| Language | 1 Chronicles Chapter 22, Verse 5 |
| Cebuano | Ug si David miingon: Si Salomon nga akong anak nga lalake batan-on ug linghod pa ug ang balay nga pagatukoron alang kang Jehova kinahanglang matahum kaayo, sa dungog ug sa himaya sa tibook nga mga kayutaan; busa ako magaandam alang niini. Busa si David nagaandam sa pagkadaghan gayud sa wala pa ang iyang kamatayon. |
| Croatian | Jer David mišljaše: "Moj je sin Salomon mlad i nježan, a Dom koji treba graditi Jahvi mora biti velièanstven, na slavu i èast po svim zemljama. Hajde da mu sve pripravim." I David je pripravio mnogo toga prije svoje smrti. |
| Danish | Thi David tænkte: "Min Søn Salomo er ung og uudviklet, men Huset, som skal bygges HERREN, skal være stort og mægtigt, for at det kan vinde Navnkundighed og Ry i alle Lande; jeg vil træffe Forberedelser for ham." Og David traf store Forberedelser, før han døde. |
| Dutch | Want David zeide: Mijn zoon Salomo is een jongeling en teder; en het huis, dat men den HEERE bouwen zal, zal men ten hoogste groot maken, tot een Naam en tot heerlijkheid in alle landen; ik zal hem nu voorraad bereiden. Alzo bereidde David voorraad in menigte voor zijn dood. |
| Finnish | Sillä Daavid ajatteli: "Minun poikani Salomo on nuori ja hento, ja Herralle rakennettava temppeli on tehtävä ylen suuri, niin että sitä mainitaan ja kiitetään kaikissa maissa. Minä siis hankin hänelle varastot." Niin Daavid hankki ennen kuolemaansa suuret varastot. |
| French | David disait: Mon fils Salomon est jeune et d`un âge faible, et la maison qui sera bâtie à l`Éternel s`élèvera à un haut degré de renommée et de gloire dans tous les pays; c`est pourquoi je veux faire pour lui des préparatifs. Et David fit beaucoup de préparatifs avant sa mort. |
| German | Denn David gedachte: Mein Sohn Salomo ist jung und zart; das Haus aber, das dem HERRN soll gebaut werden, soll groß sein, daß sein Name und Ruhm erhoben werde in allen Landen; darum will ich Vorrat schaffen. Also schaffte David viel Vorrat vor seinem Tode. |
| Haitian Creole | David t'ap di nan kè l': Salomon, pitit gason m' lan, se yon timoun ki poko gen esperyans. Tanp li gen pou l' bati pou Seyè a, se li ki pou pi gwo, pi bèl pase dènye tanp, pou toupatou sou latè y'ap pale sou li. Se pou m' pare tout bagay kite pou li. Se konsa, anvan li mouri, David pare materyo an kantite kite la pou sa. |
| Indonesian-Bahasa Sehari-hari | Daud melakukan semuanya itu karena ia berpikir begini: "Aku harus mempersiapkan apa yang diperlukan untuk pembangunan Rumah TUHAN. Sebab Salomo putraku masih muda dan kurang pengalaman, sedangkan Rumah TUHAN yang akan dibangunnya itu harus sangat megah dan termasyhur di seluruh dunia." Maka sebelum Daud meninggal, ia menyediakan banyak sekali bahan bangunan. |
| Indonesian-Terjemahan Lama | Karena kata Daud: Bahwa anakku Sulaiman itu lagi muda dan lemah lembut, dan rumah yang hendak diperbuat akan Tuhan itu patutlah besar dan tinggi, sehingga ia itu termasyhur dan terpuji-puji dalam segala negeri, maka sebab itu baiklah aku meramu sekarang. Maka Daudpun menyediakan amat banyak ramuan dahulu dari pada matinya. |

| Norwegian | For David tenkte: Min sønn Salomo er ung og vek, og huset som skal bygges for Herren, må gjøres overmåte stort, så det kan være til pris og ære for ham i alle land; jeg vil derfor samle forråd for ham! Så samlet David forråd i mengde, før han døde. |
