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.
Azɔ la, Fia Solomo ƒo Israelviwo ƒe kplɔlawo, towo kple hlɔ̃wo ƒe tatɔwo katã nu ƒu ɖe Yerusalem be, woakpɔ ale si woatsɔ Yehowa ƒe nubablaɖaka la tso agbadɔ la me le Zion, David ƒe du la me, ayi gbedoxɔ la me la teƒe.
2 And all the men of Israel assembled themselves to king Solomon at the feast, in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month.
Tete Israel ŋutsuwo katã kpe ta ɖe Fia Solomo gbɔ le Agbadɔmeŋkekenyui la ɖuɣi le ɣleti adrelia me.
3 And all the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark.
Esi Israelviwo ƒe ametsitsiawo katã va ɖo la, nunɔlawo tsɔ nubablaɖaka la.
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.
Wotsɔ Yehowa ƒe nubablaɖaka la kple takpeƒe ƒe agbadɔ la kple nu kɔkɔe siwo katã le eme. Nunɔlawo kple Levitɔwoe tsɔ wo.
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.
Fia Solomo kple Israelviwo katã ƒo ƒu ɖe nubablaɖaka la ŋgɔ eye wotsɔ alẽ kple nyitsu geɖe siwo womate ŋu axlẽ o la sa vɔe.
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.
Le esia megbe la, nunɔlawo tsɔ Yehowa ƒe nubablaɖaka la va da ɖe enɔƒe le gbedoxɔ la ƒe kɔkɔe ƒe emetɔ si nye Kɔkɔeƒe ƒe Kɔkɔeƒe la me eye wokɔe da ɖe kerubiawo ƒe aʋalawo te.
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.
Wowɔ kerubiawo ale be woƒe aʋalawo tsyɔ teƒe si woada nubablaɖaka la ɖo la dzi. Ale woƒe aʋalawo tsyɔ nubablaɖaka la kple kpo siwo wowɔ ɖe wo ŋu la dzi.
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.
Kpoawo didi ale gbegbe be woƒe nugbɔwo didi gbɔ aɖaka la ŋu, woate ŋu akpɔ wo tso xɔ emetɔ, Kɔkɔeƒe ƒe Kɔkɔeƒe la me, gake womate ŋu akpɔ wo le Kɔkɔeƒe la godo o. Wogale afi ma va se ɖe egbe.
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.
Naneke menɔ nubablaɖaka la me ɣe ma ɣi o, negbe kpe kpakpa eve siwo Mose tsɔ de wo me le Horeb to la dzi esime Yehowa bla nu kple Israelviwo le woƒe dzodzo le Egipte megbe la ko.
10 And it came to pass, when the priests came out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of Jehovah,
Kpɔ ɖa! Esi nunɔlaawo trɔ tso Kɔkɔeƒe ƒe Kɔkɔeƒe la gbɔna ko la, lilikpo keklẽ aɖe yɔ Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la me taŋtaŋ!
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.
Nunɔlaawo magate ŋu awɔ woƒe dɔ o, le lilikpo la ta elabena Yehowa ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe yɔ gbedoxɔ la me.
12 Then Solomon spoke, Jehovah has said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
Fia Solomo gblɔ be “Yehowa gblɔ be yeanɔ lilikpo doviviti aɖe me.
13 I have surely built thee a house of habitation, a place for thee to dwell in forever.
Metu gbedoxɔ nyui aɖe na wò, si me nànɔ tegbee.”
14 And the king turned his face around, and blessed all the assembly of Israel. And all the assembly of Israel stood.
Tete Fia la trɔ ɖe ameha la gbɔ, ameawo tsi tsitre ɖe eŋkume be yewoaxɔ eƒe yayra eye wòyra wo.
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,
Egblɔ bena, “Woakafu Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu, ame si tsɔ eƒe asi wɔ ŋugbe si wòdo kple eƒe nu na fofonye, David dzi egbe
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.
elabena Yehowa gblɔ na Fia David be, ‘Tso gbe si gbe mekplɔ nye dukɔ Israel tso Egipte la, nyemetia du aɖeke le Israel toawo katã me be woatu gbedoxɔ nam ɖe afi ma be nye ŋkɔ nanɔ eme o. Ke metia David be wòanɔ nye dukɔ Israel nu.’
17 Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of Jehovah, the God of Israel.
“Ame siae nye fofonye, Fia David. Edi be yeatu gbedoxɔ aɖe na Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu ƒe ŋkɔ.
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.
Ke Yehowa gblɔ na fofonye, David be, ‘Esi nèɖoe ɖe wò dzi me be yeatu gbedoxɔ na nye ŋkɔ la, èwɔe nyuie be nèɖoe ɖe wò dzi me.
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.
Ke, menye wòe nye ame si atu gbedoxɔ la o, ke viwò, ame si nye wò ŋutɔ wò ŋutilã kple ʋu; eyae nye ame si atu gbedoxɔ la na nye ŋkɔ.’
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.
“Azɔ la, Yehowa wɔ nu si ŋugbe wòdo elabena mezu Israel fia ɖe fofonye David yome eye azɔ la, metu gbedoxɔ sia na Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la ƒe ŋkɔ.
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.
Mewɔ teƒe aɖe ɖe gbedoxɔ la me na nubablaɖaka la si me nubabla si Yehowa wɔ kple mía fofowo esime wòkplɔ wo tso Egiptenyigba dzi la le.”
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.
Azɔ Solomo tsi tsitre ɖe Yehowa ƒe vɔsamlekpui la ŋgɔ le Israel ƒe ameha blibo la ŋkume, eye wòke eƒe abɔwo me do ɖe dziƒo
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,
eye wògblɔ be, “Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu, Mawu aɖeke meɖi wò, le dziƒo afi ma alo anyigba dzi afi sia o, wò ame si léa wò lɔlɔ̃ ƒe nubabla me ɖe asi kple wò subɔla siwo zɔna ɖe wò mɔwo nu kple dzi blibo.
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.
Egbe la, èwɔ ŋugbe si nèdo na fofonye David, ame si nye wò subɔla la dzi. Ètsɔ wò nu do ŋugbee eye nètsɔ wò asi wɔ edzi abe ale si wòle egbe ene.
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.
“Azɔ la, Oo Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu, wɔ ŋugbe bubu si nèdo nɛ la hã dzi. Èdo ŋugbe be, ne fofonye ƒe dzidzimeviwo alé wò mɔwo me ɖe asi eye woawɔ wò lɔlɔ̃nu abe ale si eya wɔ ene la, ekema wo dometɔ ɖeka anɔ Israel ƒe fiazikpui dzi ɣe sia ɣi.
26 Now therefore, O God of Israel, let thy word, I pray thee, be verified, which thou spoke to thy servant David my father.
Ke azɔ la, Israel ƒe Mawu, wɔ ŋugbedodo si nèwɔ na wò dɔla David, fofonye la hã dzi.
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!
“Ke, ɖe Mawu ate ŋu anɔ anyigba dzia? Dziƒowo kple dziƒo kɔkɔtɔwo kekeake hã melolo na wò, hafi gbedoxɔ sia nasu na wò o!
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,
Ke, ɖo to wò dɔla ƒe gbedodoɖa kple eƒe kokoƒoƒo na nublanuikpɔkpɔ, O Yehowa, nye Mawu. Se wò dɔla ƒe ɣlidodo kple gbe si wò dɔla le dodom ɖa na wò egbe.
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.
Na wò ŋkuwo nanɔ gbedoxɔ sia ŋu zã kple keli, teƒe si ŋu nègblɔ le be ‘Nye ŋkɔ anɔ afi ma’ ale be nàse wò subɔla ƒe gbe si wòado ɖa ɖo ɖe teƒe sia.
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.
Ɖo to wò subɔla kple Israelviwo ƒe kukuɖeɖe ne wodze ŋgɔ afi sia eye wodo gbe ɖa na wò. Ɛ̃, se woƒe gbedodoɖa le dziƒo si nye wò nɔƒe eye ne èsee la, ekema nàtsɔ nu vɔ̃wo ake.
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,
“Ne wotsɔ nya ɖe ame aɖe ŋu be ewɔ nu vɔ̃ aɖe eye wòtsi tsitre ɖe afi sia, le wò vɔsamlekpui la ŋgɔ heka atam be yemewɔ nu vɔ̃ la o la,
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.

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,
“Ne futɔwo ɖu wò dukɔ, Israel dzi elabena wowɔ nu vɔ̃ ɖe ŋutiwò, ne wotrɔ va gbɔwò eye woʋu wò ŋkɔ me, ne wodo gbe ɖa na wò le gbedoxɔ sia me la,
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.
ekema se woƒe gbe tso dziƒo eye nàtsɔ wò dukɔ, Israel ƒe nu vɔ̃ akee eye nàgbugbɔ wo ava anyigba si nèna wo fofowo la dzi.
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,
“Ne dziƒowo nu tu eye tsi mele dzadzam o elabena wò amewo wɔ nu vɔ̃ ɖe ŋutiwò, ne wodo gbe ɖa ɖo ɖe teƒe sia, ʋu wò ŋkɔ me eye woɖe asi le woƒe nu vɔ̃ ŋu elabena èwɔ fu wo la,
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.

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,
“Ne dɔ to le anyigba la dzi to dɔléle ƒe agblemenukuwo dzi dzedze alo ʋetsuviwo ƒe vava me, ne Israel ƒe futɔwo ɖe to ɖe Israel ƒe duwo dometɔ aɖe eye ne dɔvɔ̃ to le anyigba la dzi alo ne nu bubu ɖe sia ɖe na dɔ to le anyigba la dzi,
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,

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

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
“Amedzro si metso wò dukɔ, Israel me o, ke wòtso didiƒenyigba aɖe dzi le wò ŋkɔ ta,

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.

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,
“Ne èna wò amewo ho aʋa ɖe woƒe futɔwo ŋu eye wotrɔ mo ɖo ɖe Yerusalem, wò du tiatia la kple gbedoxɔ sia, si metu na wò ŋkɔ la,
45 then hear thou in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.
se woƒe gbedodoɖa kple kokoƒoƒo le dziƒo eye nàxɔ na wo.
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,
“Ne wowɔ nu vɔ̃ ɖe ŋuwò, abe ale si ame sia ame wɔa nu vɔ̃ ene, nèdo dɔmedzoe ɖe wo ŋu eye nèna woƒe futɔwo ɖe aboyo wo yi dzronyigba aɖe dzi, didiƒe alo kpuiƒe
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,
eye ne wotrɔ susu le anyigba si dzi woɖe aboyo wo yi, eye wotrɔ dzi me heƒo koko le aboyonyigba dzi hegblɔ be, ‘Míewɔ nu vɔ̃, míeda vo eye míewɔ nu ŋutasẽtɔe’
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,
eye ne wotrɔ va gbɔwò kple woƒe dzi blibo kple luʋɔ blibo le ame siwo ɖe aboyo wo ƒe anyigba dzi eye wodo gbe ɖa ɖo ɖe anyigba si nèna wo fofowo gbɔ, ɖo ɖe du si nètia kple gbedoxɔ si metu na wò ŋkɔ gbɔ la,
49 then hear thou their prayer and their supplication in heaven thy dwelling-place, and maintain their case,
ekema nàse woƒe gbedodoɖa kple kukuɖeɖe le dziƒo, wò nɔƒe eye nàwɔ woƒe biabiawo dzi na wo.
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
“Tsɔ wò amewo ƒe nu vɔ̃wo katã ke wo eye nàna ame siwo ɖe aboyo wo la nakpɔ nublanui na wo

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.
“Na wò ŋkuwo kple towo siaa naʋu ɖe woƒe kukuɖeɖewo ŋu. Oo, Yehowa, se woƒe gbedodoɖawo eye nàwɔ woƒe biabiawo dzi na wo ɣe sia ɣi si woado ɣli na wò
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.

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.
Esi Solomo wu gbedodoɖa siawo katã na Yehowa nu la, etsi tsitre tso Yehowa ƒe vɔsamlekpui la ŋgɔ afi si wòdze klo ɖo heke eƒe abɔwo me ɖo ɖe dziƒo.
55 And he stood, and blessed all the assembly of Israel with a loud voice, saying,
Etsi tsitre eye wòyra Israel ƒe ƒuƒoƒo blibo la kple gbe sesẽ aɖe hegblɔ be,
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.
“Woakafu Yehowa, ame si wɔ eƒe ŋugbedodowo katã dzi eye wòna ŋutifafa eƒe dukɔ, Israel. Nya ɖeka pɛ gɔ̃ hã megbe emevava le ŋugbe siwo wòdo to Mose dzi la me o.

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.

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,

60 that all the peoples of the earth may know that Jehovah, he is God; there is none else.
Wòana wòava eme be anyigbadzitɔwo katã nanya be Yehowae nye Mawu eye mawu bubu aɖeke kura megali o.
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.
Oo, nye amewo, mianɔ agbe dzadzɛ, le Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu la ŋkume, miawɔ eƒe sewo kple ɖoɖowo katã dzi, abe ale si miele ewɔm egbe ene la ko!”
62 And the king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifice before Jehovah.
Azɔ la, Fia Solomo kple Israel blibo la sa vɔwo le Yehowa ŋkume.
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.
Solomo sa akpedavɔ na Yehowa kple nyi akpe blaeve-vɔ-eve kple alẽ kple gbɔ̃ akpe alafa ɖeka blaeve. Ale Fia la kple Israelviwo katã kɔ Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la ŋu.
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.

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.
Ale Solomo ɖu ŋkekenyui le ɣe ma ɣi me eye Israel katã ɖui kplii. Ameha gã aɖe ŋutɔe wònye, ameawo tso Lebo Hamat va se ɖe Egipte tɔʋu la gbɔ ke. Woɖu ŋkeke sia le Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu la ŋkume ŋkeke adre eye wogaɖui ŋkeke adre bubu. Wo katã le ŋkeke wuiene.
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.
Esi ŋu ke la, edo mɔ ameawo wodzo. Woyra fia la hafi dzo yi aƒe me; dzidzɔ kple aseyetsotso yɔ woƒe dziwo me ɖe nu nyui siwo katã Yehowa wɔ na eƒe dɔla, David kple eƒe dukɔ, Israel la ta.
