I Chronicles 22

vayyomer david zeh hu bet Adonai ha'elohim vezeh-mmizbeakh le'olah leyisra'el

David said, “Here will be the House of GOD and here the altar of burnt offerings for Israel.”

vayyomer david likhnos et-haggerim asher be'erets yisra'el vayya'amed khotsevim lakhtsov avne gazit livnot bet ha'elohim

David gave orders to assemble the resident aliens in the land of Israel, and assigned them to be hewers, to quarry and dress stones for building the House of God.

uvarzel larov lammismerim ledaltot hashe'arim velamkhabberot hekhin david unekhoshet larov en mishqal

Much iron for nails for the doors of the gates and for clasps did David lay aside, and so much copper it could not be weighed,

va'atse arazim le'en mispar ki-hevi'u hatsidonim vehatsorim atse arazim larov ledavid

and cedar logs without number—for the Sidonians and the Tyrians brought many cedar logs to David.

vayyomer david shelomoh veni na'ar varakh vehabbayit livnot la-Adonai lehagdil lemalah leshem uletiferet lekhol-ha'aratsot akhinah na lo vayyakhen david larov lifne moto

For David thought, “My son Solomon is an untried youth, and the House to be built for GOD is to be made exceedingly great to win fame and glory throughout all the lands; let me then lay aside material for him.” So David laid aside much material before he died.

vayyiqra lishlomoh veno vayetsavvehu livnot bayit la-Adonai elohe yisra'el

Then he summoned his son Solomon and charged him with building the House for the ETERNAL God of Israel.

vayyomer david lishlomoh (vnv) [beni] ani hayah im-levavi livnot bayit leshem Adonai elohay

David said to Solomon, “My son, I wanted to build a House for the name of my ETERNAL God.

vayehi alay devar-Adonai lemor dam larov shafakhta umilkhamot gedolot asita lo-tivneh vayit lishmi ki damim rabbim shafakhta artsah lefanay

But the word of GOD came to me, saying, ‘You have shed much blood and fought great battles; you shall not build a House for My name, for you have shed much blood on the earth in My sight.

hinneh-ven nolad lakh hu yihyeh ish menukhah vahanikhoti lo mikkol-oyevayw missaviv ki shelomoh yihyeh shemo veshalom vasheqet etten al-yisra'el beyamayw

But you will have a son who will be a man at rest, for I will give him rest from all his enemies on all sides; Solomon will be his name and I shall confer peace and quiet on Israel in his time.

hu-yivneh vayit lishmi vehu yihyeh-lli leven va'ani-lo le'av vahakhinoti kisse malkhuto al-yisra'el ad-olam

He will build a House for My name; he shall be a son to Me and I to him a father, and I will establish his throne of kingship over Israel forever.’

attah veni yehi Adonai immakh vehitslakhta uvanita bet Adonai elohekha ka'asher dibber alekha

Now, my son, may GOD be with you, and may you succeed in building the House of the ETERNAL your God as you were promised.

akh yitten-lekha Adonai sekhel uvinah vitsavvekha al-yisra'el velishmor et-torat Adonai elohekha

Only let God give you sense and understanding and put you in charge of Israel and the observance of the Teaching of the ETERNAL your God.

az tatsliakh im-tishmor la'asot et-hakhuqqim ve'et-hammishpatim asher tsivvah Adonai et-mosheh al-yisra'el khazaq ve'emats al-tira ve'al-tekhat

Then you shall succeed, if you observantly carry out the laws and the rules that GOD charged Moses to lay upon Israel. Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid or dismayed.

vehinneh ve'onyi hakhinoti levet-Adonai zahav kikkarim me'ah-elef vekhesef elef alafim kikkarim velannekhoshet velabbarzel en mishqal ki larov hayah ve'etsim va'avanim hakhinoti va'alehem tosif

See, by denying myself, I have laid aside for the House of GOD one hundred thousand talents of gold and one million talents of silver, and so much copper and iron it cannot be weighed; I have also laid aside wood and stone, and you shall add to them.

ve'immekha larov ose melakhah khotsevim vekharashe even va'ets vekhol-khakham bekhol-melakhah

An abundance of workers is at your disposal—hewers, workers in stone and wood, and every kind of skilled worker in every kind of material—

lazzahav lakkesef velannekhoshet velabbarzel en mispar qum va'aseh vihi Adonai immakh

gold, silver, copper, and iron without limit. Go and do it, and may GOD be with you.”

vayetsav david lekhol-sare yisra'el lazor lishlomoh veno

David charged all the officers of Israel to support his son Solomon,

halo Adonai elohekhem immakhem veheniakh lakhem missaviv ki natan beyadi et yosheve ha'arets venikhbeshah ha'arets lifne Adonai velifne ammo

“See, the ETERNAL your God is with you and will give you rest on every side—having delivered the inhabitants of the land into my hand so that the land lies conquered before GOD and before this people.

attah tenu levavkhem venafshekhem lidrosh la-Adonai elohekhem vequmu uvenu et-miqdash Adonai ha'elohim lehavi et-aron berit-Adonai ukhele qodesh ha'elohim labbayit hannivneh leshem-Adonai

Now, set your minds and hearts on worshiping the ETERNAL your God, and go build the Sanctuary of the ETERNAL your God so that you may bring the Ark of the Covenant of GOD and the holy vessels of God to the house that is built for the name of GOD.”
