¹David assembled all the princes of Israel, the princes of the tribes, and the captains of the companies who served the king by division, and the captains of thousands, and the captains of hundreds, and the rulers over all the substance and possessions of the king and of his sons, with the officers, and the mighty men, even all the mighty men of valor, to 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.

²Then David the king stood up on his feet, and said, “Hear me, my brothers, and my people! As for me, it was in my heart to build a house of rest for the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, and for the footstool of our God; and I had prepared for the building.

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, ‘You shall not build a house for my name, because you are a man of war, and have 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.›

⁴However Yahweh, the God of Israel, chose me out of all the house of my father to be king over Israel forever. For he has chosen Judah to be prince; and in 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.

⁵Of all my sons (for Yahweh has given me many sons), he has chosen Solomon my son to sit on the throne of Yahweh’s kingdom 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.

⁶He said to me, ‘Solomon, your son, 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.

⁷I will establish his kingdom forever, if he continues to do my commandments and my 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.›

⁸Now therefore, in the sight of all Israel, the assembly of Yahweh, and in the audience of our God, observe and seek out all the commandments of Yahweh your God; that you may possess this good land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children after you forever.

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.

⁹You, Solomon my son, know the God of your father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind; for Yahweh searches all hearts, and understands all the imaginations of the thoughts. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will cast you off forever.

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.

¹⁰Take heed now; for Yahweh has chosen you 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.»

¹¹Then David gave to Solomon his son the pattern of the porch of the temple, and of its houses, and of its treasuries, and of the upper rooms of it, and of the inner rooms of it, and of the place 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, for the courts of the house of Yahweh, and for all the surrounding rooms, for the treasuries of God’s house, 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.

¹³also for the divisions of the priests and the Levites, and for all the work of the service of the house of Yahweh, and for all the vessels of service in the house of Yahweh;

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,

¹⁴of gold by weight for the gold, for all vessels of every kind of service; for all the vessels of silver by weight, for all vessels of every 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;

¹⁵by weight also for the lampstands of gold, and for its lamps, of gold, by weight for every lampstand and for its lamps; and for the lampstands of silver, by weight for every lampstand and for its lamps, according to the use of every lampstand;

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 the gold by weight for the tables of show bread, 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 the forks, and the basins, and the cups, of pure gold; and for the golden bowls by weight for every bowl; and for the silver bowls by weight for every bowl;

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 gold for the pattern of the chariot, the cherubim, that spread out, and covered the ark of the covenant of Yahweh.

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.

¹⁹“All this,” said David, “I have been made to understand in writing from the hand of Yahweh, even all the works of this 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.»

²⁰David said to Solomon his son, “Be strong and courageous, and do it. Don’t be afraid, nor be dismayed; for Yahweh God, even my God, is with you. He will not fail you, nor forsake you, until all the work for the service of the house of Yahweh 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.

²¹Behold, there are the divisions of the priests and the Levites, for all the service of God’s house. There shall be with you in all kinds of work every willing man who has skill, for any kind of service. Also the captains and all the people will be entirely at your command.”

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.»
