Kronika 2 7

1 Esi Solomo wu gbedodoɖa nu la, dzo ge tso dziƒo, fia numevɔsa kple vɔsa la eye Yehowa ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe yɔ gbedoxɔ la me.

And when Solomon had finished praying, then the fire came down from heaven, and devoured the whole-burnt-offerings and the sacrifices; and the glory of the Lord filled the house.

2 Nunɔlaawo mete ŋu ge ɖe Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la me o elabena Yehowa ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe yɔe fũu.

And the priests could not enter into the house of the Lord at that time, for the glory of the Lord filled the house.

3 Israel blibo la kpɔ nu sia teƒe eye wotsyɔ mo anyi, kafu Yehowa eye woda akpe nɛ hedo ɣli bena, “Eƒe dɔme nyo eye eƒe amenuveve li tegbee!”

And all the children of Israel saw the fire descending, and the glory of the Lord was upon the house: and they fell upon their face to the ground on the pavement, and worshipped, and praised the Lord; for [it is] good [to do so], because his mercy [endures] for ever.

4 Fia la kple ameawo katã sa vɔwo le Yehowa ŋkume

And the king and all the people [were] offering sacrifices before the Lord.

5 eye Fia Solomo sa vɔ kple nyi akpe blaeve-vɔ-eve kple ale kple gbɔ̃ akpe alafa ɖeka blaeve. Ale fia la kple ameawo katã kɔ Mawu ƒe gbedoxɔ la ŋu.

And king Solomon offered a sacrifice of calves twenty and two thousand, of sheep a hundred and twenty thousand: so the king and all the people dedicated the house of God.

6 Nunɔlawo nɔ tsitre ɖe woƒe dɔwɔƒewo le esime Levitɔwo nɔ woƒe akpedahawo dzim be, “Eƒe amenuveve li tegbee” kpe ɖe haƒonu siwo Fia David ŋutɔ wɔ eye wòna wowɔa wo ŋu dɔ hena Yehowa kafukafu ŋuti. Esi nunɔlaawo ku kpẽawo la, Israel ƒe ameha blibo la tsi tsitre.

And the priests were standing at their watches, and the Levites with instruments of music of the Lord, belonging to king David, to give thanks before the Lord, for his mercy [endures] for ever, with the hymns of David, by their ministry: and the priests were blowing the trumpets before them, and all Israel standing.

7 Solomo kɔ xɔxɔnu emetɔ si le Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ ŋgɔ la ŋuti eye le afi ma wòsa numevɔ, nuɖuvɔ kple akpedavɔ ƒe amiwo le elabena akɔblivɔsamlekpui si wòwɔ la le sue akpa na numevɔ, nuɖuvɔ kple amiawo.

And Solomon consecrated the middle of the court that was in the house of the Lord: for he offered there the whole-burnt-offerings and the fat of the peace-offerings, for the brazen altar which Solomon had made was not sufficient to receive the whole-burnt-offerings, and the meat-offerings, and the fat.

8 Azɔ la, Solomo ɖu ŋkekenyui le ɣe ma ɣi me eye Israel katã ɖui kplii. Ameha gã aɖe ŋutɔe wònye, ameawo tso Lebo Hamat va se ɖe Egipte tɔʋu la gbɔ ke.

And Solomon kept the feast at that time seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great assembly, from the entering in of Aemath, and as far as the river of Egypt.

9 Wode ŋkekenyui sia ƒe akpedasɔleme mamlɛtɔ le ŋkeke enyia gbe.

And on the eighth day he kept a solemn assembly: for he kept a feast of seven days as the dedication of the altar.

10 Fia Solomo ɖo ameawo ɖe aƒe le ɣleti adrelia ƒe ŋkeke blaeve-vɔ-etɔ̃lia gbe. Ameawo kpɔ dzidzɔ ŋutɔ le ale si Yehowa ve David kple Solomo kpakple eƒe dukɔ, Israel nu la ta.

And on the twenty-third day of the seventh month he dismissed the people to their tents, rejoicing, and with a glad heart because of the good deeds which the Lord had done to David, and to Solomon, and to Israel his people.

11 Esi Solomo wu Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ kple fiasã la tutu kple nu siwo katã wòɖo ɖe ta me be yeawɔ ɖe Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la me kple eya ŋutɔ ƒe fiasã me nu la,

So Solomon finished the house of the Lord, and the king's house: and in whatever Solomon wished in his heart to do in the house of the Lord and in his own house, he prospered.

12 Yehowa ɖe eɖokui fiae le zã me eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “Mese wò gbedodoɖa eye metia teƒe sia na ɖokuinye be wòanye gbedoxɔ na vɔsawo.

And the Lord appeared to Solomon by night, and said to him, I have heard thy prayer, and I have chosen this place to myself for a house of sacrifice.

13 “Ne metu dziƒowo nu ale be tsi megale dzadzam o alo meɖe gbe na ʋetsuviwo be woaɖu nu siwo le anyigba dzi alo medɔ dɔvɔ̃ ɖe dukɔ la dome la,

If I should restrain the heaven and there should be no rain, and if I should command the locust to devour the trees, and if I should send pestilence upon my people;

14 ekema ne nye dukɔ, ame siwo ŋuti woyɔ nye ŋkɔ ɖo abɔbɔ wo ɖokui, ado gbe ɖa, adi nye ŋkume eye woaɖe asi le woƒe mɔ vɔ̃wo ŋu la, mase woƒe gbedodoɖa le dziƒo, matsɔ woƒe nu vɔ̃wo ake wo eye mayɔ dɔ woƒe anyigba.

then if my people, on whom my name is called, should repent, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their evil ways, I also will hear from heaven, and I will be merciful to their sins, and I will heal their land.

15 Azɔ la, nye ŋkuwo anɔ ʋuʋu eye nye towo anɔ te ɖe gbe ɖe sia ɖe si woado ɖa le teƒe sia ŋuti.

And now my eyes shall be open, and my ears attentive to the prayer of this place.

16 Metia eye mekɔ gbedoxɔ sia ŋuti ale be nye ŋkɔ anɔ afi ma tegbetegbee. Nye ŋkuwo kple nye dzi anɔ afi ma ɣe sia ɣi.

And now I have chosen and sanctified this house, that my name should be there for ever: and my eyes and my heart shall be there always.

17 “Ke wò la, ne àzɔ le ŋkunye me, aɖi anukware abe fofowò, David ene eye nàwɔ nye seawo dzi, alé nye ɖoɖowo kple kɔnuwo me ɖe asi la,

And if thou wilt walk before me as David thy father [did], and wilt do according to all that I have commanded thee, and wilt keep my ordinances and my judgments;

18 ekema makpɔ egbɔ be, wò fiaɖuƒe nali ke abe ale si medo ŋugbe na fofowò David ene hegblɔ nɛ be, ‘Wò ame siwo aɖu fia ɖe Israel dzi la matso o.’

then will I establish the throne of thy kingdom, as I covenanted with David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man ruling in Israel.

19 “Ke ne mènɔ yonyeme o, ne ègbe se siwo mena mi dzi la wɔwɔ eye miesubɔ mawu bubuwo hede ta agu na wo la,

But if ye should turn away, and forsake my ordinances and my commandments, which I have set before you, and go and serve other gods, and worship them;

20 mate nye amewo le nye anyigba si metsɔ na wo la dzi eye maɖe gbedoxɔ sia togbɔ be mekɔ eŋuti na ɖokuinye hã. Mana wòazu hamelo kple alɔmeɖenu le dukɔwo katã dome.

then will I remove you from the land which I gave them; and this house which I have consecrated to my name I will remove out of my sight, and I will make it a proverb and a by-word among all nations.

21 Gbedoxɔ sia azu xɔ gbagbã si ƒe xɔtunuwo woali kɔe ɖi eye ame sia ame si ava tso eme yina la ƒe nu aku, eye wòabia be, ‘Nu ka ta Yehowa wɔ nu siawo ɖe anyigba sia kple gbedoxɔ sia ŋu?’

And [as for] this lofty house, every one that passes by it shall be amazed, and shall say, Wherefore has the Lord done [thus] to this land, and to this house?

22 Woaɖo eŋu be, ‘Elabena ameawo ɖe asi le Yehowa, wo fofowo ƒe Mawu, ame si kplɔ wo do goe le Egiptenyigba dzi la ŋu eye wosubɔ mawu bubuwo eya tae wòhe dzɔgbevɔ̃e sia va wo dzi ɖo!’”

And [men] shall say, Because they forsook the Lord God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and they attached themselves to other gods, and worshipped them, and served them: and therefore he has brought upon them all this evil.
