fún ọ̀kọ̀ọ̀kan ìdúró fìtílà àti fìtílà wọn; àti ìwọ̀n fàdákà ìdúró fìtílà fàdákà àti àwọn fìtílà rẹ̀, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìlò ti gbogbo ìdúró fìtílà.
Then too, he distributed gold for the lampstands and their lamps, according to the measure of each of the lampstands with their lamps. Similarly also, he distributed silver by weight for the silver lampstands with their lamps, according to the diversity of their measure.
16 Ìwọ̀n ti wúrà fun tábìlì, tábìlì fún àkàrà tí a yà sọ́tọ̀; ìwọ̀n fàdákà fún àwọn tábìlì fàdákà;
Also, he gave gold for the tables of the presence, according to the diversity of the tables; similarly too, he gave silver for the other tables of silver.
17 ìwọ̀n kìkì wúrà fún àwọn àmúga ìjẹun, àwọn ìbùwọ́n ọpọ́n àti àwọn ìkòkò ìpọnmi; ìwọ̀n wúrà fún gbogbo àwopọ̀kọ́ fàdákà;
Also, he distributed from the purest gold for the small hooks and the bowls and the censors, as well as for the little lions of gold, in accord with the precise measure of the weight, for lion after lion. Similarly too, for the lions of silver, he set aside a different weight of silver.
18 àti ìwọ̀n ìdá wúrà fún pẹpẹ tùràrí ó fún un ní ètò fún kẹ̀kẹ́, ìyẹn ni pé àwọn ìdúró kérúbù wúrà tí wọ́n tan iye wọn ká, wọ́n sì bo àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa.
Then, for the altar on which the incense was burned, he gave the purest gold. And from the same he made the likeness of the chariot of the Cherubim, with extended wings, which is veiling the ark of the covenant of the Lord.
19 “Gbogbo èyí,” ni Dafidi wí pé, “Èmi ní kíkọ sílẹ̀ láti ọwọ́ Olúwa sórí mi, ó sì fún mí ní ìmọ̀ nínú gbogbo iṣẹ́ ètò yìí.”
“All these things,” he said, “came to me written by the hand of the Lord, so that I would understand all the works of the pattern.”
20 Dafidi tún sọ fún Solomoni ọmọ rẹ̀ pé, “Jẹ́ alágbára kí o sì gbóyà, kí o sì ṣe iṣẹ́ náà. Má ṣe bẹ̀rù tàbí dààmú, nítorí Olúwa Ọlọ́run, Ọlọ́run mi, wà pẹ̀lú rẹ. Òun kì yóò sì já ọ kule tàbí kọ ọ sílẹ̀ títí gbogbo iṣẹ́ fún ìsìn ní ti ilé Olúwa yóò fi parí.
David also said to his son Solomon: “Act manfully, and be strengthened, and carry it out. You should not be afraid, and you should not be dismayed. For the Lord my God will be with you, and he will not send you away, nor will he abandon you, until you have perfected the entire work of the ministry of the house of the Lord.
21 Ìpín àwọn àlùfáà àti àwọn ará Lefi ti ṣetán fún gbogbo iṣẹ́ ilé Olúwa. Gbogbo ọkùnrin tí ó ní ìfẹ́ sí i tí ó sì ní òye oríṣìíríṣìí iṣẹ́. Yóò ràn ọ́ lọ́wọ́ nínú iṣẹ́ náà. Àwọn ìjòyè àti gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn yóò gbọ́rọ̀ sí gbogbo àṣẹ rẹ.”
Behold, the divisions of the priests and the Levites, for every ministry of the house of the Lord, are standing before you. And they have been prepared, and so they know, both the leaders and the people, how to carry out all your precepts.”
