1 Chronicles 22
New Living Translation
22 Then David said, “This will be the location for the Temple of the Lord God and the place of the altar for Israel’s burnt offerings!”
Preparations for the Temple
2 So David gave orders to call together the foreigners living in Israel, and he assigned them the task of preparing finished stone for building the Temple of God. 3 David provided large amounts of iron for the nails that would be needed for the doors in the gates and for the clamps, and he gave more bronze than could be weighed. 4 He also provided innumerable cedar logs, for the men of Tyre and Sidon had brought vast amounts of cedar to David.
5 David said, “My son Solomon is still young and inexperienced. And since the Temple to be built for the Lord must be a magnificent structure, famous and glorious throughout the world, I will begin making preparations for it now.” So David collected vast amounts of building materials before his death.
6 Then David sent for his son Solomon and instructed him to build a Temple for the Lord, the God of Israel. 7 “My son, I wanted to build a Temple to honor the name of the Lord my God,” David told him. 8 “But the Lord said to me, ‘You have killed many men in the battles you have fought. And since you have shed so much blood in my sight, you will not be the one to build a Temple to honor my name. 9 But you will have a son who will be a man of peace. I will give him peace with his enemies in all the surrounding lands. His name will be Solomon,[a] and I will give peace and quiet to Israel during his reign. 10 He is the one who will build a Temple to honor my name. He will be my son, and I will be his father. And I will secure the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever.’
11 “Now, my son, may the Lord be with you and give you success as you follow his directions in building the Temple of the Lord your God. 12 And may the Lord give you wisdom and understanding, that you may obey the Law of the Lord your God as you rule over Israel. 13 For you will be successful if you carefully obey the decrees and regulations that the Lord gave to Israel through Moses. Be strong and courageous; do not be afraid or lose heart!
14 “I have worked hard to provide materials for building the Temple of the Lord—nearly 4,000 tons of gold, 40,000 tons of silver,[b] and so much iron and bronze that it cannot be weighed. I have also gathered timber and stone for the walls, though you may need to add more. 15 You have a large number of skilled stonemasons and carpenters and craftsmen of every kind. 16 You have expert goldsmiths and silversmiths and workers of bronze and iron. Now begin the work, and may the Lord be with you!”
17 Then David ordered all the leaders of Israel to assist Solomon in this project. 18 “The Lord your God is with you,” he declared. “He has given you peace with the surrounding nations. He has handed them over to me, and they are now subject to the Lord and his people. 19 Now seek the Lord your God with all your heart and soul. Build the sanctuary of the Lord God so that you can bring the Ark of the Lord’s Covenant and the holy vessels of God into the Temple built to honor the Lord’s name.”
1 Chronik 22
Luther Bibel 1545
22 Und David sprach: Hier soll das Haus Gottes des HERRN sein und dies ist der Altar zum Brandopfer Israels.
2 Und David ließ versammeln die Fremdlinge, die im Lande Israel waren, und bestellte Steinmetzen, Steine zu hauen, das Haus Gottes zu bauen.
3 Und David bereitet viel Eisen zu Nägeln an die Türen in den Toren und zu Klammern und so viel Erz, daß es nicht zu wägen war,
4 Auch Zedernholz ohne Zahl; denn die von Sidon und Tyrus brachten viel Zedernholz zu David.
5 Denn David gedachte: Mein Sohn Salomo ist jung und zart; das Haus aber, das dem HERRN soll gebaut werden, soll groß sein, daß sein Name und Ruhm erhoben werde in allen Landen; darum will ich Vorrat schaffen. Also schaffte David viel Vorrat vor seinem Tode.
6 Und er rief seinem Sohn Salomo und gebot ihm, zu bauen das Haus des HERRN, des Gottes Israels,
7 und sprach zu ihm: Mein Sohn, ich hatte es im Sinn, dem Namen des HERRN, meines Gottes, ein Haus zu bauen.
8 Aber das Wort des HERRN kam zu mir und sprach: Du hast viel Blut vergossen und große Kriege geführt; darum sollst du meinem Namen nicht ein Haus bauen, weil du so viel Blutes auf die Erde vergossen hast vor mir.
9 Siehe, der Sohn, der dir geboren soll werden, der wird ein Mann der Ruhe sein; denn ich will ihn ruhen lassen von all seinen Feinden umher; denn er soll Salomo heißen; denn ich will Frieden und Ruhe geben über Israel sein Leben lang.
10 Der soll meinem Namen ein Haus bauen. Er soll mein Sohn sein, und ich will sein Vater sein. Und ich will seinen königlichen Stuhl über Israel bestätigen ewiglich.
11 So wird nun, mein Sohn, der HERR mit dir sein und es wird dir gelingen, daß du dem HERRN, deinem Gott, ein Haus bauest, wie er von dir geredet hat.
12 Auch wird der HERR dir geben Klugheit und Verstand und wird dir Israel befehlen, daß du haltest das Gesetz des HERRN, deines Gottes.
13 Dann aber wirst du Glück haben, wenn du dich hältst, daß du tust nach den Geboten und Rechten, die der HERR dem Mose geboten hat an Israel. Sei getrost und unverzagt, fürchte dich nicht und zage nicht!
14 Siehe ich habe in meiner Mühsal geschafft zum Hause des HERRN hunderttausend Zentner Gold und tausendmal tausend Zentner Silber, dazu Erz und Eisen ohne Zahl; denn es ist zu viel. Auch Holz und Steine habe ich zugerichtet; des magst du noch mehr machen.
15 So hast du viel Arbeiter, Steinmetzen und Zimmerleute an Stein und Holz, und allerlei Meister in allerlei Arbeit,
16 an Gold, Silber, Erz und Eisen ohne Zahl. So mache dich auf und richte es aus; der HERR wird mit dir sein!
17 Und David gebot allen Obersten Israels, daß sie seinem Sohn Salomo hülfen.
18 "Ist nicht der HERR, euer Gott, mit euch und hat euch Ruhe gegeben umher? Denn er hat die Einwohner des Landes in meine Hand gegeben, und das Land ist unterworfen dem HERRN und seinem Volk.
19 So richtet nun euer Herz und eure Seele, den HERRN, euren Gott, zu suchen. Und macht euch auf und bauet Gott dem HERRN ein Heiligtum, daß man die Lade des Bundes des HERRN und die heiligen Gefäße Gottes in das Haus bringe, das dem Namen des HERRN gebaut soll werden."
1 Chronicles 22
King James Version
22 Then David said, This is the house of the Lord God, and this is the altar of the burnt offering for Israel.
2 And David commanded to gather together the strangers that were in the land of Israel; and he set masons to hew wrought stones to build the house of God.
3 And David prepared iron in abundance for the nails for the doors of the gates, and for the joinings; and brass in abundance without weight;
4 Also cedar trees in abundance: for the Zidonians and they of Tyre brought much cedar wood to David.
5 And David said, Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be builded for the Lord must be exceeding magnifical, of fame and of glory throughout all countries: I will therefore now make preparation for it. So David prepared abundantly before his death.
6 Then he called for Solomon his son, and charged him to build an house for the Lord God of Israel.
7 And David said to Solomon, My son, as for me, it was in my mind to build an house unto the name of the Lord my God:
8 But the word of the Lord came to me, saying, Thou hast shed blood abundantly, and hast made great wars: thou shalt not build an house unto my name, because thou hast shed much blood upon the earth in my sight.
9 Behold, a son shall be born to thee, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies round about: for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness unto Israel in his days.
10 He shall build an house for my name; and he shall be my son, and I will be his father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel for ever.
11 Now, my son, the Lord be with thee; and prosper thou, and build the house of the Lord thy God, as he hath said of thee.
12 Only the Lord give thee wisdom and understanding, and give thee charge concerning Israel, that thou mayest keep the law of the Lord thy God.
13 Then shalt thou prosper, if thou takest heed to fulfil the statutes and judgments which the Lord charged Moses with concerning Israel: be strong, and of good courage; dread not, nor be dismayed.
14 Now, behold, in my trouble I have prepared for the house of the Lord an hundred thousand talents of gold, and a thousand thousand talents of silver; and of brass and iron without weight; for it is in abundance: timber also and stone have I prepared; and thou mayest add thereto.
15 Moreover there are workmen with thee in abundance, hewers and workers of stone and timber, and all manner of cunning men for every manner of work.
16 Of the gold, the silver, and the brass, and the iron, there is no number. Arise therefore, and be doing, and the Lord be with thee.
17 David also commanded all the princes of Israel to help Solomon his son, saying,
18 Is not the Lord your God with you? and hath he not given you rest on every side? for he hath given the inhabitants of the land into mine hand; and the land is subdued before the Lord, and before his people.
19 Now set your heart and your soul to seek the Lord your God; arise therefore, and build ye the sanctuary of the Lord God, to bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and the holy vessels of God, into the house that is to be built to the name of the Lord.
