< 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.
And when Solomon had made an end of praying, a fire came down from heaven, and consumed the burnt-offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of the Lord filled the house.
2 Nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai matingĩahotire gũtoonya hekarũ ya Jehova tondũ riiri wa Jehova nĩwaiyũrĩte kuo.
And the priests were not able to enter into the house of the Lord; because the glory of the Lord had 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.”
And all the children of Israel were looking on as the fire came down, and the glory of the Lord [was resting] upon the house; and they kneeled down with their faces to the ground upon the pavement, and prostrated themselves, and gave thanks unto the Lord, for he is good; because unto everlasting endureth his kindness.
4 Ningĩ mũthamaki na andũ othe makĩruta magongona marĩ mbere ya Jehova.
And 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.
And king Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty and two thousand oxen, and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep: and so they dedicated the house of God, the king and all the people.
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.
And the priests were standing on their stations, and the Levites with the instruments of the music of the Lord, which king David had made to give thanks unto the Lord, because unto everlasting endureth his kindness, with the song of praise of David in their hand; and the priests blew the trumpets opposite to them, and all Israel were standing.
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.
And Solomon hallowed the interior of the court that was before the house of the Lord; for he prepared there the burnt-offerings, and the fat of the peace-offerings; because the copper altar which Solomon had made was not able to contain the burnt-offerings, and the meat-offerings, 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.
And Solomon held the feast at that time seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great assembly, from the entrance of Chamath unto the river of Egypt.
9 Mũthenya wa ĩnana makĩgĩa na kĩũngano nĩ ũndũ nĩmarĩkĩtie gũkũngũĩra Kwamũrwo gwa kĩgongona mĩthenya mũgwanja, na magĩkũngũĩra gĩathĩ mĩthenya ĩngĩ mũgwanja.
And they held on the eighth day a solemn assembly; for the dedication of the altar they held 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.
And on the three-and-twentieth day of the seventh month he dismissed the people unto their tents, joyful and glad of heart because of the good that the Lord had done for David, and for Solomon, and for 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 did Solomon complete the house of the Lord, and the king's house; and [in] all that came into Solomon's heart to make in the house of the Lord, and in his own house, he prospered.
12 Jehova akĩmuumĩrĩra ũtukũ, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ: “Nĩnjiguĩte ihooya rĩaku, na nĩthuurĩte handũ haha hatuĩke hekarũ yakwa ya kũrutagĩrwo magongona.
Then appeared the Lord to Solomon during the night, and said unto him, I have heard thy prayer, and I have made choice of this place for myself as 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 heavens that there be no rain, or if I give a charge to the locusts to devour off the land, or if I send a 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.
And if my people, over whom my name is called, do then humble themselves, and pray, and seek my presence, and turn away from their evil ways: then will I also hear from heaven, and I 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 shall be open, and my ears attentive unto the prayer on this place.
16 Nĩthuurĩte na ngaamũra hekarũ ĩno nĩgeetha Rĩĩtwa rĩakwa rĩtũũre kuo nginya tene. Maitho makwa na ngoro yakwa igũtũũra kuo hĩndĩ ciothe.
And now I have chosen and hallowed this house, that my name may be there for ever; and my eyes and my heart shall be there at all times.
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,
And as for thee, if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father hath walked, so as to do in accordance with all that I have commanded thee, and wilt 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 will I establish the throne of thy kingdom, just as I have covenanted with David thy father, saying, There shall never fail thee 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 ye will indeed turn away, and forsake my statutes and my commandments, which I have set before you, and will go and serve other gods, and bow down to 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 will I pluck them up out of my land which I have given unto them; and this house, which I have hallowed for my name, will I cast away from my sight, and I will render it to be for a proverb and for a by-word among all the people.
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?’
And this house, which hath been so exalted, shall become an astonishment to every one that passeth by it: so that he will say, Why hath the Lord done thus unto this land, and unto 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.’”
And men shall then say, For the cause that they forsook the Lord the God of their fathers, who had brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, and they took hold of other gods, and bowed down to them, and served them: therefore hath he brought upon them all this evil.
