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 made an end of praying, the 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 could not enter into the house of the LORD, because the glory of the LORD 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 looked on, when the fire came down, and the glory of the LORD was upon the house; and they bowed themselves with their faces to the ground upon the pavement, and worshipped, and gave thanks unto the LORD, [saying], For he is good; for his mercy [endureth] for ever.
4 Ningĩ mũthamaki na andũ othe makĩruta magongona marĩ mbere ya Jehova.
Then the king and all the people offered sacrifice 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 an hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the people dedicated the house of God.
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 stood, according to their offices; the Levites also with instruments of music of the LORD, which David the king had made to give thanks unto the LORD, for his mercy [endureth] for ever, when David praised by their ministry: and 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 hallowed the middle of the court that was before the house of the LORD; for there he offered the burnt offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings: because the brasen altar which Solomon had made was not able to receive the burnt offering, and 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 seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great congregation, from the entering in of Hamath unto 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.
And 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.
And on the three and twentieth day of the seventh mouth he sent the people away unto their tents, joyful and glad of heart for the goodness that the LORD had shewed unto David, and 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 house of the LORD, and the king’s house: and all that came into Solomon’s heart to make in the house of the LORD, and in his own house, he prosperously effected.
12 Jehova akĩmuumĩrĩra ũtukũ, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ: “Nĩnjiguĩte ihooya rĩaku, na nĩthuurĩte handũ haha hatuĩke hekarũ yakwa ya kũrutagĩrwo magongona.
And the LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him, I have heard thy prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for an 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 heaven that there be 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, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and 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 mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent, unto the 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 have I chosen and hallowed this house, that my name may be there for ever: and mine eyes and mine heart shall 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,
And as for thee, if thou wilt walk before me as David thy father walked, and do according to all that I have commanded thee, and wilt keep my statutes and my judgments;
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 thy kingdom, according as I covenanted with David thy father, saying, There shall not 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 turn away, and forsake my statutes and my commandments which I have set before you, and shall 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 will I pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have hallowed for my name, will I 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?’
And this house, which is so high, every one that passeth by it shall be astonished, and shall say, Why hath the LORD done thus unto 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.’”
And they shall answer, Because they forsook the LORD, the God of their fathers, which brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on other gods, and worshipped them, and served them: therefore hath he brought all this evil upon them.
