1 Chronicles 29

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	Peshitta
1 And king David spoke to the entire assembly: “My son Solomon, the one God has chosen, is still a tender boy. And yet the work is great, for a habitation is being prepared, not for man, but for God.	1 ܘܐܡܪ ܕܘܝܕ ܡܠܟܐ ܠܟܘܠܗܝܢ ܟܢܘܫ̈ܬܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܐܝܠ ܫܠܝܡܘܢ ܗܢܐ ܒܪܝ ܛܠܝܐ ܗܘ ܙܥܘܪܐ ܘܠܗ ܓܒܐ ܡܪܝܐ ܡܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܡܛܠ ܕܛܠܝܐ ܚܟܝܡ ܘܣܟܘܠܬܢ ܗܘ ܘܥܒܝܕܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܕܐܬܝܗܒܬ ܠܗ ܠܐ ܗܘܬ ܙܥܘܪܝܐ ܪܒܐ ܗܝ ܡܛܠ ܕܠܒܪܢܫܐ ܠܐ ܐܬܝܗܒܬ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܬܥܫܢܘ ܘܐܬܓܒܪܘ ܒܗ̇ ܡܛܠ ܕܕܡܪܝܐ ܗܝ ܐܠܗܢ
2 Now with all my ability, I have prepared the expenses for the house of my God: gold for items of gold, and silver for those of silver, brass for those of brass, iron for those of iron, and wood for those of wood, and stones of onyx, and stones like alabaster, and stones of diverse colors, and every kind of precious stone, and marble from Paros in great abundance.	2 ܘܟܠ ܚܝ̈ܠܝ ܘܟܠ ܢܟܣ̈ܝ ܛܝܒܬ ܟܘܠ ܡܕܡ ܕܡܬܒܥܐ ܠܒܝܬܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܝ ܕܗܒܐ ܠܕܗܒܐ ܘܣܐܡܐ ܠܣܐܡܐ ܘܢܚܫܐ ܠܢܚܫܐ ܘܦܪܙܠܐ ܠܦܪܙܠܐ ܘܩܝ̈ܣܐ ܠܩܝ̈ܣܐ ܘܐܪ̈ܙܐ ܠܐܪ̈ܙܐ ܘܟܐ̈ܦܐ ܛܒ̈ܬܐ ܘܡܪ̈ܓܢܝܬܐ
3 And in addition to these things that I have offered into the house of my God, I give, from my own belongings, gold and silver for the temple of my God, aside from those things that I have prepared for the holy shrine:	3 ܘܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܕܡܬܒܥܐ ܠܗ ܠܒܝܬܐ ܛܝܒܬ ܘܬܩܢܬ ܠܗ ܡܢ ܡܣܟܢܘܬܝ ܘܟܣܦܐ ܛܝܒܬ ܠܢܦܩܬܗ ܕܒܝܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܝ ܡܢ ܡܣܟܢܘܬܝ
4 three thousand talents of gold, from the gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of highly-refined silver, for the gilding of the walls of the temple;	4 ܐܠܦ ܐܠܦܝ̈ܢ ܟܟܪ̈ܐ ܕܕܗܒܐ ܡܢ ܕܗܒܐ ܛܒܐ ܬܪܬܝܢ ܙܒܢܝ̈ܢ ܐܠܦ ܐܠܦܝ̈ܢ ܟܟܪ̈ܐ ܕܟܣܦܐ ܠܡܩܪܡ ܐܣ̈ܐ ܕܒܝܬܐ
5 and gold for wherever there is need of gold, and silver for wherever there is need of silver, for the works to be done by the hands of the artisans. And if anyone freely offers, let him fill his hand this day, and let him offer whatever he wishes to the Lord.”	5 ܠܐܝܟܐ ܕܡܬܒܥܐ ܕܗܒܐ ܢܐܙܠ ܕܗܒܐ ܘܠܐܝܟܐ ܕܡܬܒܥܐ ܣܐܡܐ ܢܐܙܠ ܣܐܡܐ ܘܠܟܠܗܝܢ ܥܒ̈ܝܕܬܐ ܕܬܫܠܡ ܥܒܝܕܬܐ ܒܝܪܚܗ̇ ܥܒܝܕܬܐ ܠܐ ܬܫܬܘܚܪ ܐܠܐ ܕܬܫܠܡ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܡܬܒܥܐ ܠܗ̇ ܒܚܘܫܒܢܗ̇
6 And so the leaders of the families, and the nobles of the tribes of Israel, as well as the tribunes and the centurions and the overseers of the king’s possessions, promised	6 ܘܐܬܟܢܫܘ ܪ̈ܘܪܒܢܐ ܕܐܒܗ̈ܬܐ ܘܪ̈ܘܪܒܢܐ ܕܫܒ̈ܛܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܘܪ̈ܘܪܒܢܐ ܕܐ̈ܠܦܐ ܘܕܡܐ̈ܘܬܐ ܘܕܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܫܠܝܛܝܢ ܥܠ ܥܒܝ̈ܕܬܐ ܕܡܠܟܐ
7 and gave, for the works of the house of the Lord, five thousand talents and ten thousand pieces of gold, ten thousand talents of silver, and eighteen thousand talents of brass, and also one hundred thousand talents of iron.	7 ܘܝܗܒܘ ܠܥܒܝ̈ܕܬܐ ܕܒܝܬܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܕܗܒܐ ܟܟܪ̈ܐ ܚܡܫܐ ܐܠܦܝ̈ܢ ܘܐܢܟܐ ܛܒܐ ܠܣܝ̈ܠܘܢܐ ܡܐܬܝܢ ܐܠܦܝ̈ܢ ܘܣܐܡܐ ܟܟܪ̈ܐ ܥܣܪ̈ܝܢ ܐ̈ܠܦܝܢ ܘܢܚܫܐ ܩܘܪܝܢܬܝܐ ܟܟܪ̈ܐ ܫܒܥܝܢ ܐܠܦܝ̈ܢ ܘܦܪܙܠܐ ܡܐܐ ܐܠܦܝ̈ܢ ܟܟܪ̈ܝܢ
8 And whoever found precious stones among their belongings gave them to the treasuries of the house of the Lord, by the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite.	8 ܘܟܣܦܐ ܘܕܗܒܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܡܬܒܥܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܝܗܒܘ ܒܝܬ ܓܙܐ ܕܒܝܬܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܥܠ ܐܝܕܐ ܕܓܪܫܘܢ ܓܙܒܪܐ
9 And the people rejoiced, since they were promising their votive offerings willingly. For they were offering these to the Lord with all their heart. And king David also rejoiced with great gladness.	9 ܘܚܕܝܘ ܟܘܠܗ ܥܡܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܒܡܘ̈ܗܒܬܐ ܟܘܠܗܝܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܒܠܒܐ ܫܠܡܐ ܝܗܒ ܐܢ̈ܝܢ ܕܘܝܕ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܐܦ ܕܘܝܕ ܚܕܝ ܚܕܘܬܐ ܪܒܬܐ ܘܫܒܚ ܬܫܒ̈ܚܬܐ ܪ̈ܘܪܒܬܐ ܠܡܪܝܐ
10 And he blessed the Lord before the entire multitude, and he said: “Blessed are you, O Lord God of Israel, our Father from eternity to eternity.	10 ܘܒܪܟ ܕܘܝܕ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܩܕܡ ܟܘܠܗܝܢ ܟܢܘܫ̈ܬܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܘܐܡܪ ܕܘܝܕ ܒܪܝܟ ܐܢܬ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܗ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܐܒܘܢ ܡܢ ܥܠܡ̈ܐ ܘܥܕܡܐ ܠܥܠܡ̈ܐ
11 Yours, O Lord, is magnificence and power and glory, and also victory; and to you is praise. For all the things that are in heaven and on earth are yours. Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and you are above all rulers.	11 ܡܛܠ ܕܕܝܠܟ ܗܝ ܡܪܝܐ ܪܒܘܬܐ ܘܓܢܒܪܘܬܐ ܘܬܫܒܘܚܬܐ ܘܝܐܝܘܬܐ ܘܗܕܪܐ ܘܐܝܩܪܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܢܬ ܫܠܝܛ ܒܫܡܝܐ ܘܒܐܪܥܐ ܕܝܠܟ ܗܝ ܡܪܝܐ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܘܐܢܬ ܫܠܝܛ ܥܠ ܟܠܡܕܡ ܘܚܟܡܬܐ ܘܓܢܒܪܘܬܐ ܘܐܝܕܥܬܐ
12 Yours is wealth, and yours is glory. You have dominion over all things. In your hand is virtue and power. In your hand is greatness and authority over all things.	12 ܘܥܘܬܪܐ ܘܐܝܩܪܐ ܡܢ ܩܕܡܝܟ ܗܘ ܘܐܢܬ ܫܠܝܛ ܒܟܠܡܕܡ ܘܕܝܠܟ ܗܘ ܚܝܠܐ ܘܓܢܒܪܘܬܐ ܘܐܢܬ ܡܘܪܒ ܘܡܥܫܢ ܠܟܠܗܝܢ ܒܪ̈ܝܬܐ ܕܐܢܬ ܒܪܝܬ
13 Now therefore, we confess to you, our God, and we praise your famous name.	13 ܘܐܦ ܗܫܐ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܢ ܡܘܕܝܢܢ ܠܟ ܘܡܫܒܚܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܠܫܡܐ ܕܪܒܘܬܟ
14 Who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to promise all these things to you? All is yours. And so the things that we received from your hand, we have given to you.	14 ܡܛܠ ܕܡܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܘܡܢܐ ܥܡܝ ܡܛܠ ܕܡܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܡܠܦܢ̈ܝ ܝܠܦܬ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܘܪܚܟ ܕܚ̈ܝܐ ܗܝ ܥܕܪܬܢܝ ܘܐܢܬ ܗܘ ܣܒܪܢ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܢ
15 For we are sojourners and new arrivals before you, as all our fathers were. Our days upon the earth are like a shadow, and there is no delay.	15 ܡܛܠ ܕܚܢܢ ܡܡܬܠܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܒܠܗܓܐ ܕܩܕܪܐ ܘܥܡܘܪ̈ܐ ܚܢܢ ܩܕܡܝܟ ܙܥܘܪܝܢ ܒܥܠܡܐ ܘܐܢܬ ܫܠܛܬ ܒܐܒܗ̈ܬܢ ܩܕܡܝܬ ܘܦܩܕܬ ܐܢܘܢ ܒܐ̇ܝܕܐ ܐܘܪܚܐ ܢܐܙܠܘܢ ܘܢܚܘܢ
16 O Lord our God, all this abundance, which we have prepared so that a house may be built to your holy name, is from your hand, and all things are yours.	16 ܘܚܢܢ ܠܟ ܡܫܒܚܝܢܢ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܢ ܕܬܦܪܩܢ ܡܢ ܟܠ ܕܡܗܪܝܢ ܠܢ ܘܡܚܣܕܝܢ ܠܢ ܥܡ̈ܡܐ ܘܐ̇ܡܪܝܢ ܠܢ ܕܐܝܟܘ ܐܠܗܟܘܢ ܕܦ̇ܠܚܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܗ
17 I know, my God, that you test hearts, and that you love simplicity. Therefore, in the simplicity of my heart, I also have offered all these things joyfully. And I have seen, with immense gladness, your people, who have been found here, offering their donations to you.	17 ܘܝ̇ܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܐܠܗܝ ܕܐܢܬ ܒ̇ܕܩ ܠܒܐ ܘܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܐܢܬ ܪܥ̇ܐ ܘܐܢܐ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܠܒܝ ܫܒܚܬ ܗܠܝܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܘܐܦ ܗܫܐ ܥܡܟ ܕܐܫܬܟܚ ܗܪܟܐ ܚ̇ܙܝܬ ܕܒܚܕܘܬܐ ܪܒܬܐ ܡܫܒܚܝܢ ܠܟ ܘܐܡ̇ܪܝܢ
18 O Lord, the God of our fathers Abraham and Isaac and Israel, preserve unto eternity this desire of their heart, and let this purpose remain forever, for the worship of you.	18 ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܗ ܕܐܒܪܗܡ ܘܕܐܝܣܚܩ ܘܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܐܒ̈ܗܬܢ ܛܪ ܗܠܝܢ ܟܘܠܗܝܢ ܕܐܫܬܘܕܝܬ ܠܢ ܠܥܠܡ ܘܐܦܢܐ ܠܒܢ ܡܢ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܕܠܐ ܢܚܛܐ ܩܕܡܝܟ ܘܐܬܩܢ ܠܒܢ ܠܕܚܠܬܟ ܐܢܐ ܕܘܝܕ ܥܢܝܬ ܘܐܡܪܬ ܗܟܢܐ
19 Also, I give to my son Solomon a perfect heart, so that he may keep your commandments, your testimonies, and your ceremonies, and so that he may accomplish all things, and may build the temple, for which I have prepared the expenses.”	19 ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܝ ܐܦ ܠܫܠܝܡܘܢ ܒܪܝ ܗܒ ܠܒܐ ܫܠܡܐ ܠܡܛܪ ܦܘܩ̈ܕܢܝܟ ܘܣܗ̈ܕܘܬܟ ܘܩܝܡܟ ܘܠܡܥܒܕ ܟܘܠ ܡܕܡ ܕܦܩܕܬ ܘܠܡܒܢܐ ܒܝܬܐ ܕܛܝܒܬ ܡܛܘܠ ܕܢܬܩܕܫ ܫܡܟ ܪܒܐ ܘܢܫܬܒܚ ܒܥܠܡܐ ܕܒܪܝܬ ܩܕܡ ܕ̇ܚ̈ܠܝܟ
20 Then David instructed the entire assembly: “Bless the Lord our God.” And the entire assembly blessed the Lord, the God of their fathers. And they bowed themselves, and they adored God, and next they reverenced the king.	20 ܘܐܡܪ ܕܘܝܕ ܠܟܠܗ ܥܡܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܐܝܠ ܒܪܟܘ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܟܘܢ ܘܒܪܟܘ ܟܠܗ ܥܡܐ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܐܒܗ̈ܬܗܘܢ ܘܢܦܠܘ ܘܣܓܕܘ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܘܒܪܟܘ ܐܦ ܠܡܠܟܐ ܕܘܝܕ
21 And they immolated victims to the Lord. And they offered holocausts on the following day: one thousand bulls, one thousand rams, one thousand lambs, with their libations and with every ritual, very abundantly, for all of Israel.	21 ܘܕܒܚܘ ܕܒܚ̈ܐ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܩܪܒܘ ܥܠܘ̈ܬܐ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܝܐ ܡܢ ܒܬܪ ܝܘܡܐ ܗ̇ܘ ܬܘܪ̈ܐ ܐܠܦ ܘܕܟܪ̈ܐ ܐܠܦ ܘܐܡܪ̈ܐ ܐܠܦ ܘܢܘܩܝܐ ܣܓܝ ܘܐܦ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܒܚܘ ܕܒܚܬܐ ܣܓܝ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܐܝܣܪܐܝܠ ܣܓܝ
22 And they ate and drank before the Lord on that day, with great rejoicing. And they anointed Solomon, the son of David, a second time. And they anointed him to the Lord as the ruler, and Zadok as the high priest.	22 ܘܐܟܠܘ ܘܐܫܬܝܘ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܝܐ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܗ̇ܘ ܒܚܕܘܬܐ ܪܒܬܐ ܘܐܩܝܡܘ ܒܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܠܫܠܝܡܘܢ ܒܪܗ ܕܕܘܝܕ ܘܠܨܕܘܩ ܐܩܝܡܘ ܟܗܢܐ
23 And Solomon sat upon the throne of the Lord as king, in place of his father David, and it pleased everyone. And all of Israel obeyed him.	23 ܘܝܬܒ ܫܠܝܡܘܢ ܥܠ ܟܘܪܣܝ ܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܠܡܩܡ ܒܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܚܠܦ ܕܘܝܕ ܐܒܘܗܝ ܘܐܨܠܚ ܘܐܫܬܡܥ ܠܗ ܟܠܗ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ
24 Moreover, all the leaders, and the powerful, and all the sons of king David pledged with their hand, and they became subject to king Solomon.	24 ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܓܢܒܪ̈ܐ ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܒܢ̈ܘܗܝ ܕܡܠܟܐ ܕܘܝܕ ܐܫܠܡܘ ܠܫܠܝܡܘܢ ܒܪܗ
25 Then the Lord magnified Solomon over all of Israel. And he gave to him a glorious reign, of a kind such as no one has had before him, as king of Israel.	25 ܘܐܘܪܒܗ ܡܪܝܐ ܠܫܠܝܡܘܢ ܠܥܠ ܠܥܝܢ ܟܠܗ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܘܝܗܒ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܙܝܘܐ ܕܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܠܚܕ ܡܢ ܡܠܟ̈ܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܕܗܘܘ ܩܕܡܘܗܝ ܠܐ ܕܡܐ
26 Now David, the son of Jesse, reigned over all of Israel.	26 ܘܕܘܝܕ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܝܫܝ ܐܩܝܡ ܒܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܠܫܠܝܡܘܢ ܒܪܗ ܥܠ ܟܠܗ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ
27 And the days during which he reigned over Israel were forty years. He reigned seven years in Hebron, and thirty-three years in Jerusalem.	27 ܘܝܘܡ̈ܬܐ ܕܩܡ ܕܘܝܕ ܒܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܥܠ ܟܘܠܗ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܐܪ̈ܒܥܝܢ ܫܢ̈ܝܢ ܒܚܒܪܘܢ ܩܡ ܒܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܫܒܥ ܫܢ̈ܝܢ ܘܒܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܩܡ ܒܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܬܠܬܝܢ ܘܬܠܬ ܫܢ̈ܝܢ ܥܠ ܟܘܠܗ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܘܝܗܘܕܐ
28 And he died at a good old age, full of days and wealth and glory. And his son Solomon reigned in his place.	28 ܘܡܝܬ ܕܘܝܕ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܝܫܝ ܒܣܝ̈ܒܘܢ ܛܒ̈ܢ ܣܐܒ ܘܣܒܥ ܝܘܡ̈ܝ ܚܝܘ̈ܗܝ ܘܝܪܒ ܒܥܘܬܪܐ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܘܒܐܝܩܪܗ ܘܩܡ ܒܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܫܠܝܡܘܢ ܒܪܗ ܒܬܪܗ
29 Now the acts of king David, from the first to the last, have been written in the book of Samuel the seer, and in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the book of Gad the seer,	29 ܘܦܬܓ̈ܡܘܗܝ ܕܕܘܝܕ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܩܕܡ̈ܝܐ ܘܐܚܪ̈ܝܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܟܬܝܒܝܢ ܒܦܬܓ̈ܡܘܗܝ ܕܫܡܘܐܝܠ ܢܒܝܐ ܘܒܦܬܓ̈ܡܘܗܝ ܕܢܬܢ ܢܒܝܐ ܘܒܦܬܓ̈ܡܘܗܝ ܕܓܕ ܢܒܝܐ
30 concerning his entire reign and strength, and the times that passed under him, both in Israel and in all the kingdoms of the lands.	30 ܟܠܗ̇ ܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܘܓܢܒܪ̈ܘܬܗ ܘܙܒ̈ܢܐ ܕܥܒܪܘ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܘܥܠ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܘܥܠ ܟܘܠܗ̇ ܡܠܟܘܬ ܐܪܥܗ ܡܛܠ ܕܥܒܕ ܕܘܝܕ ܕܫܦܝܪ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܠܐ ܥܒܪ ܡܢ ܟܠܡܕܡ ܕܦܩܕܗ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܝܘܡ̈ܬܐ ܕܚܝܘ̈ܗܝ
