1 Athamaki 8
1 Ningĩ Mũthamaki Solomoni agĩĩta athuuri a Isiraeli, na atongoria othe a mĩhĩrĩga, na anene a nyũmba cia andũ a Isiraeli moke kũrĩ we Jerusalemu, nĩguo maambatie ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa Jehova kuuma Zayuni, Itũũra rĩrĩa inene rĩa Daudi.
Then did Solomon assemble the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the divisions of the children of Israel, unto king Solomon in Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of the city of David, which is Zion.
2 Nao andũ othe a Isiraeli magĩũka hamwe kũrĩ Mũthamaki Solomoni hĩndĩ ya gĩathĩ kĩa mweri wa Ethanimu, nĩguo mweri wa mũgwanja.
And all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto king Solomon at the feast in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month.
3 Rĩrĩa athuuri othe a Isiraeli maakinyire-rĩ, athĩnjĩri-Ngai makĩoya ithandũkũ rĩu,
And all the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark.
4 nao makĩambatia ithandũkũ rĩa Jehova hamwe na Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo, na indo ciothe iria nyamũre ciarĩ thĩinĩ wayo. Nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai na Alawii magĩciambatia,
And they brought up the ark of the Lord, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle: even these did the priests and the Levites bring up.
5 nake Mũthamaki Solomoni na kĩũngano gĩothe gĩa Isiraeli kĩrĩa gĩacemanĩtie harĩ we kĩrĩ mbere ya ithandũkũ rĩu, gĩkĩruta igongona rĩa ngʼondu nyingĩ na ngʼombe nyingĩ mũno, ũũ atĩ itingĩandĩkirwo mũigana wacio kana itarĩke.
And king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel, that were assembled unto him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could not be told nor numbered for multitude.
6 Nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai magĩcooka makĩrehe ithandũkũ rĩu rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa Jehova handũ harĩo thĩinĩ wa hekarũ, Handũ-harĩa-Hatheru-Mũno, makĩrĩiga rungu rwa mathagu ma makerubi.
And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the Lord unto its place, into the debir of the house, into the most holy place, under the wings of the cherubim.
7 Makerubi macio maatambũrũkĩtie mathagu mamo igũrũ rĩa harĩa haigĩtwo ithandũkũ rĩu, na makahumbĩra ithandũkũ, o na mĩtĩ yarĩo ya kũrĩkuua.
For the cherubim spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and its staves from above.
8 Mĩtĩ ĩyo yarĩ mĩraihu mũno, ũndũ mĩthia yayo yoonagwo nĩ mũndũ arĩ mbere ya Handũ-harĩa-Hatheru, no ndĩonekaga nĩ mũndũ arĩ nja ya Handũ-harĩa-Hatheru; na ĩrĩ o ho nginya ũmũthĩ.
And they had made the staves so long, that the ends of the staves were seen out in the holy place in the front of the debir, but they were not seen without; and they have remained there until this day.
9 Thĩinĩ wa ithandũkũ rĩu gũtiarĩ na kĩndũ kĩngĩ tiga o ihengere iria igĩrĩ cia mahiga iria Musa aigĩte ho rĩrĩa aarĩ Horebu, kũrĩa Jehova aarĩkanĩire kĩrĩkanĩro na andũ a Isiraeli maarĩkia kuuma bũrũri wa Misiri.
There was nothing in the ark save the two tables of stone, which Moses had placed therein at Horeb, where the Lord made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.
10 Rĩrĩa athĩnjĩri-Ngai meeherire makiuma Handũ-harĩa-Hatheru, itu rĩkĩiyũra hekarũ ya Jehova.
And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the Lord:
11 Nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai matingĩahotire kũruta wĩra wao nĩ ũndũ wa itu rĩu, nĩgũkorwo riiri wa Jehova nĩwaiyũrĩte hekarũ yake.
And the priests were not able to stand to minister because of the cloud; for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of the Lord.
12 Ningĩ Solomoni akiuga atĩrĩ, “Jehova oigĩte atĩ nĩarĩikaraga thĩinĩ wa itu rĩrĩa itumanu;
Then said Solomon, The Lord said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
13 no rĩrĩ, ti-itherũ nĩngwakĩire hekarũ kĩĩrorerwa, handũ haku ha gũtũũra nginya tene.”
I have indeed built a dwelling-house for thee, a settled place for thy abode for ever.
14 O hĩndĩ ĩyo kĩũngano gĩothe gĩa Isiraeli kĩrũgamĩte o hau, mũthamaki agĩkĩhũgũkĩra, agĩkĩrathima.
And the king turned his face about, and blessed all the congregation of Israel; and all the congregation of Israel was standing;
15 Ningĩ akiuga atĩrĩ: “Jehova arogoocwo, o we Ngai wa Isiraeli, ũrĩa ũhingĩtie na guoko gwake mwene ũrĩa eerĩire baba, Daudi, na kanua gake mwene. Nĩgũkorwo oigire atĩrĩ,
And he said, Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth unto David my father, and hath with his hand fulfilled it, when he said,
16 ‘Kuuma mũthenya ũrĩa ndaarutire andũ akwa a Isiraeli kuuma Misiri, ndirĩ ndathuura itũũra inene thĩinĩ wa mũhĩrĩga o na ũmwe wa Isiraeli, atĩ nĩguo njakĩrwo hekarũ ĩĩtanĩtio na Rĩĩtwa rĩakwa kuo, no nĩndathuurire Daudi athamakĩre andũ akwa Isiraeli.’
Since the day that I brought forth my people Israel out of Egypt, I did not make choice of any city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house, that my name might be therein; but I made choice of David to be over my people Israel.
17 “Baba Daudi nĩatuĩte na ngoro yake gwaka hekarũ ĩĩtanĩtio na Rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova, o we Ngai wa Isiraeli.
And it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.
18 No Jehova eerire baba, Daudi, atĩrĩ, ‘Tondũ nĩwatuĩte na ngoro yaku kũnjakĩra hekarũ ĩĩtanĩtio na Rĩĩtwa rĩakwa-rĩ, nĩ wekire wega nĩ gwĩciiria ũguo ngoro-inĩ yaku.
But the Lord said unto David my father, Whereas it was in thy heart to build a house unto my name, thou didst well that it was in thy heart:
19 No rĩrĩ, wee tiwe ũgwaka hekarũ ĩyo, no nĩ mũrũguo, ũrĩa uumĩte mũthiimo-inĩ waku na thakame-inĩ yaku, ũcio nĩwe ũgaaka hekarũ ĩĩtanĩtio na Rĩĩtwa rĩakwa.’
Nevertheless, thou shalt not thyself build the house; but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house unto my name.
20 “Jehova nĩatũũrĩtie kĩrĩkanĩro kĩu, na rĩu nĩnjookete ithenya rĩa baba Daudi, na ngaikarĩra gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene gĩa Isiraeli, o ta ũrĩa Jehova eeranĩire, na nĩnjakĩte hekarũ ĩrĩa ĩtanĩtio na Rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova Ngai wa Isiraeli.
And the Lord hath fulfilled his word that he hath spoken: and I am risen up in the room of David my father, and I sit on the throne of Israel, as the Lord hath spoken, and I have built the house for the name of the Lord the God of Israel.
21 Hau nĩho thondekete handũ ha kũiga ithandũkũ rĩrĩa rĩ na kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa Jehova aarĩkanĩire na maithe maitũ, rĩrĩa aamarutire bũrũri wa Misiri.”
And I have assigned there a place for the ark, wherein is the covenant of the Lord, which he made with our fathers, when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt.
22 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Solomoni akĩrũgama mbere ya kĩgongona kĩa Jehova, o hau mbere ya kĩũngano gĩothe kĩa Isiraeli, agĩtambũrũkia moko make na igũrũ,
And Solomon now placed himself before the altar of the Lord in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven;
23 akiuga atĩrĩ: “Wee Jehova, Ngai wa Isiraeli, gũtirĩ Ngai ũngĩ ũhaana tawe kũu igũrũ kana gũkũ thĩ, o wee ũhingagia kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa wendo harĩ ndungata ciaku iria irũmagĩrĩra njĩra yaku na ngoro ciacio ciothe.
And he said, O Lord, the God of Israel, there is no god like thee, in the heavens above, and on the earth beneath, thou who keepest the covenant and the kindness for thy servants that walk before thee with all their heart;
24 Wee nĩũhingĩirie baba, Daudi ndungata yaku kĩrĩkanĩro gĩaku; ũndũ ũrĩa weranĩire na kanua gaku nĩũhingĩtie na guoko gwaku, o ta ũrĩa kũhaana ũmũthĩ.
Who hast kept for thy servant David my father what thou hadst promised him; and thou spokest with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it with thy hand, as it is this day.
25 “Na rĩrĩ, Jehova, Ngai wa Isiraeli, hingĩria baba, Daudi ndungata yaku ciĩranĩro iria wamwĩrĩire rĩrĩa woigire atĩrĩ, ‘Ndũkaaga mũndũ wa gũikarĩra gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene kĩa Isiraeli arĩ mbere yakwa, angĩkorwo ariũ aku nĩmarĩthiiaga na mĩthiĩre yagĩrĩire mbere yakwa, o ta ũrĩa wee ũtũire ũthiiaga mbere yakwa.’
And now, O Lord, the God of Israel, keep for thy servant David my father what thou hast spoken concerning him, saying, There shall never fail thee a man in my sight who sitteth on the throne of Israel; if thy children but take heed to their way to walk before me, as thou hast walked before me.
26 Na rĩrĩ, Wee Ngai wa Isiraeli, reke kiugo gĩaku kĩrĩa werĩire baba, Daudi ndungata yaku, kĩhinge.
And now, O God of Israel, I pray thee, let thy word be verified, which thou hast spoken unto thy servant David my father.
27 “No kũhoteke Ngai atũũre gũkũ thĩ? Igũrũ, o na kũrĩa igũrũ mũno-rĩ, wee ndũngĩiganĩra kuo. Hekarũ ĩno njakĩte-rĩ, githĩ ndĩkĩrĩ nini makĩria!
For in truth will God then dwell on the earth? behold, the heavens and the heavens of heavens cannot contain thee: how much less then this house that I have built!
28 No o na kũrĩ ũguo-rĩ, thikĩrĩria ihooya rĩa ndungata yaku, ĩgĩthaithana ĩiguĩrwo tha, Wee Jehova Ngai wakwa. Igua gũkaya na ihooya rĩrĩa ndungata yaku ĩrakũhooya ĩrĩ mbere yaku ũmũthĩ.
Yet wilt thou turn thy regard unto the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O Lord my God, to listen unto the entreaty and unto the prayer, which thy servant prayeth before thee today;
29 Maitho maku maroikara marorete hekarũ ĩno ũtukũ na mũthenya, o handũ haha wee woigire atĩrĩ, ‘Rĩĩtwa rĩakwa rĩrĩkoragwo ho,’ nĩgeetha ũiguage ihooya rĩrĩa ndungata yaku ĩrĩhooyaga ĩrorete handũ haha.
That thy eyes may be open toward this house night and day, toward the place of which thou hast said, My name shall be there; that thou mayest listen unto the prayer which thy servant shall pray at this place.
30 Igua gũthaithana kwa ndungata yaku na kwa andũ aku a Isiraeli rĩrĩa mekũhooya marorete handũ haha. Ũigue ũrĩ kũu igũrũ, o kũu gĩikaro gĩaku, na watũigua ũgatũrekera.
And listen thou to the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, which they will pray at this place: and oh, do thou hear in heaven thy dwelling-place; and hear, and forgive.
31 “Rĩrĩa mũndũ angĩhĩtĩria mũndũ wa itũũra rĩake na gũtuĩke no nginya ehĩte, nake oke ehĩtĩre hau mbere ya kĩgongona gĩaku hekarũ-inĩ ĩno-rĩ,
If any man trespass against his neighbor, and an oath be laid upon him to cause him to swear, and the oath come before thy altar in this house:
32 hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩ ũkaigua ũrĩ kũu igũrũ na ũtue itua. Ũtuithanie ndungata ciaku ciira, ũrĩa mũhĩtia atuĩrwo ciira na acookererwo nĩ mahĩtia make marĩa ekĩte. Nake ũrĩa ũtehĩtie ũmũtue ndehĩtie, na nĩ ũndũ ũcio wonanie atĩ ti mwĩhia.
Then do thou hear in heaven, and act, and judge thy servants, by condemning the wicked, to bring his way upon his head; and by justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.
33 “Rĩrĩa andũ aku a Isiraeli mahootwo nĩ thũ nĩ ũndũ nĩmakũhĩtĩirie, nao magũcookerere na moimbũre rĩĩtwa rĩaku, na mahooe magĩgũthaithaga marĩ hekarũ-inĩ ĩno-rĩ,
When thy people Israel are struck down before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee, and they return then to thee, and confess thy name, and pray, and make supplication unto thee in this house:
34 hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩũkamaigua ũrĩ kũu igũrũ, na ũrekere andũ aku a Isiraeli mehia mao na ũmacookie bũrũri ũrĩa waheire maithe mao.
Then do thou hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and cause them to return unto the land which thou hast given unto their fathers.
35 “Rĩrĩa igũrũ rĩkaahingwo na mbura yage kuura tondũ wa ũrĩa andũ aku makũhĩtĩirie-rĩ, mangĩkaahooya marorete handũ haha na moimbũre rĩĩtwa rĩaku, na magarũrũke matigane na mehia mao, tondũ nĩũmanyamarĩtie-rĩ,
When the heavens be shut up, and there be no rain, because they have sinned against thee, and they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, because thou hast afflicted them:
36 hĩndĩ ĩyo ũkaamaigua ũrĩ o kũu igũrũ, na ũrekere ndungata ciaku, andũ aku a Isiraeli, mehia mao. Marute mũtũũrĩre ũrĩa mwagĩrĩru, na ũmoirĩrie mbura bũrũri-inĩ ũcio waheire andũ aku ũtuĩke igai rĩao.
Then do thou hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel; for thou wilt teach them the good way wherein they should walk; and give then rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy people for an inheritance.
37 “Kũngĩkaagĩa ngʼaragu kana mũthiro bũrũri-inĩ, kana mĩgũnda ĩhĩe nĩ mbaa kana mbuu, kana gũũke ngigĩ kana ngũnga, kana thũ imarigiicĩrie itũũra-inĩ rĩmwe rĩao, na mwanangĩko o na ũrĩkũ kana mũrimũ ũngĩgooka-rĩ,
If there be a famine in the land, if there be pestilence, blasting, mildew, or if there be locust, caterpillar, if their enemy besiege them in the land of their gates; at whatsoever plague, whatsoever sickness;
38 na rĩrĩa mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ wa andũ aku a Isiraeli angĩkaahooya kana athaithane, o mũndũ aamenya mĩnyamaro ĩrĩa arĩ nayo ngoro-inĩ yake, na atambũrũkie moko make amerekeirie hekarũ-inĩ ĩno-rĩ,
What prayer and supplication soever be made by any man, of all thy people Israel, when they shall be conscious every man of the plague of his own heart, and he then spread forth his hands toward this house:
39 hĩndĩ ĩyo ũkaigua ũrĩ kũu igũrũ gĩikaro-inĩ gĩaku, ũmarekere, na ũtuĩre o mũndũ itua kũringana na ũrĩa wothe ekĩte, tondũ we nĩũĩ ngoro yake, (nĩgũkorwo nowe wiki ũũĩ ngoro cia andũ othe),
Then do thou hear in heaven the place of thy dwelling, and forgive, and act, and give to every man in accordance with all his ways, as thou mayest know his heart; for thou, thyself alone, knowest the heart of all the children of men;
40 nĩgeetha matũũre magwĩtigĩrĩte matukũ mothe marĩa megũtũũra bũrũri ũrĩa waheire maithe maitũ.
In order that they may fear thee all the days that they live on the face of the land which thou hast given unto our fathers.
41 “Ha ũhoro wa mũndũ wa kũngĩ ũrĩa ũtarĩ wa andũ aku a Isiraeli, no nĩoimĩte bũrũri wa kũraya nĩ ũndũ wa Rĩĩtwa rĩaku,
But also to the stranger, who is not of thy people Israel, but cometh out of a far-off country for the sake of thy name;
42 tondũ andũ nĩmakaigua ngumo ya Rĩĩtwa rĩaku inene, na ũhoro wa ciĩko cia guoko gwaku kũrĩ hinya gũtambũrũkĩtio, rĩrĩa agooka ahooe erekeire hekarũ ĩno,
For they will hear of thy great name, and of thy strong hand, and of thy outstretched arm; when he will come and pray at this house:
43 hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩũkamaigua ũrĩ o kũu igũrũ, gĩikaro-inĩ gĩaku, na mũndũ ũcio wa kũngĩ ũkamũhingĩria ũrĩa wothe agakũhooya, nĩgeetha andũ othe a thĩ mamenye rĩĩtwa rĩaku na magwĩtigĩre o ta ũrĩa andũ aku a Isiraeli magwĩtigĩrĩte, na mamenye atĩ nyũmba ĩno njakĩte ĩĩtanĩtio na Rĩĩtwa rĩaku.
Mayest thou listen in heaven the place of thy dwelling, and do according to all that the stranger will call on thee for; in order that all the nations of the earth may know thy name, to fear thee, as [do] thy people Israel; and that they may understand that this house, which I have built, is called by thy name.
44 “Rĩrĩa andũ aku maathiĩ mbaara-inĩ kũrũa na thũ ciao, o kũrĩa ũngĩmatũma, nao mahooe Jehova merekeire itũũra rĩĩrĩ inene ũthuurĩte na hekarũ ĩno njakĩte ĩĩtanĩtio na Rĩĩtwa rĩaku,
If thy people go out to battle against their enemy, on the way on which thou mayest send them, and they do pray unto the Lord in the direction of the city which thou hast chosen, and of the house that I have built for thy name:
45 hĩndĩ ĩyo ũkaigua mahooya na gũthaithana kwao ũrĩ kũu igũrũ na ũmatirĩrĩre ũhoro-inĩ ũcio wao.
Then hear thou in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and procure them justice.
46 “Rĩrĩa makwĩhĩria, nĩgũkorwo gũtirĩ mũndũ ũtehagia, nawe ũmarakarĩre ũmaneane kũrĩ thũ, nacio imatahe imatware bũrũri wacio, ũrĩ kũraya kana ũrĩ gũkuhĩ;
If they sin against thee, [for there is no man that may not sin, ] and thou be angry with them, and give them up before the enemy, so that their captors carry them away captive unto the land of the enemy, [be it] far or near;
47 nao mangĩĩcookera ngoro-inĩ ciao marĩ o kũu bũrũri ũrĩa maatahĩirwo, na merire, na magũthaithe marĩ o kũu bũrũri wa acio mamatooretie, na moige atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩtwĩhĩtie, na nĩtwĩkĩte mahĩtia, na tũgeka maũndũ ma waganu’;
And if they then take it to their heart in the land whither they have been carried captive, and repent, and make supplication unto thee in the land of their captors, saying, We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, we have acted wickedly;
48 na mangĩgagũcookerera na ngoro ciao ciothe, na mĩoyo yao, marĩ bũrũri wa thũ ciao iria ciamatahire, nao mahooe merekeire bũrũri ũrĩa waheire maithe mao, na merekeire itũũra rĩrĩa inene rĩrĩa ũthuurĩte na hekarũ ĩno njakĩte ĩĩtanĩtio na Rĩĩtwa rĩaku-rĩ;
And they return unto thee with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their enemies, who have led them away captive, and they pray unto thee in the direction of their land, which thou hast given unto their fathers, of the city which thou hast chosen, and of the house which I have built for thy name:
49 hĩndĩ ĩyo ũrĩ o kũu igũrũ, gĩikaro-inĩ gĩaku, ũkaigua ihooya rĩao na mathaithana mao, na ũmatirĩrĩre ũhoro-inĩ ũcio wao.
Then hear thou in heaven the place of thy dwelling their prayer and their supplication, and procure them justice;
50 Na ũkarekera andũ aku, o acio makwĩhĩtie; ũmarekere mahĩtia marĩa mothe magwĩkĩte, na ũtũme acio mamatooretie mamaiguĩre tha;
And forgive thy people for what they have sinned against thee, and all their transgressions whereby they have transgressed against thee, and cause them to find mercy before their captors, that they may have mercy on them;
51 tondũ nĩ andũ aku na igai rĩaku, o andũ arĩa warutire bũrũri wa Misiri, ũkĩmaruta kuuma mwaki-inĩ ũcio mũhiũ wa gũtwekia kĩgera.
For they are thy people, and thy heritage, whom thou hast brought forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the iron furnace;
52 “Ũrohingũra maitho maku na ũigue mathaithana ma ndungata yaku na ma andũ aku a Isiraeli, ningĩ wĩtĩkĩre kũmathikagĩrĩria rĩrĩa rĩothe maagũkaĩra.
That thy eyes may be open unto the supplication of thy servant, and unto the supplication of thy people Israel, to listen unto them in all for which they call unto thee;
53 Nĩgũkorwo nĩwe wamathuurire kuuma thĩinĩ wa ndũrĩrĩ ciothe cia thĩ matuĩke igai rĩaku kĩũmbe, o ta ũrĩa woimbũrire na kanua ka ndungata yaku Musa, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa wee, Mwathani Jehova, warutire maithe maitũ kuuma bũrũri wa Misiri.”
For thou hast separated them unto thee as a heritage from all the people of the earth, as thou spokest by the hand of Moses thy servant, when thou broughtest forth our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord Eternal.
54 Rĩrĩa Solomoni aarĩkirie mahooya macio mothe na gũthaitha Jehova-rĩ, agĩũkĩra, akĩehera mbere ya kĩgongona kĩa Jehova, harĩa aaturĩtie ndu aambararĩtie moko make na igũrũ.
And it happened, that, when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication unto the Lord, he arose from before the altar of the Lord from kneeling on his knees, with his hands spread out toward heaven.
55 Akĩrũgama na akĩrathima kĩũngano gĩothe gĩa Isiraeli na mũgambo mũnene, akiuga atĩrĩ:
And he stood up, and blessed all the congregation of Israel with a loud voice, saying,
56 “Jehova arogoocwo, ũrĩa ũheete andũ ake a Isiraeli ũhurũko o ta ũrĩa eranĩire. Gũtirĩ kiugo o na kĩmwe gĩa ciĩranĩro ciothe iria njega iria eeranĩire na kanua ka ndungata yake Musa gĩtahingĩte.
Blessed be the Lord, who hath given rest unto his people Israel, in accordance with all that he hath spoken: [so that] there hath not failed one word of all his good promise, which he spoke by the hand of Moses his servant.
57 Jehova Ngai witũ aroikara hamwe na ithuĩ o ta ũrĩa aarĩ hamwe na maithe maitũ; aroaga gũtũtiganĩria o na kana gũtũtirika.
The Lord our God be with us, as he was with our fathers; oh may he not leave us, nor forsake us;
58 Arotũma ngoro ciitũ imũcookerere, tũthiiage na njĩra ciake ciothe, na tũmenyagĩrĩre maathani make, na kĩrĩra kĩa watho wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo, na mawatho make marĩa aaheire maithe maitũ.
That he may incline our heart unto him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and his statutes, and his ordinances, which he commanded our fathers.
59 Na rĩrĩ, ciugo ici ciakwa, iria hooete ndĩ mbere ya Jehova, irokuhĩrĩria Jehova Ngai witũ mũthenya na ũtukũ, nĩguo atiiragĩrĩre maũndũ ma ndungata yake na andũ ake a Isiraeli, kũringana na mabataro ma o mũthenya,
And may these my words, wherewith I have made supplication before the Lord, be nigh unto the Lord our God day and night, that he may maintain the cause of his servant, and the cause of his people Israel in their daily requirements;
60 nĩgeetha andũ othe a thĩ mamenye atĩ Jehova nĩwe Ngai, na gũtirĩ ũngĩ take.
In order that all the nations of the earth may know that the Lord is the [true] God, and none else.
61 No ngoro cianyu no nginya ciĩheane biũ kũrĩ Jehova Ngai witũ, mũtũũrage kũringana na kĩrĩra kĩa watho wake wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo, na gwathĩkĩra maathani make, ta ũrĩa kũrĩ rĩu.”
Let your heart therefore be entire with the Lord our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day.
62 Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũthamaki na andũ othe a Isiraeli makĩruta magongona hau mbere ya Jehova.
And the king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifices before the Lord.
63 Solomoni nĩarutĩire Jehova igongona rĩa ũiguano ta ũũ: ngʼombe ngiri mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na igĩrĩ, na ngʼondu na mbũri ngiri igana rĩa mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki na andũ a Isiraeli othe makĩamũra hekarũ ya Jehova.
And Solomon offered [as] the sacrifice of peace-offering which he offered unto the Lord, two and twenty thousand oxen, and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep. And thus did the king and all the children of Israel dedicate the house of the Lord.
64 Mũthenya o ro ũcio mũthamaki nĩamũrire gĩcigo gĩa gatagatĩ kĩa nja ĩrĩa ĩrĩ mbere ya hekarũ ya Jehova, na akĩrutĩra igongona rĩa njino ho, na rĩa mũtu na rĩa maguta ma igongona rĩa ũiguano, tondũ kĩgongona gĩa gĩcango kĩrĩa kĩarĩ mbere ya Jehova gĩtingĩaiganĩire magongona ma njino, na magongona ma mũtu na maguta ma magongona ma ũiguano.
On the same day did the king hallow the interior of the court that was before the house of the Lord; for he prepared there the burnt-offerings, and the meat-offerings, and the fat of the peace-offerings; because the copper altar that was before the Lord was too small to contain the burnt-offerings, and the meat-offerings, and the fat of the peace-offerings.
