1 Chronicles 28 (WEBP)

[1] David assembled all the princes of Israel, the princes of the tribes, the captains of the companies who served the king by division, the captains of thousands, 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.
[2] Then 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 Yahweh’s covenant, and for the footstool of our God; and I had prepared for the building.
[3] But God said to me, ‘You shall not build a house for my name, because you are a man of war and have shed blood.’
[4] However 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.
[5] Of 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.
[6] He 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.
[7] I will establish his kingdom forever if he continues to do my commandments and my ordinances, as it is today.’
[8] Now therefore, in the sight of all Israel, Yahweh’s assembly, 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.
[9] You, 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.
[10] Take heed now, for Yahweh has chosen you to build a house for the sanctuary. Be strong, and do it.”
[11] Then David gave to Solomon his son the plans for the porch of the temple, for its houses, for its treasuries, for its upper rooms, for its inner rooms, for the place of the mercy seat;
[12] and the plans of all that he had by the Spirit, for the courts of Yahweh’s house, for all the surrounding rooms, for the treasuries of God’s house, and for the treasuries of the dedicated things;
[13] also for the divisions of the priests and the Levites, for all the work of the service of Yahweh’s house, and for all the vessels of service in Yahweh’s house—
[14] of 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;
[15] by weight also for the lamp stands of gold, and for its lamps, of gold, by weight for every lamp stand and for its lamps; and for the lamp stands of silver, by weight for every lamp stand and for its lamps, according to the use of every lamp stand;
[16] and the gold by weight for the tables of show bread, for every table; and silver for the tables of silver;
[17] and the forks, 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;
[18] and for the altar of incense, refined gold by weight; and gold for the plans for the chariot, and the cherubim that spread out and cover the ark of Yahweh’s covenant.
[19] “All this”, David said, “I have been made to understand in writing from Yahweh’s hand, even all the works of this pattern.”
[20] David 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 Yahweh’s house is finished.
[21] Behold, there are the divisions of the priests and the Levites for all the service of God’s house. Every willing man who has skill for any kind of service shall be with you in all kinds of work. Also the captains and all the people will be entirely at your command.”

[3] but God said () unto me, Thou shalt not build () an house for my name, because thou hast been a man of war, and hast shed () blood.
[4] Howbeit the Lord God of Israel chose () me before all the house of my father to be king over Israel for ever: for he hath chosen () Judah to be the ruler; and of the house of Judah, the house of my father; and among the sons of my father he liked () me to make me king () over all Israel:
[5] and of all my sons, (for the Lord hath given () me many sons,) he hath chosen () Solomon my son to sit () upon the throne of the kingdom of the Lord over Israel.
[6] And he said () unto 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.
[7] Moreover I will establish () his kingdom for ever, if he be constant () to do () my commandments and my judgments, as at this day.
[8] Now therefore in the sight of all Israel the congregation of the Lord, and in the audience of our God, keep () and seek () for all the commandments of the Lord your God: that ye may possess () this good land, and leave it for an inheritance () for your children after you for ever.
[9] And thou, Solomon my son, know () thou the God of thy father, and serve () him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the Lord searcheth () all hearts, and understandeth () all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek () him, he will be found () of thee; but if thou forsake () him, he will cast thee off () for ever.
[10] Take heed () now; for the Lord hath chosen () thee to build () an house for the sanctuary: be strong, () and do () it.
[11] Then David gave () to Solomon his son the pattern of the porch, and of the houses thereof, and of the treasuries thereof, and of the upper chambers thereof, and of the inner parlours thereof, and of the place of the mercy seat,
[12] and the pattern of all that he had by the spirit, of the courts of the house of the Lord, and of all the chambers round about, of the treasuries of the house of God, and of the treasuries of the dedicated things:
[13] also for the courses of the priests and the Levites, and for all the work of the service of the house of the Lord, and for all the vessels of service in the house of the Lord.
[14] He gave of gold by weight for things of gold, for all instruments of all manner of service; silver also for all instruments of silver by weight, for all instruments of every kind of service:
[15] even the weight for the candlesticks of gold, and for their lamps of gold, by weight for every candlestick, and for the lamps thereof: and for the candlesticks of silver by weight, both for the candlestick, and also for the lamps thereof, according to the use of every candlestick.
[16] And by weight he gave gold for the tables of shewbread, for every table; and likewise silver for the tables of silver:
[17] also pure gold for the fleshhooks, and the bowls, and the cups: and for the golden basons he gave gold by weight for every bason; and likewise silver by weight for every bason of silver:
[18] and for the altar of incense refined () gold by weight; and gold for the pattern of the chariot of the cherubims, that spread out () their wings, and covered () the ark of the covenant of the Lord.
[19] All this, said David, the Lord made me understand () in writing by his hand upon me, even all the works of this pattern.
[20] And David said () to Solomon his son, Be strong () and of good courage, () and do () it: fear () not, nor be dismayed: () for the Lord God, even my God, will be with thee; he will not fail () thee, nor forsake () thee, until thou hast finished () all the work for the service of the house of the Lord.
[21] And, behold, the courses of the priests and the Levites, even they shall be with thee for all the service of the house of God: and there shall be with thee for all manner of workmanship every willing skilful man, for any manner of service: also the princes and all the people will be wholly at thy commandment.

[1] και εξεκκλησιασεν δαυιδ παντας τους αρχοντας ισραηλ αρχοντας των κριτων και τους αρχοντας των εφημεριων των περι το σωμα του βασιλεως και αρχοντας των χιλιαδων και των εκατονταδων και τους γαζοφυλακας και τους επι των υπαρχοντων αυτου και τους δυναστας και τους μαχητας της στρατιας εν ιερουσαλημ
[2] και εστη δαυιδ εν μεσω της εκκλησιας και ειπεν ακουσατε μου αδελφοι και λαος μου εμοι εγενετο επι καρδιαν οικοδομησαι οικον αναπαυσεως της κιβωτου διαθηκης κυριου και στασιν ποδων κυριου ημων και ητοιμασα τα εις την κατασκηνωσιν επιτηδεια
[3] και ο θεος ειπεν ουκ οικοδομησεις εμοι οικον του επονομασαι το ονομα μου επ αυτω οτι ανθρωπος πολεμιστης ει συ και αιματα εξεχεας
[4] και εξελεξατο κυριος ο θεος ισραηλ εν εμοι απο παντος οικου πατρος μου ειναι βασιλεα επι ισραηλ εις τον αιωνα και εν ιουδα ηρετικεν το βασιλειον και εξ οικου ιουδα τον οικον του πατρος μου και εν τοις υιοις του πατρος μου εν εμοι ηθελησεν του γενεσθαι με βασιλεα επι τω παντι ισραηλ
[5] και απο παντων των υιων μου οτι πολλους υιους εδωκεν μοι κυριος εξελεξατο εν σαλωμων τω υιω μου καθισαι αυτον επι θρονου βασιλειας κυριου επι τον ισραηλ
[6] και ειπεν μοι ο θεος σαλωμων ο υιος σου οικοδομησει τον οικον μου και την αυλην μου οτι ηρετικα εν αυτω ειναι μου υιον καγω εσομαι αυτω εις πατερα
[7] και κατορθωσω την βασιλειαν αυτου εως αιωνος εαν ισχυση του φυλαξασθαι τας εντολας μου και τα κριματα μου ως η ημερα αυτη
[8] και νυν κατα προσωπον πασης εκκλησιας κυριου και εν ωσιν θεου ημων φυλαξασθε και ζητησατε πασας τας εντολας κυριου του θεου ημων ινα κληρονομησητε την γην την αγαθην και κατακληρονομησητε τοις υιοις υμων μεθ υμας εως αιωνος
[9] και νυν σαλωμων υιε μου γνωθι τον θεον των πατερων σου και δουλευε αυτω εν καρδια τελεια και ψυχη θελουση οτι πασας καρδιας εταζει κυριος και παν ενθυμημα γιγνωσκει εαν ζητησης αυτον ευρεθησεται σοι και εαν καταλειψης αυτον καταλειψει σε εις τελος
[10] ιδε τοινυν οτι κυριος ηρετικεν σε οικοδομησαι αυτω οικον εις αγιασμα ισχυε και ποιει
[11] και εδωκεν δαυιδ σαλωμων τω υιω αυτου το παραδειγμα του ναου και των οικων αυτου και των ζακχω αυτου και των υπερωων και των αποθηκων των εσωτερων και του οικου του εξιλασμου
[12] και το παραδειγμα ο ειχεν εν πνευματι αυτου των αυλων οικου κυριου και παντων των παστοφοριων των κυκλω των εις τας αποθηκας οικου κυριου και των αποθηκων των αγιων
[13] και των καταλυματων των εφημεριων των ιερεων και των λευιτων εις πασαν εργασιαν λειτουργιας οικου κυριου και των αποθηκων των λειτουργησιμων σκευων της λατρειας οικου κυριου
[14] και τον σταθμον της ολκης αυτων των τε χρυσων και αργυρων
[15] λυχνιων την ολκην εδωκεν αυτω και των λυχνων
[16] εδωκεν αυτω ομοιως τον σταθμον των τραπεζων της προθεσεως εκαστης τραπεζης χρυσης και ωσαυτως των αργυρων
[17] και των κρεαγρων και σπονδειων και των φιαλων των χρυσων και τον σταθμον των χρυσων και των αργυρων κεφφουρε εκαστου σταθμου
