1 Chronicles 29
1 Furthermore David the king said to all the congregation, Solomon my son, whom alone God hath chosen, is yet young and tender, and the work is great: for the palace is not for man, but for the LORD God.
Mfalme Daudi akasema kwa kusanyiko lote, “Sulemani mwanangu, ambaye mwenyewe Mungu amemchagu, bado nimdogo na hana uzoefu, na jukumu ni kubwa. Maana hekalu sio kwa ajili ya watu bali la Mungu.
2 Now I have prepared with all my might for the house of my God the gold for things to be made of gold, and the silver for things of silver, and the brass for things of brass, the iron for things of iron, and wood for things of wood; onyx stones, and stones to be set, glittering stones, and of various colours, and all manner of precious stones, and marble stones in abundance.
Hivyo nimefanya kwa ubora wangu kutoa kwa ajili ya hekalu la Mungu. Nina toa dhahabu kwa vitu vya kujengwa na dhahabu, fedha kwa vitu vya kujengwa na fedha, shaba kwa vitu vya kujengwa na shaba, nishati kwa vitu vya kujengwa na nishati, na mbao kwa vitu vya kujengwa na mbao. Pia nina toa mawe ya shohamu, mawe ya kupangwa, mawe ya upambaji wandani ya rangi mbali mbali - kila haina ya mawe ya thamani - na marimari kwa wingi.
3 Moreover, because I have set my affection to the house of my God, I have of my own possessions, of gold and silver, which I have given to the house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the holy house,
Sasa, kwasababu ya mapenzi yangu kwa nyumba ya Mungu, Ninatoa hazina yangu binafsi ya dhahabu na fedha. Ninafanya hivi kwa nyongeza kwa yote niliyofanya katika hekalu takatifu:
4 Even three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls of the houses:
talanta za dhahabu elfu tatu kutoka Ofiri, na talanta elfu saba za fedha zilizotakasika, ili kufunika kuta za majengo.
5 The gold for things of gold, and the silver for things of silver, and for all manner of work to be made by the hands of craftsmen. And who then is willing to consecrate his service this day to the LORD?
Ninachangia dhahabu kwa vitu vya kujengwa na dhahabu, na fedha kwa vitu vya kujengwa na fedha, na kazi zote zinazotakiwa kufanywa na wajenzi. Nani mwingine anataka kuchangia kwa Yahweh leo na kujitoa kwake?”
6 Then the heads of the fathers and princes of the tribes of Israel, and the captains of thousands and of hundreds, with the rulers over the king’s work, offered willingly,
Kisha sadaka za hiari zilitolewa na viongozi wa mababu wa familia zao, viongozi wa makabila ya Israeli, wakuu wa maelfu na mamia, na waamuzi waliojuu ya kazi ya mfalme.
7 And gave for the service of the house of God of gold five thousand talents and ten thousand drams, and of silver ten thousand talents, and of brass eighteen thousand talents, and one hundred thousand talents of iron.
Walitoa kwa ajili ya huduma ya nyumba ya Mungu talanta elfu tano na darkoni elfu kumi za dhahabu, talanta elfu kumi za fedha, talanta elfu nane za fedha, na talanta za chuma 100, 000.
8 And they with whom precious stones were found gave them to the treasury of the house of the LORD, by the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite.
Haao walio na mawe ya thamani waliyatoa katika Hazina ya nyumba Yahweh, chini ya usimamizi wa Yehieli, mzao wa Gerishoni.
9 Then the people rejoiced, for that they offered willingly, because with perfect heart they offered willingly to the LORD: and David the king also rejoiced with great joy.
Watu walifurahi kwa ajili ya hizi sadaka za hiari, kwasababu walitoa kwa moyo wao wote kwa Yahweh. Mfalme Daudi pia alifurahi sana.
10 Therefore David blessed the LORD before all the congregation: and David said, Blessed be thou, LORD God of Israel our father, for ever and ever.
Daudi alimbariki Yahweh mbele ya kusanyiko lote. Alisema, “Na uabudiwe, Yahweh, Mungu wa Israeli babu wetu, milele na milele.
11 Thine, O LORD, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and on the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all.
Kwako, Yahweh, kuna ukuu, nguvu, utukufu, ushindi, na enzi. Kwa kuwa yote yalio mbinguni na duniani ni yako. Kwako ni ufalme, Yahweh, na umetukuzwa kama mtawala juu ya vyote.
12 Both riches and honour come from thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thy hand is power and might; and in thy hand it is to make great, and to give strength to all.
Utajiri na heshima utoka kwako, unatawala juu ya watu wote. Mkononi mwako kuna nguvu na uwezo. Unao uweza na nguvu ya kuwafanya watu kuwa mkuu na kumpa uweza yeyote.
13 Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise thy glorious name.
Kisha sasa, Mungu wetu, tunakushukuru na kusifu jina lako tukufu.
14 But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? for all things come from thee, and of thy own have we given thee.
Lakini mimi ni nani, na watu wangu ni nani, tustahili kutoa kwa hiari hivi vitu? Kweli, vitu vyote vya toka kwako, na tumerudisha kwako vilivyo vyako.
15 For we are strangers before thee, and sojourners, as were all our fathers: our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is no abiding.
Kwa kuwa sisi ni wageni na wasafiri mbele zako, mababu zetu wote walikuwa. Siku zetu katika dunia ni kama kivuli, na hakuna tumaini la kubaki duniani.
16 O LORD our God, all this abundance that we have prepared to build thee an house for thy holy name cometh from thy hand, and is all thy own.
Yahweh Mungu wetu, utajiri wote tulio kusanya kujenga hekalu kwa kuheshimu jina lako - watoka kwako na ni wako.
17 I know also, my God, that thou triest the heart, and hast pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of my heart I have willingly offered all these things: and now have I seen with joy thy people, who are present here, to offer willingly to thee.
Ninajua, Mungu wangu, unachunguza moyo na wapendezwa na unyofu. Kwangu mimi, kwa unyofu wa moyo wangu nimetoa kwa hiari vitu vyote, na sasa natazama kwa furaha watu walio hapa wakitoa tunu kwako.
18 O LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, our fathers, keep this for ever in the imagination of the thoughts of the heart of thy people, and prepare their heart to thee:
yahweh, Mungu wa Ibrahimu, Isaka, na Israeli - mababu zetu - hifadhi hili katika fikra za watu wako. Elekeza mioyo yao kwako.
19 And give to Solomon my son a perfect heart, to keep thy commandments, thy testimonies, and thy statutes, and to do all these things, and to build the palace, for which I have made provision.
Mjalie Sulemani mwanangu moyo wa shauku wakutii amri zako, shuhuda za agano lako, na maagizo yako, na kutekeleza mipango hii yote ya kujenga nyumba niliyoiandaa.”
20 And David said to all the congregation, Now bless the LORD your God. And all the congregation blessed the LORD God of their fathers, and bowed their heads, and worshipped the LORD, and the king.
Daudi akasema kwa kusanyiko lote, “Sasa mbariki Yahweh Mungu wenu.” Kusanyiko lote likambariki Yahweh, Munug wa mababu zao, wakainamisha vichwa vyao na kumuabudu Yahweh na kusujudu mbele za mfalme.
21 And they sacrificed sacrifices to the LORD, and offered burnt offerings to the LORD, on the day following that day, even a thousand bulls, a thousand rams, and a thousand lambs, with their drink offerings, and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel:
Kwa siku iliyo fuata, wakatoa dhabiu kwa Yahweh na kumtolea sadaka ya kuteketeza. Walitoa sadaka ya ng'ombe elfu moja, kondoo elfu moja, na wana kondoo elfu moja, pamoja na sadaka zao za vinywaji na dhabihu tele kwa Israeli yote.
22 And ate and drank before the LORD on that day with great gladness. And they made Solomon the son of David king the second time, and anointed him to the LORD to be the chief governor, and Zadok to be priest.
Siku ile, walikunywa na kula mbele za Yahweh kwa furaha tele. Walimfanya Sulemani, mwana wa Daudi, mfalme mara ya pili, na kumpaka mafuta ya mamlaka ya Yahweh kuwa mfalme. Pia walimpaka Zadoki mafuta kuwa mfalme.
23 Then Solomon sat on the throne of the LORD as king instead of David his father, and prospered; and all Israel obeyed him.
Kisha Sulemani akaketi kwenye kiti cha enzi cha Yahweh kama mfalme baada ya Daudi baba yake. Alifanikiwa, na Israeli yote ikamtii.
24 And all the princes, and the mighty men, and all the sons likewise of king David, submitted themselves to Solomon the king.
Viongozi wote, wanajeshi, na Mfalme Daudi wanae wakaonyesha utii kwa Mfalme Sulemani.
25 And the LORD magnified Solomon exceedingly in the sight of all Israel, and bestowed upon him such royal majesty as had not been on any king before him in Israel.
Yahweh alimheshimu sana Sulemani na kumkirimia nguvu kubwa kuliko mfalme yeyote aliyetangulia kabla yake Israeli.
26 Thus David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel.
Daudi mwana wa Yese alitawala Israeli yote.
27 And the time that he reigned over Israel was forty years; seven years he reigned in Hebron, and thirty and three years he reigned in Jerusalem.
Daudi alikuwa mfalme wa Israeli kwa miaka arobaini. Alitawala kwa miaka saba Hebroni na miaka thelathini na tatu Yerusalemu.
28 And he died in a good old age, full of days, riches, and honour: and Solomon his son reigned in his stead.
Alikufa katika umri mzuri mkubwa, baada ya kufurahia maisha marefu, utajiri na heshima. Sulemani mwanae alitawala baada yake.
29 Now the acts of David the king, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of Samuel the seer, and in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the book of Gad the seer,
Mafanikio ya mfalme Daudi yameandikwa katika historia ya Samweli nabii, katika historia ya Nathani nabii, na katika historia ya Gadi nabii.
30 With all his reign and his might, and the times that went over him, and over Israel, and over all the kingdoms of the countries.
Yalio ekwa kwenye kumbukumbu ni matendo ya utawala wake, mafanikio yake na mambo yalio mdhuru, Israeli, na falme zote za nchi zingine.
