29 ¶ Lèfini, David pale ak tout moun ki te sanble la yo, li di yo konsa: -Salomon, pitit gason m' lan, se li menm Bondye chwazi, men li jenn anpil, li pa gen esperyans. Travay la anpil, paske se pa yon kay pou moun li pral bati, men yon tanp pou Bondye, Seyè a.

Mwen fè sa m' te kapab pou m' te pare materyo pou tanp lan: lò, ajan, kwiv, fè, bwa, bèl pyè oniks, bèl pyè pou sèvi ganiti, pyè malachit ak tout kalite lòt koulè, tout kalite bèl pyè koute chè ak mab an kantite.

Men, pou mete sou tou sa mwen pare pou kay n'ap mete apa pou Seyè a, mwen pran lò ak ajan mwen te genyen, mwen bay tout paske mwen renmen kay Bondye a anpil:

sanmil (100.000) kilo bon lò ki soti nan peyi Ofi, ak desantrant (230) kilo bon ajan pou dekore miray Tanp lan,

pou fè tout bèl bagay an lò osinon an ajan bòs atizan yo gen pou fè. Koulye a, kilès ankò ki vle bay ak tout kè li pou Bondye?

Lè sa a, chèf branch fanmi yo, chèf chak fanmi pèp Izrayèl la, tout chèf rejiman mil sòlda yo ak chèf divizyon san sòlda yo, ak tout jeran ki t'ap travay pou wa a, fè kado yo te vle fè.

Yo bay sanswasannsenk (165) kilo lò, twasantrantmil (330.000) kilo ajan, sètsanmil (700.000) kilo kwiv konsa, ak twa milyon twasanmil (3,300.000) kilo fè pou travay Tanp lan.

Sa ki te gen bèl pyè koute chè bay yo pou trezò Tanp lan ki te sou kont Jeyèl, yon moun Levi nan fanmi Gèchon an.

Pèp la menm te kontan bay sa yo t'ap bay pou Seyè a paske yo te fè l' ak tout kè yo. Wa David tou te kontan anpil.

10 ¶ Lè sa a, David fè lwanj Bondye devan tout pèp la ki te reyini. Li di konsa: -Lwanj pou ou, Seyè a, Bondye Izrayèl, papa nou, depi tout tan ak pou tout tan!

11 Seyè, ou gen pouvwa, ou gen kouraj! Se pou ou tout lwanj. W'ap donminen sou tout bagay pou tout tan. Tou sa ki nan syèl la ak sou latè a se pou ou yo ye. Se ou menm Seyè ki sel wa, paske ou sèl chèf sou tout bagay.

12 Se nan men ou tout richès ak tout byen soti. Ou gouvènen tout bagay avèk fòs ponyèt ou ak pouvwa ou. Se ou menm ki bay tout moun pouvwa ak fòs.

13 Koulye a, Bondye nou, nou di ou mèsi. N'ap fè lwanj pou ou sitèlman ou gen pouvwa.

14 Men, kisa m' ye, kisa pèp mwen an ye menm, pou m' ta kapab ofri ou tout bagay sa yo ak tout kè nou? Se nan men ou tout bagay sa yo soti, se nan sa nou resevwa nan men ou n'ap ba ou.

15 Seyè, ou konnen, devan ou se pase n'ap pase tankou moun k'ap vizite, menm jan ak tout zansèt nou yo. Lavi nou sou latè tankou yon nwaj k'ap pase. Wè pa wè fòk nou mouri.

16 Seyè, Bondye nou, nou pare tout richès sa yo pou bati yon kay pou ou, ou menm ki yon Bondye apa. Men, se nan men ou yo tout yo soti, se pou ou yo tout ye.

17 Mwen konnen, Bondye mwen, ou sonde kè tout moun, ou kontan ak moun ki mache dwat. Se poutèt sa, ak tout kè mwen, mwen ofri ou tout bagay sa yo. Koulye a mwen wè jan pèp ou a ki sanble isit la, kontan pou yo pote ofrann pa yo pou ou tou ak tout kè yo.

18 Seyè, Mèt, Bondye Abraram, Bondye Izarak ak Bondye Izrayèl, Bondye zansèt nou yo, tanpri, fè pèp ou a pa janm pèdi bon santiman sa yo ki nan kè yo jòdi a.

19 Tanpri, bay Salomon, pitit gason m' lan, bon santiman tou pou li renmen ou nèt ale, pou li ka mache dapre lòd, regleman ak kòmandman ou yo nan tou sa l'ap fè, pou l' ka bati Tanp lan avèk tout materio mwen fin pare yo.

20 Apre sa David pale ankò ak tout pèp la ki te reyini, li di yo: -Annou fè lwanj pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an! Tout pèp la nèt pran fè lwanj Seyè a, Bondye zansèt yo. Yo mete jenou yo atè, yo bese tèt yo byen ba devan Seyè a ak devan wa a.

21 Nan denmen, yo ofri bèt pou yo touye pou Seyè a, yo boule kèk bèt nèt pou Seyè a: antou mil (1.000) ti towo bèf, mil (1.000) belye mouton, mil (1.000) jenn ti mouton ak ofrann diven ki fèt pou mache ak yo. Yo touye yon pakèt lòt bèt yo tè ofri bay Bondye pou pèp Izrayèl la.

22 Jou sa a, yo manje, yo bwè ak gwo kè kontan dèvan Seyè a. Apre sa yon dezyèm fwa, yo fè deklarasyon yo rekonèt Salomon, pitit David la, pou wa yo. Yo fè sèvis mete l' apa pou l' chèf yo nan non Seyè a. Menm lè a, yo mete Zadòk apa pou l' sèvi granprèt nan non Seyè a tou.

23 ¶ Se konsa Salomon pran plas David, papa l', sou fotèy gouvènman Seyè a te tabli a. Tout zafè l' te mache byen. Tout pèp Izrayèl la te obeyi l'.

24 Tout chèf yo, tout sòlda yo ansanm ak tout lòt pitit David yo te rekonèt Salomon pou sèl chèf yo.

25 Seyè a te bay Salomon yon bèl pozisyon devan pèp la. Li te fè gouvènman Salomon an kanpe fèm ak yon pouvwa ankenn lòt wa nan peyi Izrayèl la pa t' janm genyen anvan sa.

26 David, pitit gason Izayi a, te gouvènen tout peyi Izrayèl la.

27 Li pase karantan ap gouvènen pèp Izrayèl la. Pandan sètan li te rete lavil Ebwon. Pandan rès tranntwazan yo, li te rete lavil Jerizalèm.

28 Lè li mouri, li te granmoun anpil, men kè li te kontan. Li te gen anpil richès. Tout moun t'ap fè lwanj pou li. Se Salomon, pitit gason l' lan, ki moute wa nan plas li.

29 Se nan liv istwa pwofèt Samyèl, liv istwa pwofèt Natan ak liv istwa pwofèt Gad nou jwenn istwa tou sa David te fè depi nan konmansman jouk li mouri.

30 Liv sa yo fè nou konnen jan li te gouvènen, jan li te yon vanyan gason, ansanm ak tou sa ki te rive l', tou sa ki pase nan peyi Izrayèl la ak nan lòt peyi yo tou.

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. 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) 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: 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, 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?”

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) 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. 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) 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.
