¹Then David said, This is the house of the LORD God, and this is the altar of the burnt offering for Israel.

¹ Gaa no Dawda ne: «Woone wo Rabbi Irikoy windi no. Neewo mo no Israyla sargay kaŋ i ga ton yaŋ feema go.»

²And 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.

² Kala Dawda donton ka ne i ma mebarawey kulu kaŋ yaŋ go Israyla laabo ra margu. A na tondi jabukoyaŋ daŋ i ma tondiyaŋ jabu zama i ma Irikoy windo cina nd'ey.

³And David prepared iron in abundance for the nails for the doors of the gates, and for the joinings; and brass in abundance without weight;

³ Dawda na guuru-bi boobo soola mo kaŋ ga kuusayaŋ te fu me da windi me daabirjey se, d'i hawyaŋ harey mo se. A na guuru-say soola kaŋ baa da neesiyaŋ.

⁴Also cedar trees in abundance: for the Zidonians and they of Tyre brought much cedar wood to David.

⁴ A na sedre* dubiyaŋ mo soola kaŋ baa da kabuyaŋ zama Zidon da Tir borey kande sedre bundu boobo Dawda do.

⁵And David said, Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be builded for the LORD must be exceeding magnificent, of fame and of glory throughout all countries: I will therefore now make preparation for it. So David prepared abundantly before his death.

⁵ Dawda ne mo: «Ay izo Suleymanu ya zanka no, a si waani muraadey jina. Windo mo kaŋ i ga cina Rabbi se ga ciya darzakoy gumo nda cimi. A ga te maa ka du beeray laabey kulu me-a-me ra. Woodin sabbay se no ay mo ga soolayaŋ te a se.» Dawda binde na soola boobo te hal a ga bu.

⁶Then he called for Solomon his son, and charged him to build an house for the LORD God of Israel.

⁶ Gaa no a na nga izo Suleymanu ce k'a lordi ka ne a ma windi cina Rabbi, Israyla Irikoyo se.

⁷And 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:

⁷ Dawda ne Suleymanu se: «Ay izo, ay wo kay, a go ay bina ra ay ma windi cina Rabbi ay Irikoyo maa se.

⁸But 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.

⁸ Amma Rabbi sanno kaa ay do ka ne: ‹Ni na kuri boobo mun, ni na wongu beeriyaŋ te mo. Ni si windi cina ay maa se, za kaŋ ni na kuri boobo mun laabo ra ay jine.

⁹Behold, 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.

⁹ Guna, i ga ize aru fo hay ni se, kaŋ ga ciya laakal kanay boro. A se no ay ga fulanzamay no nga ibarey gaa kuray kulu, zama i g'a maa daŋ Suleymanu. Ay ga baani nda laakal kanay no Israyla se mo a zamana ra.

¹⁰He 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.

¹⁰ Nga no ga windi cina ay maa se. A ga ciya ay se ize, ay mo ga ciya a se baaba. Ay g'a koytaray karga tabbatandi mo Israyla boŋ hal abada.›

¹¹Now, 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.

¹¹ Yaadin gaa, sohõ, ay izo, Rabbi ma goro ni banda hala ni ma te albarka, ni ma windi cina mo Rabbi ni Irikoyo se, danga mate kaŋ cine a salaŋ ka ci ni boŋ.

¹²Only the LORD give thee wisdom and understanding, and give thee charge concerning Israel, that thou mayest keep the law of the LORD thy God.

¹² Kala day, Rabbi ma ni no laakal nda fahamay. A ma ni no Israyla boŋ mayray mo, zama ni ma Rabbi ni Irikoyo asariya haggoy k'a te.

¹³Then 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.

¹³ Mate kaŋ ni ga te albarka nd'a, nga neeya: ni ma haggoy ka hin sanney da farilley kaŋ yaŋ Rabbi na Musa lordi nd'ey Israyla boŋ din te. Ma te gaabi nda bine-gaabi, ma si humburu, ma si joote mo.

¹⁴Now, 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.

¹⁴ Guna, taabi boobo no ay na wura ton zambar taaci nda zangu gu, da nzarfu ton zambar waytaaci cindi gu soola nd'a Rabbi windo cinayaŋ se. Guuru-say nda guuru-bi mo go no kaŋ baa da neesiyaŋ, zama iboobo no. Ay na bundu nda tondiyaŋ mo soola. Ni mo ga du ka tonton i gaa.

¹⁵Moreover 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.

¹⁵ Woodin banda, ni gonda goy-ize boobo, danga tondi jabukoyaŋ da tondi fu cinakoyaŋ, da saceyaŋ, da borey kulu kaŋ gonda gonitaray, goy kulu dumi ra.

¹⁶Of 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.

¹⁶ Wura, da nzarfu, da guuru-say, da guuru-bi -- i sinda me. Kala ni ma tun ka goy! Rabbi mo ga goro ni banda.»

¹⁷David also commanded all the princes of Israel to help Solomon his son, saying,

¹⁷ Dawda na Israyla jine borey kulu lordi mo ka ne i ma nga izo Suleymanu gaakasinay. A ne:

¹⁸Is 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.

¹⁸ «Manti Rabbi araŋ Irikoyo go araŋ banda? Manti a n'araŋ no fulanzamay kuray kulu gaa? Zama a na laabo ra gorokoy daŋ ay kambe ra. Laabo go Rabbi mayray ra nd'a jama mayray ra mo.

¹⁹Now 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.

¹⁹ Sohõ, kal araŋ m'araŋ biney d'araŋ fundey daŋ i ma Rabbi araŋ Irikoyo ceeci. Wa tun fa, ka Rabbi Irikoy sududuyaŋ nango cina, zama araŋ ma kande Rabbi sappa sundurko, nga nda Irikoy jinay hanantey, i ma furo fuwo kaŋ i ga ba ka cina Rabbi maa se din ra.»
