2 Maũndũ 6

1 Ningĩ Solomoni akiuga atĩrĩ, “Jehova oigĩte atĩ arĩikaraga thĩinĩ wa itu rĩrĩa itumanu.

Then Solomon said, “YHWH said [He would] dwell in thick darkness,

2 No rĩrĩ, nĩngwakĩire hekarũ kĩĩrorerwa, handũ haku ha gũtũũra nginya tene.”

and I have built a house of habitation for You, and a fixed place for Your dwelling for all ages.”

3 O hĩndĩ ĩyo, kĩũngano gĩothe gĩa Isiraeli kĩrũgamĩte hau, mũthamaki agĩkĩhũgũkĩra na agĩkĩrathima.

And the king turns around his face, and blesses the whole assembly of Israel, and the whole assembly of Israel is standing,

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 says, “Blessed [is] YHWH, God of Israel, who has spoken with His mouth with my father David, and with His hands has fulfilled [it], 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.

From the day that I brought out My people from the land of Egypt, I have not fixed on a city out of any of the tribes of Israel to build a house for my name being there, and I have not fixed on a man to be leader over My people Israel;

6 No rĩrĩ, nĩthuurĩte Jerusalemu nĩguo Rĩĩtwa rĩakwa rĩikarage kuo, na nĩ thuurĩte Daudi athamakĩre andũ akwa a Isiraeli.’

and I fix on Jerusalem for My Name being there, and I fix on 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.

And it is with the heart of my father David to build a house for the Name of YHWH God 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.

and YHWH says to my father David, Because that it has been with your heart to build a house for My Name, you have done well that it has been with your 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.’

but you do not build the house, for your son who comes forth out from your loins, he builds 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.

And YHWH establishes His word that He spoke, and I rise up in the stead of my father David, and sit on the throne of Israel, as YHWH spoke, and I build the house for the Name of YHWH, God of Israel,

11 Hau nĩho njigĩte ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro rĩrĩa rĩigĩtwo kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa Jehova aarĩkanĩire na andũ a Isiraeli.”

and I place the Ark there, where the covenant of YHWH [is] that He made with the sons of Israel.”

12 Ningĩ Solomoni akĩrũgama mbere ya kĩgongona kĩa Jehova o hau mbere ya kĩũngano gĩothe gĩa Isiraeli, agĩtambũrũkia moko make.

And he stands before the altar of YHWH, in front of all the assembly of Israel, and spreads out his hand—

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 has made a scaffold of bronze, and puts it in the midst of the court, five cubits its length, and five cubits its breadth, and three cubits its height, and he stands on it, and kneels on his knees in front of all the assembly of Israel, and spreads forth his hands toward the heavens—

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 says, “O YHWH God of Israel, there is not like You a god in the heavens and in the earth, keeping the covenant and the kindness for Your servants who are walking before You with all their heart;

15 Wee nĩũhingĩirie baba Daudi, ndungata yaku, kĩrĩkanĩro gĩaku; ũndũ ũrĩa weranĩire na kanua gaku nĩũhingĩtie na guoko gwaku, o ta ũrĩa kũhaana ũmũthĩ.

who has kept for Your servant, my father David, that which You spoke to him; indeed, You speak with Your mouth, and with Your hand have fulfilled [it], as at 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.’

And now, O YHWH, God of Israel, keep for Your servant, my father David, that which You spoke to him, saying, A man of yours is never cut off from before My face, sitting on the throne of Israel—only, if your sons watch their way to walk in My law, as you have walked before Me.

17 Na rĩrĩ, Wee Jehova, Ngai wa Isiraeli, reke kiugo gĩaku kĩrĩa werĩire ndungata yaku Daudi kĩhinge.

And now, O YHWH, God of Israel, let Your word be steadfast that You have spoken to Your servant, to 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?

For is it true [that] God dwells with man on the earth? Behold, the heavens, and the heavens of the heavens, do not contain You, how much less this house that 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.

And You have turned to the prayer of Your servant, and to his supplication, O YHWH my God, to listen to the cry and to the prayer that Your servant is praying before You,

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.

for Your eyes being open toward this house by day and by night, toward the place that You have said to put Your Name there, to listen to the prayer that Your servant prays 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.

And You have listened to the supplications of Your servant, and of Your people Israel, that they pray toward this place, and You hear from the place of Your dwelling, from the heavens, and have listened, and forgiven.

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 sins against his neighbor, and he has lifted up an oath on him to cause him to swear, and the oath has come in before Your 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 You hear from the heavens, and have done, and have judged Your servants, to give back to the wicked, to put his way on his head, and to declare righteous the righteous, to give to 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 Your people Israel is struck before an enemy because they sin against You, and they have turned back and confessed Your Name, and prayed and made supplication before You 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 You hear from the heavens and have forgiven the sin of Your people Israel, and caused them to return to the ground that You have given 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,

In the heavens being restrained and there is no rain because they sin against You, and they have prayed toward this place and confessed Your Name, [and] they turn back from their sin because You 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 You hear in the heavens, and have forgiven the sin of Your servants, and of Your people Israel, because You direct them to the good way in which they walk, and have given rain on Your land that You have given to Your 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,

Famine, when it is in the land, [and] pestilence, when it is [in the land], blasting and mildew, locust and caterpillar, when they are [in the land], when its enemies have distressed it in the land—its gates, any plague and any sickness;

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,

any prayer, any supplication that is for any man, and for all Your people Israel, when they each know his own plague, and his own pain, and he has spread out his hands toward 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 You hear from the heavens, the settled place of Your dwelling, and have forgiven, and have given to each according to all his ways (because You know his heart, for You alone have known the heart of the sons of men),

31 nĩgeetha matũũre magwĩtigĩrĩte, na mathiiage na mĩthiĩre yaku rĩrĩa rĩothe marĩtũũraga bũrũri-inĩ ũyũ waheire maithe maitũ.

so that they fear You, to walk in Your ways, all the days that they are living on the face of the ground that You have given to 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,

And also, to the stranger who is not of Your people Israel, and he has come from a far-off land for the sake of Your great Name, and Your strong hand, and Your outstretched arm, and they have come in and prayed toward 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 You hear from the heavens, from the settled place of Your dwelling, and have done according to all that the stranger calls to You for, so that all the peoples of the earth know Your Name, so as to fear You, as Your people Israel, and to know that Your Name is called on this house that I have built.

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,

When Your people go out to battle against its enemies in the way that You send them, and they have prayed to You [in] the way of this city that You have fixed on, and the house that I have built for Your Name—

35 hĩndĩ ĩyo ũkaigua mahooya mao na gũthaithana kwao ũrĩ kũu igũrũ, na ũmatirĩrĩre ũhoro-inĩ ũcio wao.

then You have heard their prayer and their supplication from the heavens, and have maintained their cause.

36 “Rĩrĩa makwĩhĩria, nĩgũkorwo gũtirĩ mũndũ ũtehagia, nawe ũmarakarĩre ũmaneane kũrĩ thũ, nacio imatahe ĩmatware bũrũri wa kũraya kana wa gũkuhĩ;

When they sin against You—for there is not a man who does not sin—and You have been angry with them, and have given them before an enemy, and their captors have taken them captive to 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’;

and they have turned [it] back to their heart in the land to where they have been taken captive, and have turned back and made supplication to You in the land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have done perversely, and have done 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;

indeed, they have turned back to You with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their captivity, to where they have taken them captive, and they have prayed [in] the way of their land that You have given to their fathers, and of the city that You have chosen, and of the house that I have built for Your 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 You have heard from the heavens, from the settled place of Your dwelling, their prayer and their supplications, and have maintained their cause, and forgiven Your people who have sinned against You.

40 “Na rĩrĩ, Ngai wakwa, ũrohingũra maitho maku, o namo matũ maku mathikĩrĩrie mahooya marĩa marĩhooyagĩrwo handũ haha.

Now my God, I implore You, let Your eyes be open and Your ears attentive to the prayer of this place.

41 “Rĩu gĩũkĩre, Wee Jehova Ngai, na ũũke handũ haku ha kũhurũka,

And now, rise, O YHWH God, to Your rest, You and the Ark of Your strength; Your priests, O YHWH God, are clothed with salvation, and Your saints rejoice in the goodness.

42 Wee Jehova Ngai, ndũgatiganĩrie ũrĩa waku mũitĩrĩrie maguta.

O YHWH God, do not turn back the face of Your anointed, be mindful of the kind acts of Your servant David.”
