2 Nyakati 7

1 Baada ya Solomoni kumaliza kuomba, moto ukashuka kutoka mbinguni na kuteketeza sadaka ya kuteketezwa na dhabihu, nao utukufu wa Bwana ukalijaza Hekalu.

καὶ ὡς συνετέλεσεν Σαλωμων προσευχόμενος καὶ τὸ πῦρ κατέβη ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ κατέφαγεν τὰ ὁλοκαυτώματα καὶ τὰς θυσίας καὶ δόξα κυρίου ἔπλησεν τὸν οἶκον

2 Makuhani hawakuweza kuingia ndani ya Hekalu la Bwana kwa sababu utukufu wa Bwana ulilijaza.

καὶ οὐκ ἠδύναντο οἱ ἱερεῖς εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τὸν οἶκον κυρίου ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ ὅτι ἔπλησεν δόξα κυρίου τὸν οἶκον

3 Waisraeli wote walipoona moto ukishuka na utukufu wa Bwana ukiwa juu ya Hekalu, wakapiga magoti sakafuni wakasujudu nyuso zao mpaka chini, nao wakamwabudu na kumshukuru Bwana wakisema, “Yeye ni mwema; upendo wake unadumu milele.”

καὶ πάντες οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ ἑώρων καταβαῖνον τὸ πῦρ καὶ ἡ δόξα κυρίου ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον καὶ ἔπεσον ἐπὶ πρόσωπον ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν ἐπὶ τὸ λιθόστρωτον καὶ προσεκύνησαν καὶ ᾔνουν τῷ κυρίῳ ὅτι ἀγαθόν ὅτι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ

4 Ndipo mfalme na watu wote wakatoa dhabihu mbele za Bwana Mungu.

καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς θύοντες θύματα ἔναντι κυρίου

5 Naye Mfalme Solomoni akatoa dhabihu ya ngʼombe 22,000 pamoja na kondoo na mbuzi 120,000. Hivyo ndivyo mfalme na watu wote walivyoweka wakfu Hekalu la Mungu.

καὶ ἐθυσίασεν Σαλωμων τὴν θυσίαν μόσχων εἴκοσι καὶ δύο χιλιάδας καὶ βοσκημάτων ἑκατὸν καὶ εἴκοσι χιλιάδας καὶ ἐνεκαίνισεν τὸν οἶκον τοῦ θεοῦ ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαός

6 Makuhani wakasimama kwenye nafasi zao, vivyo hivyo Walawi wakiwa na vyombo vya uimbaji vya Bwana ambavyo Mfalme Daudi alikuwa ametengeneza kwa ajili ya kumsifu Bwana, navyo vilitumika wakati aliposhukuru, akisema, “Upendo wake wadumu milele.” Mkabala na Walawi, makuhani walipiga tarumbeta zao, nao Waisraeli wote walikuwa wamesimama.

καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς ἐπὶ τὰς φυλακὰς αὐτῶν ἑστηκότες καὶ οἱ Λευῖται ἐν ὀργάνοις ᾠδῶν κυρίου τοῦ Δαυιδ τοῦ βασιλέως τοῦ ἐξομολογεῖσθαι ἔναντι κυρίου ὅτι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ ἐν ὕμνοις Δαυιδ διὰ χειρὸς αὐτῶν καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς σαλπίζοντες ταῖς σάλπιγξιν ἐναντίον αὐτῶν καὶ πᾶς Ισραηλ ἑστηκώς

7 Solomoni akaweka wakfu sehemu ya katikati ya ua uliokuwa mbele ya Hekalu la Bwana na hapo akatoa sadaka za kuteketezwa na mafuta ya sadaka za amani, kwa sababu madhabahu ya shaba aliyokuwa ametengeneza haikutosha kuweka sadaka hizo zote za kuteketezwa, sadaka za nafaka na za mafuta.

καὶ ἡγίασεν Σαλωμων τὸ μέσον τῆς αὐλῆς τῆς ἐν οἴκῳ κυρίου ὅτι ἐποίησεν ἐκεῖ τὰ ὁλοκαυτώματα καὶ τὰ στέατα τῶν σωτηρίων ὅτι τὸ θυσιαστήριον τὸ χαλκοῦν ὃ ἐποίησεν Σαλωμων οὐκ ἐξεποίει δέξασθαι τὰ ὁλοκαυτώματα καὶ τὰ μαναα καὶ τὰ στέατα

8 Hivyo Solomoni akaiadhimisha sikukuu wakati ule kwa muda wa siku saba, na Israeli wote pamoja naye. Walikuwa kusanyiko kubwa sana, watu kutoka Lebo-Hamathi hadi Kijito cha Misri.

καὶ ἐποίησεν Σαλωμων τὴν ἑορτὴν ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ ἑπτὰ ἡμέραις καὶ πᾶς Ισραηλ μετ’ αὐτοῦ ἐκκλησία μεγάλη σφόδρα ἀπὸ εἰσόδου Αιμαθ καὶ ἕως χειμάρρου Αἰγύπτου

9 Katika siku ya nane walifanya kusanyiko, kwa kuwa walikuwa wanaadhimisha kuwekwa wakfu kwa madhabahu kwa muda wa siku saba na sikukuu kwa muda wa siku nyingine saba zaidi.

καὶ ἐποίησεν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ὀγδόῃ ἐξόδιον ὅτι ἐγκαινισμὸν τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου ἐποίησεν ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας ἑορτήν

10 Katika siku ya ishirini na tatu ya mwezi wa saba Solomoni akawaaga watu waende nyumbani mwao, wakishangilia na kufurahi mioyoni mwao, kwa wema mwingi Bwana Mungu aliomtendea Daudi na Solomoni na kwa ajili ya watu wake Israeli.

καὶ ἐν τῇ τρίτῃ καὶ εἰκοστῇ τοῦ μηνὸς τοῦ ἑβδόμου ἀπέστειλεν τὸν λαὸν εἰς τὰ σκηνώματα αὐτῶν εὐφραινομένους καὶ ἀγαθῇ καρδίᾳ ἐπὶ τοῖς ἀγαθοῖς οἷς ἐποίησεν κύριος τῷ Δαυιδ καὶ τῷ Σαλωμων καὶ τῷ Ισραηλ λαῷ αὐτοῦ

11 Solomoni alipomaliza kujenga Hekalu la Bwana na jumba la kifalme, naye akiwa amefanikiwa kutenda yale yote aliyokuwa nayo moyoni mwake kufanya katika Hekalu la Bwana na katika jumba lake mwenyewe la kifalme,

καὶ συνετέλεσεν Σαλωμων τὸν οἶκον κυρίου καὶ τὸν οἶκον τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ πάντα ὅσα ἠθέλησεν ἐν τῇ ψυχῇ Σαλωμων τοῦ ποιῆσαι ἐν οἴκῳ κυρίου καὶ ἐν οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ εὐοδώθη

12 Bwana akamtokea Solomoni usiku na kumwambia: “Nimesikia maombi yako nami nimechagua mahali hapa kwa ajili yangu mwenyewe kuwa Hekalu kwa ajili ya dhabihu.

καὶ ὤφθη ὁ θεὸς τῷ Σαλωμων τὴν νύκτα καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ἤκουσα τῆς προσευχῆς σου καὶ ἐξελεξάμην ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τούτῳ ἐμαυτῷ εἰς οἶκον θυσίας

13 “Wakati nitakapofunga mbingu ili isiwepo mvua, au nikiamuru nzige kula mazao ya nchi au nikituma tauni miongoni mwa watu wangu,

ἐὰν συσχῶ τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ μὴ γένηται ὑετός καὶ ἐὰν ἐντείλωμαι τῇ ἀκρίδι καταφαγεῖν τὸ ξύλον καὶ ἐὰν ἀποστείλω θάνατον ἐν τῷ λαῷ μου

14 kama watu wangu, wanaoitwa kwa Jina langu, watajinyenyekesha na kuomba na kuutafuta uso wangu na kuacha njia zao mbaya, basi nitasikia toka mbinguni na kuwasamehe dhambi yao na nitaiponya nchi yao.

καὶ ἐὰν ἐντραπῇ ὁ λαός μου ἐφ’ οὓς τὸ ὄνομά μου ἐπικέκληται ἐπ’ αὐτούς καὶ προσεύξωνται καὶ ζητήσωσιν τὸ πρόσωπόν μου καὶ ἀποστρέψωσιν ἀπὸ τῶν ὁδῶν αὐτῶν τῶν πονηρῶν καὶ ἐγὼ εἰσακούσομαι ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ ἵλεως ἔσομαι ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις αὐτῶν καὶ ἰάσομαι τὴν γῆν αὐτῶν

15 Sasa macho yangu yatafumbuka na masikio yangu yatasikiliza kwa makini maombi yaombwayo mahali hapa.

νῦν οἱ ὀφθαλμοί μου ἔσονται ἀνεῳγμένοι καὶ τὰ ὦτά μου ἐπήκοα τῇ προσευχῇ τοῦ τόπου τούτου

16 Kwa maana sasa nimechagua na kutakasa Hekalu hili ili kwamba Jina langu lipate kuwa huko milele. Macho yangu na moyo wangu utakuwepo huko daima.

καὶ νῦν ἐξελεξάμην καὶ ἡγίακα τὸν οἶκον τοῦτον τοῦ εἶναι ὄνομά μου ἐκεῖ ἕως αἰῶνος καὶ ἔσονται οἱ ὀφθαλμοί μου καὶ ἡ καρδία μου ἐκεῖ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας

17 “Kwa habari yako wewe, kama ukienenda mbele zangu kama Daudi baba yako alivyoenenda na kufanya yote nikuamuruyo, nawe ukizishika amri zangu na sheria zangu,

καὶ σὺ ἐὰν πορευθῇς ἐναντίον μου ὡς Δαυιδ ὁ πατήρ σου καὶ ποιήσῃς κατὰ πάντα ἃ ἐνετειλάμην σοι καὶ τὰ προστάγματά μου καὶ τὰ κρίματά μου φυλάξῃ

18 Nitakiimarisha kiti chako cha enzi kama nilivyoagana na Daudi baba yako niliposema, ‘Hutakosa kamwe mtu wa kutawala juu ya Israeli.’

καὶ ἀναστήσω τὸν θρόνον τῆς βασιλείας σου ὡς διεθέμην Δαυιδ τῷ πατρί σου λέγων οὐκ ἐξαρθήσεταί σοι ἀνὴρ ἡγούμενος ἐν Ισραηλ

19 “Lakini kama ukigeuka na kuyaacha maagizo na amri nilizowapa na kwenda kuitumikia miungu mingine na kuiabudu,

καὶ ἐὰν ἀποστρέψητε ὑμεῖς καὶ ἐγκαταλίπητε τὰ προστάγματά μου καὶ τὰς ἐντολάς μου ἃς ἔδωκα ἐναντίον ὑμῶν καὶ πορευθῆτε καὶ λατρεύσητε θεοῖς ἑτέροις καὶ προσκυνήσητε αὐτοῖς

20 ndipo nitakapoingʼoa Israeli kutoka nchi yangu niliyowapa, nami nitalikataa Hekalu hili nililolitakasa kwa ajili ya Jina langu. Nitalifanya kitu cha kudharauliwa na kitu cha kudhihakiwa miongoni mwa watu wote.

καὶ ἐξαρῶ ὑμᾶς ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς ἧς ἔδωκα αὐτοῖς καὶ τὸν οἶκον τοῦτον ὃν ἡγίασα τῷ ὀνόματί μου ἀποστρέψω ἐκ προσώπου μου καὶ δώσω αὐτὸν εἰς παραβολὴν καὶ εἰς διήγημα ἐν πᾶσιν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν

21 Ingawa Hekalu hili linavutia sana sasa, wote watakaolipita watashangaa na kusema, ‘Kwa nini Bwana amefanya kitu kama hiki katika nchi hii na kwa Hekalu hili?’

καὶ ὁ οἶκος οὗτος ὁ ὑψηλός πᾶς ὁ διαπορευόμενος αὐτὸν ἐκστήσεται καὶ ἐρεῖ χάριν τίνος ἐποίησεν κύριος τῇ γῇ ταύτῃ καὶ τῷ οἴκῳ τούτῳ

22 Watu watajibu, ‘Ni kwa sababu wamemwacha Bwana, Mungu wa baba zao, aliyewatoa Misri, nao wamekumbatia miungu mingine, wakaiabudu na kuitumikia, ndiyo sababu ameyaleta maafa haya yote juu yao.’”

καὶ ἐροῦσιν διότι ἐγκατέλιπον κύριον τὸν θεὸν τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν τὸν ἐξαγαγόντα αὐτοὺς ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου καὶ ἀντελάβοντο θεῶν ἑτέρων καὶ προσεκύνησαν αὐτοῖς καὶ ἐδούλευσαν αὐτοῖς διὰ τοῦτο ἐπήγαγεν ἐπ’ αὐτοὺς πᾶσαν τὴν κακίαν ταύτην
