1 Kings 8

1 Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers of the sons of Israel, to king Solomon in Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah out of the city of David, which is Zion.

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.

2 And all the men of Israel assembled themselves to king Solomon at the feast, in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month.

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

3 And all the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark.

Kane jodong Israel duto osechopo, jodolo nokawo Sandug Muma,

4 And they brought up the ark of Jehovah, and the tent of meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the tent; even these the priests and the Levites brought up.

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

5 And king Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, that were assembled to him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen that could not be counted nor numbered for multitude.

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.

6 And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of Jehovah to its place, into the oracle of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubim.

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.

7 For the cherubim spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and the staves of it above.

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

8 And the staves were so long that the ends of the staves were seen from the holy place before the oracle. But they were not seen outside. And there they are to this day.

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.

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

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.

10 And it came to pass, when the priests came out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of Jehovah,

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

11 so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud, for the glory of Jehovah filled the house of Jehovah.

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

12 Then Solomon spoke, Jehovah has said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.

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

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

adier asegeroni hekalu marahuma kama inidagie nyaka chiengʼ.”

14 And the king turned his face around, and blessed all the assembly of Israel. And all the assembly of Israel stood.

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

15 And he said, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David my father, and has with his hand fulfilled it, saying,

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

16 Since the day that I brought forth 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.

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.’

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

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

18 But Jehovah said to David my father, Whereas it was in thy heart to build a house for my name, thou did well that it was in thy heart.

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

19 Nevertheless thou shall not build the house, but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house for my name.

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

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

“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.

21 And there I have set a place for the ark, in which is the covenant of Jehovah, which he made with our fathers when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.

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

22 And Solomon stood before the altar of Jehovah in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven.

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

23 And he said, O Jehovah, the God of Israel, there is no God like thee, in heaven above, or on earth beneath, who keeps covenant and loving kindness with thy servants, who walk before thee with all their heart,

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.

24 who have kept with thy servant David my father that which thou did promise him. Yea, thou spoke with thy mouth, and have fulfilled it with thy hand, as it is this day.

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

25 Now therefore, O Jehovah, the God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that which thou have promised him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if only thy sons take heed to their way, to walk before me as thou have walked before me.

“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.’

26 Now therefore, O God of Israel, let thy word, I pray thee, be verified, which thou spoke to thy servant David my father.

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

27 But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee. How much less this house that I have built!

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

28 Yet have thou respect to the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O Jehovah my God, to hearken to the cry and to the prayer which thy servant prays before thee this day,

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.

29 that thine eyes may be open toward this house night and day, even toward the place whereof thou have said, My name shall be there, to hearken to the prayer which thy servant shall pray toward this place.

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

30 And hearken thou to the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place. Yea, hear thou in heaven thy dwelling-place, and when thou hear, forgive.

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

31 If a man sins against his neighbor, and an oath be laid upon him to cause him to swear, and he comes and swears before thine altar in this house,

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

32 then hear thou in heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, condemning the wicked, to bring his way upon his own head, and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.

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.

33 When thy people Israel are smitten down before the enemy because they have sinned against thee, if they turn again to thee, and confess thy name, and pray and make supplication to thee in this house,

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

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

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

35 When heaven is shut up, and there is no rain because they have sinned against thee, if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin when thou afflict them,

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

36 then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, when thou teach them the good way wherein they should walk, and send rain upon thy land, which thou have given to thy people for an inheritance.

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.

37 If there be famine in the land, if there be pestilence, if there be blight, mildew, locust or caterpillar, if their enemy besiege them in the land of their cities, whatever plague, whatever sickness there be,

“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,

38 whatever prayer and supplication be made by any man, or by all thy people Israel, who shall know every man the plague of his own heart, and spread forth his hands toward this house,

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

39 then hear thou in heaven thy dwelling-place, and forgive, and do, and render to every man according to all his ways, whose heart thou know (for thou, even thou only, know the hearts of all the sons of men),

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),

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

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

41 Moreover concerning the foreigner who is not of thy people Israel, when he shall come out of a far country for thy name's sake

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

42 (for they shall hear of thy great name, and of thy mighty hand, and of thine outstretched arm), when he shall come and pray toward this house,

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

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

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.

44 If thy people go out to battle against their enemy, by whatever way thou shall send them, and they pray to Jehovah toward the city which thou have chosen, and toward the house which I have built for thy name,

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

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

to yie iwinji gie polo lamogi kod kwayogi kendo konygi.

46 If they sin against thee (for there is no man that sins not), and thou be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captive to the land of the enemy, afar off or near,

“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;

47 yet if they shall rethink themselves in the land where they are carried captive, and turn again, and make supplication to thee in the land of those who carried them captive, saying, We have sinned, and have done perversely, we have dealt wickedly,

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.’

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

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;

49 then hear thou their prayer and their supplication in heaven thy dwelling-place, and maintain their case,

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

50 and forgive thy people who have sinned against thee, and all their transgressions by which they have transgressed against thee, and give them compassion before those who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them

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

51 (for they are thy people, and thine inheritance, which thou brought forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron);

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

52 that thine eyes may be open to the supplication of thy servant, and to the supplication of thy people Israel, to hearken to them whenever they cry to thee.

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

53 For thou separated them from among all the peoples of the earth, to be thine inheritance, as thou spoke by Moses thy servant when thou brought our fathers out of Egypt, O lord Jehovah.

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.”

54 And it was so, that, when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication to Jehovah, he arose from before the altar of Jehovah, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread forth toward heaven.

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.

55 And he stood, and blessed all the assembly of Israel with a loud voice, saying,

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

56 Blessed be Jehovah, 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.

“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.

57 Jehovah our God be with us as he was with our fathers. Let him not leave us, nor forsake us,

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

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

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

59 And let these my words, with which I have made supplication before Jehovah, be near to Jehovah our God day and night, that he maintain the cause of his servant, and the cause of his people Israel, as every day shall require,

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;

60 that all the peoples of the earth may know that Jehovah, he is God; there is none else.

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

61 Let your heart therefore be perfect with Jehovah our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day.

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

62 And the king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifice before Jehovah.

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

63 And Solomon offered for the sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered to Jehovah, twenty-two thousand oxen, and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the sons of Israel dedicated the house of Jehovah.

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.

64 The same day the king hallowed the middle of the court that was before the house of Jehovah, for there he offered the burnt offering, and the meal offering, and the fat of the peace offerings, because the brazen altar that was before Jehovah was too little to receive the burnt offering, and the meal offering, and the fat of the peace offerings.

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.

65 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 Jehovah our God, seven days and seven days, even fourteen days.

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.

66 On the eighth day he sent the people away. And they blessed the king, and went to their tents joyful and glad of heart for all the goodness that Jehovah had shown to David his servant, and to Israel his people.

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.
