Gifts for Building the Temple

29 Then King David said to the whole assembly: “My son Solomon, the one whom God has chosen, is young and inexperienced.(A) The task is great, because this palatial structure is not for man but for the Lord God. 2 With all my resources I have provided for the temple of my God—gold(B) for the gold work, silver for the silver, bronze for the bronze, iron for the iron and wood for the wood, as well as onyx for the settings, turquoise,[a](C) stones of various colors, and all kinds of fine stone and marble—all of these in large quantities.(D) 3 Besides, in my devotion to the temple of my God I now give my personal treasures of gold and silver for the temple of my God, over and above everything I have provided(E) for this holy temple: 4 three thousand talents[b] of gold (gold of Ophir)(F) and seven thousand talents[c] of refined silver,(G) for the overlaying of the walls of the buildings, 5 for the gold work and the silver work, and for all the work to be done by the craftsmen. Now, who is willing to consecrate themselves to the Lord today?”

6 Then the leaders of families, the officers of the tribes of Israel, the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds, and the officials(H) in charge of the king’s work gave willingly.(I) 7 They(J) gave toward the work on the temple of God five thousand talents[d] and ten thousand darics[e] of gold, ten thousand talents[f] of silver, eighteen thousand talents[g] of bronze and a hundred thousand talents[h] of iron. 8 Anyone who had precious stones(K) gave them to the treasury of the temple of the Lord in the custody of Jehiel the Gershonite.(L) 9 The people rejoiced at the willing response of their leaders, for they had given freely and wholeheartedly(M) to the Lord. David the king also rejoiced greatly.

David’s Prayer

10 David praised the Lord in the presence of the whole assembly, saying,

“Praise be to you, Lord,
    the God of our father Israel,
    from everlasting to everlasting.
11 Yours, Lord, is the greatness and the power(N)
    and the glory and the majesty and the splendor,
    for everything in heaven and earth is yours.(O)
Yours, Lord, is the kingdom;
    you are exalted as head over all.(P)
12 Wealth and honor(Q) come from you;
    you are the ruler(R) of all things.
In your hands are strength and power
    to exalt and give strength to all.
13 Now, our God, we give you thanks,
    and praise your glorious name.

14 “But who am I, and who are my people, that we should be able to give as generously as this?(S) Everything comes from you, and we have given you only what comes from your hand.(T) 15 We are foreigners and strangers(U) in your sight, as were all our ancestors. Our days on earth are like a shadow,(V) without hope. 16 Lord our God, all this abundance that we have provided for building you a temple for your Holy Name comes from your hand, and all of it belongs to you. 17 I know, my God, that you test the heart(W) and are pleased with integrity. All these things I have given willingly and with honest intent. And now I have seen with joy how willingly your people who are here have given to you.(X) 18 Lord, the God of our fathers Abraham, Isaac and Israel, keep these desires and thoughts in the hearts of your people forever, and keep their hearts loyal to you. 19 And give my son Solomon the wholehearted devotion(Y) to keep your commands, statutes and decrees(Z) and to do everything to build the palatial structure for which I have provided.”(AA)

20 Then David said to the whole assembly, “Praise the Lord your God.” So they all praised the Lord, the God of their fathers; they bowed down, prostrating themselves before the Lord and the king.

Solomon Acknowledged as King(AB)

21 The next day they made sacrifices to the Lord and presented burnt offerings to him:(AC) a thousand bulls, a thousand rams and a thousand male lambs, together with their drink offerings, and other sacrifices in abundance for all Israel.(AD) 22 They ate and drank with great joy(AE) in the presence of the Lord that day.

Then they acknowledged Solomon son of David as king a second time, anointing him before the Lord to be ruler and Zadok(AF) to be priest. 23 So Solomon sat(AG) on the throne(AH) of the Lord as king in place of his father David. He prospered and all Israel obeyed him. 24 All the officers and warriors, as well as all of King David’s sons,(AI) pledged their submission to King Solomon.

25 The Lord highly exalted(AJ) Solomon in the sight of all Israel and bestowed on him royal splendor(AK) such as no king over Israel ever had before.(AL)

The Death of David(AM)

26 David son of Jesse was king(AN) over all Israel.(AO) 27 He ruled over Israel forty years—seven in Hebron(AP) and thirty-three in Jerusalem.(AQ) 28 He died(AR) at a good old age, having enjoyed long life, wealth and honor. His son Solomon succeeded him as king.(AS)

29 As for the events of King David’s reign, from beginning to end, they are written in the records of Samuel the seer,(AT) the records of Nathan(AU) the prophet and the records of Gad(AV) the seer, 30 together with the details of his reign and power, and the circumstances that surrounded him and Israel and the kingdoms of all the other lands.

Daruri pentru construirea Casei Domnului

29 Apoi regele David a zis întregii adunări:

„Fiul meu Solomon, singurul pe care l-a ales Dumnezeu, este tânăr şi plăpând, iar lucrarea este atât de mare, căci Templul[a] nu este pentru un om, ci pentru Însuşi Domnul Dumnezeu. 2 Am pregătit din răsputeri pentru Casa lui Dumnezeu aur pentru ce este din aur, argint pentru ce este din argint, bronz pentru ce este din bronz, fier pentru ce este din fier, lemn pentru ce este din lemn, pietre de onix de fixat pe monturi, pietre de antimoniu[b], tot felul de pietre preţioase, pietre de diferite culori, precum şi pietre de alabastru din belşug. 3 De asemenea, în râvna mea pentru Casa lui Dumnezeu, pe lângă toate pregătirile pe care le-am făcut pentru Sfântul Lăcaş, ofer pentru Casa Dumnezeului meu bogăţiile mele în aur şi argint 4 – trei mii de talanţi[c] de aur, aur de Ofir, şi şapte mii de talanţi[d] de argint pur – pentru poleirea pereţilor clădirilor 5 şi pentru întreaga lucrare pe care o vor face meşteşugarii; ofer aur pentru lucrările din aur şi argint pentru lucrările din argint. Aşadar, cine îşi mai aduce contribuţia, dedicându-se astăzi Domnului?“

Răspunsul poporului la mesajul regelui

6 Căpeteniile familiilor, căpeteniile seminţiilor lui Israel, căpeteniile peste mii şi peste sute şi căpeteniile responsabile cu lucrarea regelui şi-au adus contribuţia. 7 Ei au dat pentru lucrarea de la Casa lui Dumnezeu:

cinci mii de talanţi[e] de aur

şi zece mii de darici[f] de aur,

zece mii de talanţi[g] de argint,

optsprezece mii de talanţi[h] de bronz

şi o sută de mii de talanţi[i] de fier.

8 Cine a avut pietre preţioase le-a dăruit pentru vistieria Casei Domnului, de care avea grijă gherşonitul Iehiel. 9 Poporul s-a bucurat de darurile pe care le-a făcut, căci le-a dăruit Domnului din toată inima; de asemenea, şi regele David s-a bucurat nespus de mult.

Rugăciunea lui David

10 David a binecuvântat pe Domnul înaintea întregii adunări, zicând astfel:

„Binecuvântat să fii Tu, Doamne, Dumnezeul lui Israel, Părintele nostru, pentru veci de veci! 11 Ale Tale sunt, Doamne, măreţia, puterea, gloria, biruinţa şi maiestatea, atât în ceruri, cât şi pe pământ! A Ta, Doamne, este stăpânirea şi Tu Te înalţi ca suveran peste toate! 12 Bogăţia şi slava vin dinaintea Ta. Tu stăpâneşti peste toate. În mâna Ta este puterea şi tăria; mâna Ta poate să înalţe şi să întărească pe oricine. 13 Acum, Dumnezeul nostru, noi Îţi aducem mulţumiri şi lăudăm slăvitul Tău Nume. 14 Căci ce sunt eu şi ce este poporul meu, ca să putem fi în stare să-Ţi oferim aceste daruri? De la Tine le avem pe toate şi ceea ce Ţi-am oferit a fost primit din mâna Ta. 15 Înaintea Ta noi suntem doar nişte străini şi peregrini, la fel ca şi strămoşii noştri. Zilele noastre pe pământ sunt ca o umbră, fără nădejde. 16 Doamne, Dumnezeul nostru, tot acest belşug pe care l-am strâns ca să zidim o Casă Numelui Tău cel sfânt, vine din mâna Ta şi totul Îţi aparţine Ţie. 17 Dumnezeul meu, ştiu că Tu cercetezi inima, iar curăţia Îţi este plăcută. Eu am dăruit toate acestea în curăţie de inimă şi am privit cu bucurie la poporul Tău, care se află aici, aducându-Ţi darurile lui. 18 Doamne, Dumnezeul lui Avraam, Isaac şi Israel, strămoşii noştri, păstrează această dorinţă în inima poporului Tău pe vecie şi ţine-le inima aproape de Tine! 19 Iar fiului meu Solomon, dă-i o inimă dedicată întru totul, ca să păzească poruncile Tale, mărturiile Tale şi rânduielile Tale, să le împlinească pe toate şi să zidească Templul pentru care am făcut pregătiri.“

20 Apoi David i-a zis întregii adunări: „Binecuvântaţi pe Domnul, Dumnezeul vostru!“ Şi toată adunarea a binecuvântat pe Domnul, Dumnezeul strămoşilor lor; ei s-au închinat cu toţii, plecându-se înaintea Domnului şi a regelui.

Solomon recunoscut drept rege

21 În ziua următoare au adus jertfe Domnului şi au oferit ca arderi de tot Domnului o mie de boi, o mie de berbeci şi o mie de miei, împreună cu jertfe de băutură şi o mulţime de alte jertfe aduse din partea întregului Israel. 22 În ziua aceea au mâncat şi au băut în prezenţa Domnului cu mare bucurie, l-au făcut rege a doua oară pe Solomon, fiul lui David, şi l-au uns drept conducător al[j] Domnului, iar pe Ţadok – ca preot. 23 Solomon s-a aşezat pe tronul Domnului, ca să domnească în locul lui David, tatăl său; el a avut izbândă şi întregul Israel a ascultat de el. 24 Toate căpeteniile, vitejii şi toţi fiii regelui David, s-au supus regelui Solomon. 25 Domnul l-a înălţat pe Solomon înaintea întregului Israel şi i-a făcut parte de o domnie mai strălucită decât a oricărui alt rege al lui Israel care a fost înainte de el.

Necrologul lui David

26 David, fiul lui Işai, a domnit peste întregul Israel. 27 El a domnit peste Israel timp de patruzeci de ani: la Hebron a domnit timp de şapte ani, iar la Ierusalim a domnit timp de treizeci şi trei de ani. 28 David a murit după o bătrâneţe fericită, sătul de zile, de bogăţie şi de slavă. În locul lui a domnit fiul său Solomon. 29 Faptele regelui David, cele dintâi şi cele de pe urmă, sunt scrise în „Cronicile văzătorului Samuel“, în „Cronicile profetului Natan“ şi în „Cronicile văzătorului Gad“, 30 împreună cu toată domnia şi puterea lui şi cu evenimentele care au avut loc în viaţa lui, în Israel şi în toate regatele celorlalte ţări.

Offerings for Building the Temple

29 Furthermore King David said to all the assembly: “My son Solomon, whom alone God has (A)chosen, is (B)young and inexperienced; and the work is great, because the [a]temple is not for man but for the Lord God. 2 Now for the house of my God I have prepared with all my might: gold for things to be made of gold, silver for things of silver, bronze for things of bronze, iron for things of iron, wood for things of wood, (C)onyx stones, stones to be set, glistening stones of various colors, all kinds of precious stones, and marble slabs in abundance. 3 Moreover, because I have set my affection on the house of my God, I have given to the house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the holy house, my own special treasure of gold and silver: 4 three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of (D)Ophir, and seven thousand talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls of the houses; 5 the gold for things of gold and the silver for things of silver, and for all kinds of work to be done by the hands of craftsmen. Who then is (E)willing to [b]consecrate himself this day to the Lord?”

6 Then (F)the leaders of the fathers’ houses, leaders of the tribes of Israel, the captains of thousands and of hundreds, with (G)the officers over the king’s work, (H)offered willingly. 7 They gave for the work of the house of God five thousand talents and ten thousand darics of gold, ten thousand talents of silver, eighteen thousand talents of bronze, and one hundred thousand talents of iron. 8 And whoever had precious stones gave them to the treasury of the house of the Lord, into the hand of (I)Jehiel[c] the Gershonite. 9 Then the people rejoiced, for they had offered willingly, because with a loyal heart they had (J)offered willingly to the Lord; and King David also rejoiced greatly.

David’s Praise to God

10 Therefore David blessed the Lord before all the assembly; and David said:

“Blessed are You, Lord God of Israel, our Father, forever and ever.
11 (K)Yours, O Lord, is the greatness,
The power and the glory,
The victory and the majesty;
For all that is in heaven and in earth is Yours;
Yours is the kingdom, O Lord,
And You are exalted as head over all.
12 (L)Both riches and honor come from You,
And You reign over all.
In Your hand is power and might;
In Your hand it is to make great
And to give strength to all.

13 “Now therefore, our God,
We thank You
And praise Your glorious name.
14 But who am I, and who are my people,
That we should be able to offer so willingly as this?
For all things come from You,
And [d]of Your own we have given You.
15 For (M)we are [e]aliens and [f]pilgrims before You,
As were all our fathers;
(N)Our days on earth are as a shadow,
And without hope.

16 “O Lord our God, all this abundance that we have prepared to build You a house for Your holy name is from Your hand, and is all Your own. 17 I know also, my God, that You (O)test the heart and (P)have pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of my heart I have willingly offered all these things; and now with joy I have seen Your people, who are present here to offer willingly to You. 18 O Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, our fathers, keep this forever in the intent of the thoughts of the heart of Your people, and fix their heart toward You. 19 And (Q)give my son Solomon a loyal heart to keep Your commandments and Your testimonies and Your statutes, to do all these things, and to build the [g]temple for which (R)I have made provision.”

20 Then David said to all the assembly, “Now bless the Lord your God.” So all the assembly blessed the Lord God of their fathers, and bowed their heads and prostrated themselves before the Lord and the king.

Solomon Anointed King(S)

21 And they made sacrifices to the Lord and offered burnt offerings to the Lord on the next day: a thousand bulls, a thousand rams, a thousand lambs, with their drink offerings, and (T)sacrifices in abundance for all Israel. 22 So they ate and drank before the Lord with great gladness on that day. And they made Solomon the son of David king the second time, and (U)anointed him before the Lord to be the leader, and Zadok to be priest. 23 Then Solomon sat on the throne of the Lord as king instead of David his father, and prospered; and all Israel obeyed him. 24 All the leaders and the mighty men, and also all the sons of King David, (V)submitted[h] themselves to King Solomon. 25 So the Lord exalted Solomon exceedingly in the sight of all Israel, and (W)bestowed on him such royal majesty as had not been on any king before him in Israel.

The Close of David’s Reign

26 Thus David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel. 27 (X)And the period that he reigned over Israel was forty years; (Y)seven years he reigned in Hebron, and thirty-three years he reigned in Jerusalem. 28 So he (Z)died in a good old age, (AA)full of days and riches and honor; and Solomon his son reigned in his place. 29 Now the acts of King David, first and last, indeed they are written in the [i]book of Samuel the seer, in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the book of Gad the seer, 30 with all his reign and his might, (AB)and the events that happened to him, to Israel, and to all the kingdoms of the lands.
