< 2 Maũndũ 6 >

1 Ningĩ Solomoni akiuga atĩrĩ, “Jehova oigĩte atĩ arĩikaraga thĩinĩ wa itu rĩrĩa itumanu.
Then said Solomon, YHWH hath said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
2 No rĩrĩ, nĩngwakĩire hekarũ kĩĩrorerwa, handũ haku ha gũtũũra nginya tene.”
But I have built an house of habitation for thee, and a place for thy dwelling for ever.
3 O hĩndĩ ĩyo, kĩũngano gĩothe gĩa Isiraeli kĩrũgamĩte hau, mũthamaki agĩkĩhũgũkĩra na agĩkĩrathima.
And the king turned his face, and blessed the whole congregation of Israel: and all the congregation of Israel stood.
4 Ningĩ akiuga atĩrĩ: “Jehova arogoocwo, o we Ngai wa Isiraeli, ũrĩa ũhingĩtie na moko make ũrĩa erĩire baba Daudi na kanua gake mwene. Nĩgũkorwo oigĩte atĩrĩ,
And he said, Blessed be YHWH Elohim of Israel, who hath with his hands fulfilled that which he spake with his mouth to my father David, saying,
5 ‘Kuuma mũthenya ũrĩa ndaarutire andũ akwa Misiri, ndirĩ ndathuura itũũra inene mũhĩrĩga-inĩ o na ũmwe wa Isiraeli atĩ nĩguo njakĩrwo hekarũ ĩtanĩtio na Rĩĩtwa rĩakwa kuo, o na kana ngaathuura mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ atuĩke wa gũtongoria andũ akwa a Isiraeli.
Since the day that I brought forth my people out of the land of Egypt I chose no city among all the tribes of Israel to build an house in, that my name might be there; neither chose I any man to be a ruler over my people Israel:
6 No rĩrĩ, nĩthuurĩte Jerusalemu nĩguo Rĩĩtwa rĩakwa rĩikarage kuo, na nĩ thuurĩte Daudi athamakĩre andũ akwa a Isiraeli.’
But I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and have chosen David to be over my people Israel.
7 “Baba Daudi nĩatuĩte na ngoro yake gwaka hekarũ ĩĩtanĩtio na Rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova, o we Ngai wa Isiraeli.
Now it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of YHWH Elohim of Israel.
8 No Jehova eerire baba Daudi atĩrĩ, ‘Tondũ nĩwaatuĩte na ngoro yaku kũnjakĩra hekarũ ĩtanĩtio na Rĩĩtwa rĩakwa-rĩ, nĩ wekire wega nĩ gwĩciiria ũguo ngoro-inĩ yaku.
But YHWH said to David my father, Forasmuch as it was in thine heart to build an house for my name, thou didst well in that it was in thine heart:
9 No rĩrĩ, wee tiwe ũgwaka hekarũ ĩyo, no nĩ mũrũguo ũrĩa uumĩte mũthiimo waku na thakame-inĩ yaku, ũcio nĩwe ũkaanjakĩra hekarũ ĩtanĩtio na Rĩĩtwa rĩakwa.’
Notwithstanding thou shalt not build the house; but thy son which shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house for my name.
10 “Jehova nĩatũũrĩtie kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa eeranĩire. Nĩnjookete ithenya rĩa baba Daudi, na rĩu nĩnjikarĩire gĩtĩ gĩa ũthamaki gĩa Isiraeli, o ta ũrĩa Jehova eeranĩire, na nĩnjakĩte hekarũ ĩrĩa ĩtanĩtio na Rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova, Ngai wa Isiraeli.
YHWH therefore hath performed his word that he hath spoken: for I am risen up in the room of David my father, and am set on the throne of Israel, as YHWH promised, and have built the house for the name of YHWH Elohim of Israel.
11 Hau nĩho njigĩte ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro rĩrĩa rĩigĩtwo kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa Jehova aarĩkanĩire na andũ a Isiraeli.”
And in it have I put the ark, wherein is the covenant of YHWH, that he made with the children of Israel.
12 Ningĩ Solomoni akĩrũgama mbere ya kĩgongona kĩa Jehova o hau mbere ya kĩũngano gĩothe gĩa Isiraeli, agĩtambũrũkia moko make.
And he stood before the altar of YHWH in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands:
13 Na rĩrĩ, Solomoni nĩathondekete rũtara rwa gĩcango rwa mĩkono ĩtano kũraiha, na mĩkono ĩtano kwarama, na mĩkono ĩtatũ kũraiha na igũrũ, na akĩrũiga gatagatĩ ka nja ĩyo. Akĩrũgama rũtara-inĩ igũrũ na agĩturia maru mbere ya kĩũngano kĩu gĩothe gĩa Isiraeli na akĩambararia moko make na igũrũ.
For Solomon had made a brasen 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 down upon his knees before all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven,
14 Nake akiuga atĩrĩ: “Wee Jehova, Ngai wa Isiraeli, gũtirĩ Ngai ũngĩ ũhaana tawe, kũu igũrũ kana gũkũ thĩ, o Wee ũhingagia kĩrĩkanĩro gĩaku kĩa wendo harĩ ndungata ciaku iria irũmagĩrĩra njĩra yaku na ngoro ciao ciothe.
And said, O YHWH Elohim of Israel, there is no Elohim like thee in the heaven, nor in the earth; which keepest covenant, and shewest mercy unto thy servants, that walk before thee with all their hearts:
15 Wee nĩũhingĩirie baba Daudi, ndungata yaku, kĩrĩkanĩro gĩaku; ũndũ ũrĩa weranĩire na kanua gaku nĩũhingĩtie na guoko gwaku, o ta ũrĩa kũhaana ũmũthĩ.
Thou which hast kept with thy servant David my father that which thou hast promised him; and spakest with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it with thine hand, as it is this day.
16 “Na rĩrĩ, Jehova, Ngai wa Isiraeli, hingĩria ndungata yaku baba, Daudi, ciĩranĩro iria wamwĩrĩire rĩrĩa woigire atĩrĩ, ‘Ndũkaaga mũndũ wa gũikarĩra gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene gĩa Isiraeli arĩ mbere yakwa, angĩkorwo ariũ aku nĩmarĩthiiaga na mĩthiĩre yagĩrĩire mbere yakwa kũringana na watho wakwa o ta ũrĩa wee ũtũire ũthiiaga.’
Now therefore, O YHWH Elohim 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; yet so that thy children take heed to their way to walk in my law, as thou hast walked before me.
17 Na rĩrĩ, Wee Jehova, Ngai wa Isiraeli, reke kiugo gĩaku kĩrĩa werĩire ndungata yaku Daudi kĩhinge.
Now then, O YHWH Elohim of Israel, let thy word be verified, which thou hast spoken unto thy servant David.
18 “No kũhoteke Ngai agĩtũũranie na andũ gũkũ thĩ? Igũrũ, o na kũũrĩa igũrũ mũno-rĩ, wee ndũngĩiganĩra kuo. Hekarũ ĩno njakĩte-rĩ, ndĩkĩrĩ nini makĩria?
But will Elohim 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!
19 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.
Have respect therefore to the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O YHWH my Elohim, to hearken unto the cry and the prayer which thy servant prayeth before thee:
20 Maitho maku maroikara marorete hekarũ ĩno mũthenya na ũtukũ, o handũ haha wee woigire atĩ nĩũgatũma Rĩĩtwa rĩaku rĩkoragwo ho. Ũroigua ihooya rĩrĩa ndungata yaku ĩrĩhooyaga ĩrorete handũ haha.
That thine eyes may be open upon this house day and night, upon the place whereof thou hast said that thou wouldest put thy name there; to hearken unto the prayer which thy servant prayeth toward this place.
21 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-rĩ, ũgatũrekera.
Hearken therefore unto the supplications of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, which they shall make toward this place: hear thou from thy dwelling place, even from heaven; and when thou hearest, forgive.
22 “Rĩrĩa mũndũ angĩhĩtĩria mũndũ wa itũũra rĩake na gũtuĩke no nginya ehĩte, nake oke ehĩtĩre hau mbere ya kĩgongona gĩaku kĩa hekarũ-inĩ ĩno-rĩ,
If a man sin against his neighbour, and an oath be laid upon him to make him swear, and the oath come before thine altar in this house;
23 hĩndĩ ĩyo ũkaigua ũrĩ o kũu igũrũ, na ũtue itua. Tuithania ndungata ciaku ciira, ũtũme ũrĩa ũhĩtĩirie ũrĩa ũngĩ acookererwo nĩ mahĩtia make marĩa ekĩte. Nake ũrĩa ũtehĩtie ũmũtue ndehĩtie na ũndũ ũcio wonanie atĩ ti mwĩhia.
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.
24 “Rĩrĩa andũ aku a Isiraeli maahootwo nĩ thũ tondũ nĩmakũhĩtĩirie nao magũcookerere na moimbũre rĩĩtwa rĩaku, mahooe magĩgũthaithaga marĩ hekarũ-inĩ ĩno-rĩ,
And if thy people Israel 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;
25 hĩndĩ ĩyo ũkaamaigua ũrĩ o kũu igũrũ na ũrekere andũ aku a Isiraeli mehia mao na ũmacookie bũrũri ũrĩa wamaheire hamwe na maithe mao.
Then hear thou from the heavens, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again unto the land which thou gavest to them and to their fathers.
26 “Rĩrĩa igũrũ rĩkaahingwo, na mbura yaage kuura tondũ wa ũrĩa andũ aku makũhĩtĩirie, mangĩkaahooya marorete handũ haha, na moimbũre rĩĩtwa rĩaku na magarũrũke matigane na mehia mao tondũ nĩũmanyamarĩtie-rĩ,
When the heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee; yet if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, when thou dost afflict them;
27 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 hear thou from heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, when thou hast taught them the good way, wherein they should walk; and send rain upon thy land, which thou hast given unto thy people for an inheritance.
28 “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 dearth in the land, if there be pestilence, if there be blasting, or mildew, locusts, or caterpillers; if their enemies besiege them in the cities of their land; whatsoever sore or whatsoever sickness there be:
29 na rĩrĩa mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ wa andũ aku a Isiraeli, angĩkaahooya kana athaithane, nĩ ũndũ wa mũndũ kũmenya mĩnyamaro ĩrĩa arĩ nayo, o na ruo, na atambũrũkie moko make amerekeirie hekarũ-inĩ ĩno,
Then what prayer or what supplication soever shall be made of any man, or of all thy people Israel, when every one shall know his own sore and his own grief, and shall spread forth his hands in this house:
30 hĩndĩ ĩyo ũkaamaigua ũrĩ o 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,
Then hear thou from heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and render unto every man according unto all his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou only knowest the hearts of the children of men: )
31 nĩgeetha matũũre magwĩtigĩrĩte, na mathiiage na mĩthiĩre yaku rĩrĩa rĩothe marĩtũũraga bũrũri-inĩ ũyũ waheire maithe maitũ.
That they may fear thee, to walk in thy ways, so long as they live in the land which thou gavest unto our fathers.
32 “Ha ũhoro wa mũndũ wa kũngĩ ũrĩa ũtarĩ wa andũ aku a Isiraeli no nĩ oimĩte bũrũri wa kũraya nĩ ũndũ wa ngumo ya rĩĩtwa rĩaku inene na ũhoro wa ciĩko cia guoko gwaku kũrĩ hinya gũtambũrũkĩtio, rĩrĩa agooka ahooe erekeire hekarũ ĩno,
Moreover concerning the stranger, which is not of thy people Israel, but is come from a far country for thy great name's sake, and thy mighty hand, and thy stretched out arm; if they come and pray in this house;
33 hĩndĩ ĩyo ũkaamũigua ũrĩ o kũu igũrũ gĩikaro-inĩ gĩaku, na mũndũ ũcio wa kũngĩ ũkaamũhingĩria o ũrĩa 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, ĩtanĩtio na Rĩĩtwa rĩaku.
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 doth thy people Israel, and may know that this house which I have built is called by thy name.
34 “Rĩrĩa andũ aku maathiĩ mbaara-inĩ kũrũa na thũ ciao o kũrĩa ũngĩmatũma, nao makũhooe merekeire itũũra rĩĩrĩ inene ũthuurĩte na hekarũ ĩno njakĩte ĩtanĩtio na Rĩĩtwa rĩaku,
If thy people go out to war against their enemies by the way that thou shalt send them, and they pray unto thee toward this city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name;
35 hĩndĩ ĩyo ũkaigua mahooya mao na gũthaithana kwao ũrĩ kũu igũrũ, na ũmatirĩrĩre ũhoro-inĩ ũcio wao.
Then hear thou from the heavens their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.
36 “Rĩrĩa makwĩhĩria, nĩgũkorwo gũtirĩ mũndũ ũtehagia, nawe ũmarakarĩre ũmaneane kũrĩ thũ, nacio imatahe ĩmatware bũrũri wa kũraya kana wa gũkuhĩ;
If they sin against thee, (for there is no man which sinneth not, ) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them over before their enemies, and they carry them away captives unto a land far off or near;
37 nao mangĩĩcookera ngoro-inĩ ciao marĩ o kũu bũrũri-inĩ ũrĩa maatahĩirwo, na merire, na magũthaithe marĩ o kũu maatahĩirwo, na moige atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩtwĩhĩtie, na nĩtwĩkĩte mahĩtia na tũgeka maũndũ ma waganu’;
Yet if they bethink themselves in the land whither they are carried captive, and turn and pray unto thee in the land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have done amiss, and have dealt wickedly;
38 no mangĩgũcookerera na ngoro ciao ciothe na muoyo wao marĩ o bũrũri-inĩ ũrĩa maatahĩirwo, na mahooe merekeire bũrũri ũrĩa waheire maithe mao, na merekeire itũũra rĩrĩa inene rĩrĩa ũthuurĩte na merekeire hekarũ ĩno njakĩte ĩtanĩtio na Rĩĩtwa rĩaku;
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 toward their land, which thou gavest unto their fathers, and toward the city which thou hast chosen, and toward the house which I have built for thy name:
39 hĩndĩ ĩyo ũrĩ o kũu igũrũ gĩikaro-inĩ gĩaku, ũkaigua ihooya rĩao na mathaithana mao na ũmatirĩrĩre ũhoro-inĩ ũcio wao. Na ũkaarekera andũ aku, o acio makwĩhĩirie.
Then hear thou from the heavens, even from thy dwelling place, their prayer and their supplications, and maintain their cause, and forgive thy people which have sinned against thee.
40 “Na rĩrĩ, Ngai wakwa, ũrohingũra maitho maku, o namo matũ maku mathikĩrĩrie mahooya marĩa marĩhooyagĩrwo handũ haha.
Now, my Elohim, let, I beseech thee, thine eyes be open, and let thine ears be attent unto the prayer that is made in this place.
41 “Rĩu gĩũkĩre, Wee Jehova Ngai, na ũũke handũ haku ha kũhurũka,
Now therefore arise, O YHWH Elohim, into thy resting place, thou, and the ark of thy strength: let thy priests, O YHWH Elohim, be clothed with salvation, and let thy saints rejoice in goodness.
42 Wee Jehova Ngai, ndũgatiganĩrie ũrĩa waku mũitĩrĩrie maguta.
O YHWH Elohim, turn not away the face of thine anointed: remember the mercies of David thy servant.
