1 Chronicles 22

1 And Dauid saide, This is the house of the Lord God, and this is the altar for the burnt offring of Israel.

Ale David gblɔ be, “Yehowa Mawu ƒe aƒe la anɔ afi sia eye nenema kee anye vɔsamlekpui si dzi Israel asa vɔ le.”

2 And Dauid commanded to gather together the strangers that were in the lande of Israel, and he set masons to hewe and polish stones to builde the house of God.

Azɔ la, David na be amedzro siwo katã nɔ Israelnyigba dzi la nakpa kpe na gbedoxɔ la tutu.

3 Dauid also prepared much yron for the nayles of the doores and of the gates, and for the ioynings, and abundance of brasse passing weight,

Emegbe la, wotsɔ gayibɔ tu gatagbadzɛwo na ʋɔtruwo kple agbowo kple nulégawo. Wololo akɔbli wòsɔ gbɔ ale gbegbe be womate ŋu adae o.

4 And cedar trees without nomber: for the Zidonians and they of Tyrus brought much cedar wood to Dauid.

Tirotɔwo kple Sidontɔwo tso sedati geɖewo vɛ na David.

5 And Dauid saide, Salomon my sonne is yong and tender, and we must builde an house for the Lord, magnificall, excellent and of great fame and dignitie throughout all countreyes. I will therefore nowe prepare for him. So Dauid prepared very much before his death.

David gblɔ be, “Vinye Solomo nye ɖekakpui dzaa aɖe ko, evɔ ele be Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la nanye xɔ nyui, wɔnuku, xɔŋkɔ aɖe le xexe blibo la me eya ta made asi dzadzraɖowɔwɔ me na etutu tso fifia.” Ale David ƒo ƒu xɔtunuawo da ɖi hafi eƒe kuɣi ɖo.

6 Then he called Salomon his sonne, and charged him to builde an house for the Lord God of Israel.

Azɔ la, egblɔ na ƒe via Solomo be wòatu gbedoxɔ la na Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la.

7 And Dauid said to Salomon, My sonne, I purposed with my selfe to builde an house to the Name of the Lord my God,

Egblɔ na Solomo be, “Vinye, medi be nye ŋutɔ matu gbedoxɔ la hafi,

8 But the worde of the Lord came to me, saying, Thou hast shed much blood, and hast made great battels: thou shalt not builde an house vnto my Name: for thou hast shead much blood vpon the earth in my sight.

ke Yehowa meɖe mɔ nam o. Egblɔ nam be, ‘Èwu ame geɖewo akpa le aʋa gãwo me. Èna anyigba biã le nye ŋkume eya ta menye wòe atu nye gbedoxɔ la o.

9 Beholde, a sonne is borne to thee, which shalbe a man of rest, for I will giue him rest from all his enemies rounde about: therefore his name is Salomon: and I will sende peace and quietnes vpon Israel in his dayes.

Ke mana nàdzi viŋutsu aɖe ame si anye ŋutifafame aɖe elabena mana ŋutifafa nanɔ eya kple futɔwo dome le dukɔ siwo ƒo xlã mi la me. Woayɔe be Solomo, si gɔmee nye, “Ŋutifafa” eye mana ŋutifafa kple dzidzeme Israel le eƒe fiaɖuɣi.

10 Hee shall builde an house for my Name, and he shalbe my sonne, and I will be his father, and I will establish the throne of his kingdome vpon Israel for euer.

Eyae atu nye gbedoxɔ la, anɔ abe nye ŋutɔ vinye ene eye manye fofoa. Mana ƒe viawo kple viawo ƒe viwo naɖu fia to Israel ƒe dzidzimewo katã me!’

11 Nowe therefore my sonne, the Lord shalbe with thee, and thou shalt prosper, and thou shalt builde an house to the Lord thy God, as he hath spoken of thee.

“Eya ta Yehowa nanɔ kpli wò eye wòana nuwo nadze edzi na wò esi nànɔ nu siwo wòɖo na wò la wɔm eye nànɔ Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la tum.

12 Onely the Lord giue thee wisedome and vnderstanding, and giue thee charge ouer Israel, euen to keepe the Lawe of the Lord thy God.

Yehowa nana gɔmesese wò ale be nàlé eƒe sewo me ɖe asi ne eɖo wò fiae ɖe Israel dzi.

13 Then thou shalt prosper, if thou take heede to obserue the statutes and the iudgements which the Lord commanded Moses for Israel: be strong and of good courage: feare not, neither bee afraide.

“Eya ta ne èlé se kple ɖoɖo siwo wòna Israel to Mose dzi me ɖe asi la, nuwo adze edzi na wò. Wɔ kalẽ eye nàlé dzi ɖe ƒo; mègavɔ̃ o, ke boŋ nàtsɔ dzo ɖe wò dɔwo ŋu!

14 For beholde, according to my pouertie haue I prepared for the house of the Lord an hundreth thousand talents of golde, and a thousand thousande talents of siluer, and of brasse and of yron passing weight: for there was abundance: I haue also prepared timber and stone, and thou mayest prouide more thereto.

“Metsɔ dzigbɔɖi blibo di sika ‘tɔn’ akpe etɔ̃ alafa ene blaatɔ̃, klosalo ‘tɔn’ akpe blaetɔ̃-vɔ-ene alafa atɔ̃ kple akɔbli kple gayibɔ kpekpeme gã aɖe hekpe ɖe ati kple kpe ŋu hena Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la tutu; mɔɖeɖe li be miadi nu siawo akpe wo faa.

15 Moreouer thou hast workmen with thee enough, hewers of stone, and workemen for timber, and all men expert in euery worke.

Gawu la, kpeɖolawo kple atikpalawo kple aɖaŋudɔwɔla vovovowo le asiwò.

16 Of golde, of siluer, and of brasse, and of yron there is no nomber: Vp therefore, and be doing, and the Lord wilbe with thee.

Aɖaŋudɔwɔla siawo nya sika, klosalo, akɔbli kple gayibɔ ŋu dɔ wɔwɔ nyuie eya ta dze dɔ la gɔme eye Yehowa nanɔ kpli wo.”

17 Dauid also commanded all the princes of Israel to helpe Salomon his sonne, saying,

Ale David ɖe gbe na Israel ƒe kplɔlawo katã be woakpe ɖe ye vi, Solomo ŋu le gbedoxɔ la tutu me.

18 Is not the Lord your God with you, and hath giuen you rest on euerie side? for hee hath giuen the inhabitants of the land into mine hand, and the land is subdued before the Lord and before his people.

Egblɔ be, “Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la nanɔ kpli mi. Ena ŋutifafa ɖo miawo kple dukɔ siwo ƒo xlã mi la dome elabena Yehowa ƒe ŋkɔ mee meɖu wo dzi le hena eƒe amewo.

19 Nowe set your hearts and your soules to seeke the Lord your God, and arise, and builde the Sanctuarie of the Lord God to bring the Arke of the couenant of the Lord, and the holy vessels of God into the house built for the Name of the Lord.

Azɔ la, midze agbagba le go ɖe sia ɖe me be, miaɖo to Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la eye miatsɔ nubablaɖaka la kple nu kɔkɔe bubu siwo ŋu dɔ wowɔna le subɔsubɔ me la va Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la me!”
