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。”

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.”

Solomon Instructed to Build the Temple

28 Now David assembled at Jerusalem all (A)the leaders of Israel: the officers of the tribes and (B)the captains of the divisions who served the king, the captains over thousands and captains over hundreds, and (C)the stewards over all the substance and [a]possessions of the king and of his sons, with the officials, the valiant men, and all (D)the mighty men of valor.

Then King David rose to his feet and said, “Hear me, my brethren and my people: (E)I had it in my heart to build a house of rest for the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and for (F)the footstool of our God, and had made preparations to build it. But God said to me, (G)‘You shall not build a house for My name, because you have been a man of war and have shed (H)blood.’ However the Lord God of Israel (I)chose me above all the house of my father to be king over Israel forever, for He has chosen (J)Judah to be the ruler. And of the house of Judah, (K)the house of my father, and (L)among the sons of my father, He was pleased with me to make me king over all Israel. (M)And of all my sons (for the Lord has given me many sons) (N)He has chosen my son Solomon to sit on the throne of the kingdom of the Lord over Israel. Now He said to me, ‘It is (O)your son Solomon who 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 forever, (P)if he is steadfast to observe My commandments and My judgments, as it is this day.’ Now therefore, in the sight of all Israel, the assembly of the Lord, and in the hearing of our God, be careful to seek out all the commandments of the Lord your God, that you may possess this good land, and leave it as an inheritance for your children after you forever.

“As for you, my son Solomon, (Q)know the God of your father, and serve Him (R)with a loyal heart and with a willing mind; for (S)the Lord searches all hearts and understands all the intent of the thoughts. (T)If you seek Him, He will be found by you; but if you forsake Him, He will (U)cast you off forever. 10 Consider now, (V)for the Lord has chosen you to build a house for the sanctuary; be strong, and do it.”

11 Then David gave his son Solomon (W)the plans for the vestibule, its houses, its treasuries, its upper chambers, its inner chambers, and the place of the mercy seat; 12 and the (X)plans for all that he had by the Spirit, of the courts of the house of the Lord, of all the chambers all around, (Y)of the treasuries of the house of God, and of the treasuries for the dedicated things; 13 also for the division of the priests and the (Z)Levites, for all the work of the service of the house of the Lord, and for all the articles of service in the house of the Lord. 14 He gave gold by weight for things of gold, for all articles used in every kind of service; also silver for all articles of silver by weight, for all articles used in every kind of service; 15 the weight for the (AA)lampstands of gold, and their lamps of gold, by weight for each lampstand and its lamps; for the lampstands of silver by weight, for the lampstand and its lamps, according to the use of each lampstand. 16 And by weight he gave gold for the tables of the showbread, for each (AB)table, and silver for the tables of silver; 17 also pure gold for the forks, the basins, the pitchers of pure gold, and the golden bowls—he gave gold by weight for every bowl; and for the silver bowls, silver by weight for every bowl; 18 and refined gold by weight for the (AC)altar of incense, and for the construction of the chariot, that is, the gold (AD)cherubim that spread their wings and overshadowed the ark of the covenant of the Lord. 19 “All this,said David, (AE)“the Lord made me understand in writing, by His hand upon me, all the [b]works of these plans.”

20 And David said to his son Solomon, (AF)“Be strong and of good courage, and do it; do not fear nor be dismayed, for the Lord God—my God—will be with you. (AG)He will not leave you nor forsake you, until you have finished all the work for the service of the house of the Lord. 21 Here are (AH)the divisions of the priests and the Levites for all the service of the house of God; and (AI)every willing craftsman will be with you for all manner of workmanship, for every kind of service; also the leaders and all the people will be completely at your command.”

David Commissions Solomon to Build the Temple

28 David assembled in Jerusalem all the officials of Israel, including the commanders of the tribes, the commanders of the army divisions that served the king, the commanders of units of a thousand and a hundred, the officials who were in charge of all the property and livestock of the king and his sons, the eunuchs, and the warriors, including the most skilled of them.

King David rose to his feet and said: “Listen to me, my brothers and my people. I wanted to build a temple where the ark of the Lord’s covenant could be placed as a footstool for our God.[a] I have made the preparations for building it. But God said to me, ‘You must not build a temple to honor me,[b] for you are a warrior and have spilled blood.’ The Lord God of Israel chose me out of my father’s entire family to become king over Israel and have a permanent dynasty.[c] Indeed,[d] he chose Judah as leader, and my father’s family within Judah, and then he picked me out from among my father’s sons and made me king over all Israel.[e] From all the many sons the Lord has given me, he chose Solomon my son to rule on his behalf over Israel.[f] He said to me, ‘Solomon your son is the one who will build my temple and my courts, for I have chosen him to become my son and I will become his father. I will establish his kingdom permanently, if he remains committed to obeying my commands and regulations, as you are doing this day.’[g] So now, in the sight of all Israel, the Lord’s assembly, and in the hearing of our God, I say this:[h] Carefully observe[i] all the commands of the Lord your God, so that you may possess this good land and may leave it as a permanent inheritance for your children after you.

“And you, Solomon my son, obey[j] the God of your father and serve him with a submissive attitude and a willing spirit,[k] for the Lord examines all minds and understands every motive of one’s thoughts. If you seek him, he will let you find him,[l] but if you abandon him, he will reject you permanently. 10 Realize[m] now that the Lord has chosen you to build a temple as his sanctuary. Be strong and do it!”

11 David gave to his son Solomon the blueprints for the temple porch,[n] its buildings, its treasuries,[o] its upper areas, its inner rooms, and the room[p] for atonement. 12 He gave him[q] the blueprints of all he envisioned[r] for the courts of the Lord’s temple, all the surrounding rooms, the storehouses of God’s temple, and the storehouses for the holy items.

13 He gave him the regulations[s] for the divisions of priests and Levites, for all the assigned responsibilities within the Lord’s temple, and for all the items used in the service of the Lord’s temple.

14 He gave him[t] the prescribed weight for all the gold items to be used in various types of service in the Lord’s temple, for all the silver items to be used in various types of service,[u] 15 for the gold lampstands and their gold lamps, including the weight of each lampstand and its lamps, for the silver lampstands, including the weight of each lampstand and its lamps, according to the prescribed use of each lampstand, 16 for the gold used in the display tables, including the amount to be used in each table, for the silver to be used in the silver tables, 17 for the pure gold used for the meat forks, bowls, and jars, for the small gold bowls, including the weight for each bowl, for the small silver bowls, including the weight for each bowl, 18 and for the refined gold of the incense altar.

He gave him[v] the blueprint for the seat[w] of the gold cherubim that spread their wings[x] and provide shelter for the ark of the Lord’s covenant.

19 David said,[y] “All this I put in writing as the Lord directed me and gave me insight regarding the details of the blueprints.”[z]

20 David said to his son Solomon: “Be strong and brave! Do it! Don’t be afraid and don’t panic![aa] For the Lord God, my God, is with you. He will not leave you or abandon you before all the work for the service of the Lord’s temple is finished. 21 Here are the divisions of the priests and Levites who will perform all the service of God’s temple. All the willing and skilled men are ready to assist you in all the work and perform their service.[ab] The officials and all the people are ready to follow your instructions.”[ac]
