2 Seenaa 6
1 Ergasii Solomoon akkana jedhe; “Waaqayyo akka duumessa dukkanaaʼaa keessa jiraatu dubbateera;
Then said Solomon, The Lord said that he would dwell in thick darkness.
2 ani mana qulqullummaa guddaa, iddoo ati bara baraan jiraattu siif ijaareera.”
But I have built a house to your name, holy to you, and prepared [for you] to dwell in for ever.
3 Utuma waldaan Israaʼel guutuun achi dhaabatuu mootichi of irra garagalee isaan eebbise.
And the king turned his face, and blessed all the congregation of Israel: and all the congregation of Israel stood by.
4 Innis akkana jedhe: “Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel inni waan afaan ofii isaatiin abbaa koo Daawitiif waadaa gale sana harkuma ofii isaatiin guute sun haa eebbifamu. Innis akkana jedhee tureetii;
And he said, Blessed [be] the Lord God of Israel: he has even fulfilled with his hands as he spoke with his mouth to my father David, saying,
5 ‘Ani gaafan saba koo Gibxii baasee jalqabee akka Maqaan koo achi jiraatuuf jedhee mana qulqullummaa itti ijaarsifachuuf gosoota Israaʼel kam iyyuu keessatti magaalaa tokko illee hin filanne, yookaan akka inni bulchaa saba koo Israaʼel taʼuuf nama tokko illee hin filanne.
From the day when I brought up my people out of the land of Egypt, I chose no city of all the tribes of Israel, to build a house that my name should be there; neither did I choose a man to be a leader over my people Israel.
6 Amma garuu akka maqaan koo achi jiraatuuf Yerusaalemin filadheera; akka inni saba koo Israaʼelin bulchuufis Daawitin filadheera.’
But I chose Jerusalem that my name should be there; and I chose David to be over my people Israel.
7 “Daawit abbaan koo Maqaa Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼeliif mana qulqullummaa ijaaruuf garaa isaatii yaada qaba ture.
And it came into the heart of David my father, to build a house for the name of the Lord God of Israel.
8 Waaqayyo garuu abbaa koo Daawitiin akkana jedhe; ‘Waan mana qulqullummaa maqaa kootiif ijaaruun yaada kee keessa jiruuf, ati yaada kana garaadhaa qabaachuun kee gaarii dha.
But the Lord said to my father David, Whereas it came into your heart to build a house for my name, you did well that it came into your heart.
9 Taʼus namni mana qulqullummaa naaf ijaaru siʼi miti; garuu ilma kee, isuma foon keetii fi dhiiga kee taʼetu ijaara; namni mana qulqullummaa Maqaa kootiif ijaaru isa.’
Nevertheless you shall not build the house; for your son who shall come forth out of your loins, he shall build the house for my name.
10 “Waaqayyo waadaa gale sana eegeera; akkuma Waaqayyo waadaa gale sana ani amma iddoo abbaa koo Daawit buʼee teessoo Israaʼel irra taaʼeen jira; Maqaa Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼeliifis mana qulqullummaa ijaareera.
And the Lord has confirmed this word, which he spoke; and I am raised up in the room of my father David, and I sit upon the throne of Israel as the Lord said, and I have built the house for the name of the Lord God of Israel:
11 Anis achi keessa taabota kaaʼeera; taabota sana keessa immoo kakuu Waaqayyoo kan inni saba Israaʼel wajjin galetu jira.”
and I have set there the ark in which [is] the covenant of the Lord, which he made with Israel.
12 Solomoon iddoo aarsaa Waaqayyoo duratti fuula guutummaa waldaa Israaʼel dura dhaabatee harka isaa ni balʼise.
And he stood before the altar of the Lord in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread out his hands.
13 Waltajjii dhundhuma shan lafa irra dheeratu, kan dhundhuma shan balʼatee dhundhuma sadii ol dheeratu tokkos naasii irraa hojjetee walakkaa oobdii ni dhaabe; innis waltajjii sana irra dhaabatee fuula guutummaa waldaa Israaʼel duratti jilbeenfatee harka isaa gara samiitti ol ni balʼise.
For Solomon [had] made a brazen scaffold, and set it in the midst of the court of the sanctuary; the length of it [was] five cubits, and the breadth of it five cubits, and the height of it three cubits: and he stood upon it, and fell upon his knees before the whole congregation of Israel, and spread abroad his hands to heaven,
14 Akkanas jedhe: “Yaa Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼel, Waaqni akka keetii ol samii keessa yookaan gad lafa irra hin jiru; ati garboota kee warra garaa guutuudhaan karaa kee irra deemaniif kakuu fi jaalala kee kan hin geeddaramne sana ni eegda.
and said, Lord God of Israel, there is no God like you in heaven, or on the earth; keeping covenant and mercy with your servants that walk before you with [their] whole heart.
15 Ati waadaa garbicha kee abbaa koo Daawitiif galte sana eegdeerta; ati afaanuma keetiin waadaa galtee akkuma harʼa taʼee jiru kana harka keetiin fiixaan baafteerta.
Even as you have kept [them] with your servant David my father, as you have spoken to him in words: —you have both spoken with your mouth, and have fulfilled [it] with your hands, as it is this day.
16 “Ammas yaa Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼel, ati waan garbicha kee abbaa koo Daawitiin, ‘Yoo ilmaan kee akkuma ati goote sana waan hojjetan hunda keessatti of eeggachaa, akkuma seera kootti fuula koo dura deddeebiʼan, ati nama fuula koo dura teessoo Israaʼel irra taaʼu gonkumaa hin dhabdu’ jettee abdachiifte sana eegiif.
and now, Lord God of Israel, keep with your servant David my father the things which you spoke to him, saying, There shall not fail you a man before me sitting on the throne of Israel, if only your sons will take heed to their way to walk in my law, as you did walk before me.
17 Kanaafuu amma yaa Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼel, dubbiin ati garbicha kee Daawitiif waadaa galte sun haa mirkanaaʼu.
And now, Lord God of Israel, let, I pray you, your word be confirmed, which you have spoken to your servant David.
18 “Garuu dhugumaan Waaqni nama wajjin lafa irra ni jiraataa? Samiiwwan, samiiwwan samii olii iyyuu si baachuu hin dandaʼan. Yoos manni qulqullummaa kan ani ijaare kun hammam haa xinnaatuu ree!
For will God indeed dwell with men upon the earth? if the heaven and the heaven of heavens will not suffice you, what then is this house which I have built?
19 Taʼus yaa Waaqayyo Waaqa ko, kadhannaa fi waammata garbichi kee araara barbaaduuf dhiʼeessuuf gurra kenni. Iyyaa fi kadhannaa garbichi kee fuula kee duratti dhiʼeessu illee dhagaʼi.
Yet you shall have respect to the prayer of your servant, and to my petition, O Lord God, so as to listen to the petition and the prayer which your servant prays before you this day:
20 Iji kees halkanii fi guyyaa gara mana qulqullummaa kanaa gara iddoo ati akka Maqaa kee achi kaaʼattu dubbatte sanaa haa ilaalu. Kadhannaa garbichi kee gara iddoo kanaatti fuula deebifatee kadhatu illee dhagaʼi.
so that your eyes should be open over this house by day and by night, towards this place, whereon you said your name should be called, so as to hear the prayer which your servant prays towards this house.
21 Yommuu isaan gara iddoo kanaatti fuula deebifatanii kadhatanitti waammata garbicha keetii fi kan saba kee Israaʼel dhagaʼi. Samii keessaa, iddoo jireenya keetiitii dhagaʼi; yommuu dhageessuttis dhiifama godhi.
And you shall hear the supplication of your servant, and of your people Israel, whatever prayers they shall make towards this place: and you shall listen in your dwelling-place out of heaven, yes you shall hear, and be merciful.
22 “Yoo namni tokko ollaa ofii isaatti daba hojjetee akka kakatu gaafatamee, innis dhufee mana qulqullummaa kana keessatti, fuula iddoo aarsaa keetii duratti kakate,
If a man sin against his neighbour, and he bring an oath upon him so as to make him swear, and he come and swear before the altar in this house;
23 ati samii irraa dhagaʼiitii garboota kee gidduutti tarkaanfii fudhadhu. Nama yakka qabu, yakka isaa matuma isaatti deebistee gatii isaa kennuufiidhaan, nama qajeelaa immoo akkuma qajeelummaa isaatti isaaf falmuudhaan garboota kee gidduutti murtii kenni.
then shall you listen out of heaven, and do, and judge your servants, to recompense the transgressor, and to return his ways upon his head: and to justify the righteous, to recompense him according to his righteousness.
24 “Yoo sabni kee Israaʼel sababii cubbuu sitti hojjeteef diinaan moʼatamutti, yoo inni deebiʼee maqaa keetiif ulfina kennee mana qulqullummaa kana keessatti si duratti kadhatee si waammatutti,
And if your people Israel should be put to the worse before the enemy, if they should sin against you, and [then] turn and confess to your name, and pray and make supplication before you in this house;
25 samii irraa dhagaʼiitii cubbuu saba kee Israaʼel dhiisiif; biyya isaanii fi abbootii isaaniitiif kennite sanattis deebisii isaan galchi.
then shall you listen out of heaven and shall be merciful to the sins of your people Israel, and you shall restore them to the land which you gave to them and to their fathers.
26 “Yoo sababii sabni kee cubbuu sitti hojjeteef samiiwwan cufamanii bokkaan dhabame, yoo isaan sababii ati isaan adabdeef iddoo kanatti fuula deebifatanii maqaa kee ulfeessanii cubbuu isaanii irraa deebiʼan,
When heaven is restrained, and there is no rain, because they shall have sinned against you, and [when] they shall pray towards this place, and praise your name, and shall turn from their sins, because you shall afflict them;
27 ati samii irraa dhagaʼiitii cubbuu garboota kee, saba kee Israaʼel dhiisiif. Karaa qajeelaa isaan jiraachuu qaban isaan barsiisi; biyya dhaala gootee saba keetiif kennite irrattis bokkaa roobsi.
then shall you listen from heaven, and you shall be merciful to the sins of your servants, and of your people Israel; for you shall show them the good way in which they shall walk; and you shall send rain upon your land, which you gave to your people for an inheritance.
28 “Yommuu beelli yookaan dhaʼichi yookaan waagiin yookaan awwaaroon yookaan hawwaannisni yookaan korophisni biyyatti dhufutti, yookaan yommuu magaalaawwan biyya isaanii kam iyyuu keessatti diinonni isaan marsanitti, yookaan yommuu balaan yookaan dhukkubni kam iyyuu dhufutti,
If there should be famine upon the land, if there should be death, a pestilent wind an blight; if there should be locust and caterpiller, and if the enemy should harass them before their cities: in whatever plague and whatever distress [they may be];
29 yoo sabni kee Israaʼel rakkinaa fi dhukkubbii ofii isaa beekee isaan keessaa eenyu iyyuu gara mana qulqullummaa kanaatti harka isaa balʼisee kadhannaa yookaan waammata dhiʼeesse,
Then whatever prayer and whatever supplication shall be made by any man and all your people Israel, if a man should know his own plague and his own sickness, and should spread forth his hands towards this house;
30 ati samii irraa, iddoo jireenya keetiitii dhagaʼi. Dhiifama godhiif; si qofatu garaa namaa beekaatii, ati sababii garaa isaa beektuuf tokkoo tokkoo namaatiif akkuma hojii isaa hundaatti waan isaaf malu kenni;
then shall you hear from heaven, out of your prepared dwelling-place, and shall be merciful, and shall recompense to the man according to his ways, as you shall know his heart [to be]; for you alone know the heart of the children of men:
31 yoo akkasii isaan bara biyya ati abbootii keenyaaf kennite keessa jiraatan hunda si sodaatanii karaa kee irra ni deemu.
that they may reverence all your ways all the days which they live upon the face of the land, which you gave to our fathers.
32 “Akkasumas nama ormaa kan saba kee Israaʼel hin taʼin kan maqaa kee guddichaaf, harka kee jabaa fi irree kee kan diriirfame sanaatiif jedhee biyya fagootii dhufe, yoo inni dhufee fuula isaa gara mana qulqullummaa kanaatti deebifatee kadhate,
And every stranger who is not himself of your people Israel, and who shall have come from a distant land because of your great name, and your mighty hand, and your high arm; when they shall come and worship towards this place; —
33 ati samii irraa, iddoo jireenya keetiitii dhagaʼi. Akka saboonni addunyaa hundinuu akkuma saba kee Israaʼel sana maqaa kee beekanii si sodaatanii fi akka isaan akka manni ani ijaare kun maqaa keetiin waamamu illee beekaniif jedhii waan namni ormaa sun si kadhatu hunda godhiif.
then shall you listen out of heaven, out of your prepared dwelling-place, and shall do according to all that the stranger shall call upon you for; that all the nations of the earth may know your name, and that they may fear you, as your people Israel [do], and that they may know that your name is called upon this house which I have built.
34 “Yommuu sabni kee diinota isaa loluuf jedhee gara ati itti isa ergitu kam iyyuu duulutti, yoo inni gara magaalaa ati filattee fi gara mana qulqullummaa kan ani Maqaa keetiif ijaare kanaatti fuula deebifatee si kadhate,
And if your people shall go forth to war against their enemies by the way by which you shall send them, and shall pray to you towards this city which you have chosen, and [towards] the house which I have built to your name;
35 ati samii irraa kadhannaa isaatii fi waammata isaa dhagaʼiitii dhimma isaa isaaf raawwadhu.
then shall you hear out of heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.
36 “Waan namni cubbuu hin hojjenne tokko iyyuu hin jirreef yommuu isaan cubbuu sitti hojjetanitti ati isaanitti aartee diina isaan boojiʼee biyya fagootti yookaan dhiʼootti isaan geessutti dabarsitee isaan kennita;
Whereas if they shall sin against you, (for there is no man who will not sin, ) and you shall strike them, and deliver them up before their enemies, and they that take them captive shall carry them away into a land of enemies, to a land far off or near;
37 yoo isaan biyya boojuudhaan itti geeffamanitti gaabbanii qalbii geeddaratanii, ‘Nu cubbuu hojjenneerra; balleessineerra; waan hamaas hojjenneerra’ jedhanii biyya boojuu isaanii keessatti si kadhatan,
and [if] they shall repent in their land whither they were carried captive, and shall also turn and make supplication to you in their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have transgressed, we have wrought unrighteously;
38 yoo isaan biyya boojuudhaan itti geeffaman sana keessatti garaa fi lubbuu isaanii guutuudhaan gara keetti deebiʼanii, gara biyya ati abbootii isaaniitiif kenniteetti, gara magaalaa ati filattee fi gara mana qulqullummaa kan ani Maqaa keetiif ijaare sanaatti fuula deebifatanii si kadhatan,
and [if] they shall turn to you with all their heart and all their soul in the land of them that carried them captives, whither they carried them captives, and shall pray towards their land which you gave to their fathers, and the city which you did choose, and the house which I built to your name: —
39 ati samii irraa, iddoo jireenya keetiitii kadhannaa fi waammata isaanii dhagaʼiitii dhimma isaanii isaaniif raawwadhu. Saba kee kan cubbuu sitti hojjeteefis dhiifama godhi.
then shall you hear out of heaven, out of your prepared dwelling-place, their prayer and their supplication, and you shall execute justice, and shall be merciful to your people that sin against you.
40 “Ammas yaa Waaqa koo kadhannaa iddoo kanatti dhiʼaatu iji kee haa argu; gurri kees haa dhagaʼu.
And now, Lord, let, I pray you, your eyes be opened, and your ears be attentive to the petition [made in] this place.
41 “Kanaafuu yaa Waaqayyo, yaa Waaqi,
And now, O Lord God, arise into your resting-place, you, and the ark of your strength: let your priests, O Lord God, clothe themselves with salvation, and your sons rejoice in prosperity.
42 Yaa Waaqayyo, Gooftaa, ati dibamaa kee hin gatin;
O Lord God, turn not away the face of your anointed: remember the mercies of your servant David.
