2 Maũndũ 7
1 Na rĩrĩ, Solomoni aarĩkia kũhooya-rĩ, mwaki ũkiuma igũrũ ũgĩcina iruta rĩa njino na magongona, naguo riiri wa Jehova ũkĩiyũra hekarũ.
Now when Solomon had finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the LORD’s glory filled the house.
2 Nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai matingĩahotire gũtoonya hekarũ ya Jehova tondũ riiri wa Jehova nĩwaiyũrĩte kuo.
The priests could not enter into the LORD’s house, because the LORD’s glory filled the LORD’s house.
3 Na rĩrĩa andũ a Isiraeli othe moonire mwaki ũkiuma na igũrũ, na riiri wa Jehova ũrĩ igũrũ rĩa hekarũ, magĩturia maru hau haarĩtwo mahiga, maturumithĩtie mothiũ mao thĩ, makĩhooya Jehova na makĩmũcookeria ngaatho, makiugaga atĩrĩ, “Jehova nĩ mwega; wendo wake ũtũũraga nginya tene.”
All the children of Israel looked on, when the fire came down, and the LORD’s glory was on the house. They bowed themselves with their faces to the ground on the pavement, worshiped, and gave thanks to the LORD, saying, “For he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever!”
4 Ningĩ mũthamaki na andũ othe makĩruta magongona marĩ mbere ya Jehova.
Then the king and all the people offered sacrifices before the LORD.
5 Nake Mũthamaki Solomoni akĩruta igongona rĩa ngʼombe 22,000 na rĩa ngʼondu na mbũri 120,000. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki na andũ othe makĩamũra hekarũ ya Ngai.
King Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty-two thousand head of cattle and a hundred twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the people dedicated God’s house.
6 Athĩnjĩri-Ngai makĩĩhaarĩria kũruta wĩra wao, o nao Alawii makĩrũgama marĩ na indo cia Jehova cia ũini, iria Daudi aathondekete cia kũgoocaga Jehova nacio, nĩ iria aahũthagĩra agĩcookia ngaatho, akoigaga atĩrĩ, “Wendo wake ũtũũraga nginya tene.” Athĩnjĩri-Ngai makĩhuha tũrumbeta twao mangʼethanĩire na Alawii, nao andũ a Isiraeli othe nĩmarũgamĩte.
The priests stood, according to their positions; the Levites also with instruments of music of the LORD, which David the king had made to give thanks to the LORD, when David praised by their ministry, saying “For his loving kindness endures forever.” The priests sounded trumpets before them; and all Israel stood.
7 Nake Solomoni akĩamũra kũu gatagatĩ ka nja, hau mbere ya hekarũ ya Jehova, na hau nĩho aarutĩire magongona ma njino na maguta na magongona ma ũiguano, tondũ kĩgongona gĩa gĩcango kĩrĩa aathondekete gĩtingĩahotire kũiganĩra maruta ma njino, na maruta ma mũtu, na ma maguta.
Moreover Solomon made the middle of the court that was before the LORD’s house holy; for there he offered the burnt offerings and the fat of the peace offerings, because the bronze altar which Solomon had made was not able to receive the burnt offering, the meal offering, and the fat.
8 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Solomoni agĩkũngũĩra gĩathĩ kĩu mĩthenya mũgwanja, hamwe na andũ a Isiraeli othe, nakĩo kĩarĩ kĩũngano kĩnene mũno kĩa andũ moimĩte Lebo-Hamathu nginya o Karũũĩ-inĩ ka Misiri.
So Solomon held the feast at that time for seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great assembly, from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of Egypt.
9 Mũthenya wa ĩnana makĩgĩa na kĩũngano nĩ ũndũ nĩmarĩkĩtie gũkũngũĩra Kwamũrwo gwa kĩgongona mĩthenya mũgwanja, na magĩkũngũĩra gĩathĩ mĩthenya ĩngĩ mũgwanja.
On the eighth day, they held a solemn assembly; for they kept the dedication of the altar seven days, and the feast seven days.
10 Mũthenya wa mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩtatũ wa mweri wa mũgwanja, Solomoni akĩĩra andũ mainũke, nao makĩinũka maiyũrĩtwo nĩ gĩkeno, na ngoro ciao igacanjamũka nĩ ũndũ wa maũndũ mega marĩa Jehova eekĩire Daudi na Solomoni, na andũ ake a Isiraeli.
On the twenty-third day of the seventh month, he sent the people away to their tents, joyful and glad of heart for the goodness that the LORD had shown to David, to Solomon, and to Israel his people.
11 Rĩrĩa Solomoni aarĩkirie gwaka hekarũ ya Jehova na nyũmba ya ũthamaki, na aarĩkia gwĩka ũrĩa wothe eeciirĩtie gwĩka hekarũ-inĩ ya Jehova o na nyũmba-inĩ yake ya ũthamaki-rĩ,
Thus Solomon finished the LORD’s house and the king’s house; and he successfully completed all that came into Solomon’s heart to make in the LORD’s house and in his own house.
12 Jehova akĩmuumĩrĩra ũtukũ, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ: “Nĩnjiguĩte ihooya rĩaku, na nĩthuurĩte handũ haha hatuĩke hekarũ yakwa ya kũrutagĩrwo magongona.
Then the LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said to him, “I have heard your prayer, and have chosen this place for myself for a house of sacrifice.
13 “Rĩrĩa ingĩhinga igũrũ nayo mbura yaage kuura, kana njathe ngigĩ cianange bũrũri kana ndũme mũthiro kũrĩ andũ akwa,
“If I shut up the sky so that there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people,
14 andũ acio akwa, o acio metanĩtio na rĩĩtwa rĩakwa, mangĩkenyiihia na maahooe, na marongorie ũthiũ wakwa, na matigane na njĩra ciao cia waganu, hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩngamaigua ndĩ o igũrũ, na nĩngamarekera mehia mao na honie bũrũri wao.
if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
15 Na rĩrĩ, maitho makwa nĩmekũhingũka, namo matũ makwa maigue mahooya marĩa mahooeirwo handũ haha.
Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to prayer that is made in this place.
16 Nĩthuurĩte na ngaamũra hekarũ ĩno nĩgeetha Rĩĩtwa rĩakwa rĩtũũre kuo nginya tene. Maitho makwa na ngoro yakwa igũtũũra kuo hĩndĩ ciothe.
For now I have chosen and made this house holy, that my name may be there forever; and my eyes and my heart will be there perpetually.
17 “Na ha ũhoro waku, ũngĩthiiaga na mĩthiĩre ĩrĩa yagĩrĩire o ta ũrĩa thoguo Daudi aathiiaga, na wĩkage maũndũ mothe marĩa ngwathĩte, na ũmenyagĩrĩre kĩrĩra kĩa watho wakwa wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo na mawatho makwa-rĩ,
“As for you, if you will walk before me as David your father walked, and do according to all that I have commanded you, and will keep my statutes and my ordinances,
18 nĩngahaanda gĩtĩ gĩaku kĩa ũnene, o ta ũrĩa ndarĩkanĩire na thoguo Daudi rĩrĩa ndamwĩrire atĩrĩ, ‘Wee ndũkaaga mũndũ wa gũthamakĩra Isiraeli.’
then I will establish the throne of your kingdom, according as I covenanted with David your father, saying, ‘There shall not fail you a man to be ruler in Israel.’
19 “No rĩrĩ, ũngĩkahutatĩra na ũtiganĩrie kĩrĩra kĩa watho wakwa wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo, na maathani marĩa ngũheete, na ũthiĩ gũtungatĩra ngai ingĩ na gũcihooya-rĩ,
But if you turn away and forsake my statutes and my commandments which I have set before you, and go and serve other gods and worship them,
20 hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩngamunya Isiraeli kuuma bũrũri wakwa, ũrĩa ndĩmaheete, na ndiganĩrie hekarũ ĩno nyamũrĩte ĩtanio na Rĩĩtwa rĩakwa. Ngaamĩtua o kĩndũ gĩa kuunagwo thimo na gĩa gũthekererwo nĩ andũ othe.
then I will pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have made holy for my name, I will cast out of my sight, and I will make it a proverb and a byword among all peoples.
21 O na gũtuĩka hekarũ ĩno nĩguo ĩrĩ nene, arĩa othe makaahĩtũkagĩra ho nĩmakamaka na moige atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmĩte Jehova eke bũrũri ũyũ na hekarũ ĩno ũndũ ta ũyũ?’
This house, which is so high, everyone who passes by it will be astonished and say, ‘Why has the LORD done this to this land and to this house?’
22 Andũ nĩmagacookia moige, atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ tondũ nĩmatiganĩirie Jehova, o we Ngai wa maithe mao, ũrĩa wamarutire bũrũri wa Misiri, na makĩhĩmbĩria ngai ingĩ, magĩcihooya na magĩcitungatĩra, nĩkĩo amarehithĩirie mwanangĩko ũyũ wothe.’”
They shall answer, ‘Because they abandoned the LORD, the God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and took other gods, worshiped them, and served them. Therefore he has brought all this evil on them.’”
