2 Chronicles 6
1 Then said Solomon: Jehovah said that he would dwell in the 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 of habitation for thee, even a settled place for thee to abide 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 the whole congregation of Israel; and the whole congregation of Israel stood.
Ní ìgbà tí gbogbo ìjọ Israẹli dúró níbẹ̀, ọba yíjú padà ó sì fi ìbùkún fún gbogbo wọn.
4 And he said: Blessed be Jehovah the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth unto David my father, and hath with his hands fulfilled it, 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 Since the day that I brought forth my people out of the land of Egypt I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house in, that my name might be there; neither chose I any man to be prince 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 have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and I have chosen 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 was in the heart of David my father to build a house unto the name of Jehovah the God of Israel.
“Baba mi Dafidi ti ní-in lọ́kàn láti kọ́ tẹmpili fún orúkọ Olúwa, àní Ọlọ́run Israẹli.
8 But Jehovah said to David my father, Whereas it was in thy heart to build a house unto my name, thou didst well that it was in 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; but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house unto 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 Jehovah has performed his word which he spoke; and I am risen up in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as Jehovah promised, and I have built the house unto the name of Jehovah 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 in it have I put the ark, wherein is the covenant of Jehovah, which he made with the children 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 And he stood before the altar of Jehovah in the presence of the whole congregation of Israel, and spread forth 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 platform of bronze, five cubits long, and five cubits broad, and three cubits high, and had set it in the midst of the court; and upon it he stood, and he kneeled down on his knees before the whole congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward the heavens,
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, Jehovah, God of Israel! there is no God like thee, in the heavens or on the earth, who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants that walk before thee with all their 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 who hast kept with thy servant David my father that which thou didst promise him; thou spokest with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled [it] with thy hand as at 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, Jehovah, God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that which thou hast promised him saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if only thy sons take heed to their way to walk in my law, as thou hast 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, Jehovah, God of Israel, let thy word be verified which thou hast spoken unto 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 But will God indeed dwell with man on the earth? behold, the heavens and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less 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 have respect unto the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, Jehovah, my God, to hearken unto the cry and to the prayer which thy servant prayeth before thee;
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 that thine eyes may be open upon this house day and night, upon the place in which thou hast said thou wouldest put thy name: to hearken unto the prayer which thy servant prayeth toward this place.

21 And hearken unto the supplications of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, which they shall pray toward this place, and hear thou from thy dwelling-place, from the heavens, and when thou hearest, forgive.

22 If a man have sinned against his neighbour, and an oath be laid upon him to adjure him, and the oath come before thine 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 hear thou from the heavens, and do, and judge thy servants, requiting the wicked, to bring his way upon his own head; and justifying the righteous, giving him according to his righteousness.

24 And if thy people Israel be put to the worse before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee, and shall turn again and confess 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,

26 When the heavens are shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee; if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, because thou hast afflicted 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 hear thou in the heavens, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, when thou teachest them the good way wherein they should walk; and give rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy people for an inheritance.

28 If there be famine in the land, if there be pestilence, if there be blight or mildew, locust or caterpillar; if their enemies besiege them in the land of their gates; whatever plague or whatever sickness there 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.

30 then hear thou from the heavens, the settled place of thy dwelling, and forgive, and render unto every man according to all his ways, whose heart thou knowest (for thou, thou only, knowest the hearts of the children of men),

32 And as to the stranger also, who is not of thy people Israel, but cometh out of a far country for thy great name's sake, and thy mighty hand and thy stretched-out arm; when they shall come and pray toward this house,
“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 then hear thou from the heavens, the settled place of thy dwelling, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for; in order that all peoples of the earth may know thy name, and may fear thee as do thy people Israel, and may know that this house which I have built is called by thy name.
