Preparation to Build Yahweh’s House

22 Then David said, “(A)This is the house of Yahweh God, and this is the altar of burnt offering for Israel.”

So David said to gather (B)the sojourners who were in the land of Israel, and (C)he [a]appointed [b]stonecutters to hew out stones to build the house of God. And David (D)prepared large quantities of iron [c]to make the nails for the doors of the gates and for the clamps, and more (E)bronze than could be weighed; and timbers of cedar logs beyond number, for (F)the Sidonians and Tyrians brought large quantities of cedar timber to David. And David said, “My son (G)Solomon is young and inexperienced, and the house that is to be built for Yahweh shall be highly exalted, for a name and beauty throughout all lands. Therefore now I will make preparation for it.” So David made ample preparations before his death.

Solomon to Build Yahweh’s House

Then (H)he called for his son Solomon, and commanded him to build a house for Yahweh, the God of Israel. And David said to Solomon, “(I)My son, [d]I had it within my heart to build a house to the name of Yahweh my God. But the word of Yahweh came to me, saying, ‘(J)You have shed much blood and have [e]waged great wars; you shall not build a house for My name, because you have shed so much blood on the earth before Me. Behold, a son will be born to you, who shall be a man of rest; and (K)I will give him rest from all his enemies on every side; for (L)his name shall be [f]Solomon, and I will give peace and quiet to Israel in his days. 10 (M)He shall build a house for My name, and he shall be a son to Me and I will be a father to him; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever.’ 11 Now, my son, (N)Yahweh be with you that you may be successful, and build the house of Yahweh your God just as He has spoken concerning you. 12 (O)Only Yahweh give you insight and understanding, and give you command over Israel, so that you may (P)keep the law of Yahweh your God. 13 (Q)Then you will succeed, if you are careful to do the statutes and the judgments which Yahweh commanded Moses concerning Israel. (R)Be strong and courageous, do not fear nor be dismayed. 14 Now behold, [g]with great pains I have prepared for the house of Yahweh (S)100,000 [h]talents of gold and 1,000,000 talents of silver, and (T)bronze and iron beyond weight, for [i]they are in great quantity; also timber and stone I have prepared, and you may add to them. 15 Moreover, there are many of those who do the work with you, hewers of stone and craftsmen of stone and wood, and all men who are [j]wise in every kind of work. 16 Of the gold, the silver and the bronze and the iron there is no number. Arise and work, and may (U)Yahweh be with you.”

17 (V)David also commanded all the officials of Israel to help his son Solomon, saying, 18 “Is not Yahweh your God with you? And (W)has He not given you rest on every side? For He has given the inhabitants of the land into my hand, and the land is subdued before Yahweh and before His people. 19 Now (X)give your heart and your soul to seek Yahweh your God; arise, therefore, and build the sanctuary of Yahweh God, (Y)so that you may bring the ark of the covenant of Yahweh and the holy vessels of God into the house that is to be built (Z)for the name of Yahweh.”

22 Then David said, “The house of the Lord God(A) is to be here, and also the altar of burnt offering for Israel.”

Preparations for the Temple

So David gave orders to assemble the foreigners(B) residing in Israel, and from among them he appointed stonecutters(C) to prepare dressed stone for building the house of God. He provided a large amount of iron to make nails for the doors of the gateways and for the fittings, and more bronze than could be weighed.(D) He also provided more cedar logs(E) than could be counted, for the Sidonians and Tyrians had brought large numbers of them to David.

David said, “My son Solomon is young(F) and inexperienced, and the house to be built for the Lord should be of great magnificence and fame and splendor(G) in the sight of all the nations. Therefore I will make preparations for it.” So David made extensive preparations before his death.

Then he called for his son Solomon and charged him to build(H) a house for the Lord, the God of Israel. David said to Solomon: “My son, I had it in my heart(I) to build(J) a house for the Name(K) of the Lord my God. But this word of the Lord came to me: ‘You have shed much blood and have fought many wars.(L) You are not to build a house for my Name,(M) because you have shed much blood on the earth in my sight. But you will have a son who will be a man of peace(N) and rest,(O) and I will give him rest from all his enemies on every side. His name will be Solomon,[a](P) and I will grant Israel peace and quiet(Q) during his reign. 10 He is the one who will build a house for my Name.(R) He will be my son,(S) and I will be his father. And I will establish(T) the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever.’(U)

11 “Now, my son, the Lord be with(V) you, and may you have success and build the house of the Lord your God, as he said you would. 12 May the Lord give you discretion and understanding(W) when he puts you in command over Israel, so that you may keep the law of the Lord your God. 13 Then you will have success(X) if you are careful to observe the decrees and laws(Y) that the Lord gave Moses for Israel. Be strong and courageous.(Z) Do not be afraid or discouraged.

14 “I have taken great pains to provide for the temple of the Lord a hundred thousand talents[b] of gold, a million talents[c] of silver, quantities of bronze and iron too great to be weighed, and wood and stone. And you may add to them.(AA) 15 You have many workers: stonecutters, masons and carpenters,(AB) as well as those skilled in every kind of work 16 in gold and silver, bronze and iron—craftsmen(AC) beyond number. Now begin the work, and the Lord be with you.”

17 Then David ordered(AD) all the leaders of Israel to help his son Solomon. 18 He said to them, “Is not the Lord your God with you? And has he not granted you rest(AE) on every side?(AF) For he has given the inhabitants of the land into my hands, and the land is subject to the Lord and to his people. 19 Now devote your heart and soul to seeking the Lord your God.(AG) Begin to build the sanctuary of the Lord God, so that you may bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord and the sacred articles belonging to God into the temple that will be built for the Name of the Lord.”

Ang Habilin ni David kay Solomon

22 Pagkatapos ay sinabi ni David, “Dito itatayo ang bahay ng Panginoong Diyos, at dito ang dambana ng handog na sinusunog para sa Israel.”

Iniutos ni David na tipunin ang mga dayuhang nasa lupain ng Israel at siya'y naglagay ng mga kantero upang magtapyas ng bato para sa pagtatayo ng bahay ng Diyos.

Naglaan din si David ng napakaraming bakal bilang pako sa mga pinto ng mga tarangkahan at sa mga dugtungan, at ng tanso na hindi na matimbang sa dami,

at ng mga troso ng sedro na di mabilang, sapagkat ang mga Sidonio at ang mga taga-Tiro ay nagdala kay David ng napakaraming puno ng sedro.

Sapagkat sinabi ni David, “Si Solomon na aking anak ay bata pa at wala pang karanasan, at ang bahay na itatayo para sa Panginoon ay kailangang maging kahanga-hanga, bantog at maluwalhati sa buong lupain. Ako'y maghahanda para doon.” Kaya't naghanda si David ng maraming kagamitan bago sumapit ang kanyang kamatayan.

Pagkatapos ay ipinatawag niya si Solomon na kanyang anak, at inatasan niyang magtayo ng isang bahay para sa Panginoon, ang Diyos ng Israel.

Sinabi(A) ni David kay Solomon na kanyang anak, “Sa ganang akin, nasa aking puso ang magtayo ng isang bahay para sa pangalan ng Panginoon kong Diyos.

Ngunit ang salita ng Panginoon ay dumating sa akin na sinasabi, ‘Ikaw ay nagpadanak ng maraming dugo at nagsagawa ng malalaking pakikidigma. Hindi ka magtatayo ng bahay para sa aking pangalan sapagkat ikaw ay nagpadanak ng maraming dugo sa lupa sa aking paningin.

Narito, ipapanganak para sa iyo ang isang lalaki; siya ay magiging isang mapayapang tao. Bibigyan ko siya ng kapayapaan sa lahat ng kanyang mga kaaway sa palibot, sapagkat ang kanyang magiging pangalan ay Solomon,[a] at bibigyan ko ng kapayapaan[b] at katahimikan ang Israel sa kanyang mga araw.

10 Siya ay magtatayo ng bahay para sa aking pangalan. Siya'y magiging aking anak, at ako'y magiging kanyang ama; at itatatag ko ang trono ng kanyang kaharian sa Israel magpakailanman.’

11 Ngayon, anak ko, sumaiyo ang Panginoon, upang magtagumpay ka sa iyong pagtatayo ng bahay ng Panginoon mong Diyos, gaya ng kanyang sinabi tungkol sa iyo.

12 Pagkalooban ka lamang ng Panginoon ng dunong at pang-unawa, upang kapag ipinagkatiwala na niya sa iyo ang Israel ay matupad mo ang kautusan ng Panginoon mong Diyos.

13 Kung(B) magkagayo'y magtatagumpay ka kung maingat mong susundin ang mga tuntunin at ang mga batas na ipinag-utos ng Panginoon kay Moises para sa Israel. Magpakalakas ka at magpakatapang; huwag kang matakot o manlupaypay man.

14 Pinagsikapan kong lubos na ipaghanda ang bahay ng Panginoon ng isandaang libong talentong ginto, isang milyong talentong pilak at ng tanso at bakal na hindi na matimbang sa dami. Naghanda rin ako ng kahoy at bato. Dagdagan mo pa ang mga ito.

15 Bukod dito'y may kasama kang maraming manggagawa: mga tagatapyas ng bato, mga kantero, mga karpintero, at napakaraming uri ng mga manggagawa na bihasa sa iba't ibang uri ng trabaho

16 sa ginto, sa pilak, sa tanso, at sa bakal, na hindi mabilang. Bumangon ka at gawin mo na. Sumaiyo nawa ang Panginoon.”

17 Iniutos din ni David sa lahat ng pinuno ng Israel na tulungan si Solomon na kanyang anak, na sinasabi,

18 “Hindi ba't ang Panginoon ninyong Diyos ay sumasainyo? Hindi ba't binigyan niya kayo ng kapahingahan sa lahat ng dako? Sapagkat kanyang ibinigay sa aking kamay ang mga naninirahan sa lupain; at ang lupain ay napasuko sa harap ng Panginoon at sa harap ng kanyang bayan.

19 Ngayo'y inyong ilagak ang inyong puso at pag-iisip upang hanapin ang Panginoon ninyong Diyos. Humayo kayo at itayo ninyo ang santuwaryo ng Panginoong Diyos, upang ang kaban ng tipan ng Panginoon at ang mga banal na kagamitan ng Diyos ay madala sa loob ng bahay na itatayo para sa pangalan ng Panginoon.”
