1 Kings 8

1 Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children of Israel, unto king Solomon in Jerusalem, that they might bring up the ark of the covenant of YHWH out of the city of David, which is Zion.

Ningĩ Mũthamaki Solomoni agĩĩta athuuri a Isiraeli, na atongoria othe a mĩhĩrĩga, na anene a nyũmba cia andũ a Isiraeli moke kũrĩ we Jerusalemu, nĩguo maambatie ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa Jehova kuuma Zayuni, Itũũra rĩrĩa inene rĩa Daudi.

2 And all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto king Solomon at the feast in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month.

Nao andũ othe a Isiraeli magĩũka hamwe kũrĩ Mũthamaki Solomoni hĩndĩ ya gĩathĩ kĩa mweri wa Ethanimu, nĩguo mweri wa mũgwanja.

3 And all the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark.

Rĩrĩa athuuri othe a Isiraeli maakinyire-rĩ, athĩnjĩri-Ngai makĩoya ithandũkũ rĩu,

4 And they brought up the ark of YHWH, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle, even those did the priests and the Levites bring up.

nao makĩambatia ithandũkũ rĩa Jehova hamwe na Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo, na indo ciothe iria nyamũre ciarĩ thĩinĩ wayo. Nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai na Alawii magĩciambatia,

5 And king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel, that were assembled unto him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could not be told nor numbered for multitude.

nake Mũthamaki Solomoni na kĩũngano gĩothe gĩa Isiraeli kĩrĩa gĩacemanĩtie harĩ we kĩrĩ mbere ya ithandũkũ rĩu, gĩkĩruta igongona rĩa ngʼondu nyingĩ na ngʼombe nyingĩ mũno, ũũ atĩ itingĩandĩkirwo mũigana wacio kana itarĩke.

6 And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of YHWH unto his place, into the oracle of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubims.

Nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai magĩcooka makĩrehe ithandũkũ rĩu rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa Jehova handũ harĩo thĩinĩ wa hekarũ, Handũ-harĩa-Hatheru-Mũno, makĩrĩiga rungu rwa mathagu ma makerubi.

7 For the cherubims spread forth their two wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubims covered the ark and the staves thereof above.

Makerubi macio maatambũrũkĩtie mathagu mamo igũrũ rĩa harĩa haigĩtwo ithandũkũ rĩu, na makahumbĩra ithandũkũ, o na mĩtĩ yarĩo ya kũrĩkuua.

8 And they drew out the staves, that the ends of the staves were seen out in the holy place before the oracle, and they were not seen without: and there they are unto this day.

Mĩtĩ ĩyo yarĩ mĩraihu mũno, ũndũ mĩthia yayo yoonagwo nĩ mũndũ arĩ mbere ya Handũ-harĩa-Hatheru, no ndĩonekaga nĩ mũndũ arĩ nja ya Handũ-harĩa-Hatheru; na ĩrĩ o ho nginya ũmũthĩ.

9 There was nothing in the ark save the two tables of stone, which Moses put there at Horeb, when YHWH made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.

Thĩinĩ wa ithandũkũ rĩu gũtiarĩ na kĩndũ kĩngĩ tiga o ihengere iria igĩrĩ cia mahiga iria Musa aigĩte ho rĩrĩa aarĩ Horebu, kũrĩa Jehova aarĩkanĩire kĩrĩkanĩro na andũ a Isiraeli maarĩkia kuuma bũrũri wa Misiri.

10 And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of YHWH,

Rĩrĩa athĩnjĩri-Ngai meeherire makiuma Handũ-harĩa-Hatheru, itu rĩkĩiyũra hekarũ ya Jehova.

11 So that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of YHWH had filled the house of YHWH.

Nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai matingĩahotire kũruta wĩra wao nĩ ũndũ wa itu rĩu, nĩgũkorwo riiri wa Jehova nĩwaiyũrĩte hekarũ yake.

12 Then spake Solomon, YHWH said that he would dwell in thick darkness.

Ningĩ Solomoni akiuga atĩrĩ, “Jehova oigĩte atĩ nĩarĩikaraga thĩinĩ wa itu rĩrĩa itumanu;

13 I have surely built thee an house to dwell in, a settled place for thee to abide in for ever.

no rĩrĩ, ti-itherũ nĩngwakĩire hekarũ kĩĩrorerwa, handũ haku ha gũtũũra nginya tene.”

14 And the king turned his face about, and blessed all the congregation of Israel: (and all the congregation of Israel stood; )

O hĩndĩ ĩyo kĩũngano gĩothe gĩa Isiraeli kĩrũgamĩte o hau, mũthamaki agĩkĩhũgũkĩra, agĩkĩrathima.

15 And he said, Blessed be YHWH Elohim of Israel, which spake with his mouth unto David my father, and hath with his hand fulfilled it, saying,

Ningĩ akiuga atĩrĩ: “Jehova arogoocwo, o we Ngai wa Isiraeli, ũrĩa ũhingĩtie na guoko gwake mwene ũrĩa eerĩire baba, Daudi, na kanua gake mwene. Nĩgũkorwo oigire atĩrĩ,

16 Since the day that I brought forth my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build an house, that my name might be therein; but I chose David to be over my people Israel.

‘Kuuma mũthenya ũrĩa ndaarutire andũ akwa a Isiraeli kuuma Misiri, ndirĩ ndathuura itũũra inene thĩinĩ wa mũhĩrĩga o na ũmwe wa Isiraeli, atĩ nĩguo njakĩrwo hekarũ ĩĩtanĩtio na Rĩĩtwa rĩakwa kuo, no nĩndathuurire Daudi athamakĩre andũ akwa Isiraeli.’

17 And it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of YHWH Elohim of Israel.

“Baba Daudi nĩatuĩte na ngoro yake gwaka hekarũ ĩĩtanĩtio na Rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova, o we Ngai wa Isiraeli.

18 And YHWH said unto David my father, Whereas it was in thine heart to build an house unto my name, thou didst well that it was in thine heart.

No Jehova eerire baba, Daudi, atĩrĩ, ‘Tondũ nĩwatuĩte na ngoro yaku kũnjakĩra hekarũ ĩĩtanĩtio na Rĩĩtwa rĩakwa-rĩ, nĩ wekire wega nĩ gwĩciiria ũguo ngoro-inĩ yaku.

19 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.

No rĩrĩ, wee tiwe ũgwaka hekarũ ĩyo, no nĩ mũrũguo, ũrĩa uumĩte mũthiimo-inĩ waku na thakame-inĩ yaku, ũcio nĩwe ũgaaka hekarũ ĩĩtanĩtio na Rĩĩtwa rĩakwa.’

20 And YHWH hath performed his word that he spake, and I am risen up in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as YHWH promised, and have built an house for the name of YHWH Elohim of Israel.

“Jehova nĩatũũrĩtie kĩrĩkanĩro kĩu, na rĩu nĩnjookete ithenya rĩa baba Daudi, na ngaikarĩra gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene gĩa Isiraeli, o ta ũrĩa Jehova eeranĩire, na nĩnjakĩte hekarũ ĩrĩa ĩtanĩtio na Rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova Ngai wa Isiraeli.

21 And I have set there a place for the ark, wherein is the covenant of YHWH, which he made with our fathers, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.

Hau nĩho thondekete handũ ha kũiga ithandũkũ rĩrĩa rĩ na kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa Jehova aarĩkanĩire na maithe maitũ, rĩrĩa aamarutire bũrũri wa Misiri.”

22 And Solomon stood before the altar of YHWH in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven:

Hĩndĩ ĩyo Solomoni akĩrũgama mbere ya kĩgongona kĩa Jehova, o hau mbere ya kĩũngano gĩothe kĩa Isiraeli, agĩtambũrũkia moko make na igũrũ,

23 And he said, YHWH Elohim of Israel, there is no Elohim like thee, in heaven above, or on earth beneath, who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants that walk before thee with all their heart:

akiuga atĩrĩ: “Wee Jehova, Ngai wa Isiraeli, gũtirĩ Ngai ũngĩ ũhaana tawe kũu igũrũ kana gũkũ thĩ, o wee ũhingagia kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa wendo harĩ ndungata ciaku iria irũmagĩrĩra njĩra yaku na ngoro ciacio ciothe.

24 Who hast kept with thy servant David my father that thou promisedst him: thou spakest also with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it with thine hand, as it is this day.

Wee nĩũhingĩirie baba, Daudi ndungata yaku kĩrĩkanĩro gĩaku; ũndũ ũrĩa weranĩire na kanua gaku nĩũhingĩtie na guoko gwaku, o ta ũrĩa kũhaana ũmũthĩ.

25 Therefore now, YHWH Elohim of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that thou promisedst him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel; so that thy children take heed to their way, that they walk before me as thou hast walked before me.

“Na rĩrĩ, Jehova, Ngai wa Isiraeli, hingĩria baba, Daudi ndungata yaku ciĩranĩro iria wamwĩrĩire rĩrĩa woigire atĩrĩ, ‘Ndũkaaga mũndũ wa gũikarĩra gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene kĩa Isiraeli arĩ mbere yakwa, angĩkorwo ariũ aku nĩmarĩthiiaga na mĩthiĩre yagĩrĩire mbere yakwa, o ta ũrĩa wee ũtũire ũthiiaga mbere yakwa.’

26 And now, O Elohim of Israel, let thy word, I pray thee, be verified, which thou spakest unto thy servant David my father.

Na rĩrĩ, Wee Ngai wa Isiraeli, reke kiugo gĩaku kĩrĩa werĩire baba, Daudi ndungata yaku, kĩhinge.

27 But will Elohim indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have builded?

“No kũhoteke Ngai atũũre gũkũ thĩ? Igũrũ, o na kũrĩa igũrũ mũno-rĩ, wee ndũngĩiganĩra kuo. Hekarũ ĩno njakĩte-rĩ, githĩ ndĩkĩrĩ nini makĩria!

28 Yet have thou respect unto the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O YHWH my Elohim, to hearken unto the cry and to the prayer, which thy servant prayeth before thee to day:

No o na kũrĩ ũguo-rĩ, thikĩrĩria ihooya rĩa ndungata yaku, ĩgĩthaithana ĩiguĩrwo tha, Wee Jehova Ngai wakwa. Igua gũkaya na ihooya rĩrĩa ndungata yaku ĩrakũhooya ĩrĩ mbere yaku ũmũthĩ.

29 That thine eyes may be open toward this house night and day, even toward the place of which thou hast said, My name shall be there: that thou mayest hearken unto the prayer which thy servant shall make toward this place.

Maitho maku maroikara marorete hekarũ ĩno ũtukũ na mũthenya, o handũ haha wee woigire atĩrĩ, ‘Rĩĩtwa rĩakwa rĩrĩkoragwo ho,’ nĩgeetha ũiguage ihooya rĩrĩa ndungata yaku ĩrĩhooyaga ĩrorete handũ haha.

30 And hearken thou to the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place: and hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place: and when thou hearest, forgive.

Igua gũthaithana kwa ndungata yaku na kwa andũ aku a Isiraeli rĩrĩa mekũhooya marorete handũ haha. Ũigue ũrĩ kũu igũrũ, o kũu gĩikaro gĩaku, na watũigua ũgatũrekera.

31 If any man trespass against his neighbour, and an oath be laid upon him to cause him to swear, and the oath come before thine altar in this house:

“Rĩrĩa mũndũ angĩhĩtĩria mũndũ wa itũũra rĩake na gũtuĩke no nginya ehĩte, nake oke ehĩtĩre hau mbere ya kĩgongona gĩaku hekarũ-inĩ ĩno-rĩ,

32 Then hear thou in heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, condemning the wicked, to bring his way upon his head; and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.

hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩ ũkaigua ũrĩ kũu igũrũ na ũtue itua. Ũtuithanie ndungata ciaku ciira, ũrĩa mũhĩtia atuĩrwo ciira na acookererwo nĩ mahĩtia make marĩa ekĩte. Nake ũrĩa ũtehĩtie ũmũtue ndehĩtie, na nĩ ũndũ ũcio wonanie atĩ ti mwĩhia.

33 When thy people Israel be smitten down before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee, and shall turn again to thee, and confess thy name, and pray, and make supplication unto thee in this house:

“Rĩrĩa andũ aku a Isiraeli mahootwo nĩ thũ nĩ ũndũ nĩmakũhĩtĩirie, nao magũcookerere na moimbũre rĩĩtwa rĩaku, na mahooe magĩgũthaithaga marĩ hekarũ-inĩ ĩno-rĩ,

34 Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again unto the land which thou gavest unto their fathers.

hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩũkamaigua ũrĩ kũu igũrũ, na ũrekere andũ aku a Isiraeli mehia mao na ũmacookie bũrũri ũrĩa waheire maithe mao.

35 When heaven is 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, when thou afflictest them:

“Rĩrĩa igũrũ rĩkaahingwo na mbura yage kuura tondũ wa ũrĩa andũ aku makũhĩtĩirie-rĩ, mangĩkaahooya marorete handũ haha na moimbũre rĩĩtwa rĩaku, na magarũrũke matigane na mehia mao, tondũ nĩũmanyamarĩtie-rĩ,

36 Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, that thou teach them the good way wherein they should walk, and give rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy people for an inheritance.

hĩndĩ ĩyo ũkaamaigua ũrĩ o kũu igũrũ, na ũrekere ndungata ciaku, andũ aku a Isiraeli, mehia mao. Marute mũtũũrĩre ũrĩa mwagĩrĩru, na ũmoirĩrie mbura bũrũri-inĩ ũcio waheire andũ aku ũtuĩke igai rĩao.

37 If there be in the land famine, if there be pestilence, blasting, mildew, locust, or if there be caterpiller; if their enemy besiege them in the land of their cities; whatsoever plague, whatsoever sickness there be;

“Kũngĩkaagĩa ngʼaragu kana mũthiro bũrũri-inĩ, kana mĩgũnda ĩhĩe nĩ mbaa kana mbuu, kana gũũke ngigĩ kana ngũnga, kana thũ imarigiicĩrie itũũra-inĩ rĩmwe rĩao, na mwanangĩko o na ũrĩkũ kana mũrimũ ũngĩgooka-rĩ,

38 What prayer and supplication soever be made by any man, or by all thy people Israel, which shall know every man the plague of his own heart, and spread forth his hands toward this house:

na rĩrĩa mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ wa andũ aku a Isiraeli angĩkaahooya kana athaithane, o mũndũ aamenya mĩnyamaro ĩrĩa arĩ nayo ngoro-inĩ yake, na atambũrũkie moko make amerekeirie hekarũ-inĩ ĩno-rĩ,

39 Then hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and do, and give to every man according to his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou, even thou only, knowest the hearts of all the children of men; )

hĩndĩ ĩyo ũkaigua ũrĩ kũu igũrũ gĩikaro-inĩ gĩaku, ũmarekere, na ũtuĩre o mũndũ itua kũringana na ũrĩa wothe ekĩte, tondũ we nĩũĩ ngoro yake, (nĩgũkorwo nowe wiki ũũĩ ngoro cia andũ othe),

40 That they may fear thee all the days that they live in the land which thou gavest unto our fathers.

nĩgeetha matũũre magwĩtigĩrĩte matukũ mothe marĩa megũtũũra bũrũri ũrĩa waheire maithe maitũ.

41 Moreover concerning a stranger, that is not of thy people Israel, but cometh out of a far country for thy name's sake;

“Ha ũhoro wa mũndũ wa kũngĩ ũrĩa ũtarĩ wa andũ aku a Isiraeli, no nĩoimĩte bũrũri wa kũraya nĩ ũndũ wa Rĩĩtwa rĩaku,

42 (For they shall hear of thy great name, and of thy strong hand, and of thy stretched out arm; ) when he shall come and pray toward this house;

tondũ andũ nĩmakaigua ngumo ya Rĩĩtwa rĩaku inene, na ũhoro wa ciĩko cia guoko gwaku kũrĩ hinya gũtambũrũkĩtio, rĩrĩa agooka ahooe erekeire hekarũ ĩno,

43 Hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for: that all people of the earth may know thy name, to fear thee, as do thy people Israel; and that they may know that this house, which I have builded, is called by thy name.

hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩũkamaigua ũrĩ o kũu igũrũ, gĩikaro-inĩ gĩaku, na mũndũ ũcio wa kũngĩ ũkamũhingĩria ũrĩa wothe agakũhooya, nĩgeetha andũ othe a thĩ mamenye rĩĩtwa rĩaku na magwĩtigĩre o ta ũrĩa andũ aku a Isiraeli magwĩtigĩrĩte, na mamenye atĩ nyũmba ĩno njakĩte ĩĩtanĩtio na Rĩĩtwa rĩaku.

44 If thy people go out to battle against their enemy, whithersoever thou shalt send them, and shall pray unto YHWH toward the city which thou hast chosen, and toward the house that I have built for thy name:

“Rĩrĩa andũ aku maathiĩ mbaara-inĩ kũrũa na thũ ciao, o kũrĩa ũngĩmatũma, nao mahooe Jehova merekeire itũũra rĩĩrĩ inene ũthuurĩte na hekarũ ĩno njakĩte ĩĩtanĩtio na Rĩĩtwa rĩaku,

45 Then hear thou in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.

hĩndĩ ĩyo ũkaigua mahooya na gũthaithana kwao ũrĩ kũu igũrũ na ũmatirĩrĩre ũhoro-inĩ ũcio wao.

46 If they sin against thee, (for there is no man that sinneth not, ) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captives unto the land of the enemy, far or near;

“Rĩrĩa makwĩhĩria, nĩgũkorwo gũtirĩ mũndũ ũtehagia, nawe ũmarakarĩre ũmaneane kũrĩ thũ, nacio imatahe imatware bũrũri wacio, ũrĩ kũraya kana ũrĩ gũkuhĩ;

47 Yet if they shall bethink themselves in the land whither they were carried captives, and repent, and make supplication unto thee in the land of them that carried them captives, saying, We have sinned, and have done perversely, we have committed wickedness;

nao mangĩĩcookera ngoro-inĩ ciao marĩ o kũu bũrũri ũrĩa maatahĩirwo, na merire, na magũthaithe marĩ o kũu bũrũri wa acio mamatooretie, na moige atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩtwĩhĩtie, na nĩtwĩkĩte mahĩtia, na tũgeka maũndũ ma waganu’;

48 And so return unto thee with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their enemies, which led them away captive, and pray unto thee toward their land, which thou gavest unto their fathers, the city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name:

na mangĩgagũcookerera na ngoro ciao ciothe, na mĩoyo yao, marĩ bũrũri wa thũ ciao iria ciamatahire, nao mahooe merekeire bũrũri ũrĩa waheire maithe mao, na merekeire itũũra rĩrĩa inene rĩrĩa ũthuurĩte na hekarũ ĩno njakĩte ĩĩtanĩtio na Rĩĩtwa rĩaku-rĩ;

49 Then hear thou their prayer and their supplication in heaven thy dwelling place, and maintain their cause,

50 And forgive thy people that have sinned against thee and all their transgressions wherein they have transgressed against thee, and give them compassion before them who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them:

Na ũkarekera andũ aku, o acio makwĩhĩtie; ũmarekere mahĩtia marĩa mothe magwĩkĩte, na ũtũme acio mamatooretie mamaiguĩre tha;

51 For they be thy people, and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron:

tondũ nĩ andũ aku na igai rĩaku, o andũ arĩa warutire bũrũri wa Misiri, ũkĩmaruta kuuma mwaki-inĩ ũcio mũhiũ wa gũtwekia kĩgera.

52 That thine eyes may be open unto the supplication of thy servant, and unto the supplication of thy people Israel, to hearken unto them in all that they call for unto thee.

“Ũrohingũra maitho maku na ũigue mathaithana ma ndungata yaku na ma andũ aku a Isiraeli, ningĩ wĩtĩkĩre kũmathikagĩrĩria rĩrĩa rĩothe maagũkaĩra.

53 For thou didst separate them from among all the people of the earth, to be thine inheritance, as thou spakest by the hand of Moses thy servant, when thou broughtest our fathers out of Egypt, O Sovereign YHWH.

Nĩgũkorwo nĩwe wamathuurire kuuma thĩinĩ wa ndũrĩrĩ ciothe cia thĩ matuĩke igai rĩaku kĩũmbe, o ta ũrĩa woimbũrire na kanua ka ndungata yaku Musa, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa wee, Mwathani Jehova, warutire maithe maitũ kuuma bũrũri wa Misiri.”

54 And it was so, that when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication unto YHWH, he arose from before the altar of YHWH, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread up to heaven.

Rĩrĩa Solomoni aarĩkirie mahooya macio mothe na gũthaitha Jehova-rĩ, agĩũkĩra, akĩehera mbere ya kĩgongona kĩa Jehova, harĩa aaturĩtie ndu aambararĩtie moko make na igũrũ.

55 And he stood, and blessed all the congregation of Israel with a loud voice, saying,

Akĩrũgama na akĩrathima kĩũngano gĩothe gĩa Isiraeli na mũgambo mũnene, akiuga atĩrĩ:

56 Blessed be YHWH, that hath given rest unto his people Israel, according to all that he promised: there hath not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by the hand of Moses his servant.

“Jehova arogoocwo, ũrĩa ũheete andũ ake a Isiraeli ũhurũko o ta ũrĩa eranĩire. Gũtirĩ kiugo o na kĩmwe gĩa ciĩranĩro ciothe iria njega iria eeranĩire na kanua ka ndungata yake Musa gĩtahingĩte.

57 YHWH our Elohim be with us, as he was with our fathers: let him not leave us, nor forsake us:

Jehova Ngai witũ aroikara hamwe na ithuĩ o ta ũrĩa aarĩ hamwe na maithe maitũ; aroaga gũtũtiganĩria o na kana gũtũtirika.

58 That he may incline our hearts unto him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and his statutes, and his judgments, which he commanded our fathers.

Arotũma ngoro ciitũ imũcookerere, tũthiiage na njĩra ciake ciothe, na tũmenyagĩrĩre maathani make, na kĩrĩra kĩa watho wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo, na mawatho make marĩa aaheire maithe maitũ.

59 And let these my words, wherewith I have made supplication before YHWH, be nigh unto YHWH our Elohim day and night, that he maintain the cause of his servant, and the cause of his people Israel at all times, as the matter shall require:

Na rĩrĩ, ciugo ici ciakwa, iria hooete ndĩ mbere ya Jehova, irokuhĩrĩria Jehova Ngai witũ mũthenya na ũtukũ, nĩguo atiiragĩrĩre maũndũ ma ndungata yake na andũ ake a Isiraeli, kũringana na mabataro ma o mũthenya,

60 That all the people of the earth may know that YHWH is Elohim, and that there is none else.

nĩgeetha andũ othe a thĩ mamenye atĩ Jehova nĩwe Ngai, na gũtirĩ ũngĩ take.

61 Let your heart therefore be perfect with YHWH our Elohim, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day.

No ngoro cianyu no nginya ciĩheane biũ kũrĩ Jehova Ngai witũ, mũtũũrage kũringana na kĩrĩra kĩa watho wake wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo, na gwathĩkĩra maathani make, ta ũrĩa kũrĩ rĩu.”

62 And the king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifice before YHWH.

Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũthamaki na andũ othe a Isiraeli makĩruta magongona hau mbere ya Jehova.

63 And Solomon offered a sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered unto YHWH, two and twenty thousand oxen, and an hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the house of YHWH.

Solomoni nĩarutĩire Jehova igongona rĩa ũiguano ta ũũ: ngʼombe ngiri mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na igĩrĩ, na ngʼondu na mbũri ngiri igana rĩa mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki na andũ a Isiraeli othe makĩamũra hekarũ ya Jehova.

64 The same day did the king hallow the middle of the court that was before the house of YHWH: for there he offered burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings: because the brasen altar that was before YHWH was too little to receive the burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings.

Mũthenya o ro ũcio mũthamaki nĩamũrire gĩcigo gĩa gatagatĩ kĩa nja ĩrĩa ĩrĩ mbere ya hekarũ ya Jehova, na akĩrutĩra igongona rĩa njino ho, na rĩa mũtu na rĩa maguta ma igongona rĩa ũiguano, tondũ kĩgongona gĩa gĩcango kĩrĩa kĩarĩ mbere ya Jehova gĩtingĩaiganĩire magongona ma njino, na magongona ma mũtu na maguta ma magongona ma ũiguano.

65 And at that time Solomon held a feast, and all Israel with him, a great congregation, from the entering in of Hamath unto the river of Egypt, before YHWH our Elohim, seven days and seven days, even fourteen days.
