And King David said to all the assembly, “My son Solomon, whom alone God has chosen, is still young and inexperienced and the work is great; for the [a]temple is not for man but for the Lord God.
Furthermore David the king said unto all the congregation, Solomon my son, whom alone God hath chosen, is yet young and tender, and the work is great: for the palace is not for man, but for the Lord God.
1-5 Then David the king addressed the congregation: “My son Solomon was singled out and chosen by God to do this. But he’s young and untested and the work is huge—this is not just a place for people to meet each other, but a house for God to meet us. I’ve done my best to get everything together for building this house for my God, all the materials necessary: gold, silver, bronze, iron, lumber, precious and varicolored stones, and building stones—vast stockpiles. Furthermore, because my heart is in this, in addition to and beyond what I have gathered, I’m turning over my personal fortune of gold and silver for making this place of worship for my God: 3,000 talents (about 113 tons) of gold—all from Ophir, the best—and 7,000 talents (214 tons) of silver for covering the walls of the buildings, and for the gold and silver work by craftsmen and artisans.“And now, how about you? Who among you is ready and willing to join in the giving?” 6-8 Ready and willing, the heads of families, leaders of the tribes of Israel, commanders and captains in the army, stewards of the king’s affairs, stepped forward and gave willingly. They gave 5,000 talents (188 tons) and 10,000 darics (185 pounds) of gold, 10,000 talents of silver (377 tons), 18,000 talents of bronze (679 tons), and 100,000 talents (3,775 tons) of iron. Anyone who had precious jewels put them in the treasury for the building of The Temple of God in the custody of Jehiel the Gershonite.
Then King David said to the entire assembly, “My son Solomon, whom alone God has chosen, is still young and inexperienced and the work is great; for the [a]temple is not for man, but for the Lord God.
Then King David spoke to the whole community. He said, “God has chosen my son Solomon. But Solomon is young. He’s never done anything like this before. The task is huge. This grand and wonderful temple won’t be built for human beings. It will be built for the Lord God.
Then King David said to the whole assembly: “My son Solomon, the one whom God has chosen, is young and inexperienced. The task is great, because this palatial structure is not for man but for the Lord God.
Then King David said to the whole assembly: ‘My son Solomon, the one whom God has chosen, is young and inexperienced. The task is great, because this palatial structure is not for man but for the Lord God.
Then King David turned to the entire assembly and said, “My son Solomon, whom God has clearly chosen as the next king of Israel, is still young and inexperienced. The work ahead of him is enormous, for the Temple he will build is not for mere mortals—it is for the Lord God himself!

وَقَالَ دَاوُدُ الْمَلِكُ لِكُلِّ الْجَمْعِ الْحَاضِرِ: «إِنَّ ابْنِي سُلَيْمَانَ الَّذِي اصْطَفَاهُ اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لايَزَالُ صَغِيراً غَضّاً، وَالْعَمَلُ الْمَطْلُوبُ ضَخْمٌ، لأَنَّ الْهَيْكَلَ لَيْسَ لإِنْسَانٍ بَلْ لِلرَّبِّ الإِلَهِ.

Henvendt til hele forsamlingen sagde David: „Min søn Salomon, som Gud har udvalgt til at efterfølge mig på Israels trone, er endnu ung og uerfaren. Den opgave, der er ham betroet, er stor, for det er ikke et palads til et menneske, han skal bygge, men Herrens eget hus!

Danach wandte David sich wieder an die Versammelten und sagte: »Gott hat meinen Sohn Salomo zu meinem Nachfolger erwählt. Aber er ist noch jung und unerfahren, und vor ihm liegt eine große Aufgabe. Denn er soll nicht einen Palast für Menschen bauen, sondern einen Tempel für Gott, den Herrn.

Puis le roi David dit à toute l’assemblée : Mon fils Salomon, le seul que Dieu ait choisi, est jeune et inexpérimenté, alors que l’ouvrage est immense, car ce n’est pas pour un homme qu’il s’agit de construire un palais, mais bien pour l’Eternel Dieu.

Dayon nagsiling si Haring David sa bug-os nga katilingban sang Israel, “Si Solomon nga akon anak nga ginpili sang Dios bataon pa kag wala sing eksperiensya. Dako ang buluhaton, kay ang patindugon nga bilding indi para sa tawo kundi para sa Ginoong Dios.

그런 다음 다윗왕은 모든 군중을 향해 말하였다. “하나님께서 이스라 엘의 왕으로 택하신 내 아들 솔로몬은 아직 어리고 경험이 없는데 그가 해야 할 일은 너무나 막중합니다. 이것은 그가 지어야 할 성전이 사람을 위한 것이 아니라 여호와 하나님을 위한 것이기 때문입니다.

David wendde zich tot het volk en zei: ‘Mijn zoon Salomo, die God tot volgende koning van Israël heeft gekozen, is nog jong en onervaren en de taak die voor hem ligt, is zwaar. De tempel die hij gaat bouwen, is namelijk niet zomaar een gebouw, het is bedoeld voor de Here God.

Então o rei Davi disse a toda a assembléia: “Deus escolheu meu filho Salomão, e mais ninguém. Mas ele é jovem e inexperiente e a tarefa é grande, pois o palácio não será feito para homens, mas para o Senhor, o nosso Deus.
David voltou-se depois para toda a assembleia: “O meu filho Salomão, que Deus escolheu para ser o próximo rei de Israel, ainda é novo e inexperiente e a tarefa que está à sua frente é enorme, porque o templo que terá de construir não é uma edificação qualquer; é algo a ser dedicado ao Senhor Deus!

Apoi regele David a zis întregii adunări:„Fiul meu Solomon, singurul pe care l-a ales Dumnezeu, este tânăr şi plăpând, iar lucrarea este atât de mare, căci Templul[a] nu este pentru un om, ci pentru Însuşi Domnul Dumnezeu.
