II Oihanaalii 6
1 A LAILA, olelo aku la o Solomona, I mai la o Iehova, e no ho ia iloko o ka pouli nui.
Then Solomon said, “The LORD has said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
2 Aka, ua kukulu au i hale noho nou, i wahi nou e noho mau loa ai.
But I have built you a house and home, a place for you to dwell in forever.”
3 Alaila, huli ae la ko ke alii mau maka, a hoomaikai aku la ia i ka ahakanaka a pau o ka Iseraela; a ku ae la iluna ka ahakanaka a pau o ka Iseraela.
The king turned his face, and blessed all the assembly of Israel; and all the assembly of Israel stood.
4 Olelo aku la ia, E hoomaikaiia o Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela, ka mea nana i olelo mai me kona waha ia Davida, i ko'u makuakane, a hooko mai hoi me kona mau lima, i ka i ana mai,
He said, “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David my father, and has with his hands fulfilled it, saying,
5 Mai ka wa mai a'u i lawe mai ai i ko'u poe kanaka mai ka aina mai o Aigupita, aole au i wae aku i kulanakauhale noloko mai o na ohana a pau o ka Iseraela, i wahi e kukulu ai i hale e waihoia'i ko'u inoa malaila; aole hoi au i wae aku i ke kanaka e noho alii maluna o ko'u poe kanaka o ka Iseraela.
‘Since the day that I brought my people out of the land of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house in, that my name might be there, and I chose no man to be prince over my people Israel;
6 Aka, ua wae aku au ia Ierusalema i waihoia'i ko'u inoa malaila; a ua wae aku au ia Davida e noho maluna o ko'u poe kanaka, o ka Iseraela.
but now I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and I have chosen David to be over my people Israel.’
7 Aia no iloko o ka naau o Davida, ko'u makua e kukulu i hale no ka inoa o Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela.
Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel.
8 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Davida, i ko'u makuakane, aia no iloko o kou naau e kukulu i hale no ko'u inoa, a ua pono ia manao iloko o kou naau.
But the LORD said to David my father, ‘Whereas it was in your heart to build a house for my name, you did well that it was in your heart;
9 Aka hoi, aole oe e kukulu i ka hale, o kau keiki ka mea e puka mai ana mai loko mai o kou puhaka, oia ka mea nana e kukulu ka hale no ko'u inoa.
nevertheless you shall not build the house, but your son who will come out of your body, he shall build the house for my name.’
10 Ua hooko mai o Iehova i ka olelo ana i olelo mai ai; no ka mea, ua ku ae au mahope o Davida ko'u makuakane, a ke noho nei au maluna o ka noho alii o ka Iseraela e like me ka olelo a Iehova, a ua kukulu au i hale no ka inoa o Iehova, ke Akua o ka Iseraela.
“The LORD has performed his word that he spoke; for I have risen up in the place of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built the house for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel.
11 A ua hookomo au ilaila i ka pahu, aia iloko ka berita o Iehova ana i hana'i me ka poe mamo a Iseraela.
There I have set the ark, in which is the LORD’s covenant, which he made with the children of Israel.”
12 Ku ae la iluna o Solomona imua o ke kuahu o Iehova, imua o ka ahakanaka a pau o ka Iseraela, a hohola ae la i kona mau lima.
He stood before the LORD’s altar in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands
13 No ka mea, ua hana o Solomona i awai keleawe, elima kubita ka loa, elima ka laula, a ekolu ke kiekie, a ua waiho oia ia mea mawae na konu o ka pahale; a ku oia ma luna o ia mea, kukuli ihe la ma kona kuli imua o ka ahakanaka a pau o ka Iseraela, a hohola ae la i kona mau lima i ka lani,
(for Solomon had made a bronze platform, five cubits long, five cubits wide, and three cubits high, and had set it in the middle of the court; and he stood on it, and knelt down on his knees before all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands towards heaven).
14 Olelo aku la ia, E Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela, aohe Akua e like me oe ma ka lani, aole hoi ma ka honua, e malama ana i ka berita a me ke aloha no kau poe kauwa, no ka poe e hele ana imua ou me ko lakou naau a pau.
Then he said, “LORD, the God of Israel, there is no God like you in heaven or on earth—you who keep covenant and loving kindness with your servants who walk before you with all their heart;
15 Ua malama mai oe i ka mea au i olelo mai ai i kau kauwa ia Davida i ko'u makua. Ua olelo mai oe me kou waha, a ua hooko mai me kou lima e like me ia i keia la.
who have kept with your servant David my father that which you promised him. Yes, you spoke with your mouth, and have fulfilled it with your hand, as it is today.
16 Ano, e Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela, e hooko mai no kau kauwa no Davida, no ko'u makuakane i ka mea au i olelo mai ai ia ia, i mai ana, Aole oe e nele i ke kanaka imua o'u e noho maluna o ka noho alii o ka Iseraela, ke malama kau poe mamo i ko lakou aoao e hele ma ko'u kanawai e like me kou he le ana imua o'u.
“Now therefore, LORD, the God of Israel, keep with your servant David my father that which you have promised him, saying, ‘There shall not fail you a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if only your children take heed to their way, to walk in my law as you have walked before me.’
17 Ano, e Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela, e hooiaioia ka olelo au i olelo ai i kau kauwa ia Davida.
Now therefore, LORD, the God of Israel, let your word be verified, which you spoke to your servant David.
18 Aka, he mea oiaio anei, e noho ana ke Akua me kanaka ma ka honua? Aia hoi, he uuku ia oe ka lani, a me ka lani o na lani! Pehea hoi keia hale a'u i hana ai!
“But will God indeed dwell with men on the earth? Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens can’t contain you; how much less this house which I have built!
19 E maliu mai i ka pule a kau kauwa, a i ka mea ana i noi aku ai, e Iehova, e ko'u Akua, e hoolohe i ke kahea ana'ku a me ka pule a kau kauwa e pule aku nei imua ou:
Yet have respect for the prayer of your servant and to his supplication, LORD my God, to listen to the cry and to the prayer which your servant prays before you;
20 I kaakaa kou mau maka maluna o keia hale i ke ao, a me ka po, maluna o kahi au i olelo ai e waiho mai i kou inoa malaila; e hoolohe i ka pule a kau kauwa e pule aku ai ma keia wahi.
that your eyes may be open towards this house day and night, even towards the place where you have said that you would put your name, to listen to the prayer which your servant will pray towards this place.
21 E hoolohe mai i ka pule a kau kauwa, a me kou poe kanaka o ka Iseraela, ka mea a lakou i noi aku ai ma keia wahi. E maliu mai oe, mai kou wahi e noho ai, mai ka lani mai, e hoolohe mai a e kala mai hoi.
Listen to the petitions of your servant and of your people Israel, when they pray towards this place. Yes, hear from your dwelling place, even from heaven; and when you hear, forgive.
22 Ina e hana hewa ke kanaka i kona hoalauna, a kauia maluna ona ka olelo hoohiki i mea nona e hoohiki ai, a komo ka olelo hoohiki imua o kou kuahu iloko o keia hale;
“If a man sins against his neighbour, and an oath is laid on him to cause him to swear, and he comes and swears before your altar in this house,
23 Alaila, e hoolohe mai oe mai ka lani mai, a e hooponopono, a e hookolokolo i kau poe kauwa, e hoouku i ka mea hewa, e hoopai no i kona aoao maluna o kona poo iho; a e apono mai i ka mea pono, e haawi ia ia e like me kona pono iho.
then hear from heaven, act, and judge your servants, bringing retribution to the wicked, to bring his way on his own head; and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.
24 Ina e hee kou poe kanaka o ka Iseraela imua o ko lakou poe enemi, no ka lakou hana hewa ana ia oe; a huli lakou a hooia i kou inoa, a e pule aku a e noi aku imua ou iloko o keia hale;
“If your people Israel are struck down before the enemy because they have sinned against you, and they turn again and confess your name, and pray and make supplication before you in this house,
25 Alaila, e hoolohe mai oe mai ka lani mai. a e kala mai i ka hewa o kou poe kanaka o ka Iseraela, a e hoihoi ia lakou ma ka aina au i haawi mai ai ia lakou, a me ko lakou poe kupuna.
then hear from heaven, and forgive the sin of your people Israel, and bring them again to the land which you gave to them and to their fathers.
26 I ka wa e paa ai ka lani, aohe ua, no ka mea, ua hana hewa lakou ia oe; a pule lakou ma keia hale, a e hooia aku i kou inoa, a e huli ae mai ko lakou hewa mai, i ka wa au e hookaumaha ai ia lakou;
“When the sky is shut up and there is no rain because they have sinned against you, if they pray towards this place and confess your name, and turn from their sin when you afflict them,
27 Alaila, e hoolohe mai oe mai ka lani mai, a e kala mai i ka hewa o kau poe kauwa, a me kou poe kanaka o ka Iseraela i ka wa e ao ai oe ia lakou i ka aoao maikai kahi a lakou e hele ai; a e haawi mai oe i ka ua maluna o ka aina au i haawi ai i kou poe kanaka i mea e ili mau ana no lakou.
then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of your servants, your people Israel, when you teach them the good way in which they should walk, and send rain on your land, which you have given to your people for an inheritance.
28 Ina he kau wi ma ka aina, he ahulau, he huaai malili paha, a me ka punahelu, a me na uhini, a me na peelua; ina o puni lakou i ko lakou poe enemi, ma ka aina ma ko lakou mau ipuka; o ka eha a me ke kaumaha a pau;
“If there is famine in the land, if there is pestilence, if there is blight or mildew, locust or caterpillar; if their enemies besiege them in the land of their cities; whatever plague or whatever sickness there is—
29 O ka pule a pau, a me ke noi ana'ku a pau a kela kanaka keia kanaka a kou poe kanaka a pau o ka Iseraela e pule aku ai, aia ike kela mea keia mea i kona eha a me kona kaumaha, a e hohola ia i ko na mau lima ma keia hale;
whatever prayer and supplication is made by any man, or by all your people Israel, who will each know his own plague and his own sorrow, and shall spread out his hands towards this house,
30 Alaila, e hoolohe mai oe mai ka lani mai, o kou wahi e noho ai, a e kala mai, a e haawi i kela kanaka keia kanaka e like me kona aoao iho, i kou ike ana i kona naau; (no ka mea, o oe wale no ka i ike i ka naau o na keiki a kanaka; )
then hear from heaven your dwelling place and forgive, and render to every man according to all his ways, whose heart you know (for you, even you only, know the hearts of the children of men),
31 I makau lakou ia oe, i hele ma kou aoao i na la a pau loa o ko lakou ola ana ma ka aina au i haawi mai ai i ko makou poe kupuna.
that they may fear you, to walk in your ways as long as they live in the land which you gave to our fathers.
32 A o ka malihini, ka mea aole no kou poe kanaka o ka Iseraela, ka mea i hele mai, mai ka ai na loihi e mai, no kou inoa nui, a no kou lima ikaika, a me kou lima kakauha; a hele mai lakou e pule ma keia hale;
“Moreover, concerning the foreigner, who is not of your people Israel, when he comes from a far country for your great name’s sake and your mighty hand and your outstretched arm, when they come and pray towards this house,
33 Alaila, e hoolohe mai oe mai ka lani mai, mai kou wahi e noho ai, a e hana e like me na mea a ka malihini e kahea aku ai ia oe; i ike na kanaka a pau o ka honua i kou inoa, a i makau lakou ia oe e like me kou poe kanaka o ka Iseraela, a i ike noi lakou ua kapaia kou inoa maluna o keia hale a'u i hana ai.
then hear from heaven, even from your dwelling place, and do according to all that the foreigner calls to you for; that all the peoples of the earth may know your name and fear you, as do your people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by your name.
34 I ka wa i hele aku ai kou poe kanaka e kaua aku i ko lakou poe enemi ma ka aoao au e hoouna aku ai lakou, a e pule lakou ma ke alo ma keia kulanakauhale au i wae mai ai, a ma ka hale a'u i hana ai no kou inoa;
“If your people go out to battle against their enemies, by whatever way you send them, and they pray to you towards this city which you have chosen, and the house which I have built for your name;
35 Alaila, e hoolohe mai oe mai ka lani mai i ka lakou pule, a me ko lakou noi ana, a e hoopono mai no lakou.
then hear from heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.
36 Ina e hana hewa lakou ia oe, (no kamea, aohe kanaka i hana he wa ole, ) a huhu mai oe ia lakou, a haawi oe ia lakou i ko lakou poe enemi, a alakai pio ua poe la ia lakou i ka aina loihi, a i ka aina kokoke paha;
“If they sin against you (for there is no man who doesn’t sin), and you are angry with them and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captive to a land far off or near;
37 A e noonoo iho lakou ma ka aina a lakou e noho pio ai, a e huli lakou, a e pule aku ia oe ma ka ai na o ko lakou noho pio ana, me ka i ana'ku, Ua hewa makou, ua lawehala, a ua hana ino aku;
yet if they come to their senses in the land where they are carried captive, and turn again, and make supplication to you in the land of their captivity, saying, ‘We have sinned, we have done perversely, and have dealt wickedly;’
38 A huli lakou ia oe me ko lakou naau a pau, a me ko lakou uhane a pau, ma ka aina o ko lakou noho pio ana kahi i lawe pio ia'i lakou, a pule aku lakou me ka haliu mai o ke alo ma ko lakou aina ka mea au i haawi mai ai i ko lakou poe kupuna, a ma ke kulanakauhale au i wae mai ai, a me ka hale a'u i kukulu ai no kou inoa;
if they return to you with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, where they have been taken captive, and pray towards their land which you gave to their fathers, and the city which you have chosen, and towards the house which I have built for your name;
39 Alaila, e hoolohe mai oe mai ka lani mai, mai kou wahi e noho ai, i ka lakou pule, a me ko lakou noi ana, a e hoopono mai no lakou, a e kala mai i kou poe kanaka i ka mea a lakou i hana hewa aku ai ia oe.
then hear from heaven, even from your dwelling place, their prayer and their petitions, and maintain their cause, and forgive your people who have sinned against you.
40 Ano, e ko'u Akua, e weheia kou mau maka, e haliu mai hoi kou mau pepeiao i ka pule ma keia wahi.
“Now, my God, let, I beg you, your eyes be open, and let your ears be attentive to the prayer that is made in this place.
41 E ku oe, ano, e Iehova ke Akua, iloko o kou wahi e maha ai, o oe a me ka pahu o kou mana; o kou poe kahuna, e Iehova ke Akua, e hoaahuia lakou i ke ola, a o kou poe haipule, e olioli lakou i ka maikai.
“Now therefore arise, LORD God, into your resting place, you, and the ark of your strength. Let your priests, LORD God, be clothed with salvation [yeshu`ah], and let your holy ones rejoice in goodness.
42 E Iehova ke Akua, mai pale ae i ka maka o kau mea i poni ai; e hoomanao oe i ke aloha no Davida, no kau kauwa.
“LORD God, don’t turn away the face of your anointed. Remember your loving kindnesses to David your servant.”
