Luo Chronicle 6
1 Na Tokosra Solomon el pre ac fahk, “LEUM GOD, kom sulela tuh kom in muta ke pukunyeng ac yen lohsr.
Then said Solomon: Jehovah said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
2 Inge nga musaela sie tempul wolana nu sum, Sie acn kom in muta we ma pahtpat.”
But I have built a house of habitation for thee, even a settled place for thee to abide in for ever.
3 Mwet Israel nukewa elos tu we, ac tokosra el forang nu selos ac akinsewowoyalos.
And the king turned his face and blessed the whole congregation of Israel; and the whole congregation of Israel stood.
4 El fahk, “Kaksakin LEUM GOD lun Israel! El liyaung na wulela El orala nu sel David, papa tumuk, ke El tuh fahk,
And he said: Blessed be Jehovah the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth unto David my father, and hath with his hands fulfilled it, saying,
5 ‘Oe ke pacl se nga use mwet luk liki acn Egypt nwe misenge, nga tiana sulela kutena siti in facl Israel tuh in musala sie tempul mwet in alu nu sik we, oayapa nga tiana sulela sie mwet in kol mwet luk mwet Israel.
Since the day that I brought forth 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; neither chose I any man to be prince over my people Israel:
6 Tuh pa inge, nga sulela acn Jerusalem tuh in acn se mwet uh fah alu nu sik we, ac David elan leumi mwet luk.’”
but I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and I have chosen David to be over my people Israel.
7 Ac Solomon el tafwela ac fahk, “David, papa tumuk, el tuh nunku elan musai sie tempul in nien alu nu sin LEUM GOD lun Israel,
And it was in the heart of David my father to build a house unto the name of Jehovah the God of Israel.
8 tusruktu LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel, ‘Wo lah kom lungse musai sie tempul nu sik,
But Jehovah said to David my father, Whereas it was in thy heart to build a house unto my name, thou didst well that it was in thy heart;
9 tusruktu tia kom pa ac musai, a wen nutum — wen na pwaye se nutum — pa ac musai tempul in akfulatye Inek.’
nevertheless thou shalt not build the house; but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house unto my name.
10 “Inge LEUM GOD El akpwayeye wuleang lal: nga aolla David, papa tumuk, in tokosra lun Israel, ac nga musaela sie tempul tuh mwet uh in alu we nu sin LEUM GOD lun Israel.
And Jehovah has performed his word which he spoke; and I am risen up in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as Jehovah promised, and I have built the house unto the name of Jehovah the God of Israel.
11 Ac nga likiya in Tempul, Tuptup in Wuleang, su nein eot luo ma simla wuleang su LEUM GOD El orala yurin mwet Israel.”
And in it have I put the ark, wherein is the covenant of Jehovah, which he made with the children of Israel.
12 Ouinge, ye mutun mwet uh Solomon el som ac tu mutun loang uh, ac sralak paol ac pre.
And he stood before the altar of Jehovah in the presence of the whole congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands.
13 (Solomon el tuh orala sie loang mwe tu ke bronze, ac filiya infulwen nien tukeni ke mutun Tempul. Mwe tu se inge fit oalkosr lusa, oalkosr sralap, ac limekosr fulat. Na el fanyak nu fin mwe tu sac ac sikukmutunteyak ac sralak paol nu lucng ac pre yen mwet nukewa ku in liyal we.)
For Solomon had made a platform of bronze, five cubits long, and five cubits broad, and three cubits high, and had set it in the midst of the court; and upon it he stood, and he kneeled down on his knees before the whole congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward the heavens,
14 El pre ac fahk, “LEUM GOD lun Israel, wangin sie god oana kom inkusrao ac fin faclu. Kom akpwayeye wuleang lom yurin mwet lom, ac kom akkalemye lungse lom nu selos ke elos akos kom ke insialos nufon.
and said, Jehovah, God of Israel! there is no God like thee, in the heavens or on the earth, who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants that walk before thee with all their heart;
15 Kom karinganang wulela lom nu sel David, papa tumuk. Misenge akpwayeyuk kas nukewa oana ma kom fahkla.
who hast kept with thy servant David my father that which thou didst promise him; thou spokest with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled [it] with thy hand as at this day.
16 Inge, LEUM GOD lun Israel, liyaung pac wulela se ngia ma kom tuh orala nu sin papa tumuk ke kom tuh fahk nu sel mu sie sin tulik natul ac fah tokosra fin acn Israel in pacl e nukewa, elos fin arulana akos ma sap lom oana el.
And now, Jehovah, God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that which thou hast promised him saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if only thy sons take heed to their way to walk in my law, as thou hast walked before me.
17 Ouinge, LEUM GOD lun Israel, lela ma nukewa in akpwayeyuk oana wulela lom nu sel David, mwet kulansap lom.
And now, Jehovah, God of Israel, let thy word be verified which thou hast spoken unto thy servant David.
18 “Tusruktu, ya pwaye kom, God, ac ku in muta inmasrlon mwet faclu? Finne yohk lun kusrao, sufalla kom in muta we, na ac fuka Tempul se nga musaela inge in tuh fal lupa nu sum?
But will God indeed dwell with man on the earth? behold, the heavens and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house which I have built!
19 LEUM GOD luk, nga mwet kulansap lom. Porongo pre luk, ac topuk mwe siyuk luk nu sum.
Yet have respect unto the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, Jehovah, my God, to hearken unto the cry and to the prayer which thy servant prayeth before thee;
20 Karinganang Tempul se inge ke len ac fong. Kom wulela mu pa inge acn mwet uh in alu nu sum we. Ouinge, lohngyu ke pacl nga forang nu ke Tempul se inge ac pre.
that thine eyes may be open upon this house day and night, upon the place in which thou hast said thou wouldest put thy name: to hearken unto the prayer which thy servant prayeth toward this place.
21 Lohng pre luk oayapa pre lun mwet Israel, mwet lom, ke elos forang nu ke acn se inge ac pre nu sum. Lohng pre lasr liki acn sum inkusrao, ac nunak munas nu sesr.
And hearken unto the supplications of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, which they shall pray toward this place, and hear thou from thy dwelling-place, from the heavens, and when thou hearest, forgive.
22 “Fin utukyak sie mwet nu ye mutun loang in Tempul lom tuh elan oru fulahk lal lah wangin mwatal, ac nunkeyuk mu el orala ma koluk lain sie pac mwet,
If a man have sinned against his neighbour, and an oath be laid upon him to adjure him, and the oath come before thine altar in this house;
23 O LEUM GOD, lohng inkusrao me, ac nununku mwet kulansap lom inge. Sang kalya fal nu sin kutena mwet su orala ma koluk, ac tulala mwet su wangin ma koluk lalos.
then hear thou from the heavens, and do, and judge thy servants, requiting the wicked, to bring his way upon his own head; and justifying the righteous, giving him according to his righteousness.
24 “Ke pacl mwet Israel lom elos kutangyukla sin mwet lokoalok lalos ke sripen elos oru ma koluk lain kom, na elos fin forla nu sum ac tuku nu ke Tempul se inge ke inse pusisal ac pre nu sum in siyuk ke nunak munas,
And if thy people Israel be put to the worse before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee, and shall turn again and confess thy name, and pray, and make supplication before thee in this house;
25 porongo mwe siyuk lalos inkusrao me. Nunak munas ke ma koluk lun mwet lom, ac folokunulosme nu ke facl se su kom tuh sang nu selos ac nu sin mwet matu lalos.
then hear thou from the heavens, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again unto the land that thou gavest to them and to their fathers.
26 “Ke kom sruokya af lom ke sripen mwet lom elos orekma koluk lain kom, na ke elos auliyak ac forang nu ke Tempul se inge ac pre nu sum ke inse pusisel,
When the heavens are shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee; if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, because thou hast afflicted them;
27 O LEUM GOD, porongalos inkusrao me, ac nunak munas nu sin mwet kulansap lom mwet Israel, ac luti nu selos in oru ma suwohs. Na kom, O LEUM GOD, fah supwama af nu fin facl se inge su kom sang nu sin mwet lom tuh in mwe usru lalos nwe tok.
then hear thou in the heavens, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, when thou teachest them the good way wherein they should walk; and give rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy people for an inheritance.
28 “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,
If there be famine in the land, if there be pestilence, if there be blight or mildew, locust or caterpillar; if their enemies besiege them in the land of their gates; whatever plague or whatever sickness there be:
29 porongo pre lalos. Fin oasr inmasrlon mwet lom mwet Israel, pulakunak asor lun insialos, ac kolma paolos nu ke Tempul se inge ac pre nu sum,
what prayer, what supplication soever be made by any man, or by all thy people Israel, when they shall know every man his own plague, and his own grief, and shall spread forth his hands toward this house;
30 lohng pre lalos. Porongo mwe siyuk lalos yen sum inkusrao, ac nunak munas nu selos. Oru nu sin kais mwet oana ma fal nu sel, tuh kom mukena etu nunak lun mwet uh.
then hear thou from the heavens, the settled place of thy dwelling, and forgive, and render unto every man according to all his ways, whose heart thou knowest (for thou, thou only, knowest the hearts of the children of men),
31 Na mwet lom ac fah akfulatye kom ac akos kom pacl e nukewa ke elos muta in facl se su kom sang nu sin mwet matu lasr.
that they may fear thee, to walk in thy ways, all the days that they live upon the land which thou gavest unto our fathers.
32 “Oayapa ke pacl mwetsac su muta in sie acn loesula lohng ke pwengpeng ac ku lom, ac lah kom akola pacl nukewa in kasru, elos ac tuku in pre ke Tempul se inge,
And as to the stranger also, who is not of thy people Israel, but cometh out of a far country for thy great name's sake, and thy mighty hand and thy stretched-out arm; when they shall come and pray toward this house,
33 porongo pac pre lalos. Lohng kas lalos yen kom muta we inkusrao, ac oru ma elos siyuk kac, na mwet nukewa fin faclu fah etekom ac akos kom, oana mwet Israel lom elos oru. Na elos fah etu lah Tempul se nga musaela inge pa acn se mwet uh in alu nu sum we.
then hear thou from the heavens, the settled place of thy dwelling, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for; in order that all peoples of the earth may know thy name, and may fear thee as do thy people Israel, and may know that this house which I have built is called by thy name.
34 “Ke pacl kom sapkin nu sin mwet lom in som mweuni mwet lokoalok lalos, ac ke elos pre nu sum in kutena acn elos oasr we, ac forma nu ke siti se inge yen kom sulela, ac nu ke Tempul se ma nga musaela nu sum inge,
If thy people go out to battle against their enemies by the way that thou shalt send them, and they pray unto thee toward this city that thou hast chosen, and the house that I have built unto thy name;
35 porongo pre lalos. Lohng pusralos yen sum inkusrao, ac sang kutangla nu selos.
then hear thou from the heavens their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their right.
36 “Ke pacl mwet lom orala ma koluk lain kom — aok, wangin sie mwet tia oru ma koluk — na ke sripen kasrkusrak lom kom lela mwet lokoalok lalos in kutangulosla ac usalosla tuh elos in mwet kapur nu in kutu acn saya, finne acn sac oan loesula,
If they have sinned against thee (for there is no man that sinneth not), and thou be angry with them, and give them up to the enemy, and they have carried them away captives unto a land far off or near;
37 porongo pre lun mwet lom. Elos fin auliyak ac pre nu sum ke elos srakna muta ingo, ac fahkak lupan ma koluk ma elos orala, O LEUM GOD, lohng pre lalos.
and if they shall take it to heart in the land whither they were carried captive, and repent, and make supplication unto thee in the land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have done iniquity and have dealt perversely;
38 Elos fin auliyak ke pwaye yen elos muta we, ac pre nu sum ke elos forma nu ke facl se inge su kom sang nu sin mwet matu lasr, oayapa nu ke siti se inge su kom sulela, ac nu ke Tempul se inge su nga musaela nu sum,
and if they return unto thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, whither they have carried them captives, and pray toward their land which thou gavest unto their fathers, and the city that thou hast chosen, and the house that I have built unto thy name;
39 na kom in porongo pre lalos. Lohngolos in acn sum inkusrao, ac pakoten nu selos, ac sisla ma koluk lun mwet lom nukewa.
then hear thou from the heavens, from the settled place of thy dwelling, their prayer and their supplications, and maintain their right, and forgive thy people their sin against thee.
40 “Inge, O God luk, ngeta nu facsr, ac porongo pre nukewa su orek in acn se inge.
Now, my God, I beseech thee, let thine eyes be open and let thine ears be attentive unto the prayer [that is made] in this place.
41 Ke ma inge, LEUM GOD, tuyak wi Tuptup in Wuleang su mwe akul lun ku lom, ac utyak nu in Tempul se inge ac muta we ma pahtpat. Akinsewowoye mwet tol in ma nukewa elos oru, ac lela mwet lom nukewa in engankin wolana lom nu selos.
And now, arise, Jehovah Elohim, into thy resting-place, thou and the ark of thy strength: let thy priests, Jehovah Elohim, be clothed with salvation, and let thy saints rejoice in [thy] goodness.
42 LEUM GOD, nikmet ngetla liki tokosra su kom sulela. Esam lungse lom nu sel David, mwet kulansap lom.”
Jehovah Elohim, turn not away the face of thine anointed: remember mercies to David thy servant.
