2 Chronicles 6
1 Thanne Salomon seide, The Lord bihiyte, that he wolde dwelle in derknesse;
Kisha Selemani akasema, “Yahwe alisema kwamba ataishi katika giza nene,
2 forsothe I haue bilde an hows to his name, that he schulde dwelle there with outen ende.
lakini nimekujengea makao makuu, sehemu kwa ajili yako ya kuishi milele.”
3 And Salomon turnede his face, and blesside al the multitude of Israel; for al the cumpeny stood ententif; and he seide,
Kisha mfaalme akageuka nyuma na kuwabariki kusanyiko lote la Israeli, wakati kusanyiko lote la Israeli walikuwa wamesimama.
4 Blessid be the Lord God of Israel, for he fillide in werk that thing, that he spak to Dauid, my fadir, and seide,
Akasema, “Yahwe, Mungu wa Israeli, usifiwe, uliyesema na Daudi baba yangu, na ametimiza kwa mikono yake mwenyewe, akisema.
5 Fro the dai in which Y ledde my puple out of the lond of Egipt, Y chees not a citee of alle the lynagis of Israel, that an hows schulde be bildid therynne to my name, nether Y chees ony other man, that he schulde be duyk on my puple Israel;
'Tangu siku nilipowaleta watu wanagu nje ya nchi ya Misiri, sikuchaagua mji wowote nje ya makabaila yote ya Israeli ambamo nyumba ingejengwa, ili jina lanagu liwe humo. Wala sikuchagua mtu yeyote kuwa mfalme juu ya watu wangu Israeli.
6 but Y chees Jerusalem, that my name be therynne, and Y chees Dauid, to ordeyne hym on my puple Israel.
Aidha, nimechagua Yeruselemu, ili kwamba jina langu liwe humo, na nimemchagua Daudi kuwa juu ya watu wanagu Israeli. '
7 And whanne it was of the wille of Dauid, my fadir, to bilde an hows to the name of the Lord God of Israel,
Sasa ilikuwa ndani ya moyo wa Daudi baba yangu, kujenga nyumba kwa ajili ya jina la Yahwe, Mungu wa Israeli.
8 the Lord seide to hym, For this was thi wille, `that thou woldist bilde an hows to my name, sotheli thou didist wel,
Lakini Yahwe alisema kwa Daudi Baba yanagu. 'Kwmba ilikuwa ndani ya moyo wako kujenga nyumba kwa ajili ya jina langu, ulifanya vizuri kwa hili kuliweka moyono mwako.
9 hauynge suche a wil, but thou schalt not bilde an hows to me; netheles the sone, that schal go out of thi leendis, he schal bilde an hows to my name.
Aidha, hutaijenga ile nyumba, badala yake, mwanao, mmoja atakayetoka kwenye viuno vyako, ataijenga nyumba kwa ajili ya jina langu.'
10 Therfor the Lord hath fillid his word, which he spak; and Y roos for Dauid, my fader, and Y sat on the trone of Israel, as the Lord spak, and Y bildide an hous to the name of the Lord God of Israel;
Yahwe ameyatimiza maneno aliyokuwa amesema, kwa maana nimeiinua sehemu ya Daudi baba yangu, na ninkaa juu ya kiti cha enzi cha Israeli, kama alivyoahidi Yahwe. Nimeijenga nyumba kwa ajii ya jina la Yahwe, Mungu wa Israeli.
11 and I haue put therynne the arke, in which is the couenaunt of the Lord, which he `couenauntide with the sones of Israel.
Nimeliweka humo sanduku, amabamo kuna agano la Yahwe, alilofanya na watu wa Israeli.”
12 Therfor Salomon stood bifor the auter of the Lord euene ayens al the multitude of Israel, and stretchide forth his hondis.
Selemani akasimama mbele ya madhabahu ya Yahwe mbele za kusanyiko lote la Israeli, na akanyosha mikono yake.
13 For Salomon hadde maad a brasun foundement, and hadde set it in the myddis of the greet hows, and it hadde fyue cubitis of lengthe, and fyue of breede, and thre cubitis of heiythe, and he stood theron; and fro that tyme he knelide ayens al the multitude of Israel, and reiside the hondis in to heuene,
Kwa mana alikuwa ametengeneza jukwaa la shaba, lenye urefu wa mikono mitano, upana wa mikono mitano, urefu wake kwenda juu mikono mitatu. Alikuwa ameliweka katika ya uwanja. Akasimama juu yake na kupiga magoti mbele ya kusanyiko la Israeli, kisha akanyosha mikono yake kuzielekea mbingu.
14 and seide, Lord God of Israel, noon is lijk thee; `thou art God in heuene and in erthe, which kepist couenaunt and mercy with thi seruauntis, that goon bifor thee in al her herte;
Akasema, “Yahwe, Mungu wa Israeli, hakuna Mungu kama wewe katika mbingu, au juu ya dunia, ambaye anatunza agano na upendo imara na watumishi wako ambao hutembea mbele zako kwa moyo wao wote;
15 which hast youe to Dauid thi seruaunt, my fadir, what euer thingis thou hast spoke to hym, and thow hast fillid in werk tho thingis, whiche thou bihiytist bi mouth, as also present tyme preueth.
wewe uliyetimtimizia Daudi baba yanagu, uliyokuwa umemwahidi. Ndiyo, ulisema kwa kinywa chako na umetimiza kwa mkono wako, kama ilivyo leo.
16 Now therfor, Lord God of Israel, fille thou to thi seruaunt my fadir Dauid, what euer thingis thou hast spoke, seiynge, A man of thee schal not faile bifor me, that schal sitte on the trone of Israel; so netheles if thi sones kepen my weies, and goon in my lawe, as and thou hast go bifor me.
Sasa, Yahwe, Mungu wa Israeli, tunza ahadi uliyoahidi kwa mtumishi wako Daudi baba yangu, uliposema, 'Hautashindwa kupata mtu mbele yangu wa kukaa juu ya kiti cha enzi cha Israeli, ikiwa tu uzao wako ni waangalifu kutembea katika sheria yangu, kama wewe ulivyotembea mbele zangu.
17 And now, Lord God of Israel, thi word be maad stidefast, which thou spakist to thi seruaunt Dauid.
Sasa, Mungu wa Israeli, ninaomba kwamba ahadi uliyofanya kwa mtumishi wako Daudi itakuwa kweli.
18 Therfor whether it is leueful, that the Lord dwelle with men on erthe? If heuene and the heuenes of heuenes `taken not thee, how myche more this hows, which Y haue bildid?
Lakini kweli Mungu ataishi na wanadamu juu ya dunia? Angalia, dunia yoye na mbugu yenyewe haviwezi kukubeba -sembuse na hekalu hili nililojenga!
19 But herto oneli it is maad, that thou, my Lord God, biholde the preier of thi seruaunt, and the bisechyng of hym, and that thou here the preieris, whiche thi seruaunt schedith bifor thee;
Nakusihi yaheshimu maombi haya ya mtumishi wako na ombi lake. Yahwe Mungu wangu; sikia kilio na amaombi ambayo mtumishi wako anaomba mbele zako.
20 that thou opyne thin iyen on this hows bi dayes and nyytis, on the place in which thou bihiytist, that thi name schulde be clepid,
Fumbua macho yako kuelekea hekaalu hili usiku na mchana, sehemu aambaayo uliahidi kuliweka jina lako. Nakuomba usikie maombi atakayoomba mtumishi wako kuelekea sehemu hii.
21 and that thou woldist here the preier, which thi seruaunt preieth therynne. Here thou the preieris of thi seruaunt, and of thi puple Israel; who euer preieth in this place, here thou fro thi dwellyng place, that is, fro heuenes, and do thou merci.
Hivyo sikia maombi ya mtumishi na ya watu wako Israeli tunapoomba kuelekea sehemu hii. Ndiyo, sikia kutoka mahali unapoishi, kutoka mbinguni; na unaposikia, samehe.
22 If ony man synneth ayens his neiybore, and cometh redi to swere ayens him, and byndith hym silf with cursyng bifor the auter in this hows,
Kama mtu atamtenda dhambi jirani yake na ikampasa kuapa kiapo, na ikiwa atakuja na kuapa kiapo mbele ya madhabahu yako katika nyumba hii,
23 thou schalt here fro heuene, and schalt do the doom of thi seruauntis; so that thou yelde to the wickid man his weie in to his owne heed, and that thou venge the iust man, and yelde to hym after his riytfulnesse.
basi sikia kutoka mbinguni na kutend na ukawahukumu watumishi wako, ukamlipizie mwovu, ili kuyaleta matendo yake juu ya kichwa chake. Ukamtangaze mwenye haki kuwa hana hatia, ili kumlipa thawabu kwa ajili ya uaminifu wake.
24 If thi puple Israel is ouercomen of enemyes, for thei schulen do synne ayens thee, and if thei conuertid doen penaunce, and bisechen thi name, and preien in this place,
Watu wako watakaposhindwa na adui kwa sababu wamekutenda dhambi, kama watageuka nyuma kwako, wakilikili jina lako, wakisali na kuomba msamaha mbele zako hekaluni—
25 thou schalt here fro heuene, and do thou mercy to the synne of thi puple Israel, and brynge hem ayen `in to the lond, which thou hast youe to hem, and to `the fadris of hem.
basi tafadhali sikia mbinguni na usamehe dhambi za watu wako Isaraeli; uwarudishe katika nchi uliyoitoa kwa ajili yao na baba zao.
26 If whanne heuene is closid, reyn come not doun for the synne of thi puple, and thei bisechen thee in this place, and knowlechen to thi name, and ben turned fro her synnes, whanne thou hast turmentid hem,
Wakati mbingu zimefungwa na hakuna mvua kwa sababu watu wamekutenda dhambi—ikiwa wataomba kuelekea sehemu hii, wakilikili jina lako, na kuziacha dhambi zao utakapokuwa umewaadhibu—
27 here thou, Lord, fro heuene, and foryyue thou synnes to thi seruauntis, and to thi puple Israel, and teche thou hem a good weie, bi which thei schulen entre, and yyue thou reyn to the lond, which thou hast youe to thi puple to haue in possessioun.
basi sikia mbinguni na usamehe dhambi za watumishi wako na watu wako Israeli, utakapowaelekeza kwenye njia njema iwapasayo kutembea. Tuma mvua juu ya nchi yako, ambayo umewapa watu wako kama urithi.
28 If hungur risith in the lond, and pestilence, and rust, and wynd distriynge cornes, and a locuste, and bruke cometh, and if enemyes bisegen the yatis of the citee, aftir that the cuntreis ben distried, and al veniaunce and sikenesse oppressith;
Kama kuna njaa katika nchi, au kama kuna ugonjwa, tauni au ukungu, nzige au viwavijeshi, au kama adui wake wameyavamia malango ya mji katika nchi yao, au kwamba kuna pigo lolote au ugonjwa—
29 if ony of thi puple Israel bisechith, and knowith his veniaunce and sikenesse, and if he spredith abrood hise hondis in this hows,
na ikiwa sala na maombi yamefanywa na mtu au watu wako wote Israel—kila mmoja akilijua pigo na huzuni katika moyo wake akinyosha mikono yake kuelekea hekalu hili.
30 thou schalt here fro heuene, that is, fro thin hiye dwellyng place, and do thou mercy, and yelde thou to ech man aftir hise weies, whiche thou knowist, that he hath in his herte; for thou aloone knowist the hertis of the sones of men;
Basi sikiliza mbinguni, sehemu ambayo unaishi; samehe, na umlipe kila mtu kwa njia zake zote; uhaujua moyo wake, kwa sababu wewe na ni wewe pekee unaijua mioyo ya wanadamu.
31 that thei drede thee, and go in thi weies in alle daies, in which thei lyuen on the face of erthe, which thou hast youe to oure fadris.
Fanya hivyo ili kwamba wakuogope wewe, ili waweze kutembea katika katika njia zako siku zote ambazo wataishi katika nchi uliyowapa baba zetu.
32 Also thou schalt here fro heuene, thi moost stidfast dwellyng place, a straunger, which is not of thi puple Israel, if he cometh fro a fer lond for thi greet name, and for thi stronge hond, and arm holdun forth, `and preye in this place;
Kwa mgeni ambaye siyo sehemu ya watu wako Israeli, lakini ambaye- kwa sababu ya ukuu wa jina lako, mkono wako wenye nguvu, na mkono wako ulionyoshwa- akija na kuomba kuelekea sehemu nyumba hii,
33 and thou schalt do alle thingis, for which thilke pilgrym `inwardli clepith thee, that alle the puplis of erthe knowe thi name, and drede thee, as thi puple Israel doith; and that thei knowe, that thi name is clepid on this hows, which Y haue bildid to thi name.
basi sikiliza mbinguni, sehemu ambayo unaishi, na fanya yote ambayo mgeni atakuomba, ili kwamba watu wote wa dunia walijue jina lako na kukuogopa wewe, kama wafanyavyo watu wako Israeli, na kwamba waweze kujua kwamba nyumba hii niliyoijenga inaitwa kwa jina lako.
34 If thi puple goith out to batel ayens hise aduersaries, bi the weie in which thou sendist hem, thei schulen worschipe thee ayens the weie in which this citee is, which thou hast chose, and the hows which Y bildide to thi name,
Ikiwa kwamba watu wako wakaenda nje kupigana dhidi ya adui zao, kwa njia yoyote amabayo unaweza kuwatuma, na ikiwa kwamba wakaomba kwako kuelekea mji huu ambao umeuchagua, na kuelekea nyumba ambayo nimeijenga kwa ajili ya jina lako.
35 that thou here fro heuene her preieris and bisechyng, and do veniaunce.
Basi sikiliza maombi yao mbinguni, ombi lao, na uwasaidie.
36 Forsothe if thei synnen ayens thee, for no man is that synneth not, and if thou art wrooth to hem, and bitakist hem to enemyes; and enemyes leden hem prisoneris in to a fer lond, ether certis which lond is nyy;
Kama wametenda dhambi dhidi yako—kwa kuwa hakuna asiye tenda dhambi—na ikiwa una hasira nao na kuwakabidhi kwa adui zao, ili kwamba adui wakawabeba na kuwachukua kama mateka kwa ajili ya nchi zao, iwe mbali au karibu.
37 and if thei ben conuertid in her herte in the lond, to which thei ben led prisoneris, and thei don penaunce, and bisechen thee in the lond of her caitifte, and seien, We han synned, we han do wickidly, we diden vniustli;
Kisha wakatambua kuwa wako katika nchi ambako wamewekwa utumwani, na ikiwa watatubu na kutafuta msaada kwako katika utumwa wao. ikiwa watasema, 'Tumetenda kinyume na kutenda dhambi. Tumetenda kwa uovu,'
38 and if thei turnen ayen to thee in al her herte, and in al her soule, in the lond of her caitifte, to which thei ben led, thei schulen worschipe thee ayens the weie of her lond, which thou hast youe to the fadris of hem, and of the citee which thou hast chose, and of the hows which Y bildide to thi name; that thou here fro heuene,
ikiwa watarudi kwako kwa mioyo yao yote na kwa nia yao yote katika nchi ya utumwa wao, ambako walichuliwa kama mateka, na ikiwa wataomba kukabili nchi yao, uliyowapa babu zao, na kukabili mji ambao uliuchagua na kukabili nyumba ambayo niliijenga kwa ajili ya jina lako.
39 that is, fro thi stidefast dwellyng place, the preieris of hem, and that thou make dom, and foryyue to thi puple, thouy `it be synful; for thou art my God;
Basi sika kutoka mbinguni, mahali unapoishi, sikia kuomba kwao na maombi na wayaombayo, na uwasaidie shida zao. Wasamehe watu wako, ambao wamekutenda dhambi.
40 Y biseche, be thin iyen openyd, and thin eeris be ententif to the preier which is maad in this place.
Sasa, Mungu wangu, ninakusihi, uyafungue macho yako, na masikio yako yasiskie maombi yatakayofanywa katika sehemu hii.
41 Now therfor, Lord God, rise in to thi reste, thou and the arke of thi strengthe; Lord God, thi preestis be clothid with helthe, and thi hooli men be glad in goodis.
Sasa basi, amka, Yahwe Mungu, kwenye mahali pako pa kupumzikia, Wewe na sanduku la nguvu zako. Makuhani wako, Yahwe Mungu, wavikwe wokovu, na watakatifu wako wafurahi katika wema.
42 Lord God, turne thou not a weie the face of thi crist; haue thou mynde on the mercyes of Dauid thi seruaunt.
Yahwe Mungu, usiugeuze nyuma uso wa masihi wako. Yakumbuke matendo yako katika agano lako la ufalme kwa ajili ya Daudi, mtumishi wako.
