< 2 Chronicles 7 >
1 Now when Solomon had finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the LORD’s glory filled the house.
Soromoni paakapedza kunyengetera, moto wakaburuka kubva kudenga ukapisa chipiriso chinopiswa nezvibayiro uye kubwinya kwaJehovha kwakazadza temberi.
2 The priests could not enter into the LORD’s house, because the LORD’s glory filled the LORD’s house.
Vaprista vakatadza kupinda mutemberi yaJehovha nokuti kubwinya kwaJehovha kwakanga kwakaizadza.
3 All the children of Israel looked on, when the fire came down, and the LORD’s glory was on the house. They bowed themselves with their faces to the ground on the pavement, worshiped, and gave thanks to the LORD, saying, “For he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever!”
VaIsraeri vose pavakaona moto uchiburuka uye kubwinya kwaJehovha kuri pamusoro petemberi, vakapfugama pachivara zviso zvavo zvakatarisa pasi, uye vakanamata vakavonga Jehovha vachiti: “Iye akanaka; rudo rwake runogara nokusingaperi.”
4 Then the king and all the people offered sacrifices before the LORD.
Ipapo mambo navanhu vose vakapa zvibayiro pamberi paJehovha.
5 King Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty-two thousand head of cattle and a hundred twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the people dedicated God’s house.
Uye Mambo Soromoni akapa chibayiro chemombe zviuru makumi maviri nezviviri namakwai nembudzi zviuru zana namakumi maviri. Saka mambo navanhu vose vakakumikidza temberi yaMwari.
6 The priests stood, according to their positions; the Levites also with instruments of music of the LORD, which David the king had made to give thanks to the LORD, when David praised by their ministry, saying “For his loving kindness endures forever.” The priests sounded trumpets before them; and all Israel stood.
Vaprista vakaenda panzvimbo dzavo sezvakaitwawo navaRevhi vane zviridzwa zvaJehovha zvakanga zvagadzirwa naMambo Dhavhidhi kuti zvishandiswe pakurumbidza Jehovha uye ndizvo zvakashandiswa pavakavonga vachiti, “Rudo rwake runogara nokusingaperi.” Kune rumwe rutivi rwakatarisana navaRevhi, vaprista vakaridza hwamanda dzavo uye vaIsraeri vose vakanga vakamira.
7 Moreover Solomon made the middle of the court that was before the LORD’s house holy; for there he offered the burnt offerings and the fat of the peace offerings, because the bronze altar which Solomon had made was not able to receive the burnt offering, the meal offering, and the fat.
Soromoni akatsaura nzvimbo yapakati pechivanze chapamberi petemberi yaJehovha uye ipapo akapa zvipiriso zvinopiswa namafuta ezvipiriso zvokuwadzana, nokuti aritari yendarira yaakanga agadzira yaisakwana zvipiriso zvinopiswa, nezvipiriso zvoupfu namafuta.
8 So Solomon held the feast at that time for seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great assembly, from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of Egypt.
Saka Soromoni akatamba mutambo panguva iyoyo kwamazuva manomwe, uye Israeri yose yakanga inaye, ungano huru kwazvo, vanhu vaibva kuRebho Hamati kusvika kuRwizi rweIjipiti.
9 On the eighth day, they held a solemn assembly; for they kept the dedication of the altar seven days, and the feast seven days.
Pazuva rorusere vakaungana pamwe chete nokuti vakanga vapemberera kutsaurwa kwearitari kwamazuva manomwe uye mutambo uyu kwamamwezve mazuva manomwe.
10 On the twenty-third day of the seventh month, he sent the people away to their tents, joyful and glad of heart for the goodness that the LORD had shown to David, to Solomon, and to Israel his people.
Pazuva ramakumi maviri namatatu romwedzi wechinomwe akaendesa vanhu kudzimba dzavo, vachifara uye mwoyo yavo ichifara nokuda kwezvinhu zvakanaka zvakanga zvaitwa naJehovha kuna Dhavhidhi naSoromoni nokuvanhu vake Israeri.
11 Thus Solomon finished the LORD’s house and the king’s house; and he successfully completed all that came into Solomon’s heart to make in the LORD’s house and in his own house.
Soromoni paakapedza temberi yaJehovha nomuzinda wake, uye abudirira mukuita zvose zvaaiva nazvo mupfungwa dzake kuita mutemberi yaJehovha nomumuzinda wake,
12 Then the LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said to him, “I have heard your prayer, and have chosen this place for myself for a house of sacrifice.
Jehovha akazviratidza kwaari usiku akati: “Ndanzwa munyengetero wako uye ndazvisarudzira nzvimbo ino setemberi yezvibayiro.
13 “If I shut up the sky so that there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people,
“Kana ndikapfiga matenga kukasava nemvura inonaya, kana kuti ndikarayira mhashu kuti dziparadze nyika kana kuti ndikatuma denda pakati pavanhu vangu,
14 if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
kana vanhu vangu vanodaidzwa nezita rangu, vakazvininipisa, vakanyengetera vakatsvaga chiso changu, vakatendeuka kubva panzira dzavo dzakaipa, ipapo ndichavanzwa kubva kudenga uye ndicharegerera chivi chavo uye ndichaporesa nyika yavo.
15 Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to prayer that is made in this place.
Zvino meso angu achaona uye nzeve dzangu dzichanzwa minyengetero ichapirwa munzvimbo ino.
16 For now I have chosen and made this house holy, that my name may be there forever; and my eyes and my heart will be there perpetually.
Ndasarudza ndikatsaura temberi ino kuti Zita rangu rivepo nokusingaperi. Meso angu nomwoyo wangu zvicharamba zviripo.
17 “As for you, if you will walk before me as David your father walked, and do according to all that I have commanded you, and will keep my statutes and my ordinances,
“Kana uriwe, kana ukafamba pamberi pangu sezvakaitwa naDhavhidhi baba vako, uye ukaita zvose zvandichakurayira uye ukachengeta mitemo yangu nemirayiro yangu,
18 then I will establish the throne of your kingdom, according as I covenanted with David your father, saying, ‘There shall not fail you a man to be ruler in Israel.’
ndichasimbisa chigaro chako choushe, sezvandakavimbisa Dhavhidhi baba vako pandakati, ‘Hauchazongokundikani kuva nomunhu achatonga Israeri.’
19 But if you turn away and forsake my statutes and my commandments which I have set before you, and go and serve other gods and worship them,
“Asi kana mukatsauka mukasiya mitemo nezvandakakurayirai, mukaenda kundoshumira vamwe vaMwari mukavanamata,
20 then I will pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have made holy for my name, I will cast out of my sight, and I will make it a proverb and a byword among all peoples.
ipapo ndichadzura Israeri kubva kunyika yangu, yandakavapa, uye ndicharasira kure temberi iyi yandakazvitsaurira Zita rangu. Ndichaiita tsumo nechiseko pakati pamarudzi ose.
21 This house, which is so high, everyone who passes by it will be astonished and say, ‘Why has the LORD done this to this land and to this house?’
Uye kunyange temberi ino ichishamisa zvakadai, vose vachapfuura napairi vachakanuka vagoti, ‘Seiko Jehovha akaita chinhu chakadai kunyika ino nokutemberi iyi?’
22 They shall answer, ‘Because they abandoned the LORD, the God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and took other gods, worshiped them, and served them. Therefore he has brought all this evil on them.’”
Vanhu vachapindura vachiti, ‘Nokuti vakasiya Jehovha Mwari wamadzibaba avo, akavabudisa kubva muIjipiti uye vakanamatira kuna vamwe vamwari uye vachivanamata nokuvashumira, ndokusaka akauyisa njodzi iyi pavari.’”
