Essaala ya Dawudi

10Awo Dawudi n’atendereza Mukama mu lujjudde lw’abantu bonna, n’ayogera nti,

“Weebazibwe, Ayi Mukama Katonda,

Katonda wa jjajjaffe Isirayiri,

emirembe n’emirembe.

1129:11 a Zab 24:8; 59:17; 62:11 b Zab 89:11 c Kub 5:12-13Obukulu, n’amaanyi, n’ekitiibwa, n’obuwanguzi,

n’okugulumizibwa bibyo, Ayi Mukama Katonda,

kubanga byonna ebiri mu ggulu ne mu nsi bibyo.

Obwakabaka bubwo, Ayi Mukama Katonda,

era ogulumizibwa okuba omukulu wa byonna.

1229:12 a 2By 1:12 b 2By 20:6; Bar 11:36Obugagga n’ekitiibwa biva gy’oli,

era ggwe ofuga ebintu byonna;

omukono gwo gwa maanyi era gwa buyinza

era gugulumiza ne guwa amaanyi bonna.

13Kale nno, Katonda waffe, tukwebaza

era tutendereza erinnya lyo ery’ekitiibwa.

14“Naye nze ani n’abantu bange kye ki, ffe okusobola okuwaayo bwe tutyo nga ffe tweyagalidde? Byonna biva gy’oli, era tukuwadde ku bibyo. 1529:15 a Zab 39:12; Beb 11:13 b Yob 14:2Ffe tuli bagenyi era abatambuze mu maaso go, nga bajjajjaffe bonna bwe baali, n’ennaku zaffe ez’oku nsi ziri ng’ekisiikirize, awatali ssuubi. 16Era Ayi Mukama Katonda waffe, ebintu bino byonna bye tuwaddeyo olw’okuzimba eyeekaalu ku lw’erinnya lyo, biva gy’oli, era byonna bibyo. 1729:17 a Zab 139:23; Nge 15:11; 17:3; Yer 11:20; 17:10 b 1By 28:9; Zab 15:1-5Katonda wange, mmanyi nti okebera emitima, era osanyukira obwesimbu, n’ebintu bino byonna mbiwaddeyo awatali kuwalirizibwa, era n’omutima omwesimbu. Era kaakano ndabye abantu bo nga bakuwa n’essanyu n’omwoyo gumu. 18Ayi Mukama, Katonda wa bajjajjaffe Ibulayimu, Isaaka, ne Isirayiri, okuume omuliro ogwo mu mitima gy’abantu bo emirembe gyonna, era emitima gyabwe ginywerere ku gwe. 1929:19 a 1By 28:9 b Zab 72:1 c 1By 22:14Owe Sulemaani mutabani wange omutima ogumaliridde okukumanga ebiragiro byo, empya zo, n’amateeka go, era omuwe amaanyi okuzimba ekizimbe kye ntegese.”

20Awo Dawudi n’agamba ekibiina kyonna nti, “Mukama Katonda wammwe atenderezebwe.” Ekibiina kyonna ne kitendereza Mukama, Katonda wa bajjajjaabwe nga bakutamye emitwe gyabwe, nga bwe bagwa ne ku ttaka mu maaso ga Mukama ne kabaka.

Sulemaani atikirwa okuba kabaka

2129:21 1Bk 8:62Ku lunaku olwaddirira ne bawaayo ssaddaaka n’ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa eri Mukama, ng’omwo mwe muli seddume lukumi, n’endiga ennume lukumi, n’obwana bw’endiga obulume lukumi, era n’ebiweebwayo eby’okunywa ne ssaddaaka endala ku lwa Isirayiri yenna. 2229:22 a 1By 23:1 b 1Bk 1:33-39Ne baliira era ne banywera mu maaso ga Mukama nga bajjudde essanyu lingi ku lunaku olwo.

Awo Sulemaani mutabani wa Dawudi n’akakasibwa nga kabaka omulundi ogwokubiri, era n’afukibwako amafuta mu maaso ga Mukama okuba omukulembeze ne Zadooki okuba kabona. 2329:23 1Bk 2:12Awo Sulemaani n’atuula ku ntebe ey’obwakabaka eya Mukama nga ye kabaka mu kifo kya Dawudi kitaawe, era n’alaba omukisa ne Isirayiri yenna ne mugondera. 24Abakungu bonna n’abasajja abazira bonna, ne batabani ba kabaka Dawudi bonna ne bawera eri kabaka Sulemaani.

2529:25 a 2By 1:1, 12 b 1Bk 3:13; Mub 2:9Mukama n’agulumiza nnyo Sulemaani mu maaso ga Isirayiri yenna, era n’aweebwa ekitiibwa eky’obwakabaka ekyali kitaweebwanga kabaka mulala yenna mu Isirayiri.

Okufa kwa Dawudi

2629:26 1By 18:14Dawudi mutabani wa Yese yali kabaka wa Isirayiri yenna. 2729:27 2Sa 5:4-5; 1Bk 2:11; 1By 3:4Yafugira Isirayiri okumala emyaka amakumi ana, nga musanvu yagifugira e Kebbulooni, n’emirala amakumi asatu n’agifugira mu Yerusaalemi. 2829:28 a Lub 15:15; Bik 13:36 b 1By 23:1N’afa ng’akaddiye nnyo, ng’ajjudde essanyu olw’emyaka gye yamala ku nsi, mu bugagga ne mu kitiibwa, era Sulemaani mutabani we n’amusikira.

2929:29 a 1Sa 9:9 b 2Sa 7:2 c 1Sa 22:5Era ebyafaayo ebyomumirembe gya kabaka Dawudi okuviira ddala ku ntandikwa okutuukira ddala ku nkomerero, byawandiikibwa mu bitabo ebyomumirembe bya nnabbi Samwiri ne mu bitabo ebyomumirembe ebya Gaadi omulabirizi, 30era n’eby’okufuga kwe, n’obuyinza bwe, n’ebyo byonna ebyamutuukako, ne ku Isirayiri, ne ku bwakabaka obulala obwali bumwetoolodde, byonna byawandiikibwa omwo.

1 Chronicles 29:1-30

Gifts Are Brought for Building the Temple

1Then King David spoke to the whole community. He said, “God has chosen my son Solomon. But Solomon is young. He’s never done anything like this before. The task is huge. This grand and wonderful temple won’t be built for human beings. It will be built for the Lord God. 2With all my riches I’ve done everything I could for the temple of my God. I’ve provided gold for the gold work and silver for the silver work. I’ve provided bronze for the bronze work and iron for the iron work. I’ve given wood for the things that will be made out of wood. I’ve given onyx and turquoise for the settings. I’ve given stones of different colors and all kinds of fine stone and marble. I’ve provided everything in huge amounts. 3With all my heart I want the temple of my God to be built. So I’m giving my personal treasures of gold and silver for it. I’m adding them to everything else I’ve provided for the holy temple. 4I’m giving 110 tons of gold and 260 tons of pure silver. Cover the walls of the buildings with it. 5Use it for the gold work and the silver work. Use it for everything the skilled workers will do. How many of you are willing to set yourselves apart to the Lord today?”

6Many people were willing to give. They included the leaders of families and the officers of the tribes of Israel. They included the commanders of thousands of men and commanders of hundreds. They also included the officials who were in charge of the king’s work. 7All of them gave to the work on God’s temple. They gave more than 190 tons of gold and 380 tons of silver. They also gave 675 tons of bronze and 3,800 tons of iron. 8Anyone who had valuable jewels added them to the treasure for the Lord’s temple. Jehiel was in charge of the temple treasure. He was from the family line of Gershon. 9The people were happy when they saw what their leaders had been willing to give. The leaders had given freely. With their whole heart they had given everything to the Lord. King David was filled with joy.

David’s Prayer

10David praised the Lord in front of the whole community. He said,

Lord, we give you praise.

You are the God of our father Israel.

We give you praise for ever and ever.

11Lord, you are great and powerful.

Glory, majesty and beauty belong to you.

Everything in heaven and on earth belongs to you.

Lord, the kingdom belongs to you.

You are honored as the one who rules over all.

12Wealth and honor come from you.

You are the ruler of all things.

In your hands are strength and power.

You can give honor and strength to everyone.

13Our God, we give you thanks.

We praise your glorious name.

14“But who am I? And who are my people? Without your help we wouldn’t be able to give this much. Everything comes from you. We’ve given back to you only what comes from you. 15We are outsiders and strangers in your sight. So were all of our people who lived long ago. Our days on this earth are like a shadow. We don’t have any hope. 16Lord our God, we’ve given more than enough. We’ve provided it to build you a temple where you will put your holy Name. But all of it comes from you. All of it belongs to you. 17My God, I know that you tested our hearts. And you are pleased when we are honest. I’ve given all these things just because I wanted to. When I did it, I was completely honest with you. Your people here have also been willing to give to you. And I’ve been happy to see this. 18Lord, you are the God of our fathers Abraham, Isaac and Israel. Keep these desires and thoughts in the hearts of your people forever. Keep their hearts faithful to you. 19Help my son Solomon serve you with all his heart. Then he will keep your commands and rules. He will do what you require. He’ll do everything to build the grand and wonderful temple I’ve provided for.”

20Then David said to the whole community, “Praise the Lord your God.” So all of them praised the Lord. He’s the God of their people who lived long ago. The whole community bowed low. They fell down flat with their faces toward the ground. They did it in front of the Lord and the king.

Solomon Becomes the Next King

21The next day they offered sacrifices to the Lord. They brought burnt offerings to him. They sacrificed 1,000 bulls, 1,000 rams and 1,000 male lambs. They also brought the required drink offerings. And they offered many other sacrifices for the whole community of Israel. 22They ate and drank with great joy that day. They did it in front of the Lord. Then they announced a second time that Solomon was king. He was the son of David. They anointed Solomon in front of the Lord. They anointed him to be ruler. They also anointed Zadok to be priest.

23So Solomon sat on the throne of the Lord. He ruled as king in place of his father David. Things went well with him. All the people of Israel obeyed him. 24All the officers and warriors promised to be completely faithful to King Solomon. So did all of King David’s sons.

25The Lord greatly honored Solomon in the sight of all the people. He gave him royal majesty. Solomon was given more glory than any king over Israel ever had before.

David Dies

26David was king over the whole nation of Israel. He was the son of Jesse. 27He ruled over Israel for 40 years. He ruled for seven years in Hebron and for 33 years in Jerusalem. 28He died when he was very old. He had enjoyed a long life. He had enjoyed wealth and honor. David’s son Solomon became the next king after him.

29The events of King David’s rule from beginning to end are written down. They are written in the records of Samuel, Nathan and Gad, the prophets. 30The records tell all about David’s rule and power. They tell about what happened concerning him and Israel and the kingdoms of all the other lands.
