And David assembled all the princes of Yisra᾽el, the princes of the tribes, and the captains of the companies that served the king by divisions, and the captains over the thousands, and captains over the hundreds, and the stewards over all the property and possessions of the king, and of his sons, with the officers, and with the mighty men, and with all the men at arms to Yerushalayim.

And David assembled all the officers of Israel: the officers of the tribes and the officers of the divisions ministering unto the king, and the officers of the thousands, and the officers of the hundreds and the officers of all the property and the livestock of the king and his sons, with the eunuchs and the stalwarts and all the men of valor, in Jerusalem.

Then David the king stood up upon his feet, and said, Hear me, my brethren, and my people: As for me, I had it in my heart to build a house of rest for the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and for the footstool of our God, and I had made ready for building:

And King David rose to his feet and said: Hear me, my brothers and my people. It is in my heart to build a house of rest for the ark of the L-rd and for the footstool of our G-d, and I have prepared [all that is needed] to build (it).

but God said to me, Thou shalt not build a house for my name, because thou hast been a man of battles, and hast shed blood.

But G-d said to me: Do not build a house to My name, for you are a man of war and you have spilled blood.

Yet the Lord God of Yisra᾽el chose me before all the house of my father to be king over Yisra᾽el forever: for he has chosen Yehuda to be the ruler; and out of the house of Yehuda, the house of my father; and among the sons of my father he took pleasure in me to make me king over all Yisra᾽el:

And the L-rd G-d of Israel chose me of all of my father's house to be king over Israel forever. For in Judah He chose a leader; and in the house of Judah, my father's house; and of the sons of my father, me did He want to make king over Israel.

and of all my sons, (for the Lord has given me many sons), he has chosen Shelomo my son to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of the Lord over Yisra᾽el.

And of all of my sons (for many sons did the L-rd give me) He chose Solomon my son to sit on the throne of the kingdom of the L-rd over Israel.

And he said to me, Shelomo thy son, he shall build my house and my courts: for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be a father to him.

And He said to me: Solomon your son, he will build My house and My courts. For I have chosen him for Me as a son, and I shall be to him as a Father.

Moreover I will establish his kingdom forever, if he be constant to do my commandments and my judgments, as at this day.

And I have established his kingdom forever if he will strengthen himself to do My mitzvoth and My judgments as of this day.

Now therefore in the sight of all Yisra᾽el the congregation of the Lord, and in the hearing of our God, observe and seek out all the commandments of the Lord your God: that you may possess this good land, and leave it for an inheritance for your children after you forever.

And now, before the eyes of all of Israel, the congregation of the L-rd [(I exhort you:)] Keep and seek all the mitzvoth of the L-rd your G-d so that you inherit the good land and so that you bequeath it to your sons after you forever.

And thou, Shelomo my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the Lord searches all hearts, and understands all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found by thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off forever.

And you, Solomon, my son, know the G-d of your father and serve Him with a whole heart and with a willing spirit. For the L-rd seeks out all hearts and He understands the inclination of all thoughts. If you seek Him, He will be found for you; and if you leave Him, He will forsake you forever.

Take heed now; for the Lord has chosen thee to build a house for the sanctuary: be strong, and do it.

See, now, that the L-rd has chosen you to build a house as a sanctuary [for Him]. Be strong and do!

Then David gave to Shelomo his son the pattern of the porch, and of its houses and of its treasuries, and of its upper chambers, and of its inner rooms, and of the place of the ark with its covering,

And David gave to Solomon his son the plans for the Ulam [(the entrance hall)] and its houses and its treasuries and its upper stories and its inner chambers and the house of the ark cover [i.e., the holy of holies].

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 holy things:

And the plans of all that was with him by the [Holy] Spirit, for the courts of the house of the L-rd and for all the chambers roundabout, for the treasuries of the house of G-d [(for Temple maintenance)] and for the treasuries of the holies [i.e., for communal sacrifices].

also for the divisions 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.

And for the divisions of the priests and the Levites and for the work of the service of the house of the L-rd and for all the vessels of the service of the house of the L-rd.

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:

For gold: the weight of the gold for all of the vessels by their respective service. For all of the silver vessels, by weight, for all of the vessels by their respective service.

both the weight for the candlesticks of gold, and for their lamps of gold, by weight for every candlestick, and for its lamps: and for the candlesticks of silver by weight, for the candlestick, and for its lamps, according to the use of every candlestick.

And the weight [of gold] for the golden candelabra and their golden lamps, by the weight of each candelabrum and its lamps. And for the silver candelabra, by weight, for the candelabrum and its lamps, according to the respective service of each candelabrum.

And by weight he gave gold for the tables of showbread, for every table; and likewise silver for the tables of silver:

And the gold, the weight for the showbread tables for each table and silver for the silver tables.

also pure gold for the forks, and the basins, and the jars: and for the golden bowls by weight for every bowl; and likewise by weight for every bowl of the silver bowls:

And (for) the forks and the basins and the staves, of pure gold. And for the golden cups, by weight, for each cup; and for the silver cups, by weight, for each cup.

and for the altar of incense refined gold by weight; and gold for the pattern of the chariot, that is the keruvim, that spread out their wings, and cover the ark of the covenant of the Lord.

And for the incense altar, refined gold, by weight. And for the design of the chariot, the cherubs of gold, spreading out (their wings) and covering the ark of the covenant of the L-rd, all the works of the plan.

All this, said he, is put in writing by the hand of the Lord who instructed me, all the works of this pattern.

All in writing, imparted to me by the hand of the L-rd, all the works of the plan.

And David said to Shelomo his son, Be strong and of good courage, and do it: do not fear, or be dismayed: for the Lord God, my God, will be with thee; he will not fail thee, or forsake thee, until thou hast finished all the work for the service of the house of the Lord.

And David said to Solomon his son: Be strong and firm and do. Do not fear and do not break. For the L-rd G-d, my G-d is with you. He will not let go of you and will not leave you until the completion of all the work of the service of the house of the L-rd.

And, behold, the divisions of the priests and the Levites, 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.

And, behold, the divisions of the priests and the Levites for all the service of the house of G-d. And with you, in every (kind of) work, all who volunteer (their services) in wisdom for every (kind of) service. And the officers and the whole people (are at your service) for all that you bid.
