< 1 Kings 8 >

1 Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children of Israel, to king Solomon in Jerusalem, that they might bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which [is] Zion.
Mgbe ahụ, eze Solomọn kpọkọtara ndị okenye Izrel, na ndịisi ebo niile, na ndịisi ezinaụlọ Izrel niile, ka ha bịakwute eze na Jerusalem, maka i site na Zayọn bụ obodo Devid bugota igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị.
2 And all the men of Israel assembled themselves to king Solomon at the feast in the month Ethanim, which [is] the seventh month.
Ndị Izrel niile gbakọtara bịakwute eze Solomọn nʼoge a na-eme mmemme nʼọnwa Etanim nke bụ ọnwa asaa nʼafọ.
3 And all the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark.
Mgbe ndị okenye Izrel niile bịarutere, ndị nchụaja buliri igbe ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ.
4 And they brought the ark of the LORD, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that [were] in the tabernacle, even those did the priests and the Levites bring.
Ha bugotara igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị, ya na ụlọ nzute, na ngwongwo niile dị nsọ dị nʼime ya. Ndị nchụaja na ndị Livayị buliri ha elu.
5 And king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel, that were assembled to him, [were] with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could not be told nor numbered for multitude.
Eze Solomọn na ọgbakọ Izrel niile, bụ ndị zukọtara nʼebe ọ nọ, nọ nʼihu igbe ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ, na-achụ aja ọtụtụ atụrụ na ọtụtụ ehi nke a na-apụghị ịgụta ọnụ maọbụ gbakọta ọnụọgụgụ ha nʼihi ịba ụba.
6 And the priests brought the ark of the covenant of the LORD to its place, into the oracle of the house, to the most holy [place], [even] under the wings of the cherubim.
Ndị nchụaja bubatara igbe ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị ahụ nʼime ime ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ, nʼime Ebe Kachasị Nsọ, dọba ya nʼokpuru nku cherubim ahụ.
7 For the cherubim spread forth [their] two wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and the staffs thereof above.
Cherubim ndị ahụ gbasara nku ha nʼelu igbe ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ, zochie igbe ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ na okporo osisi ndị e ji ebu ya.
8 And they drew out the staffs, that the ends of the staffs were seen out in the holy [place] before the oracle, and they were not seen without: and there they are to this day.
Okporo osisi ndị a dị oke ogologo, na e nwere ike ị site nʼEbe Nsọ, dị nʼihu ime ime ebe nsọ ahụ hụ isi ha anya, ma onye na-anọghị nʼEbe Nsọ ahụ adịghị ahụ ha. Ha ka dịkwa nʼebe ahụ ruo taa.
9 [There was] nothing in the ark save the two tables of stone, which Moses deposited there at Horeb, when the LORD made [a covenant] with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.
O nweghị ihe dị nʼime igbe ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ, karịakwa mbadamba nkume abụọ ahụ Mosis tinyere nʼime ya nʼugwu Horeb, nʼebe Onyenwe anyị na ụmụ Izrel gbara ndụ, mgbe ha si nʼala Ijipt pụta.
10 And it came to pass, when the priests had come out of the holy [place], that the cloud filled the house of the LORD,
Mgbe ndị nchụaja si nʼEbe Nsọ ahụ pụta, igwe ojii jupụtara ụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị ahụ.
11 So that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of the LORD.
Ndị nchụaja enwekwaghị ike jee ozi ha, nʼihi igwe ojii ahụ, nʼihi na ebube Onyenwe anyị jupụtara nʼime ụlọnsọ ya.
12 Then spoke Solomon, The LORD said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
Mgbe ahụ, Solomọn sịrị, “Onyenwe anyị ekwuola na ọ ga-ebi nʼoke igwe ojii.
13 I have surely built thee a house to dwell in, a settled place for thee to abide in for ever.
Ma nʼezie, ewuola m ụlọnsọ pụrụ iche, maa mma nye gị, ebe ị ga-ebi ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.”
14 And the king turned his face about, and blessed all the congregation of Israel: and all the congregation of Israel were standing.
Dịka ọgbakọ Izrel niile na-eguzo nʼebe ahụ, eze chigharịrị onwe ya chee ha ihu, gọzie ha.
15 And he said, Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David my father, and hath with his hand fulfilled [it], saying,
Mgbe ahụ, ọ sịrị, “Otuto dịrị Onyenwe anyị, bụ Chineke Izrel, onye ji aka ya mezuo nkwa nke o sitere nʼọnụ ya kwee nna m Devid. Nʼihi na o kwuru sị,
16 Since the day that I brought forth my people Israel from Egypt, I have chosen no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house, that my name might be therein; but I chose David to be over my people Israel.
‘Site nʼụbọchị ahụ m si nʼala Ijipt kpọpụta ndị m, ahọpụtaghị m obodo ọbụla nʼebo ọbụla nke Izrel, ka e wuru m ụlọnsọ ka Aha m dịrị nʼebe ahụ. Ma a họrọla m Devid ị bụ onye ga-achị ndị m Izrel.’
17 And it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.
“Nna m, Devid bu nʼobi iwu ụlọnsọ ukwu nye Aha Onyenwe anyị, bụ Chineke nke Izrel.
18 And the LORD said to David my father, Whereas it was in thy heart to build a house to my name, thou didst well that it was in thy heart.
Ma Onyenwe anyị sịrị nna m, Devid, ‘I mere nke ọma ibu nʼobi iwu ụlọnsọ ukwu nye Aha m.
19 Nevertheless, thou shalt not build the house; but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house to my name.
Ma otu ọ dị, ọ bụghị gị ga-ewu ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ, kama ọ bụ nwa gị nwoke, anụ ahụ gị na ọbara gị; ọ bụ ya ga-ewu ụlọnsọ ukwu nye Aha m.’
20 And the LORD hath performed his word that he spoke, and I have risen in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built a house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.
“Ugbu a, Onyenwe anyị emezuola nkwa ahụ o kwere. A nọchiela m nna m Devid, ugbu a, ana m anọdụ nʼocheeze nke Izrel dịka Onyenwe anyị kwere na nkwa. Ewuokwala m ụlọnsọ ukwu nye Aha Onyenwe anyị, bụ Chineke nke Izrel.
21 And I have set there a place for the ark, in which [is] the covenant of the LORD, which he made with our fathers, when he brought them from the land of Egypt.
Edoziekwala m ọnọdụ ebe igbe ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ ga-adị, nʼime ya ka ọgbụgba ndụ Onyenwe anyị dị, bụ nke ya na nna nna anyị ha gbara, mgbe o mere ka ha si nʼala Ijipt pụta.”
22 And Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands towards Heaven:
Mgbe ahụ, Solomọn guzoro nʼihu ebe ịchụ aja Onyenwe anyị, na nʼihu ọgbakọ ụmụ Izrel niile, gbasapụ aka ya abụọ chilie ha elu,
23 And he said, LORD God of Israel, [there is] no God like thee, in heaven above, or on earth beneath, who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants that walk before thee with all their heart.
kwuo sị, “Onyenwe anyị, Chineke nke Izrel, ọ dịghị Chineke dịka gị nʼeluigwe nke dị nʼelu, maọbụ nʼụwa, nʼokpuru eluigwe. Gị onye na-edebe ọgbụgba ndụ ịhụnanya gị na ndị ohu gị, bụ ndị ji obi ha niile na-eso ụzọ gị.
24 Who hast kept with thy servant David my father that which thou didst promise him: thou didst speak also with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled [it] with thy hand, as [it is] this day.
I mezuokwala nkwa niile i kwere nna m Devid, bụ ohu gị. I ji ọnụ gị kwee nkwa a ma taa, i jirila aka gị mezuo ya.
25 Therefore now, LORD God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that which thou didst promise him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel; provided thy children take heed to their way, that they walk before me as thou hast walked before me.
“Ugbu a, O! Onyenwe anyị, Chineke nke Izrel, mezukwaa nkwa niile i kwere Devid nna m, mgbe ị sịrị, ‘Ọ bụrụ na ụmụ ụmụ gị elezie anya bie ndụ nʼụzọ kwesiri ntụkwasị obi nʼihu m, nʼihe niile ha na-eme, dịka gị onwe gị mere, agaghị achọ onye ga-anọ nʼihu m nʼocheeze Izrel nʼime ha.’
26 And now, O God of Israel, let thy word, I pray thee, be verified, which thou didst speak to thy servant David my father.
Ma ugbu a, Chineke nke Izrel, ka okwu gị, bụ nkwa nke i kwere ohu gị, bụ nna m Devid, bịa na mmezu.
27 But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have built?
“Ma ọ bụ ezie na gị Chineke ga-ebi nʼelu ụwa? Lee, eluigwe ọbụladị ebe kachasị elu nke eluigwe, ezughị ịba gị. Olee otu ụlọ a nke m wuru ga-esi bata gị?
28 Yet have thou respect to the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O LORD my God, to hearken to the cry and to the prayer, which thy servant prayeth before thee this day:
Ma Onyenwe anyị Chineke m, ṅaa ntị nʼekpere ohu gị, na arịrịọ ọ na-arịọ maka ebere. Nụrụ akwa na ekpere nke ohu gị na-ekpe nʼihu gị taa.
29 That thy eyes may be open towards this house night and day, [even] towards the place of which thou hast said, My name shall be there: that thou mayest hearken to the prayer which thy servant shall make towards this place.
Biko, mee ka anya gị abụọ ghere oghe nʼebe ụlọnsọ ukwu a dị, abalị na ehihie, bụ ebe a i kwuru banyere ya, sị, ‘Aha m ga-adị nʼebe ahụ,’ ka i si otu a nụrụ ekpere nke ohu gị ga-ekpe banyere ebe a.
30 And hearken thou to the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, when they shall pray towards this place: and hear thou in heaven thy dwelling-place: and when thou hearest, forgive.
Nụrụkwa arịrịọ ohu gị na nke ndị gị Izrel niile, mgbe ọbụla ha chere ihu ha nʼebe a nʼekpere. Biko, site nʼeluigwe bụ ebe obibi gị nụrụ, mgbe ị nụrụ biko, gbagharakwa.
31 If any man shall trespass against his neighbor, and an oath be laid upon him to cause him to swear, and the oath come before thy altar in this house:
“Mgbe onye ọbụla mehiere mmadụ ibe ya, a kpọọ ya oku ka ọ bịa ṅụọ iyi, onye dị otu a bịa, guzo nʼebe a, nʼihu ebe ịchụ aja gị a, ṅụọ iyi ahụ.
32 Then hear thou in heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, condemning the wicked, to bring his way upon his head; and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.

33 When thy people Israel shall be smitten before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee, and shall turn again to thee, and confess thy name, and pray, and make supplication to thee in this house:
“Mgbe ndị iro meriri ndị gị Izrel, nʼihi na ha mehiere megide gị, ọ bụrụ na ha alọghachikwute gị, too aha gị, na-ekpe ekpere, na-arịọ gị arịrịọ nʼụlọnsọ ukwu a,
34 Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again to the land which thou gavest to their fathers.

35 When heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee; if they pray towards this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, when thou afflictest them:
“Mgbe e gbochiri eluigwe, mee na mmiri adịghị ezokwa, nʼihi na ndị gị emehiela megide gị, ọ bụrụ na ha echee ihu nʼebe a kpee ekpere, too aha gị, si na mmehie ha chegharịa, nʼihi na ịtaala ha ahụhụ.
36 Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, that thou mayest teach them the good way in which they should walk, and give rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy people for an inheritance.

37 If there shall be in the land famine, if there shall be pestilence, blasting, mildew, locust, [or] if there shall be caterpillar; if their enemy shall besiege them in the land of their cities, whatever plague, whatever sickness [there shall be];
“Mgbe ụnwụ maọbụ ajọ ọrịa na-efe efe ga-adakwasị ala a, maọbụ ọrịa na-eripịa ihe ubi maọbụ ọmụma ebu, maọbụ igurube maọbụ ụkpana, maọbụ mgbe onye iro nọchibidoro ha nʼobodo ha niile, ihe mbibi niile maọbụ ọrịa ọbụla,

41 Moreover, concerning a stranger, that [is] not of thy people Israel, but cometh out of a far country for thy name's sake;
“Ma banyere onye mba ọzọ, onye na-esonyeghị na ndị gị Izrel, kama o si nʼala ebe dị anya bịa nʼihi Aha gị,

44 If thy people go out to battle against their enemy, whithersoever thou shalt send them, and shall pray to the LORD towards the city which thou hast chosen, and [towards] the house that I have built for thy name:
“Mgbe ndị gị ga-aga ibu agha megide ndị iro ha, nʼebe ọbụla ị na-eziga ha, mgbe ha chere ihu ha nʼụzọ obodo a nke ị họpụtara na nʼụlọnsọ ukwu a m wuru nye Aha gị, kpee ekpere nye Onyenwe anyị,

mgbe ahụ, site nʼeluigwe nụrụ ekpere na arịrịọ amara ha, mezukwa ihe ha na-arịọ (dịnyekwara ha).
46 If they shall sin against thee, (for [there is] no man that sinneth not, ) and thou shalt be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captives to the land of the enemy, far or near;
“Mgbe ha mehiere megide gị, nʼihi na ọ dịghị mmadụ ọbụla na-adịghị emehie, ị wee iwe megide ha, rara ha nyefee nʼaka ndị iro ha, ndị dọkpụrụ ha nʼagha gaa nʼobodo ọzọ, maọbụ obodo dị anya maọbụ nke dị nso;

48 And [so] return to thee with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their enemies, who led them away captive, and pray to thee towards their land, which thou gavest to their fathers, the city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name:

mgbe ahụ, site nʼeluigwe, ebe obibi gị, nụrụ ekpere ha na arịrịọ ha, nyekwara ha aka.
50 And forgive thy people that have sinned against thee, and all their transgressions in which they have transgressed against thee, and give them compassion before them who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them:
Gbaghara ndị gị, bụ ndị mehiere megide gị, gbaghara njehie niile ha mere megide gị, ma meekwa ka ndị dọtara ha nʼagha gosi ha obi ebere.
51 For they [are] thy people, and thy inheritance, which thou broughtest out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron:
Nʼihi na ha bụ ndị gị na oke gị, ndị i mere ka ha si nʼala Ijipt pụta, ala oke ịta ahụhụ nke nhụju anya.
52 That thy eyes may be open to the supplication of thy servant, and to the supplication of thy people Israel, to hearken to them in all their supplications to thee.
“Ka anya gị ghere oghe nʼarịrịọ mụ bụ ohu gị, nakwa nʼarịrịọ ndị gị Izrel, biko, na-egekwa ha ntị mgbe ọbụla ha bekuru gị akwa.
53 For thou didst separate them from among all the people of the earth, [to be] thy inheritance, as thou didst speak by the hand of Moses thy servant, when thou broughtest our fathers out of Egypt, O LORD God.
Nʼihi na gị onwe gị kewapụtara ha site na mba niile nke ụwa ka ha bụụrụ gị ihe nketa, dịka ị kwupụtara site nʼọnụ ohu gị bụ Mosis, mgbe gị bụ Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị mere ka nna nna anyị ha si nʼala Ijipt pụta.”
54 And it was [so], that when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication to the LORD, he arose from before the altar of the LORD, from kneeling on his knees, with his hands spread up to heaven.
Mgbe Solomọn kpechara ekpere ndị a ya na arịrịọ ọ rịọrọ Onyenwe anyị o si nʼihu ebe ịchụ aja Onyenwe anyị, bụ ebe o gburu ikpere nʼala, bilie, gbasapụ aka ya abụọ chilie ha elu.
55 And he stood, and blessed all the congregation of Israel with a loud voice, saying,
O guzoro gọzie ọgbakọ Izrel niile, gwa ha okwu nʼoke olu sị ha,
56 Blessed [be] the LORD, that hath given rest to his people Israel, according to all that he promised: there hath not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by the hand of Moses his servant.
“Onye a gọziri agọzi ka Onyenwe anyị bụ, onye nyere ndị ya, Izrel izuike dịka o kwere na nkwa. Ọ dịkwaghị okwu ọbụla nke na-emezughị nʼime ezi nkwa ahụ niile o kwere site nʼọnụ Mosis ohu ya.
57 The LORD our God be with us, as he was with our fathers: let him not leave us, nor forsake us:
Ka Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị dịnyere anyị, dịka o si dịnyere nna nna anyị ha. Ka ọ gharakwa ịhapụ anyị, maọbụ gbakụta anyị azụ.
58 That he may incline our hearts to him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and his statutes, and his judgments, which he commanded our fathers.
Ya nyekwa anyị mmụọ ime ihe niile ọ chọrọ, dịka uche nsọ ya si dị, na mmụọ ijezi ije nʼụzọ ya niile, na idebe ụkpụrụ na iwu niile nke o nyere nna nna anyị ha.
59 And let these my words with which I have made supplication before the LORD, be nigh to the LORD our God day and night, that he may maintain the cause of his servant, and the cause of his people Israel at all times, as the matter shall require:
Ka okwu m ndị a niile, nke m ji rịọ amara nʼihu Onyenwe anyị dịkwa Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị nso ehihie na abalị. Ka o nyekwara ohu ya na ndị Izrel niile aka, dịka mkpa ụbọchị ọbụla si dị.
60 That all the people of the earth may know, that the LORD [is] God, [and that there is] none else.
Ka ndị niile bi nʼụwa mara na Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke, marakwa na o nweghị chi ọzọ dị karịa ya.
61 Let your heart therefore be perfect with the LORD our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day.
Ya mere, werenụ obi unu nyechasịa Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke anyị, kpamkpam, na-ebinụ ndụ nʼụkpụrụ ya, rubenụ isi nʼiwu ya, dịka ọ dị taa.”
62 And the king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifice before the LORD.
Mgbe ahụ, eze ya na ndị Izrel niile chụrụ aja dị iche iche nʼihu Onyenwe anyị.
63 And Solomon offered a sacrifice of peace-offerings, which he offered to the LORD, two and twenty thousand oxen, and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the house of the LORD.
Solomọn chụrụ aja udo, bụ nke ọ chụrụ nye Onyenwe anyị. Ehi dị puku iri abụọ na abụọ, na ewu na atụrụ dị narị puku na iri puku abụọ. Ya mere, eze na ndị Izrel niile si otu a doo ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị nsọ.
64 The same day did the king consecrate the middle of the court that [was] before the house of the LORD: for there he offered burnt-offerings, and meat-offerings, and the fat of the peace-offerings: because the brazen altar that [was] before the LORD [was] too little to receive the burnt-offerings, and meat-offerings, and the fat of the peace-offerings.
Nʼotu ụbọchị ahụ kwa, eze doro etiti ogige dị nʼihu ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị ahụ nsọ. Nʼebe ahụ ka ọ nọ chụọ aja nsure ọkụ, aja onyinye mkpụrụ ọka na aja abụba udo.

65 And at that time Solomon held a feast, and all Israel with him, a great congregation, from the entrance into Hamath to the river of Egypt, before the LORD our God, seven days and seven days, [even] fourteen days.
Ya mere, Solomọn ya na ndị Izrel niile mere mmemme a nʼoge ahụ, ọ bụ nzukọ dị ukwuu. Ndị mmadụ bịara sitere na Lebo Hamat ruo na mmiri iyi Ijipt. Ha mere mmemme a nʼihu Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị, ụbọchị asaa tinyere ụbọchị asaa ọzọkwa, ya bụ agụkọta ha ụbọchị iri na anọ.
66 On the eighth day he sent the people away: and they blessed the king, and went to their tents joyful and glad of heart for all the goodness that the LORD had done for David his servant, and for Israel his people.
Nʼụbọchị nke na-eso ya, o zilagara ndị ahụ niile. Ha gọziri eze, laakwa nʼụlọ ha, nʼịṅụrị ọṅụ na obi ụtọ nʼihi ihe ọma niile nke Onyenwe anyị meere ohu ya Devid, na ndị ya Izrel.
