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 Solomon said, “YHWH said [He would] dwell in thick darkness,

2 Inge nga musaela sie tempul wolana nu sum, Sie acn kom in muta we ma pahtpat.”

and I have built a house of habitation for You, and a fixed place for Your dwelling for all ages.”

3 Mwet Israel nukewa elos tu we, ac tokosra el forang nu selos ac akinsewowoyalos.

And the king turns around his face, and blesses the whole assembly of Israel, and the whole assembly of Israel is standing,

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 says, “Blessed [is] YHWH, God of Israel, who has spoken with His mouth with my father David, and with His hands has 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.

From the day that I brought out My people from the land of Egypt, I have not fixed on a city out of any of the tribes of Israel to build a house for my name being there, and I have not fixed on a man to be leader 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.’”

and I fix on Jerusalem for My Name being there, and I fix on 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 is with the heart of my father David to build a house for the Name of YHWH God of Israel,

8 tusruktu LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel, ‘Wo lah kom lungse musai sie tempul nu sik,

and YHWH says to my father David, Because that it has been with your heart to build a house for My Name, you have done well that it has been with your heart,

9 tusruktu tia kom pa ac musai, a wen nutum — wen na pwaye se nutum — pa ac musai tempul in akfulatye Inek.’

but you do not build the house, for your son who comes forth out from your loins, he builds the house for 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 YHWH establishes His word that He spoke, and I rise up in the stead of my father David, and sit on the throne of Israel, as YHWH spoke, and I build the house for the Name of YHWH, 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 I place the Ark there, where the covenant of YHWH [is] that He made with the sons of Israel.”

12 Ouinge, ye mutun mwet uh Solomon el som ac tu mutun loang uh, ac sralak paol ac pre.

And he stands before the altar of YHWH, in front of all the assembly of Israel, and spreads out his hand—

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 has made a scaffold of bronze, and puts it in the midst of the court, five cubits its length, and five cubits its breadth, and three cubits its height, and he stands on it, and kneels on his knees in front of all the assembly of Israel, and spreads 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 says, “O YHWH God of Israel, there is not like You a god in the heavens and in the earth, keeping the covenant and the kindness for Your servants who are walking before You with all their heart;

15 Kom karinganang wulela lom nu sel David, papa tumuk. Misenge akpwayeyuk kas nukewa oana ma kom fahkla.

who has kept for Your servant, my father David, that which You spoke to him; indeed, You speak with Your mouth, and with Your hand have fulfilled [it], 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, O YHWH, God of Israel, keep for Your servant, my father David, that which You spoke to him, saying, A man of yours is never cut off from before My face, sitting on the throne of Israel—only, if your sons watch their way to walk in My law, as you have 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, O YHWH, God of Israel, let Your word be steadfast that You have spoken to Your servant, to 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?

For is it true [that] God dwells with man on the earth? Behold, the heavens, and the heavens of the heavens, do not contain You, how much less this house that I have built?

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

And You have turned to the prayer of Your servant, and to his supplication, O YHWH my God, to listen to the cry and to the prayer that Your servant is praying before You,

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.

for Your eyes being open toward this house by day and by night, toward the place that You have said to put Your Name there, to listen to the prayer that Your servant prays 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 You have listened to the supplications of Your servant, and of Your people Israel, that they pray toward this place, and You hear from the place of Your dwelling, from the heavens, and have listened, and forgiven.

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 sins against his neighbor, and he has lifted up an oath on him to cause him to swear, and the oath has come in before Your 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 You hear from the heavens, and have done, and have judged Your servants, to give back to the wicked, to put his way on his head, and to declare righteous the righteous, to give to 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 Your people Israel is struck before an enemy because they sin against You, and they have turned back and confessed Your Name, and prayed and made supplication before You 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 You hear from the heavens and have forgiven the sin of Your people Israel, and caused them to return to the ground that You have given 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,

In the heavens being restrained and there is no rain because they sin against You, and they have prayed toward this place and confessed Your Name, [and] they turn back from their sin because You afflict 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 You hear in the heavens, and have forgiven the sin of Your servants, and of Your people Israel, because You direct them to the good way in which they walk, and have given rain on Your land that You have given to Your 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,

Famine, when it is in the land, [and] pestilence, when it is [in the land], blasting and mildew, locust and caterpillar, when they are [in the land], when its enemies have distressed it in the land—its gates, any plague and any sickness;

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,

any prayer, any supplication that is for any man, and for all Your people Israel, when they each know his own plague, and his own pain, and he has spread out 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 You hear from the heavens, the settled place of Your dwelling, and have forgiven, and have given to each according to all his ways (because You know his heart, for You alone have known the heart of the sons 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.

so that they fear You, to walk in Your ways, all the days that they are living on the face of the ground that You have given to 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 also, to the stranger who is not of Your people Israel, and he has come from a far-off land for the sake of Your great Name, and Your strong hand, and Your outstretched arm, and they have come in and prayed 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 You hear from the heavens, from the settled place of Your dwelling, and have done according to all that the stranger calls to You for, so that all the peoples of the earth know Your Name, so as to fear You, as Your people Israel, and to know that Your Name is called on this house that I have built.

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,

When Your people go out to battle against its enemies in the way that You send them, and they have prayed to You [in] the way of this city that You have fixed on, and the house that I have built for Your Name—

35 porongo pre lalos. Lohng pusralos yen sum inkusrao, ac sang kutangla nu selos.

then You have heard their prayer and their supplication from the heavens, and have maintained their cause.

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,

When they sin against You—for there is not a man who does not sin—and You have been angry with them, and have given them before an enemy, and their captors have taken them captive to 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 they have turned [it] back to their heart in the land to where they have been taken captive, and have turned back and made supplication to You in the land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have done perversely, and have done wickedly;

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,

indeed, they have turned back to You with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their captivity, to where they have taken them captive, and they have prayed [in] the way of their land that You have given to their fathers, and of the city that You have chosen, and of the house that I have built for Your 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 You have heard from the heavens, from the settled place of Your dwelling, their prayer and their supplications, and have maintained their cause, and forgiven Your people who have sinned against You.

40 “Inge, O God luk, ngeta nu facsr, ac porongo pre nukewa su orek in acn se inge.

Now my God, I implore You, let Your eyes be open and Your ears attentive to the prayer of 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, rise, O YHWH God, to Your rest, You and the Ark of Your strength; Your priests, O YHWH God, are clothed with salvation, and Your saints rejoice in the goodness.

42 LEUM GOD, nikmet ngetla liki tokosra su kom sulela. Esam lungse lom nu sel David, mwet kulansap lom.”

O YHWH God, do not turn back the face of Your anointed, be mindful of the kind acts of Your servant David.”
