¹And David assembled all the princes of Israel, the princes of the tribes, and the princes of the divisions that ministered to the king, and the captains over thousands, and the captains over hundreds, and the comptrollers of all the substance and possessions of the king and of his sons, with the chamberlains, and the mighty men, and all the men of valour, unto Jerusalem.

¹ Kala Dawda na Israyla koy kayney kulu margu, danga kundey jine borey, da wongu marga satey koyey kaŋ yaŋ ga goy bonkoono se, da zambarey da zangey koyey, da borey kulu kaŋ yaŋ ga haggoy da bonkoono arzakey d'a almaney, d'a izey waney, da goy jine borey, da soojey -- danga alboro timmantey kulu nooya. A ne i ma kaa Urusalima.

²And king David stood up upon his feet, and said, Hear me, my brethren and my people! I had in my heart to build a house of rest for the ark of the covenant of Jehovah and for the footstool of our God, and I have prepared to build.

² Gaa no bonkoono Dawda tun ka kay ka ne: «Ya ay nya-izey d'ay jama, wa maa ay se: A go ay bina ra ay ma fulanzamyaŋ do cina Rabbi sappa sundurko se, d'iri Irikoyo ce dakeyaŋ tita mo se, kal ay na soola te ay m'a cina.

³But God said to me, Thou shalt not build a house unto my name, for thou art a man of war, and hast shed blood.

³ Amma Irikoy ne ay se: ‹Nin wo, ni si windi cina ay maa sabbay se, zama ni ciya wongu boro, ni na kuri mun mo.›

⁴And Jehovah the God of Israel chose me out of all the house of my father to be king over Israel for ever; for he has chosen Judah to be the prince; and of the house of Judah, the house of my father; and among the sons of my father he took pleasure in me to make me king over all Israel;

⁴ Kulu nda yaadin, Rabbi, Israyla Irikoyo n'ay suuban ay baaba windo kulu ra ay ma ciya bonkooni Israyla kulu boŋ hal abada. Zama a na Yahuda suuban a ma ciya jine boro. Yahuda kunda ra mo a n'ay baaba windo suuban. Ay baaba izey ra mo, a maa ay kaani hal a n'ay ciya bonkooni Israyla kulu boŋ.

⁵and of all my sons, (for Jehovah has given me many sons,) he has chosen Solomon my son to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of Jehovah over Israel.

⁵ Ay ize arey kulu ra mo, (zama Rabbi n'ay no ize aru boobo) a n'ay izo Suleymanu suuban a ma goro karga boŋ ka may da Rabbi koytara Israyla boŋ mayra.

⁶And he said to me, Solomon thy son, he shall build my house and my courts; for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be his father.

⁶ A ne ay se mo: ‹Ni izo Suleymanu no g'ay fuwo d'ay windo cina, zama ay n'a suuban no a ma ciya ay se ize, ay mo ma ciya a se baaba.

⁷And I will establish his kingdom for ever, if he be firm to do my commandments and mine ordinances, as at this day.

⁷ Ay g'a koytara tabbatandi mo hal abada, da day a ga haggoy k'ay lordey d'ay farilley te, mate kaŋ i go ga te hunkuna.›

⁸And now in the sight of all Israel, the congregation of Jehovah, and in the audience of our God, -- keep and seek for all the commandments of Jehovah your God; that ye may possess the good land, and leave it as an inheritance to your children after you for ever.

⁸ Woodin sabbay se no sohõ, Israyla kulu jine, sanda Rabbi jama nooya, da mo Irikoy hanga ra, ay g'araŋ yaamar araŋ ma haggoy. Araŋ ma Rabbi araŋ Irikoyo lordey ceeci, zama araŋ ma du laabu hanno wo mayra, araŋ m'a no a ma ciya tubu araŋ izey se araŋ banda hal abada.

⁹And thou, Solomon my son, know the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind; for Jehovah searches all hearts, and discerns all the imaginations of the thoughts. If thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cut thee off for ever.

⁹ Nin mo, ay izo Suleymanu, ni ma ni baaba Irikoyo bay. Ni ma may a se da bine folloŋ da laakal kaŋ ga yadda mo, zama Rabbi ga biney kulu neesi, a ga faham da fonguyaŋ kulu miila mo. Da ni n'a ceeci, a ga naŋ ni ma du nga, amma da ni n'a furu ka kamba, nga mo ga ni furu hal abada.

¹⁰Consider now, that Jehovah has chosen thee to build a house for the sanctuary: be strong, and do [it].

¹⁰ Ma te laakal sohõ, zama Rabbi na ni suuban ni ma fu cina, a nangoray hananta nooya. Ma te bine-gaabi ka goy.»

¹¹And David gave to Solomon his son the pattern of the porch, and of its houses, and of its treasuries, and of its upper chambers, and of its inner chambers, and of the house of the mercy-seat;

¹¹ Gaa no Dawda na nga izo Suleymanu no fu beero meyo gaa batama deedando jeeriyaŋ, d'a cinarey wane, d'a jisiri fuwey wane, d'a soorey wane, d'a ra fuwo wane, da fuwo kaŋ ra i ga sasabandiyaŋo do daŋ wane.

¹²and the pattern of all that he had by the Spirit, of the courts of the house of Jehovah, and of all the chambers round about, for the treasuries of the house of God, and for the treasuries of the dedicated things;

¹² Danga a na hay kulu kaŋ _Irikoy|_ Biya daŋ a bina ra deedando cabe -- Rabbi windo batamey, da fu-izey kaŋ yaŋ g'i windi kulu, da Irikoy windo jisirey, da sarti boŋ nooyaŋ jisirey.

¹³and for the courses of the priests and the Levites, and for all the work of the service of the house of Jehovah, and for all the instruments of service in the house of Jehovah:

¹³ A na alfagey da Lawitey sata-satey, da Rabbi windo muraadu goyey kulu mo cabe. A n'a no mo Rabbi windo ra goy jinay kulu deedando,

¹⁴gold by weight for [things] of gold, for all utensils of each kind of service; for all utensils of silver, by weight, for all utensils of each kind of service;

¹⁴ wura jinay se wura tiŋay kaŋ i ga jinayey kulu te d'a, goy dumi kulu ra, da nzarfu jinay se, nzarfu tiŋay kaŋ i ga jinayey kulu te d'a, goy dumi kulu ra;

¹⁵and the weight of the golden candlesticks, and of their golden lamps, by weight for every candlestick, and for its lamps; and for the silver candlesticks, by weight, for the candlestick and for its lamps, according to the use of every candlestick;

¹⁵ da wura tiŋay kaŋ i ga wura fitilla suntuley da ngey deeney te d'a, kaŋ ga cabe fitilla suntulo kulu tiŋay da nga deeney; da mo nzarfu tiŋay nzarfu fitilla suntuley se, kaŋ ga cabe fitilla suntulu kulu tiŋay da ngey deeney, mate kaŋ i ga goy d'a ka fitilla kulu te.

¹⁶and gold by weight for the tables of the [loaves] to be set in rows, for every table; and silver for the tables of silver;

¹⁶ A n'a cabe mo wura tiŋay jisiyaŋ buuru taabaley se, taabal fo kulu se, da nzarfu mo nzarfu taabaley se.

¹⁷and pure gold for the forks, and the bowls, and the goblets; and for the golden basons by weight for every bason; and for the silver basons by weight for every bason;

¹⁷ A n'a cabe mo ham gotey, da taasey, da sintiley, wura hanno waney; da wura taasa guusey, i afo kulu tiŋay boŋ, da nzarfu taasa guusey, i afo kulu tiŋay boŋ.

¹⁸and for the altar of incense, refined gold by weight; and the pattern of the chariot of the cherubim of gold, which spread out [their wings] and cover the ark of the covenant of Jehovah.

¹⁸ A n'a cabe mo wura hanno tiŋay kaŋ i ga dugu tonyaŋ feema te d'a, da mo wura kaŋ i ga torko te d'a, d'a deedandi, danga ciiti malaykey nooya kaŋ yaŋ ga ngey fatey salle ka Rabbi sappa sundurko daabu nd'ey.

¹⁹All this [said David,] in writing, by Jehovah's hand upon me, instructing as to all the works of the pattern.

¹⁹ Dawda ne: «Woodin yaŋ kulu Rabbi naŋ ay ma faham d'ey k'i hantum, zama a kambe go ay gaa, danga deedando jeeriyaŋ goyey kulu nooya.»

²⁰And David said to Solomon his son, Be strong and courageous, and do it; fear not nor be dismayed: for Jehovah Elohim, my God, will be with thee; he will not leave thee, neither forsake thee, until all the work for the service of the house of Jehovah is finished.

²⁰ Gaa no Dawda ne nga izo Suleymanu se: «Ma te gaabi da bine-gaabi ka goy. Ma si humburu, ni bina ma si pati mo, zama Rabbi Irikoy, kaŋ ga ti ay Irikoyo, a go ni banda. A si ni naŋ, a si ni furu mo kala ni ma Rabbi windo ra muraadey goy kulu te ka ban.

²¹And behold, the courses of the priests and the Levites are for all the service of the house of God; and thou hast with thee for all manner of workmanship every willing man, skilful for every sort of service; and the princes and all the people are wholly at thy commandment.

²¹ Guna mo, sohõ alfagey da Lawitey sata-satey go no Irikoy windo goy kulu sabbay se. Boro kulu mo kaŋ a bina ga yadda, kaŋ gonda gonitaray dumi-dumi, i ga goy ni banda goyo kulu ra, muraadey kulu se. Jine borey da jama kulu ni wane yaŋ no, i ga ni lordey gana hay kulu ra.»
