Ang mga Kaloob para sa Templo
29 Ipinahayag(A) ni Haring David sa buong kapulungan, “Ang anak kong si Solomon na pinili ng Diyos upang humalili sa akin ay bata pa at walang sapat na karanasan. Napakalaki ng gawaing kakaharapin niya, sapagkat ang gagawin niya ay hindi isang palasyo para sa tao kundi Templo para sa Panginoong Yahweh. 2 Dahil dito, sinikap kong magtipon ng mga gagamitin para sa Templo ng aking Diyos tulad ng ginto, pilak, tanso, bakal at kahoy. Napakarami ng inihanda kong batong onise at iba pang mahahalagang batong pampalamuti, at lahat ng uri ng mahahalagang bato at marmol. 3 Hindi lang iyan, pati na ang sarili kong pilak at ginto ay inilaan ko na rin sa gawaing ito, sapagkat kasiyahan kong magkaroon ng Templo ang aking Diyos. 4 May nakalaan akong 105,000 kilong ginto na mula pa sa Ofir, at 245,000 kilong purong pilak na ididikit sa mga dingding ng Templo, 5 at sa iba pang bagay na gagawin ng mga mahuhusay na platero. Sino sa inyo ngayon ang kusang-loob na magbibigay para kay Yahweh?”
6 Sumang-ayon agad ang mga pinuno ng mga sambahayan, ang mga pinuno ng mga lipi, ang mga pinuno ng mga hukbo at ang mga katiwala ng hari. 7 Kusang-loob silang nagbigay, at ang natipon para sa gagawing templo ay 175,000 kilong ginto, 350,000 kilong pilak, 630,000 kilong tanso, at 3,500,000 kilong bakal. 8 Ipinagkaloob nila ang kanilang mahahalagang bato sa kabang-yaman ng Templo ni Yahweh na nasa pamamahala ni Jehiel na mula sa angkan ni Gershon. 9 Masayang-masaya ang mga tao sa kanilang mga kusang-loob na panghandog kay Yahweh, at labis din itong ikinatuwa ni Haring David.
Pinuri ni David si Yahweh
10 Sa harapan ng mga tao'y tuwang-tuwa si David na nagpuri kay Yahweh. Sinabi niya, “Purihin kayo magpakailanman, Yahweh, ang Diyos ni Israel na aming ama. 11 Sa(B) inyo ang kadakilaan, ang kapangyarihan, ang karangalan at ang pagtatagumpay sapagkat inyo ang lahat ng nasa langit at nasa lupa. Sa inyo ang kaharian at kayo ang dakila sa lahat. 12 Sa inyo nagmumula ang kayamanan at ang karangalan at kayo ang naghahari sa lahat. Taglay ninyo ang kapangyarihan at kadakilaan, at kayo ang nagbibigay ng lakas at kapangyarihan sa lahat. 13 Pinasasalamatan namin kayo, O Diyos, at pinupuri ang inyong maluwalhating pangalan.
14 “Ngunit sino ako at ang bayang ito? Buong puso kaming nagkakaloob sapagkat ang lahat ng ito ay galing sa inyo at ibinabalik lamang namin. 15 Tulad ng aming mga ninuno, kami nga'y mga dayuhan at naglalakbay lamang. Ang buhay namin sa daigdig na ito ay parang anino at pansamantala lamang. 16 O Yahweh na aming Diyos, ang lahat ng kayamanang ito na aming ibinigay para ipagpagawa ng inyong tahanan ay sa inyo rin nagmula. 17 Alam kong sinasaliksik ninyo ang puso ng bawat tao, at natutuwa kayo sa mga matuwid. O Diyos, buong puso kong ipinagkakaloob sa inyo ang lahat ng ito. Nasaksihan ko rin ang buong puso at may kagalakang pagkakaloob ng inyong bayan na narito ngayon. 18 Yahweh, Diyos nina Abraham, Isaac at Jacob na aming mga ninuno, panatilihin ninyo sa isipan ng inyong bayan ang mga layuning ito, at akayin ninyo silang palapit sa inyo. 19 Tulungan ninyo ang anak kong si Solomon na maging tapat sa pagsunod sa inyong mga utos at tuntunin upang maitayo niya ang Templong aking pinaghandaan.”
20 At sinabi ni David sa sambayanan, “Purihin ninyo ang Diyos ninyong si Yahweh!” Pinuri nga ng buong kapulungan si Yahweh, ang Diyos ng kanilang mga ninuno. Yumuko ang lahat, sumamba kay Yahweh, at nagbigay-galang sa hari. 21 Kinabukasan, ang dinala nilang handog na susunugin ay 1,000 toro, 1,000 tupang lalaki, 1,000 kordero at mga alak na handog, at napakaraming handog para sa buong Israel. 22 Masasaya silang nagsalu-salo sa harapan ni Yahweh noong araw na iyon.
Minsan pa nilang ipinahayag na si Solomon na anak ni David ay hari, at binuhusan ito ng langis sa pangalan ni Yahweh. Si Zadok naman ay hinirang bilang pari. 23 Mula(C) noon, umupo si Solomon sa tronong itinatag ni Yahweh bilang kahalili ng kanyang amang si David. Naging matagumpay siya at sumunod sa kanya ang buong Israel. 24 Nanumpa ng katapatan kay Haring Solomon ang mga pinuno at mandirigma, pati na ang iba pang anak ni Haring David. 25 Binigyan ni Yahweh si Solomon ng dakilang karangalan at katanyagang higit sa mga naging hari sa Israel.
Ang Buod ng Paghahari ni David
26 Si David na anak ni Jesse ay naghari sa buong Israel. 27 Apatnapung(D) taon siyang naghari: pitong taon sa Hebron, at tatlumpu't tatlong taon naman sa Jerusalem. 28 Nabuhay siya nang matagal, at namatay na mayaman at marangal. Si Solomon ang humalili sa kanya bilang hari. 29 Ang lahat ng pangyayari sa buong panahon ng paghahari ni David ay nakasulat sa mga aklat ng mga propetang sina Samuel, Natan at Gad. 30 Sa mga aklat na iyon nakasulat kung paano siya namahala, gaano kalawak ang kanyang kapangyarihan at ang mga nangyari sa kanya sa Israel, at sa lahat ng mga kaharian sa paligid.
1 Chronicles 29
New International Version
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. 2 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) 3 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: 4 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, 5 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?”
6 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) 7 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. 8 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) 9 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.
