Sie Chronicle 28

1 Tokosra David el sapkin tuh mwet kol lun Israel nukewa in toeni nu Jerusalem. Ke ma inge mwet kol ke sruf nukewa, mwet fulat su karingin oakwuk ac orekma lun tokosrai uh, sifen kais sie sou lulap, mwet liyaung ima ac kosro nutin tokosra ac wen natul — aok, mwet kol nukewa inkul sin tokosra, ac captain lun un mwet mweun, ac mwet fulat nukewa — elos tukeni nu Jerusalem.

David assembled all the princes of Israel, the princes of the tribes, the captains of the companies who served the king by division, the captains of thousands, the captains of hundreds, and the rulers over all the substance and possessions of the king and of his sons, with the officers and the mighty men, even all the mighty men of valour, to Jerusalem.

2 David el tuyak ye mutalos ac fahk, “Porongeyu, mwet wiuk ac mwet luk. Nga tuh kena musaela sie lohm tuh Tuptup in Wuleang in oakwuki we, su loangeyen nien LEUM GOD lasr. Ac nga akola tari in musai sie tempul in akfulatyal.

Then David the king stood up on his feet and said, “Hear me, my brothers and my people! As for me, it was in my heart to build a house of rest for the ark of the LORD’s covenant, and for the footstool of our God; and I had prepared for the building.

3 Tusruktu, El tia lela nu sik in oru, mweyen nga sie mwet mweun ac yokla srah nga aksororyela.

But God said to me, ‘You shall not build a house for my name, because you are a man of war and have shed blood.’

4 LEUM GOD, su God lun Israel, El suleyula ac tulik nutik in tokosra fin mwet Israel nwe tok. El sulela sruf lal Judah tuh elos in mwet kol, ac liki inmasrlon mwet Judah El sulela sou lun papa tumuk. Na liki inmasrlon sou sac nufon El tuh insewowo in eisyu ac oru tuh nga in tokosra fin Israel nufon.

However the LORD, the God of Israel, chose me out of all the house of my father to be king over Israel forever. For he has chosen Judah to be prince; and in the house of Judah, the house of my father; and amongst the sons of my father he took pleasure in me to make me king over all Israel.

5 El ase wen pus nutik, ac liki inmasrlolos nufon El sulella Solomon tuh elan leum fin Israel, tokosrai lun LEUM GOD.

Of all my sons (for the LORD has given me many sons), he has chosen Solomon my son to sit on the throne of the LORD’s kingdom over Israel.

6 “LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, ‘Solomon, wen nutum, pa ac musaela Tempul luk. Nga sulella tari tuh el fah wen nutik, ac nga ac fah papa tumal.

He said to me, ‘Solomon, your son, shall build my house and my courts; for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be his father.

7 Nga ac fah oru tuh tokosrai lal in oan ma pahtpat el fin oaru na in akos ma sap luk, oana ke el oru inge.’

I will establish his kingdom forever if he continues to do my commandments and my ordinances, as it is today.’

8 “Ke ma inge, mwet luk, ye mutun God lasr ac ye mutun walil se lun Israel inge, su mwet lun LEUM GOD, nga sap ku nu suwos tuh kowos in arulana karinganang ma nukewa ma LEUM GOD lasr El sapkin nu sesr, kowos in mau ku in mutana in acn wowo se inge, ac filiya tuh in mwe usru nu sin fwilin tulik nutuwos nwe tok.”

Now therefore, in the sight of all Israel, the LORD’s assembly, and in the audience of our God, observe and seek out all the commandments of the LORD your God, that you may possess this good land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children after you forever.

9 Na el fahk nu sel Solomon, “Wen nutik, nga sap ku nu sum tuh kom in etu ac akilen God lun papa tomom, ac kulansupwal ke insewowo ac nunak pwaye. El etu nunak lasr ac lungse lasr nukewa. Kom fin sokol, El ac fah liyekomyang, a kom fin forla lukel, El ac fah siskomla nwe tok.

You, Solomon my son, know the God of your father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind; for the LORD searches all hearts, and understands all the imaginations of the thoughts. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will cast you off forever.

10 Kom in akilen lah LEUM GOD El sulekomla tuh kom in musai Tempul mutal lal. Inge kom in orala, ac oru ke kuiyom nufon.”

Take heed now, for the LORD has chosen you to build a house for the sanctuary. Be strong, and do it.”

11 David el sang plan nukewa ke inkul lun Tempul uh nu sel Solomon — nu ke nien filma ac infukil nukewa saya, oayapa nu ke Acn Mutal na Mutal, su nien eis nunak munas ke ma koluk.

Then David gave to Solomon his son the plans for the porch of the temple, for its houses, for its treasuries, for its upper rooms, for its inner rooms, for the place of the mercy seat;

12 El oayapa sang nu sel Solomon plan nukewa ma el oakiya nu ke likinum in Tempul ac lohm nukewa rauneak likinum uh, oayapa fukil in karinganang kufwen mwe orekma lun Tempul ac mwe sang ma kisakinyukla nu sin LEUM GOD.

and the plans of all that he had by the Spirit, for the courts of the LORD’s house, for all the surrounding rooms, for the treasuries of God’s house, and for the treasuries of the dedicated things;

13 David el oayapa sang nu sel oakwuk lal ke kunokon lun mwet tol ac mwet Levi, nu ke orekma lalos in Tempul, oayapa nu ke karinganang kufwen mwe orekma nukewa in Tempul uh.

also for the divisions of the priests and the Levites, for all the work of the service of the LORD’s house, and for all the vessels of service in the LORD’s house—

14 El fahkang pac lupan silver ac gold ma fal in sang orala ahlu ma ac orekmakinyuk ke pacl in alu,

of gold by weight for the gold for all vessels of every kind of service, for all the vessels of silver by weight, for all vessels of every kind of service;

15 oayapa nu ke kais sie lam ac sukan lam uh,

by weight also for the lamp stands of gold, and for its lamps, of gold, by weight for every lamp stand and for its lamps; and for the lamp stands of silver, by weight for every lamp stand and for its lamps, according to the use of every lamp stand;

16 ac nu ke tepu silver, ac nu ke kais sie tepu gold ma bread kisakinyuk nu sin God ac fah oan fac.

and the gold by weight for the tables of show bread, for every table; and silver for the tables of silver;

17 El oayapa fahkang lupan gold nasnas ma ac orekmakinyuk in sang orala fork, bowl, ac sufa, oayapa lupan silver ac gold in sang orek ahlu saya,

and the forks, the basins, and the cups, of pure gold; and for the golden bowls by weight for every bowl; and for the silver bowls by weight for every bowl;

18 ac lupan gold nasnas in sang orala loang in kisakin mwe kisa keng, oayapa chariot in us cherub uh su po sohksok lalos ac fah asrosrelik ac sunya Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD.

and for the altar of incense, refined gold by weight; and gold for the plans for the chariot, and the cherubim that spread out and cover the ark of the LORD’s covenant.

19 Tokosra David el fahk, “Ma inge nukewa oasr ke plan se ma simla fal nu ke ma LEUM GOD El sifacna akkalemye ac ase nu sik in tafwela.”

“All this”, David said, “I have been made to understand in writing from the LORD’s hand, even all the works of this pattern.”

20 Tokosra David el fahk nu sel Solomon, wen natul, “Kom in ku ac pulaik na. Mutaweak orekma an, ac nimet lela kutena ma in kutongya. LEUM GOD, su nga kulansupu, El ac fah wi kom. El ac fah tia siskomla, a El ac fah muta yurum nwe ke kom aksafyela orekma nukewa nu ke Tempul uh.

David said to Solomon his son, “Be strong and courageous, and do it. Don’t be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD God, even my God, is with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you, until all the work for the service of the LORD’s house is finished.

21 Itukyang tari ma kunen mwet tol ac mwet Levi, ma elos in oru in Tempul uh. Mwet orekma ke kain sroasr nukewa elos akola in kasrekom, ac mwet nukewa wi mwet kol lalos elos muta ye sapsap lom.”

Behold, there are the divisions of the priests and the Levites for all the service of God’s house. Every willing man who has skill for any kind of service shall be with you in all kinds of work. Also the captains and all the people will be entirely at your command.”
