Luo Chronicle 6
1 Na Tokosra Solomon el pre ac fahk, “LEUM GOD, kom sulela tuh kom in muta ke pukunyeng ac yen lohsr.
Then Solomon said, “The LORD has said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
2 Inge nga musaela sie tempul wolana nu sum, Sie acn kom in muta we ma pahtpat.”
But I have built you a house and home, a place for you to dwell in forever.”
3 Mwet Israel nukewa elos tu we, ac tokosra el forang nu selos ac akinsewowoyalos.
The king turned his face, and blessed all the assembly of Israel; and all the assembly of Israel stood.
4 El fahk, “Kaksakin LEUM GOD lun Israel! El liyaung na wulela El orala nu sel David, papa tumuk, ke El tuh fahk,
He said, “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David my father, and has with his hands fulfilled it, saying,
5 ‘Oe ke pacl se nga use mwet luk liki acn Egypt nwe misenge, nga tiana sulela kutena siti in facl Israel tuh in musala sie tempul mwet in alu nu sik we, oayapa nga tiana sulela sie mwet in kol mwet luk mwet Israel.
‘Since the day that I brought my people out of the land of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house in, that my name might be there, and I chose no man to be prince over my people Israel;
6 Tuh pa inge, nga sulela acn Jerusalem tuh in acn se mwet uh fah alu nu sik we, ac David elan leumi mwet luk.’”
but now I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and I have chosen David to be over my people Israel.’
7 Ac Solomon el tafwela ac fahk, “David, papa tumuk, el tuh nunku elan musai sie tempul in nien alu nu sin LEUM GOD lun Israel,
Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel.
8 tusruktu LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel, ‘Wo lah kom lungse musai sie tempul nu sik,
But the LORD said to David my father, ‘Whereas it was in your heart to build a house for my name, you did well that it was in your heart;
9 tusruktu tia kom pa ac musai, a wen nutum — wen na pwaye se nutum — pa ac musai tempul in akfulatye Inek.’
nevertheless you shall not build the house, but your son who will come out of your body, he shall build the house for my name.’
10 “Inge LEUM GOD El akpwayeye wuleang lal: nga aolla David, papa tumuk, in tokosra lun Israel, ac nga musaela sie tempul tuh mwet uh in alu we nu sin LEUM GOD lun Israel.
“The LORD has performed his word that he spoke; for I have risen up in the place of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built the house for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel.
11 Ac nga likiya in Tempul, Tuptup in Wuleang, su nein eot luo ma simla wuleang su LEUM GOD El orala yurin mwet Israel.”
There I have set the ark, in which is the LORD’s covenant, which he made with the children of Israel.”
12 Ouinge, ye mutun mwet uh Solomon el som ac tu mutun loang uh, ac sralak paol ac pre.
He stood before the LORD’s altar in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands
13 (Solomon el tuh orala sie loang mwe tu ke bronze, ac filiya infulwen nien tukeni ke mutun Tempul. Mwe tu se inge fit oalkosr lusa, oalkosr sralap, ac limekosr fulat. Na el fanyak nu fin mwe tu sac ac sikukmutunteyak ac sralak paol nu lucng ac pre yen mwet nukewa ku in liyal we.)
(for Solomon had made a bronze platform, five cubits long, five cubits wide, and three cubits high, and had set it in the middle of the court; and he stood on it, and knelt down on his knees before all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands towards heaven).
14 El pre ac fahk, “LEUM GOD lun Israel, wangin sie god oana kom inkusrao ac fin faclu. Kom akpwayeye wuleang lom yurin mwet lom, ac kom akkalemye lungse lom nu selos ke elos akos kom ke insialos nufon.
Then he said, “LORD, the God of Israel, there is no God like you in heaven or on earth—you who keep covenant and loving kindness with your servants who walk before you with all their heart;
15 Kom karinganang wulela lom nu sel David, papa tumuk. Misenge akpwayeyuk kas nukewa oana ma kom fahkla.
who have kept with your servant David my father that which you promised him. Yes, you spoke with your mouth, and have fulfilled it with your hand, as it is today.
16 Inge, LEUM GOD lun Israel, liyaung pac wulela se ngia ma kom tuh orala nu sin papa tumuk ke kom tuh fahk nu sel mu sie sin tulik natul ac fah tokosra fin acn Israel in pacl e nukewa, elos fin arulana akos ma sap lom oana el.
“Now therefore, LORD, the God of Israel, keep with your servant David my father that which you have promised him, saying, ‘There shall not fail you a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if only your children take heed to their way, to walk in my law as you have walked before me.’
17 Ouinge, LEUM GOD lun Israel, lela ma nukewa in akpwayeyuk oana wulela lom nu sel David, mwet kulansap lom.
Now therefore, LORD, the God of Israel, let your word be verified, which you spoke to your servant David.
18 “Tusruktu, ya pwaye kom, God, ac ku in muta inmasrlon mwet faclu? Finne yohk lun kusrao, sufalla kom in muta we, na ac fuka Tempul se nga musaela inge in tuh fal lupa nu sum?
“But will God indeed dwell with men on the earth? Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens can’t contain you; how much less this house which I have built!
19 LEUM GOD luk, nga mwet kulansap lom. Porongo pre luk, ac topuk mwe siyuk luk nu sum.
Yet have respect for the prayer of your servant and to his supplication, LORD my God, to listen to the cry and to the prayer which your servant prays before you;
20 Karinganang Tempul se inge ke len ac fong. Kom wulela mu pa inge acn mwet uh in alu nu sum we. Ouinge, lohngyu ke pacl nga forang nu ke Tempul se inge ac pre.
that your eyes may be open towards this house day and night, even towards the place where you have said that you would put your name, to listen to the prayer which your servant will pray towards this place.
21 Lohng pre luk oayapa pre lun mwet Israel, mwet lom, ke elos forang nu ke acn se inge ac pre nu sum. Lohng pre lasr liki acn sum inkusrao, ac nunak munas nu sesr.
Listen to the petitions of your servant and of your people Israel, when they pray towards this place. Yes, hear from your dwelling place, even from heaven; and when you hear, forgive.
22 “Fin utukyak sie mwet nu ye mutun loang in Tempul lom tuh elan oru fulahk lal lah wangin mwatal, ac nunkeyuk mu el orala ma koluk lain sie pac mwet,
“If a man sins against his neighbour, and an oath is laid on him to cause him to swear, and he comes and swears before your altar in this house,
23 O LEUM GOD, lohng inkusrao me, ac nununku mwet kulansap lom inge. Sang kalya fal nu sin kutena mwet su orala ma koluk, ac tulala mwet su wangin ma koluk lalos.
then hear from heaven, act, and judge your servants, bringing retribution to the wicked, to bring his way on his own head; and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.
24 “Ke pacl mwet Israel lom elos kutangyukla sin mwet lokoalok lalos ke sripen elos oru ma koluk lain kom, na elos fin forla nu sum ac tuku nu ke Tempul se inge ke inse pusisal ac pre nu sum in siyuk ke nunak munas,
“If your people Israel are struck down before the enemy because they have sinned against you, and they turn again and confess your name, and pray and make supplication before you in this house,
25 porongo mwe siyuk lalos inkusrao me. Nunak munas ke ma koluk lun mwet lom, ac folokunulosme nu ke facl se su kom tuh sang nu selos ac nu sin mwet matu lalos.
then hear from heaven, and forgive the sin of your people Israel, and bring them again to the land which you gave to them and to their fathers.
26 “Ke kom sruokya af lom ke sripen mwet lom elos orekma koluk lain kom, na ke elos auliyak ac forang nu ke Tempul se inge ac pre nu sum ke inse pusisel,
“When the sky is shut up and there is no rain because they have sinned against you, if they pray towards this place and confess your name, and turn from their sin when you afflict them,
27 O LEUM GOD, porongalos inkusrao me, ac nunak munas nu sin mwet kulansap lom mwet Israel, ac luti nu selos in oru ma suwohs. Na kom, O LEUM GOD, fah supwama af nu fin facl se inge su kom sang nu sin mwet lom tuh in mwe usru lalos nwe tok.
then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of your servants, your people Israel, when you teach them the good way in which they should walk, and send rain on your land, which you have given to your people for an inheritance.
28 “Ke pacl in sracl, ku mas upa sikyak fin acn uh, ku fokin acn uh musalla ke eng ac fol upa ac un locust, ku ke pacl mwet lokoalok elos mweuni mwet lom, ku elos maskin mas keok,
“If there is famine in the land, if there is pestilence, if there is blight or mildew, locust or caterpillar; if their enemies besiege them in the land of their cities; whatever plague or whatever sickness there is—
29 porongo pre lalos. Fin oasr inmasrlon mwet lom mwet Israel, pulakunak asor lun insialos, ac kolma paolos nu ke Tempul se inge ac pre nu sum,
whatever prayer and supplication is made by any man, or by all your people Israel, who will each know his own plague and his own sorrow, and shall spread out his hands towards this house,
30 lohng pre lalos. Porongo mwe siyuk lalos yen sum inkusrao, ac nunak munas nu selos. Oru nu sin kais mwet oana ma fal nu sel, tuh kom mukena etu nunak lun mwet uh.
then hear from heaven your dwelling place and forgive, and render to every man according to all his ways, whose heart you know (for you, even you only, know the hearts of the children of men),
31 Na mwet lom ac fah akfulatye kom ac akos kom pacl e nukewa ke elos muta in facl se su kom sang nu sin mwet matu lasr.
that they may fear you, to walk in your ways as long as they live in the land which you gave to our fathers.
32 “Oayapa ke pacl mwetsac su muta in sie acn loesula lohng ke pwengpeng ac ku lom, ac lah kom akola pacl nukewa in kasru, elos ac tuku in pre ke Tempul se inge,
“Moreover, concerning the foreigner, who is not of your people Israel, when he comes from a far country for your great name’s sake and your mighty hand and your outstretched arm, when they come and pray towards this house,
33 porongo pac pre lalos. Lohng kas lalos yen kom muta we inkusrao, ac oru ma elos siyuk kac, na mwet nukewa fin faclu fah etekom ac akos kom, oana mwet Israel lom elos oru. Na elos fah etu lah Tempul se nga musaela inge pa acn se mwet uh in alu nu sum we.
then hear from heaven, even from your dwelling place, and do according to all that the foreigner calls to you for; that all the peoples of the earth may know your name and fear you, as do your people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by your name.
34 “Ke pacl kom sapkin nu sin mwet lom in som mweuni mwet lokoalok lalos, ac ke elos pre nu sum in kutena acn elos oasr we, ac forma nu ke siti se inge yen kom sulela, ac nu ke Tempul se ma nga musaela nu sum inge,
“If your people go out to battle against their enemies, by whatever way you send them, and they pray to you towards this city which you have chosen, and the house which I have built for your name;
35 porongo pre lalos. Lohng pusralos yen sum inkusrao, ac sang kutangla nu selos.
then hear from heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.
36 “Ke pacl mwet lom orala ma koluk lain kom — aok, wangin sie mwet tia oru ma koluk — na ke sripen kasrkusrak lom kom lela mwet lokoalok lalos in kutangulosla ac usalosla tuh elos in mwet kapur nu in kutu acn saya, finne acn sac oan loesula,
“If they sin against you (for there is no man who doesn’t sin), and you are angry with them and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captive to a land far off or near;
37 porongo pre lun mwet lom. Elos fin auliyak ac pre nu sum ke elos srakna muta ingo, ac fahkak lupan ma koluk ma elos orala, O LEUM GOD, lohng pre lalos.
yet if they come to their senses in the land where they are carried captive, and turn again, and make supplication to you in the land of their captivity, saying, ‘We have sinned, we have done perversely, and have dealt wickedly;’
38 Elos fin auliyak ke pwaye yen elos muta we, ac pre nu sum ke elos forma nu ke facl se inge su kom sang nu sin mwet matu lasr, oayapa nu ke siti se inge su kom sulela, ac nu ke Tempul se inge su nga musaela nu sum,
if they return to you with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, where they have been taken captive, and pray towards their land which you gave to their fathers, and the city which you have chosen, and towards the house which I have built for your name;
39 na kom in porongo pre lalos. Lohngolos in acn sum inkusrao, ac pakoten nu selos, ac sisla ma koluk lun mwet lom nukewa.
then hear from heaven, even from your dwelling place, their prayer and their petitions, and maintain their cause, and forgive your people who have sinned against you.
40 “Inge, O God luk, ngeta nu facsr, ac porongo pre nukewa su orek in acn se inge.
“Now, my God, let, I beg you, your eyes be open, and let your ears be attentive to the prayer that is made in this place.
41 Ke ma inge, LEUM GOD, tuyak wi Tuptup in Wuleang su mwe akul lun ku lom, ac utyak nu in Tempul se inge ac muta we ma pahtpat. Akinsewowoye mwet tol in ma nukewa elos oru, ac lela mwet lom nukewa in engankin wolana lom nu selos.
“Now therefore arise, LORD God, into your resting place, you, and the ark of your strength. Let your priests, LORD God, be clothed with salvation, and let your saints rejoice in goodness.
42 LEUM GOD, nikmet ngetla liki tokosra su kom sulela. Esam lungse lom nu sel David, mwet kulansap lom.”
“LORD God, don’t turn away the face of your anointed. Remember your loving kindnesses to David your servant.”
