1 Furthermore David the king said unto 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.
Kisha mfalme Daudi akawaambia kusanyiko lote, Sulemani mwanangu, ambaye Mungu amemchagua peke yake, akali ni mchanga bado na mwororo, nayo kazi hii ni kubwa; kwani nyumba hii ya enzi si kwa mwanadamu, ila kwa Bwana, 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, glistering stones, and of divers colours, and all manner of precious stones, and marble stones in abundance.
Basi kwa uwezo wangu wote nimeiwekea akiba nyumba ya Mungu wangu, dhahabu kwa vitu vya dhahabu, na fedha kwa vitu vya fedha, na shaba kwa vitu vya shaba, na chuma kwa vitu vya chuma, na miti kwa vitu vya miti; vito vya shohamu, na vya kujazia, vito vya njumu, na vya rangi mbalimbali, na mawe ya thamani ya kila namna, na marimari tele.
3 Moreover, because I have set my affection to the house of my God, I have of mine own proper good, 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,
Nami tena kwa kuwa nimeiwekea nyumba ya Mungu wangu shauku yangu, nami ninayo hazina yangu mwenyewe ya dhahabu na fedha, naitoa kwa ajili ya nyumba ya Mungu wangu, zaidi ya hiyo akiba niliyoiwekea tayari nyumba 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 withal:
yaani, talanta elfu tatu za dhahabu, za dhahabu ya Ofiri, na talanta elfu saba za fedha iliyosafika, ya kuzifunikiza kuta za nyumba;
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 artificers. And who then is willing to consecrate his service this day unto the LORD?
ya dhahabu, kwa vitu vya dhahabu, na ya fedha kwa vitu vya fedha, na kwa kazi za kila namna zitakazofanywa kwa mikono ya mafundi. Ni nani basi ajitoaye kwa moyo ili ajiweke wakfu leo kwa Bwana?
6 Then the chief of the fathers and princes of the tribes of Israel, and the captains of thousands and of hundreds, with the rulers of the king's work, offered willingly,
Ndipo wakuu wa mbari za mababa, na wakuu wa kabila za Israeli, na maakida wa maelfu na wa mamia, pamoja na wasimamizi wa kazi ya mfalme, wakajitoa kwa hiari yao;
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.
nao wakatoa, kwa ajili ya utumishi wa nyumba ya Mungu, dhahabu talanta elfu tano, na darkoni elfu kumi, na fedha taranta elfu kumi, na shaba taranta elfu kumi na nane, na chuma taranta elfu mia.
8 And they with whom precious stones were found gave them to the treasure of the house of the LORD, by the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite.
Na wale walioonekana kuwa na vito vya thamani wakavitoa vitiwe katika hazina ya nyumba ya Bwana, chini ya mkono wa Yehieli, Mgershoni.
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.
Ndipo hao watu wakafurahi, kwa sababu wametoa kwa hiari yao wenyewe, kwa sababu kwa ukamilifu wa moyo, kwa hiari yao wenyewe, wamemtolea Bwana; mfalme Daudi naye akafurahi kwa furaha kuu.
Gives Thanks to God
10 Wherefore David blessed the LORD before all the congregation: and David said, Blessed be thou, LORD God of Israel our father, for ever and ever.
Kwa hiyo Daudi akamhimidi Bwana, mbele ya mkutano wote; naye Daudi akasema, Uhimidiwe, Ee Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli baba yetu, 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 in the earth is thine ; thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all.
Ee Bwana, ukuu ni wako, na uweza, na utukufu, na kushinda, na enzi; maana vitu vyote vilivyo mbinguni na duniani ni vyako; ufalme ni wako, Ee Bwana, nawe umetukuzwa, u mkuu juu ya vitu vyote.
12 Both riches and honour come of thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thine hand is power and might; and in thine hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all.
Utajiri na heshima hutoka kwako wewe, nawe watawala juu ya vyote; na mkononi mwako mna uweza na nguvu; tena mkononi mwako mna kuwatukuza na kuwawezesha wote.
13 Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise thy glorious name.
Basi sasa, Mungu wetu, twakushukuru na kulisifu 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 of thee, and of thine own have we given thee.
Lakini mimi ni nani, na watu wangu ni nani, hata tuweze kutoa kwa hiari hivi? Kwani vitu vyote vyatoka kwako na katika vitu vyako mwenyewe tumekutolea.
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 none abiding.
Kwani sisi tu wageni mbele zako, na wasafiri, kama walivyokuwa baba zetu wote; ni kama kivuli siku zetu duniani, wala taraji ya kukaa hapana.
16 O LORD our God, all this store that we have prepared to build thee an house for thine holy name cometh of thine hand, and is all thine own.
Ee Bwana, Mungu wetu, akiba hii yote tuliyoiweka, ili tukujengee nyumba kwa ajili ya jina lako takatifu, yatoka yote mkononi mwako, na yote ni yako wewe.
17 I know also, my God, that thou triest the heart, and hast pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of mine heart I have willingly offered all these things: and now have I seen with joy thy people, which are present here, to offer willingly unto thee.
Nami najua, Mungu wangu, ya kuwa wewe wajaribu moyo, nawe wapendezwa na unyofu. Nami katika unyofu wa moyo wangu nimeyatoa haya yote kwa hiari yangu mwenyewe; nami sasa nimeona kwa furaha watu wako, waliopo hapa, wakikutolea kwa hiari yao.
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 unto thee:
Ee Bwana, Mungu wa Ibrahimu, na wa Isaka, na wa Israeli, baba zetu, ulilinde jambo hili milele katika fikira za mawazo ya mioyo ya watu wako, ukaiongoze mioyo yao kwako;
19 and give unto 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 the which I have made provision.
naye Sulemani mwanangu, umpe moyo mkamilifu, ili azishike amri zako, na shuhuda zako, na maagizo yako, akayatende hayo yote na kuijenga nyumba hii ya enzi, niliyoiwekea akiba.
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 down their heads, and worshipped the LORD, and the king.
Ndipo Daudi akawaambia kusanyiko lote, Haya, mhimidini Bwana, Mungu wenu. Basi kusanyiko lote wakamhimidi Bwana, Mungu wa baba zao, wakainama vichwa vyao, wakamsujudia Bwana, na mfalme naye.
21 And they sacrificed sacrifices unto the LORD, and offered burnt offerings unto the LORD, on the morrow after that day, even a thousand bullocks, a thousand rams, and a thousand lambs, with their drink offerings, and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel:
Wakamtolea Bwana dhabihu, wakamchinjia Bwana sadaka za kuteketezwa, siku ya pili yake, yaani, ng'ombe elfu, na kondoo waume elfu, na wana-kondoo elfu, pamoja na sadaka zao za vinywaji, na dhabihu nyingi kwa ajili ya Israeli wote;
22 and did eat and drink before the LORD on that day with great gladness.
And they made Solomon the son of David king the second time, and anointed him unto the LORD to be the chief governor, and Zadok to be priest.
wakala na kunywa mbele za Bwana siku ile, kwa furaha kuu. Wakamtawaza Sulemani, mwana wa Daudi, mara ya pili, wakamtia mafuta mbele za Bwana, awe mkuu, na Sadoki awe kuhani.
23 Then Solomon sat on the throne of the LORD as king instead of David his father, and prospered; and all Israel obeyed him.
Ndipo Sulemani akaketi katika kiti cha enzi cha Bwana, awe mfalme badala ya Daudi babaye, akafanikiwa; nao Israeli wote wakamtii.
24 And all the princes, and the mighty men, and all the sons likewise of king David, submitted themselves unto Solomon the king.
Nao wakuu wote, na mashujaa, na wana wote wa mfalme Daudi nao, wakajitia chini ya 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.
Naye Bwana akamtukuza Sulemani mno machoni pa Israeli wote, akampa fahari ya kifalme ya kumpita mfalme awaye yote aliyekuwa kabla yake katika Israeli.
26 Thus David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel.
Basi Daudi, mwana wa Yese, akawa mfalme juu ya Israeli wote.
27 And the time that he reigned over Israel was forty years; seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three years reigned he in Jerusalem.
Na wakati aliotawala juu ya Israeli, ulikuwa miaka arobaini; miaka saba alitawala Hebroni, na miaka thelathini na mitatu akatawala Yerusalemu.
28 And he died in a good old age, full of days, riches, and honour: and Solomon his son reigned in his stead.
Akafa mwenye umri mwema, ameshiba siku, na mali, na heshima; naye Sulemani mwanawe akamiliki badala 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,
Basi habari za mfalme Daudi, mwanzo na mwisho, angalia, zimeandikwa katika tarehe ya Samweli, mwonaji, na katika tarehe ya Nathani, nabii, na katika tarehe ya Gadi, mwonaji;
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.
pamoja na kutawala kwake kote na nguvu zake, nazo zamani zilizompata yeye, na Israeli, na falme zote za nchi.
