< II Oihanaalii 7 >

1 A HOOKI o Solomona i ka pule, iho mai la ke ahi, mai ka lani mai, a ai iho la i ka mohaikuni, a me na mohai e ae; a piha ae la ka hale i ka nani o Iehova.
Now when Solomon had finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the LORD’s glory filled the house.
2 Aole hiki i ka poe kahuna ke komo iloko o ka hale o Iehova, no ka mea, ua piha ka hale o Iehova i ka nani o Iehova.
The priests could not enter into the LORD’s house, because the LORD’s glory filled the LORD’s house.
3 A ike ka Iseraela a pau i ka iho ana mai o ke ahi, a me ka nani o Iehova maluna o ka hale, alaila, kulou iho la lakou ilalo ko lakou mau maka ma ka honua, ma ke kipapa, a hoomana lakou, a hoolea aku ia Iehova, No ka mea, ua maikai ia, ua mau loa kona aloha.
All the children of Israel looked on, when the fire came down, and the LORD’s glory was on the house. They bowed themselves with their faces to the ground on the pavement, worshipped, and gave thanks to the LORD, saying, “For he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever!”
4 A o ke alii a me na kanaka a pau, mohai aku la lakou i na mohai imua o Iehova.
Then the king and all the people offered sacrifices before the LORD.
5 A mohai aku la ke alii o Solomona i ka mohai i na bipi he iwakaluakumamalua tausani, a me na hipa hookahi haneri me ka iwaka lua tausani, Pela i hoolaa ai ke alii a me na kanaka a pau i ka hale o ke Akua.
King Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty-two thousand head of cattle and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the people dedicated God’s house.
6 Ku iho la na kahuna ma ko lakou wahi, a o na mamo a Levi, me na mea kani o Iehova, na mea a Davida ke alii i hana'i e hoolea aku ia Iehova, No ka mea, ua mau loa kona aloha: i ka wa i hoolea aku ai o Davida ma ia mau mea, hookani no hoi na kahuna i ka pu imua o lakou, a ku iluna ka Iseraela a pau.
The priests stood, according to their positions; the Levites also with instruments of music of the LORD, which David the king had made to give thanks to the LORD, when David praised by their ministry, saying “For his loving kindness endures forever.” The priests sounded shofars before them; and all Israel stood.
7 Hoolaa iho la o Solomona i kahi mawaena konu o ka pahale imua o ka hale o Iehova; no ka mea, malaila oia i mohai aku ai i ka mohai, a me ka momona o na mohai aloha, no ka mea, o ke kuahu keleawe a Solomona i hana'i, he uuku ia i ka mohai kuni, a me na mo hai ai, a me na momona.
Moreover Solomon made the middle of the court that was before the LORD’s house holy; for there he offered the burnt offerings and the fat of the peace offerings, because the bronze altar which Solomon had made was not able to receive the burnt offering, the meal offering, and the fat.
8 Hana iho la o Solomona ia manawa, i ka ahaaina i na la ehiku, a me ia pu ka Iseraela a pau, he ahakanaka nui loa mai ka mokuna o Hamata a hiki i ka muliwai o Aigupita.
So Solomon held the feast at that time for seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great assembly, from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of Egypt.
9 A i ka walu o ka la he halawai ahaaina ko lakou, no ka mea, ehiku la o ko lakou hoolaa ana i ke kuahu, a ehiku la ka lakou ahaaina ana.
On the eighth day, they held a solemn assembly; for they kept the dedication of the altar seven days, and the feast seven days.
10 A i ka la iwakaluakumamakolu o ka malama ehiku, hookuu aku la oia i ka poe kanaka e hoi ma ko lakou mau halelewa, e hauoli ana me ka naau olioli no ka maikai a Iehova i hana'i ia Davida, a ia Solomona, a i kona poe kanaka i ka Iseraela.
On the twenty-third day of the seventh month, he sent the people away to their tents, joyful and glad of heart for the goodness that the LORD had shown to David, to Solomon, and to Israel his people.
11 Pela i paa ai ia Solomona ka hale o Iehova, a me ka hale o ke alii, a hoopau pomaikai iho la ia na mea a pau i komo iloko o ka naau o Solomona e hana iloko o ka hale o Iehova, a i kona hale iho.
Thus Solomon finished the LORD’s house and the king’s house; and he successfully completed all that came into Solomon’s heart to make in the LORD’s house and in his own house.
12 Ua ikeia mai o Iehova e Solomona i ka po, a olelo mai oia ia ia, Ua lohe au i kau pule, a ua koho au i keia wahi no'u i hale mohai.
Then the LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said to him, “I have heard your prayer, and have chosen this place for myself for a house of sacrifice.
13 Ina e pani au i ka lani i ua ole mai, a e kauoha au i ka uhini e ai i na mea o ka aina, a e hoouna paha au i ka mai ahulau maluna o ko'u poe kanaka;
“If I shut up the sky so that there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence amongst my people,
14 Ina e hoohaahaa ko'u poe kanaka ia lakou iho, ka poe i kapaia ko'u inoa maluna o lakou, a e pule lakou, a e imi i ko'u alo, a huli mai ko lakou aoao hewa mai; alaila, e hoolohe au mai ka lani mai, a e kala au i ko lakou hewa, a e hoola i ko lakou aina.
if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
15 Ano, ua kaakaa ko'u mau maka, a ua haliu ko'u pepeiao i ka pule ma keia wahi.
Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to prayer that is made in this place.
16 Ano hoi, na koho au, a ua hoolaa au i keia hale e waiho mau loa ai i ko'u inoa malaila; a malaila ko'u mau maka a me ko'u naau i na la a pau loa:
For now I have chosen and made this house holy, that my name may be there forever; and my eyes and my heart will be there perpetually.
17 A o oe, ina e hele imua o'u e like me Davida kou makuakane i hele ai, e hana e like me na mea a'u i kauoha aku ai ia oe, a e malama oe i ko'u kanawai a me ka'u mau kauoha;
“As for you, if you will walk before me as David your father walked, and do according to all that I have commanded you, and will keep my statutes and my ordinances,
18 Alaila, e hookupaa au i ka nohoalii o kou aupuni, e like me au i hoohiki ai ia Davida, i kou makuakane, i ka i ana'ku ia ia, Aole loa oe e nele i ke kanaka e noho alii maluna o ka Iseraela.
then I will establish the throne of your kingdom, according as I covenanted with David your father, saying, ‘There shall not fail you a man to be ruler in Israel.’
19 Aka, ina e huli e ae oukou, a e haalele i ko'u kanawai. a me na kauoha a'u i haawi aku ai ia oukou, a e hele a e hookauwa aku na na akua e. a e kulou imua o lakou;
But if you turn away and forsake my statutes and my commandments which I have set before you, and go and serve other gods and worship them,
20 Alaila, e hookuke au ia lakou mailoko aku o ka aina a'u i haawi ai ia lakou; a o keia hale ka mea a'u i hoolaa ai no ko'u inoa, e hoolei au mai ko'u alo aku, a e hoolilo au ia mea i mea e hoino ai, a i mea e hoowahawaha aku ai, mawaena o na kanaka a pau.
then I will pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have made holy for my name, I will cast out of my sight, and I will make it a proverb and a byword amongst all peoples.
21 A o keia hale ka mea kiekie, e lilo ia i mea e kahaha ai ka poe a pau e maalo ana; a e olelo lakou, No ke aha la i hana'i o Iehova pela i keia aina, a i keia hale?
This house, which is so high, everyone who passes by it will be astonished and say, ‘Why has the LORD done this to this land and to this house?’
22 Alaila e oleloia, No ka mea, ua haalele lakou ia Iehova, i ke Akua o ko lakou poe kupuna, ka mea nana lakou i lawe mai, mai ka aina mai o Aigupita, a ua hoopili aku i na akua e, a ua hoomana ia lakou, a hookauwa na lakou; no ia mea, ua hooili oia i keia poino a pau maluna o lakou.
They shall answer, ‘Because they abandoned the LORD, the God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and took other gods, worshipped them, and served them. Therefore he has brought all this evil on them.’”
