2 Chronicles 6

1 Then said Solomon, The LORD hath said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.

Eka Solomon nowacho niya, “Jehova Nyasaye osewacho ni enodag ei bor polo motimo mudho.

2 But I have built a house of habitation for thee, and a place for thy dwelling for ever.

Asegeroni hekalu marahuma, kama inidagie nyaka chiengʼ.”

3 And the king turned his face, and blessed the whole congregation of Israel: and all the congregation of Israel stood.

Kane oganda jo-Israel duto ochungʼ kanyo, ruoth nolokore mogwedhogi.

4 And he said, Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel, who hath with his hands fulfilled [that] which he spoke with his mouth to my father David, saying,

Eka nowacho niya, “Pak obed ne Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach Israel, mosetimo gi lwete gima ne osingo gi dhoge ni Daudi wuonwa. Nikech nowacho niya,

5 Since the day that I brought forth my people from the land of Egypt I chose no city among all the tribes of Israel to build a house in, that my name might be there; neither chose I any man to be a ruler over my people Israel:

‘Chakre ndalo mane agolo joga koa Misri pok ayiero dala maduongʼ e dhoot moro amora mar Israel mondo oger hekalu kanyo ni Nyinga, to aseyiero Daudi mondo otel ni joga Israel.

6 But I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and have chosen David to be over my people Israel.

To koro aseyiero Jerusalem mondo obed kama Nyinga betie kendo aseyiero Daudi mondo otel ni joga Israel.’

7 Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of the LORD God of Israel:

“Daudi wuora noketo e chunye mondo oger hekalu moluongo nying Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach Israel.

8 But the LORD said to David my father, Forasmuch as it was in thy heart to build a house for my name, thou didst well in that it was in thy heart;

To Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ni Daudi wuora niya, ‘Nitimo maber mondo ibed gi wach gero hekalu ni nyinga e chunyi.

9 Notwithstanding thou shalt not build the house; but thy son who shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house for my name.

Kata kamano in ok niger hekalu, to wuodi, ma en ringri gi rembi iwuon; en ema noger hekalu ni Nyinga.’

10 The LORD therefore hath performed his word that he hath spoken; for I am raised up in the room of David my father, and am set on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built the house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.

“Jehova Nyasaye oserito singruok mane otimo. Asekawo loch wuora Daudi kendo asebet e kom loch mar Israel mana kaka Nyasaye nosingo kendo asegero hekalu ni Nying Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach Israel.

11 And in it have I put the ark, in which [is] the covenant of the LORD, that he made with the children of Israel.

Aseketo Sandug Muma ma moketie singruok mane Jehova Nyasaye otimo e kinde gi jo-Israel.”

12 And he stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands:

Eka Solomon nochungʼ e nyim kendo mar misango mar Jehova Nyasaye e nyim oganda duto mar jo-Israel kendo norieyo bedene kochomo malo.

13 (For Solomon had made a brazen scaffold, of five cubits long, and five cubits broad, and three cubits high, and had set it in the midst of the court: and upon it he stood, and kneeled upon his knees before all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands towards heaven, )

Noseloso raidhi mar mula ma borne gi lachne romo fut aboro to borne kadhi malo en fut abich mokete e dier laru ma oko. Ne ochungʼ e raidhino mi ogoyo chonge piny e nyim oganda duto mar jo-Israel kendo norieyo bedene kochomo polo.

14 And said, O LORD God of Israel, [there is] no God like thee in the heaven, nor on the earth; who keepest covenant, and [showest] mercy to thy servants, that walk before thee with all their hearts:

Kowacho niya, “Yaye Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach Israel, onge Nyasaye moro e polo kata e piny machal kodi. In e Nyasaye marito singruok mar herane ni jotichne maluwo yoreni gi chunygi duto.

15 Thou who hast kept with thy servant David my father that which thou hast promised him; and hast spoken with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled [it] with thy hand, as [it is] this day.

Iserito singruokni mane itimo gi jatichni Daudi wuora, ne isingori gi dhogi kendo isechopo singruokno gi lweti, mana kaka en kawuononi.

16 Now therefore, O LORD God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that which thou hast promised him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit upon the throne of Israel; provided thy children take heed to their way to walk in my law, as thou hast walked before me.

“To koro Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach Israel rit singruok mane itimo gi jatichni Daudi wuora kiwachone niya, ‘Ok inibed maonge ngʼama bet e nyima e kom loch Israel ka nyikwayi onono kaka giwuotho e nyima kaka chikna dwaro mana kaka isetimo.’

17 Now then, O LORD God of Israel, let thy word be verified, which thou hast spoken to thy servant David.

To koro, yaye Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach Israel yie mondo wach mane isingo ni jatichni Daudi wuora otimre mana kaka ne isingo.

18 But will God in very deed dwell with men on the earth? behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house which I have built!

“To bende Nyasaye nyalo dak e piny kod ji? Kata polo malo kata polo mabor ok nyal romi, to koro hekalu mageroni to diromi nade!

19 Have respect therefore to the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O LORD my God, to hearken to the cry and the prayer which thy servant prayeth before thee:

Kata kamano chik iti ni lamo jatichni gi kwayone mar ngʼwono yaye Jehova Nyasaye Nyasacha. Winji ywak gi lemo ma jatichni lamo e nyimi.

20 That thy eyes may be open upon this house day and night, upon the place of which thou hast said, that thou wouldst put thy name there; to hearken to the prayer which thy servant prayeth towards this place.

Mad wangʼi rang hekaluni odiechiengʼ kod otieno, kama niwacho ni Nyingi nobedie. Yie iwinji lemo ma jatichni lamo kochomo odni.

21 Hearken therefore to the supplications of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, which they shall make towards this place: hear thou from thy dwelling-place, [even] from heaven; and when thou hearest, forgive.

Winji lamo mar jatichni kaachiel gi jogi Israel ka gilamo ka gichomo odni. Winji gi e polo kar dakni kendo kiwinjo to iwenwa richowa.

22 If a man shall sin against his neighbor, and an oath be laid upon him to make him swear, and the oath shall come before thy altar in this house;

“Ka ngʼato oketho ni wadgi kendo dwarore ni mondo okwongʼre kendo obiro mokwongʼore e nyim kendo mar misango manie hekaluni,

23 Then hear thou from heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, by requiting the wicked, by recompensing his way upon his own head; and by justifying the righteous, by giving him according to his righteousness.

to iwinji gi e polo kendo itim kaka owinjore. Ngʼad bura e kind jotichni kikumo joketho kendo iket richogi e wigi bende joma onge ketho iket kare kaluwore gi timgi makare.

24 And if thy people Israel shall be put to the worse before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee; and shall return and confess thy name, and pray and make supplication before thee in this house;

“Ka jogi Israel olo e lweny gi jowasikgi nikech gisekethoni to bangʼe gilokore mi gipako nyingi, ka gilamo kendo gikwayo e hekaluni,

25 Then hear thou from the heavens, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again to the land which thou gavest to them and to their fathers.

to iwinjgi gi e polo kendo iwe richo jogi Israel kendo iduog-gi e piny mane imiyogi kod kweregi.

26 When the heaven is shut, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee; [yet] if they pray towards this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, when thou dost afflict them;

“Ka polo olor kendo koth onge nikech jogi osekethoni to ka gilemo kaeni ka gipako nyingi kendo ka gilokore giweyo richogi nikech isekelonegi chandruok,

27 Then hear thou from heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, when thou hast taught them the good way in which they should walk; and send rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy people for an inheritance.

to yie mondo iwinjgi gie polo kendo iwene jotichni ma jo-Israel richogi. Puonjgi yo makare mar dak kendo iornegi koth e piny mane imiyo jogi kaka girkeni margi.

28 If there shall be dearth in the land, if there be pestilence, if there be blasting, or mildew, locusts, or caterpillars; if their enemies shall besiege them in the cities of their land; whatever calamity, or whatever sickness [there be]:

“Ka kech kata dera omako piny kata ka abach omako cham kata tuo ewi dongo, kata ka bonyo kata kungu, kata ka jowasigu olworo miechgi madongo, kata ka midekre kata tuo omakogi,

29 [Then] whatever prayer, [or] whatever supplication shall be made by any man, or by all the people of Israel, when every one shall know his own calamity, and his own grief, and shall spread forth his hands in this house:

to ka ngʼato kuom jogi ma jo-Israel olemo kata okwayi, ka gingʼeyo gima chando chunygi kod lit ka girieyo bedegi kochomo hekaluni,

30 Then hear thou from heaven thy dwelling-place, and forgive, and render to every man according to all his ways, whose heart thou knowest (for thou only knowest the hearts of the children of men: )

to yie iwinji gie polo kama idakie. Wenegi richogi kendo tim ne ngʼato ka ngʼato gima owinjore gi gik motimo nikech ingʼeyo chunygi (nikech in kendi ema ingʼeyo chuny dhano),

31 That they may fear thee, to walk in thy ways, so long as they live in the land which thou gavest to our fathers.

mondo omi gilwori kendo giwuoth e yoreni ndalogi duto ma gin-go e piny mane imiyo kwerewa.

32 Moreover concerning the stranger, who is not of thy people Israel, but hath come from a distant country for thy great name's sake, and thy mighty hand, and thy out-stretched arm; if they come and pray in this house;

“To kuom jadak ma ok achiel kuom jogi Israel moa e piny mabor nikech nyingi maduongʼ kendo lweti maratego kod badi marabora moriere, ka gibiro ma gilemo ka gichomo hekaluni,

33 Then hear thou from the heavens, [even] from 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, and fear thee, as [do] thy people Israel, and may know that this house which I have built is called by thy name.

to yie mondo iwinji gie polo kama idakie kendo tim gimoro amora ma jadakno okwayi mondo ogendini duto mag piny ongʼe nyingi kendo oluori mana kaka jogi Israel kendo mondo gingʼe ni ot ma asegeroni luongo nyingi.

34 If thy people go out to war against their enemies by the way that thou shalt send them, and they pray to thee towards this city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name;

“Ka jogi odhi kedo gi jowasikgi kamoro amora ma ibiro orogie ka gilami kagichomo dalani miseyiero kendo hekalu masegero maluongo nyingi,

35 Then hear thou from the heavens their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.

to yie iwinji gie polo lamogi kod kwayogi kendo konygi.

36 If they sin against thee, (for [there is] no man who sinneth not, ) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them over before [their] enemies, and they carry them away captives to a land far off or near;

“To ka giketho e nyimi, nimar onge ngʼato kata achiel ma ok jaketho mi ikecho kodgi kendo ichiwogi e lwet wasigu mi giterogi e twech e piny mabor kata machiegni,

37 Yet [if] they bethink themselves in the land whither they are carried captive, and turn and pray to thee in the land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have done amiss, and have dealt wickedly;

kendo ka chunygi olokore e piny mane otergi e twech kendo giweyo richogi kendo gikwayi e piny wasikgi mane otweyogi kagiwacho niya, ‘Wasetimo richo kendo waseketho bende wasetimo mamono;’

38 If they return to thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, whither they have carried them captives, and pray towards their land which thou gavest to their fathers, and [towards] the city which thou hast chosen, and towards the house which I have built for thy name:

to ka gidwogo iri gi chunygi duto kod ngimagi duto e piny mane otergi e twech, kendo gilemo ka girango pinygi mane imiyo kweregi, kod dala maduongʼ miseyiero kod hekalu ma asegero ni nyingi,

39 Then hear thou from the heavens, [even] from thy dwelling-place, their prayer and their supplications, and maintain their cause, and forgive thy people who have sinned against thee.

to yie iwinji lemogi gi kwayogi gie polo kar dakni kendo ikonygi. Kendo iwe ni jogi mosetimo richo e nyimi.

40 Now, my God, let, I beseech thee, thy eyes be open, and [let] thy ears [be] attentive to the prayer [that is made] in this place.

“Koro Nyasacha, yie mondo wengegi oyawre kendo itgi mondo owinj maber lemo ma wachiwo kaeni.

41 Now therefore arise, O LORD God, into thy resting-place, thou, and the ark of thy strength: let thy priests, O LORD God, be clothed with salvation, and let thy saints rejoice in goodness.

“Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, koro chungʼ malo kendo idonj e kar yweyo,

42 O LORD God, turn not away the face of thy anointed: remember the mercies of David thy servant.

Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, kik ikwed ngʼatno misewiro.
