2 Chronicles 7
1 And at Solomon’s finishing to pray, then the fire has come down from the heavens and consumes the burnt-offering and the sacrifices, and the glory of YHWH has filled the house,
Ngwangwa, mgbe Solomọn kpesịrị ekpere a, ọkụ sitere nʼeluigwe daa repịa aja nsure ọkụ ahụ na aja ahụ niile. Ebube Onyenwe anyị jupụtakwara nʼụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ,
2 and the priests have not been able to go into the house of YHWH, because the glory of YHWH has filled the house of YHWH.
Ndị nchụaja enweghị ike ịbanye nʼime ụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị nʼihi ebube Onyenwe anyị nke jupụtara ụlọnsọ ahụ.
3 And all the sons of Israel are looking on the descending of the fire, and the glory of YHWH on the house, and they bow—faces to the earth—on the pavement, and pay respect, and give thanks to YHWH, [saying], “For [He is] good, for His kindness [is] for all time!”
Mgbe ọha ndị Izrel niile hụrụ ọkụ ahụ si nʼelu daa, hụkwa ebube Onyenwe anyị ka o guzo nʼelu ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ, ha dara nʼala kpọọ isiala nye Onyenwe anyị, kelee ya ekele sị: “Nʼihi na Ọ dị mma ịhụnanya ya na-adịgide ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.”
4 And the king and all the people are sacrificing a sacrifice before YHWH,
Mgbe ahụ, eze na ndị a niile chụrụ aja dị iche iche nʼihu Onyenwe anyị.
5 and King Solomon sacrifices the sacrifice: twenty-two thousand of the herd and one hundred and twenty thousand of the flock; and the king and all the people dedicate the house of God.
Eze Solomọn chụrụ aja ehi nke dị puku iri abụọ na abụọ, na ewu na atụrụ dị narị puku na iri abụọ. Ya mere, Eze na ndị ahụ niile si otu a doo ụlọnsọ Chineke nsọ.
6 And the priests are standing over their charges, and the Levites with instruments of the song of YHWH that David the king made, to give thanks to YHWH, for His kindness [is] for all time, in David’s praising by their hand—and the priests are blowing trumpets opposite them, and all of Israel is standing.
Ndị nchụaja guzo nʼihu ọrụ ha, ha na ndị Livayị. Ha jiri ngwa egwu Onyenwe anyị nke eze Devid mere maka ị na-eto Onyenwe anyị, bụkwa nke o ji mgbe o nyere ekele, na-asị, “Ịhụnanya ya na-adị ruo ebighị ebi.” Na ncherita ihu ndị Livayị, ndị nchụaja fụrụ opi ike ha mgbe ndị Izrel guzooro ọtọ.
7 And Solomon sanctifies the middle of the court that [is] before the house of YHWH, for he has made the burnt-offerings and the fat of the peace-offerings there, for the altar of bronze that Solomon made has not been able to contain the burnt-offering, and the present, and the fat.
Mgbe ahụ, Solomọn 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. O mere nke a nʼihi na ebe ịchụ aja bronz nke ọ rụrụ enweghị ike ịbata aja nsure ọkụ niile, aja mkpụrụ ọka niile nakwa aja abụba ndị ahụ.
8 And Solomon makes the celebration at that time [for] seven days, and all Israel with him—a very great assembly—from the entering in of Hamath to the Brook of Egypt.
Ya mere, Solomọn mere mmemme a nʼoge ahụ, ụbọchị asaa, ya na ndị Izrel niile. Ọ bụ nzukọ dị ukwuu. Ndị mmadụ bịara sitere na Lebo Hamat ruo na mmiri iyi Ijipt.
9 And they make a restraint on the eighth day, because they have made the dedication of the altar [for] seven days, and the celebration [for] seven days.
Nʼụbọchị nke asatọ, ha nwere ọgbakọ, nʼihi na ha mere mmemme nke ido ebe ịchụ aja nsọ nʼime ụbọchị asaa, meekwa mmemme ahụ abalị asaa ọzọ.
10 And on the twenty-third day of the seventh month he has sent the people to their tents, rejoicing, and glad in heart, for the goodness that YHWH has done to David, and to Solomon, and to His people Israel.
Ya mere, nʼụbọchị nke iri abụọ na atọ nʼọnwa nke asaa, o zilagara ndị ahụ niile nʼụlọ ha, nʼịṅụrị ọṅụ na obi ụtọ nʼihi ihe ọma niile nke Onyenwe anyị Devid na Solomọn na ndị ya Izrel.
11 And Solomon finishes the house of YHWH, and the house of the king; and all that has come on the heart of Solomon to do in the house of YHWH, and in his own house, he has caused to prosper.
Mgbe Solomọn rụchara ụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị, na ụlọeze, mezukwaa ihe niile bụ nke o bu nʼobi ime nʼụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị nakwa nʼụlọeze nke ya onwe ya.
12 And YHWH appears to Solomon by night and says to him, “I have heard your prayer, and have fixed on this place for Myself for a house of sacrifice.
Onyenwe anyị mere ka ọ hụ ya nʼọhụ abalị sị ya, “Anụla m ekpere gị, ahọrọkwala m ebe a nye onwe m, ka ọ bụrụ ebe ịchụ aja.
13 If I restrain the heavens and there is no rain, and if I lay charge on the locust to consume the land, and if I send pestilence among My people—
“Mgbe ọbụla m mere ka mmiri ghara izo, maọbụ zidata igurube ka ha bịa bibie ihe ubi unu, maọbụ zidata ọrịa nʼetiti unu,
14 and My people on whom My Name is called are humbled, and pray, and seek My face, and turn back from their evil ways, then I hear from the heavens, and forgive their sin, and heal their land.
ọ bụrụ na ndị m ndị a kpọkwasịrị aha m, ewedata onwe ha nʼala, kpee ekpere, chọsie ihu m ike, sitekwa na mmehie ha chigharịa, aga m esite nʼeluigwe za ekpere ha, gbaghara ha mmehie ha, mee ka ala ha dịrị ndu.
15 Now My eyes are open and My ears attentive to the prayer of this place;
Anya m ga-eghere oghe mgbe niile; otu a kwa, ntị m ga-egherekwa oghe ịhụ na ịnụ ekpere niile a na-ekpe nʼụlọnsọ a.
16 and now, I have chosen and sanctified this house for My Name being there for all time; indeed, My eyes and My heart have been there [for] all the days.
Edoola m ụlọnsọ a nsọ nye onwe m, ka Aha m dị nʼebe ahụ ruo ebighị ebi; anya m abụọ na obi m ga-adịkwa nʼebe ahụ ụbọchị niile.
17 And you, if you walk before Me as your father David walked, even to do according to all that I have commanded you, and keep My statutes and My judgments—
“Ma gị onwe gị, bie ndụ nʼikwesị ntụkwasị obi nʼihu m dịka Devid nna gị mere, na-eme ihe niile m nyere nʼiwu, debe ụkpụrụ m na iwu m niile.
18 then I have established the throne of your kingdom, as I covenanted with your father David, saying, A man of yours is never cut off [from] ruling in Israel;
Aga m eme ka ocheeze ọchịchị gị guzosie ike, dịka mụ na nna gị Devid gbara na ndụ, mgbe m sịrị, ‘Ị ghaghị inwe onye nnọchite anya nʼocheeze nke ga-achị Izrel.’
19 and if you turn back—you—and have forsaken My statutes and My commands that I have placed before you, and have gone and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to them—then I have plucked them from off My ground that I have given to them,
“Ma ọ bụrụ unu alaghachi azụ, gbakụta ụkpụrụ na iwu niile, bụ nke m nyere unu azụ, pụọ gbasoro chi ndị ọzọ ife ha ofufe, na ịkpọ isiala nye ha,
20 and this house that I have sanctified for My Name, I cast from before My face, and make it for a proverb and for a byword among all the peoples.
mgbe ahụ, aga m esite nʼala m, bụ nke m nyere ha, hopu Izrel. Aga m ajụkwa ụlọnsọ a m doro nsọ nye Aha m, meekwa ka ọ ghọọ ihe e ji atụ ilu na ihe ịkpa ọchị nʼetiti ndị niile.
21 And this house that has been high is an astonishment to everyone passing by it, and he has said, Why has YHWH done thus to this land and to this house?
Ọ bụ ezie na ụlọnsọ ukwu a kachasị elu ugbu a, ma ọnọdụ ya ga-eju ndị niile ga-esi nʼakụkụ ya gafee anya, ha ga-asị, ‘Gịnị mere Onyenwe anyị ji mee ala a na ụlọnsọ a, ihe dị otu a?’
22 And they have said, Because that they have forsaken YHWH, God of their fathers, who brought them out from the land of Egypt, and lay hold on other gods, and bow themselves to them, and serve them, therefore He has brought all this calamity on them.”
Ndị mmadụ ga-aza, ‘Ọ bụ nʼihi na ha gbakụtara Onyenwe anyị, Chineke nna nna ha, onye kpọpụtara ha site nʼala Ijipt azụ, makụọ chi ndị ọzọ, na-akpọ isiala na-efekwa ha ofufe. Ọ bụ nʼihi nke a ka O ji mee ka ihe ọjọọ niile ndị a bịakwasị ha.’”
