2 Chronicles 7
1 Now when Solomon had finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the LORD’s glory filled the house.
Esi Solomo wu gbedodoɖa nu la, dzo ge tso dziƒo, fia numevɔsa kple vɔsa la eye Yehowa ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe yɔ gbedoxɔ la me.
2 The priests could not enter into the LORD’s house, because the LORD’s glory filled the LORD’s house.
Nunɔlaawo mete ŋu ge ɖe Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la me o elabena Yehowa ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe yɔe fũu.
3 All the children of Israel looked on, when the fire came down, and the LORD’s glory was on the house. They bowed themselves with their faces to the ground on the pavement, worshiped, and gave thanks to the LORD, saying, “For he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever!”
Israel blibo la kpɔ nu sia teƒe eye wotsyɔ mo anyi, kafu Yehowa eye woda akpe nɛ hedo ɣli bena, “Eƒe dɔme nyo eye eƒe amenuveve li tegbee!”
4 Then the king and all the people offered sacrifices before the LORD.
Fia la kple ameawo katã sa vɔwo le Yehowa ŋkume
5 King Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty-two thousand head of cattle and a hundred twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the people dedicated God’s house.
eye Fia Solomo sa vɔ kple nyi akpe blaeve-vɔ-eve kple ale kple gbɔ̃ akpe alafa ɖeka blaeve. Ale fia la kple ameawo katã kɔ Mawu ƒe gbedoxɔ la ŋu.
6 The priests stood, according to their positions; the Levites also with instruments of music of the LORD, which David the king had made to give thanks to the LORD, when David praised by their ministry, saying “For his loving kindness endures forever.” The priests sounded trumpets before them; and all Israel stood.
Nunɔlawo nɔ tsitre ɖe woƒe dɔwɔƒewo le esime Levitɔwo nɔ woƒe akpedahawo dzim be, “Eƒe amenuveve li tegbee” kpe ɖe haƒonu siwo Fia David ŋutɔ wɔ eye wòna wowɔa wo ŋu dɔ hena Yehowa kafukafu ŋuti. Esi nunɔlaawo ku kpẽawo la, Israel ƒe ameha blibo la tsi tsitre.
7 Moreover Solomon made the middle of the court that was before the LORD’s house holy; for there he offered the burnt offerings and the fat of the peace offerings, because the bronze altar which Solomon had made was not able to receive the burnt offering, the meal offering, and the fat.
Solomo kɔ xɔxɔnu emetɔ si le Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ ŋgɔ la ŋuti eye le afi ma wòsa numevɔ, nuɖuvɔ kple akpedavɔ ƒe amiwo le elabena akɔblivɔsamlekpui si wòwɔ la le sue akpa na numevɔ, nuɖuvɔ kple amiawo.
8 So Solomon held the feast at that time for seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great assembly, from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of Egypt.
Azɔ la, 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.
9 On the eighth day, they held a solemn assembly; for they kept the dedication of the altar seven days, and the feast seven days.
Wode ŋkekenyui sia ƒe akpedasɔleme mamlɛtɔ le ŋkeke enyia gbe.
10 On the twenty-third day of the seventh month, he sent the people away to their tents, joyful and glad of heart for the goodness that the LORD had shown to David, to Solomon, and to Israel his people.
Fia Solomo ɖo ameawo ɖe aƒe le ɣleti adrelia ƒe ŋkeke blaeve-vɔ-etɔ̃lia gbe. Ameawo kpɔ dzidzɔ ŋutɔ le ale si Yehowa ve David kple Solomo kpakple eƒe dukɔ, Israel nu la ta.
11 Thus Solomon finished the LORD’s house and the king’s house; and he successfully completed all that came into Solomon’s heart to make in the LORD’s house and in his own house.
Esi Solomo wu Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ kple fiasã la tutu kple nu siwo katã wòɖo ɖe ta me be yeawɔ ɖe Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la me kple eya ŋutɔ ƒe fiasã me nu la,
12 Then the LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said to him, “I have heard your prayer, and have chosen this place for myself for a house of sacrifice.
Yehowa ɖe eɖokui fiae le zã me eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “Mese wò gbedodoɖa eye metia teƒe sia na ɖokuinye be wòanye gbedoxɔ na vɔsawo.
13 “If I shut up the sky so that there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people,
“Ne metu dziƒowo nu ale be tsi megale dzadzam o alo meɖe gbe na ʋetsuviwo be woaɖu nu siwo le anyigba dzi alo medɔ dɔvɔ̃ ɖe dukɔ la dome la,
14 if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
ekema ne nye dukɔ, ame siwo ŋuti woyɔ nye ŋkɔ ɖo abɔbɔ wo ɖokui, ado gbe ɖa, adi nye ŋkume eye woaɖe asi le woƒe mɔ vɔ̃wo ŋu la, mase woƒe gbedodoɖa le dziƒo, matsɔ woƒe nu vɔ̃wo ake wo eye mayɔ dɔ woƒe anyigba.
15 Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to prayer that is made in this place.
Azɔ la, nye ŋkuwo anɔ ʋuʋu eye nye towo anɔ te ɖe gbe ɖe sia ɖe si woado ɖa le teƒe sia ŋuti.
16 For now I have chosen and made this house holy, that my name may be there forever; and my eyes and my heart will be there perpetually.
Metia eye mekɔ gbedoxɔ sia ŋuti ale be nye ŋkɔ anɔ afi ma tegbetegbee. Nye ŋkuwo kple nye dzi anɔ afi ma ɣe sia ɣi.
17 “As for you, if you will walk before me as David your father walked, and do according to all that I have commanded you, and will keep my statutes and my ordinances,
“Ke wò la, ne àzɔ le ŋkunye me, aɖi anukware abe fofowò, David ene eye nàwɔ nye seawo dzi, alé nye ɖoɖowo kple kɔnuwo me ɖe asi la,
18 then I will establish the throne of your kingdom, according as I covenanted with David your father, saying, ‘There shall not fail you a man to be ruler in Israel.’
ekema makpɔ egbɔ be, wò fiaɖuƒe nali ke abe ale si medo ŋugbe na fofowò David ene hegblɔ nɛ be, ‘Wò ame siwo aɖu fia ɖe Israel dzi la matso o.’
19 But if you turn away and forsake my statutes and my commandments which I have set before you, and go and serve other gods and worship them,
“Ke ne mènɔ yonyeme o, ne ègbe se siwo mena mi dzi la wɔwɔ eye miesubɔ mawu bubuwo hede ta agu na wo la,
20 then I will pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have made holy for my name, I will cast out of my sight, and I will make it a proverb and a byword among all peoples.
mate nye amewo le nye anyigba si metsɔ na wo la dzi eye maɖe gbedoxɔ sia togbɔ be mekɔ eŋuti na ɖokuinye hã. Mana wòazu hamelo kple alɔmeɖenu le dukɔwo katã dome.
21 This house, which is so high, everyone who passes by it will be astonished and say, ‘Why has the LORD done this to this land and to this house?’
Gbedoxɔ sia azu xɔ gbagbã si ƒe xɔtunuwo woali kɔe ɖi eye ame sia ame si ava tso eme yina la ƒe nu aku, eye wòabia be, ‘Nu ka ta Yehowa wɔ nu siawo ɖe anyigba sia kple gbedoxɔ sia ŋu?’
22 They shall answer, ‘Because they abandoned the LORD, the God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and took other gods, worshiped them, and served them. Therefore he has brought all this evil on them.’”
Woaɖo eŋu be, ‘Elabena ameawo ɖe asi le Yehowa, wo fofowo ƒe Mawu, ame si kplɔ wo do goe le Egiptenyigba dzi la ŋu eye wosubɔ mawu bubuwo eya tae wòhe dzɔgbevɔ̃e sia va wo dzi ɖo!’”
