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 doth Solomon assemble the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, princes of the fathers of the sons of Israel, unto king Solomon, to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah from the city of David — it [is] Zion;

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

and all the men of Israel are assembled unto king Solomon, in the month of Ethanim, in the festival — [is] the seventh month.

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

And all the elders of Israel come in, and the priests lift 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,

and bring up the ark of Jehovah, and the tent of meeting, and all the holy vessels that [are] in the tent, yea, the priests and the Levites bring them 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.

And king Solomon and all the company of Israel who are met unto him [are] with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that are not counted nor 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.

And the priests bring in the ark of the covenant of Jehovah unto its place, unto the oracle of the house, unto the holy of holies, unto the place of the wings of the cherubs;

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

for the cherubs are spreading forth two wings unto the place of the ark, and the cherubs cover over the ark, and over its staves from 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.

and they lengthen the staves, and the heads of the staves are seen from the holy [place] on the front of the oracle, and are not seen without, and they are there unto 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 is nothing in the ark, only the two tables of stone which Moses put there in Horeb, when Jehovah covenanted with the sons of Israel in their going out of the land of Egypt.

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

And it cometh to pass, in the going out of the priests from the holy [place], that the cloud hath filled the house of Jehovah,

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

and the priests have not been able to stand to minister because of the cloud, for the honour of Jehovah hath filled the house of Jehovah.

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

Then said Solomon, 'Jehovah hath said to dwell in thick darkness;

13 adier asegeroni hekalu marahuma kama inidagie nyaka chiengʼ.”

I have surely built a house of habitation for Thee; a fixed place for Thine abiding to the ages.'

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

And the king turneth round his face, and blesseth the whole assembly of Israel; and all the assembly of Israel is standing.

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

And he saith, 'Blessed [is] Jehovah, God of Israel, who spake by His mouth with David my father, and by His hand hath 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.’

From the day that I brought out My people, even Israel, from Egypt, I have not fixed on a city out of all the tribes of Israel, to build a house for My name being there; and I fix on David to be over My people Israel.

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

'And it is with the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of Jehovah, God of Israel,

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

and Jehovah saith unto David my father, Because that it hath been with thy heart to build a house for My name, thou hast done well that it hath been with thy heart;

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

only, thou dost not build the house, but thy son who is coming out from thy loins, he doth 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.

'And Jehovah doth establish His word which He spake, and I am risen up instead of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as Jehovah spake, and build the house for the name of Jehovah, God of Israel,

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

and set there a place for the ark, where [is] the covenant of Jehovah which He made with our fathers in His bringing them out from 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

And Solomon standeth before the altar of Jehovah, over-against all the assembly of Israel, and spreadeth his hands towards the heavens,

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 saith, 'Jehovah, God of Israel, there is not a God like Thee, in the heavens above, and on the earth beneath, keeping the covenant and the kindness for Thy servants, those walking before Thee 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 hast kept for Thy servant David my father that which Thou spakest to him; yea, Thou speakest with Thy mouth, and with Thy hand hast fulfilled [it], as [at] this day.

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.’

'And now, Jehovah, God of Israel, keep for Thy servant David my father that which Thou spakest to him, saying, There is not cut off to thee a man from before Me, sitting on the throne of Israel — only, if thy sons watch their way, to walk before Me as thou hast walked before Me.

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

'And now, O God of Israel, let it be established, I pray Thee, Thy word which Thou hast spoken to Thy 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, is it true? — God dwelleth on the earth! lo, the heavens, and the heavens of the heavens do not contain Thee, how much less this house which I have builded!

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.

'Then thou hast turned unto the prayer of Thy servant, and unto his supplication, O Jehovah my God, to hearken unto the cry and unto the prayer which Thy servant is praying before Thee to-day,

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

for Thine eyes being open towards this house night and day, towards the place of which Thou hast said, My Name is there; to hearken unto the prayer which Thy servant prayeth towards 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.

'Then Thou hast hearkened unto the supplication of Thy servant, and of Thy people Israel, which they pray towards this place; yea, Thou dost hearken in the place of Thy dwelling, in the heavens — and Thou hast hearkened, and hast forgiven,

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

that which a man sinneth against his neighbour, and he hath lifted up upon him an oath to cause him to swear, and the oath hath come in before Thine 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 Thou dost hear in the heavens, and hast done, and hast judged Thy servants, to declare wicked the wicked, to put his way on his head, and to declare righteous 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,

'In Thy people Israel being smitten before an enemy, because they sin against Thee, and they have turned back unto Thee, and have confessed Thy name, and prayed, and made supplication unto Thee in this house,

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

then thou dost hear in the heavens, and hast forgiven the sin of Thy people Israel, and brought them back unto the ground that Thou gavest 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,

'In the heavens being restrained, and there is no rain, because they sin against Thee, and they have prayed towards this place, and confessed Thy name, and from their sin turn back, for Thou dost 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 Thou dost hear in the heavens, and hast forgiven the sin of Thy servants, and of Thy people Israel, for Thou directest them the good way in which they go, and hast given rain on Thy land which Thou hast given to Thy people for 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,

'Famine — when it is in the land; pestilence — when it is; blasting, mildew, locust; caterpillar — when it is; when its enemy hath distressed it in the land [in] its gates, any plague, any sickness, —

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

any prayer, any supplication that [is] of any man of all Thy people Israel, who know each the plague of his own heart, and hath spread his hands towards 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 Thou dost hear in the heavens, the settled place of Thy dwelling, and hast forgiven, and hast done, and hast given to each according to all his ways, whose heart Thou knowest, (for Thou hast known — Thyself alone — the heart of all the sons of man),

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

so that they fear Thee all the days that they are living on the face of the ground that Thou hast given to our fathers.

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

'And also, unto the stranger who is not of Thy people Israel, and hath come from a land afar off for Thy 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 hear of Thy great name, and of Thy strong hand, and of Thy stretched-out arm) — and he hath come in and prayed towards 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.

Thou dost hear in the heavens, the settled place of Thy dwelling, and hast done according to all that the stranger calleth unto Thee for, in order that all the peoples of the earth may know Thy name, to fear Thee like Thy people Israel, and to know that Thy name hath been called on this house which I have builded.

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;

'When Thy people doth go out to battle against its enemy, in the way that Thou dost send them, and they have prayed unto Jehovah the way of the city which thou hast fixed on, and of the house which I have builded for Thy name;

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

then Thou hast heard in the heavens their prayer and their supplication, and hast maintained 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;

'When they sin against Thee (for there is not a man who sinneth not), and Thou hast been angry with them, and hast given them up before an enemy, and they have taken captive their captivity unto 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.’

and they have turned [it] back unto their heart in the land whither they have been taken captive, and have turned back, and made supplication unto Thee, in the land of their captors, saying, We have sinned and done perversely — we have done 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;

yea, they have turned back unto Thee, with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their enemies who have taken them captive, and have prayed unto Thee the way of their land, which Thou gavest to their fathers, the city which Thou hast chosen, and the house which I have builded for Thy name:

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

'Then Thou hast heard in the heavens, the settled place of Thy dwelling, their prayer and their supplication, and hast maintained their cause,

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

and hast forgiven Thy people who have sinned against Thee, even all their transgressions which they have transgressed against Thee, and hast given them mercies before their captors, and they have had mercy [on] them —

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

(for Thy people and Thy inheritance [are] they, whom Thou didst bring out of Egypt, out of the midst of the furnace of iron) —

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

for Thine eyes being open unto the supplication of Thy servant, and unto the supplication of Thy people Israel, to hearken unto them in all they call unto Thee for;

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 Thou hast separated them to Thyself for an inheritance, out of all the peoples of the earth, as Thou didst speak by the hand of Moses Thy servant, in Thy bringing out our fathers from Egypt, O Lord Jehovah.'

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.

And it cometh to pass, at Solomon's finishing to pray unto Jehovah all this prayer and supplication, he hath risen from before the altar of Jehovah, from bending on his knees, and his hands spread out to the heavens,

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

and he standeth and blesseth 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 [is] Jehovah who hath given rest to His people Israel, according to all that He hath spoken; there hath not fallen one word of all His good word, which He spake by the hand of Moses his servant.

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

'Jehovah our God is with us as He hath been with our fathers; He doth not forsake us nor leave us;

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

to incline our heart unto Himself, to walk in all His ways, and to keep His commands, and His statutes, and His judgments, 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;

and these my words with which I have made supplication before Jehovah, are near unto Jehovah our God by day and by night, to maintain the cause of His servant, and the cause of His people Israel, the matter of a day in its day;

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

for all the peoples of the earth knowing that Jehovah, He [is] God; there is none else;

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

and your heart hath been perfect with Jehovah our God, to walk in His statutes, and to keep His commands, as [at] this day.'

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

And the king and all Israel with him are sacrificing a sacrifice before Jehovah;

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.

and Solomon sacrificeth the sacrifice of peace-offerings, which he hath sacrificed to Jehovah, oxen, twenty and two thousand, and sheep, a hundred and twenty thousand; and the king and all the sons of Israel dedicate the house of Jehovah.

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.

On that day hath the king sanctified the middle of the court that [is] before the house of Jehovah, for he hath made there the burnt-offering, and the present, and the fat of the peace-offerings; for the altar of brass that [is] before Jehovah [is] too little to contain the burnt-offering, and the present, 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.

And Solomon maketh, at that time, the festival — and all Israel with him, a great assembly from the entering in of Hamath unto the brook of Egypt — before Jehovah our God, seven days and seven days; 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 hath sent the people away, and they bless the king, and go to their tents, rejoicing and glad of heart for all the good that Jehovah hath done to David His servant, and to Israel His people.
