1 Kings 8
1 Then Solomon summoned before him in Jerusalem the elders of Israel, including all the heads of the tribes and the family leaders of the Israelites. He instructed them to bring up with them the Ark of the Lord's Agreement from Zion, the City of David.
Ergasii Solomoon Mootichi Xiyoon Magaalaa Daawit irraa taabota kakuu Waaqayyoo ol fichisiisuudhaaf jedhee maanguddoota Israaʼel, abbootii gosootaa hundaa fi hangafoota maatiiwwan Israaʼel Yerusaalemitti fuula ofii isaa duratti walitti waame.
2 All the men of Israel assembled before King Solomon at the festival which is held in the seventh month, the month of Ethanim.
Israaʼeloonni hundinuus jiʼa Eetaaniim, jiʼa torbaffaa keessa yeroo ayyaanaatti Solomoon Mooticha biratti walitti qabaman.
3 When all the elders of Israel had gathered, the priests picked up the Ark and brought the Ark of the Lord and the Tent of Meeting with all its holy items.
Yommuu maanguddoonni Israaʼel hundi achi gaʼanitti luboonni taaboticha ol fuudhan;
4 The priests and Levites carried them up.
isaanis taabota Waaqayyoo sana, dunkaana wal gaʼiitii fi miʼoota qulqulleeffaman dunkaanicha keessa turan hunda ni fidan. Luboonnii fi Lewwonnis baatanii ol isaan fidan;
5 In front of the Ark, King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel who had gathered there with him sacrificed many, many sheep and bulls—so numerous they couldn't be counted!
Solomoon Mootichii fi waldaan Israaʼel kan isa biratti walitti qabaman guutuun hoolotaa fi loon akka malee baayʼatanii galmeessuu fi lakkaaʼuun hin dandaʼamne aarsaa dhiʼeessaa isa wajjin fuula taabotaa dura turan.
6 Then the priests carried the Ark of the Lord's Agreement to its place in the inner sanctuary of the Temple, the Most Holy Place, underneath the wings of the cherubim.
Luboonnis ergasii taabota kakuu Waaqayyoo sana iddoo isaa gara kutaa qulqullicha mana qulqullummaa keessaa jechuunis Iddoo Iddoo Hunda Caalaa Qulqulluu taʼe sanatti ol galchanii qoochoo kiirubeelii jala kaaʼan.
7 The cherubim spread their wings over the place where the Ark was, covering the Ark and its carrying poles.
Kiirubeeliinis iddoo taabotichaa irratti qoochoowwan isaanii babalʼisanii taabotichaa fi danqaraawwan ittiin taabota baatan gaaddiseessan.
8 The poles were so long that the ends could be seen from the Holy Place in front of the inner sanctuary, but not from outside. They are there to this day.
Danqaraawwan kunneen waan akka malee dhedheerataniif fiixeen isaanii Iddoo Qulqulluu fuula iddoo qulqulluu gara keessaa jiru sanaa duraa ni mulʼatu ture; garuu Iddoo Qulqulluu sanaa alatti hin mulʼatan ture; danqaraawwan kunneen hamma harʼaatti illee achuma jiru.
9 There was nothing in the Ark apart from the two tablets of stone that Moses had placed in it at Horeb, where the Lord had made an agreement with the Israelites after they came out of the land of Egypt.
Taabota sana keessa gabateewwan dhagaa kanneen Museen Kooreebitti iddoo Waaqayyo erga Israaʼeloonni Gibxii baʼanii booddee itti isaan wajjin kakuu seene sanatti isa keessa kaaʼe lamaan malee wanni tokko iyyuu hin turre.
10 When the priests left the Holy Place, the cloud filled the Temple of the Lord.
Akkuma luboonni Iddoo Qulqulluu sana keessaa baʼaniin duumessi mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo guute.
11 Due to the cloud, the priests could not stay there to carry out their service, for the glory of the Lord had filled the Lord's Temple.
Luboonnis sababii duumessa sanaatiif hojii isaanii hojjechuu hin dandeenye; ulfinni Waaqayyoo mana qulqullummaa isaa guutee tureetii.
12 Then Solomon said: “Lord, you said that you would live in the thick cloud.
Ergasii Solomoon akkana jedhe; “Waaqayyo akka duumessa dukkanaaʼaa keessa jiraatu dubbateera;
13 Now I have built for you a majestic Temple, a place where you may live for ever.”
ani dhugumaan mana qulqullummaa guddaa, iddoo ati bara baraan jiraattu siif ijaareera.”
14 The king turned around to the whole assembly of Israel who were standing there, and blessed them,
Utuma waldaan Israaʼel guutuun achi dhaabatuu mootichi of irra garagalee isaan eebbise.
15 saying, “Praise the Lord, the God of Israel, who by his own power has fulfilled the promise he made to my father David when he said,
Akkanas jedhe: “Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel inni waan afaan ofii isaatiin abbaa koo Daawitiif waadaa gale sana harkuma ofii isaatiin guute sun haa eebbifamu. Innis akkana jedhee tureetii;
16 ‘Since the day I brought my people Israel out of Egypt I have not chosen any town of the tribes of Israel as the place to build a Temple to honor me. But I have chosen David as king over my people Israel.’
‘Ani gaafan saba koo Israaʼelin Gibxii baasee jalqabee akka Maqaan koo achi jiraatuuf jedhee mana qulqullummaa itti ijaarsifachuuf gosoota Israaʼel kam iyyuu keessatti magaalaa tokko illee hin filanne; garuu akka inni saba koo Israaʼelin bulchuuf Daawitin filadheera.’
17 My father David really wanted to build a Temple to honor the Lord, the God of Israel.
“Daawit abbaan koo Maqaa Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼeliif mana qulqullummaa ijaaruuf garaa isaatii yaada qaba ture.
18 But the Lord told my father David, ‘You had the desire to build a Temple to honor me, and it was good that you really wanted to do this.
Waaqayyo garuu abbaa koo Daawitiin akkana jedhe; ‘Waan mana qulqullummaa Maqaa kootiif ijaaruun yaada kee keessa jiruuf, ati yaada kana garaadhaa qabaachuun kee gaarii dha.
19 But it won't be you who will build this Temple, but your son who is to be born to you—he will build the Temple to honor me.'
Taʼus namni mana qulqullummaa naaf ijaaru siʼi miti; garuu ilma kee isuma foon keetii fi dhiiga kee taʼetu ijaara; namni mana qulqullummaa Maqaa kootiif ijaaru isa.’
20 Now the Lord has kept his promise that he made. I have succeeded my father David, and I sit on the throne of Israel, just as the Lord promised. I have built the Temple to honor the Lord, the God of Israel.
“Waaqayyo waadaa gale sana eegeera; akkuma Waaqayyo waadaa gale sana ani amma iddoo abbaa koo Daawit buʼee teessoo Israaʼel irra taaʼeen jira; Maqaa Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼeliifis mana qulqullummaa ijaareera.
21 I have provided a place there for the Ark, which contains the agreement of the Lord that he made with our forefathers when he led them out of the land of Egypt.”
Anis achi keessatti taabotaaf iddoo qopheesseera; taabota sana keessa immoo kakuu Waaqayyoo kan inni yeroo Gibxii isaan baasetti abbootii keenya wajjin gale sanatu jira.”
22 Then Solomon stood in front of the altar of the Lord before the whole assembly of Israel and held out his hands toward heaven.
Solomoon iddoo aarsaa Waaqayyoo duratti fuula guutummaa waldaa Israaʼel dura dhaabatee harka isaa gara samiitti ol balʼisee
23 He said, “Lord, God of Israel, there is no God like you in heaven above or on earth below. You keep you agreement of trustworthy love with your servants, those who are totally committed to following you.
akkanas jedhe: “Yaa Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼel, Waaqni akka keetii ol samii keessa yookaan gad lafa irra hin jiru; ati garboota kee warra garaa guutuudhaan karaa kee irra deemaniif kakuu fi jaalala kee kan hin geeddaramne sana ni eegda.
24 You have kept the promise you made to your servant David, my father. You yourself promised, and by your own power you have fulfilled it today.
Ati waadaa garbicha kee abbaa koo Daawitiif galte sana eegdeerta; ati afaanuma keetiin waadaa galtee akkuma harʼa taʼee jiru kana harka keetiin fiixaan baafteerta.
25 So now, Lord, God of Israel, please also keep the promise you made to your servant, my father David, when you said: ‘You will never fail to have a descendant sit in my presence on the throne of Israel, as long as they make sure to follow me as you have done.’
“Ammas yaa Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼel, ati waan garbicha kee abbaa koo Daawitiin, ‘Yoo ilmaan kee akkuma ati goote sana waan hojjetan hunda keessatti of eeggachaa, amanamummaan fuula koo dura deddeebiʼan, ati nama fuula koo dura teessoo Israaʼel irra taaʼu gonkumaa hin dhabdu’ jettee abdachiifte sana eegiif.
26 Now, God of Israel, please keep the promise you made to our servant, my father David.
Kanaafuu amma yaa Waaqa Israaʼel dubbiin ati garbicha kee abbaa koo Daawitiif waadaa galte sun haa mirkanaaʼu.
27 But will God really live here on earth? The heavens, even highest heaven, cannot contain you, much less this Temple I have built!
“Garuu dhugumaan Waaqni lafa irra ni jiraataa? Samiiwwan, samiiwwan samii olii iyyuu si baachuu hin dandaʼan. Yoos manni qulqullummaa kan ani ijaare kun hammam haa xinnaatu ree!
28 Please hear the prayer of your servant and his request, Lord my God. Please hear the appeals and the prayers that your servant is presenting before you today.
Taʼus yaa Waaqayyo Waaqa ko, kadhannaa fi waammata garbichi kee araara barbaaduuf dhiʼeessuuf gurra kenni. Iyyaa fi kadhannaa garbichi kee harʼa fuula kee duratti dhiʼeessu illee dhagaʼi.
29 May you watch over this Temple day and night, caring for the place where you said you would be honored. May you hear the prayer your servant prays toward this place,
Akka ati kadhannaa garbichi kee fuula isaa garanatti deebifatee kadhatuuf iji kee halkanii fi guyyaa gara mana qulqullummaa kanaa, gara iddoo ati, ‘Maqaan koo achi jiraata’ jette kanaa haa ilaalu.
30 and may you hear the request of your servant and your people Israel when they pray toward this place. Please hear from heaven where you live. May you hear and forgive.
Yommuu isaan gara iddoo kanaatti fuula deebifatanii kadhatanitti waammata garbicha keetii fi kan saba kee Israaʼel dhagaʼi. Samii keessaa, iddoo jireenya keetiitii dhagaʼi; yommuu dhageessuttis dhiifama godhi.
31 When someone sins against another and is required to take an oath before your altar in this Temple,
“Yoo namni tokko ollaa ofii isaatti daba hojjetee akka kakatu gaafatamee, innis dhufee mana qulqullummaa kana keessatti fuula iddoo aarsaa keetii duratti kakate,
32 listen from heaven—act and judge your servants. Pay back the guilty; vindicate and reward those who do right.
ati samii irraa dhagaʼiitii tarkaanfii fudhadhu. Nama yakka qabu, yakka isaa matuma isaatti deebistee gatii isaa kennuufiidhaan, nama qajeelaa immoo akkuma qajeelummaa isaatti isaaf falmuudhaan garboota kee gidduutti murtii kenni.
33 When your people Israel are defeated by an enemy because they have sinned against you, and if they come back in repentance to you, praying for forgiveness in this Temple,
“Yoo sabni kee Israaʼel sababii cubbuu sitti hojjeteef diinaan moʼatamutti, yoo inni gara keetti deebiʼee maqaa keetiif ulfina kennee mana qulqullummaa kana keessatti kadhatee si waammatutti,
34 then hear from heaven and forgive the sin of your people Israel, and bring them back to the land you gave to them and their forefathers.
samii irraa dhagaʼiitii cubbuu saba kee Israaʼel dhiisiif; biyya abbootii isaaniitiif kennite sanattis deebisii isaan galchi.
35 If the skies are closed shut and there is no rain because your people have sinned against you, if they pray toward this place and if they come back in repentance to you, turning away from their sin because you have punished them,
“Yoo sababii sabni kee cubbuu sitti hojjeteef samiiwwan cufamanii bokkaan dhabame, yoo isaan sababii ati isaan adabdeef iddoo kanatti fuula deebifatanii maqaa kee ulfeessanii cubbuu isaanii irraa deebiʼan,
36 then hear from heaven and forgive the sin of your servants, your people Israel. Teach them the good way so that they can walk on it, and send rain on the earth that you have given to your people as their possession.
ati samii irraa dhagaʼiitii cubbuu garboota kee saba kee Israaʼel dhiisiif. Karaa qajeelaa isaan jiraachuu qaban isaan barsiisi; biyya dhaala gootee saba keetiif kennite irrattis bokkaa roobsi.
37 If there is famine in the land, or disease, or blight or mildew on the crops, or if there are locusts or caterpillars, or if an enemy comes to lay siege to the towns in the land—it can be whatever kind of plague or whatever kind of disease—
“Yommuu beelli yookaan dhaʼichi yookaan waagiin yookaan awwaaroon yookaan hawwaannisni yookaan korophisni biyyatti dhufutti, yookaan yommuu magaalaawwan biyya isaanii kam iyyuu keessatti diinni isaan marsutti, yookaan yommuu balaan yookaan dhukkubni kam iyyuu dhufutti,
38 then whatever kind of prayer or whatever kind of appeal is made by anyone or all your people Israel, in fact anyone who, knowing their problems and pains, prays toward this Temple,
yoo sabni kee Israaʼel rakkina garaa ofii isaa beekee isaan keessaa eenyu iyyuu gara mana qulqullummaa kanaatti harka isaa balʼisee kadhannaa yookaan waammata dhiʼeesse,
39 then hear from heaven, the place where you live, and forgive. Give according to the way they live their lives, for you know what people are really like inside, and you alone know the true character of people.
ati samii irraa, iddoo jireenya keetiitii dhagaʼi. Dhiifama godhiif; gargaaris. Si qofatu garaa namaa beekaatii, ati sababii garaa isaa beektuuf tokkoo tokkoo namaatiif akkuma hojii isaa hundaatti waan isaaf malu kenni;
40 Then they will respect you and follow your ways all the time they live in the land you gave to our forefathers.
yoo akkasii isaan bara biyya ati abbootii keenyaaf kennite keessa jiraatan hunda si sodaataniif.
41 As for the foreigners who do not belong to your people Israel but who come from a distant land,
“Akkasumas nama ormaa kan saba kee Israaʼel hin taʼin kan maqaa keetiif jedhee,
42 having heard of your great nature and power and ability to help, when they come and pray toward this Temple,
sababii isaan waaʼee maqaa kee guddichaa, harka kee jabaa fi irree kee kan diriirfame sanaa dhagaʼaniif biyya fagootii dhufe, yoo inni dhufee fuula isaa gara mana qulqullummaa kanaatti deebifatee kadhate,
43 then hear from heaven, the place where you live, and give them what they're asking. That way, everyone on earth will come to know and respect you, just as your own people Israel do. They will also know that this Temple I have built is dedicated to you.
ati samii irraa, iddoo jireenya keetiitii dhagaʼi. Akka saboonni addunyaa hundinuu akkuma saba kee Israaʼel sana maqaa kee beekanii si sodaatanii fi akka isaan akka manni ani ijaare kun maqaa keetiin waamamu illee beekaniif jedhii waan namni ormaa sun si kadhatu hunda godhiif.
44 When your people go to fight against their enemies, wherever you send them, and when they pray to you towards the city you have chosen and the house I have built to honor you,
“Yommuu sabni kee diinota isaa loluuf jedhee gara ati itti isa ergitu kam iyyuu duulutti, yoo inni gara magaalaa ati filattee fi gara mana qulqullummaa kan ani Maqaa keetiif ijaare kanaatti fuula deebifatee Waaqayyoon kadhate,
45 then hear from heaven what they are praying and asking for, and support their cause.
ati samii irraa kadhannaa isaatii fi waammata isaa dhagaʼiitii dhimma isaa isaaf raawwadhu.
46 If they sin against you—and there is nobody who does not sin—you may become angry with them and hand them over to an enemy who takes them away as prisoners to a foreign land, near or far away.
“Sababii namni cubbuu hin hojjenne tokko iyyuu hin jirreef, yommuu isaan cubbuu sitti hojjetanitti ati isaanitti aartee diina isaan boojiʼee biyya isaa kan fagoo yookaan dhiʼootti isaan geessutti dabarsitee isaan kennita;
47 But if they think again in their land of captivity and repent and plead for mercy from you, saying, ‘We have sinned, we have done wrong, we have acted wickedly,’
yoo isaan biyya boojuudhaan itti geeffamanitti gaabbanii qalbii geeddaratanii, ‘Nu cubbuu hojjenneerra; balleessineerra; waan hamaas hojjenneerra’ jedhanii biyya boojitoota isaanii keessatti si kadhatan,
48 and they come back to you with complete sincerity in their thoughts and attitudes there in their land of captivity; and they pray towards the land you gave their forefathers, the city you chose, and the Temple I have built to honor you,
yoo isaan biyya diinota isaanii kanneen boojiʼanii isaan fudhatan sanaa keessatti garaa fi lubbuu isaanii guutuudhaan gara keetti deebiʼanii gara biyya ati abbootii isaaniitiif kenniteetti, gara magaalaa ati filattee fi gara mana qulqullummaa kan ani Maqaa keetiif ijaare sanaatti fuula deebifatanii si kadhatan,
49 then hear from heaven, the place where you live, respond and support their cause.
ati samii irraa, iddoo jireenya keetiitii kadhannaa fi waammata isaanii dhagaʼiitii dhimma isaanii isaaniif raawwadhu.
50 Forgive your people who have sinned against you, all the rebellious acts they have committed against you. Please make those who have captured them show mercy to them.
Saba kee kan cubbuu sitti hojjeteefis dhiifama godhi; yakka isaan sitti hojjetan hundas isaaniif dhiisiitii akka boojitoonni isaanii garaa isaaniif laafan godhi;
51 For they are your people—they belong to you! You led them out of Egypt, out of the middle of furnace used for smelting iron.
isaan saba keetii fi dhaala kee kan ati Gibxii boolla ibiddaa kan sibiila itti baqsan keessaa baafteedhaatii.
52 May you pay attention to the requests of your servant, and to the requests of your people Israel, and may you respond whenever they call out to you.
“Iji kee waammata garbicha keetiitii fi waammata saba kee Israaʼel haa argu; atis yeroo isaan sitti iyyatan hunda isaan dhagaʼi.
53 For you set them apart from all the nations of the world as a people who belonged to you, just as you declared through your servant Moses when you led our fathers out of Egypt.”
Yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa, ati akkuma gaafa Gibxi keessaa abbootii keenya baafte sana karaa garbicha kee Museetiin dubbattetti, akka isaan dhaala kee taʼaniif jettee saboota addunyaa kanaa hunda keessaa isaan filatteetii.”
54 After Solomon finished praying all these prayers and requests to the Lord, he stood up before the altar of the Lord, where he had been kneeling with his hands held out toward heaven.
Solomoonis kadhannaa fi waammata Waaqayyotti dhiʼeeffachaa ture sana hunda fixannaan fuula iddoo aarsaa Waaqayyoo duraa, iddoo itti harka isaa samiitti ol balʼifatee jilbeenfatee ture sanaa kaʼe.
55 Solomon stood, and in a loud voice he blessed the whole assembly of Israel, saying,
Innis dhaabatee akkana jedhee sagalee guddaadhaan waldaa Israaʼel hunda eebbise:
56 “Praise the Lord, who has given rest to his people Israel in accordance with everything he promised. Not a single word has failed among all the good promises he made through his servant Moses.
“Waaqayyo akkuma abdachiisee ture sanatti saba isaa Israaʼeliif boqonnaa kenne sanaaf galanni haa taʼu. Abdii gaarii inni karaa garbicha isaa Museetiin kenne sana hunda keessaa jechi tokko iyyuu lafa hin buune.
57 May the Lord our God be with us in the same way he was with our forefathers. May he never leave us or abandon us.
Waaqayyo Waaqni keenya akkuma abbootii keenya wajjin ture sana nu wajjin haa jiraatu; inni yoom iyyuu nu hin dhiisin yookaan nu hin gatin.
58 May he help us to come to him, to follow all his ways and to keep the commandments, statutes, and regulations he ordered our forefathers to observe.
Akka nu karaa isaa hunda irra deemnee ajajawwan, seerawwanii fi qajeelchawwan inni abbootii keenyaaf kennee ture sana eegnuuf inni garaa keenya gara ofii isaatti haa deebisu.
59 May these words of mine I have used to make my request in the Lord's presence be before the Lord our God day and night. In that way he may support the cause of his servant and of his people Israel as is needed every day,
Akka Waaqayyo akkuma guyyaa guyyaan barbaachisaa taʼetti garbicha isaatii fi saba isaa Israaʼel hunda gargaaruuf kadhannaan koo kan ani fuula Waaqayyoo duratti dhiʼeessu kun halkanii fi guyyaa Waaqayyo Waaqa keenya bira haa gaʼu;
60 in order that everyone on the earth may know that the Lord is God, and that there is no other!
kunis akka sabni lafa irra jiraatu hundi akka Waaqayyo Waaqa taʼee fi akka isa malee Waaqni biraa hin jirre beekuuf.
61 So make sure you are completely committed to the Lord our God just as you are today, and be careful to follow his statutes and to keep his commandments.”
Kanaafuu isin akkuma harʼaa kana seerawwan isaatiin buluu fi ajajawwan isaa eeguudhaaf guutumaan guutuutti Waaqayyo Waaqa keenyaaf of kennuu qabdu.”
62 Then the king and together with all of Israel offered sacrifices before the Lord.
Ergasii mootichii fi sabni Israaʼel kanneen isa wajjin turan hundi fuula Waaqayyoo duratti aarsaa dhiʼeessan.
63 Solomon presented as friendship offerings to the Lord 22,000 bulls and 120,000 sheep. In this way the king and all the people of Israel dedicated the Lord's Temple.
Solomoonis aarsaa nagaa Waaqayyoof dhiʼeesse; aarsaan dhiʼeeffames loon kuma digdamii lama, hoolotaa fi reʼoota kuma dhibba tokkoo fi digdama ture. Akkasiin mootichii fi sabni Israaʼel hundi mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo eebbisan.
64 On that same day, the king dedicated the center of the courtyard in front of the Lord's Temple. There he presented burnt offerings, grain offerings, and the fat of the friendship offerings, since the bronze altar in the Lord's presence was too small to hold all these offerings.
Mootichis guyyuma sana iddoo walakkaa oobdii fuula mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo dura jiru sanaa Waaqaaf addaan ni baasee aarsaa gubamu, kennaa midhaanii fi aarsaa nagaa achitti dhiʼeesse; kunis sababii iddoon aarsaa kan naasii irraa hojjetamee fuula Waaqayyoo dura jiru sun aarsaa gubamu, kennaa midhaanii fi cooma aarsaa nagaa baachuu hin dandeenyeef.
65 Then Solomon together with all of Israel observed the festival before the Lord our God for seven days, and then another seven days—fourteen days in all. It was a large assembly of people, who came from as far away as Lebo-hamath to the Wadi of Egypt.
Kanaafuu Solomoon yeroo sanatti Israaʼeloota isa wajjin turan hunda wajjin jechuunis waldaa guddicha Malkaa Leeboo Hamaatii jalqabee hamma laga Gibxitti walitti qabame wajjin ayyaana ayyaaneffate. Isaanis ayyaana kana bultii torbaa fi bultii biraa torba walumaa galatti bultii kudha afur fuula Waaqayyo Waaqa keenyaa duratti ayyaaneffatan.
66 One day later Solomon sent the people home. They blessed the king and went home, full of joy and happy for all the good things that the Lord had done for his servant David and for his people Israel.
Innis guyyaa itti aanutti namoota of irraa geggeesse. Isaanis waan gaarii Waaqayyo garbicha ofii isaa Daawitii fi saba ofii isaa Israaʼeliif hojjete hundaaf mooticha eebbisanii ililchaa garaa isaanii keessatti gammadaa mana isaaniitti galan.
