1 Ruodhi 8

1 Bangʼe Ruoth Solomon noluongo jodong jo-Israel mondo odhi ire Jerusalem gi jodong dhoudi duto gi jotend anywola mag Israel mondo gikel Sandug Muma mar singruok mar Jehova Nyasaye koa Dala Maduongʼ mar Daudi miluongo ni Sayun.

Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel with all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers’ households of the children of Israel, to King Solomon in Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the LORD’s covenant out of David’s city, which is Zion.

2 Jo-Israel duto nochokore kanyakla ir Ruoth Solomon e kinde mag nyasi e dwe mar Ethanim, ma en dwe mar abiriyo.

All the men of Israel assembled themselves to King Solomon at the feast in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month.

3 Kane jodong Israel duto osechopo, jodolo nokawo Sandug Muma,

All the elders of Israel came, and the priests picked up the ark.

4 kendo negikelo Sandug Muma mar Jehova Nyasaye gi Hemb Romo kod gik moko duto maler mane ni e iye. Jodolo kod jo-Lawi notingʼogi,

They brought up the LORD’s ark, the Tent of Meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the Tent. The priests and the Levites brought these up.

5 kendo Ruoth Solomon kod oganda jo-Israel duto mane ochokore molwore nochopo e nyim Sandug Muma; kendo negichiwo rombe kod dhok mangʼeny mane kwan-gi ok nyal ndiki kata kwan kaka misango.

King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, who were assembled to him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and cattle that could not be counted or numbered for multitude.

6 Eka jodolo nokelo Sandug Muma mar singruok mar Jehova Nyasaye kama ne olosne ei kama ler mar lemo mar hekalu ma en Kama Ler Moloyo mi gikete e bwomb kerubi.

The priests brought in the ark of the LORD’s covenant to its place, into the inner sanctuary of the house, to the most holy place, even under the cherubim’s wings.

7 Kerubigo noyaro bwombegi ewi kama noketie Sandug Muma kendo ne giumo Sandug Muma gi ludhe mitingʼego.

For the cherubim spread their wings out over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and its poles above.

8 Ludhegi ne boyo ahinya ma gikogi ne inyalo ne koa e nyim Kama Ler e nyim kama ler mar lemo, to ne ok ginen gi oko mar Kama Ler kendo pod gin kanyo nyaka chil kawuono.

The poles were so long that the ends of the poles were seen from the holy place before the inner sanctuary, but they were not seen outside. They are there to this day.

9 Ne onge gimoro ei Sandug Muma makmana kite ariyo mopa mane Musa oketo e iye kane en Horeb kama Jehova Nyasaye ne otimoe singruok kod jo-Israel kane gisewuok Misri.

There was nothing in the ark except the two stone tablets which Moses put there at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.

10 Kane jodolo osewuok ei Kama Ler, bor polo noimo hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye,

It came to pass, when the priests had come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the LORD’s house,

11 kendo jodolo ne ok nyal tiyo tijegi nikech bor polo nimar duongʼ mar Jehova Nyasaye nopongʼo hekalu.

so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud; for the LORD’s glory filled the LORD’s house.

12 Eka Solomon nowacho niya, “Jehova Nyasaye osewacho ni enodag ei bor polo motimo mudho;

Then Solomon said, “The LORD has said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.

13 adier asegeroni hekalu marahuma kama inidagie nyaka chiengʼ.”

I have surely built you a house of habitation, a place for you to dwell in forever.”

14 Kane oganda jo-Israel duto ochungʼ kanyo, ruoth nolokore mogwedhogi.

The king turned his face around and blessed all the assembly of Israel; and all the assembly of Israel stood.

15 Eka nowacho niya, “Pak obed ne Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach Israel, mosetimo gi lwete gima ne osingo gi dhoge owuon ni Daudi wuonwa.

He said, “Blessed is the LORD, the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David your father, and has with his hand fulfilled it, saying,

16 Nimar nowacho ni, ‘Chakre ndalo mane agolo joga koa Misri, pok ayiero dala maduongʼ e dhoot moro amora mar Israel mondo oger hekalu kanyo ni Nyinga, to aseyiero Daudi mondo otel ni joga Israel.’

‘Since the day that I brought my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house, that my name might be there; but I chose David to be over my people Israel.’

17 “Daudi wuora noketo e chunye mondo oger hekalu moluongo nying Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach Israel.

“Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel.

18 To Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ni Daudi wuora ni, ‘Nitimo maber mondo ibed gi wach gero hekalu ni nyinga e chunyi.

But the LORD said to David my father, ‘Whereas it was in your heart to build a house for my name, you did well that it was in your heart.

19 Kata kamano, in ok niger hekalu, to wuodi, ma en ringri gi rembi iwuon, en ema noger hekalu ni Nyinga.’

Nevertheless, you shall not build the house; but your son who shall come out of your body, he shall build the house for my name.’

20 “Jehova Nyasaye oserito singruok mane otimo: Asekawo loch wuora Daudi kendo asebet e kom loch mar Israel, mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye nosingo, kendo asegero hekalu ni Nying Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach Israel.

The LORD has established his word that he spoke; for I have risen up in the place of David my father, and I sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built the house for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel.

21 Aseloso kar Sandug Muma, moketie singruok mane Jehova Nyasaye otimo kod kwerewa kane ogologi Misri.”

There I have set a place for the ark, in which is the LORD’s covenant, which he made with our fathers when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.”

22 Eka Solomon nochungʼ e nyim kendo mar misango mar Jehova Nyasaye e nyim oganda duto mar jo-Israel, kendo norieyo bedene kochomo polo

Solomon stood before the LORD’s altar in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands toward heaven;

23 kowacho kama: “Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach Israel, onge Nyasaye moro amora machal kodi e polo malo kata e piny mwalo, in e Nyasaye marito singruok mar herane ni jotichne maluwo yoreni gi chunygi duto.

and he said, “LORD, the God of Israel, there is no God like you, in heaven above, or on earth beneath; who keeps covenant and loving kindness with your servants who walk before you with all their heart;

24 Iserito singruokni mane itimo gi jatichni Daudi wuora ne isingori gi dhogi kendo isechopo singruokno gi lweti mana kaka en kawuononi.

who has kept with your servant David my father that which you promised him. Yes, you spoke with your mouth, and have fulfilled it with your hand, as it is today.

25 “Koro Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach Israel rit singruok mane itimo gi jatichni Daudi wuora kiwachone niya, ‘Ok inibed maonge gi ngʼato mobedo e kom loch e nyima e piny Israel, to mana ka yawuoti otimo tim makare e nyima mana kaka isetimo.’

Now therefore, may LORD, the God of Israel, keep with your servant David my father that which you have promised him, saying, ‘There shall not fail from you a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if only your children take heed to their way, to walk before me as you have walked before me.’

26 To koro, yaye Nyasach Israel, yie wach mane isingo ni jatichni Daudi wuora otimre mana kaka ne isingo.

“Now therefore, God of Israel, please let your word be verified, which you spoke to your servant David my father.

27 “To bende Nyasaye nyalo dak e piny? Kata polo malo kata polo mabor moloyo ok nyal romi. To koro hekalu mageroni, to diromi nade!

But will God in very deed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens can’t contain you; how much less this house that I have built!

28 Kata kamano chik iti ni lamo jatichni gi kwayone mar ngʼwono, yaye Jehova Nyasaye Nyasacha. Winji ywak gi lemo ma jatichni lamo e nyimi kawuono.

Yet have respect for the prayer of your servant and for his supplication, LORD my God, to listen to the cry and to the prayer which your servant prays before you today;

29 Mad wangʼi rang hekaluni otieno kod odiechiengʼ, kama niwacho niya, ‘Nyinga nobed kanyo,’ mondo iwinji lemo ma jatichni lamo kochomo odni.

that your eyes may be open toward this house night and day, even toward the place of which you have said, ‘My name shall be there;’ to listen to the prayer which your servant prays toward this place.

30 Winji lamo mar jatichni kaachiel gi jogi Israel ka gilamo ka gichomo odni. Winji gi e polo kar dakni, kendo kiwinjo, to iwenwa richowa.

Listen to the supplication of your servant, and of your people Israel, when they pray toward this place. Yes, hear in heaven, your dwelling place; and when you hear, forgive.

31 “Ka ngʼato oketho ni wadgi kendo dwarore ni mondo okwongʼre kendo obiro mokwongʼore e nyim kendo mar misango manie hekaluni,

“If a man sins against his neighbor, and an oath is laid on him to cause him to swear, and he comes and swears before your altar in this house,

32 to iwinji gi e polo kendo itim kaka owinjore. Ngʼad bura e kind jotichni, kikumo joketho kendo iket richogi e wigi bende joma onge ketho iket kare kaluwore gi timgi makare.

then hear in heaven, and act, and judge your servants, condemning the wicked, to bring his way on his own head, and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.

33 “Ka jogi Israel olo e lweny gi jowasikgi nikech gisekethoni, to bangʼe gilokore mi gipako nyingi, ka gilamo kendo gikwayo e hekaluni,

“When your people Israel are struck down before the enemy because they have sinned against you, if they turn again to you and confess your name, and pray and make supplication to you in this house,

34 to iwinjgi gi e polo kendo iwe richo jogi Israel kendo iduog-gi e piny mane imiyo kweregi.

then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of your people Israel, and bring them again to the land which you gave to their fathers.

35 “Ka polo olor kendo koth onge nikech jogi osekethoni to ka gilemo kaeni ka gipako nyingi kendo ka gilokore giweyo richogi nikech isekelonegi chandruok,

“When the sky is shut up and there is no rain because they have sinned against you, if they pray toward this place and confess your name, and turn from their sin when you afflict them,

36 to yie mondo iwinjgi gie polo kendo iwene jotichni ma jo-Israel richogi. Puonjgi yo makare mar dak kendo iornegi koth e piny mane imiyo jogi kaka girkeni margi.

then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of your servants, and of your people Israel, when you teach them the good way in which they should walk; and send rain on your land which you have given to your people for an inheritance.

37 “Ka kech kata dera omako piny, kata ka abach omako cham ewi dongo kata ka bonyo kata kungu kata ka jowasigu olworo miechgi madongo kata ka midekre kata tuo omakogi,

“If there is famine in the land, if there is pestilence, if there is blight, mildew, locust or caterpillar; if their enemy besieges them in the land of their cities, whatever plague, whatever sickness there is,

38 to ka ngʼato kuom jogi ma jo-Israel olemo kata okwayi, ka gingʼeyo gima chando chunygi kendo ka girieyo bedegi kochomo hekaluni,

whatever prayer and supplication is made by any man, or by all your people Israel, who shall each know the plague of his own heart, and spread out his hands toward this house,

39 to yie iwinji gie polo, kama idakie. Wenegi richogi kendo tim ne ngʼato ka ngʼato gima owinjore gi gik motimo nikech ingʼeyo chunygi (nikech in kendi ema ingʼeyo chuny dhano),

then hear in heaven, your dwelling place, and forgive, and act, and give to every man according to all his ways, whose heart you know (for you, even you only, know the hearts of all the children of men);

40 mondo omi gilwori ndalogi duto ma gin-go e piny mane imiyo kwerewa.

that they may fear you all the days that they live in the land which you gave to our fathers.

41 “To kuom jadak ma ok achiel kuom jogi Israel moa e piny mabor nikech nyingi,

“Moreover, concerning the foreigner, who is not of your people Israel, when he comes out of a far country for your name’s sake

42 nimar ji biro winjo humb nyingi maduongʼ gi mar lweti maratego kod badi marabora moriere, ka gibiro ma gilemo ka gichomo hekaluni

(for they shall hear of your great name and of your mighty hand and of your outstretched arm), when he comes and prays toward this house,

43 to yie mondo iwinji gie polo kama idakie kendo tim gimoro amora ma jadakno okwayi, mondo ogendini duto mag piny ongʼe nyingi kendo oluori mana kaka jogi Israel, kendo mondo gingʼe ni ot ma asegeroni luongo nyingi.

hear in heaven, your dwelling place, and do according to all that the foreigner calls to you for; that all the peoples of the earth may know your name, to fear you, as do your people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by your name.

44 “Ka jogi odhi kedo gi jowasikgi, kamoro amora ma ibiro orogie, ka gilamo Jehova Nyasaye ka gichomo dalani miseyiero kendo hekalu masegero maluongo nyingi;

“If your people go out to battle against their enemy, by whatever way you shall send them, and they pray to the LORD toward the city which you have chosen, and toward the house which I have built for your name,

45 to yie iwinji gie polo lamogi kod kwayogi kendo konygi.

then hear in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.

46 “To ka giketho e nyimi, nimar onge ngʼato kata achiel ma ok jaketho mi ikecho kodgi, kendo ichiwogi e lwet wasikgi mondo otergi e twech e piny wasikgigo, kuma bor kata machiegni;

If they sin against you (for there is no man who doesn’t sin), and you are angry with them and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captive to the land of the enemy, far off or near;

47 to eka bangʼe giloko pachgi e piny motwegieno mi chunygi olokore giweyo richo, kendo gikwayi ka gin e piny wasikgi niya, ‘Wasetimo richo kendo waseketho bende wasetimo tim mamono.’

yet if they repent in the land where they are carried captive, and turn again, and make supplication to you in the land of those who carried them captive, saying, ‘We have sinned and have done perversely; we have dealt wickedly,’

48 Kendo ka gidwogo iri gi chunygi duto kod ngimagi duto, e piny wasikgi mane otweyogieno, kendo gilami ka gichomo pinygi mane imiyo kweregi, kod dala mane iyiero, gi hekalu ma asegero ni nyingi;

if they return to you with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their enemies who carried them captive, and pray to you toward their land which you gave to their fathers, the city which you have chosen and the house which I have built for your name,

49 to yie mondo iwinj lemogi gi kwayogi gie polo kama idakie kendo ikonygi.

then hear their prayer and their supplication in heaven, your dwelling place, and maintain their cause;

50 Yie iwe ni jogi mosetimo richo e nyimi, wenegi kethogi duto magisetimo e nyimi kendo mi joma ne omakogi okechgi.

and forgive your people who have sinned against you, and all their transgressions in which they have transgressed against you; and give them compassion before those who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them

51 Nimar gin jogi kendo mwanduni mane igolo e piny Misri, kigologi kama mae kakni ka kama ithedhe nyinyo.

(for they are your people and your inheritance, which you brought out of Egypt, from the middle of the iron furnace);

52 “Yie wangʼi one kwayo jatichni kod kwayo mag jogi Israel, bende yie iwinjgi kinde moro amora ma giywaknie.

that your eyes may be open to the supplication of your servant and to the supplication of your people Israel, to listen to them whenever they cry to you.

53 Nimar niyierogi e kind ogendini duto mag piny mondo gibed girkeni, mana kaka ninyiso jatichni Musa kane igolo kwerewa e piny Misri; yaye Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto.”

For you separated them from among all the peoples of the earth to be your inheritance, as you spoke by Moses your servant, when you brought our fathers out of Egypt, Lord GOD.”

54 Kane Solomon osetieko lamogi duto kod kwayogi ni Jehova Nyasaye, nochungʼ oa e nyim kendo mar misango mar Jehova Nyasaye, kama nogoyoe chonge kotingʼo bade kochomo polo.

It was so, that when Solomon had finished praying all this prayer and supplication to the LORD, he arose from before the LORD’s altar, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread out toward heaven.

55 Nochungʼ mogwedho chokruok duto mar Israel gi dwol maduongʼ kowacho niya,

He stood and blessed all the assembly of Israel with a loud voice, saying,

56 “Pak obed ni Jehova Nyasaye mosemiyo joge Israel kwe mana kaka nosingo. Onge kata mana wach achiel ma ok osechopo kuom gik moko duto mabeyo mane ochiwo kuom jatichne Musa.

“Blessed be the LORD, who has given rest to his people Israel, according to all that he promised. There has not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by Moses his servant.

57 Mad Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa obed kodwa mana kaka nobedo gi kwerewa, mad kik owewa kata jwangʼowa.

May the LORD our God be with us as he was with our fathers. Let him not leave us or forsake us,

58 Mad olok chunywa ire, mondo wawuoth e yorene duto kendo wamak chikene gi puonjne kod buchene mane omiyo kwerewa.

that he may incline our hearts to him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, his statutes, and his ordinances, which he commanded our fathers.

59 Kendo mad wechenagi maselamo e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, obed machiegni gi Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa odiechiengʼ gotieno, mondo okony jatichne kendo okony joge Israel kaluwore gi dwaro mar odiechiengʼ kodiechiengʼ;

Let these my words, with which I have made supplication before the LORD, be near to the LORD our God day and night, that he may maintain the cause of his servant and the cause of his people Israel, as every day requires;

60 mondo ji duto manie piny ongʼe ni Jehova Nyasaye e Nyasaye kendo ni onge moro.

that all the peoples of the earth may know that the LORD himself is God. There is no one else.

61 To chunyu nyaka chiwre chuth ni Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa kudak moluwore gi yorene kendo kurito chikene kaka e kindeni.”

“Let your heart therefore be perfect with the LORD our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as it is today.”

62 Eka ruoth kod jo-Israel duto mane ni kode nochiwo misengini e nyim Jehova Nyasaye.

The king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifice before the LORD.

63 Solomon nochiwo misango mag lalruok ni Jehova Nyasaye: kwan-gi ne romo dhok alufu piero ariyo gi ariyo kod rombe gi diek maromo alufu mia achiel gi piero ariyo. Kamano ruoth kod jo-Israel duto nowalo hekalu ni Jehova Nyasaye.

Solomon offered for the sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered to the LORD, twenty two thousand head of cattle and one hundred twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the LORD’s house.

64 Chiengʼono ruoth nopwodho dier laru mane nitie e nyim hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye kendo kanyo nochiwoe misengini miwangʼo pep gi cham michiwo kod bor misango mar lalruok, nikech kendo mar misango mar mula mantie e nyim Jehova Nyasaye ne tin ahinya mane ok nyal tingʼo misangogo duto, kaka misango miwangʼo pep gi mag cham kod mag sawo.

The same day the king made the middle of the court holy that was before the LORD’s house; for there he offered the burnt offering, the meal offering, and the fat of the peace offerings, because the bronze altar that was before the LORD was too little to receive the burnt offering, the meal offering, and the fat of the peace offerings.

65 Kamano Solomon notimo sawo e kindeno kaachiel gi jo-Israel duto mane ni kode chokruok maduongʼ miwuoro kotingʼo joma oa Lebo Hamath nyaka Wadi man Misri. Negitimo nyasino e nyim Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa kuom ndalo abiriyo kendo gichak gimedo ndalo abiriyo mamoko duto ne gin ndalo apar gangʼwen.

So Solomon held the feast at that time, and all Israel with him, a great assembly, from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of Egypt, before the LORD our God, seven days and seven more days, even fourteen days.

66 Kinyne nomiyo ji thuolo mar ke. Negigwedho ruoth mi gidhi e miechgi, ka gimor kendo giil e chunygi nikech gik moko duto mabeyo mane Jehova Nyasaye osetimo ni jatichne Daudi kod joge Israel.

On the eighth day he sent the people away; and they blessed the king, and went to their tents joyful and glad in their hearts for all the goodness that the LORD had shown to David his servant, and to Israel his people.
