2 Cronicas 6
1 Kalpasanna, kinuna ni Solomon, “Kinuna ni Yahweh nga agnaed isuna iti napuskol a kasipngetan,
Then Solomon said, “Yahweh, you said that you would live in a dark cloud.
2 ngem impatakderanka iti maysa a nadaeg a pagtaengam, maysa a disso a pagnaedam iti agnanayon.”
But now I have built a glorious temple for you to live in forever!”
3 Kalpasanna, timallikud ti ari ket binendisionanna amin a taripnong ti Israel, bayat nga agtaktakder amin a taripnong ti Israel.
Then while all the people stood there, Solomon turned toward the people and he [asked God to] bless them.
4 Kinunana, “Madaydayaw koma ni Yahweh a Dios ti Israel, a nagsao kenni David nga amak, ken nangtungpal iti daytoy babaen kadagiti bukodna nga ima, a kinunana,
He said to them, “Praise Yahweh, the God to whom we Israelis belong, who has caused to happen what he promised to my father David. What he said to David was this:
5 'Sipud pay iti aldaw nga inruarko dagiti tattaok iti daga ti Egipto, awan ti pinilik a siudad manipud kadagiti amin a tribu ti Israel a pangipatakderan iti maysa a balay, tapno adda sadiay ti naganko. Awan met ti siasinoman a pinilik nga agbalin a prinsipe dagiti tattaok nga Israel.
‘From the time that I brought my people out of Egypt, I have never chosen a city in Israel in which a temple should be built for people to [worship] me there. Nor did I choose anyone to be the leader of my Israeli people.
6 Nupay kasta, pinilik ti Jerusalem tapno adda sadiay ti naganko, ken pinilik ni David a mangituray kadagiti tattaok nga Israel.'
But now I have chosen Jerusalem to be the place for people to worship me, and I have chosen you to rule my Israeli people.’”
7 Ita adda iti puso ni David nga amak, ti mangipatakder iti maysa a balay para iti nagan ni Yahweh a Dios ti Israel.
[Then Solomon said], “My father David wanted to build a temple for Yahweh, the God to whom we Israelis belong.
8 Ngem kuna ni Yahweh kenni David nga amak, 'Iti dayta nga adda iti pusom a mangipatakder iti maysa a balay para iti naganko, nasayaat ti inaramidmo nga adda iti pusom.
But Yahweh said to him, ‘You have wanted to build a temple for me, and what you wanted to do was good.
9 Nupay kasta, saanmo a rumbeng nga ipatakder ti balay; ngem ketdi, ti putotmo a lalaki, nga agtaudto kadagita lumom, ti mangipatakderto iti balay para iti naganko.'
However, you are not the one who I want to build the temple; it is one of your own sons who [I want to] build a temple for me.’
10 Tinungpal ni Yahweh ti sao a kinunana, ta timmakderak a kasukat ni David nga amak, ket nagtugawak iti trono ti Israel, a kas inkari ni Yahweh. Impatakderko ti balay para iti nagan ni Yahweh a Dios ti Israel.
“And Yahweh has done what he promised to do. I have become the king of Israel to succeed my father, and I am ruling the people, like Yahweh promised, and I have arranged for this temple to be built for us to worship Yahweh, the God to whom we Israelis belong.
11 Inkabilko ti lakasa ti tulag sadiay, nga ayan ti katulagan ni Yahweh, nga inaramidna kadagiti tattao ti Israel.”
I have put the Sacred Chest in the temple, in which are the stone tablets [on which are engraved the Ten Commandments of] the agreement that Yahweh made with us Israeli people.”
12 Timmakder ni Solomon iti sangoanan ti altar ni Yahweh iti imatang ti amin a taripnong ti Israel, ket intag-ayna dagiti imana.
Then Solomon stood in front of the altar which was in front of the people of Israel who had gathered there.
13 Ta nangaramid isuna iti plataporma a bronse, lima a kubit ti kaatiddogna, lima a kubit ti kalawa ken tallo a kubit ti kangatona. Ingkabilna daytoy iti tengnga ti paraangan. Nagtakder iti rabaw daytoy ken nagparintumeng iti sangoanan ti amin a taripnong ti Israel ket intag-ayna dagiti imana.
His workers had built a bronze platform there [for him to stand on], which was 7-1/2 feet long and 7-1/2 feet wide and 4-1/2 feet high. They put it in the outer courtyard. Solomon stood on that platform and then knelt down in front of all the people of Israel who had gathered there, and he spread out his arms toward heaven,
14 Kinunana, “O Yahweh a Dios ti Israel, awan ti Dios a kas kenka kadagiti langit wenno ditoy rabaw ti daga, a mangsalsalimetmet kadagiti tulag ken kinapudno iti tulag kadagiti adipenmo nga agtultulnog iti amin a pusoda;
and he prayed, “Yahweh, the God to whom we Israeli people belong, there is no God like you in heaven or on the earth. You solemnly promised that you would faithfully love us, and that is what you have done for us who earnestly do what you want us to do.
15 sika a nangtungpal iti inkarim iti adipenmo a ni David, nga amak. Wen, nagsaoka kadagiti ngiwatmo ket tinungpalmo daytoy babaen iti imam, a kas iti daytoy nga aldaw.
“You have done the things that you promised my father David, who served you [very well], that you would do. Truly, you promised to do those things for him, and today we see that by your power you have caused it all to happen.
16 Ket ita O Yahweh, a Dios ti Israel, tungpalem ti inkarim iti adipenmo a ni David nga amak, idi kinunana, 'Agtultuloy nga adda maysa a tao iti imatangko ti agtugaw iti trono ti Israel, no laketdi ta agtulnog a sipapasnek dagiti kaputotam kadagiti lintegko, a kas iti panagtulnogmo iti sangoanak.'
“So now, Yahweh, the God we Israelis belong to, please do the things that you promised to my father David that you would do. You said that there would always be some of his descendants to rule Israel, if they faithfully conduct their lives as he did.
17 Ita ngarud, O Dios ti Israel, ikararagko a matungpal koma ti inkarim iti adipenmo a ni David.
So now, God of us Israeli people, cause what you promised David, who served you [well], to happen.
18 Ngem pudno kadi a makipagnaedto ti Dios kadagiti tattao ditoy daga? Kitaem, ti entero a sangalubongan ken ti langit a mismo ket saandaka a malaon—ad-adda a basbassit daytoy a templo nga impatakderko!
“But, my God, will you really live on earth among people? There is surely not enough space for you in the sky, or even in the heaven! So there is surely not enough space for you to live in this temple that my workers have built.
19 Ngem pangaasim ta patgam koma daytoy a kararag ken dawat ti adipenmo, O Yahweh a Diosko; denggem ti asug ken kararag nga ikarkararag dagiti adipenmo iti sangoanam.
But Yahweh, my God, please listen to my prayer, while I am pleading with you this day and do what I am requesting.
20 Silulukat koma dagiti matam iti daytoy a templo iti aldaw ken rabii, iti lugar a kinunam nga adda koma sadiay ti naganmo tapno denggem dagiti kararag ti adipenmo nga agkararagto iti daytoy a disso.
Please protect this temple day and night. This is the place about which you have said, ‘I will always be there.’ Please listen to my prayer about this place.
21 Isu a denggem koma dagiti kiddaw ti adipenmo ken dagiti tattaom nga Israel inton agkararagkami a nakasango iti daytoy a disso. Wen, denggem manipud iti disso a pagnanaedam, manipud kadagiti langit; ket inton denggem, mamakawanka.
Listen to me when I pray, and listen to your Israeli people when they pray. Listen from heaven, where you live; and when you hear us pray, forgive us.
22 No makabasol ti maysa a tao a maibusor iti kaarrubana ket masapul nga agsapata, ket no umay isuna ken agsapata iti sangoanan ti altarmo iti daytoy a balay,
“If someone is accused of doing something wrong to another person, and they bring him to testify in front of your altar outside this holy temple, and if he says, ‘I did not do that; may God punish me if I am not telling the truth,’
23 denggem ngarud manipud kadagiti langit ket agtignay ken ukomem dagiti adipenmo, supapakam ti nadangkes, tapno agballatek kenkuana ti aramidna. Ket ipakaammom a nalinteg ti awan basolna, tapno maikkan isuna iti gunggona gapu iti kinalintegna.
then you listen from heaven, and you decide who is telling the truth. Then punish the person who is guilty as he deserves to be punished, and declare that the other person is innocent.
24 No dagiti tattaom nga Israel ket pinarmek ti kabusor gapu ta nagbasolda kenka, no agsublida kenka, raemenda ti naganmo, agkararag ken agkiddawda iti pammakawan iti sangoanam iti daytoy a templo—
“And when your Israeli people are defeated by their enemies because they sinned against you, [and forced to go to some distant country, ] if they turn away from their sinful behavior and turn toward this temple and admit [that] you [have justly punished them], and plead [that you will forgive them],
25 ket denggem koma manipud kadagiti langit ken pakawanem ti basol dagiti tattaom nga Israel; isublim ida iti daga nga intedmo kadakuada ken kadagiti kapuonanda.
listen to them from heaven and forgive your Israeli people for the sins that they [have committed], and bring them back to this land that you gave to our ancestors.
26 No agrikep dagiti tangatang ket awan ti tudo gapu ta nagbasol dagiti tattao kenka—no agkararagda a nakasango iti daytoy a disso, raemenda ti naganmo, ket isardengda dagiti basolda inton parigatem ida—
“When you do not allow any rain to fall because your people have sinned against you, if they turn toward this temple and admit [that] you [have justly punished them], and turn away from their sinful behavior and humbly pray to you,
27 ket denggem koma dita langit ken pakawanem ti basol dagiti adipenmo ken dagiti tattaom nga Israel, inton idalanmo ida iti nasayaat a dalan a rumbeng a pagnaanda. Pagtudoem iti dagam, nga intedmo kadagiti tattaom, a kas tawidda.
hear from heaven and forgive the sins of your Israeli people. Teach them the right way to conduct their lives. Then cause it to rain here on the land that you gave to your people to belong to them [permanently].
28 No kas pangarigan adda bisin iti dayta a daga, wenno kas pangarigan ta adda sakit, kebbet wenno buot, dagiti dudon wenno igges; wenno kas pangarigan ta rauten dagiti kabusor dagiti ruangan iti dagada, wenno adda didigra wenno sakit—
“And when the people of this land experience famines or if there is a plague, or when their crops are destroyed by very hot winds or by mildew or by locusts or grasshoppers, or when their enemies surround any of their cities [in order to attack them], if any of those bad things happen to them,
29 ket kas pangarigan ta agkarkararag ken dumawdawat ti maysa a tao wenno dagiti amin a tattaom nga Israel—a bigbigen ti tunggal maysa ti didigra ken ladingit iti bukodna a puso bayat iti panangitag-ayna kadagiti imana a nakasango iti templo.
when your Israeli people earnestly plead with you, knowing in their inner beings that they are suffering [because they have sinned], if they stretch out their hands toward this temple and pray,
30 Ket denggem koma manipud langit, ti lugar a pagnanaedam; pakawanem ken gunggonaam ti tunggal tao segun kadagiti amin a wagasna; ammom ti pusona, gapu ta Sika ken Sika laeng ti makaammo kadagiti puso dagiti tattao.
hear from your home in heaven, and forgive them. You alone know what each person is thinking, so reward each person according to everything that he does,
31 Aramidem daytoy tapno agbutengda kenka, tapno agtulnogda kadagiti wagasmo iti amin nga aldaw iti panagbiagda iti rabaw ti daga nga intedmo kadagiti kapuonanmi.
in order that they will revere you and conduct their lives as you want them to, all the time that they live in this land that you gave to our ancestors.
32 Maysa pay, maipapan kadagiti ganggannaet a saan a maibilang kadagiti tattaom nga Israel: no aggapu isuna iti adayo a pagilian gapu iti naindaklan a naganmo, ti nabileg nga imam, ken ti nakangato a takkiagmo; inton umayda ket agkararagda a nakasango iti daytoy a balay—
“There will be some foreigners who do not belong to your Israeli people who have come here from countries far away because they have heard that you are very great and that you perform great miracles. If they turn toward this temple and pray,
33 denggem koma ngarud manipud kadagiti langit, a lugar a pagnanaedam, ket aramidem ti aniaman a kidkiddawen kenka ti ganggannaet, tapno maammoan dagiti amin a bunggoy dagiti tattao iti rabaw ti daga ti naganmo, tapno agbutengda kenka, a kas kadagiti tattaom nga Israel, ken tapno maammoanda daytoy a balay nga impatakderko a naawagan babaen iti naganmo.
from your home in heaven listen to their prayer, and do for them what they request you to do. Do that in order that all the people-groups in the world will know about you and revere you, like we, your own Israeli people do. And then they will know that this is the temple that I have caused to be built for you.
34 No kas pangarigan ta mapan makigubat dagiti tattaom kadagiti kabusorda, babaen iti aniaman a wagas a panangibaonmo kadakuada, ket kas pangarigan ta agkararagda kenka a nakasango iti daytoy a siudad a pinilim, ken nakasango iti balay a binangonko para iti naganmo.
“When you send your people to go to places to attack their enemies, if they pray to you, wherever they are, if they turn toward this city that you have chosen and toward this temple that I have caused to be built to honor you,
35 Ket denggem koma manipud kadagiti langit dagiti kararagda, dagiti kiddawda, ket pagballigiem ida kadagiti dawatda.
listen in heaven to their prayers; listen to what they plead for you [to do], and assist them.
36 No kas pangarigan ta agbasolda kenka—agsipud ta awan ti tao a saan nga agbasol—ken no kas pangarigan ta makaungetka kadakuada ket iyawatmo ida kadagiti kabusorda, tapno iyadayo ida dagiti kabusorda ken italawda ida a kas balud iti dagada, iti adayo man wenno iti asideg.
[“It is true that] everyone sins. So, when your people sin against you, and you become angry with them, you may allow their enemies to capture them and take them to their countries, even to countries that are far away.
37 Ket no kas pangarigan ta maamirisda nga addada iti daga a nakaitalawanda, ket kas pangarigan ta agbabawida ken dumawatda iti pabor manipud kenka iti daga a nakaibaludanda. No kas pangarigan ta ibagada, 'Nagaramidkami kadagiti dinadakes ken nagbasolkami. Dakes ti inar-aramidmi.'
When that happens, while they are in the countries to which they were forced to go, if they are sorry for having sinned, if they say, ‘We have sinned; we have done things that are wrong and have done things that are very wicked,’
38 No kas pangarigan ta agsublida kenka iti amin a pusoda ken iti amin a kararuada iti daga a nakaibaludanda, a nangipananda kadakuada a kas balud, ken no kas pangarigan ta agkararagda a nakasango iti dagada nga intedmo kadagiti kapuonanda, ken sumangoda iti dayta a siudad a pinilim, ken sumangoda iti balay nga impatakderko para iti naganmo.
if they repent very sincerely, and if they turn toward this land that you gave to our ancestors, and toward this city that you have chosen [to be the place where we should worship you], and toward this temple that I have caused to be built for you and pray,
39 Ket denggem koma manipud kadagiti langit, a lugar a pagnanaedam, dagiti kararag ken dagiti kiddawda, ken pagballigiem ida. Pakawanem dagiti tattaom, a nagbasol kenka.
then from your home in heaven hear their prayer, and listen to them while they plead [for your help], and do what they ask you to do, and forgive your people who have sinned against you.
40 Ita, O Diosko, ipakpakaasik kenka, imulagatmo koma dagiti matam, ket denggen koma dagiti lapayagmo dagiti maikararag iti daytoy a disso.
“Now, my God, look at us and listen to us as we pray to you in this place.
41 Tumakderka ngarud ita, O Yahweh a Dios, iti pagin-inanaam a disso, sika ken ti lakasa ti pannakabalinmo. O Yahweh a Dios, makawesan koma iti pannakaisalakan dagiti papadim, ken agrag-o koma dagiti sasantom iti kinaimbagmo.
Yahweh our God, come and stay in this place with the Sacred Chest, the chest that shows that you are powerful. Yahweh God, cause your priests to know clearly that you have blessed them. Cause us your people to rejoice because of all the good things [that you do for us].
42 O Yahweh a Dios, saanmo kadi a laksiden dagiti pinulotam. Laglagipem ti kinapudnom iti tulagmo kenni David nga adipenmo.”
Yahweh God, do not reject me [the king] whom you have appointed [to be the king of Israel]; do not forget that you greatly loved David, who served you [very well].”
