II Oihanaalii 6

1 A LAILA, olelo aku la o Solomona, I mai la o Iehova, e no ho ia iloko o ka pouli nui.

Then said Solomon, The LORD hath said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.

2 Aka, ua kukulu au i hale noho nou, i wahi nou e noho mau loa ai.

But I have built a house of habitation for thee, and a place for thy dwelling for ever.

3 Alaila, huli ae la ko ke alii mau maka, a hoomaikai aku la ia i ka ahakanaka a pau o ka Iseraela; a ku ae la iluna ka ahakanaka a pau o ka Iseraela.

And the king turned his face, and blessed the whole congregation of Israel: and all the congregation of Israel stood.

4 Olelo aku la ia, E hoomaikaiia o Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela, ka mea nana i olelo mai me kona waha ia Davida, i ko'u makuakane, a hooko mai hoi me kona mau lima, i ka i ana mai,

And he said, Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel, who hath with his hands fulfilled [that] which he spoke with his mouth to my father David, saying,

5 Mai ka wa mai a'u i lawe mai ai i ko'u poe kanaka mai ka aina mai o Aigupita, aole au i wae aku i kulanakauhale noloko mai o na ohana a pau o ka Iseraela, i wahi e kukulu ai i hale e waihoia'i ko'u inoa malaila; aole hoi au i wae aku i ke kanaka e noho alii maluna o ko'u poe kanaka o ka Iseraela.

Since the day that I brought forth my people from the land of Egypt I chose no city among all the tribes of Israel to build a house in, that my name might be there; neither chose I any man to be a ruler over my people Israel:

6 Aka, ua wae aku au ia Ierusalema i waihoia'i ko'u inoa malaila; a ua wae aku au ia Davida e noho maluna o ko'u poe kanaka, o ka Iseraela.

But I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and have chosen David to be over my people Israel.

7 Aia no iloko o ka naau o Davida, ko'u makua e kukulu i hale no ka inoa o Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela.

Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of the LORD God of Israel:

8 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Davida, i ko'u makuakane, aia no iloko o kou naau e kukulu i hale no ko'u inoa, a ua pono ia manao iloko o kou naau.

But the LORD said to David my father, Forasmuch as it was in thy heart to build a house for my name, thou didst well in that it was in thy heart;

9 Aka hoi, aole oe e kukulu i ka hale, o kau keiki ka mea e puka mai ana mai loko mai o kou puhaka, oia ka mea nana e kukulu ka hale no ko'u inoa.

Notwithstanding thou shalt not build the house; but thy son who shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house for my name.

10 Ua hooko mai o Iehova i ka olelo ana i olelo mai ai; no ka mea, ua ku ae au mahope o Davida ko'u makuakane, a ke noho nei au maluna o ka noho alii o ka Iseraela e like me ka olelo a Iehova, a ua kukulu au i hale no ka inoa o Iehova, ke Akua o ka Iseraela.

The LORD therefore hath performed his word that he hath spoken; for I am raised up in the room of David my father, and am set on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built the house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.

11 A ua hookomo au ilaila i ka pahu, aia iloko ka berita o Iehova ana i hana'i me ka poe mamo a Iseraela.

And in it have I put the ark, in which [is] the covenant of the LORD, that he made with the children of Israel.

12 Ku ae la iluna o Solomona imua o ke kuahu o Iehova, imua o ka ahakanaka a pau o ka Iseraela, a hohola ae la i kona mau lima.

And he stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands:

13 No ka mea, ua hana o Solomona i awai keleawe, elima kubita ka loa, elima ka laula, a ekolu ke kiekie, a ua waiho oia ia mea mawae na konu o ka pahale; a ku oia ma luna o ia mea, kukuli ihe la ma kona kuli imua o ka ahakanaka a pau o ka Iseraela, a hohola ae la i kona mau lima i ka lani,

(For Solomon had made a brazen scaffold, of five cubits long, and five cubits broad, and three cubits high, and had set it in the midst of the court: and upon it he stood, and kneeled upon his knees before all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands towards heaven, )

14 Olelo aku la ia, E Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela, aohe Akua e like me oe ma ka lani, aole hoi ma ka honua, e malama ana i ka berita a me ke aloha no kau poe kauwa, no ka poe e hele ana imua ou me ko lakou naau a pau.

And said, O LORD God of Israel, [there is] no God like thee in the heaven, nor on the earth; who keepest covenant, and [showest] mercy to thy servants, that walk before thee with all their hearts:

15 Ua malama mai oe i ka mea au i olelo mai ai i kau kauwa ia Davida i ko'u makua. Ua olelo mai oe me kou waha, a ua hooko mai me kou lima e like me ia i keia la.

Thou who hast kept with thy servant David my father that which thou hast promised him; and hast spoken with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled [it] with thy hand, as [it is] this day.

16 Ano, e Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela, e hooko mai no kau kauwa no Davida, no ko'u makuakane i ka mea au i olelo mai ai ia ia, i mai ana, Aole oe e nele i ke kanaka imua o'u e noho maluna o ka noho alii o ka Iseraela, ke malama kau poe mamo i ko lakou aoao e hele ma ko'u kanawai e like me kou he le ana imua o'u.

Now therefore, O LORD God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that which thou hast promised him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit upon the throne of Israel; provided thy children take heed to their way to walk in my law, as thou hast walked before me.

17 Ano, e Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela, e hooiaioia ka olelo au i olelo ai i kau kauwa ia Davida.

Now then, O LORD God of Israel, let thy word be verified, which thou hast spoken to thy servant David.

18 Aka, he mea oiaio anei, e noho ana ke Akua me kanaka ma ka honua? Aia hoi, he uuku ia oe ka lani, a me ka lani o na lani! Pehea hoi keia hale a'u i hana ai!

But will God in very deed dwell with men on the earth? behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house which I have built!

19 E maliu mai i ka pule a kau kauwa, a i ka mea ana i noi aku ai, e Iehova, e ko'u Akua, e hoolohe i ke kahea ana'ku a me ka pule a kau kauwa e pule aku nei imua ou:

Have respect therefore to the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O LORD my God, to hearken to the cry and the prayer which thy servant prayeth before thee:

20 I kaakaa kou mau maka maluna o keia hale i ke ao, a me ka po, maluna o kahi au i olelo ai e waiho mai i kou inoa malaila; e hoolohe i ka pule a kau kauwa e pule aku ai ma keia wahi.

That thy eyes may be open upon this house day and night, upon the place of which thou hast said, that thou wouldst put thy name there; to hearken to the prayer which thy servant prayeth towards this place.

21 E hoolohe mai i ka pule a kau kauwa, a me kou poe kanaka o ka Iseraela, ka mea a lakou i noi aku ai ma keia wahi. E maliu mai oe, mai kou wahi e noho ai, mai ka lani mai, e hoolohe mai a e kala mai hoi.

Hearken therefore to the supplications of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, which they shall make towards this place: hear thou from thy dwelling-place, [even] from heaven; and when thou hearest, forgive.

22 Ina e hana hewa ke kanaka i kona hoalauna, a kauia maluna ona ka olelo hoohiki i mea nona e hoohiki ai, a komo ka olelo hoohiki imua o kou kuahu iloko o keia hale;

If a man shall sin against his neighbor, and an oath be laid upon him to make him swear, and the oath shall come before thy altar in this house;

23 Alaila, e hoolohe mai oe mai ka lani mai, a e hooponopono, a e hookolokolo i kau poe kauwa, e hoouku i ka mea hewa, e hoopai no i kona aoao maluna o kona poo iho; a e apono mai i ka mea pono, e haawi ia ia e like me kona pono iho.

Then hear thou from heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, by requiting the wicked, by recompensing his way upon his own head; and by justifying the righteous, by giving him according to his righteousness.

24 Ina e hee kou poe kanaka o ka Iseraela imua o ko lakou poe enemi, no ka lakou hana hewa ana ia oe; a huli lakou a hooia i kou inoa, a e pule aku a e noi aku imua ou iloko o keia hale;

And if thy people Israel shall be put to the worse before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee; and shall return and confess thy name, and pray and make supplication before thee in this house;

25 Alaila, e hoolohe mai oe mai ka lani mai. a e kala mai i ka hewa o kou poe kanaka o ka Iseraela, a e hoihoi ia lakou ma ka aina au i haawi mai ai ia lakou, a me ko lakou poe kupuna.

Then hear thou from the heavens, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again to the land which thou gavest to them and to their fathers.

26 I ka wa e paa ai ka lani, aohe ua, no ka mea, ua hana hewa lakou ia oe; a pule lakou ma keia hale, a e hooia aku i kou inoa, a e huli ae mai ko lakou hewa mai, i ka wa au e hookaumaha ai ia lakou;

When the heaven is shut, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee; [yet] if they pray towards this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, when thou dost afflict them;

27 Alaila, e hoolohe mai oe mai ka lani mai, a e kala mai i ka hewa o kau poe kauwa, a me kou poe kanaka o ka Iseraela i ka wa e ao ai oe ia lakou i ka aoao maikai kahi a lakou e hele ai; a e haawi mai oe i ka ua maluna o ka aina au i haawi ai i kou poe kanaka i mea e ili mau ana no lakou.

Then hear thou from heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, when thou hast taught them the good way in which they should walk; and send rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy people for an inheritance.

28 Ina he kau wi ma ka aina, he ahulau, he huaai malili paha, a me ka punahelu, a me na uhini, a me na peelua; ina o puni lakou i ko lakou poe enemi, ma ka aina ma ko lakou mau ipuka; o ka eha a me ke kaumaha a pau;

If there shall be dearth in the land, if there be pestilence, if there be blasting, or mildew, locusts, or caterpillars; if their enemies shall besiege them in the cities of their land; whatever calamity, or whatever sickness [there be]:

29 O ka pule a pau, a me ke noi ana'ku a pau a kela kanaka keia kanaka a kou poe kanaka a pau o ka Iseraela e pule aku ai, aia ike kela mea keia mea i kona eha a me kona kaumaha, a e hohola ia i ko na mau lima ma keia hale;

[Then] whatever prayer, [or] whatever supplication shall be made by any man, or by all the people of Israel, when every one shall know his own calamity, and his own grief, and shall spread forth his hands in this house:

30 Alaila, e hoolohe mai oe mai ka lani mai, o kou wahi e noho ai, a e kala mai, a e haawi i kela kanaka keia kanaka e like me kona aoao iho, i kou ike ana i kona naau; (no ka mea, o oe wale no ka i ike i ka naau o na keiki a kanaka; )

Then hear thou from heaven thy dwelling-place, and forgive, and render to every man according to all his ways, whose heart thou knowest (for thou only knowest the hearts of the children of men: )

31 I makau lakou ia oe, i hele ma kou aoao i na la a pau loa o ko lakou ola ana ma ka aina au i haawi mai ai i ko makou poe kupuna.

That they may fear thee, to walk in thy ways, so long as they live in the land which thou gavest to our fathers.

32 A o ka malihini, ka mea aole no kou poe kanaka o ka Iseraela, ka mea i hele mai, mai ka ai na loihi e mai, no kou inoa nui, a no kou lima ikaika, a me kou lima kakauha; a hele mai lakou e pule ma keia hale;

Moreover concerning the stranger, who is not of thy people Israel, but hath come from a distant country for thy great name's sake, and thy mighty hand, and thy out-stretched arm; if they come and pray in this house;

33 Alaila, e hoolohe mai oe mai ka lani mai, mai kou wahi e noho ai, a e hana e like me na mea a ka malihini e kahea aku ai ia oe; i ike na kanaka a pau o ka honua i kou inoa, a i makau lakou ia oe e like me kou poe kanaka o ka Iseraela, a i ike noi lakou ua kapaia kou inoa maluna o keia hale a'u i hana ai.

Then hear thou from the heavens, [even] from thy dwelling-place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for; that all people of the earth may know thy name, and fear thee, as [do] thy people Israel, and may know that this house which I have built is called by thy name.

34 I ka wa i hele aku ai kou poe kanaka e kaua aku i ko lakou poe enemi ma ka aoao au e hoouna aku ai lakou, a e pule lakou ma ke alo ma keia kulanakauhale au i wae mai ai, a ma ka hale a'u i hana ai no kou inoa;

If thy people go out to war against their enemies by the way that thou shalt send them, and they pray to thee towards this city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name;

35 Alaila, e hoolohe mai oe mai ka lani mai i ka lakou pule, a me ko lakou noi ana, a e hoopono mai no lakou.

Then hear thou from the heavens their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.

36 Ina e hana hewa lakou ia oe, (no kamea, aohe kanaka i hana he wa ole, ) a huhu mai oe ia lakou, a haawi oe ia lakou i ko lakou poe enemi, a alakai pio ua poe la ia lakou i ka aina loihi, a i ka aina kokoke paha;

If they sin against thee, (for [there is] no man who sinneth not, ) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them over before [their] enemies, and they carry them away captives to a land far off or near;

37 A e noonoo iho lakou ma ka aina a lakou e noho pio ai, a e huli lakou, a e pule aku ia oe ma ka ai na o ko lakou noho pio ana, me ka i ana'ku, Ua hewa makou, ua lawehala, a ua hana ino aku;

Yet [if] they bethink themselves in the land whither they are carried captive, and turn and pray to thee in the land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have done amiss, and have dealt wickedly;

38 A huli lakou ia oe me ko lakou naau a pau, a me ko lakou uhane a pau, ma ka aina o ko lakou noho pio ana kahi i lawe pio ia'i lakou, a pule aku lakou me ka haliu mai o ke alo ma ko lakou aina ka mea au i haawi mai ai i ko lakou poe kupuna, a ma ke kulanakauhale au i wae mai ai, a me ka hale a'u i kukulu ai no kou inoa;

If they return to thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, whither they have carried them captives, and pray towards their land which thou gavest to their fathers, and [towards] the city which thou hast chosen, and towards the house which I have built for thy name:

39 Alaila, e hoolohe mai oe mai ka lani mai, mai kou wahi e noho ai, i ka lakou pule, a me ko lakou noi ana, a e hoopono mai no lakou, a e kala mai i kou poe kanaka i ka mea a lakou i hana hewa aku ai ia oe.

Then hear thou from the heavens, [even] from thy dwelling-place, their prayer and their supplications, and maintain their cause, and forgive thy people who have sinned against thee.

40 Ano, e ko'u Akua, e weheia kou mau maka, e haliu mai hoi kou mau pepeiao i ka pule ma keia wahi.

Now, my God, let, I beseech thee, thy eyes be open, and [let] thy ears [be] attentive to the prayer [that is made] in this place.

41 E ku oe, ano, e Iehova ke Akua, iloko o kou wahi e maha ai, o oe a me ka pahu o kou mana; o kou poe kahuna, e Iehova ke Akua, e hoaahuia lakou i ke ola, a o kou poe haipule, e olioli lakou i ka maikai.

Now therefore arise, O LORD God, into thy resting-place, thou, and the ark of thy strength: let thy priests, O LORD God, be clothed with salvation, and let thy saints rejoice in goodness.

42 E Iehova ke Akua, mai pale ae i ka maka o kau mea i poni ai; e hoomanao oe i ke aloha no Davida, no kau kauwa.

O LORD God, turn not away the face of thy anointed: remember the mercies of David thy servant.
