2 Nyakati 7
1 Baada ya Solomoni kumaliza kuomba, moto ukashuka kutoka mbinguni na kuteketeza sadaka ya kuteketezwa na dhabihu, nao utukufu wa Bwana ukalijaza Hekalu.
And just as finished Solomon to pray and the fire it came down from the heavens and it consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices and [the] glory of Yahweh it filled the house.
2 Makuhani hawakuweza kuingia ndani ya Hekalu la Bwana kwa sababu utukufu wa Bwana ulilijaza.
And not they were able the priests to go into [the] house of Yahweh for it filled [the] glory of Yahweh [the] house of Yahweh.
3 Waisraeli wote walipoona moto ukishuka na utukufu wa Bwana ukiwa juu ya Hekalu, wakapiga magoti sakafuni wakasujudu nyuso zao mpaka chini, nao wakamwabudu na kumshukuru Bwana wakisema, “Yeye ni mwema; upendo wake unadumu milele.”
And all - [the] people of Israel [were] seeing when came down the fire and [the] glory of Yahweh [was] over the house and they bowed down face [the] ground towards on the pavement and they bowed down and to give thanks to Yahweh for [he is] good for [is] for ever covenant loyalty his.
4 Ndipo mfalme na watu wote wakatoa dhabihu mbele za Bwana Mungu.
And the king and all the people [were] sacrificing sacrifice[s] before Yahweh.
5 Naye Mfalme Solomoni akatoa dhabihu ya ngʼombe 22,000 pamoja na kondoo na mbuzi 120,000. Hivyo ndivyo mfalme na watu wote walivyoweka wakfu Hekalu la Mungu.
And he sacrificed the king Solomon [the] sacrifice of cattle twenty and two thousand and sheep one hundred and twenty thousand and they dedicated [the] house of God the king and all the people.
6 Makuhani wakasimama kwenye nafasi zao, vivyo hivyo Walawi wakiwa na vyombo vya uimbaji vya Bwana ambavyo Mfalme Daudi alikuwa ametengeneza kwa ajili ya kumsifu Bwana, navyo vilitumika wakati aliposhukuru, akisema, “Upendo wake wadumu milele.” Mkabala na Walawi, makuhani walipiga tarumbeta zao, nao Waisraeli wote walikuwa wamesimama.
And the priests on duties their [were] standing and the Levites with [the] instruments of song of Yahweh which he had made David the king to give thanks to Yahweh for [is] for ever covenant loyalty his when praised David by hand their and the priests ([were] blowing a trumpet *Q(k)*) before them and all Israel [were] standing.
7 Solomoni akaweka wakfu sehemu ya katikati ya ua uliokuwa mbele ya Hekalu la Bwana na hapo akatoa sadaka za kuteketezwa na mafuta ya sadaka za amani, kwa sababu madhabahu ya shaba aliyokuwa ametengeneza haikutosha kuweka sadaka hizo zote za kuteketezwa, sadaka za nafaka na za mafuta.
And he consecrated Solomon [the] middle of the courtyard which [was] before [the] house of Yahweh for he offered there the burnt offerings and [the] fat of the peace offerings for [the] altar of bronze which he had made Solomon not it was able to contain the burnt offering and the grain offering and the fat.
8 Hivyo Solomoni akaiadhimisha sikukuu wakati ule kwa muda wa siku saba, na Israeli wote pamoja naye. Walikuwa kusanyiko kubwa sana, watu kutoka Lebo-Hamathi hadi Kijito cha Misri.
And he observed Solomon the festival at the time that seven days and all Israel [was] with him an assembly great very from Lebo Hamath to [the] wadi of Egypt.
9 Katika siku ya nane walifanya kusanyiko, kwa kuwa walikuwa wanaadhimisha kuwekwa wakfu kwa madhabahu kwa muda wa siku saba na sikukuu kwa muda wa siku nyingine saba zaidi.
And they observed on the day eighth an assembly for - [the] dedication of the altar they had observed seven days and the festival seven days.
10 Katika siku ya ishirini na tatu ya mwezi wa saba Solomoni akawaaga watu waende nyumbani mwao, wakishangilia na kufurahi mioyoni mwao, kwa wema mwingi Bwana Mungu aliomtendea Daudi na Solomoni na kwa ajili ya watu wake Israeli.
And on day twenty and three of the month seventh he sent away the people to tents their joyful and good of heart on the good which he had done Yahweh for David and for Solomon and for Israel people his.
11 Solomoni alipomaliza kujenga Hekalu la Bwana na jumba la kifalme, naye akiwa amefanikiwa kutenda yale yote aliyokuwa nayo moyoni mwake kufanya katika Hekalu la Bwana na katika jumba lake mwenyewe la kifalme,
And he finished Solomon [the] house of Yahweh and [the] house of the king and every [thing which] was coming on [the] heart of Solomon to do in [the] house of Yahweh and in own house his he made successful.
12 Bwana akamtokea Solomoni usiku na kumwambia: “Nimesikia maombi yako nami nimechagua mahali hapa kwa ajili yangu mwenyewe kuwa Hekalu kwa ajili ya dhabihu.
And he appeared Yahweh to Solomon in the night and he said to him I have heard prayer your and I have chosen the place this for myself for a house of sacrifice.
13 “Wakati nitakapofunga mbingu ili isiwepo mvua, au nikiamuru nzige kula mazao ya nchi au nikituma tauni miongoni mwa watu wangu,
Here! I will shut up the heavens and not it will be rain and here! I will command to [the] grasshopper to devour the land and if I will send pestilence among people my.
14 kama watu wangu, wanaoitwa kwa Jina langu, watajinyenyekesha na kuomba na kuutafuta uso wangu na kuacha njia zao mbaya, basi nitasikia toka mbinguni na kuwasamehe dhambi yao na nitaiponya nchi yao.
So they may humble themselves people my which it has been called name my on them so they may pray and they may seek face my so they may turn from ways their wicked and I I will hear from the heavens so I may forgive sin their so I may heal land their.
15 Sasa macho yangu yatafumbuka na masikio yangu yatasikiliza kwa makini maombi yaombwayo mahali hapa.
Now eyes my they will be open and ears my attentive to [the] prayer of the place this.
16 Kwa maana sasa nimechagua na kutakasa Hekalu hili ili kwamba Jina langu lipate kuwa huko milele. Macho yangu na moyo wangu utakuwepo huko daima.
And now I have chosen and I have consecrated the house this to be name my there until perpetuity and they will be eyes my and heart my there all the days.
17 “Kwa habari yako wewe, kama ukienenda mbele zangu kama Daudi baba yako alivyoenenda na kufanya yote nikuamuruyo, nawe ukizishika amri zangu na sheria zangu,
And you if you will walk before me just as he walked David father your and to do according to all that I have commanded you and statutes my and judgments my you will observe.
18 Nitakiimarisha kiti chako cha enzi kama nilivyoagana na Daudi baba yako niliposema, ‘Hutakosa kamwe mtu wa kutawala juu ya Israeli.’
And I will establish [the] throne of kingdom your just as I made to David father your saying not it will be cut off to you a man [who] rules over Israel.
19 “Lakini kama ukigeuka na kuyaacha maagizo na amri nilizowapa na kwenda kuitumikia miungu mingine na kuiabudu,
And if you will turn away! you and you will forsake statutes my and commandments my which I have set before you and you will go and you will serve gods other and you will bow down to them.
20 ndipo nitakapoingʼoa Israeli kutoka nchi yangu niliyowapa, nami nitalikataa Hekalu hili nililolitakasa kwa ajili ya Jina langu. Nitalifanya kitu cha kudharauliwa na kitu cha kudhihakiwa miongoni mwa watu wote.
And I will pluck up them from on land my which I have given to them and the house this which I have consecrated for name my I will throw away from on face my and I will make it into a byword and into a taunt among all the peoples.
21 Ingawa Hekalu hili linavutia sana sasa, wote watakaolipita watashangaa na kusema, ‘Kwa nini Bwana amefanya kitu kama hiki katika nchi hii na kwa Hekalu hili?’
And the house this which it was most high to every [one who] passes by at it he will be appalled and he will say how? did he do Yahweh thus to the land this and to the house this.
22 Watu watajibu, ‘Ni kwa sababu wamemwacha Bwana, Mungu wa baba zao, aliyewatoa Misri, nao wamekumbatia miungu mingine, wakaiabudu na kuitumikia, ndiyo sababu ameyaleta maafa haya yote juu yao.’”
And people will say on that they forsook Yahweh - [the] God of ancestors their who he brought out them from [the] land of Egypt and they took hold on gods other and they bowed down to them and they served them there-fore he has brought on them all the calamity this.
