2 Seenaa 7

1 Yommuu Solomoon kadhannaa isaa fixatetti ibiddi samiidhaa gad buʼee aarsaa gubamuu fi aarsaawwan biraa nyaatee fixe; ulfinni Waaqayyoos mana qulqullummaa guute.

And when Solomon had completed pouring out his prayers, fire descended from heaven, and it devoured the holocausts and the victims. And the majesty of the Lord filled the house.

2 Sababii ulfinni Waaqayyoo mana qulqullummaa guuteef luboonni mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo seenuu hin dandeenye.

Neither were the priests able to enter into the temple of the Lord, because the majesty of the Lord had filled the temple of the Lord.

3 Israaʼeloonni hundi yommuu ibidda samiidhaa gad buʼuu fi ulfina Waaqayyoo mana qulqullummaa irratti arganitti qarqara karaa irratti jilbeenfatanii addaan lafatti gombifamuudhaan sagadan; akkana jedhaniis Waaqayyoon galateeffatan: “Inni gaarii dha; jaalalli isaas bara baraan jiraata.”

Moreover, all the sons of Israel saw the fire descending, and the glory of the Lord upon the house. And falling prone upon the ground, on the layer of pavement stones, they adored and praised the Lord: “For he is good. For his mercy is everlasting.”

4 Ergasii mootichii fi sabni hundi fuula Waaqayyoo duratti aarsaa dhiʼeessan.

Then the king and all the people were immolating victims before the Lord.

5 Solomoon Mootichis loon kuma digdamii lama, hoolotaa fi reʼoota kuma dhibba tokkoo fi digdama aarsaa dhiʼeesse; akkasiin mootichii fi namoonni hundi mana qulqullummaa Waaqaa eebbisan.

And so, king Solomon slaughtered victims: twenty-two thousand oxen, and one hundred twenty thousand rams. And the king and the entire people dedicated the house of God.

6 Luboonni akkuma Lewwonni miʼoota faarfannaa Waaqayyo kanneen Daawit Mootichi ittiin Waaqayyoon jajachuudhaaf tolche kanneen yeroo inni, “Jaalalli isaa bara baraan ni jiraata” jedhee galateeffatutti fayyadan sana harkatti qabatanii dhaaban. Luboonnis fuullee Lewwotaa dhaabatanii malakata isaanii afuufan; Israaʼeloonni hundis dhadhaabachaa turan.

Then the priests and the Levites were standing in their offices, with the instruments of music for the Lord, which king David made in order to praise the Lord: “For his mercy is eternal.” And they were playing the hymns of David with their hands. And the priests were sounding out with trumpets before them, and all of Israel was standing.

7 Solomoonis iddoo walakkaa oobdii fuula mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo dura jiru sanaa Waaqaaf addaan ni baase; inni sababii iddoon aarsaa kan inni naasii irraa hojjetee ture sun aarsaa gubamu, kennaa midhaanii fi cooma baachuu hin dandaʼiniif aarsaa gubamuu fi cooma aarsaa nagaa sana achumatti ni dhiʼeesse.

Also, Solomon sanctified the middle of the atrium in front of the temple of the Lord. For he had offered the holocausts and the fat of peace offerings in that place because the bronze altar, which he had made, had not been able to support the holocausts and the sacrifices and the fat.

8 Kanaafuu Solomoon yeroo sanatti bultii torbaaf Israaʼeloota isa wajjin turan hunda wajjin jechuunis waldaa guddicha Malkaa Leeboo Hamaatii jalqabee hamma laga Gibxitti walitti qabame wajjin ayyaana ayyaaneffate.

Therefore, Solomon kept the solemnity, at that time, for seven days, and all of Israel with him, a very great assembly, from the entrance of Hamath, even to the torrent of Egypt.

9 Isaanis sababii bultii torba ayyaana eebba iddoo aarsaa ayyaaneffatanii bultii torba immoo ittuma fufanii ayyaana daasii ayyaaneffataniif bultii saddeettaffaatti wal gaʼii guddaa tokko ni godhatan.

And on the eighth day, he held a solemn gathering, because he had dedicated the altar over seven days, and he had celebrated the solemnity over seven days.

10 Solomoonis guyyaa digdamii sadaffaa jiʼa torbaffaatti akka isaan mana isaaniitti galaniif namoota gad dhiise; isaanis sababii Waaqayyo Daawitiif, Solomoonii fi saba isaa Israaʼeliif waan gaarii godheef garaa isaaniitti gammadanii ni ililchan.

And so, on the twenty-third day of the seventh month, he dismissed the people to their dwellings, joyful and glad over the good that the Lord had done for David, and for Solomon, and for his people Israel.

11 Yommuu Solomoon mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootii fi masaraa mootummaa fixee waan mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootii fi masaraa ofii isaa keessatti hojjechuu barbaade hunda raawwatetti,

And Solomon completed the house of the Lord, and the house of the king, and all that he had resolved in his heart to do for the house of the Lord, and for his own house. And he prospered.

12 Waaqayyos halkaniin isatti mulʼatee akkana jedheen: “Ani kadhannaa kee dhagaʼeera; iddoo kana illee mana qulqullummaa kan aarsaan itti dhiʼeeffamu godhee ofii kootiif filadheera.

Then the Lord appeared to him by night, and said: “I have heard your prayer, and I have chosen this place for myself as a house of sacrifice.

13 “Ani yommuun akka bokkaan hin roobneef samii cufutti yookaan akka inni lafa balleessuuf hawwaannisa ergutti yookaan ani yommuun saba kootti dhaʼicha ergutti,

If I close up heaven, so that no rain will fall, or if I order and instruct the locust to devour the land, or if I send a pestilence among my people,

14 yoo sabni koo kan maqaa kootiin waamamu gad of qabee na kadhate, yoo inni fuula koo barbaadee karaa isaa hamaa sana irraa deebiʼe, ani samii irraa dhagaʼee cubbuu isaa dhiiseefii biyya isaa nan fayyisa.

and if my people, over whom my name has been invoked, being converted, will have petitioned me and sought my face, and will have done penance for their wicked ways, then I will heed them from heaven, and I will forgive their sins, and I will heal their land.

15 Ammas kadhannaa iddoo kanatti dhiʼaatuuf iji koo ni banama; gurri koos ni dhagaʼa.

Also, my eyes will be open, and my ears will be attentive, to the prayer of him who shall pray in this place.

16 Ani akka Maqaan koo bara baraan achi jiraatuuf mana qulqullummaa kana filadhee eebbiseera. Iji koo fi garaan koo yeroo hunda achuma jira.

For I have chosen and sanctified this place, so that my name may be there continually, and so that my eyes and my heart may remain there, for all days.

17 “Yoo ati akkuma Daawit abbaan kee godhe sana fuula koo dura deemtee waan ani ajaje hunda hojjette, yoo qajeelchawwanii fi seerawwan koo eegde,

And as for you, if you will walk before me, just as your father David walked, and if you will act in accord with all that I have instructed you, and if you will observe my justices and judgments,

18 ani akkuman yeroo, ‘Ati nama Israaʼelin bulchu hin dhabdu’ jedhee abbaa kee Daawit wajjin kakuu gale sana teessoo mootummaa keetii jabeessee nan dhaaba.

I will raise up the throne of your kingdom, just as I promised to your father David, saying: ‘There shall not be taken away a man from your stock who will be ruler in Israel.’

19 “Garuu yoo isin duubatti garagaltanii seeraa fi ajaja ani isinii kenne sana irraa gara waaqota biraa tajaajiluu fi isaan waaqeffachuu dhaqxan,

But if you will have turned away, and will have forsaken my justices and my precepts, which I have set before you, and going astray, you serve strange gods, and you adore them,

20 ani biyya koo kanan isaaniif kenne keessaa Israaʼelin nan buqqisa; mana qulqullummaa kanan Maqaa kootiif qulqulleesse kana illee nan balfa; saboota hunda birattis waan kolfaatii fi waan qoosaa isa nan godha.

I will uproot you from my land, which I gave to you, and from this house, which I sanctified to my name, and I will cast it away from before my face, and I will deliver it to be a parable and an example for all the peoples.

21 Manni qulqullummaa kunis tuullaa waan diigamee taʼa. Namni achiin darbu hundis, ‘Waaqayyo maaliif biyya kanaa fi mana qulqullummaa kanatti waan akkasii hojjete?’ jedhee itti qoosa.

And this house will be like a proverb to all who pass by. And being astonished, they shall say: ‘Why has the Lord acted this way toward this land and toward this house?’

22 Namoonnis, ‘Sababiin inni balaa kana hunda isaanitti fideef waan isaan Waaqayyo Waaqa abbootii isaanii kan Gibxii isaan baase sana dhiisanii, waaqota biraa hammatanii, isaanin waaqeffatanii tajaajilaniif’ jedhanii ni deebisu.”

And they shall respond: ‘Because they abandoned the Lord, the God of their fathers, who led them away from the land of Egypt, and they took hold of foreign gods, and they adored and worshipped them. Therefore, all these evils have overwhelmed them.’”
