2 Seenaa 6
1 Ergasii Solomoon akkana jedhe; “Waaqayyo akka duumessa dukkanaaʼaa keessa jiraatu dubbateera;
Then Solomon spoke, Jehovah has said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
2 ani mana qulqullummaa guddaa, iddoo ati bara baraan jiraattu siif ijaareera.”
But I have built for thee a house of habitation, and a place for thee to dwell in forever.
3 Utuma waldaan Israaʼel guutuun achi dhaabatuu mootichi of irra garagalee isaan eebbise.
And the king turned his face, and blessed all the assembly of Israel. And all the assembly of Israel stood.
4 Innis akkana jedhe: “Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel inni waan afaan ofii isaatiin abbaa koo Daawitiif waadaa gale sana harkuma ofii isaatiin guute sun haa eebbifamu. Innis akkana jedhee tureetii;
And he said, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David my father, and has with his hands fulfilled it, saying,
5 ‘Ani gaafan saba koo Gibxii baasee jalqabee akka Maqaan koo achi jiraatuuf jedhee mana qulqullummaa itti ijaarsifachuuf gosoota Israaʼel kam iyyuu keessatti magaalaa tokko illee hin filanne, yookaan akka inni bulchaa saba koo Israaʼel taʼuuf nama tokko illee hin filanne.
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 did I choose any man to be ruler over my people Israel.
6 Amma garuu akka maqaan koo achi jiraatuuf Yerusaalemin filadheera; akka inni saba koo Israaʼelin bulchuufis Daawitin filadheera.’
But I have chosen Jerusalem that my name might be there. And have chosen David to be over my people Israel.
7 “Daawit abbaan koo Maqaa Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼeliif mana qulqullummaa ijaaruuf garaa isaatii yaada qaba ture.
Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of Jehovah, the God of Israel.
8 Waaqayyo garuu abbaa koo Daawitiin akkana jedhe; ‘Waan mana qulqullummaa maqaa kootiif ijaaruun yaada kee keessa jiruuf, ati yaada kana garaadhaa qabaachuun kee gaarii dha.
But Jehovah said to David my father, Whereas it was in thy heart to build a house for my name, thou did well that it was in thy heart.
9 Taʼus namni mana qulqullummaa naaf ijaaru siʼi miti; garuu ilma kee, isuma foon keetii fi dhiiga kee taʼetu ijaara; namni mana qulqullummaa Maqaa kootiif ijaaru isa.’
Nevertheless thou shall not build the house, but thy son who shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house for my name.
10 “Waaqayyo waadaa gale sana eegeera; akkuma Waaqayyo waadaa gale sana ani amma iddoo abbaa koo Daawit buʼee teessoo Israaʼel irra taaʼeen jira; Maqaa Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼeliifis mana qulqullummaa ijaareera.
And Jehovah has performed his word that he spoke. For I have risen up in the place of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as Jehovah promised, and have built the house for the name of Jehovah, the God of Israel.
11 Anis achi keessa taabota kaaʼeera; taabota sana keessa immoo kakuu Waaqayyoo kan inni saba Israaʼel wajjin galetu jira.”
And there I have set the ark in which is the covenant of Jehovah, which he made with the sons of Israel.
12 Solomoon iddoo aarsaa Waaqayyoo duratti fuula guutummaa waldaa Israaʼel dura dhaabatee harka isaa ni balʼise.
And he stood before the altar of Jehovah in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread forth his hands.
13 Waltajjii dhundhuma shan lafa irra dheeratu, kan dhundhuma shan balʼatee dhundhuma sadii ol dheeratu tokkos naasii irraa hojjetee walakkaa oobdii ni dhaabe; innis waltajjii sana irra dhaabatee fuula guutummaa waldaa Israaʼel duratti jilbeenfatee harka isaa gara samiitti ol ni balʼise.
For Solomon had made a brazen scaffold, 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 knelt down upon his knees before all the assembly of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven.
14 Akkanas jedhe: “Yaa Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼel, Waaqni akka keetii ol samii keessa yookaan gad lafa irra hin jiru; ati garboota kee warra garaa guutuudhaan karaa kee irra deemaniif kakuu fi jaalala kee kan hin geeddaramne sana ni eegda.
And he said, O Jehovah, the God of Israel, there is no God like thee, in heaven, or on earth, who keep covenant and loving kindness with thy servants, who walk before thee with all their heart,
15 Ati waadaa garbicha kee abbaa koo Daawitiif galte sana eegdeerta; ati afaanuma keetiin waadaa galtee akkuma harʼa taʼee jiru kana harka keetiin fiixaan baafteerta.
who have kept with thy servant David my father that which thou promised him. Yea, thou spoke with thy mouth, and have fulfilled it with thy hand, as it is this day.
16 “Ammas yaa Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼel, ati waan garbicha kee abbaa koo Daawitiin, ‘Yoo ilmaan kee akkuma ati goote sana waan hojjetan hunda keessatti of eeggachaa, akkuma seera kootti fuula koo dura deddeebiʼan, ati nama fuula koo dura teessoo Israaʼel irra taaʼu gonkumaa hin dhabdu’ jettee abdachiifte sana eegiif.
Now therefore, O Jehovah, the God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that which thou have 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 have walked before me.
17 Kanaafuu amma yaa Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼel, dubbiin ati garbicha kee Daawitiif waadaa galte sun haa mirkanaaʼu.
Now therefore, O Jehovah, the God of Israel, let thy word be verified, which thou spoke to thy servant David.
18 “Garuu dhugumaan Waaqni nama wajjin lafa irra ni jiraataa? Samiiwwan, samiiwwan samii olii iyyuu si baachuu hin dandaʼan. Yoos manni qulqullummaa kan ani ijaare kun hammam haa xinnaatuu ree!
But will God in very deed dwell with men on the earth? Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee. How much less this house which I have built!
19 Taʼus yaa Waaqayyo Waaqa ko, kadhannaa fi waammata garbichi kee araara barbaaduuf dhiʼeessuuf gurra kenni. Iyyaa fi kadhannaa garbichi kee fuula kee duratti dhiʼeessu illee dhagaʼi.
Yet have thou respect to the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O Jehovah my God, to hearken to the cry and to the prayer which thy servant prays before thee,
20 Iji kees halkanii fi guyyaa gara mana qulqullummaa kanaa gara iddoo ati akka Maqaa kee achi kaaʼattu dubbatte sanaa haa ilaalu. Kadhannaa garbichi kee gara iddoo kanaatti fuula deebifatee kadhatu illee dhagaʼi.
that thine eyes may be open toward this house day and night, even toward the place of which thou have said that thou would put thy name there, to hearken to the prayer which thy servant shall pray toward this place.
21 Yommuu isaan gara iddoo kanaatti fuula deebifatanii kadhatanitti waammata garbicha keetii fi kan saba kee Israaʼel dhagaʼi. Samii keessaa, iddoo jireenya keetiitii dhagaʼi; yommuu dhageessuttis dhiifama godhi.
And hearken thou to the supplications of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place. Yea, hear thou from thy dwelling-place, even from heaven, and when thou hear forgive.
22 “Yoo namni tokko ollaa ofii isaatti daba hojjetee akka kakatu gaafatamee, innis dhufee mana qulqullummaa kana keessatti, fuula iddoo aarsaa keetii duratti kakate,
If a man sins against his neighbor, and an oath be laid upon him to cause him to swear, and he comes and swears before thine altar in this house,
23 ati samii irraa dhagaʼiitii garboota kee gidduutti tarkaanfii fudhadhu. Nama yakka qabu, yakka isaa matuma isaatti deebistee gatii isaa kennuufiidhaan, nama qajeelaa immoo akkuma qajeelummaa isaatti isaaf falmuudhaan garboota kee gidduutti murtii kenni.
then hear thou from heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, requiting the wicked, to bring his way upon his own head, and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.
24 “Yoo sabni kee Israaʼel sababii cubbuu sitti hojjeteef diinaan moʼatamutti, yoo inni deebiʼee maqaa keetiif ulfina kennee mana qulqullummaa kana keessatti si duratti kadhatee si waammatutti,
And if thy people Israel be smitten down 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 samii irraa dhagaʼiitii cubbuu saba kee Israaʼel dhiisiif; biyya isaanii fi abbootii isaaniitiif kennite sanattis deebisii isaan galchi.
then hear thou from heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again to the land which thou gave to them and to their fathers.
26 “Yoo sababii sabni kee cubbuu sitti hojjeteef samiiwwan cufamanii bokkaan dhabame, yoo isaan sababii ati isaan adabdeef iddoo kanatti fuula deebifatanii maqaa kee ulfeessanii cubbuu isaanii irraa deebiʼan,
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 when thou do afflict them,
27 ati samii irraa dhagaʼiitii cubbuu garboota kee, saba kee Israaʼel dhiisiif. Karaa qajeelaa isaan jiraachuu qaban isaan barsiisi; biyya dhaala gootee saba keetiif kennite irrattis bokkaa roobsi.
then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, when thou teach them the good way wherein they should walk, and send rain upon thy land, which thou have given to thy people for an inheritance.
28 “Yommuu beelli yookaan dhaʼichi yookaan waagiin yookaan awwaaroon yookaan hawwaannisni yookaan korophisni biyyatti dhufutti, yookaan yommuu magaalaawwan biyya isaanii kam iyyuu keessatti diinonni isaan marsanitti, yookaan yommuu balaan yookaan dhukkubni kam iyyuu dhufutti,
If there be in the land famine, if there be pestilence, if there be blight or mildew, locust or caterpillar, if their enemies besiege them in the land of their cities, whatever plague or whatever sickness there be,
29 yoo sabni kee Israaʼel rakkinaa fi dhukkubbii ofii isaa beekee isaan keessaa eenyu iyyuu gara mana qulqullummaa kanaatti harka isaa balʼisee kadhannaa yookaan waammata dhiʼeesse,
whatever prayer and supplication be made by any man, or by all thy people Israel, who shall know every man his own plague and his own sorrow, and shall spread forth his hands toward this house,
30 ati samii irraa, iddoo jireenya keetiitii dhagaʼi. Dhiifama godhiif; si qofatu garaa namaa beekaatii, ati sababii garaa isaa beektuuf tokkoo tokkoo namaatiif akkuma hojii isaa hundaatti waan isaaf malu kenni;
then hear thou from heaven thy dwelling-place and forgive, and render to every man according to all his ways, whose heart thou know, (for thou, even thou only, know the hearts of the sons of men),
31 yoo akkasii isaan bara biyya ati abbootii keenyaaf kennite keessa jiraatan hunda si sodaatanii karaa kee irra ni deemu.
that they may fear thee, to walk in thy ways so long as they live in the land which thou gave to our fathers.
32 “Akkasumas nama ormaa kan saba kee Israaʼel hin taʼin kan maqaa kee guddichaaf, harka kee jabaa fi irree kee kan diriirfame sanaatiif jedhee biyya fagootii dhufe, yoo inni dhufee fuula isaa gara mana qulqullummaa kanaatti deebifatee kadhate,
Moreover concerning the foreigner, who is not of thy people Israel, when he shall come from a far country for thy great name's sake, and thy mighty hand, and thine outstretched arm, when they shall come and pray toward this house,
33 ati samii irraa, iddoo jireenya keetiitii dhagaʼi. Akka saboonni addunyaa hundinuu akkuma saba kee Israaʼel sana maqaa kee beekanii si sodaatanii fi akka isaan akka manni ani ijaare kun maqaa keetiin waamamu illee beekaniif jedhii waan namni ormaa sun si kadhatu hunda godhiif.
then hear thou from heaven, even from thy dwelling-place, and do according to all that the foreigner calls to thee for, that all the peoples of the earth may know thy name, and fear thee, as do thy people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by thy name.
34 “Yommuu sabni kee diinota isaa loluuf jedhee gara ati itti isa ergitu kam iyyuu duulutti, yoo inni gara magaalaa ati filattee fi gara mana qulqullummaa kan ani Maqaa keetiif ijaare kanaatti fuula deebifatee si kadhate,
If thy people go out to battle against their enemies, by whatever way thou shall send them, and they pray to thee toward this city which thou have chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name,
35 ati samii irraa kadhannaa isaatii fi waammata isaa dhagaʼiitii dhimma isaa isaaf raawwadhu.
then hear thou from heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.
36 “Waan namni cubbuu hin hojjenne tokko iyyuu hin jirreef yommuu isaan cubbuu sitti hojjetanitti ati isaanitti aartee diina isaan boojiʼee biyya fagootti yookaan dhiʼootti isaan geessutti dabarsitee isaan kennita;
If they sin against thee (for there is no man that sins not), and thou be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captive to a land far off or near,
37 yoo isaan biyya boojuudhaan itti geeffamanitti gaabbanii qalbii geeddaratanii, ‘Nu cubbuu hojjenneerra; balleessineerra; waan hamaas hojjenneerra’ jedhanii biyya boojuu isaanii keessatti si kadhatan,
yet if they shall rethink themselves in the land where they are carried captive, and turn again, and make supplication to thee in the land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have done perversely, and have dealt wickedly,
38 yoo isaan biyya boojuudhaan itti geeffaman sana keessatti garaa fi lubbuu isaanii guutuudhaan gara keetti deebiʼanii, gara biyya ati abbootii isaaniitiif kenniteetti, gara magaalaa ati filattee fi gara mana qulqullummaa kan ani Maqaa keetiif ijaare sanaatti fuula deebifatanii si kadhatan,
if they return to thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity where they have carried them captive, and pray toward their land, which thou gave to their fathers, and the city which thou have chosen, and toward the house which I have built for thy name,
39 ati samii irraa, iddoo jireenya keetiitii kadhannaa fi waammata isaanii dhagaʼiitii dhimma isaanii isaaniif raawwadhu. Saba kee kan cubbuu sitti hojjeteefis dhiifama godhi.
then hear thou from heaven, even from thy dwelling-place, their prayer and their supplications, and maintain their case, and forgive thy people who have sinned against thee.
40 “Ammas yaa Waaqa koo kadhannaa iddoo kanatti dhiʼaatu iji kee haa argu; gurri kees haa dhagaʼu.
Now, O my God, let, I beseech thee, thine eyes be open, and let thine ears be attendant to the prayer that is made in this place.
41 “Kanaafuu yaa Waaqayyo, yaa Waaqi,
Now therefore arise, O Jehovah God, into thy resting-place, thou, and the ark of thy strength. Let thy priests, O Jehovah God, be clothed with salvation, and let thy sanctified rejoice in goodness.
42 Yaa Waaqayyo, Gooftaa, ati dibamaa kee hin gatin;
O Jehovah God, do not turn away the face of thine anointed. Remember thy loving kindnesses to David thy servant.
