2 Weche Mag Ndalo 6

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

Then Solomon said, O Lord, to the sun you have given the heaven for a living-place, but your living-place was not seen by men,

2 Asegeroni hekalu marahuma, kama inidagie nyaka chiengʼ.”

So I have made for you a living-place, a house in which you may be for ever present.

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

Then, turning his face about, the king gave a blessing to all the men of Israel; and they were all on their feet together.

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

And he said, Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, who himself gave his word to my father David, and with his strong hand has made his word come true, saying,

5 ‘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 when I took my people out of the land of Egypt, no town in all the tribes of Israel has been marked out by me for the building of a house for the resting-place of my name; and I took no man to be a ruler over my people Israel;

6 To koro aseyiero Jerusalem mondo obed kama Nyinga betie kendo aseyiero Daudi mondo otel ni joga Israel.’

But now I have made selection of Jerusalem, that my name might be there, and of David, to be over my people Israel.

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

Now it was in the heart of my father David to put up a house for the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.

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

But the Lord said to David my father, You did well to have in your heart the desire to make a house for my name:

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

But you yourself will not be the builder of the house; but your son, the offspring of your body, he it is who will put up a house for my name.

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

And the Lord has kept his word; for I have taken my father David's place on the seat of the kingdom of Israel, as the Lord gave his word; and I have made the house for the name of the Lord the God of Israel.

11 Aseketo Sandug Muma ma moketie singruok mane Jehova Nyasaye otimo e kinde gi jo-Israel.”

And there I have put the ark, in which is the agreement of the Lord, which he made with the people of Israel.

12 Eka Solomon nochungʼ e nyim kendo mar misango mar Jehova Nyasaye e nyim oganda duto mar jo-Israel kendo norieyo bedene kochomo malo.

Then he took his place in front of the altar of the Lord, all the men of Israel being present,

13 Noseloso raidhi mar mula ma borne gi lachne romo fut aboro to borne kadhi malo en fut abich mokete e dier laru ma oko. Ne ochungʼ e raidhino mi ogoyo chonge piny e nyim oganda duto mar jo-Israel kendo norieyo bedene kochomo polo.

(For Solomon had made a brass stage, five cubits long, five cubits wide and three cubits high, and had put it in the middle of the open space; on this he took his place and went down on his knees before all the meeting of Israel, stretching out his hands to heaven.)

14 Kowacho niya, “Yaye Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach Israel, onge Nyasaye moro e polo kata e piny machal kodi. In e Nyasaye marito singruok mar herane ni jotichne maluwo yoreni gi chunygi duto.

And he said, O Lord, the God of Israel, there is no God like you in heaven or on earth; keeping faith and mercy unchanging for your servants, while they go in your ways with all their hearts;

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

For you have kept the word which you gave to your servant David, my father; with your mouth you said it and with your hand you have made it come true this day.

16 “To koro Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach Israel rit singruok mane itimo gi jatichni Daudi wuora kiwachone niya, ‘Ok inibed maonge ngʼama bet e nyima e kom loch Israel ka nyikwayi onono kaka giwuotho e nyima kaka chikna dwaro mana kaka isetimo.’

So now, O Lord, the God of Israel, let your word to your servant David, my father, come true, when you said, You will never be without a man to take his place before me on the seat of the kingdom of Israel; if only your children give attention to their ways, walking in my law, as you have done before me.

17 To koro, yaye Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach Israel yie mondo wach mane isingo ni jatichni Daudi wuora otimre mana kaka ne isingo.

So now, O Lord, the God of Israel, make your word come true which you said to your servant David.

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

But is it truly possible that God may be housed with men on earth? see, heaven and the heaven of heavens are not wide enough to be your resting-place: how much less this house which I have made:

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

Still, let your heart be turned to the prayer of your servant and to his prayer for grace, O Lord my God, and give ear to the cry and the prayer which your servant makes before you;

20 Mad wangʼi rang hekaluni odiechiengʼ kod otieno, kama niwacho ni Nyingi nobedie. Yie iwinji lemo ma jatichni lamo kochomo odni.

That your eyes may be open to this house day and night, to this place of which you have said that you would put your name there; to give ear to the prayer which your servant may make, turning to this place.

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

And give ear to the prayers of your servant and of your people Israel, when they make their prayers, turning to this place; give ear from heaven your living-place; and hearing have mercy.

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

If a man does wrong to his neighbour and has to take an oath, and comes before your altar to take his oath in this house:

23 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 let your ear be open in heaven, and be the judge of your servants, giving punishment to the wrongdoer, so that his sin may come on his head; and, by your decision, keeping from evil him who has done no wrong.

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

And if your people Israel are overcome in war, because of their sin against you; if they are turned to you again, honouring your name, making prayers and requesting your grace in this house:

25 to iwinjgi gi e polo kendo iwe richo jogi Israel kendo iduog-gi e piny mane imiyogi kod kweregi.

Then give ear from heaven, and let the sin of your people Israel have forgiveness, and take them back again to the land which you gave to them and to their fathers.

26 “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 heaven is shut up and there is no rain, because of their sin against you: if they make prayers with their faces turned to this place, honouring your name and turning away from their sin when you send trouble on them:

27 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 give ear from heaven, so that the sin of your servants and the sin of your people Israel may have forgiveness, when you make clear to them the good way in which they are to go; and send rain on your land which you have given to your people for their heritage.

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

If there is no food in the land, if there is disease, if the fruits of the earth are damaged by heat or water, locust or worm; if their towns are shut in by their attackers: whatever trouble or whatever disease there may be:

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

Whatever prayer or request for your grace is made by any man, or by all your people Israel, whatever his trouble may be, whose hands are stretched out to this house:

30 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 give ear from heaven your living-place, answering with forgiveness, and give to every man, whose secret heart is open to you, the reward of all his ways; (for you, and you only, have knowledge of the hearts of the children of men; )

31 mondo omi gilwori kendo giwuoth e yoreni ndalogi duto ma gin-go e piny mane imiyo kwerewa.

So that they may give you worship, walking in your ways, as long as they are living in the land which you gave to our fathers.

32 “To kuom jadak ma ok achiel kuom jogi Israel moa e piny mabor nikech nyingi maduongʼ kendo lweti maratego kod badi marabora moriere, ka gibiro ma gilemo ka gichomo hekaluni,

And as for the man from a strange land, who is not of your people Israel but comes from a far country because of the glory of your name and your strong hand and your outstretched arm; when he comes to make his prayer, turning to this house:

33 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.

Then give ear from heaven your living-place, and give him his desire, whatever it may be; so that all the peoples of the earth may have knowledge of your name, worshipping you as do your people Israel, and may see that this house which I have made is truly named by your name.

34 “Ka jogi odhi kedo gi jowasikgi kamoro amora ma ibiro orogie ka gilami kagichomo dalani miseyiero kendo hekalu masegero maluongo nyingi,

If your people go out to war against their attackers, by whatever way you may send them, if they make their prayers to you turning their faces to this town of yours and to this house which I have put up for your name:

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

Then give ear from heaven to their prayer and their cry for grace, and see right done to them.

36 “To ka giketho e nyimi, nimar onge ngʼato kata achiel ma ok jaketho mi ikecho kodgi kendo ichiwogi e lwet wasigu mi giterogi e twech e piny mabor kata machiegni,

If they do wrong against you, (for no man is without sin, ) and you are angry with them, and give them up into the power of those who are fighting against them, so that they take them away prisoners to a land far off or near;

37 kendo ka chunygi olokore e piny mane otergi e twech kendo giweyo richogi kendo gikwayi e piny wasikgi mane otweyogi kagiwacho niya, ‘Wasetimo richo kendo waseketho bende wasetimo mamono;’

And if they take thought, in the land where they are prisoners, turning again to you, crying out in prayer to you in that land, and saying, We are sinners, we have done wrong, we have done evil;

38 to ka gidwogo iri gi chunygi duto kod ngimagi duto e piny mane otergi e twech, kendo gilemo ka girango pinygi mane imiyo kweregi, kod dala maduongʼ miseyiero kod hekalu ma asegero ni nyingi,

If with all their heart and soul they are turned again to you, in the land where they are prisoners, the land where they have been taken, and make their prayers, turning their eyes to their land which you gave to their fathers, and to the town which you took for yourself, and the house which I have made for your name:

39 to yie iwinji lemogi gi kwayogi gie polo kar dakni kendo ikonygi. Kendo iwe ni jogi mosetimo richo e nyimi.

Then give ear from heaven your living-place to their prayer and their cry, and see right done to them, answering with forgiveness your people who have done wrong against you.

40 “Koro Nyasacha, yie mondo wengegi oyawre kendo itgi mondo owinj maber lemo ma wachiwo kaeni.

Now, O my God, may your eyes be open and your ears awake to the prayers made in this place.

41 “Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, koro chungʼ malo kendo idonj e kar yweyo,

Up! now, O Lord God, come back to your resting-place, you and the ark of your strength: let your priests, O Lord God, be clothed with salvation, and let your saints be glad in what is good.

42 Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, kik ikwed ngʼatno misewiro.

O Lord God, let him whom you have taken for yourself never be given up by you: keep in mind your mercies to David your servant.
