2 Chronicles 6
1 Nígbà náà ni Solomoni wí pé, “Olúwa ti sọ wí pé òun yóò máa gbé nínú òkùnkùn tí ó ṣú biribiri;
Then Solomon declared: “The LORD has said that He would dwell in the thick cloud;
2 ṣùgbọ́n èmi ti kọ́ tẹmpili dáradára fún ọ ibi tí ìwọ yóò máa gbé títí láé.”
and I have built You an exalted house, a place for You to dwell forever.”
3 Ní ìgbà tí gbogbo ìjọ Israẹli dúró níbẹ̀, ọba yíjú padà ó sì fi ìbùkún fún gbogbo wọn.
And as the whole assembly of Israel stood there, the king turned around and blessed them all
4 Nígbà náà ni ó sì wí pé: “Ògo ni fún Olúwa, Ọlọ́run Israẹli, tí ó fi ọwọ́ rẹ̀ mú ohun tí ó fi ẹnu rẹ̀ sọ fún Dafidi baba mi ṣẹ. Nítorí tí ó wí pé,
and said: “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who has fulfilled with His own hand what He spoke with His mouth to my father David, saying,
5 ‘Láti ọjọ́ tí èmi ti mú àwọn ènìyàn mi jáde kúrò ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti, èmi kò yan ìlú kan nínú gbogbo ẹ̀yà Israẹli, láti kọ́ ilé, kí orúkọ mi kí ó lè wà níbẹ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi kò yan ẹnikẹ́ni láti jẹ́ olórí lórí Israẹli ènìyàn mi.
‘Since the day I brought My people out of the land of Egypt, I have not chosen a city from any tribe of Israel in which to build a house so that My Name would be there, nor have I chosen anyone to be ruler over My people Israel.
6 Ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí èmi ti yan Jerusalẹmu, kí orúkọ mi le è wà níbẹ̀, èmi sì ti yan Dafidi láti jẹ ọba lórí Israẹli ènìyàn mi.’
But now I have chosen Jerusalem for My Name to be there, and I have chosen David to be over My people Israel.’
7 “Baba mi Dafidi ti ní-in lọ́kàn láti kọ́ tẹmpili fún orúkọ Olúwa, àní Ọlọ́run Israẹli.
Now it was in the heart of my father David to build a house for the Name of the LORD, the God of Israel.
8 Ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa sọ fún Dafidi baba mi pé, ‘Nítorí tí ó wà ní ọkàn rẹ láti kọ́ tẹmpili yìí fún orúkọ mi, ìwọ ṣe ohun dáradára láti ní èyí ní ọkàn rẹ̀.
But the LORD said to my father David, ‘Since it was in your heart to build a house for My Name, you have done well to have this in your heart.
9 Ṣùgbọ́n síbẹ̀, ìwọ kọ́ ni yóò kọ́ tẹmpili náà, bí kò ṣe ọmọ rẹ, ẹni tí o jẹ́ ẹran-ara àti ẹ̀jẹ̀ rẹ: òun ni yóò kọ́ tẹmpili fún orúkọ mi.’
Nevertheless, you are not the one to build it; but your son, your own offspring, will build the house for My Name.’
10 “Olúwa sì ti mú ìlérí rẹ̀ ṣẹ. Èmi ti dìde ní ipò Dafidi baba mi, a sì gbé mi ka ìtẹ́ Israẹli, gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti ṣe ìlérí, èmi sì ti kọ́ tẹmpili fún orúkọ Olúwa, Ọlọ́run Israẹli.
Now the LORD has fulfilled the word that He spoke. I have succeeded my father David, and I sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised. I have built the house for the Name of the LORD, the God of Israel.
11 Níbẹ̀ ni èmi sì gbé àpótí ẹ̀rí Olúwa sí, nínú èyí ti májẹ̀mú ti Olúwa bá àwọn Israẹli ènìyàn mi dá wà.”
And there I have provided a place for the ark, which contains the covenant of the LORD that He made with the children of Israel.”
12 Nígbà náà ni Solomoni dúró níwájú pẹpẹ Olúwa, ní iwájú gbogbo ìjọ ènìyàn Israẹli, ó sì tẹ́ ọwọ́ rẹ̀ méjèèjì.
Then Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in front of the whole assembly of Israel and spread out his hands.
13 Solomoni ṣe àga idẹ kan tí ó jẹ́ ìgbọ̀nwọ́ márùn-ún ní gígùn àti ìgbọ̀nwọ́ márùn-ún fífẹ̀ àti ìgbọ̀nwọ́ mẹ́ta ní gíga, a gbé e sí àárín àgbàlá ti òde. Ó sì dúró ní orí rẹ̀, àti pé ó kúnlẹ̀ lórí eékún rẹ̀ níwájú gbogbo ìjọ ènìyàn Israẹli, ó sì tẹ́ ọwọ́ rẹ̀ méjèèjì sí òkè ọ̀run.
Now Solomon had made a bronze platform five cubits long, five cubits wide, and three cubits high, and had placed it in the middle of the courtyard. He stood on it, knelt down before the whole assembly of Israel, spread out his hands toward heaven,
14 Ó wí pé: “Olúwa, Ọlọ́run Israẹli, kò sí Ọlọ́run tí ó dàbí rẹ ní ọ̀run àti ní ayé: ìwọ tí o pa májẹ̀mú ìfẹ́ rẹ mọ́ pẹ̀lú àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ tí ń fi tọkàntọkàn wọn rìn ní ọ̀nà rẹ.
and said: “O LORD, God of Israel, there is no God like You in heaven or on earth, keeping Your covenant of loving devotion with Your servants who walk before You with all their hearts.
15 Ìwọ tí o pa ìlérí tí o ṣe pẹ̀lú ìránṣẹ́ rẹ Dafidi baba mi mọ́; nítorí ìwọ ti fi ẹnu rẹ ṣe ìlérí àti pé ìwọ ti fi ọwọ́ rẹ mú un ṣẹ; bí ó ti rí lónìí yìí.
You have kept Your promise to Your servant, my father David. What You spoke with Your mouth You have fulfilled with Your hand this day.
16 “Nísinsin yìí Olúwa, Ọlọ́run Israẹli, pa ìlérí tí ó ti ṣe mọ́ fún ìránṣẹ́ rẹ Dafidi baba mi nígbà tí o wí pé, ‘Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ fẹ́ kù láti ní ọkùnrin láti jókòó níwájú mi lórí ìtẹ́ Israẹli, kìkì bí àwọn ọmọ rẹ tí wọ́n bá kíyèsi ara nínú gbogbo ohun tí wọ́n ṣe láti rìn níwájú mi gẹ́gẹ́ bí òfin mi gẹ́gẹ́ bí o sì ti ṣe.’
Therefore now, O LORD, God of Israel, keep for Your servant, my father David, what You promised when You said: ‘You will never fail to have a man to sit before Me on the throne of Israel, if only your descendants guard their way to walk in My law as you have walked before Me.’
17 Nísinsin yìí, Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli, jẹ́ kí ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ tí o ti ṣèlérí fún ìránṣẹ́ rẹ Dafidi kí ó wá sí ìmúṣẹ.
And now, O LORD, God of Israel, please confirm what You promised to Your servant David.
18 “Ṣùgbọ́n ṣé Ọlọ́run nítòótọ́ yóò máa bá àwọn ènìyàn gbé lórí ilẹ̀ ayé bí? Ọ̀run àti ọ̀run gíga kò le gbà ọ́. Báwo ni ó ṣe kéré tó, ilé Olúwa tí mo ti kọ́!
But will God indeed dwell with man upon the earth? Even heaven, the highest heaven, cannot contain You, much less this temple I have built.

Yet regard the prayer and plea of Your servant, O LORD my God, so that You may hear the cry and the prayer that Your servant is praying before You.

May Your eyes be open toward this temple day and night, toward the place where You said You would put Your Name, so that You may hear the prayer that Your servant prays toward this place.

Hear the plea of Your servant and of Your people Israel when they pray toward this place. May You hear from heaven, Your dwelling place. May You hear and forgive.
22 “Nígbà tí ọkùnrin kan bá dẹ́ṣẹ̀ sí ẹnìkejì rẹ̀, tí a sì mú búra, tí ó sì búra níwájú pẹpẹ rẹ nínú ilé yìí,
When a man sins against his neighbor and is required to take an oath, and he comes to take an oath before Your altar in this temple,

then may You hear from heaven and act. May You judge Your servants, condemning the wicked man by bringing down on his own head what he has done, and justifying the righteous man by rewarding him according to his righteousness.
24 “Nígbà tí àwọn ènìyàn rẹ Israẹli bá ní ìjákulẹ̀ níwájú àwọn ọ̀tá nítorí wọ́n ti dẹ́ṣẹ̀ sí ọ àti nígbà tí wọ́n bá sì yípadà, tí wọ́n sì jẹ́wọ́ orúkọ rẹ, tí wọ́n gbàdúrà, tí wọ́n sì bẹ̀bẹ̀ níwájú rẹ nínú ilé Olúwa yìí,
When Your people Israel are defeated before an enemy because they have sinned against You, and they return to You and confess Your name, praying and pleading before You in this temple,

then may You hear from heaven and forgive the sin of Your people Israel. May You restore them to the land You gave to them and their fathers.

When the skies are shut and there is no rain because Your people have sinned against You, and they pray toward this place and confess Your name, and they turn from their sins because You have afflicted them,

then may You hear from heaven and forgive the sin of Your servants, Your people Israel, so that You may teach them the good way in which they should walk. May You send rain on the land that You gave Your people as an inheritance.
28 “Nígbà tí ìyàn tàbí àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn bá wá sí ilẹ̀ náà, ìrẹ̀dànù tàbí ìmúwòdù, eṣú tàbí ẹlẹ́ǹgà, tàbí nígbà tí àwọn ọ̀tá wọn bá yọ wọ́n lẹ́nu nínú ọ̀kan lára àwọn ìlú wọn, ohunkóhun, ìpọ́njú tàbí ààrùn lè wá.

so that they may fear You and walk in Your ways all the days they live in the land that You gave to our fathers.

And as for the foreigner who is not of Your people Israel but has come from a distant land because of Your great name and Your mighty hand and outstretched arm—when he comes and prays toward this temple,

then may You hear from heaven, Your dwelling place, and do according to all for which the foreigner calls to You. Then all the peoples of the earth will know Your name and fear You, as do Your people Israel, and they will know that this house I have built is called by Your Name.
34 “Nígbà tí àwọn ènìyàn rẹ bá lọ sójú ogun lórí àwọn ọ̀tá wọn, nígbàkígbà tí o bá rán wọn, tí wọ́n sì gbàdúrà sí ọ si ìhà ìlú yìí tí ìwọ ti yàn àti ilé Olúwa tí èmi ti kọ́ fún orúkọ rẹ.
