2 Chronicles 6
1 Then Solomon said: “The Lord has promised that he would dwell in a cloud.
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 his name, so that he may dwell there forever.”
ṣùgbọ́n èmi ti kọ́ tẹmpili dáradára fún ọ ibi tí ìwọ yóò máa gbé títí láé.”
3 And the king turned his face, and he blessed the entire multitude of Israel, (for the whole crowd was standing and attentive) and he said:
Ní ìgbà tí gbogbo ìjọ Israẹli dúró níbẹ̀, ọba yíjú padà ó sì fi ìbùkún fún gbogbo wọn.
4 “Blessed is the Lord, the God of Israel, who has completed the work that he spoke to David my father, 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 led my people away from the land of Egypt, I did not choose a city from all the tribes of Israel, so that a house would be built in it to my name. And I did not choose any other man, so that he would be the ruler of 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, so that my name would be in it. And I chose David, so that I might appoint him 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 though David, my father, had decided that he would build a house to 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 the Lord said to him: ‘In so far as it was your will that you build a house to my name, certainly you have done well in having such a will.
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 But you shall not build the house. Truly, your son, who will go forth from your loins, shall build a house to 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 Therefore, the Lord has accomplished his word, which he had spoken. And I have risen up in place of my father David, and I sit upon the throne of Israel, just as the Lord spoke. And I have built a house to the name of the Lord, the 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 placed in it the ark, in which is the covenant of the Lord that he formed with the sons of Israel.”
Níbẹ̀ ni èmi sì gbé àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa sí, nínú èyí ti májẹ̀mú ti Olúwa bá àwọn Israẹli ènìyàn mi dá wà.”
12 Then he stood before the altar of the Lord, facing the entire multitude of Israel, and he extended his hands.
Nígbà náà ni Solomoni dúró níwájú pẹpẹ Olúwa, ní iwájú gbogbo ìjọ ènìyàn Israẹli, ó sì tẹ́ ọwọ́ rẹ̀ méjèèjì.
13 For indeed, Solomon had made a bronze base, and he had positioned it in the midst of the hall; it held five cubits in length, and five cubits in width, and three cubits in height. And he stood upon it. And next, kneeling down while facing the entire multitude of Israel, and lifting up his palms towards 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 he said: “O Lord God of Israel, there is no god like you in heaven or on earth. You preserve covenant and mercy with your servants, who walk before you with all their hearts.
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 You fulfilled for your servant David, my father, whatsoever you had said to him. And you carried out the deed that you promised with your mouth, just as the present time proves.
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 Now then, O Lord God of Israel, fulfill for your servant David, my father, whatsoever you said to him, saying: ‘There shall not fail to be a man from you before me, who will sit upon the throne of Israel, yet only if your sons will guard their ways, and will walk in my law, just as you also have walked 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, O Lord God of Israel, let your word be confirmed that you spoke to your 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 How then is it to be believed that God would dwell with men upon the earth? If heaven and the heavens of the heavens do not contain you, how much less this house that 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 But it has been done for this only, so that you may look with favor upon the prayer of your servant, and on his supplication, O Lord my God, and so that you may hear the prayers which your servant pours out before you,
Síbẹ̀ ṣe àfiyèsí àdúrà ìránṣẹ́ rẹ àti ẹ̀bẹ̀ rẹ̀ fún àánú, Olúwa Ọlọ́run mi, gbọ́ ẹkún àti àdúrà tí ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ ń gbà níwájú rẹ.
20 and so that you may open your eyes over this house, day and night, over the place where you promised that your name would be invoked,
Kí ojú rẹ kí ó lè ṣí sí ilé Olúwa ní ọ̀sán àti lóru, ní ibí yìí tí ìwọ ti wí pé ìwọ yóò fi orúkọ rẹ síbẹ̀. Kí ìwọ kí ó gbọ́ àdúrà tí ìránṣẹ́ rẹ ń gbà lórí ibí yìí.
21 and so that you may heed the prayer which your servant is praying within it, and so that you may heed the prayers of your servant and of your people Israel. Whoever will pray in this place, listen from your habitation, that is, from heaven, and forgive.
Gbọ́ ẹ̀bẹ̀ ìránṣẹ́ rẹ àti ti àwọn ènìyàn Israẹli nígbà tí wọ́n bá ń gbàdúrà lórí ibí yìí. Gbọ́ láti ọ̀run, ibùgbé rẹ, nígbà tí ìwọ bá sì gbọ́, dáríjì.
22 If anyone will have sinned against his neighbor, and he arrives to swear against him, and to bind himself with a curse 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 you will hear him from heaven, and you will execute justice for your servants, so that you return, to the iniquitous man, his own way upon his own head, and so that you vindicate the just man, repaying him according to his own justice.
nígbà náà, gbọ́ láti ọ̀run kí o sì dáhùn. Ṣe ìdájọ́ láàrín àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ, san padà fún ẹni tí ó jẹ̀bi nípa mímú padà wá sí orí òun tìkára rẹ̀ ohun tí ó ti ṣe. Ṣe ìdáláre fún olódodo, bẹ́ẹ̀ sì ni, fi fún un gẹ́gẹ́ bí òdodo rẹ̀.
24 If your people Israel will have been overwhelmed by their enemies, (for they will sin against you) and having been converted will do penance, and if they will have beseeched your name, and will have prayed in this place,
“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 you will heed them from heaven, and you will forgive the sin of your people Israel, and you will lead them back into the land that you gave to them and to their fathers.

26 If the heavens have been closed, so that rain does not fall, because of the sin of the people, and if they will petition you in this place, and confess to your name, and be converted from their sins when you will 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 heed them from heaven, O Lord, and forgive the sins of your servants and of your people Israel, and teach them the good way, by which they may advance, and give rain to the land that you gave to your people as a possession.
nígbà náà gbọ́ láti ọ̀run kí o sì dárí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ jì àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ, àwọn ènìyàn Israẹli kọ́ wọn ní ọ̀nà tí ó tọ́ nínú èyí tí wọn ó máa rìn, kí o sì rọ òjò sórí ilẹ̀ tí o ti fi fún àwọn ènìyàn rẹ fún ìní.
28 If a famine will have risen up in the land, or pestilence, or fungus, or mildew, or locusts, or beetles, or if enemies will have laid waste to the countryside and will have besieged the gates of the cities, or whatever scourge or infirmity will have pressed upon them,
“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.
29 if anyone from your people Israel, knowing his own scourge and infirmity, will have made supplication and will have extended his hands in this house,
Nígbà tí àdúrà tàbí ẹ̀bẹ̀ bá sì wá láti ọ̀dọ̀ ẹnikẹ́ni àwọn ènìyàn rẹ Israẹli olúkúlùkù mọ̀ nípa ìpọ́njú rẹ̀ àti ìbànújẹ́, tí ó sì tẹ́ ọwọ́ rẹ̀ méjèèjì sí ìhà ilé Olúwa yìí.
30 you will heed him from heaven, indeed from your sublime habitation, and you will forgive, and you will repay each one according to his ways, which you know him to hold in his heart. For you alone know the hearts of the sons of men.
Nígbà náà gbọ́ láti ọ̀run ibùgbé rẹ dáríjì, kí o sì pín fún olúkúlùkù ènìyàn gẹ́gẹ́ bí i gbogbo ohun tí ó ṣe, nígbà tí ìwọ ti mọ ọkàn rẹ̀ (nítorí ìwọ nìkan ni ó mọ ọkàn ènìyàn.)
31 So may they fear you, and so may they walk in your ways, during all the days that they live upon the face of the land, which you gave to our fathers.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kí wọn kí ó lè bẹ̀rù rẹ kí wọn kí ó sì rìn ní ọ̀nà rẹ ní gbogbo ìgbà tí wọ́n ń gbé nínú ilé tí o ti fi fún àwọn baba wa.
32 Also, if the outsider, who is not from your people Israel, will have arrived from a far away land, because of your great name, and because of your robust hand and your outstretched arm, and if he will adore in this place,
“Ní ti àwọn àlejò tí wọn kò sí lára àwọn ènìyàn rẹ Israẹli ṣùgbọ́n tí wọ́n wá láti ọ̀nà jíjìn nítorí orúkọ ńlá rẹ àti ọwọ́ agbára rẹ àti nínà apá rẹ, nígbà tí ó bá wá tí ó sì gbàdúrà pẹ̀lú kíkojú si ilé Olúwa yìí.
33 you will heed him from heaven, your most firm habitation, and you will accomplish all the things about which this sojourner will have called out to you, so that all the people of the earth may know your name, and may fear you, just as your people Israel do, and so that they may know that your name is invoked over this house, which I have built.

34 If, having gone out to war against their adversaries along the way that you will send them, your people adore you facing in the direction of this city, which you have chosen, and of this house, which I have built to your name,
“Nígbà tí àwọn ènìyàn rẹ bá lọ sójú ogun lórí àwọn ọ̀tá wọn, nígbàkígbà tí o bá rán wọn, tí wọ́n sì gbàdúrà sí ọ si ìhà ìlú yìí tí ìwọ ti yàn àti ilé Olúwa tí èmi ti kọ́ fún orúkọ rẹ.

36 But if they will have sinned against you (for there is no man who does not sin) and you will have become angry against them, and if you will have delivered them to their enemies, and so they lead them away as captives to a far away land, or even to one that is near,
“Nígbà tí wọ́n bá sì dẹ́ṣẹ̀ sí ọ—nítorí kò sí ènìyàn kan tí kì í dẹ́ṣẹ̀—bí o bá sì bínú sí wọn tí o bá sì fi wọ́n fún àwọn ọ̀tá, tí wọ́n kó wọn ní ìgbèkùn sí ilẹ̀ tí ó jìnnà réré tàbí nítòsí,
37 and if, having been converted in their heart in the land to which they had been led as captives, they will do penance, and beseech you in the land of their captivity, saying, ‘We have sinned; we have committed iniquity; we have acted unjustly,’

38 and if they will have returned to you, with their whole heart and with their whole soul, in the land of their captivity to which they were led away, and if they will adore you in the direction of their own land, which you gave to their fathers, and of the city, which you have chosen, and of the house, which I have built to your name,

40 For you are my God. Let your eyes be open, I beg you, and let your ears be attentive to the prayer that is made in this place.
“Nísinsin yìí, Ọlọ́run mi, jẹ́ kí ojú rẹ kí ó ṣí kí o sì tẹ́ etí rẹ sílẹ̀ fún àdúrà sí ibí yìí.
41 Now therefore, rise up, O Lord God, to your resting place, you and the ark of your strength. Let your priests, O Lord God, be clothed with salvation, and let your holy ones rejoice in what is good.
“Ǹjẹ́ nísinsin yìí dìde, Olúwa Ọlọ́run mi, sí ibi ìsinmi rẹ,
