大卫宣告建殿的心意

28 大卫把以色列的众领袖:各支派的领袖、轮班服事王的领袖、千夫长、百夫长、掌管王和王子们一切财产与牲畜的领袖,以及太监、显贵和所有英勇的战士,都召集到耶路撒冷来。 大卫王站起来,说:“我的兄弟,我的人民哪,你们要听我的话;我心里有意要建造一所安放耶和华的约柜的殿宇,作我们的 神的脚凳,并且我已经准备好要建造。 可是 神对我说:‘你不可为我的名建造殿宇,因为你是个战士,曾杀人流血。’ 然而耶和华以色列的 神,在我父的全家拣选了我作以色列人的王,直到永远;因为他拣选了犹大作领袖;在犹大家中拣选了我的父家;在我父亲的众子中,他喜悦我,立我作全以色列的王; 在我的众子中(因为耶和华赐给我许多儿子),他拣选了我的儿子所罗门,坐耶和华的国位,统治以色列。 耶和华对我说:‘你的儿子所罗门要建造我的殿宇和庭院;因为我已经拣选他作我的儿子,我也要作他的父亲。 如果他坚心遵行我的诫命和典章,像今日一样,我必坚立他的国,直到永远。’ 所以现今在耶和华的会众,全体以色列人面前,我们的 神也在垂听,你们务要谨守和寻求耶和华你们 神的一切诫命,使你们可以承受那美地,并且遗留给你们以后的子孙,永远作为产业。

“至于你,我儿所罗门哪,你要认识耶和华你父亲的 神,一心乐意事奉他,因为耶和华鉴察万人的心,知道人的一切心思意念。你若是寻求他,就必寻见;你若是离弃他,他必永远丢弃你。 10 现在你当谨慎,因为耶和华拣选了你建造殿宇,作为圣所;你要勇敢地去作。”

大卫指示所罗门圣殿的设计

11 大卫把殿的走廊、房屋、库房、阁楼、内殿和安放施恩座的圣所的图样,都交给他的儿子所罗门; 12 又把他心中所想的图样,就是耶和华殿的院子、四周所有的房屋、神殿里的库房和圣物库房的图样,都指示了他; 13 又把祭司和利未人的班次,耶和华殿里各样的职事和耶和华殿里一切需用的器皿,都指示了他; 14 大卫又指示了他用多少金子做各样需用的金器;用多少银子做各样需用的银器; 15 用多少金子做金灯台和台上的金灯;用多少金子做每盏金灯台和台上的金灯;用多少银子做银灯台和台上的银灯。每盏银灯台和台上的银灯用多少银子,都按照每盏灯台的用途; 16 用多少金子做陈设饼的桌子;用多少银子做银桌子; 17 用多少纯金做叉、盘和壶;用多少金子做金碗,每只碗重量多少;用多少银子做银碗,每只碗重量多少; 18 用多少精金做香坛;又用金子做基路伯,像车的样子;基路伯展开翅膀,遮盖着耶和华的约柜。 19 大卫说:“以上这一切,就是一切工作的样式,都是耶和华用手写给我,使我明白的。”

继续训勉所罗门

20 大卫又对他的儿子所罗门说:“你要坚强勇敢地去作,不要惧怕,也不要惊惶,因为耶和华 神,就是我的 神,与你同在;他必不撇下你,也不丢弃你,直到耶和华殿的一切工作都完成。 21 你看,有祭司和利未人的各班次,办理神殿里的一切事务;又有各种的巧匠,在各样的工作上,乐意帮助你,并且众领袖和所有的人民,都听从你的一切命令。”

David brings all his officers together[a]

28 David told all Israel's officers to come and meet with him in Jerusalem. They included:

The officers who had authority over Israel's tribes.

The leaders of the army groups that served the king.

The army officers who led groups of 1,000 soldiers or 100 soldiers.

The officers who had authority for the king's valuable things and animals.

The officers who had authority for the animals and things that belonged to the king's sons.

The officers in the king's palace.

The brave army officers and soldiers.

King David stood up and he said, ‘Listen to me, my people. I wanted to build a house where we could put the Lord's Covenant Box. It would be like a place for our God to rest his feet. I prepared the things that I would need to build a temple. But God said to me, “You are a fighter and you have killed many people in war. So you must not build a house to give honour to my name.” 

But it was the Lord, Israel's God, who chose me to become Israel's king. He chose my family to rule Israel for all time. First, he chose the tribe of Judah to be the leader of Israel's people. Then he chose my father's family from among the clans of Judah. Finally, he chose me from among my father's sons. He made me king to rule over all Israel. The Lord has given me many sons. Now he has chosen my son Solomon from among them to rule over his kingdom, Israel. The Lord said to me, “Your son Solomon will build my temple and the yards around it. I have chosen him to become my son. And I will become his father. He must always continue to obey my commands and my laws, as he now does. If he is careful to do that, I will make his kingdom strong for all time.”

I am telling you this now, while we meet together as the Lord's people. All Israel's people, as well as our God, know what I have said. You must be careful to obey all the commands of the Lord your God. Then this good land will continue to be your home. And after you die it will belong to your descendants for ever.

As for you, Solomon, my son, keep near to your father's God. Be happy to serve him faithfully in every way. The Lord knows what you are thinking. He understands all your thoughts. If you turn to him, you will find him. But if you turn away from him, he will leave you alone for ever. 10 You must realize that the Lord has chosen you to build a temple to be his special home. Now you must be strong! Do this work.’

Solomon learns how to build the temple

11 Then David gave his son Solomon the plans for the temple buildings. That included the entrance room, the rooms to store things, the upstairs rooms and the inside rooms. And it included the Most Holy Place where the Covenant Box would be. 12 David showed Solomon the ideas that God had put in his mind. He gave him the plans for the yards around the Lord's temple and the rooms around the yards. There were also plans of the rooms to store the valuable things and the gifts that people had offered to God.

13 David gave Solomon the rules for the work of the priests and Levites. He gave him a list of the different kinds of work that each group must do in the Lord's temple. He also gave him a list of the special things that were used to serve the Lord in the temple.

14 He told Solomon the weight of gold and the weight of silver that he must use to make some of those special things. 15 That included the weight of gold for the lampstands and for their lamps. It also included the weight of silver for the silver lampstands and for their lamps. Each lampstand was different because they would use it for a different purpose. 16 It included the weight of gold to make the special table where the priests would put the special bread. And it included the weight of silver to make the silver tables. 17 It also included the weight of pure gold to make the forks, dishes, cups and small bowls. Each gold bowl had its own weight. There was also the weight of silver for each of the silver bowls. 18 And there was the weight of pure gold for the altar to burn incense.

David also gave Solomon the plan for the gold images of cherubs for the Lord's Covenant Box. They would have wings that touched each other above the lid of the Covenant Box. They would be like a chariot for the Lord.

19 David said, ‘I have written down everything about these things, as the Lord told me to do. He helped me to understand how these plans would work.’

20 David said to his son Solomon, ‘Be strong and brave to do this work. The Lord God, my God, is with you to help you. He will not leave you alone. So do not be afraid. He will stay with you until you have finished all the work to build his temple.

21 Look! Here are the groups of priests and Levites who are ready to serve the Lord in the temple. The men with special skills are ready to help you with the work. The officers and all the people are ready to do what you tell them to do.’

Footnotes

  1. 28:1 All this happened in the last year of David's rule. It was about 970 BC.

28 And David assembled all the princes of Israel, the princes of the tribes, and the captains of the companies that ministered to the king by course, and the captains over the thousands, and captains over the hundreds, and the stewards over all the substance and possession of the king, and of his sons, with the officers, and with the mighty men, and with all the valiant men, unto Jerusalem.

Then David the king stood up upon his feet, and said, Hear me, my brethren, and my people: As for me, I had in mine heart to build an house of rest for the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and for the footstool of our God, and had made ready for the building:

But God said unto me, Thou shalt not build an house for my name, because thou hast been a man of war, and hast shed blood.

Howbeit the Lord God of Israel chose me before all the house of my father to be king over Israel for ever: for he hath chosen Judah to be the ruler; and of the house of Judah, the house of my father; and among the sons of my father he liked me to make me king over all Israel:

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.

And he said unto me, Solomon thy son, he shall build my house and my courts: for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be his father.

Moreover I will establish his kingdom for ever, if he be constant to do my commandments and my judgments, as at this day.

Now therefore in the sight of all Israel the congregation of the Lord, and in the audience of our God, keep and seek for all the commandments of the Lord your God: that ye may possess this good land, and leave it for an inheritance for your children after you for ever.

And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect 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.

10 Take heed now; for the Lord hath chosen thee to build an house for the sanctuary: be strong, and do it.

11 Then David gave to Solomon his son the pattern of the porch, and of the houses thereof, and of the treasuries thereof, and of the upper chambers thereof, and of the inner parlours thereof, and of the place of the mercy seat,

12 And the pattern of all that he had by the spirit, of the courts of the house of the Lord, and of all the chambers round about, of the treasuries of the house of God, and of the treasuries of the dedicated things:

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.

14 He gave of gold by weight for things of gold, for all instruments of all manner of service; silver also for all instruments of silver by weight, for all instruments of every kind of service:

15 Even the weight for the candlesticks of gold, and for their lamps of gold, by weight for every candlestick, and for the lamps thereof: and for the candlesticks of silver by weight, both for the candlestick, and also for the lamps thereof, according to the use of every candlestick.

16 And by weight he gave gold for the tables of shewbread, for every table; and likewise silver for the tables of silver:

17 Also pure gold for the fleshhooks, and the bowls, and the cups: and for the golden basons he gave gold by weight for every bason; and likewise silver by weight for every bason of silver:

18 And for the altar of incense refined gold by weight; and gold for the pattern of the chariot of the cherubims, that spread out their wings, and covered the ark of the covenant of the Lord.

19 All this, said David, the Lord made me understand in writing by his hand upon me, even all the works of this pattern.

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, will be with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee, until thou hast finished all the work for the service of the house of the Lord.

21 And, behold, the courses of the priests and the Levites, even they shall be with thee for all the service of the house of God: and there shall be with thee for all manner of workmanship every willing skilful man, for any manner of service: also the princes and all the people will be wholly at thy commandment.

Enteekateeka ya Dawudi ku bikwata ku Yeekaalu

28 (A)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.

(B)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. (C)Naye Katonda n’aŋŋamba nti, ‘Tolinzimbira linnya lyange nnyumba, kubanga oli mutabaazi wa ntalo era wayiwa omusaayi.’

(D)“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. (E)Mu batabani bange bonna, kubanga Mukama ampadde bangi, Sulemaani mutabani wange gw’alonze okutuula ku ntebe ey’obwakabaka bwa Mukama mu Isirayiri. (F)Yaŋŋamba nti, ‘Sulemaani mutabani wo y’alizimba ennyumba yange n’empya zange, kubanga mmulonze okuba omwana wange, era nange n’abeeranga kitaawe. (G)Ndinyweza obwakabaka bwe emirembe gyonna, bwatalirekayo okugondera ebiragiro byange n’amateeka gange nga bwe bigobelerwa mu nnaku zino.’

(H)“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.

(I)“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 Kaakano weekuume, kubanga Mukama akulonze okuzimba ennyumba ey’okusinzizangamu. Ba n’amaanyi, okole omulimu.”

11 (J)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 (K)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 (L)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 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 (M)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 (N)n’ebipimo ebya zaabu eby’emmeeza ez’emigaati emitukuze egy’okulaga, n’ebipimo ebya ffeeza eby’emmeeza eza ffeeza; 17 (O)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 (P)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 (Q)Awo Dawudi n’ayogera nti, “Ebyo byonna biri mu buwandiike, kubanga omukono gwa Mukama gwali wamu nange, era yampa okukitegeerera ddala.”

20 (R)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 (S)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.”
