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 doth Solomon assemble the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, princes of the fathers of the sons of Israel, unto king Solomon, to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah from the city of David — it [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 are assembled unto king Solomon, in the month of Ethanim, in the festival — [is] the seventh month.
3 Mgbe ndị okenye Izrel niile bịarutere, ndị nchụaja buliri igbe ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ.
And all the elders of Israel come in, and the priests lift up the ark,
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.
and bring up the ark of Jehovah, and the tent of meeting, and all the holy vessels that [are] in the tent, yea, the priests and the Levites bring them up.
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 Solomon and all the company of Israel who are met unto him [are] with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that are not counted nor numbered 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.
And the priests bring in the ark of the covenant of Jehovah unto its place, unto the oracle of the house, unto the holy of holies, unto the place of the wings of the cherubs;
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 the cherubs are spreading forth two wings unto the place of the ark, and the cherubs cover over the ark, and over its staves from above;
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 lengthen the staves, and the heads of the staves are seen from the holy [place] on the front of the oracle, and are not seen without, and they are there unto 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.
There is nothing in the ark, only the two tables of stone which Moses put there in Horeb, when Jehovah covenanted with the sons of Israel in their going out of the land of Egypt.
10 Mgbe ndị nchụaja si nʼEbe Nsọ ahụ pụta, igwe ojii jupụtara ụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị ahụ.
And it cometh to pass, in the going out of the priests from the holy [place], that the cloud hath filled the house of Jehovah,
11 Ndị nchụaja enwekwaghị ike jee ozi ha, nʼihi igwe ojii ahụ, nʼihi na ebube Onyenwe anyị jupụtara nʼime ụlọnsọ ya.
and the priests have not been able to stand to minister because of the cloud, for the honour of Jehovah hath filled the house of Jehovah.
12 Mgbe ahụ, Solomọn sịrị, “Onyenwe anyị ekwuola na ọ ga-ebi nʼoke igwe ojii.
Then said Solomon, 'Jehovah hath said to dwell in thick darkness;
13 Ma nʼezie, ewuola m ụlọnsọ pụrụ iche, maa mma nye gị, ebe ị ga-ebi ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.”
I have surely built a house of habitation for Thee; a fixed place for Thine abiding to the ages.'
14 Dịka ọgbakọ Izrel niile na-eguzo nʼebe ahụ, eze chigharịrị onwe ya chee ha ihu, gọzie ha.
And the king turneth round his face, and blesseth the whole assembly of Israel; and all the assembly of Israel is standing.
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 saith, 'Blessed [is] Jehovah, God of Israel, who spake by His mouth with David my father, and by His hand hath 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.’
From the day that I brought out My people, even Israel, from Egypt, I have not fixed on a city out of all the tribes of Israel, to build a house for My name being there; and I fix on David to be over My people Israel.
17 “Nna m, Devid bu nʼobi iwu ụlọnsọ ukwu nye Aha Onyenwe anyị, bụ Chineke nke Izrel.
'And it is with the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of Jehovah, God of Israel,
18 Ma Onyenwe anyị sịrị nna m, Devid, ‘I mere nke ọma ibu nʼobi iwu ụlọnsọ ukwu nye Aha m.
and Jehovah saith unto David my father, Because that it hath been with thy heart to build a house for My name, thou hast done well that it hath been with thy heart;
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.’
only, thou dost not build the house, but thy son who is coming out from thy loins, he doth build the house for 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 Jehovah doth establish His word which He spake, and I am risen up instead of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as Jehovah spake, and build the house for the name of Jehovah, 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 set there a place for the ark, where [is] the covenant of Jehovah which He made with our fathers in His bringing them out from the land 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,
And Solomon standeth before the altar of Jehovah, over-against all the assembly of Israel, and spreadeth his hands towards the heavens,
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 saith, 'Jehovah, God of Israel, there is not a God like Thee, in the heavens above, and on the earth beneath, keeping the covenant and the kindness for Thy servants, those walking before Thee with all their heart,

who hast kept for Thy servant David my father that which Thou spakest to him; yea, Thou speakest with Thy mouth, and with Thy hand hast fulfilled [it], as [at] 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.’
'And now, Jehovah, God of Israel, keep for Thy servant David my father that which Thou spakest to him, saying, There is not cut off to thee a man from before Me, sitting on the throne of Israel — only, if thy sons watch their way, to walk before Me as thou hast walked before Me.
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 now, O God of Israel, let it be established, I pray Thee, Thy word which Thou hast spoken to Thy servant, David my father.

'Then thou hast turned unto the prayer of Thy servant, and unto his supplication, O Jehovah my God, to hearken unto the cry and unto the prayer which Thy servant is praying before Thee to-day,

'Then Thou hast hearkened unto the supplication of Thy servant, and of Thy people Israel, which they pray towards this place; yea, Thou dost hearken in the place of Thy dwelling, in the heavens — and Thou hast hearkened, and hast forgiven,
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.

And it cometh to pass, at Solomon's finishing to pray unto Jehovah all this prayer and supplication, he hath risen from before the altar of Jehovah, from bending on his knees, and his hands spread out to the heavens,
55 O guzoro gọzie ọgbakọ Izrel niile, gwa ha okwu nʼoke olu sị ha,

'Blessed [is] Jehovah who hath given rest to His people Israel, according to all that He hath spoken; there hath not fallen one word of all His good word, which He spake by the hand of Moses his servant.

62 Mgbe ahụ, eze ya na ndị Izrel niile chụrụ aja dị iche iche nʼihu Onyenwe anyị.
And the king and all Israel with him are sacrificing a sacrifice before Jehovah;

and Solomon sacrificeth the sacrifice of peace-offerings, which he hath sacrificed to Jehovah, oxen, twenty and two thousand, and sheep, a hundred and twenty thousand; and the king and all the sons of Israel dedicate the house of Jehovah.

On that day hath the king sanctified the middle of the court that [is] before the house of Jehovah, for he hath made there the burnt-offering, and the present, and the fat of the peace-offerings; for the altar of brass that [is] before Jehovah [is] too little to contain the burnt-offering, and the present, and the fat of the peace-offerings.

And Solomon maketh, at that time, the festival — and all Israel with him, a great assembly from the entering in of Hamath unto the brook of Egypt — before Jehovah our God, seven days and seven days; fourteen days.

On the eighth day he hath sent the people away, and they bless the king, and go to their tents, rejoicing and glad of heart for all the good that Jehovah hath done to David His servant, and to Israel His people.
