2 Chronicles 7
1 When Solomon finished praying, fire came down from the sky and burned all the offerings and sacrifices [that were on the altar], and the glorious radiance of Yahweh filled the temple.
Kane Solomon otieko lemo, mach nolwar koa e polo mowangʼo misango miwangʼo pep kod misengini mamoko kendo duongʼ mar Jehova Nyasaye nopongʼo hekalu.
2 The radiance [was extremely bright], with the result that the priests could not enter the temple of Yahweh.
Jodolo ne ok nyal donjo e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye nikech duongʼ mar Jehova Nyasaye nopongʼe.
3 When all the Israeli people [who were there] saw the fire coming down and the glory of Yahweh above the temple, they prostrated themselves with their faces touching the ground. They worshiped and thanked Yahweh, singing, “Yahweh is always good to us; he faithfully loves us forever.”
Kane jo-Israel duto noneno mach koa e polo kabiro piny kod duongʼ mar Jehova Nyasaye kani ewi hekalu negigoyo chongegi e ndiri ka gikulore auma. Negilamo kendo goyone Jehova Nyasaye erokamano, kagiwacho niya, “Jehova Nyasaye ber kendo herane osiko manyaka chiengʼ.”
4 Then the king and all the people who were there dedicated the temple to Yahweh by offering more sacrifices to him. King Solomon gave 22,000 cattle and 120,000 sheep and goats to be sacrificed.
Eka ruoth kod ji duto nochiwo misengini e nyim Jehova Nyasaye.
Ruoth Solomon nochiwo misango gi dhok alufu piero ariyo gi ariyo kod rombe gi diek maromo alufu mia achiel gi piero ariyo. Kamano ruoth kod ji duto nowalo hekalu mar Nyasaye.
6 The priests stood in their positions, and the other descendants of Levi stood in their positions holding the musical instruments [to praise] Yahweh, instruments that King David had caused to be made for praising Yahweh and thanking him. [They sang], “He faithfully loves us forever.” Facing the other descendants of Levi the priests stood, blowing their trumpets, while all the Israeli people were standing [and listening].
Jodolo nokawo keregi kaachiel gi jo-Lawi ka goyo thumbe mag Jehova Nyasaye mane ruoth Daudi nolosone pako Jehova Nyasaye kendo mane itiyogo kane odwoko erokamano kowacho niya, “Herane osiko manyaka chiengʼ.” Jodolo mane ochungʼ momanyore gi jo-Lawi ne goyo turumbete ka jo-Israel duto nochungʼ.
7 Solomon dedicated the middle part of the courtyard in front of the temple. Then he gave offerings to be completely burned there along with the fat of the animals to be sacrificed to maintain fellowship with Yahweh. The priests burned them there in the courtyard because in addition to those things there were offerings of grain, with the result that there was not enough space on the bronze altar to burn all those sacrifices.
Solomon nopwodho dier laru mane nitie e nyim hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye kendo kanyo nochiwoe misengini miwangʼo pep kod boche miwangʼo mag misango mar lalruok nikech kendo mar misango mar mula manoloso ne ok nyal tingʼo misengini miwangʼo, gi chiwo mag cham kod boche.
8 Solomon [and the other people] celebrated the Festival of Living in Temporary Shelters for seven days. There was a huge group of people who celebrated with him. Some of them came from [as far away as] Lebo-Hamath [in the far north] and the border of Egypt [in the far south].
E ndalogo Solomon kod jo-Israel duto notimo sawo kuom ndalo abiriyo. Ne en chokruok maduongʼ mochakore Lebo Hamath nyaka Wadi man Misri.
9 On the eighth/next day they gathered again [to worship Yahweh]. They had celebrated the dedication of the altar for seven days and the Festival of Living in Temporary Shelters for seven days.
Chiengʼ mar aboro negichokore nikech negisepwodho kendo mar misango kuom ndalo abiriyo kendo sawo bende kuom ndalo abiriyo.
10 Then on the next day Solomon sent them to their homes. They were very joyful because of all the good things that Yahweh had done for David and Solomon and for all his Israeli people.
To odiechiengʼ mar piero ariyo gadek mar dwe mar abiriyo nomiyo ji thuolo mondo odog e miechgi ka gimor gi ilo e chunygi nikech gik mabeyo mane Jehova Nyasaye osetimo ni Daudi gi Solomon kendo ni joge Israel.
11 Solomon’s [workers] finished building the temple and Solomon’s palace. And Solomon finished doing everything else that he had planned to do.
Kane Solomon osetieko gero hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye kod od ruoth mar dak kendo nosetieko timo gik moko duto manochano mondo otim e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye kod ode owuon;
12 Then Yahweh appeared to him one night [in a dream] and said to him, “I have heard your prayer, and I have chosen this temple to be the place where my people will offer sacrifices to me.
Jehova Nyasaye nofwenyorene gotieno mowacho niya, “Asewinjo lemoni kendo aseyiero hekalu ka kaka kara mitimoe misengini.
13 “When I prevent any rain from falling, or when I command locusts to eat all the crops, or when I send a plague among my people,
“Ka aloro polo ni koth kik chuwe kata ka keto bonyo mondo ocham piny kata aoro dera marach mar tho ne joga,
14 if the people who belong to me humble themselves and pray, and request me to help them, and if they turn away from their sinful behavior, then I will hear from heaven. I will forgive them for having sinned and I will cause them to prosper again.
to ka joga miluongo gi nyinga obolore ka lemo kendo manyo wangʼa, ka giweyo yoregi maricho, eka nawinj gie polo, mi nawenegi richogi kendo nares pinygi.
15 I [SYN] will see them and I [SYN] will hear them when they pray to me in this place.
Eka nangʼigi kendo nachik ita ni lemo molam ka.
16 I have chosen and have (set apart/dedicated) this temple in order that people may worship [MTY] me there forever. I will always watch over [MTY] it and protect [IDM] it.
Aseyiero kendo pwodho hekaluni mondo nyinga obedie nyaka chiengʼ, wengena kod chunya nobed kanyo kinde duto.
17 “And as for you, if you obey me as David your father did, and if you do all that I command you to do, and obey all my laws and decrees,
“To in kiwuotho e nyima kaka Daudi wuonu notimo kendo itimo duto ma achiko kendo rito chikena gi buchena,
18 I will make sure that your descendants will always be kings, which is what I promised to David your father, saying, ‘Some of your descendants will always be the kings of Israel.’
eka anagur lochni mar ruoth kaka ne asingorane Daudi wuonu, kane awachone ni, ‘Ok inibed maonge ngʼato marito jo-Israel kaka ruoth.’
19 “But if you Israelis turn away from me and disobey the decrees and commands that I have given to you, and you start to worship other gods,
“To kulokoru mi ok umako wechena kod chikena ma asemiyou kendo udhi mondo uti ne nyiseche mamoko kendo lamogi,
20 I will cause you to be expelled from this land that I have given to you, and I will abandon this temple that I have set apart to be the place where people should worship me. I will cause it to be despised and ridiculed by people of all nations.
napudh jo-Israel oko ma agolgi e pinya mane amiyogi kendo anakwed hekaluni ma asepwodho nikech Nyinga. Enobed ka ngero kendo gima ji duto jaro.
21 Although this temple is now greatly respected, when that happens, all the people who pass by will be appalled, and they will say, ‘Why has Yahweh done terrible things like this to this country and to this temple?’
Kata obedo ni hekaluni koro nigi duongʼ, ji duto mabiro kadho bute nowuor kendo nohum ka gipenjo ni, ‘Angʼo momiyo Jehova Nyasaye osetimo gima chalo kama ni pinyni kod hekaluni?’
22 And others will reply, ‘It happened because they rejected Yahweh, the God to whom their ancestors belonged, the one who brought their ancestors out of Egypt, and they have been worshiping other gods and trying to please them. And that is why Yahweh has caused them to experience all these disasters.’”
Ji nodwokgi ni, ‘Nikech negiweyo Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach kweregi manogologi e piny Misri mine gikawo nyiseche mamoko ka gilamogi kendo tiyonegi ma emomiyo osekelo masichegi duto kuomgi.’”
