1 Kings 8
1 Solomon then summoned to Jerusalem all the elders of Israel, all the leaders of the tribes, and the leaders of the clans. He wanted them to join in bringing Yahweh’s Sacred Chest from Zion [Hill to the temple], where it was in the part of the city called ‘The City of David’.
Nígbà náà ni Solomoni pe àwọn àgbàgbà Israẹli àti gbogbo àwọn olórí àwọn ẹ̀yà àti àwọn olórí ìdílé àwọn ọmọ Israẹli jọ papọ̀, níwájú Solomoni ọba ní Jerusalẹmu, láti gbé àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa wá láti ìlú Dafidi, tí ń ṣe Sioni.
2 So all the Israeli leaders came to King Solomon during the Festival of [Living in Temporary] Shelters, in October.
Gbogbo àwọn ọkùnrin Israẹli sì pe ara wọn jọ sọ́dọ̀ Solomoni ọba ní àkókò àjọ ọdún ní oṣù Etanimu tí í ṣe oṣù keje.
3 When they had all arrived, the priests lifted up the Sacred Chest
Nígbà tí gbogbo àwọn àgbàgbà Israẹli dé, àwọn àlùfáà sì gbé àpótí ẹ̀rí,
4 and brought it to the temple. The descendants of Levi [who assisted the priests] helped them to carry to the temple the Sacred Tent and all the sacred things that had been in the tent.
wọ́n sì gbé àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa àti àgọ́ àjọ ènìyàn àti gbogbo ohun èlò mímọ́ tí ó wà nínú àgọ́. Àwọn àlùfáà àti àwọn ọmọ Lefi sì gbé wọn gòkè wá,
5 Then King Solomon and many of the Israeli people who had gathered in front of Yahweh’s Sacred Chest sacrificed a huge amount of sheep and oxen. No one was able to count the sacrifices [because there were so many].
àti Solomoni ọba, àti gbogbo ìjọ ènìyàn tí ó péjọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ níwájú àpótí ẹ̀rí, wọ́n ń fi ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ àgùntàn àti màlúù tí a kò le mọ iye, àti tí a kò le kà rú ẹbọ.
6 The the priests then brought the Sacred Chest into the Very Holy Place in the temple, and they placed it under the wings of the [statues of the] winged creatures.
Nígbà náà ni àwọn àlùfáà gbé àpótí ẹ̀rí ti májẹ̀mú Olúwa wá sí ipò rẹ̀, sí ibi inú lọ́hùn ún ilé Olúwa, Ibi Mímọ́ Jùlọ, wọ́n gbé e sí abẹ́ ìyẹ́ àwọn kérúbù.
7 The wings of those statues spread out over the Sacred Chest and over the poles by which it was carried.
Àwọn kérúbù na ìyẹ́ wọn méjèèjì sí ibi àpótí ẹ̀rí, wọ́n sì bo àpótí ẹ̀rí náà, àti àwọn ọ̀pá rẹ̀ tí a fi ń gbé e.
8 The poles were so long that the ends of the poles could be seen [by people who were standing] at the entrance to the Most Holy Place, but they could not be seen [by people standing] outside the temple. Those poles are still there.
Àwọn ọ̀pá yìí ga tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí a fi le rí orí wọn láti Ibi Mímọ́ níwájú ibi tí a yà sí mímọ́, ṣùgbọ́n a kò sì rí wọn lóde Ibi Mímọ́, wọ́n sì wà níbẹ̀ títí di òní yìí.
9 The only things that were in the Sacred Chest were the two stone tablets that Moses had put there at Sinai [Mountain], where Yahweh made an agreement with the people after they left Egypt.
Kò sí ohun kankan nínú àpótí ẹ̀rí bí kò ṣe wàláà òkúta méjì tí Mose ti fi sí ibẹ̀ ní Horebu, níbi tí Olúwa ti bá àwọn ọmọ Israẹli dá májẹ̀mú, lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí wọ́n jáde kúrò ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti.
10 When the priests came out of the temple, [suddenly] it was filled with a cloud.
Nígbà tí àwọn àlùfáà jáde láti Ibi Mímọ́, àwọsánmọ̀ sì kún ilé Olúwa.
11 It was the glory/radiance of Yahweh that filled the temple, with the result that the priests were not able to continue their work.
Àwọn àlùfáà kò sì le ṣiṣẹ́ wọn nítorí àwọsánmọ̀ náà, nítorí ògo Olúwa kún ilé náà.
12 Then Solomon prayed this: “Yahweh, you have placed the sun in the sky, but you have decided that you would live in very dark [clouds].
Nígbà náà ni Solomoni sì wí pé, “Olúwa ti wí pé, òun yóò máa gbé inú òkùnkùn biribiri.
13 I have built for you a magnificent temple, a place for you to live in forever.”
Nítòótọ́, èmi ti kọ́ ilé kan fún ọ, ibi tí ìwọ yóò máa gbé títí láéláé.”
14 Then, while all the people stood there, the king turned around and faced them, and he [asked God to] bless them.
Nígbà tí gbogbo ìjọ ènìyàn Israẹli sì dúró síbẹ̀, ọba sì yí ojú rẹ̀, ó sì bùkún fún wọn.
15 He said, “Praise Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis belong! By his own power he has done what he promised to give to my father David. What he promised was this:
Nígbà náà ni ó wí pé, “Ìbùkún ni fún Olúwa, Ọlọ́run Israẹli, ẹni tí ó ti fi ọwọ́ ara rẹ̀ mú ìlérí tí ó fi ẹnu rẹ̀ sọ fún Dafidi baba mi ṣẹ. Nítorí tí ó wí pé,
16 ‘From the time that I brought my people out of Egypt, I have never chosen any city in Israel in which a temple should be built for my people to worship me there. But I chose you, David, to rule my people.”
‘Láti ọjọ́ tí èmi ti mú àwọn ènìyàn mi Israẹli jáde kúrò ní Ejibiti, èmi kò tí ì yan ìlú kan nínú gbogbo ẹ̀yà Israẹli láti kọ́ ilé kan fún orúkọ mi láti wà níbẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n èmi ti yan Dafidi láti ṣàkóso àwọn Israẹli ènìyàn mi.’
17 [Then Solomon said], “My father David wanted to build a temple in order that we Israeli people could worship Yahweh our God there.
“Dafidi baba mi sì ní i lọ́kàn láti kọ́ ilé kan fún orúkọ Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli.
18 But Yahweh said to him, ‘You have wanted to build a temple for me, and what you wanted to do was good.
Ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa sì wí fún Dafidi baba mi pé, ‘Nítorí tí ó wà ní ọkàn rẹ láti kọ́ ilé kan fún orúkọ mi, ó dára láti ní èyí ní ọkàn rẹ.
19 However, you are not the one [who I want] to build it. It is one of your sons, who [I want to] build a temple for me.’
Ṣùgbọ́n, ìwọ kọ́ ni yóò kọ́ ilé náà, ṣùgbọ́n ọmọ rẹ, tí ó tinú ara rẹ àti ẹ̀jẹ̀ rẹ jáde; òun ni yóò kọ́ ilé náà fún orúkọ mi.’
20 And now Yahweh has done what he promised to do. I have become the king of Israel to succeed my father, and I am ruling my people, like Yahweh promised. I have [arranged for] this temple [to be] built for us Israelis to worship Yahweh, the God, to whom we Israelis belong.
“Olúwa sì ti pa ìlérí rẹ̀ tí ó ṣe mọ́, èmi sì ti rọ́pò Dafidi baba mi, mo sì jókòó lórí ìtẹ́ Israẹli báyìí, gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti ṣèlérí, èmi sì kọ́ ilé kan fún orúkọ Olúwa, Ọlọ́run Israẹli.
21 I have also provided a place [in the temple] for the Sacred Chest in which are the two stone tablets [on which are engraved the Ten Commandments of] the agreement that Yahweh made with our ancestors when he brought them out of Egypt.”
Èmi sì ti pèsè ibìkan níbẹ̀ fún àpótí ẹ̀rí, èyí tí í ṣe májẹ̀mú Olúwa tí ó ti bá àwọn baba wa dá, nígbà tí ó mú wọn jáde láti ilẹ̀ Ejibiti wá.”
22 Then Solomon stood in front of the altar which was facing the Israeli people who had gathered there. He spread out his arms toward heaven,
Solomoni sì dúró níwájú pẹpẹ Olúwa, níwájú gbogbo ìjọ ènìyàn Israẹli, ó sì na ọwọ́ rẹ̀ méjèèjì sókè ọ̀run.
23 and he prayed, “Yahweh, the God whom we Israeli people [belong to/worship], there is no god like you up in heaven or down here on the earth. You solemnly promised that you would faithfully love us. And that is what you have done for us who earnestly do what you want us to do.
Ó sì wí pé, “Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli, kò sí Ọlọ́run tí ó dàbí rẹ lókè ọ̀run tàbí ní ìsàlẹ̀ ilẹ̀ ìwọ tí ó pa májẹ̀mú àti àánú mọ́ pẹ̀lú àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ tí ń fi gbogbo ọkàn wọn rìn níwájú rẹ.
24 You have done the things that you promised my father David, who served you [very well], that you would do. Truly, you promised to do these things for him, and today we see that by your power you have done them.
O sì ti pa ìlérí rẹ mọ́ fún ìránṣẹ́ rẹ Dafidi baba mi; pẹ̀lú ẹnu rẹ ni ìwọ ṣe ìlérí, o sì mú u ṣẹ pẹ̀lú ọwọ́ rẹ, bí ó ti rí lónìí.
25 So now, Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [belong to/worship], please do the things that you promised my father that you would do. You told him that there would always be some of his descendants who would rule Israel, if they would conduct their lives as he did.
“Ǹjẹ́ báyìí Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli, bá ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ Dafidi baba mi pa ohun tí ìwọ ti ṣe ìlérí fún un mọ́ wí pé, ìwọ kì yóò kùnà láti ní ènìyàn kan láti jókòó níwájú mi lórí ìtẹ́ Israẹli, kìkì bí àwọn ọmọ rẹ bá lè kíyèsi ohun tí wọ́n ń ṣe láti máa rìn níwájú mi bí ìwọ ti rìn.
26 So now, God of us Israeli people, cause what you promised to do for my father David, who served you [well], to happen.
Ǹjẹ́ báyìí, Ọlọ́run Israẹli, jẹ́ kí ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ tí o ti ṣe ìlérí fún ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ Dafidi baba mi wá sí ìmúṣẹ.
27 But God, you cannot really live on the earth. There is surely not enough space for you in the sky, or even in the heaven. So there is surely not enough space for you to live in this temple that my workers have built.
“Ṣùgbọ́n nítòótọ́, Ọlọ́run yóò máa gbé ayé bí? Ọ̀run àti ọ̀run àwọn ọ̀run kò le gbà ọ́. Kí a má sọ pé ilé yìí tí mo kọ́ fún ọ!
28 But Yahweh, my God, please listen to me while I am praying to you this day,

29 Please keep protecting this temple night and day. This is the place about which you have said, ‘I will always be there.’ I request that you listen to me whenever I turn toward this temple and pray.

30 I request that when I pray to you and your people pray to you while they turn toward this place, that in your home in heaven you will hear us and forgive us [for the sins that we have committed].

31 If someone is accused of doing something wrong to another person, and they bring him to your altar outside this holy temple, and if he says, ‘I did not do that; may God punish me if I am not telling the truth,’
“Nígbà tí ẹnìkan bá ṣẹ̀ sí ẹnìkejì rẹ̀, tí a sì fi wá lé e láti mú un búra, bí ìbúra náà bá sì dé iwájú pẹpẹ rẹ ní ilé yìí,
32 then you listen from heaven, and decide who is telling the truth. Then punish the person who is guilty as he deserves to be punished, and declare that the other person is innocent.

33 And when your Israeli people are defeated by their enemies [in a battle] because they have sinned against you, [and if they are forced to go to some distant country, ] if they turn away from their sinful behavior and turn toward this temple and admit that you [have justly punished them], and if they plead [that you will forgive them],
“Nígbà tí àwọn ọ̀tá bá ṣẹ́gun Israẹli, ènìyàn rẹ, nítorí tí wọ́n ti ṣẹ̀ sí ọ, tí wọ́n bá yípadà sí ọ, tí wọ́n sì jẹ́wọ́ orúkọ rẹ, tí wọ́n sì gbàdúrà, tí wọ́n sì bẹ̀bẹ̀ lọ́dọ̀ rẹ nínú ilé yìí

35 And when you do not allow any rain to fall on the land because your people have sinned against you, if they turn toward this temple and admit that you [have justly punished them], if they turn away from their sinful behavior and [humbly] pray to you,
“Nígbà tí ọ̀run bá sé mọ́, tí kò sí òjò, nítorí tí àwọn ènìyàn rẹ ti ṣẹ̀ sí ọ, bí wọ́n bá gbàdúrà sí ìhà ibí yìí, tí wọ́n sì jẹ́wọ́ orúkọ rẹ, tí wọ́n sì yípadà kúrò nínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn nítorí tí ìwọ ti pọ́n wọn lójú,

37 And when the people of this land experience famines, or if there is a plague/illness that causes many people to become sick, or if [their crops are destroyed by] very hot winds or [by] mildew or [by] locusts or grasshoppers, or when their enemies surround any of their cities [in order to attack them], if any of those bad things happen to them,

Nítorí wọn yóò bẹ̀rù rẹ ní gbogbo ọjọ́ tí wọn yóò wà ní ilẹ̀ tí ìwọ fi fún àwọn baba wa.
41 There will be some foreigners who do not belong to your Israeli people who have come here from countries far away because they have heard that you are very great and that you perform great miracles. If they come here to this temple to worship you and pray,
“Ní ti àwọn àlejò tí kì í ṣe Israẹli ènìyàn rẹ, ṣùgbọ́n tí ó ti ilẹ̀ òkèèrè jáde wá nítorí orúkọ rẹ,

43 in your home in heaven, listen to their prayers, and do for them what they request you to do. Do that so that all the people-groups in the world will know about you and revere you, like we your Israeli people do. And then they will know that this temple that I have [caused to be] built to honor you, is where you [should be worshiped].

44 And if you send your people to go to fight against their enemies, if they pray to you, wherever they are, if they turn toward this city that you have chosen and toward this temple that I have caused to be built for you,
“Nígbà tí àwọn ènìyàn rẹ bá jáde lọ sí ogun sí àwọn ọ̀tá wọn, níbikíbi tí ìwọ bá rán wọn, nígbà tí wọ́n bá gbàdúrà sí Olúwa sí ìhà ìlú tí ìwọ ti yàn àti síhà ilé tí mo ti kọ́ fún orúkọ rẹ,

46 [It is true that] everyone sins. So, if your people sin against you, and you become angry with them, you may allow their enemies to defeat them and capture them and take them away to their enemies’ country, even to countries that are far away.
“Nígbà tí wọ́n bá ṣẹ̀ sí ọ, nítorí kò sí ẹnìkan tí kì í ṣẹ̀, tí ìwọ sì bínú sí wọn, tí ìwọ sì fi wọ́n lé ọ̀tá lọ́wọ́, tí ó kó wọn ní ìgbèkùn lọ sí ilẹ̀ wọn, jíjìnnà tàbí nítòsí;

51 Do not forget that the Israelis are your people; they are your special possession; you brought [our ancestors] out of Egypt where [they were greatly suffering as though] they were in a blazing furnace.

54 After Solomon had finished praying and pleading to Yahweh [for his help], he stood up in front of the altar where he had been kneeling. He lifted up his arms.
Nígbà tí Solomoni ti parí gbogbo àdúrà àti ẹ̀bẹ̀ yìí sí Olúwa tán, ó dìde kúrò lórí eékún rẹ̀ níwájú pẹpẹ Olúwa níbi tí ó ti kúnlẹ̀ tí ó sì na ọwọ́ rẹ̀ sí òkè ọ̀run
55 Then he [asked God to] bless all the Israeli people. [He prayed] loudly, saying,
Ó sì dìde dúró ó sì fi ohùn rara súre fún gbogbo ìjọ ènìyàn Israẹli wí pé,
56 “Praise Yahweh, who has given us his people peace, like he promised that he would do. He has done every one of the good things that he promised to Moses, the man who served him [very well].
“Ìbùkún ni fún Olúwa tí ó ti fi ìsinmi fún Israẹli, ènìyàn rẹ̀ bí ó ti ṣèlérí. Kò sí ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀ kan tí ó kùnà nínú gbogbo ìlérí rere tí ó ti ṣe láti ọwọ́ Mose ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ wá.
57 I pray that our God will be with us like he was with our ancestors, and that he will never abandon us.

58 I pray that he will cause us to loyally serve him, to conduct our lives as he wants us to, and to obey all his commandments and statutes and laws that he gave to our ancestors.

59 I pray that Yahweh our God will never forget these words that I have prayed, pleading for his help; I pray that he will think about them by day and by night. I pray that he will always help [us] Israeli people and me, giving us the things that we need day by day.

60 If he does that, all the people-groups in the world will know that he is the only one who is God, and that there is no other one who is God.

61 I pray that you, [his people, ] will always be fully committed to Yahweh, and that you will obey all his statutes and commands, like you are doing now.”

62 Then the king and all the Israeli people who were there offered sacrifices to Yahweh.
Nígbà náà ni ọba àti gbogbo Israẹli rú ẹbọ níwájú Olúwa.
63 They sacrificed 22,000 cattle and 120,000 sheep to maintain fellowship with Yahweh. Then the king and all the people dedicated the temple.

64 On that day, the king also dedicated/set apart the middle part of the courtyard that was in front of the temple. Then he offered sacrifices that would be completely burned [in the courtyard], the offerings of grain and the fat of the animals that were sacrificed to maintain fellowship with Yahweh. They sacrificed them there because the bronze altar was not big enough for all those sacrifices to be burned on it [that day].

65 Then Solomon and all the Israeli people celebrated the Festival of [Living in Temporary] Shelters for seven days. There was a huge crowd of people there, some of whom had come from [distant places like] Hamath [in the far north] and the border of Egypt [in the far south].

66 On the eighth day, Solomon sent the people to their homes. They all praised him and went home happy because of all the things that Yahweh had done to bless [King] David and his Israeli people.
