Chronicles II 6
1 Then said Solomon, The Lord said that he would dwell in thick darkness.
Nígbà náà ni Solomoni wí pé, “Olúwa ti sọ wí pé òun yóò máa gbé nínú òkùnkùn tí ó ṣú biribiri;
2 But I have built a house to thy name, holy to thee, and prepared [for thee] to dwell in for ever.
ṣùgbọ́n èmi ti kọ́ tẹmpili dáradára fún ọ ibi tí ìwọ yóò máa gbé títí láé.”
3 And the king turned his face, and blessed all the congregation of Israel: and all the congregation of Israel stood by.
Ní ìgbà tí gbogbo ìjọ Israẹli dúró níbẹ̀, ọba yíjú padà ó sì fi ìbùkún fún gbogbo wọn.
4 And he said, Blessed [be] the Lord God of Israel: he has even fulfilled with his hands as he spoke with his mouth to my father David, saying,
Nígbà náà ni ó sì wí pé: “Ògo ni fún Olúwa, Ọlọ́run Israẹli, tí ó fi ọwọ́ rẹ̀ mú ohun tí ó fi ẹnu rẹ̀ sọ fún Dafidi baba mi ṣẹ. Nítorí tí ó wí pé,
5 From the day when I brought up my people out of the land of Egypt, I chose no city of all the tribes of Israel, to build a house that my name should be there; neither did I choose a man to be a leader over my people Israel.
‘Láti ọjọ́ tí èmi ti mú àwọn ènìyàn mi jáde kúrò ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti, èmi kò yan ìlú kan nínú gbogbo ẹ̀yà Israẹli, láti kọ́ ilé, kí orúkọ mi kí ó lè wà níbẹ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi kò yan ẹnikẹ́ni láti jẹ́ olórí lórí Israẹli ènìyàn mi.
6 But I chose Jerusalem that my name should be there; and I chose David to be over my people Israel.
Ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí èmi ti yan Jerusalẹmu, kí orúkọ mi le è wà níbẹ̀, èmi sì ti yan Dafidi láti jẹ ọba lórí Israẹli ènìyàn mi.’
7 And it came into the heart of David my father, to build a house for the name of the Lord God of Israel.
“Baba mi Dafidi ti ní-in lọ́kàn láti kọ́ tẹmpili fún orúkọ Olúwa, àní Ọlọ́run Israẹli.
8 But the Lord said to my father David, Whereas it came into thy heart to build a house for my name, thou didst well that it came into thy heart.
Ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa sọ fún Dafidi baba mi pé, ‘Nítorí tí ó wà ní ọkàn rẹ láti kọ́ tẹmpili yìí fún orúkọ mi, ìwọ ṣe ohun dáradára láti ní èyí ní ọkàn rẹ̀.
9 Nevertheless thou shalt not build the house; for thy son who shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house for my name.
Ṣùgbọ́n síbẹ̀, ìwọ kọ́ ni yóò kọ́ tẹmpili náà, bí kò ṣe ọmọ rẹ, ẹni tí o jẹ́ ẹran-ara àti ẹ̀jẹ̀ rẹ: òun ni yóò kọ́ tẹmpili fún orúkọ mi.’
10 And the Lord has confirmed this word, which he spoke; and I am raised up in the room of my father David, and I sit upon the throne of Israel as the Lord said, and I have built the house for the name of the Lord God of Israel:
“Olúwa sì ti mú ìlérí rẹ̀ ṣẹ. Èmi ti dìde ní ipò Dafidi baba mi, a sì gbé mi ka ìtẹ́ Israẹli, gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti ṣe ìlérí, èmi sì ti kọ́ tẹmpili fún orúkọ Olúwa, Ọlọ́run Israẹli.
11 and I have set there the ark in which [is] the covenant of the Lord, which he made with Israel.
Níbẹ̀ ni èmi sì gbé àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa sí, nínú èyí ti májẹ̀mú ti Olúwa bá àwọn Israẹli ènìyàn mi dá wà.”
12 And he stood before the altar of the Lord in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread out his hands.
Nígbà náà ni Solomoni dúró níwájú pẹpẹ Olúwa, ní iwájú gbogbo ìjọ ènìyàn Israẹli, ó sì tẹ́ ọwọ́ rẹ̀ méjèèjì.
13 For Solomon [had] made a brazen scaffold, and set it in the midst of the court of the sanctuary; the length of it [was] five cubits, and the breadth of it five cubits, and the height of it three cubits: and he stood upon it, and fell upon his knees before the whole congregation of Israel, and spread abroad his hands to heaven,
Solomoni ṣe àga idẹ kan tí ó jẹ́ ìgbọ̀nwọ́ márùn-ún ní gígùn àti ìgbọ̀nwọ́ márùn-ún fífẹ̀ àti ìgbọ̀nwọ́ mẹ́ta ní gíga, a gbé e sí àárín àgbàlá ti òde. Ó sì dúró ní orí rẹ̀, àti pé ó kúnlẹ̀ lórí eékún rẹ̀ níwájú gbogbo ìjọ ènìyàn Israẹli, ó sì tẹ́ ọwọ́ rẹ̀ méjèèjì sí òkè ọ̀run.
14 and said, Lord God of Israel, there is no God like thee in heaven, or on the earth; keeping covenant and mercy with thy servants that walk before thee with [their] whole heart.
Ó wí pé: “Olúwa, Ọlọ́run Israẹli, kò sí Ọlọ́run tí ó dàbí rẹ ní ọ̀run àti ní ayé: ìwọ tí o pa májẹ̀mú ìfẹ́ rẹ mọ́ pẹ̀lú àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ tí ń fi tọkàntọkàn wọn rìn ní ọ̀nà rẹ.
15 Even as thou hast kept [them] with thy servant David my father, as thou hast spoken to him in words: —thou hast both spoken with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled [it] with thy hands, as it is this day.
Ìwọ tí o pa ìlérí tí o ṣe pẹ̀lú ìránṣẹ́ rẹ Dafidi baba mi mọ́; nítorí ìwọ ti fi ẹnu rẹ ṣe ìlérí àti pé ìwọ ti fi ọwọ́ rẹ mú un ṣẹ; bí ó ti rí lónìí yìí.
16 and now, Lord God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father the things which thou spokest to him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man before me sitting on the throne of Israel, if only thy sons will take heed to their way to walk in my law, as thou didst walk before me.
“Nísinsin yìí Olúwa, Ọlọ́run Israẹli, pa ìlérí tí ó ti ṣe mọ́ fún ìránṣẹ́ rẹ Dafidi baba mi nígbà tí o wí pé, ‘Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ fẹ́ kù láti ní ọkùnrin láti jókòó níwájú mi lórí ìtẹ́ Israẹli, kìkì bí àwọn ọmọ rẹ tí wọ́n bá kíyèsi ara nínú gbogbo ohun tí wọ́n ṣe láti rìn níwájú mi gẹ́gẹ́ bí òfin mi gẹ́gẹ́ bí o sì ti ṣe.’
17 And now, Lord God of Israel, let, I pray thee, thy word be confirmed, which thou hast spoken to thy servant David.
Nísinsin yìí, Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli, jẹ́ kí ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ tí o ti ṣèlérí fún ìránṣẹ́ rẹ Dafidi kí ó wá sí ìmúṣẹ.
18 For will God indeed dwell with men upon the earth? if the heaven and the heaven of heavens will not suffice thee, what then is this house which I have built?
“Ṣùgbọ́n ṣé Ọlọ́run nítòótọ́ yóò máa bá àwọn ènìyàn gbé lórí ilẹ̀ ayé bí? Ọ̀run àti ọ̀run gíga kò le gbà ọ́. Báwo ni ó ṣe kéré tó, ilé Olúwa tí mo ti kọ́!
19 Yet thou shalt have respect to the prayer of thy servant, and to my petition, O Lord God, so as to hearken to the petition and the prayer which thy servant prays before thee this day:

20 so that thine eyes should be open over this house by day and by night, towards this place, whereon thou saidst thy name should be called, so as to hear the prayer which thy servant prays towards this house.

21 And thou shalt hear the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, whatsoever prayers they shall make towards this place: and thou shalt hearken in thy dwelling-place out of heaven, yea thou shalt hear, and be merciful.

22 If a man sin against his neighbour, and he bring an oath upon him so as to make him swear, and he come and swear before the altar in this house;
“Nígbà tí ọkùnrin kan bá dẹ́ṣẹ̀ sí ẹnìkejì rẹ̀, tí a sì mú búra, tí ó sì búra níwájú pẹpẹ rẹ nínú ilé yìí,
23 then shalt thou hearken out of heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, to recompense the transgressor, and to return his ways upon his head: and to justify the righteous, to recompense him according to his righteousness.

24 And if thy people Israel should be put to the worse before the enemy, if they should sin against thee, and [then] turn and confess to thy name, and pray and make supplication before thee in this house;
“Nígbà tí àwọn ènìyàn rẹ Israẹli bá ní ìjákulẹ̀ níwájú àwọn ọ̀tá nítorí wọ́n ti dẹ́ṣẹ̀ sí ọ àti nígbà tí wọ́n bá sì yípadà, tí wọ́n sì jẹ́wọ́ orúkọ rẹ, tí wọ́n gbàdúrà, tí wọ́n sì bẹ̀bẹ̀ níwájú rẹ nínú ilé Olúwa yìí,
25 then shalt thou hearken out of heaven and shalt be merciful to the sins of thy people Israel, and thou shalt restore them to the land which thou gavest to them and to their fathers.

26 When heaven is restrained, and there is no rain, because they shall have sinned against thee, and [when] they shall pray towards this place, and praise thy name, and shall turn from their sins, because thou shalt afflict them;
“Nígbà tí a bá ti ọ̀run, tí kò sì sí òjò nítorí àwọn ènìyàn rẹ ti dẹ́ṣẹ̀ sí ọ, nígbà tí wọ́n bá sì gbàdúrà sí ibí yìí tí wọ́n sì jẹ́wọ́ orúkọ rẹ tí wọ́n sì yípadà kúrò nínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn nítorí ìwọ ti pọ́n wọn lójú,
27 then shalt thou hearken from heaven, and thou shalt be merciful to the sins of thy servants, and of thy people Israel; for thou shalt shew them the good way in which they shall walk; and thou shalt send rain upon thy land, which thou gavest to thy people for an inheritance.

28 If there should be famine upon the land, if there should be death, a pestilent wind an blight; if there should be locust and caterpiller, and if the enemy should harass them before their cities: in whatever plague and whatever distress [they may be];
“Nígbà tí ìyàn tàbí àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn bá wá sí ilẹ̀ náà, ìrẹ̀dànù tàbí ìmúwòdù, eṣú tàbí ẹlẹ́ǹgà, tàbí nígbà tí àwọn ọ̀tá wọn bá yọ wọ́n lẹ́nu nínú ọ̀kan lára àwọn ìlú wọn, ohunkóhun, ìpọ́njú tàbí ààrùn lè wá.

32 And every stranger who is not himself of thy people Israel, and who shall have come from a distant land because of thy great name, and thy mighty hand, and thy high arm; when they shall come and worship toward this place; —

33 then shalt thou hearken out of heaven, out of thy prepared dwelling-place, and shalt do according to all that the stranger shall call upon thee for; that all the nations of the earth may know thy name, and that they may fear thee, as thy people Israel [do], and that they may know that thy name is called upon this house which I have built.
