2 Chronicles 6
1 Then Solomon said, “The LORD has said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
Ergasii Solomoon akkana jedhe; “Waaqayyo akka duumessa dukkanaaʼaa keessa jiraatu dubbateera;
2 But I have built you a house and home, a place for you to dwell in forever.”
ani mana qulqullummaa guddaa, iddoo ati bara baraan jiraattu siif ijaareera.”
3 The king turned his face, and blessed all the assembly of Israel; and all the assembly of Israel stood.
Utuma waldaan Israaʼel guutuun achi dhaabatuu mootichi of irra garagalee isaan eebbise.
4 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,
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;
5 ‘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;
‘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.
6 but now I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and I have chosen David to be over my people Israel.’
Amma garuu akka maqaan koo achi jiraatuuf Yerusaalemin filadheera; akka inni saba koo Israaʼelin bulchuufis Daawitin filadheera.’
7 Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel.
“Daawit abbaan koo Maqaa Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼeliif mana qulqullummaa ijaaruuf garaa isaatii yaada qaba ture.
8 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;
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.
9 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.’
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.’
10 “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.
“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.
11 There I have set the ark, in which is the LORD’s covenant, which he made with the children of Israel.”
Anis achi keessa taabota kaaʼeera; taabota sana keessa immoo kakuu Waaqayyoo kan inni saba Israaʼel wajjin galetu jira.”
12 He stood before the LORD’s altar in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands
Solomoon iddoo aarsaa Waaqayyoo duratti fuula guutummaa waldaa Israaʼel dura dhaabatee harka isaa ni balʼise.
13 (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 toward heaven).
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.
14 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;
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.
15 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.
Ati waadaa garbicha kee abbaa koo Daawitiif galte sana eegdeerta; ati afaanuma keetiin waadaa galtee akkuma harʼa taʼee jiru kana harka keetiin fiixaan baafteerta.
16 “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.’
“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.
17 Now therefore, LORD, the God of Israel, let your word be verified, which you spoke to your servant David.
Kanaafuu amma yaa Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼel, dubbiin ati garbicha kee Daawitiif waadaa galte sun haa mirkanaaʼu.
18 “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!
“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!
19 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;
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.
20 that your eyes may be open toward this house day and night, even toward the place where you have said that you would put your name, to listen to the prayer which your servant will pray toward this place.
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.
21 Listen to the petitions of your servant and of your people Israel, when they pray toward this place. Yes, hear from your dwelling place, even from heaven; and when you hear, forgive.
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.
22 “If a man sins against his neighbor, and an oath is laid on him to cause him to swear, and he comes and swears before your altar in this house,
“Yoo namni tokko ollaa ofii isaatti daba hojjetee akka kakatu gaafatamee, innis dhufee mana qulqullummaa kana keessatti, fuula iddoo aarsaa keetii duratti kakate,
23 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.
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.
24 “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,
“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,
25 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.
samii irraa dhagaʼiitii cubbuu saba kee Israaʼel dhiisiif; biyya isaanii fi abbootii isaaniitiif kennite sanattis deebisii isaan galchi.
26 “When the sky is shut up and there is no rain because they have sinned against you, if they pray toward this place and confess your name, and turn from their sin when you afflict them,
“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,
27 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.
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.
28 “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—
“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,
29 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 toward this house,
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,
30 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),
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;
31 that they may fear you, to walk in your ways as long as they live in the land which you gave to our fathers.
yoo akkasii isaan bara biyya ati abbootii keenyaaf kennite keessa jiraatan hunda si sodaatanii karaa kee irra ni deemu.
32 “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 toward this house,
“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,
33 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.
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.
34 “If your people go out to battle against their enemies, by whatever way you send them, and they pray to you toward this city which you have chosen, and the house which I have built for your name;
“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,
35 then hear from heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.
ati samii irraa kadhannaa isaatii fi waammata isaa dhagaʼiitii dhimma isaa isaaf raawwadhu.
36 “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;
“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;
37 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;’
yoo isaan biyya boojuudhaan itti geeffamanitti gaabbanii qalbii geeddaratanii, ‘Nu cubbuu hojjenneerra; balleessineerra; waan hamaas hojjenneerra’ jedhanii biyya boojuu isaanii keessatti si kadhatan,
38 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 toward their land which you gave to their fathers, and the city which you have chosen, and toward the house which I have built for your name;
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,
39 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.
ati samii irraa, iddoo jireenya keetiitii kadhannaa fi waammata isaanii dhagaʼiitii dhimma isaanii isaaniif raawwadhu. Saba kee kan cubbuu sitti hojjeteefis dhiifama godhi.
40 “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.
“Ammas yaa Waaqa koo kadhannaa iddoo kanatti dhiʼaatu iji kee haa argu; gurri kees haa dhagaʼu.
41 “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 [yeshu`ah], and let your holy ones rejoice in goodness.
“Kanaafuu yaa Waaqayyo, yaa Waaqi,
42 “LORD God, don’t turn away the face of your anointed. Remember your loving kindnesses to David your servant.”
Yaa Waaqayyo, Gooftaa, ati dibamaa kee hin gatin;
