1 Chronicles 28
1 And David assembled all the princes of Israel, the princes of the tribes, and the captains of the companies that served the king by course, and the captains of thousands, and the captains of hundreds, and the rulers over all the substance and cattle of the king and of his sons, with the officers, and the mighty men, even all the mighty men of valour, unto Jerusalem.
Dawudi n’akuŋŋaanya abakungu bonna aba Isirayiri e Yerusaalemi ng’omwo mwe muli abakulu b’ebika, n’abakulu b’ebitongole abaaweerezanga kabaka, n’abaduumizi ab’olukumi, n’abaduumizi ab’ekikumi, n’abakungu abaavunaanyizibwanga eby’obugagga n’amagana ebyali ebya kabaka ne batabani be, n’abakungu ab’omu lubiri, n’abasajja ab’amaanyi era n’abasajja bonna abazira.
2 Then David the king stood up upon his feet, and said: 'Hear me, my brethren, and my people; as for me, it was in my heart to build a house of rest for the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and for the footstool of our God; and I had made ready for the building.
Awo kabaka Dawudi n’ayimirira n’ayogera nti, “Mumpulirize baganda bange era abantu bange. Nnali nteseeteese mu mutima gwange okuzimbira essanduuko ey’endagaano ya Mukama n’entebe ey’ebigere bya Katonda, ennyumba, era nga nentegeka eyaayo ewedde okukolebwa.
3 But God said unto me: Thou shalt not build a house for My name, because thou art a man of war, and hast shed blood.
Naye Katonda n’aŋŋamba nti, ‘Tolinzimbira linnya lyange nnyumba, kubanga oli mutabaazi wa ntalo era wayiwa omusaayi.’
4 Howbeit the LORD, the God of Israel, chose me out of all the house of my father to be king over Israel for ever; for He hath chosen Judah to be prince, and in the house of Judah, the house of my father, and among the sons of my father He took pleasure in me to make me king over all Israel;
“Naye ate Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri yannonda mu nnyumba ya kitange yonna okuba kabaka wa Isirayiri emirembe gyonna. Yalonda Yuda okuba omukulembeze, ne mu nnyumba ya Yuda n’alondamu ennyumba ya kitange, ne mu batabani ba kitange n’asiima okunfuula kabaka wa Isirayiri yenna.
5 and of all my sons — for the LORD hath given me many sons — He hath chosen Solomon my son to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of the LORD over Israel.
Mu batabani bange bonna, kubanga Mukama ampadde bangi, Sulemaani mutabani wange gw’alonze okutuula ku ntebe ey’obwakabaka bwa Mukama mu Isirayiri.
6 And He said unto me: Solomon thy son, he shall build My house and My courts; for I have chosen him to be to Me for a son, and I will be to him for a father.
Yaŋŋamba nti, ‘Sulemaani mutabani wo y’alizimba ennyumba yange n’empya zange, kubanga mmulonze okuba omwana wange, era nange n’abeeranga kitaawe.
7 And I will establish his kingdom for ever, if he be constant to do My commandments and Mine ordinances, as at this day.
Ndinyweza obwakabaka bwe emirembe gyonna, bwatalirekayo okugondera ebiragiro byange n’amateeka gange nga bwe bigobelerwa mu nnaku zino.’
8 Now therefore, in the sight of all Israel, the congregation of the LORD, and in the hearing of our God, observe and seek out all the commandments of the LORD your God; that ye may possess this good land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children after you for ever.
“Kaakano nkukuutira mu lujjudde lwonna olwa Isirayiri, ekuŋŋaaniro lya Mukama, ne Katonda waffe ng’awulira, nti weekuume okugondera ebiragiro ebya Mukama Katonda wo, olyoke olye ensi eno ennungi era (n’abazzukulu) n’abaana ab’obusika bwo bagisikirenga emirembe gyonna.
9 And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve Him with a whole heart and with a willing mind; for the LORD searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts; if thou seek Him, He will be found of thee; but if thou forsake Him, He will cast thee off for ever.
“Era Sulemaani mutabani wange tegeera Katonda wa kitaawo, omuweerezenga n’omutima gumu n’emmeeme yo yonna, kubanga Mukama akebera emitima, era ategeera okufumiitiriza okw’ebirowoozo. Bw’onoomunoonyanga, onoomulabanga, naye bw’onoomulekanga, anaakuvangako emirembe gyonna.
10 Take heed now; for the LORD hath chosen thee to build a house for the sanctuary; be strong, and do it.'
Kaakano weekuume, kubanga Mukama akulonze okuzimba ennyumba ey’okusinzizangamu. Ba n’amaanyi, okole omulimu.”
11 Then David gave to Solomon his son the pattern of the porch of the temple, and of the houses thereof, and of the treasuries thereof, and of the upper rooms thereof, and of the inner chambers thereof, and of the place of the ark-cover;
Awo Dawudi n’akwasa Sulemaani mutabani we ekyokulabirako eky’ekisasi kya yeekaalu, n’ebizimbe byabyo, n’amawanika gaayo, n’ebisenge ebya waggulu, n’ebisenge eby’omunda, n’ekifo eky’entebe ey’okusaasira.
12 and the pattern of all that he had by the spirit, for the courts of the house of the LORD, and for all the chambers round about, for the treasuries of the house of God, and for the treasuries of the hallowed things;
Yamuwa n’enteekateeka ya buli kintu nga eky’empya za yeekaalu ya Mukama, n’ebisenge, ebyali bigiriranye, n’amawanika ga yeekaalu ya Mukama, n’ebintu byonna ebyawongebwa, ng’Omwoyo bwe yali agitadde ku mutima gwe.
13 also for the courses of the priests and the Levites, and for all the work of the service of the house of the LORD, and for all the vessels of service in the house of the LORD:
Yamuwa n’ebiragiro eby’okugobereranga ku bibinja bya bakabona, n’Abaleevi, n’olw’omulimu gwonna ogw’okuweerezanga mu yeekaalu ya Mukama, n’olw’ebintu byonna ebyakozesebwanga mu kuweereza mu nnyumba ya Mukama.
14 of gold by weight for the vessels of gold, for all vessels of every kind of service; of silver for all the vessels of silver by weight, for all vessels of every kind of service;
Yawaayo ebipimo ebya zaabu olw’ebintu byonna ebya zaabu ebyasabwanga buli mulundi, n’ebipimo ebya ffeeza olw’ebintu byonna ebya ffeeza ebyakozesebwanga buli mulundi;
15 by weight also for the candlesticks of gold, and for the lamps thereof, of gold, by weight for every candlestick and for the lamps thereof; and for the candlesticks of silver, silver by weight for every candlestick and for the lamps thereof, according to the use of every candlestick;
n’ebipimo eby’ettabaaza eza zaabu, n’ettabaaza zaakwo, n’ebipimo ebya zaabu ebya buli kikondo n’ettabaaza yaakyo, n’ebipimo ebya buli kikondo ekya ffeeza n’ettabaaza yaakyo;
16 and the gold by weight for the tables of showbread, for every table; and silver for the tables of silver;
n’ebipimo ebya zaabu eby’emmeeza ez’emigaati emitukuze egy’okulaga, n’ebipimo ebya ffeeza eby’emmeeza eza ffeeza;
17 and the flesh-hooks, and the basins, and the jars, of pure gold; and for the golden bowls by weight for every bowl; and for the silver bowls by weight for every bowl;
n’ebipimo ebya zaabu ennongoose eya wuuma, n’ebbakuli ezimasamasa, n’ekikopo, n’ebipimo ebya zaabu eby’ebbakuli eza zaabu, n’ebipimo ebya ffeeza eby’ebbakuli eza ffeeza;
18 and for the altar of incense refined gold by weight; and gold for the pattern of the chariot, even the cherubim, that spread out their wings, and covered the ark of the covenant of the LORD.
n’ebipimo ebya zaabu ennongoose ey’ekyoto eky’obubaane. N’amuwa n’enteekateeka ey’eggaali, be bakerubi aba zaabu abanjala ebiwaawaatiro byabwe ne babikka ku ssanduuko ey’endagaano ya Mukama.
19 'All this do I give thee in writing, as the LORD hath made me wise by His hand upon me, even all the works of this pattern.'
Awo Dawudi n’ayogera nti, “Ebyo byonna biri mu buwandiike, kubanga omukono gwa Mukama gwali wamu nange, era yampa okukitegeerera ddala.”
20 And David said to Solomon his son: 'Be strong and of good courage, and do it; fear not, nor be dismayed; for the LORD God, even my God, is with thee; He will not fail thee, nor forsake thee, until all the work for the service of the house of the LORD be finished.
Dawudi n’ayongera n’agamba Sulemaani mutabani we nti, “Ba n’amaanyi era guma omwoyo, okole omulimu. Totya so totekemuka wadde okuggwamu omwoyo, kubanga Mukama Katonda, Katonda wange ali wamu naawe. Taakwabulirenga so taakulekenga okutuusa omulimu gwonna ogw’okuweereza ogwa yeekaalu ye Mukama nga guwedde.
21 And, behold, there are the courses of the priests and the Levites, for all the service of the house of God; and there shall be with thee in all manner of work every willing man that hath skill, for any manner of service; also the captains and all the people will be wholly at thy commandment.'
Era, laba, ebibiina bya bakabona n’Abaleevi beeteefuteefu okukola omulimu ku yeekaalu ya Katonda, na buli musajja omumanyirivu mu kuweesa okw’engeri zonna anaakuyamba mu mulimu gwonna. Era n’abakungu wamu n’abantu bonna banaagonderanga buli kiragiro kyo.”
