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.
When Solomon finished praying, fire came down from the sky and burned all the offerings and sacrifices [that were on the altar], and the glorious radiance of Yahweh filled the temple.
2 Sababii ulfinni Waaqayyoo mana qulqullummaa guuteef luboonni mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo seenuu hin dandeenye.
The radiance [was extremely bright], with the result that the priests could not enter the temple of Yahweh.
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.”
When all the Israeli people [who were there] saw the fire coming down and the glory of Yahweh above the temple, they prostrated themselves with their faces touching the ground. They worshiped and thanked Yahweh, singing, “Yahweh is always good to us; he faithfully loves us forever.”
4 Ergasii mootichii fi sabni hundi fuula Waaqayyoo duratti aarsaa dhiʼeessan.
Then the king and all the people who were there dedicated the temple to Yahweh by offering more sacrifices to him. King Solomon gave 22,000 cattle and 120,000 sheep and goats to be sacrificed.
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.
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.
The priests stood in their positions, and the other descendants of Levi stood in their positions holding the musical instruments [to praise] Yahweh, instruments that King David had caused to be made for praising Yahweh and thanking him. [They sang], “He faithfully loves us forever.” Facing the other descendants of Levi the priests stood, blowing their trumpets, while all the Israeli people were standing [and listening].
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.
Solomon dedicated the middle part of the courtyard in front of the temple. Then he gave offerings to be completely burned there along with the fat of the animals to be sacrificed to maintain fellowship with Yahweh. The priests burned them there in the courtyard because in addition to those things there were offerings of grain, with the result that there was not enough space on the bronze altar to burn all those sacrifices.
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.
Solomon [and the other people] celebrated the Festival of Living in Temporary Shelters for seven days. There was a huge group of people who celebrated with him. Some of them came from [as far away as] Lebo-Hamath [in the far north] and the border of Egypt [in the far south].
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.
On the eighth/next day they gathered again [to worship Yahweh]. They had celebrated the dedication of the altar for seven days and the Festival of Living in Temporary Shelters for 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.
Then on the next day Solomon sent them to their homes. They were very joyful because of all the good things that Yahweh had done for David and Solomon and for all his Israeli people.
11 Yommuu Solomoon mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootii fi masaraa mootummaa fixee waan mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootii fi masaraa ofii isaa keessatti hojjechuu barbaade hunda raawwatetti,
Solomon’s [workers] finished building the temple and Solomon’s palace. And Solomon finished doing everything else that he had planned to do.
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 Yahweh appeared to him one night [in a dream] and said to him, “I have heard your prayer, and I have chosen this temple to be the place where my people will offer sacrifices to me.
13 “Ani yommuun akka bokkaan hin roobneef samii cufutti yookaan akka inni lafa balleessuuf hawwaannisa ergutti yookaan ani yommuun saba kootti dhaʼicha ergutti,
“When I prevent any rain from falling, or when I command locusts to eat all the crops, or when I send a plague 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.
if the people who belong to me humble themselves and pray, and request me to help them, and if they turn away from their sinful behavior, then I will hear from heaven. I will forgive them for having sinned and I will cause them to prosper again.
15 Ammas kadhannaa iddoo kanatti dhiʼaatuuf iji koo ni banama; gurri koos ni dhagaʼa.
I [SYN] will see them and I [SYN] will hear them when they pray to me 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.
I have chosen and have (set apart/dedicated) this temple in order that people may worship [MTY] me there forever. I will always watch over [MTY] it and protect [IDM] it.
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 obey me as David your father did, and if you do all that I command you to do, and obey all my laws and decrees,
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 make sure that your descendants will always be kings, which is what I promised to David your father, saying, ‘Some of your descendants will always be the kings of 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 Israelis turn away from me and disobey the decrees and commands that I have given to you, and you start to worship other gods,
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 cause you to be expelled from this land that I have given to you, and I will abandon this temple that I have set apart to be the place where people should worship me. I will cause it to be despised and ridiculed by people of all nations.
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.
Although this temple is now greatly respected, when that happens, all the people who pass by will be appalled, and they will say, ‘Why has Yahweh done terrible things like this to this country and to this temple?’
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 others will reply, ‘It happened because they rejected Yahweh, the God to whom their ancestors belonged, the one who brought their ancestors out of Egypt, and they have been worshiping other gods and trying to please them. And that is why Yahweh has caused them to experience all these disasters.’”
