< Chronicles II 7 >
1 And when Solomon had finished praying, then the fire came down from heaven, and devoured the whole burnt offerings and the sacrifices; and the glory of the Lord filled the house.
Awo Sulemaani bwe yamaliriza esaala ye, omuliro ne guva mu ggulu ne gwokya ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa ne ssaddaaka era n’ekitiibwa kya Mukama ne kijjula eyeekaalu.
2 And the priests could not enter into the house of the Lord at that time, for the glory of the Lord filled the house.
Bakabona ne batayinza kuyingira mu yeekaalu ya Mukama kubanga ekitiibwa kya Mukama kyajjula eyeekaalu ya Mukama.
3 And all the children of Israel saw the fire descending, and the glory of the Lord was upon the house: and they fell upon their face to the ground on the pavement, and worshipped, and praised the Lord; for [it is] good [to do so], because his mercy [endures] for ever.
Awo Abayisirayiri bonna bwe baalaba omuliro nga gukka, n’ekitiibwa kya Mukama nga kiri ku yeekaalu, ne bavuunama ku lubalaza ng’amaaso gaabwe gatunudde wansi ne basinza era ne beebaza Mukama nga boogera nti, “Mulungi, era okwagala kwe kubeerera emirembe gyonna.”
4 And the king and all the people [were] offering sacrifices before the Lord.
Awo kabaka n’abantu bonna, ne baweerayo ssaddaaka mu maaso ga Mukama.
5 And king Solomon offered a sacrifice of calves twenty and two thousand, of sheep a hundred and twenty thousand: so the king and all the people dedicated the house of God.
Kabaka Sulemaani n’awaayo ssaddaaka ey’ente ezawera emitwalo ebiri, n’endiga n’embuzi emitwalo kkumi n’ebiri. Awo kabaka n’abantu bonna ne bawonga eyeekaalu ya Mukama.
6 And the priests were standing at their watches, and the Levites with instruments of music of the Lord, belonging to king David, to give thanks before the Lord, for his mercy [endures] for ever, with the hymns of David, by their ministry: and the priests were blowing the trumpets before them, and all Israel standing.
Bakabona ne bayimirira mu bifo byabwe, n’Abaleevi nabo mu bifo byabwe nga bakutte ebivuga bya Mukama, kabaka Dawudi bye yali akoze olw’okutenderezanga Mukama, buli lwe yeebazanga Mukama ng’agamba nti, “Okwagala kwe kubeerera emirembe gyonna.” Ku luuyi olwaddirira Abaleevi, bakabona ne bafuuwa amakondeere, Isirayiri yenna n’ayimirira.
7 And Solomon consecrated the middle of the court that was in the house of the Lord: for he offered there the whole burnt offerings and the fat of the peace-offerings, for the brazen altar which Solomon had made was not sufficient to receive the whole burnt offerings, and the meat-offerings, and the fat.
Sulemaani n’atukuza oluggya olwa wakati olwali mu maaso ga yeekaalu ya Mukama, era eyo n’aweerayo ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa n’amasavu ag’ebiweebwayo olw’emirembe kubanga ku kyoto eky’ekikomo kye yali akoze kwali tekugyako biweebwayo byokebwa n’ebiweebwayo ebyobutta, n’ebitundu n’amasavu.
8 And Solomon kept the feast at that time seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great assembly, from the entering in of Aemath, and as far as the river of Egypt.
Era mu kiseera kyekimu Sulemaani n’akuuma embaga eyo okumala ennaku musanvu, ne Isirayiri yenna wamu naye, n’ekibiina ekinene ennyo okuva awayingirirwa e Kamasi okutuuka ku kagga ak’e Misiri.
9 And on the eighth day he kept a solemn assembly: for he kept a feast of seven days as the dedication of the altar.
Ku lunaku olw’omunaana ne bakuba olukuŋŋaana, kubanga baali bajjagulizza okuwongebwa kw’ekyoto ennaku musanvu, n’embaga ennaku endala musanvu.
10 And on the twenty-third day of the seventh month he dismissed the people to their tents, rejoicing, and with a glad heart because of the good deeds which the Lord had done to David, and to Solomon, and to Israel his people.
Ku lunaku olw’amakumi abiri mu esatu olw’omwezi ogw’omusanvu, Kabaka Sulemaani n’asindika abantu baddeyo ewaabwe, era ne bagenda nga basanyufu era nga bajaguza mu mitima gyabwe olw’obulungi bwa Mukama bwe yalaga Dawudi ne Sulemaani n’abantu be Isirayiri.
11 So Solomon finished the house of the Lord, and the king's house: and in whatever Solomon wished in his heart to do in the house of the Lord and in his own house, he prospered.
Awo Sulemaani bwe yamaliriza eyeekaalu ya Mukama, n’olubiri lwa kabaka, era ng’amalirizza n’ebyo byonna bye yali ateeseteese mu mutima gwe okukola mu yeekaalu ya Mukama ne mu lubiri lwa kabaka,
12 And the Lord appeared to Solomon by night, and said to him, I have heard your prayer, and I have chosen this place to myself for a house of sacrifice.
Mukama n’amulabikira mu kiro n’amugamba nti, “Mpulidde okusaba kwo, era neerobozza gye ndi ekifo kino okuba eyeekaalu ey’okuweerangamu ssaddaaka.
13 If I should restrain the heaven and there should be no rain, and if I should command the locust to devour the trees, and if I should send pestilence upon my people;
“Bwe nnaggalangawo eggulu enkuba n’etatonnya, oba ne ndagira enzige okulya ensi oba ne nsindikira abantu bange kawumpuli,
14 then if my people, on whom my name is called, should repent, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their evil ways, I also will hear from heaven, and I will be merciful to their sins, and I will heal their land.
abantu bange abatuumiddwa erinnya lyange bwe baneetowazanga, ne basaba, ne banoonya amaaso gange, ne bakyuka okuleka amakubo gaabwe amakyamu, kale nnaawuliranga nga nsinziira mu ggulu ne nsonyiwa ekibi kyabwe era ne mponya ensi yaabwe.
15 And now my eyes shall be open, and my ears attentive to the prayer of this place.
Era amaaso gange ganaazibukanga, n’amatu gange ganaawuliranga esaala ezinaawebwangayo mu kifo kino.
16 And now I have chosen and sanctified this house, that my name should be there for ever: and my eyes and my heart shall be there always.
Nnonze era neewongedde yeekaalu eno, Erinnya lyange libeerenga omwo ennaku zonna. Amaaso gange n’omutima gwange binaabeeranga omwo ekiseera kyonna.
17 And if you will walk before me as David your father [did], and will do according to all that I have commanded you, and will keep my ordinances and my judgements;
“Bw’onootambuliranga mu maaso gange nga Dawudi kitaawo bwe yakola, n’okola bye nkulagira byonna, n’okuuma ebiragiro byange n’amateeka gange,
18 then will I establish the throne of your kingdom, as I covenanted with David your father, saying, There shall not fail you a man ruling in Israel.
ndinyweza entebe ey’obwakabaka bwo, nga bwe nalagaana ne Dawudi kitaawo bwe nayogera nti, ‘Tolirema kuba na musika alifuga Isirayiri.’
19 But if you should turn away, and forsake my ordinances and my commandments, which I have set before you, and go and serve other gods, and worship them;
“Naye bwe munaakyuka ne muva ku mateeka gange n’ebiragiro byange bye mbawadde, ne mugenda okuweereza bakatonda abalala ne mubasinza,
20 then will I remove you from the land which I gave them; and this house which I have consecrated to my name I will remove out of my sight, and I will make it a proverb and a byword amongst all nations.
ndisiguukulula Isirayiri okuva mu nsi yange, gye mbawadde, era sirifaayo na ku yeekaalu eno gye neewongera olw’Erinnya lyange. Ndigifuula ekisekererwa era ekinyoomebwa mu mawanga gonna.
21 And [as for] this lofty house, every one that passes by it shall be amazed, and shall say, Therefore has the Lord done [thus] to this land, and to this house?
Newaakubadde nga yeekaalu eno eyatiikiridde nnyo, abaliyitawo bonna balyewuunya, nga boogera nti, ‘Lwaki Mukama akoze ekifaanana bwe kiti ku nsi eno ne ku yeekaalu eno?’
22 And [men] shall say, Because they forsook the Lord God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and they attached themselves to other gods, and worshipped them, and served them: and therefore he has brought upon them all this evil.
Abantu baliddamu nti, ‘Kubanga baava ku Mukama, Katonda wa bajjajjaabwe eyabaggya mu Misiri, ne bagoberera bakatonda abalala, nga babasinza era nga babaweereza, kyavudde abaleetako emitawaana gino gyonna, ginnamuzisa.’”
