Sie Tokosra 8

1 Na Tokosra Solomon el pangonma mwet kol nukewa lun sruf ac ota lun Israel nu yorol nu Jerusalem, elos in tuh usla Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD liki acn Zion, Siti sel David, nu in Tempul.

At that time Solomon assembled before him in Jerusalem the elders of Israel—all the tribal heads and family leaders of the Israelites—to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD from Zion, the City of David.

2 Elos nukewa fahsreni ke pacl in Kufwen Iwen Aktuktuk ke malem akitkosr, su malem Ethanim.

And all the men of Israel came together to King Solomon at the feast in the seventh month, the month of Ethanim.

3 Ke mwet kol uh nukewa fahsreni, na mwet tol elos srukak Tuptup in Wuleang

When all the elders of Israel had arrived, the priests took up the ark,

4 ac usla nu in Tempul. Mwet Levi ac mwet tol elos oayapa moklela Lohm Nuknuk sin LEUM GOD ac kufwa nukewa kac, nu in Tempul.

and they brought up the ark of the LORD and the Tent of Meeting with all its sacred furnishings. So the priests and Levites carried them up.

5 Tokosra Solomon ac mwet Israel nukewa tukeni nu ye mutun Tuptup in Wuleang, ac kisakin sheep ac cow arulana pus, tia ku in oaoala.

There, before the ark, King Solomon and the whole congregation of Israel who had assembled with him sacrificed so many sheep and oxen that they could not be counted or numbered.

6 Na mwet tol elos usla Tuptup in Wuleang nu in Tempul, ac likiya in Acn Mutal Na Mutal ye cherub luo.

Then the priests brought the ark of the covenant of the LORD to its place in the inner sanctuary of the temple, the Most Holy Place, beneath the wings of the cherubim.

7 Posohksok lun cherub inge asrosrelik ac sunya tuptup sac ac srenenu usyen tuptup sac.

For the cherubim spread their wings over the place of the ark and overshadowed the ark and its poles.

8 Mwet se fin tu suwosna nu mutun Acn Mutal Na Mutal, el ac ku in liye pukun srenenu inge, tusruktu el tia ku in liye el fin tu ke kutena acn saya. (Srenenu inge oasr na we nwe misenge.)

The poles extended far enough that their ends were visible from the Holy Place in front of the inner sanctuary, but not from outside the Holy Place; and they are there to this day.

9 Wangin ma oan in Tuptup in Wuleang sayen eot luo ma Moses el tuh likiya loac Fineol Sinai, ke LEUM GOD El orala wulela se yurin mwet Israel tukun elos illa liki acn Egypt.

There was nothing in the ark except the two stone tablets that Moses had placed in it at Horeb, where the LORD had made a covenant with the Israelites after they had come out of the land of Egypt.

10 Ke mwet tol elos illa liki Tempul uh, na kitin pacl ah na pukunyeng se nwakla in Tempul uh,

And when the priests came out of the Holy Place, the cloud filled the house of the LORD

11 ac kalem kac sarmelik ke wolana lun LEUM GOD, pwanang elos tia ku in folokyak in oru ma kunalos.

so that the priests could not stand there to minister because of the cloud; for the glory of the LORD filled the house of the LORD.

12 Na Solomon el pre ac fahk, “LEUM GOD, kom orala faht uh, A kom sulela in muta in acn lohsr matoltol.

Then Solomon declared: “The LORD has said that He would dwell in the thick cloud.

13 Inge, nga musaela sie tempul wolana nu sum, Sie acn kom in muta we nwe tok.”

I have indeed built You an exalted house, a place for You to dwell forever.”

14 Ke mwet uh tu insac, Tokosra Solomon el forang nu selos, ac el siyuk tuh God Elan akinsewowoyalos.

And as the whole assembly of Israel stood there, the king turned around and blessed them all

15 El fahk, “Kaksakin LEUM GOD lun Israel! El oru oana wuleang ma El orala nu sel David, papa tumuk, ke El tuh fahk nu sel,

and said: “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who has fulfilled with His own hand what He spoke with His mouth to my father David, saying,

16 ‘Oe ke pacl se nga tuh use mwet luk liki acn Egypt nwe misenge, nga tiana sulela sie siti in acn Israel nufon in musaela sie tempul, yen mwet uh in alu nu sik we. A nga tuh sulekomla, David, in leum fin mwet luk.’”

‘Since the day I brought My people Israel out of Egypt, I have not chosen a city from any tribe of Israel in which to build a house so that My Name would be there. But I have chosen David to be over My people Israel.’

17 Ac Solomon el tafwela ac fahk, “David, papa tumuk, el tuh nunku elan musai sie tempul tuh in nien alu nu sin LEUM GOD lun Israel,

Now it was in the heart of my father David to build a house for the Name of the LORD, the God of Israel.

18 tuh pa LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel, ‘Pwaye sum in lungse musaela sie tempul nu sik,

But the LORD said to my father David, ‘Since it was in your heart to build a house for My Name, you have done well to have this in your heart.

19 tusruktu kom ac tiana musai, a wen se nutum su ma nutum na pwaye, pa ac musai sie tempul sik.’

Nevertheless, you are not the one to build it; but your son, your own offspring, will build the house for My Name.’

20 “Ac inge LEUM GOD El akpwayeye wulela lal. Nga aolla papa tumuk in tokosra lun Israel, ac nga musaela Tempul uh tuh in nien alu nu sin LEUM GOD lun Israel.

Now the LORD has fulfilled the word that He spoke. I have succeeded my father David, and I sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised. I have built the house for the Name of the LORD, the God of Israel.

21 Ac nga oayapa akoela sie acn in Tempul nu ke Tuptup in Wuleang, su nein eot luo ma simla wuleang su LEUM GOD El orala yurin mwet matu lasr ke El usalosme liki acn Egypt.”

And there I have provided a place for the ark, which contains the covenant of the LORD that He made with our fathers when He brought them out of the land of Egypt.”

22 Na Solomon el som ac tu mutun loang sac ye mutun mwet Israel nukewa, ac el sralak paol

Then Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in front of the whole assembly of Israel, spread out his hands toward heaven,

23 ac pre ac fahk, “O LEUM GOD lun Israel, wangin sie god oana kom in kusrao lucng ku fin faclu ten! Kom liyaung wuleang lom nu sin mwet lom, ac akkalemye lungse lom nu selos ke pacl elos akos kom ke insialos nufon.

and said: “O LORD, God of Israel, there is no God like You in heaven above or on earth below, keeping Your covenant of loving devotion with Your servants who walk before You with all their hearts.

24 Kom sruokyana wulela lom nu sel David, papa tumuk, ac misenge kas nukewa akpwayeyuk.

You have kept Your promise to Your servant, my father David. What You spoke with Your mouth You have fulfilled with Your hand this day.

25 Ac inge, LEUM GOD lun Israel, nga pre tuh kom in oayapa liyaung wulela se saya ma kom tuh orala nu sin papa tumuk ke kom fahk nu sel mu sie sin tulik natul pa ac tokosra fin acn Israel in pacl nukewa, elos fin oaru na in akos kom oana el tuh oru.

Therefore now, O LORD, God of Israel, keep for Your servant, my father David, what You promised when You said: ‘You will never fail to have a man to sit before Me on the throne of Israel, if only your descendants guard their way to walk before Me as you have done.’

26 Ouinge, O LEUM GOD lun Israel, lela ma nukewa ma kom tuh wulela nu sin mwet kulansap lom, David papa tumuk, in akpwayeyuk.

And now, O God of Israel, please confirm what You promised to Your servant, my father David.

27 “Tusruktu, LEUM GOD, ya pwaye kom ku in muta fin faclu? Finne yohk acn inkusrao a koflana neinkomyak, na fuka tuh Tempul se nga musaela inge in fal nu sum?

But will God indeed dwell upon the earth? Even heaven, the highest heaven, cannot contain You, much less this temple I have built.

28 LEUM GOD luk, nga mwet kulansap lom. Porongo pre luk, ac topuk mwe siyuk luk nu sum misenge.

Yet regard the prayer and plea of Your servant, O LORD my God, so that You may hear the cry and the prayer that Your servant is praying before You today.

29 Karingin Tempul se inge ke len ac fong, acn se su kom sulela mwet uh in alu nu sum we. Porongeyu ke nga ac forang nu ke Tempul se inge ac pre.

May Your eyes be open toward this temple night and day, toward the place of which You said, ‘My Name shall be there,’ so that You may hear the prayer that Your servant prays toward this place.

30 Lohng pre luk, ac pre lun mwet lom ke elos ac forang nu ke acn se inge ac pre. Porongekut ke kom muta in acn sum inkusrao, ac nunak munas nu sesr.

Hear the plea of Your servant and of Your people Israel when they pray toward this place. May You hear from heaven, Your dwelling place. May You hear and forgive.

31 “Fin oasr fahkya mu sie mwet el orala ma koluk nu sin sie pac mwet, ac utuku el nu ye mutun loang lom in Tempul se inge tuh elan orala fulahk lal lah wangin mwatal,

When a man sins against his neighbor and is required to take an oath, and he comes to take an oath before Your altar in this temple,

32 O LEUM GOD, lohng inkusrao me. Nununku mwet kulansap lom inge. Sang kalyei nu sel su fal in kalyeiyuk ke sripen ma koluk el orala, ac aksukosokyela mwet se su wangin mwatal.

then may You hear from heaven and act. May You judge Your servants, condemning the wicked man by bringing down on his own head what he has done, and justifying the righteous man by rewarding him according to his righteousness.

33 “Ke pacl mwet lom Israel kutangyukla sin mwet lokoalok lalos ke sripen elos oru ma koluk lain kom, na elos fin forla ac auliyak, ac tuku nu ke Tempul se inge ac pre nu sum ke inse pusisel tuh kom in nunak munas nu selos,

When Your people Israel are defeated before an enemy because they have sinned against You, and they return to You and confess Your name, praying and pleading with You in this temple,

34 nga siyuk tuh kom in lohng mwe siyuk lalos inkusrao me. Nunak munas ke ma koluk lun mwet lom, ac folokunulosme nu in acn se ma kom tuh sang nu sin mwet matu lalos.

then may You hear from heaven and forgive the sin of Your people Israel. May You restore them to the land You gave to their fathers.

35 “Ke pacl kom sruokya af lom mweyen mwet lom oru ma koluk lain kom, na elos fin auliyak ac forma nu ke Tempul se inge ac pre nu sum ke inse pusisel tuh kom in nunak munas nu selos,

When the skies are shut and there is no rain because Your people have sinned against You, and they pray toward this place and confess Your name, and they turn from their sins because You have afflicted them,

36 lipsre pre lalos inkusrao me. Nunak munas ke ma koluk lun tokosra ac lun mwet Israel, ac luti nu selos in oru ma suwohs. Na kom, O LEUM GOD, fah supwama af nu fin facl se sum inge, su kom sang nu sin mwet lom tuh in mwe usru lalos nwe tok.

then may You hear from heaven and forgive the sin of Your servants, Your people Israel, so that You may teach them the good way in which they should walk. May You send rain on the land that You gave Your people as an inheritance.

37 “Ke pacl in sracl, ku mas upa sikyak fin acn uh, ku fokin acn uh musalla ke eng ac fol upa ac un locust, ku ke pacl mwet lokoalok elos mweuni mwet lom, ku elos maskin mas keok,

When famine or plague comes upon the land, or blight or mildew or locusts or grasshoppers, or when their enemy besieges them in their cities, whatever plague or sickness may come,

38 porongo pre lalos. Fin oasr inmasrlon mwet lom mwet Israel, su pulakunak asor na pwaye, ac asroeot paolos nu ke Tempul se inge ac pre nu sum,

then may whatever prayer or petition Your people Israel make—each knowing his own afflictions and spreading out his hands toward this temple—

39 lohng pre lalos. Porongalos in acn sum inkusrao, ac nunak munas nu selos ac kasrelos. Kom mukena pa etu nunak su oan insien mwet uh. Oru nu sin kais sie mwet fal nu ke orekma lal,

be heard by You from heaven, Your dwelling place. And may You forgive and act, and repay each man according to all his ways, since You know his heart—for You alone know the hearts of all men—

40 tuh mwet lom fah ku in akos kom in pacl nukewa ke elos muta fin facl se su kom sang nu sin mwet matu lasr.

so that they may fear You all the days they live in the land that You gave to our fathers.

41 “Ac oayapa, ke pacl sie mwetsac el tuku liki sie acn loessula ke sripen pweng keim,

And as for the foreigner who is not of Your people Israel but has come from a distant land because of Your name—

42 ac el forma nu ke Tempul se inge ac pre nu sum, mweyen el lohng ke Ine kulana lom ac ma sakirik puspis kom oru nu sin mwet lom,

for they will hear of Your great name and mighty hand and outstretched arm—when he comes and prays toward this temple,

43 lohng pre lal. Lohng mwe siyuk lal yen kom muta we inkusrao, na mwet nukewa faclu fah etekom ac akos kom, oana ke mwet Israel lom elos oru. Na elos fah etu lah Tempul se nga musaela inge pa acn mwet uh in alu nu sum we.

then may You hear from heaven, Your dwelling place, and do according to all for which the foreigner calls to You. Then all the peoples of the earth will know Your name and fear You, as do Your people Israel, and they will know that this house I have built is called by Your Name.

44 “Ke pacl kom sapkin nu sin mwet lom in som nu ke mweun lain mwet lokoalok lalos, ac elos pre nu sum in kutena acn elos oasr we, ac elos forma nu ke siti se inge su kom sulela, ac nu ke Tempul se inge su nga musaela nu sum,

When Your people go to war against their enemies, wherever You send them, and when they pray to the LORD in the direction of the city You have chosen and the house I have built for Your Name,

45 lohng pre lalos. Porongalos inkusrao me, ac sang kutangla nu selos.

then may You hear from heaven their prayer and their plea, and may You uphold their cause.

46 “Ke pacl mwet lom oru ma koluk lain kom (aok, wangin sie mwet tia oru ma koluk) na ke sripen kom kasrkusrak selos kom sang mwet lokoalok lalos in kutangulosla ac usalosla in mwet kapir nu in facl saya, facl sac finne oan loesla,

When they sin against You—for there is no one who does not sin—and You become angry with them and deliver them to an enemy who takes them as captives to his own land, whether far or near,

47 porongo pre lun mwet lom. Elos finne muta in acn sacn, a elos fin auliyak ac pre nu sum ac fahkak lupan koluk lalos su arulana yohk, O LEUM GOD, lohng pre lalos.

and when they come to their senses in the land to which they were taken, and they repent and plead with You in the land of their captors, saying, ‘We have sinned and done wrong; we have acted wickedly,’

48 In facl se ingo, elos fin auliyak ke inse pwaye ac pre nu sum, ac forma nu ke facl se inge su kom sang nu sin mwet matu lasr, aok siti se inge su kom sulela, ac Tempul se su nga musaela nu sum inge,

and when they return to You with all their heart and soul in the land of the enemies who took them captive, and when they pray to You in the direction of the land that You gave to their fathers, the city You have chosen, and the house I have built for Your Name,

49 na lohng pre lalos. Porongalos yen sum inkusrao, ac pakoten nu selos.

then may You hear from heaven, Your dwelling place, their prayer and petition, and may You uphold their cause.

50 Nunak munas nu selos ke ma koluk lalos ac ma nukewa elos oru lain kom, ac oru tuh mwet lokoalok lalos in kulang nu selos.

May You forgive Your people who have sinned against You and all the transgressions they have committed against You, and may You grant them compassion in the eyes of their captors to show them mercy.

51 Elos mwet na lom, su kom use liki acn Egypt, sie acn su arulana fol, oana sie funyu.

For they are Your people and Your inheritance; You brought them out of Egypt, out of the furnace for iron.

52 “LEUM GOD Fulatlana, lela kom in ngetnget kulang nu sin mwet lom Israel ac tokosra lalos in pacl nukewa, ac lohng pre lalos ke pacl nukewa elos pang nu sum tuh kom in kasrelos.

May Your eyes be open to the pleas of Your servant and of Your people Israel, and may You listen to them whenever they call to You.

53 Kom sulelosla liki inmasrlon mwet nukewa tuh elos in mwet lom sifacna, oana ke kom akkalemye nu selos sel Moses, mwet kulansap lom, in pacl se kom use mwet matu lasr liki acn Egypt.”

For You, O Lord GOD, as Your inheritance, have set them apart from all the peoples of the earth, as You spoke through Your servant Moses when You brought our fathers out of Egypt.”

54 Tukun Solomon el aksafyela pre lal nu sin LEUM GOD, el tuyak mutun loang sac, yen se na ma el tuh sikukmutunte ac sralak paol we.

Now when Solomon had finished praying this entire prayer and petition to the LORD, he got up before the altar of the LORD, where he had been kneeling with his hands spread out toward heaven.

55 El siyuk ke sie pusra lulap tuh God Elan akinsewowoye mwet nukewa su tukeni in acn sac. El fahk,

And he stood and blessed the whole assembly of Israel in a loud voice, saying:

56 “Kaksakin LEUM GOD, su asang misla nu sin mwet lal oana El tuh wulela kac. El liyaung na wulela wolana lal nukewa su El tuh fahkak nu sel Moses, mwet kulansap lal.

“Blessed be the LORD, who has given rest to His people Israel according to all that He promised. Not one word has failed of all the good promises He made through His servant Moses.

57 Lela LEUM GOD lasr in wi kut na, oana ke El tuh wi mwet matu lasr. Lela Elan tia fahsr liki kut, ku siskutla.

May the LORD our God be with us, as He was with our fathers. May He never leave us nor forsake us.

58 Lela Elan oru kut in aksol, tuh kut in ku in moul fal nu ke ma lungse lal pacl nukewa, ac kut in moulkin ac liyaung ma sap lal ac oakwuk lal su el sang nu sin mwet matu lasr.

May He incline our hearts to Himself, to walk in all His ways and to keep the commandments and statutes and ordinances He commanded our fathers.

59 Lela tuh LEUM GOD lasr in esam pre se inge, oayapa mwe siyuk luk nu sel inge in pacl nukewa. Lela tuh Elan pakoten nu sin mwet Israel ac nu sin tokosra lalos, fal nu ke mwe enenu lalos len na len.

And may these words with which I have made my petition before the LORD be near to the LORD our God day and night, so that He may uphold the cause of His servant and of His people Israel as each day requires,

60 Na mutunfacl uh nufon fah etu lah LEUM GOD mukena pa God pwaye, ac wangin sie sayal.

so that all the peoples of the earth may know that the LORD is God. There is no other!

61 Lela kowos, mwet lal, in pwayena nu sin LEUM GOD lasr pacl nukewa, ac akos ma sap ac oakwuk nukewa lal, oana ke kowos oru misenge.”

So let your heart be fully devoted to the LORD our God, as it is this day, to walk in His statutes and to keep His commandments.”

62 Na Tokosra Solomon ac mwet nukewa su welul, elos orek kisa nu sin LEUM GOD.

Then the king and all Israel with him offered sacrifices before the LORD.

63 El kisakin longoul luo tausin cow ac siofok longoul tausin sheep, tuh in mwe kisa in akinsewowo. Ouinge tokosra ac mwet nukewa kisaela Tempul.

And Solomon offered as peace offerings to the LORD 22,000 oxen and 120,000 sheep. So the king and all the Israelites dedicated the house of the LORD.

64 In len sac pacna el oayapa akmutalye ipin acn se infulwen kalkal se ke mutun Tempul, na el kisakin mwe kisa firir, ac mwe kisa wheat, ac kiris ke kosro ma kisakinyuk nu ke kisa in akinsewowo we. El oru ma inge, mweyen loang bronze sac srikla lac nu ke mwe kisa inge nukewa.

On that same day the king consecrated the middle of the courtyard in front of the house of the LORD, and there he offered the burnt offerings, the grain offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings, since the bronze altar before the LORD was too small to contain all these offerings.

65 Ke inkul in Tempul uh, Solomon ac mwet Israel nukewa elos akfulatye Kufwen Iwen Aktuktuk ke len itkosr. Oasr un mwet na lulap se su tuku yen loessula, oe ke Innek In Utyak Nu Hamath epang nwe ke masrol nu Egypt in acn eir.

So at that time Solomon and all Israel with him—a great assembly of people from Lebo-hamath to the Brook of Egypt—kept the feast before the LORD our God for seven days and seven more days—fourteen days in all.

66 Ke len se akoalkosr, Solomon el supwalik mwet uh nu yen selos. Elos nukewa kaksakunul ac som nu yen selos ke engan, ke sripen mwe insewowo nukewa ma LEUM GOD El sang nu sel David, mwet kulansap lal, ac nu sin mwet Israel, mwet lal.

On the fifteenth day Solomon sent the people away. So they blessed the king and went home, joyful and glad in heart for all the good things that the LORD had done for His servant David and for His people Israel.
