1 Ndị Eze 8

1 Mgbe ahụ, eze Solomọn kpọkọtara ndị okenye Izrel, na ndịisi ebo niile, na ndịisi ezinaụlọ Izrel niile, ka ha bịakwute eze na Jerusalem, maka i site na Zayọn bụ obodo Devid bugota igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị.

Then King Salomon assembled the Elders of Israel, euen all the heads of the tribes, the chiefe fathers of the children of Israel vnto him in Ierusalem, for to bring vp the Arke of the couenant of the Lord from the citie of Dauid, which is Zion.

2 Ndị Izrel niile gbakọtara bịakwute eze Solomọn nʼoge a na-eme mmemme nʼọnwa Etanim nke bụ ọnwa asaa nʼafọ.

And all the men of Israel assembled vnto King Salomon at the feast in the moneth of Ethanim, which is the seuenth moneth.

3 Mgbe ndị okenye Izrel niile bịarutere, ndị nchụaja buliri igbe ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ.

And all the Elders of Israel came and the Priests tooke the Arke.

4 Ha bugotara igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị, ya na ụlọ nzute, na ngwongwo niile dị nsọ dị nʼime ya. Ndị nchụaja na ndị Livayị buliri ha elu.

They bare the Arke of the Lord, and they bare the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and all the holy vessels that were in the Tabernacle: those did the Priestes and Leuites bring vp.

5 Eze Solomọn na ọgbakọ Izrel niile, bụ ndị zukọtara nʼebe ọ nọ, nọ nʼihu igbe ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ, na-achụ aja ọtụtụ atụrụ na ọtụtụ ehi nke a na-apụghị ịgụta ọnụ maọbụ gbakọta ọnụọgụgụ ha nʼihi ịba ụba.

And King Salomon and all the Congregation of Israel, that were assembled vnto him, were with him before the Arke, offering sheepe and beeues, which could not be tolde, nor nombred for multitude.

6 Ndị nchụaja bubatara igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị ahụ nʼime ime ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ, nʼime Ebe Kachasị Nsọ, dọba ya nʼokpuru nku cherubim ahụ.

So the Priestes brought the Arke of the couenant of the Lord vnto his place, into the oracle of the house, into the most holy place, euen vnder the wings of the Cherubims.

7 Cherubim ndị ahụ gbasara nku ha nʼelu igbe ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ, zochie igbe ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ na okporo osisi ndị e ji ebu ya.

For ye Cherubims stretched out their wings ouer the place of the Arke, and the Cherubims couered the Arke, and the barres thereof aboue.

8 Okporo osisi ndị a dị oke ogologo, na e nwere ike ị site nʼEbe Nsọ, dị nʼihu ime ime ebe nsọ ahụ hụ isi ha anya, ma onye na-anọghị nʼEbe Nsọ ahụ adịghị ahụ ha. Ha ka dịkwa nʼebe ahụ ruo taa.

And they drewe out the barres, that the endes of the barres might appeare out of the Sanctuarie before the oracle, but they were not seene without: and there they are vnto this day.

9 O nweghị ihe dị nʼime igbe ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ, karịakwa mbadamba nkume abụọ ahụ Mosis tinyere nʼime ya nʼugwu Horeb, nʼebe Onyenwe anyị na ụmụ Izrel gbara ndụ, mgbe ha si nʼala Ijipt pụta.

Nothing was in the Arke saue the two tables of stone which Moses had put there at Horeb, where the Lord made a couenant with the children of Israel, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.

10 Mgbe ndị nchụaja si nʼEbe Nsọ ahụ pụta, igwe ojii jupụtara ụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị ahụ.

And when the Priestes were come out of the Sanctuarie, the cloude filled the house of the Lord,

11 Ndị nchụaja enwekwaghị ike jee ozi ha, nʼihi igwe ojii ahụ, nʼihi na ebube Onyenwe anyị jupụtara nʼime ụlọnsọ ya.

So that the Priestes could not stande to minister, because of the cloude: for the glorie of the Lord had filled the house of the Lord.

12 Mgbe ahụ, Solomọn sịrị, “Onyenwe anyị ekwuola na ọ ga-ebi nʼoke igwe ojii.

Then spake Salomon, The Lord said, that he woulde dwell in the darke cloude.

13 Ma nʼezie, ewuola m ụlọnsọ pụrụ iche, maa mma nye gị, ebe ị ga-ebi ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.”

I haue built thee an house to dwell in, an habitation for thee to abide in for euer.

14 Dịka ọgbakọ Izrel niile na-eguzo nʼebe ahụ, eze chigharịrị onwe ya chee ha ihu, gọzie ha.

And the King turned his face, and blessed all the Congregation of Israel: for all the Congregation of Israel stoode there.

15 Mgbe ahụ, ọ sịrị, “Otuto dịrị Onyenwe anyị, bụ Chineke Izrel, onye ji aka ya mezuo nkwa nke o sitere nʼọnụ ya kwee nna m Devid. Nʼihi na o kwuru sị,

And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, who spake with his mouth vnto Dauid my father, and hath with his hand fulfilled it, saying,

16 ‘Site nʼụbọchị ahụ m si nʼala Ijipt kpọpụta ndị m, ahọpụtaghị m obodo ọbụla nʼebo ọbụla nke Izrel, ka e wuru m ụlọnsọ ka Aha m dịrị nʼebe ahụ. Ma a họrọla m Devid ị bụ onye ga-achị ndị m Izrel.’

Since the day that I brought my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no citie of all the tribes of Israel, to builde an house that my name might be there: but I haue chosen Dauid to be ouer my people Israel.

17 “Nna m, Devid bu nʼobi iwu ụlọnsọ ukwu nye Aha Onyenwe anyị, bụ Chineke nke Izrel.

And it was in ye heart of Dauid my father to builde an house to the Name of the Lord God of Israel.

18 Ma Onyenwe anyị sịrị nna m, Devid, ‘I mere nke ọma ibu nʼobi iwu ụlọnsọ ukwu nye Aha m.

And the Lord said vnto Dauid my father, Where as it was in thine heart to build an house vnto my Name, thou diddest well, that thou wast so minded:

19 Ma otu ọ dị, ọ bụghị gị ga-ewu ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ, kama ọ bụ nwa gị nwoke, anụ ahụ gị na ọbara gị; ọ bụ ya ga-ewu ụlọnsọ ukwu nye Aha m.’

Neuerthelesse thou shalt not builde the house, but thy sonne that shall come out of thy loynes, he shall builde the house vnto my Name.

20 “Ugbu a, Onyenwe anyị emezuola nkwa ahụ o kwere. A nọchiela m nna m Devid, ugbu a, ana m anọdụ nʼocheeze nke Izrel dịka Onyenwe anyị kwere na nkwa. Ewuokwala m ụlọnsọ ukwu nye Aha Onyenwe anyị, bụ Chineke nke Izrel.

And the Lord hath made good his worde that he spake: and I am risen vp in the roume of Dauid my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the Lord promised, and haue built the house for the Name of the Lord God of Israel.

21 Edoziekwala m ọnọdụ ebe igbe ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ ga-adị, nʼime ya ka ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị dị, bụ nke ya na nna nna anyị ha gbara, mgbe o mere ka ha si nʼala Ijipt pụta.”

And I haue prepared therein a place for the Arke, wherein is the couenant of the Lord which he made with our fathers, whe he brought them out of the lande of Egypt.

22 Mgbe ahụ, Solomọn guzoro nʼihu ebe ịchụ aja Onyenwe anyị, na nʼihu ọgbakọ ụmụ Izrel niile, gbasapụ aka ya abụọ chilie ha elu,

Then Salomon stoode before the altar of the Lord in the sight of all the Congregation of Israel, and stretched out his handes towarde heauen,

23 kwuo sị, “Onyenwe anyị, Chineke nke Izrel, ọ dịghị Chineke dịka gị nʼeluigwe nke dị nʼelu, maọbụ nʼụwa, nʼokpuru eluigwe. Gị onye na-edebe ọgbụgba ndụ ịhụnanya gị na ndị ohu gị, bụ ndị ji obi ha niile na-eso ụzọ gị.

And sayd, O Lord God of Israel, there is no God like thee in heauen aboue, or in the earth beneath, thou that keepest couenant and mercie with thy seruants that walke before thee with all their heart,

24 I mezuokwala nkwa niile i kwere nna m Devid, bụ ohu gị. I ji ọnụ gị kwee nkwa a ma taa, i jirila aka gị mezuo ya.

Thou that hast kept with thy seruant Dauid my father, that thou hast promised him: for thou spakest with thy mouth and hast fulfilled it with thine hande, as appeareth this day.

25 “Ugbu a, O! Onyenwe anyị, Chineke nke Izrel, mezukwaa nkwa niile i kwere Devid nna m, mgbe ị sịrị, ‘Ọ bụrụ na ụmụ ụmụ gị elezie anya bie ndụ nʼụzọ kwesiri ntụkwasị obi nʼihu m, nʼihe niile ha na-eme, dịka gị onwe gị mere, agaghị achọ onye ga-anọ nʼihu m nʼocheeze Izrel nʼime ha.’

Therefore now, Lord God of Israel, keepe with thy seruant Dauid my father that thou hast promised him, saying, Thou shalt not want a man in my sight to sit vpon ye throne of Israel: so that thy childre take heed to their way, that they walke before me; as thou hast walked in my sight

26 Ma ugbu a, Chineke nke Izrel, ka okwu gị, bụ nkwa nke i kwere ohu gị, bụ nna m Devid, bịa na mmezu.

And nowe, O God of Israel, I pray thee, let thy worde be verified, which thou spakest vnto thy seruant Dauid my father.

27 “Ma ọ bụ ezie na gị Chineke ga-ebi nʼelu ụwa? Lee, eluigwe ọbụladị ebe kachasị elu nke eluigwe, ezughị ịba gị. Olee otu ụlọ a nke m wuru ga-esi bata gị?

Is it true in deede that God will dwell on the earth? beholde, the heauens, and the heauens of heauens are not able to conteine thee: howe much more vnable is this house that I haue built?

28 Ma Onyenwe anyị Chineke m, ṅaa ntị nʼekpere ohu gị, na arịrịọ ọ na-arịọ maka ebere. Nụrụ akwa na ekpere nke ohu gị na-ekpe nʼihu gị taa.

But haue thou respect vnto the prayer of thy seruant, and to his supplication, O Lord, my God, to heare the cry and prayer which thy seruant prayeth before thee this day:

29 Biko, mee ka anya gị abụọ ghere oghe nʼebe ụlọnsọ ukwu a dị, abalị na ehihie, bụ ebe a i kwuru banyere ya, sị, ‘Aha m ga-adị nʼebe ahụ,’ ka i si otu a nụrụ ekpere nke ohu gị ga-ekpe banyere ebe a.

That thine eyes may be open toward this house, night and day, euen towarde the place whereof thou hast said, My Name shalbe there: that thou mayest hearken vnto the prayer which thy seruant prayeth in this place.

30 Nụrụkwa arịrịọ ohu gị na nke ndị gị Izrel niile, mgbe ọbụla ha chere ihu ha nʼebe a nʼekpere. Biko, site nʼeluigwe bụ ebe obibi gị nụrụ, mgbe ị nụrụ biko, gbagharakwa.

Heare thou therefore the supplication of thy seruant, and of thy people Israel, which pray in this place, and heare thou in the place of thine habitation, euen in heauen, and when thou hearest, haue mercie.

31 “Mgbe onye ọbụla mehiere mmadụ ibe ya, a kpọọ ya oku ka ọ bịa ṅụọ iyi, onye dị otu a bịa, guzo nʼebe a, nʼihu ebe ịchụ aja gị a, ṅụọ iyi ahụ.

When a man shall trespasse against his neighbour, and he lay vpon him an othe to cause him to sweare, and the swearer shall come before thine altar in this house,

32 Mgbe ahụ, nụrụ olu ya nʼeluigwe ma mee ihe ziri ezi. Kpeekwa ikpe nʼetiti ndị ohu gị, maa onye mejọrọ ikpe site nʼịtụkwasị nʼisi ha ihe o metara, meekwa ka onye aka ya dị ọcha nwere onwe ya, site nʼimeso ha dịka ezi omume ha si dị.

Then heare thou in heauen, and doe and iudge thy seruants, that thou condemne the wicked to bring his way vpon his head, and iustifie the righteous, to giue him according to his righteousnesse.

33 “Mgbe ndị iro meriri ndị gị Izrel, nʼihi na ha mehiere megide gị, ọ bụrụ na ha alọghachikwute gị, too aha gị, na-ekpe ekpere, na-arịọ gị arịrịọ nʼụlọnsọ ukwu a,

When thy people Israel shall be ouerthrowen before the enemie, because they haue sinned against thee, and turne againe to thee, and confesse thy Name, and pray and make supplication vnto thee in this house,

34 biko, site nʼeluigwe nụrụ ekpere ha, gbaghara mmehie ndị gị Izrel. Meekwa ka ha lọghachita nʼala ahụ nke i nyere nna nna ha.

Then heare thou in heauen, and be mercifull vnto the sinne of thy people Israel, and bring them againe vnto the lande, which thou gauest vnto their fathers.

When heauen shalbe shut vp, and there shalbe no raine because they haue sinned against thee, and shall pray in this place, and confesse thy Name, and turne from their sinne, when thou doest afflict them,

36 Biko, site nʼeluigwe nụrụ ma gbagharakwa mmehie ndị ohu gị, bụ ndị gị Izrel. Kuziere ha ezi ụzọ ha ga-esi bie ndụ ma zidata mmiri ozuzo nʼala ahụ nke i nyere ndị gị ka ọ bụrụ ihe nketa ha.

Then heare thou in heauen, and pardon the sinne of thy seruants and of thy people Israel (when thou hast taught the the good way wherein they may walke) and giue raine vpon the land that thou hast giuen to thy people to inherite.

37 “Mgbe ụnwụ maọbụ ajọ ọrịa na-efe efe ga-adakwasị ala a, maọbụ ọrịa na-eripịa ihe ubi maọbụ ọmụma ebu, maọbụ igurube maọbụ ụkpana, maọbụ mgbe onye iro nọchibidoro ha nʼobodo ha niile, ihe mbibi niile maọbụ ọrịa ọbụla,

When there shalbe famine in the land, when there shalbe pestilence, when there shall be blasting, mildewe, grashopper or caterpiller, when their enemie shall besiege them in the cities of their lande, or any plague, or any sickenesse,

40 ka ha tụọ egwu gị oge niile nke ha na-ebi nʼala ahụ nke i nyere nna nna anyị ha.

That they may feare thee as long as they liue in ye lad, which thou gauest vnto our fathers.

41 “Ma banyere onye mba ọzọ, onye na-esonyeghị na ndị gị Izrel, kama o si nʼala ebe dị anya bịa nʼihi Aha gị,

And be mercifull vnto thy people that haue sinned against thee, and vnto all their iniquities (wherein they haue transgressed against thee) and cause that they, which led them away captiues, may haue pitie and compassion on them:

51 Nʼihi na ha bụ ndị gị na oke gị, ndị i mere ka ha si nʼala Ijipt pụta, ala oke ịta ahụhụ nke nhụju anya.

For they be thy people, and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest out of Egypt from the middes of the yron fornace.

52 “Ka anya gị ghere oghe nʼarịrịọ mụ bụ ohu gị, nakwa nʼarịrịọ ndị gị Izrel, biko, na-egekwa ha ntị mgbe ọbụla ha bekuru gị akwa.

For thou diddest separate them to thee from among all people of the earth for an inheritance, as thou saidest by the hand of Moses thy seruant, when thou broughtest our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord God.

54 Mgbe Solomọn kpechara ekpere ndị a ya na arịrịọ ọ rịọrọ Onyenwe anyị o si nʼihu ebe ịchụ aja Onyenwe anyị, bụ ebe o gburu ikpere nʼala, bilie, gbasapụ aka ya abụọ chilie ha elu.

And when Salomon had made an ende of praying all this prayer and supplication vnto the Lord, he arose from before the altar of the Lord, from kneeling on his knees, and stretching of his handes to heauen,

55 O guzoro gọzie ọgbakọ Izrel niile, gwa ha okwu nʼoke olu sị ha,

And stoode and blessed all the Congregation of Israel with a loud voyce, saying,

56 “Onye a gọziri agọzi ka Onyenwe anyị bụ, onye nyere ndị ya, Izrel izuike dịka o kwere na nkwa. Ọ dịkwaghị okwu ọbụla nke na-emezughị nʼime ezi nkwa ahụ niile o kwere site nʼọnụ Mosis ohu ya.

Blessed be the Lord that hath giuen rest vnto his people Israel, according to all that hee promised: there hath not fayled one word of all his good promise which he promised by the hand of Moses his seruant.

57 Ka Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị dịnyere anyị, dịka o si dịnyere nna nna anyị ha. Ka ọ gharakwa ịhapụ anyị, maọbụ gbakụta anyị azụ.

The Lord our God be with vs, as he was with our fathers, that he forsake vs not, neither leaue vs,

That he may bow our heartes vnto him, that we may walke in all his waies, and keepe his commandements, and his statutes, and his lawes, which he commanded our fathers.

59 Ka okwu m ndị a niile, nke m ji rịọ amara nʼihu Onyenwe anyị dịkwa Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị nso ehihie na abalị. Ka o nyekwara ohu ya na ndị Izrel niile aka, dịka mkpa ụbọchị ọbụla si dị.

And these my wordes, which I haue prayed before the Lord, be neere vnto the Lord our God day and night, that he defende the cause of his seruant, and the cause of his people Israel alway as the matter requireth,

60 Ka ndị niile bi nʼụwa mara na Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke, marakwa na o nweghị chi ọzọ dị karịa ya.

That all the people of ye earth may knowe, that the Lord is God, and none other.

61 Ya mere, werenụ obi unu nyechasịa Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke anyị, kpamkpam, na-ebinụ ndụ nʼụkpụrụ ya, rubenụ isi nʼiwu ya, dịka ọ dị taa.”

Let your heart therefore be perfit with the Lord our God to walke in his statutes, and to keepe his commandements, as this day.

62 Mgbe ahụ, eze ya na ndị Izrel niile chụrụ aja dị iche iche nʼihu Onyenwe anyị.

Then the King and all Israel with him offred sacrifice before the Lord.

63 Solomọn chụrụ aja udo, bụ nke ọ chụrụ nye Onyenwe anyị. Ehi dị puku iri abụọ na abụọ, na ewu na atụrụ dị narị puku na iri puku abụọ. Ya mere, eze na ndị Izrel niile si otu a doo ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị nsọ.

And Salomon offered a sacrifice of peace offrings which he offered vnto the Lord, to wit, two and twentie thousande beeues, and an hundreth and twentie thousande sheepe: so the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the house of the Lord.

64 Nʼotu ụbọchị ahụ kwa, eze doro etiti ogige dị nʼihu ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị ahụ nsọ. Nʼebe ahụ ka ọ nọ chụọ aja nsure ọkụ, aja onyinye mkpụrụ ọka na aja abụba udo.

The same day did the King halowe the middle of the court, that was before the house of the Lord: for there he made burnt offerings, and the meate offrings, and the fat of the peace offeringes, because the brasen altar that was before the Lord, was too litle to receiue the burnt offerings, and the meate offerings, and the fat of the peace offrings.

65 Ya mere, Solomọn ya na ndị Izrel niile mere mmemme a nʼoge ahụ, ọ bụ nzukọ dị ukwuu. Ndị mmadụ bịara sitere na Lebo Hamat ruo na mmiri iyi Ijipt. Ha mere mmemme a nʼihu Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị, ụbọchị asaa tinyere ụbọchị asaa ọzọkwa, ya bụ agụkọta ha ụbọchị iri na anọ.

And Salomon made at that time a feast and all Israel with him, a very great Congregation, euen from the entring in of Hamath vnto the riuer of Egypt, before the Lord our God, seuen dayes and seuen dayes, euen fourteene dayes.

66 Nʼụbọchị nke na-eso ya, o zilagara ndị ahụ niile. Ha gọziri eze, laakwa nʼụlọ ha, nʼịṅụrị ọṅụ na obi ụtọ nʼihi ihe ọma niile nke Onyenwe anyị meere ohu ya Devid, na ndị ya Izrel.

And the eight day he sent the people away: and they thanked the King and went vnto their tentes ioyous and with glad heart, because of al the goodnesse that the Lord had done for Dauid his seruant, and for Israel his people.
