2 Chronicles 7
1 Now, when Solomon had made an end of praying, Fire, came down out of the heavens, and consumed the ascending-offering and the sacrifices, —and, the glory of Yahweh, filled the house;
Esi Solomo wu gbedodoɖa nu la, dzo ge tso dziƒo, fia numevɔsa kple vɔsa la eye Yehowa ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe yɔ gbedoxɔ la me.
2 so that the priests could not enter into the house of Yahweh, —because the glory of Yahweh filled the house of Yahweh;
Nunɔlaawo mete ŋu ge ɖe Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la me o elabena Yehowa ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe yɔe fũu.
3 and, all the sons of Israel, seeing the descending of the fire and the glory of Yahweh upon the house, then knelt they down with their faces toward the ground, upon the pavement, and bowed themselves in prostration, and gave thanks unto Yahweh, For he is good, For, age-abiding, is his lovingkindness.
Israel blibo la kpɔ nu sia teƒe eye wotsyɔ mo anyi, kafu Yehowa eye woda akpe nɛ hedo ɣli bena, “Eƒe dɔme nyo eye eƒe amenuveve li tegbee!”
4 And, the king and all the people, were offering sacrifice before Yahweh.
Fia la kple ameawo katã sa vɔwo le Yehowa ŋkume
5 And King Solomon offered a sacrifice—of oxen, twenty-two thousand, and of sheep, a hundred and twenty thousand, —and so the king and all the people, dedicated the house of God;
eye Fia Solomo sa vɔ kple nyi akpe blaeve-vɔ-eve kple ale kple gbɔ̃ akpe alafa ɖeka blaeve. Ale fia la kple ameawo katã kɔ Mawu ƒe gbedoxɔ la ŋu.
6 while, the priests, over their charges, were standing, the Levites also, with the instruments for the songs of Yahweh, which David the king had made, for giving thanks unto Yahweh, For, age-abiding, is his lovingkindness, when David offered praise by their means, —and, the priests, kept on blowing trumpets over against them, while, all Israel, were standing.
Nunɔlawo nɔ tsitre ɖe woƒe dɔwɔƒewo le esime Levitɔwo nɔ woƒe akpedahawo dzim be, “Eƒe amenuveve li tegbee” kpe ɖe haƒonu siwo Fia David ŋutɔ wɔ eye wòna wowɔa wo ŋu dɔ hena Yehowa kafukafu ŋuti. Esi nunɔlaawo ku kpẽawo la, Israel ƒe ameha blibo la tsi tsitre.
7 And Solomon hallowed the middle of the court that was before the house of Yahweh, for he offered there the ascending-sacrifices, and the fat portions of the peace-offerings, —because, the altar of bronze which Solomon had made, was not able to receive the ascending-sacrifice and the meal-offering and the fat portions.
Solomo kɔ xɔxɔnu emetɔ si le Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ ŋgɔ la ŋuti eye le afi ma wòsa numevɔ, nuɖuvɔ kple akpedavɔ ƒe amiwo le elabena akɔblivɔsamlekpui si wòwɔ la le sue akpa na numevɔ, nuɖuvɔ kple amiawo.
8 And Solomon made a festival—at that time—for seven days, and all Israel with him, an exceeding great convocation, —from the entering in of Hamath, unto the ravine of Egypt.
Azɔ la, Solomo ɖu ŋkekenyui le ɣe ma ɣi me eye Israel katã ɖui kplii. Ameha gã aɖe ŋutɔe wònye, ameawo tso Lebo Hamat va se ɖe Egipte tɔʋu la gbɔ ke.
9 And they made, on the eighth day, a closing feast, —because, the dedication of the altar, they had kept seven days and a festival seven days.
Wode ŋkekenyui sia ƒe akpedasɔleme mamlɛtɔ le ŋkeke enyia gbe.
10 And, on the twenty-third of the seventh month, he sent the people away to their own homes, —rejoicing and glad in heart, over the goodness which Yahweh had performed unto David and unto Solomon, and unto Israel his people.
Fia Solomo ɖo ameawo ɖe aƒe le ɣleti adrelia ƒe ŋkeke blaeve-vɔ-etɔ̃lia gbe. Ameawo kpɔ dzidzɔ ŋutɔ le ale si Yehowa ve David kple Solomo kpakple eƒe dukɔ, Israel nu la ta.
11 Thus Solomon finished the house of Yahweh, and the house of the king, —and, all that had come in upon the heart of Solomon, to do in the house of Yahweh and in his own house, he prosperously executed.
Esi Solomo wu Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ kple fiasã la tutu kple nu siwo katã wòɖo ɖe ta me be yeawɔ ɖe Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la me kple eya ŋutɔ ƒe fiasã me nu la,
12 Then appeared Yahweh unto Solomon by night, —and said to him, I have heard thy prayer, and have made choice of this place for myself, as a house of sacrifice: —
Yehowa ɖe eɖokui fiae le zã me eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “Mese wò gbedodoɖa eye metia teƒe sia na ɖokuinye be wòanye gbedoxɔ na vɔsawo.
13 If I shut up the heavens that there be no rain, or if I lay command on the locust, to devour the land, —or if I send pestilence, amongst my people:
“Ne metu dziƒowo nu ale be tsi megale dzadzam o alo meɖe gbe na ʋetsuviwo be woaɖu nu siwo le anyigba dzi alo medɔ dɔvɔ̃ ɖe dukɔ la dome la,
14 if my people upon whom my Name is called shall humble themselves, and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then will, I myself, hear out of the heavens, and forgive their sin, and heal their land.
ekema ne nye dukɔ, ame siwo ŋuti woyɔ nye ŋkɔ ɖo abɔbɔ wo ɖokui, ado gbe ɖa, adi nye ŋkume eye woaɖe asi le woƒe mɔ vɔ̃wo ŋu la, mase woƒe gbedodoɖa le dziƒo, matsɔ woƒe nu vɔ̃wo ake wo eye mayɔ dɔ woƒe anyigba.
15 Now, mine eyes, shall be open, and, mine ears, attent, —to the prayer of this place.
Azɔ la, nye ŋkuwo anɔ ʋuʋu eye nye towo anɔ te ɖe gbe ɖe sia ɖe si woado ɖa le teƒe sia ŋuti.
16 Now, therefore, have I chosen and hallowed this house, that my Name may be there, unto times age-abiding, —and mine eyes and my heart shall he there, all the days.
Metia eye mekɔ gbedoxɔ sia ŋuti ale be nye ŋkɔ anɔ afi ma tegbetegbee. Nye ŋkuwo kple nye dzi anɔ afi ma ɣe sia ɣi.
17 Thou, therefore, if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, even to do according to all that I have commanded thee, —and, my statutes and regulations, thou wilt observe,
“Ke wò la, ne àzɔ le ŋkunye me, aɖi anukware abe fofowò, David ene eye nàwɔ nye seawo dzi, alé nye ɖoɖowo kple kɔnuwo me ɖe asi la,
18 then will I establish the throne of thy kingdom, —according as I covenanted to David thy father, saying—There shall not fail thee a man, to rule over Israel.
ekema makpɔ egbɔ be, wò fiaɖuƒe nali ke abe ale si medo ŋugbe na fofowò David ene hegblɔ nɛ be, ‘Wò ame siwo aɖu fia ɖe Israel dzi la matso o.’
19 But, if, ye yourselves, shall turn away, and forsake my statutes and my commandments, which I have set before you, —and shall go and serve other gods, and bow down to them,
“Ke ne mènɔ yonyeme o, ne ègbe se siwo mena mi dzi la wɔwɔ eye miesubɔ mawu bubuwo hede ta agu na wo la,
20 then will I root you out from off the soil, which I have given to you, and, this house, which I have hallowed for my Name, will I cast off from before my face, —and will appoint it for a by-word and a mockery, among all the peoples;
mate nye amewo le nye anyigba si metsɔ na wo la dzi eye maɖe gbedoxɔ sia togbɔ be mekɔ eŋuti na ɖokuinye hã. Mana wòazu hamelo kple alɔmeɖenu le dukɔwo katã dome.
21 and, this house which hath been renowned, all that pass by near it, shall be astonished, —and say, Wherefore hath Yahweh done, thus and thus, to this land, and to this house?
Gbedoxɔ sia azu xɔ gbagbã si ƒe xɔtunuwo woali kɔe ɖi eye ame sia ame si ava tso eme yina la ƒe nu aku, eye wòabia be, ‘Nu ka ta Yehowa wɔ nu siawo ɖe anyigba sia kple gbedoxɔ sia ŋu?’
22 And men shall say, Because they forsook Yahweh the God of their fathers, who brought them up out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold of other gods, and bowed down to them, and served them, for this cause, hath he brought upon them, all this calamity.
Woaɖo eŋu be, ‘Elabena ameawo ɖe asi le Yehowa, wo fofowo ƒe Mawu, ame si kplɔ wo do goe le Egiptenyigba dzi la ŋu eye wosubɔ mawu bubuwo eya tae wòhe dzɔgbevɔ̃e sia va wo dzi ɖo!’”
