2 Nyakati 6

1 Kisha Selemani akasema, “Yahwe alisema kwamba ataishi katika giza nene,

Then he said Solomon Yahweh he has said to dwell in thick darkness.

2 lakini nimekujengea makao makuu, sehemu kwa ajili yako ya kuishi milele.”

And I I have built a house of loftiness for you and a place to dwell in you forever.

3 Kisha mfaalme akageuka nyuma na kuwabariki kusanyiko lote la Israeli, wakati kusanyiko lote la Israeli walikuwa wamesimama.

And he turned the king face his and he blessed all [the] assembly of Israel and all [the] assembly of Israel [was] standing.

4 Akasema, “Yahwe, Mungu wa Israeli, usifiwe, uliyesema na Daudi baba yangu, na ametimiza kwa mikono yake mwenyewe, akisema.

And he said [be] blessed Yahweh [the] God of Israel who he spoke with mouth his with David father my and by hands his he has fulfilled saying.

5 'Tangu siku nilipowaleta watu wanagu nje ya nchi ya Misiri, sikuchaagua mji wowote nje ya makabaila yote ya Israeli ambamo nyumba ingejengwa, ili jina lanagu liwe humo. Wala sikuchagua mtu yeyote kuwa mfalme juu ya watu wangu Israeli.

Since the day when I brought out people my from [the] land of Egypt not I have chosen a city from all [the] tribes of Israel to build a house to be name my there and not I have chosen a person to be ruler over people my Israel.

6 Aidha, nimechagua Yeruselemu, ili kwamba jina langu liwe humo, na nimemchagua Daudi kuwa juu ya watu wanagu Israeli. '

And I have chosen Jerusalem to be name my there and I have chosen David to be over people my Israel.

7 Sasa ilikuwa ndani ya moyo wa Daudi baba yangu, kujenga nyumba kwa ajili ya jina la Yahwe, Mungu wa Israeli.

And it was with [the] heart of David father my to build a house for [the] name of Yahweh [the] God of Israel.

8 Lakini Yahwe alisema kwa Daudi Baba yanagu. 'Kwmba ilikuwa ndani ya moyo wako kujenga nyumba kwa ajili ya jina langu, ulifanya vizuri kwa hili kuliweka moyono mwako.

And he said Yahweh to David father my because that it was with heart your to build a house for name my you did well for it was with heart your.

9 Aidha, hutaijenga ile nyumba, badala yake, mwanao, mmoja atakayetoka kwenye viuno vyako, ataijenga nyumba kwa ajili ya jina langu.'

Only you not you will build the house for son your who comes out from loins your he he will build the house for name my.

10 Yahwe ameyatimiza maneno aliyokuwa amesema, kwa maana nimeiinua sehemu ya Daudi baba yangu, na ninkaa juu ya kiti cha enzi cha Israeli, kama alivyoahidi Yahwe. Nimeijenga nyumba kwa ajii ya jina la Yahwe, Mungu wa Israeli.

And he has established Yahweh word his which he spoke and I have arisen in place of David father my and I have sat - on [the] throne of Israel just as he spoke Yahweh and I have built the house for [the] name of Yahweh [the] God of Israel.

11 Nimeliweka humo sanduku, amabamo kuna agano la Yahwe, alilofanya na watu wa Israeli.”

And I have put there the ark where [is] there [the] covenant of Yahweh which he made with [the] people of Israel.

12 Selemani akasimama mbele ya madhabahu ya Yahwe mbele za kusanyiko lote la Israeli, na akanyosha mikono yake.

And he stood before [the] altar of Yahweh before all [the] assembly of Israel and he spread out hands his.

13 Kwa mana alikuwa ametengeneza jukwaa la shaba, lenye urefu wa mikono mitano, upana wa mikono mitano, urefu wake kwenda juu mikono mitatu. Alikuwa ameliweka katika ya uwanja. Akasimama juu yake na kupiga magoti mbele ya kusanyiko la Israeli, kisha akanyosha mikono yake kuzielekea mbingu.

For he had made Solomon a platform of bronze and he had put it in [the] middle of the precinct [was] five cubits length its and [was] five cubits breadth its and [was] cubits three height its and he stood on it and he knelt down on knees his before all [the] assembly of Israel and he spread out hands his the heavens towards.

14 Akasema, “Yahwe, Mungu wa Israeli, hakuna Mungu kama wewe katika mbingu, au juu ya dunia, ambaye anatunza agano na upendo imara na watumishi wako ambao hutembea mbele zako kwa moyo wao wote;

And he said O Yahweh [the] God of Israel there not like you [is] a God in the heavens and on the earth [who] keeps the covenant and covenant loyalty to servants your who walk before you with all heart their.

15 wewe uliyetimtimizia Daudi baba yanagu, uliyokuwa umemwahidi. Ndiyo, ulisema kwa kinywa chako na umetimiza kwa mkono wako, kama ilivyo leo.

Who you have kept to servant your David father my [that] which you spoke to him and you spoke with mouth your and by hand your you have fulfilled as the day this.

16 Sasa, Yahwe, Mungu wa Israeli, tunza ahadi uliyoahidi kwa mtumishi wako Daudi baba yangu, uliposema, 'Hautashindwa kupata mtu mbele yangu wa kukaa juu ya kiti cha enzi cha Israeli, ikiwa tu uzao wako ni waangalifu kutembea katika sheria yangu, kama wewe ulivyotembea mbele zangu.

And now O Yahweh - [the] God of Israel keep to servant your David father my [that] which you spoke to him saying not it will be cut off to you a man from to before me [who] sits on [the] throne of Israel only if they will guard descendants your way their to walk in law my just as you have walked before me.

17 Sasa, Mungu wa Israeli, ninaomba kwamba ahadi uliyofanya kwa mtumishi wako Daudi itakuwa kweli.

And now O Yahweh [the] God of Israel let it be established word your which you spoke to servant your to David.

18 Lakini kweli Mungu ataishi na wanadamu juu ya dunia? Angalia, dunia yoye na mbugu yenyewe haviwezi kukubeba -sembuse na hekalu hili nililojenga!

For ¿ really will he dwell God with humankind on earth here! heaven and [the] heavens of the heavens not they will contain you indeed? for the house this which I have built.

19 Nakusihi yaheshimu maombi haya ya mtumishi wako na ombi lake. Yahwe Mungu wangu; sikia kilio na amaombi ambayo mtumishi wako anaomba mbele zako.

And you will turn to [the] prayer of servant your and to supplication his O Yahweh God my to listen to the cry of entreaty and to the prayer which servant your [is] praying before you.

20 Fumbua macho yako kuelekea hekaalu hili usiku na mchana, sehemu aambaayo uliahidi kuliweka jina lako. Nakuomba usikie maombi atakayoomba mtumishi wako kuelekea sehemu hii.

To be eyes your open to the house this by day and night to the place where you have said to put name your there to listen to the prayer which he will pray servant your to the place this.

21 Hivyo sikia maombi ya mtumishi na ya watu wako Israeli tunapoomba kuelekea sehemu hii. Ndiyo, sikia kutoka mahali unapoishi, kutoka mbinguni; na unaposikia, samehe.

And you will listen to [the] supplications of servant your and people your Israel which they will pray to the place this and you you will hear from [the] place of dwelling you from the heavens and you will hear and you will forgive.

22 Kama mtu atamtenda dhambi jirani yake na ikampasa kuapa kiapo, na ikiwa atakuja na kuapa kiapo mbele ya madhabahu yako katika nyumba hii,

If he will sin anyone to neighbor his and he will impose on him an oath to put under an oath him and he will come he will swear an oath before altar your in the house this.

23 basi sikia kutoka mbinguni na kutend na ukawahukumu watumishi wako, ukamlipizie mwovu, ili kuyaleta matendo yake juu ya kichwa chake. Ukamtangaze mwenye haki kuwa hana hatia, ili kumlipa thawabu kwa ajili ya uaminifu wake.

And you - you will hear from the heavens and you will act and you will judge servants your to repay to a guilty [person] to requite conduct his on own head his and to vindicate a righteous [person] to give to him according to righteousness his.

24 Watu wako watakaposhindwa na adui kwa sababu wamekutenda dhambi, kama watageuka nyuma kwako, wakilikili jina lako, wakisali na kuomba msamaha mbele zako hekaluni—

And if it will be defeated people your Israel before an enemy for they will sin to you and they will return and they will praise name your and they will pray and they will seek favor before you in the house this.

25 basi tafadhali sikia mbinguni na usamehe dhambi za watu wako Isaraeli; uwarudishe katika nchi uliyoitoa kwa ajili yao na baba zao.

And you you will hear from the heavens and you will forgive [the] sin of people your Israel and you will bring back them to the land which you gave to them and to ancestors their.

26 Wakati mbingu zimefungwa na hakuna mvua kwa sababu watu wamekutenda dhambi—ikiwa wataomba kuelekea sehemu hii, wakilikili jina lako, na kuziacha dhambi zao utakapokuwa umewaadhibu—

When are shut up the heavens and not it will be rain for they will sin to you and they will pray to the place this and they will praise name your from sin their they will turn back! for you will afflict them.

27 basi sikia mbinguni na usamehe dhambi za watumishi wako na watu wako Israeli, utakapowaelekeza kwenye njia njema iwapasayo kutembea. Tuma mvua juu ya nchi yako, ambayo umewapa watu wako kama urithi.

And you - you will hear the heavens and you will forgive [the] sin of servants your and people your Israel that you will direct them to the way good which they will walk in it and you will give rain on land your which you gave to people your for an inheritance.

28 Kama kuna njaa katika nchi, au kama kuna ugonjwa, tauni au ukungu, nzige au viwavijeshi, au kama adui wake wameyavamia malango ya mji katika nchi yao, au kwamba kuna pigo lolote au ugonjwa—

Famine if it will be in the land pestilence for it will be blight and mildew locust[s] and locust[s] for it will be that he will lay siege to it enemies its in [the] land of gates its any plague and any sickness.

29 na ikiwa sala na maombi yamefanywa na mtu au watu wako wote Israel—kila mmoja akilijua pigo na huzuni katika moyo wake akinyosha mikono yake kuelekea hekalu hili.

Every prayer every supplication which it will belong to any person and to all people your Israel who they will know everyone own plague his and own pain his and he will spread out hands his to the house this.

30 Basi sikiliza mbinguni, sehemu ambayo unaishi; samehe, na umlipe kila mtu kwa njia zake zote; uhaujua moyo wake, kwa sababu wewe na ni wewe pekee unaijua mioyo ya wanadamu.

And you you will hear from the heavens [the] place of dwelling you and you will forgive and you will give to the person according to all ways his whom you will know heart his for you to alone you you know [the] heart of [the] children of humankind.

31 Fanya hivyo ili kwamba wakuogope wewe, ili waweze kutembea katika katika njia zako siku zote ambazo wataishi katika nchi uliyowapa baba zetu.

So that they may fear you to walk in ways your all the days which they [are] alive on [the] surface of the land which you gave to ancestors our.

32 Kwa mgeni ambaye siyo sehemu ya watu wako Israeli, lakini ambaye- kwa sababu ya ukuu wa jina lako, mkono wako wenye nguvu, na mkono wako ulionyoshwa- akija na kuomba kuelekea sehemu nyumba hii,

And also to the foreigner who not [is] one of people your Israel he and he will come - from a land distant for [the] sake of name your great and hand your mighty and arm your outstretched and they will come and they will pray to the house this.

33 basi sikiliza mbinguni, sehemu ambayo unaishi, na fanya yote ambayo mgeni atakuomba, ili kwamba watu wote wa dunia walijue jina lako na kukuogopa wewe, kama wafanyavyo watu wako Israeli, na kwamba waweze kujua kwamba nyumba hii niliyoijenga inaitwa kwa jina lako.

And you you will hear from the heavens from [the] place of dwelling you and you will do according to all that he will call out to you the foreigner so that they may know all [the] peoples of the earth name your and to fear you like people your Israel and to know that name your it has been called on the house this which I have built.

34 Ikiwa kwamba watu wako wakaenda nje kupigana dhidi ya adui zao, kwa njia yoyote amabayo unaweza kuwatuma, na ikiwa kwamba wakaomba kwako kuelekea mji huu ambao umeuchagua, na kuelekea nyumba ambayo nimeijenga kwa ajili ya jina lako.

If it will go forth people your for battle on enemies its by the way which you will send them and they will pray to you [the] direction of the city this which you have chosen it and the house which I have built for name your.

35 Basi sikiliza maombi yao mbinguni, ombi lao, na uwasaidie.

And you will hear from the heavens prayer their and supplication their and you will do justice their.

36 Kama wametenda dhambi dhidi yako—kwa kuwa hakuna asiye tenda dhambi—na ikiwa una hasira nao na kuwakabidhi kwa adui zao, ili kwamba adui wakawabeba na kuwachukua kama mateka kwa ajili ya nchi zao, iwe mbali au karibu.

If they will sin to you for there not [is] anyone who not he sins and you will be angry with them and will you deliver up them before an enemy and they will take captive them captors their to a land distant or near.

37 Kisha wakatambua kuwa wako katika nchi ambako wamewekwa utumwani, na ikiwa watatubu na kutafuta msaada kwako katika utumwa wao. ikiwa watasema, 'Tumetenda kinyume na kutenda dhambi. Tumetenda kwa uovu,'

And they will bring back to heart their in the land where they have been taken captive there and they will repent - and they will seek favor to you in [the] land of captivity their saying we have sinned we have done wrong and we have acted wickedly.

38 ikiwa watarudi kwako kwa mioyo yao yote na kwa nia yao yote katika nchi ya utumwa wao, ambako walichuliwa kama mateka, na ikiwa wataomba kukabili nchi yao, uliyowapa babu zao, na kukabili mji ambao uliuchagua na kukabili nyumba ambayo niliijenga kwa ajili ya jina lako.

And they will return to you with all heart their and with all being their in [the] land of captivity their where they took captive them and they will pray [the] direction of land their which you gave to ancestors their and the city which you have chosen and to the house which I have built for name your.

39 Basi sika kutoka mbinguni, mahali unapoishi, sikia kuomba kwao na maombi na wayaombayo, na uwasaidie shida zao. Wasamehe watu wako, ambao wamekutenda dhambi.

And you will hear from the heavens from [the] place of dwelling you prayer their and supplications their and you will do justice their and you will forgive people your who they have sinned to you.

40 Sasa, Mungu wangu, ninakusihi, uyafungue macho yako, na masikio yako yasiskie maombi yatakayofanywa katika sehemu hii.

Now O God my let them be please eyes your open and ears your attentive to [the] prayer of the place this.

41 Sasa basi, amka, Yahwe Mungu, kwenye mahali pako pa kupumzikia, Wewe na sanduku la nguvu zako. Makuhani wako, Yahwe Mungu, wavikwe wokovu, na watakatifu wako wafurahi katika wema.

And now arise! O Yahweh God to resting place your you and [the] ark of strength your priests your O Yahweh God may they be clothed salvation and faithful [people] your may they rejoice in the good.

42 Yahwe Mungu, usiugeuze nyuma uso wa masihi wako. Yakumbuke matendo yako katika agano lako la ufalme kwa ajili ya Daudi, mtumishi wako.

O Yahweh God may not you turn away [the] faces of anointed [one] your remember! [the] covenant loyalti of David servant your.
