2 Ebyomumirembe 7
1 Awo Sulemaani bwe yamaliriza esaala ye, omuliro ne guva mu ggulu ne gwokya ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa ne ssaddaaka era n’ekitiibwa kya Mukama ne kijjula eyeekaalu.
Now when Solomon had made an end of praying, the fire came down from heaven, and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of the LORD filled the house.
2 Bakabona ne batayinza kuyingira mu yeekaalu ya Mukama kubanga ekitiibwa kya Mukama kyajjula eyeekaalu ya Mukama.
The priests could not enter into the house of the LORD, because the glory of the LORD filled the LORD's house.
3 Awo Abayisirayiri bonna bwe baalaba omuliro nga gukka, n’ekitiibwa kya Mukama nga kiri ku yeekaalu, ne bavuunama ku lubalaza ng’amaaso gaabwe gatunudde wansi ne basinza era ne beebaza Mukama nga boogera nti, “Mulungi, era okwagala kwe kubeerera emirembe gyonna.”
All the children of Israel looked on, when the fire came down, and the glory of the LORD was on the house; and they bowed themselves with their faces to the ground on the pavement, and worshiped, and gave thanks to the LORD, saying, "For he is good; for his loving kindness endures for ever."
4 Awo kabaka n’abantu bonna, ne baweerayo ssaddaaka mu maaso ga Mukama.
Then the king and all the people offered sacrifice before the LORD.
5 Kabaka Sulemaani n’awaayo ssaddaaka ey’ente ezawera emitwalo ebiri, n’endiga n’embuzi emitwalo kkumi n’ebiri. Awo kabaka n’abantu bonna ne bawonga eyeekaalu ya Mukama.
King Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty-two thousand head of cattle, and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the people dedicated God's house.
6 Bakabona ne bayimirira mu bifo byabwe, n’Abaleevi nabo mu bifo byabwe nga bakutte ebivuga bya Mukama, kabaka Dawudi bye yali akoze olw’okutenderezanga Mukama, buli lwe yeebazanga Mukama ng’agamba nti, “Okwagala kwe kubeerera emirembe gyonna.” Ku luuyi olwaddirira Abaleevi, bakabona ne bafuuwa amakondeere, Isirayiri yenna n’ayimirira.
The priests stood, according to their positions; the Levites also with instruments of music of the LORD, which David the king had made to give thanks to the LORD, when David praised by their ministry, saying "For his loving kindness endures for ever." The priests sounded trumpets before them; and all Israel stood.
7 Sulemaani n’atukuza oluggya olwa wakati olwali mu maaso ga yeekaalu ya Mukama, era eyo n’aweerayo ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa n’amasavu ag’ebiweebwayo olw’emirembe kubanga ku kyoto eky’ekikomo kye yali akoze kwali tekugyako biweebwayo byokebwa n’ebiweebwayo ebyobutta, n’ebitundu n’amasavu.
Moreover Solomon made the middle of the court holy that was before the house of the LORD; for there he offered the burnt offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings, because the bronze altar which Solomon had made was not able to receive the burnt offering, and the meal offering, and the fat.
8 Era mu kiseera kyekimu Sulemaani n’akuuma embaga eyo okumala ennaku musanvu, ne Isirayiri yenna wamu naye, n’ekibiina ekinene ennyo okuva awayingirirwa e Kamasi okutuuka ku kagga ak’e Misiri.
So Solomon held the feast at that time seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great assembly, from Lebo Hamath to the Wadi of Egypt.
9 Ku lunaku olw’omunaana ne bakuba olukuŋŋaana, kubanga baali bajjagulizza okuwongebwa kw’ekyoto ennaku musanvu, n’embaga ennaku endala musanvu.
On the eighth day they held a solemn assembly: for they kept the dedication of the altar seven days, and the feast seven days.
10 Ku lunaku olw’amakumi abiri mu esatu olw’omwezi ogw’omusanvu, Kabaka Sulemaani n’asindika abantu baddeyo ewaabwe, era ne bagenda nga basanyufu era nga bajaguza mu mitima gyabwe olw’obulungi bwa Mukama bwe yalaga Dawudi ne Sulemaani n’abantu be Isirayiri.
On the three and twentieth day of the seventh month he sent the people away to their tents, joyful and glad of heart for the goodness that the LORD had shown to David, and to Solomon, and to Israel his people.
11 Awo Sulemaani bwe yamaliriza eyeekaalu ya Mukama, n’olubiri lwa kabaka, era ng’amalirizza n’ebyo byonna bye yali ateeseteese mu mutima gwe okukola mu yeekaalu ya Mukama ne mu lubiri lwa kabaka,
Thus Solomon finished the house of the LORD, and the king's house: and he successfully completed all that came into Solomon's heart to make in the house of the LORD, and in his own house.
12 Mukama n’amulabikira mu kiro n’amugamba nti, “Mpulidde okusaba kwo, era neerobozza gye ndi ekifo kino okuba eyeekaalu ey’okuweerangamu ssaddaaka.
The LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said to him, "I have heard your prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for a house of sacrifice.
13 “Bwe nnaggalangawo eggulu enkuba n’etatonnya, oba ne ndagira enzige okulya ensi oba ne nsindikira abantu bange kawumpuli,
If I shut up the sky so that there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send a plague among my people;
14 abantu bange abatuumiddwa erinnya lyange bwe baneetowazanga, ne basaba, ne banoonya amaaso gange, ne bakyuka okuleka amakubo gaabwe amakyamu, kale nnaawuliranga nga nsinziira mu ggulu ne nsonyiwa ekibi kyabwe era ne mponya ensi yaabwe.
then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
15 Era amaaso gange ganaazibukanga, n’amatu gange ganaawuliranga esaala ezinaawebwangayo mu kifo kino.
Now my eyes shall be open, and my ears attentive, to the prayer that is made in this place.
16 Nnonze era neewongedde yeekaalu eno, Erinnya lyange libeerenga omwo ennaku zonna. Amaaso gange n’omutima gwange binaabeeranga omwo ekiseera kyonna.
For now have I chosen and made this house holy, that my name may be there forever; and my eyes and my heart shall be there perpetually.
17 “Bw’onootambuliranga mu maaso gange nga Dawudi kitaawo bwe yakola, n’okola bye nkulagira byonna, n’okuuma ebiragiro byange n’amateeka gange,
As for you, if you will walk before me as David your father walked, and do according to all that I have commanded you, and will keep my statutes and my ordinances;
18 ndinyweza entebe ey’obwakabaka bwo, nga bwe nalagaana ne Dawudi kitaawo bwe nayogera nti, ‘Tolirema kuba na musika alifuga Isirayiri.’
then I will establish the throne of your kingdom, according as I covenanted with David your father, saying, 'There shall not fail you a man to be ruler in Israel.'
19 “Naye bwe munaakyuka ne muva ku mateeka gange n’ebiragiro byange bye mbawadde, ne mugenda okuweereza bakatonda abalala ne mubasinza,
But if you turn away, and forsake my statutes and my commandments which I have set before you, and shall go and serve other gods, and worship them;
20 ndisiguukulula Isirayiri okuva mu nsi yange, gye mbawadde, era sirifaayo na ku yeekaalu eno gye neewongera olw’Erinnya lyange. Ndigifuula ekisekererwa era ekinyoomebwa mu mawanga gonna.
then I will pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have made holy for my name, I will cast out of my sight, and I will make it a proverb and a byword among all peoples.
21 Newaakubadde nga yeekaalu eno eyatiikiridde nnyo, abaliyitawo bonna balyewuunya, nga boogera nti, ‘Lwaki Mukama akoze ekifaanana bwe kiti ku nsi eno ne ku yeekaalu eno?’
And this house, which is exalted, will become a heap of ruins. Everyone who passes by it will be astonished, and will say, 'Why has the LORD done this to this land, and to this house?'
22 Abantu baliddamu nti, ‘Kubanga baava ku Mukama, Katonda wa bajjajjaabwe eyabaggya mu Misiri, ne bagoberera bakatonda abalala, nga babasinza era nga babaweereza, kyavudde abaleetako emitawaana gino gyonna, ginnamuzisa.’”
And they shall answer, 'Because they abandoned the LORD, the God of their fathers, who brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, and took other gods, worshiped them, and served them. Therefore he has brought all these disasters on them.'"
