1 Kings 8
1 Then all those greater by birth of Israel, with the leaders of the tribes and the rulers of the families of the sons of Israel, gathered together before king Solomon at Jerusalem, so that they might carry the ark of the covenant of the Lord, from the city of David, that is, from Zion.
Mgbe ahụ, eze Solomọn kpọkọtara ndị okenye Izrel, na ndịisi ebo niile, na ndịisi ezinaụlọ Izrel niile, ka ha bịakwute eze na Jerusalem, maka i site na Zayọn bụ obodo Devid bugota igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị.
2 And all of Israel assembled before king Solomon, on the solemn day in the month of Ethanim, which is the seventh month.
Ndị Izrel niile gbakọtara bịakwute eze Solomọn nʼoge a na-eme mmemme nʼọnwa Etanim nke bụ ọnwa asaa nʼafọ.
3 And all the elders of Israel arrived, and the priests took up the ark.
Mgbe ndị okenye Izrel niile bịarutere, ndị nchụaja buliri igbe ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ.
4 And they carried the ark of the Lord, and the tabernacle of the covenant, and all the vessels of the Sanctuary, which were in the tabernacle; and the priests and the Levites carried these.
Ha bugotara igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị, ya na ụlọ nzute, na ngwongwo niile dị nsọ dị nʼime ya. Ndị nchụaja na ndị Livayị buliri ha elu.
5 Then king Solomon, and the entire multitude of Israel, who had assembled before him, advanced with him before the ark. And they immolated sheep and oxen, which could not be numbered or estimated.
Eze Solomọn na ọgbakọ Izrel niile, bụ ndị zukọtara nʼebe ọ nọ, nọ nʼihu igbe ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ, na-achụ aja ọtụtụ atụrụ na ọtụtụ ehi nke a na-apụghị ịgụta ọnụ maọbụ gbakọta ọnụọgụgụ ha nʼihi ịba ụba.
6 And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the Lord to its place, into the oracle of the temple, in the Holy of Holies, under the wings of the cherubim.
Ndị nchụaja bubatara igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị ahụ nʼime ime ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ, nʼime Ebe Kachasị Nsọ, dọba ya nʼokpuru nku cherubim ahụ.
7 For indeed, the cherubim extended their wings over the place of the ark, and they protected the ark and its bars from above.
Cherubim ndị ahụ gbasara nku ha nʼelu igbe ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ, zochie igbe ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ na okporo osisi ndị e ji ebu ya.
8 And since the bars projected outward, their ends were visible from without, in the Sanctuary before the oracle; but they were not visible farther outward. And they have been in that place even to the present day.
Okporo osisi ndị a dị oke ogologo, na e nwere ike ị site nʼEbe Nsọ, dị nʼihu ime ime ebe nsọ ahụ hụ isi ha anya, ma onye na-anọghị nʼEbe Nsọ ahụ adịghị ahụ ha. Ha ka dịkwa nʼebe ahụ ruo taa.
9 Now inside the ark, there was nothing other than the two tablets of stone, which Moses had placed in it at Horeb, when the Lord formed a covenant with the sons of Israel, when they departed from the land of Egypt.
O nweghị ihe dị nʼime igbe ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ, karịakwa mbadamba nkume abụọ ahụ Mosis tinyere nʼime ya nʼugwu Horeb, nʼebe Onyenwe anyị na ụmụ Izrel gbara ndụ, mgbe ha si nʼala Ijipt pụta.
10 Then it happened that, when the priests had exited from the Sanctuary, a cloud filled the house of the Lord.
Mgbe ndị nchụaja si nʼEbe Nsọ ahụ pụta, igwe ojii jupụtara ụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị ahụ.
11 And the priests were unable to stand and minister, because of the cloud. For the glory of the Lord had filled the house of the Lord.
Ndị nchụaja enwekwaghị ike jee ozi ha, nʼihi igwe ojii ahụ, nʼihi na ebube Onyenwe anyị jupụtara nʼime ụlọnsọ ya.
12 Then Solomon said: “The Lord has said that he would dwell in a cloud.
Mgbe ahụ, Solomọn sịrị, “Onyenwe anyị ekwuola na ọ ga-ebi nʼoke igwe ojii.
13 Building, I have built a house as your dwelling place, your most firm throne forever.”
Ma nʼezie, ewuola m ụlọnsọ pụrụ iche, maa mma nye gị, ebe ị ga-ebi ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.”
14 And the king turned his face, and he blessed the entire assembly of Israel. For the entire assembly of Israel was standing.
Dịka ọgbakọ Izrel niile na-eguzo nʼebe ahụ, eze chigharịrị onwe ya chee ha ihu, gọzie ha.
15 And Solomon said: “Blessed is the Lord, the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to my father David, and who, with his own hands, has perfected it, saying:
Mgbe ahụ, ọ sịrị, “Otuto dịrị Onyenwe anyị, bụ Chineke Izrel, onye ji aka ya mezuo nkwa nke o sitere nʼọnụ ya kwee nna m Devid. Nʼihi na o kwuru sị,
16 ‘From the day when I led my people Israel away from Egypt, I did not choose any city out of all the tribes of Israel, so that a house would be built, and so that my name might be there. Instead, I chose David to be over my people Israel.’
‘Site nʼụbọchị ahụ m si nʼala Ijipt kpọpụta ndị m, ahọpụtaghị m obodo ọbụla nʼebo ọbụla nke Izrel, ka e wuru m ụlọnsọ ka Aha m dịrị nʼebe ahụ. Ma a họrọla m Devid ị bụ onye ga-achị ndị m Izrel.’
17 And my father David wanted to build a house to the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.
“Nna m, Devid bu nʼobi iwu ụlọnsọ ukwu nye Aha Onyenwe anyị, bụ Chineke nke Izrel.
18 But the Lord said to my father David: ‘Since you have planned in your heart to build a house to my name, you have done well by considering this plan in your mind.
Ma Onyenwe anyị sịrị nna m, Devid, ‘I mere nke ọma ibu nʼobi iwu ụlọnsọ ukwu nye Aha m.
19 Yet truly, you shall not build a house for me. Instead, your son, who shall go forth from your loins, he himself shall build a house to my name.’
Ma otu ọ dị, ọ bụghị gị ga-ewu ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ, kama ọ bụ nwa gị nwoke, anụ ahụ gị na ọbara gị; ọ bụ ya ga-ewu ụlọnsọ ukwu nye Aha m.’
20 The Lord has confirmed his word which he spoke. And so I stand in place of my father David, and I sit upon the throne of Israel, just as the Lord said. And I have built a house to the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.
“Ugbu a, Onyenwe anyị emezuola nkwa ahụ o kwere. A nọchiela m nna m Devid, ugbu a, ana m anọdụ nʼocheeze nke Izrel dịka Onyenwe anyị kwere na nkwa. Ewuokwala m ụlọnsọ ukwu nye Aha Onyenwe anyị, bụ Chineke nke Izrel.
21 And there I have appointed a place for the ark, in which is the covenant of the Lord that he struck with our fathers, when they went forth from the land of Egypt.”
Edoziekwala m ọnọdụ ebe igbe ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ ga-adị, nʼime ya ka ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị dị, bụ nke ya na nna nna anyị ha gbara, mgbe o mere ka ha si nʼala Ijipt pụta.”
22 Then Solomon stood before the altar of the Lord, in the sight of the assembly of Israel, and he extended his hands toward heaven.
Mgbe ahụ, Solomọn guzoro nʼihu ebe ịchụ aja Onyenwe anyị, na nʼihu ọgbakọ ụmụ Izrel niile, gbasapụ aka ya abụọ chilie ha elu,
23 And he said: “Lord God of Israel, there is no God like you, in heaven above, nor on the earth below. You preserve covenant and mercy with your servants, who walk before you with all their heart.
kwuo sị, “Onyenwe anyị, Chineke nke Izrel, ọ dịghị Chineke dịka gị nʼeluigwe nke dị nʼelu, maọbụ nʼụwa, nʼokpuru eluigwe. Gị onye na-edebe ọgbụgba ndụ ịhụnanya gị na ndị ohu gị, bụ ndị ji obi ha niile na-eso ụzọ gị.
24 You have fulfilled, for your servant David, my father, that which you said to him. With your mouth, you spoke; and with your hands, you completed; just as this day proves.
I mezuokwala nkwa niile i kwere nna m Devid, bụ ohu gị. I ji ọnụ gị kwee nkwa a ma taa, i jirila aka gị mezuo ya.
25 Now therefore, O Lord God of Israel, fulfill, for your servant David, my father, that which you spoke to him, saying, ‘There shall not be taken away from you a man before me, who may sit upon the throne of Israel, if only your sons will guard their way, so that they walk before me, just as you have walked in my sight.’
“Ugbu a, O! Onyenwe anyị, Chineke nke Izrel, mezukwaa nkwa niile i kwere Devid nna m, mgbe ị sịrị, ‘Ọ bụrụ na ụmụ ụmụ gị elezie anya bie ndụ nʼụzọ kwesiri ntụkwasị obi nʼihu m, nʼihe niile ha na-eme, dịka gị onwe gị mere, agaghị achọ onye ga-anọ nʼihu m nʼocheeze Izrel nʼime ha.’
26 And now, O Lord God of Israel, establish your words, which you spoke to your servant David, my father.
Ma ugbu a, Chineke nke Izrel, ka okwu gị, bụ nkwa nke i kwere ohu gị, bụ nna m Devid, bịa na mmezu.
27 Is it, then, to be understood that truly God would dwell upon the earth? For if heaven, and the heavens of heavens, are not able to contain you, how much less this house, which I have built?
“Ma ọ bụ ezie na gị Chineke ga-ebi nʼelu ụwa? Lee, eluigwe ọbụladị ebe kachasị elu nke eluigwe, ezughị ịba gị. Olee otu ụlọ a nke m wuru ga-esi bata gị?
28 Yet look with favor upon the prayer of your servant and upon his petitions, O Lord, my God. Listen to the hymn and the prayer, which your servant prays before you this day,
Ma Onyenwe anyị Chineke m, ṅaa ntị nʼekpere ohu gị, na arịrịọ ọ na-arịọ maka ebere. Nụrụ akwa na ekpere nke ohu gị na-ekpe nʼihu gị taa.
29 so that your eyes may be open over this house, night and day, over the house about which you said, ‘My name shall be there,’ so that you may heed the prayer that your servant is praying in this place to you.
Biko, mee ka anya gị abụọ ghere oghe nʼebe ụlọnsọ ukwu a dị, abalị na ehihie, bụ ebe a i kwuru banyere ya, sị, ‘Aha m ga-adị nʼebe ahụ,’ ka i si otu a nụrụ ekpere nke ohu gị ga-ekpe banyere ebe a.
30 So may you heed the supplication of your servant and of your people Israel, whatever they will pray for in this place, and so may you heed them in your dwelling place in heaven. And when you heed, you will be gracious.
Nụrụkwa arịrịọ ohu gị na nke ndị gị Izrel niile, mgbe ọbụla ha chere ihu ha nʼebe a nʼekpere. Biko, site nʼeluigwe bụ ebe obibi gị nụrụ, mgbe ị nụrụ biko, gbagharakwa.
31 But if any man sins against his neighbor, and he has any kind of an oath by which he is bound, and he arrives because of the oath, before your altar in your house,
“Mgbe onye ọbụla mehiere mmadụ ibe ya, a kpọọ ya oku ka ọ bịa ṅụọ iyi, onye dị otu a bịa, guzo nʼebe a, nʼihu ebe ịchụ aja gị a, ṅụọ iyi ahụ.
32 you will hear in heaven, and you will act and judge your servants, condemning the impious, and repaying his own way upon his own head, but justifying the just, and rewarding him in accord with his justice.
Mgbe ahụ, nụrụ olu ya nʼeluigwe ma mee ihe ziri ezi. Kpeekwa ikpe nʼetiti ndị ohu gị, maa onye mejọrọ ikpe site nʼịtụkwasị nʼisi ha ihe o metara, meekwa ka onye aka ya dị ọcha nwere onwe ya, site nʼimeso ha dịka ezi omume ha si dị.
33 And if your people Israel will have fled from their enemies, because they have sinned against you, and doing penance and confessing to your name, shall arrive and pray and petition you in this house,
“Mgbe ndị iro meriri ndị gị Izrel, nʼihi na ha mehiere megide gị, ọ bụrụ na ha alọghachikwute gị, too aha gị, na-ekpe ekpere, na-arịọ gị arịrịọ nʼụlọnsọ ukwu a,
34 listen in heaven, and forgive the sin of your people Israel, and lead them back to the land, which you gave to their fathers.
biko, site nʼeluigwe nụrụ ekpere ha, gbaghara mmehie ndị gị Izrel. Meekwa ka ha lọghachita nʼala ahụ nke i nyere nna nna ha.
35 And if the heavens have closed, so that there is no rain, because of their sins, and they, praying in this place, shall do penance to your name, and shall be converted from their sins, by occasion of their afflictions,
“Mgbe e gbochiri eluigwe, mee na mmiri adịghị ezokwa, nʼihi na ndị gị emehiela megide gị, ọ bụrụ na ha echee ihu nʼebe a kpee ekpere, too aha gị, si na mmehie ha chegharịa, nʼihi na ịtaala ha ahụhụ.
36 hear them from heaven, and forgive the sins of your servants and of your people Israel. And reveal to them the good way, along which they should walk, and grant rain upon your land, which you have given to your people as a possession.
Biko, site nʼeluigwe nụrụ ma gbagharakwa mmehie ndị ohu gị, bụ ndị gị Izrel. Kuziere ha ezi ụzọ ha ga-esi bie ndụ ma zidata mmiri ozuzo nʼala ahụ nke i nyere ndị gị ka ọ bụrụ ihe nketa ha.
37 Then, if famine rises over the land, or pestilence, or corrupt air, or blight, or locust, or mildew, or if their enemy afflicts them, besieging the gates, or any harm or infirmity,
“Mgbe ụnwụ maọbụ ajọ ọrịa na-efe efe ga-adakwasị ala a, maọbụ ọrịa na-eripịa ihe ubi maọbụ ọmụma ebu, maọbụ igurube maọbụ ụkpana, maọbụ mgbe onye iro nọchibidoro ha nʼobodo ha niile, ihe mbibi niile maọbụ ọrịa ọbụla,
38 or whatever curse or divine intervention may happen to any man among your people Israel, if anyone understands, having been wounded in his heart, and if he will have extended his hands in this house,
ekpere ọbụla maọbụ arịrịọ nke onye ọbụla nʼetiti ndị gị Izrel kpere ma rịọọ, nʼihi ịghọta ihe otiti niile nke obi ha, ha gbasapụ aka ha, ma chee ihu ha nʼebe ụlọnsọ ukwu dị,
39 you will hear in heaven, in your dwelling place, and you will forgive. And you will act so that you give to each one in accord with his own ways, just as you see in his heart, for you alone know the heart of all the sons of men.
mgbe ahụ, site nʼeluigwe bụ ebe obibi gị nụrụ arịrịọ ha. Gbaghara ma meekwa; mesoo onye ọbụla dịka ihe niile ha na-eme si dị, ebe ọ bụ na ị maara obi ha niile, nʼihi na naanị gị maara obi mmadụ ọbụla,
40 So may they fear you, all the days that they live upon the face of the land, which you have given to our fathers.
ka ha tụọ egwu gị oge niile nke ha na-ebi nʼala ahụ nke i nyere nna nna anyị ha.
41 Moreover, the foreigner too, who is not of your people Israel, when he will have arrived from a distant land because of your name, for they shall hear about your great name, and your strong hand,
“Ma banyere onye mba ọzọ, onye na-esonyeghị na ndị gị Izrel, kama o si nʼala ebe dị anya bịa nʼihi Aha gị,
42 and your outstretched arm everywhere: so when he arrives and prays in this place,

43 you will listen in heaven, in the firmament of your dwelling place. And you will do all the things, for which that foreigner will have called upon you. So may all the peoples of the earth learn to fear your name, just as your people Israel do. And so may they show that your name has been invoked over this house, which I have built.
mgbe ahụ, site nʼeluigwe ebe obibi gị nụrụ arịrịọ ha. Mekwaa ihe niile nke onye mba ọzọ ahụ na-arịọ nʼekpere, ka ndị niile nke ụwa mara aha gị, tụọkwa egwu gị, dịka ndị nke gị bụ Izrel na-eme, ka ha matakwa na-akpọkwasịrị Aha gị nʼụlọ a nke m wuru.
44 And if your people have gone out to war against their enemies, along whatever way you will send them, they shall pray to you in the direction of the city, which you have chosen, and toward the house, which I have built to your name.
“Mgbe ndị gị ga-aga ibu agha megide ndị iro ha, nʼebe ọbụla ị na-eziga ha, mgbe ha chere ihu ha nʼụzọ obodo a nke ị họpụtara na nʼụlọnsọ ukwu a m wuru nye Aha gị, kpee ekpere nye Onyenwe anyị,
45 And you will hear in heaven their prayers and their petitions. And you will accomplish judgment for them.
mgbe ahụ, site nʼeluigwe nụrụ ekpere na arịrịọ amara ha, mezukwa ihe ha na-arịọ (dịnyekwara ha).
46 But if they sin against you, for there is no man who does not sin, and you, being angry, deliver them to their enemies, and they will have been led away as captives to the land of their enemies, whether far or near,
“Mgbe ha mehiere megide gị, nʼihi na ọ dịghị mmadụ ọbụla na-adịghị emehie, ị wee iwe megide ha, rara ha nyefee nʼaka ndị iro ha, ndị dọkpụrụ ha nʼagha gaa nʼobodo ọzọ, maọbụ obodo dị anya maọbụ nke dị nso;
47 and if they do penance in their heart, in the place of captivity, and having been converted, make supplication to you in their captivity, saying, ‘We have sinned; we acted unjustly; we committed impiety,’
ọ bụrụ na ha anọrọ nʼala ahụ a dọkpụrụ ha gaa, chegharịa nʼobi ha, nọrọ nʼala ebe ahụ eji ha rịọọ gị, sị, ‘Anyị emehiela, anyị emeela ihe nʼadịghị mma, anyị emekwala ajọ omume’;
48 and they return to you with all their heart and all their soul, in the land of their enemies, to which they have been led away as captives, and if they pray to you in the direction of their land, which you gave to their fathers, and of the city, which you have chosen, and of the temple, which I have built to your name:

49 you will hear in heaven, in the firmament of your throne, their prayers and their petitions. And you will accomplish their judgment.
mgbe ahụ, site nʼeluigwe, ebe obibi gị, nụrụ ekpere ha na arịrịọ ha, nyekwara ha aka.
50 And you will forgive your people, who have sinned against you, and all their iniquities, by which they have transgressed against you. And you will grant to them mercy in the sight of those who have made them captives, so that they may take pity on them.
Gbaghara ndị gị, bụ ndị mehiere megide gị, gbaghara njehie niile ha mere megide gị, ma meekwa ka ndị dọtara ha nʼagha gosi ha obi ebere.
51 For they are your people and your inheritance, whom you have led away from the land of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron.
Nʼihi na ha bụ ndị gị na oke gị, ndị i mere ka ha si nʼala Ijipt pụta, ala oke ịta ahụhụ nke nhụju anya.
52 So may your eyes be open to the supplication of your servant and of your people Israel. And so may you heed them in all the things about which they will call upon you.
“Ka anya gị ghere oghe nʼarịrịọ mụ bụ ohu gị, nakwa nʼarịrịọ ndị gị Izrel, biko, na-egekwa ha ntị mgbe ọbụla ha bekuru gị akwa.
53 For you have separated them to yourself as an inheritance, from among all the peoples of the earth, just as you spoke by Moses, your servant, when you led our fathers away from Egypt, O Lord God.”
Nʼihi na gị onwe gị kewapụtara ha site na mba niile nke ụwa ka ha bụụrụ gị ihe nketa, dịka ị kwupụtara site nʼọnụ ohu gị bụ Mosis, mgbe gị bụ Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị mere ka nna nna anyị ha si nʼala Ijipt pụta.”
54 And it happened that, when Solomon had completed praying this entire prayer and supplication to the Lord, he rose up from the sight of the altar of the Lord. For he had fixed both knees upon the ground, and he had extended his hands toward heaven.
Mgbe Solomọn kpechara ekpere ndị a ya na arịrịọ ọ rịọrọ Onyenwe anyị o si nʼihu ebe ịchụ aja Onyenwe anyị, bụ ebe o gburu ikpere nʼala, bilie, gbasapụ aka ya abụọ chilie ha elu.
55 Then he stood and blessed the entire assembly of Israel in a great voice, saying:
O guzoro gọzie ọgbakọ Izrel niile, gwa ha okwu nʼoke olu sị ha,
56 “Blessed is the Lord, who has given rest to his people Israel, in accord with all that he said. Not even one word, out of all the good things that he spoke by his servant Moses, has fallen away.
“Onye a gọziri agọzi ka Onyenwe anyị bụ, onye nyere ndị ya, Izrel izuike dịka o kwere na nkwa. Ọ dịkwaghị okwu ọbụla nke na-emezughị nʼime ezi nkwa ahụ niile o kwere site nʼọnụ Mosis ohu ya.
57 May the Lord our God be with us, just as he was with our fathers, not abandoning us, and not rejecting us.
Ka Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị dịnyere anyị, dịka o si dịnyere nna nna anyị ha. Ka ọ gharakwa ịhapụ anyị, maọbụ gbakụta anyị azụ.
58 But may he incline our hearts to himself, so that we may walk in all his ways, and keep his commandments, and his ceremonies, and whatever judgments he commanded to our fathers.
Ya nyekwa anyị mmụọ ime ihe niile ọ chọrọ, dịka uche nsọ ya si dị, na mmụọ ijezi ije nʼụzọ ya niile, na idebe ụkpụrụ na iwu niile nke o nyere nna nna anyị ha.
59 And may these my words, by which I have prayed before the Lord, be near to the Lord our God, day and night, so that he may accomplish judgment for his servant and for his people Israel, throughout each day.
Ka okwu m ndị a niile, nke m ji rịọ amara nʼihu Onyenwe anyị dịkwa Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị nso ehihie na abalị. Ka o nyekwara ohu ya na ndị Izrel niile aka, dịka mkpa ụbọchị ọbụla si dị.
60 So may all the peoples of the earth know that the Lord himself is God, and there is no other beside him.
Ka ndị niile bi nʼụwa mara na Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke, marakwa na o nweghị chi ọzọ dị karịa ya.
61 Also, may our hearts be perfect with the Lord our God, so that we may walk in his decrees, and keep his commandments, as also on this day.”
Ya mere, werenụ obi unu nyechasịa Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke anyị, kpamkpam, na-ebinụ ndụ nʼụkpụrụ ya, rubenụ isi nʼiwu ya, dịka ọ dị taa.”
62 Then the king, and all of Israel with him, immolated victims before the Lord.
Mgbe ahụ, eze ya na ndị Izrel niile chụrụ aja dị iche iche nʼihu Onyenwe anyị.
63 And Solomon slew sacrifices of peace offerings, which he immolated to the Lord: twenty-two thousand oxen, and twenty thousand one hundred sheep. And the king and all the sons of Israel dedicated the temple of the Lord.
Solomọn chụrụ aja udo, bụ nke ọ chụrụ nye Onyenwe anyị. Ehi dị puku iri abụọ na abụọ, na ewu na atụrụ dị narị puku na iri puku abụọ. Ya mere, eze na ndị Izrel niile si otu a doo ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị nsọ.
64 On that day, the king sanctified the middle of the atrium, which was before the house of the Lord. For in that place, he offered holocaust, and sacrifice, and the fat of peace offerings. For the bronze altar, which was before the Lord, was too small and was not able to hold the holocaust, and the sacrifice, and the fat of the peace offerings.
Nʼotu ụbọchị ahụ kwa, eze doro etiti ogige dị nʼihu ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị ahụ nsọ. Nʼebe ahụ ka ọ nọ chụọ aja nsure ọkụ, aja onyinye mkpụrụ ọka na aja abụba udo.

65 Then Solomon made, at that time, a celebratory festival, and all of Israel with him, a great multitude, from the entrance of Hamath to the river of Egypt, in the sight of the Lord our God, for seven days plus seven days, that is, fourteen days.
Ya mere, Solomọn ya na ndị Izrel niile mere mmemme a nʼoge ahụ, ọ bụ nzukọ dị ukwuu. Ndị mmadụ bịara sitere na Lebo Hamat ruo na mmiri iyi Ijipt. Ha mere mmemme a nʼihu Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị, ụbọchị asaa tinyere ụbọchị asaa ọzọkwa, ya bụ agụkọta ha ụbọchị iri na anọ.
66 And on the eighth day, he dismissed the people. And blessing the king, they set out for their tents, rejoicing and cheerful in heart over all the good things that the Lord had done for his servant David and for his people Israel.
Nʼụbọchị nke na-eso ya, o zilagara ndị ahụ niile. Ha gọziri eze, laakwa nʼụlọ ha, nʼịṅụrị ọṅụ na obi ụtọ nʼihi ihe ọma niile nke Onyenwe anyị meere ohu ya Devid, na ndị ya Izrel.
