Fiawo 1 8
1 Azɔ la, Fia Solomo ƒo Israelviwo ƒe kplɔlawo, towo kple hlɔ̃wo ƒe tatɔwo katã nu ƒu ɖe Yerusalem be, woakpɔ ale si woatsɔ Yehowa ƒe nubablaɖaka la tso agbadɔ la me le Zion, David ƒe du la me, ayi gbedoxɔ la me la teƒe.
Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children of Israel, unto king Solomon in Jerusalem, that they might bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which is Zion.
2 Tete Israel ŋutsuwo katã kpe ta ɖe Fia Solomo gbɔ le Agbadɔmeŋkekenyui la ɖuɣi le ɣleti adrelia me.
And all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto king Solomon at the feast in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month.
3 Esi Israelviwo ƒe ametsitsiawo katã va ɖo la, nunɔlawo tsɔ nubablaɖaka la.
And all the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark.
4 Wotsɔ Yehowa ƒe nubablaɖaka la kple takpeƒe ƒe agbadɔ la kple nu kɔkɔe siwo katã le eme. Nunɔlawo kple Levitɔwoe tsɔ wo.
And they brought up 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 up.
5 Fia Solomo kple Israelviwo katã ƒo ƒu ɖe nubablaɖaka la ŋgɔ eye wotsɔ alẽ kple nyitsu geɖe siwo womate ŋu axlẽ o la sa vɔe.
And king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel, that were assembled unto him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could not be told nor numbered for multitude.
6 Le esia megbe la, nunɔlawo tsɔ Yehowa ƒe nubablaɖaka la va da ɖe enɔƒe le gbedoxɔ la ƒe kɔkɔe ƒe emetɔ si nye Kɔkɔeƒe ƒe Kɔkɔeƒe la me eye wokɔe da ɖe kerubiawo ƒe aʋalawo te.
And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD unto his place, into the oracle of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubims.
7 Wowɔ kerubiawo ale be woƒe aʋalawo tsyɔ teƒe si woada nubablaɖaka la ɖo la dzi. Ale woƒe aʋalawo tsyɔ nubablaɖaka la kple kpo siwo wowɔ ɖe wo ŋu la dzi.
For the cherubims spread forth their two wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubims covered the ark and the staves thereof above.
8 Kpoawo didi ale gbegbe be woƒe nugbɔwo didi gbɔ aɖaka la ŋu, woate ŋu akpɔ wo tso xɔ emetɔ, Kɔkɔeƒe ƒe Kɔkɔeƒe la me, gake womate ŋu akpɔ wo le Kɔkɔeƒe la godo o. Wogale afi ma va se ɖe egbe.
And they drew out the staves, that the ends of the staves were seen out in the holy place before the oracle, and they were not seen without: and there they are unto this day.
9 Naneke menɔ nubablaɖaka la me ɣe ma ɣi o, negbe kpe kpakpa eve siwo Mose tsɔ de wo me le Horeb to la dzi esime Yehowa bla nu kple Israelviwo le woƒe dzodzo le Egipte megbe la ko.
There was nothing in the ark save the two tables of stone, which Moses put there at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.
10 Kpɔ ɖa! Esi nunɔlaawo trɔ tso Kɔkɔeƒe ƒe Kɔkɔeƒe la gbɔna ko la, lilikpo keklẽ aɖe yɔ Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la me taŋtaŋ!
And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the LORD,
11 Nunɔlaawo magate ŋu awɔ woƒe dɔ o, le lilikpo la ta elabena Yehowa ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe yɔ gbedoxɔ la me.
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.
12 Fia Solomo gblɔ be “Yehowa gblɔ be yeanɔ lilikpo doviviti aɖe me.
Then spoke Solomon, The LORD said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
13 Metu gbedoxɔ nyui aɖe na wò, si me nànɔ tegbee.”
I have surely built you an house to dwell in, a settled place for you to abide in for ever.
14 Tete Fia la trɔ ɖe ameha la gbɔ, ameawo tsi tsitre ɖe eŋkume be yewoaxɔ eƒe yayra eye wòyra wo.
And the king turned his face about, and blessed all the congregation of Israel: (and all the congregation of Israel stood; )
15 Egblɔ bena, “Woakafu Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu, ame si tsɔ eƒe asi wɔ ŋugbe si wòdo kple eƒe nu na fofonye, David dzi egbe
And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, which spoke with his mouth unto David my father, and has with his hand fulfilled it, saying,
16 elabena Yehowa gblɔ na Fia David be, ‘Tso gbe si gbe mekplɔ nye dukɔ Israel tso Egipte la, nyemetia du aɖeke le Israel toawo katã me be woatu gbedoxɔ nam ɖe afi ma be nye ŋkɔ nanɔ eme o. Ke metia David be wòanɔ nye dukɔ Israel nu.’
Since the day that I brought forth my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build an house, that my name might be therein; but I chose David to be over my people Israel.
17 “Ame siae nye fofonye, Fia David. Edi be yeatu gbedoxɔ aɖe na Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu ƒe ŋkɔ.
And it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.
18 Ke Yehowa gblɔ na fofonye, David be, ‘Esi nèɖoe ɖe wò dzi me be yeatu gbedoxɔ na nye ŋkɔ la, èwɔe nyuie be nèɖoe ɖe wò dzi me.
And the LORD said unto David my father, Whereas it was in your heart to build an house unto my name, you did well that it was in your heart.
19 Ke, menye wòe nye ame si atu gbedoxɔ la o, ke viwò, ame si nye wò ŋutɔ wò ŋutilã kple ʋu; eyae nye ame si atu gbedoxɔ la na nye ŋkɔ.’
Nevertheless you shall not build the house; but your son that shall come forth out of your loins, he shall build the house unto my name.
20 “Azɔ la, Yehowa wɔ nu si ŋugbe wòdo elabena mezu Israel fia ɖe fofonye David yome eye azɔ la, metu gbedoxɔ sia na Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la ƒe ŋkɔ.
And the LORD has performed his word that he spoke, and I am risen up in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.
21 Mewɔ teƒe aɖe ɖe gbedoxɔ la me na nubablaɖaka la si me nubabla si Yehowa wɔ kple mía fofowo esime wòkplɔ wo tso Egiptenyigba dzi la le.”
And I have set there a place for the ark, wherein is the covenant of the LORD, which he made with our fathers, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.
22 Azɔ Solomo tsi tsitre ɖe Yehowa ƒe vɔsamlekpui la ŋgɔ le Israel ƒe ameha blibo la ŋkume, eye wòke eƒe abɔwo me do ɖe dziƒo
And Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven:
23 eye wògblɔ be, “Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu, Mawu aɖeke meɖi wò, le dziƒo afi ma alo anyigba dzi afi sia o, wò ame si léa wò lɔlɔ̃ ƒe nubabla me ɖe asi kple wò subɔla siwo zɔna ɖe wò mɔwo nu kple dzi blibo.
And he said, LORD God of Israel, there is no God like you, in heaven above, or on earth beneath, who keep covenant and mercy with your servants that walk before you with all their heart:
24 Egbe la, èwɔ ŋugbe si nèdo na fofonye David, ame si nye wò subɔla la dzi. Ètsɔ wò nu do ŋugbee eye nètsɔ wò asi wɔ edzi abe ale si wòle egbe ene.
Who have kept with your servant David my father that you promised him: you spoke also with your mouth, and have fulfilled it with your hand, as it is this day.
25 “Azɔ la, Oo Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu, wɔ ŋugbe bubu si nèdo nɛ la hã dzi. Èdo ŋugbe be, ne fofonye ƒe dzidzimeviwo alé wò mɔwo me ɖe asi eye woawɔ wò lɔlɔ̃nu abe ale si eya wɔ ene la, ekema wo dometɔ ɖeka anɔ Israel ƒe fiazikpui dzi ɣe sia ɣi.
Therefore now, LORD God of Israel, keep with your servant David my father that you promised him, saying, There shall not fail you a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel; so that your children take heed to their way, that they walk before me as you have walked before me.
26 Ke azɔ la, Israel ƒe Mawu, wɔ ŋugbedodo si nèwɔ na wò dɔla David, fofonye la hã dzi.
And now, O God of Israel, let your word, I pray you, be verified, which you spoke unto your servant David my father.
27 “Ke, ɖe Mawu ate ŋu anɔ anyigba dzia? Dziƒowo kple dziƒo kɔkɔtɔwo kekeake hã melolo na wò, hafi gbedoxɔ sia nasu na wò o!
But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain you; how much less this house that I have built?
28 Ke, ɖo to wò dɔla ƒe gbedodoɖa kple eƒe kokoƒoƒo na nublanuikpɔkpɔ, O Yehowa, nye Mawu. Se wò dɔla ƒe ɣlidodo kple gbe si wò dɔla le dodom ɖa na wò egbe.
Yet have you respect unto the prayer of your servant, and to his supplication, O LORD my God, to hearken unto the cry and to the prayer, which your servant prays before you to day:
29 Na wò ŋkuwo nanɔ gbedoxɔ sia ŋu zã kple keli, teƒe si ŋu nègblɔ le be ‘Nye ŋkɔ anɔ afi ma’ ale be nàse wò subɔla ƒe gbe si wòado ɖa ɖo ɖe teƒe sia.
That your eyes may be open toward this house night and day, even toward the place of which you have said, My name shall be there: that you may hearken unto the prayer which your servant shall make toward this place.
30 Ɖo to wò subɔla kple Israelviwo ƒe kukuɖeɖe ne wodze ŋgɔ afi sia eye wodo gbe ɖa na wò. Ɛ̃, se woƒe gbedodoɖa le dziƒo si nye wò nɔƒe eye ne èsee la, ekema nàtsɔ nu vɔ̃wo ake.
And hearken you to the supplication of your servant, and of your people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place: and hear you in heaven your dwelling place: and when you hear, forgive.
31 “Ne wotsɔ nya ɖe ame aɖe ŋu be ewɔ nu vɔ̃ aɖe eye wòtsi tsitre ɖe afi sia, le wò vɔsamlekpui la ŋgɔ heka atam be yemewɔ nu vɔ̃ la o la,
If any man trespass against his neighbour, and an oath be laid upon him to cause him to swear, and the oath come before your altar in this house:
32 ekema, se eƒe gbe le dziƒo, nàtso afia na ame si tɔ dzɔ, nàbu fɔ agɔdzela la eye nàna eƒe fɔɖiɖi nava eƒe ta dzi. Wɔ na ame si tɔ dzɔ la ɖe eƒe dzɔdzɔenyenye nu.
Then hear you in heaven, and do, and judge your servants, condemning the wicked, to bring his way upon his head; and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.
33 “Ne futɔwo ɖu wò dukɔ, Israel dzi elabena wowɔ nu vɔ̃ ɖe ŋutiwò, ne wotrɔ va gbɔwò eye woʋu wò ŋkɔ me, ne wodo gbe ɖa na wò le gbedoxɔ sia me la,
When your people Israel be smitten down before the enemy, because they have sinned against you, and shall return to you, and confess your name, and pray, and make supplication unto you in this house:
34 ekema se woƒe gbe tso dziƒo eye nàtsɔ wò dukɔ, Israel ƒe nu vɔ̃ akee eye nàgbugbɔ wo ava anyigba si nèna wo fofowo la dzi.
Then hear you in heaven, and forgive the sin of your people Israel, and bring them again unto the land which you gave unto their fathers.
35 “Ne dziƒowo nu tu eye tsi mele dzadzam o elabena wò amewo wɔ nu vɔ̃ ɖe ŋutiwò, ne wodo gbe ɖa ɖo ɖe teƒe sia, ʋu wò ŋkɔ me eye woɖe asi le woƒe nu vɔ̃ ŋu elabena èwɔ fu wo la,
When heaven 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:
36 ekema se woƒe kokoƒoƒo tso dziƒo eye nàtsɔ wò subɔlawo, wò dukɔ, Israel ƒe nu vɔ̃wo ake wo. Fia agbenɔnɔ ƒe mɔ nyuitɔ wo eye nàna tsi nadza ɖe anyigba si nèna wo abe woƒe domenyinu ene la dzi.
Then hear you in heaven, and forgive the sin of your servants, and of your people Israel, that you teach them the good way wherein they should walk, and give rain upon your land, which you have given to your people for an inheritance.
37 “Ne dɔ to le anyigba la dzi to dɔléle ƒe agblemenukuwo dzi dzedze alo ʋetsuviwo ƒe vava me, ne Israel ƒe futɔwo ɖe to ɖe Israel ƒe duwo dometɔ aɖe eye ne dɔvɔ̃ to le anyigba la dzi alo ne nu bubu ɖe sia ɖe na dɔ to le anyigba la dzi,
If there be in the land famine, if there be pestilence, blasting, mildew, locust, or if there be caterpillar; if their enemy besiege them in the land of their cities; whatsoever plague, whatsoever sickness there be;
38 ne wò dukɔ Israel ƒe amewo ƒo koko na wò, wo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe dze si eya ŋutɔ ƒe dzi ƒe fuɖenamewo eye wòdo eƒe asiwo ɖe dzi do ɖe gbedoxɔ sia gbɔ la,
What prayer and supplication whatsoever be made by any man, or by all your people Israel, which shall know every man the plague of his own heart, and spread forth his hands toward this house:
39 ekema se woƒe gbedodoɖa tso dziƒo, wò nɔƒe, tsɔ woƒe nu vɔ̃wo ke wo eye nàkpe ɖe ame sia ame si ʋu eƒe nu vɔ̃ me na wò le nyateƒe me la ŋu elabena ènya ame siawo ƒe dzi me.
Then hear you in heaven your dwelling place, and forgive, and do, and give to every man according to his ways, whose heart you know; (for you, even you only, know the hearts of all the children of men; )
40 Ale woasrɔ̃ ale si woavɔ̃ wòe esi wole anyigba si nèna wo fofowo la dzi.
That they may fear you all the days that they live in the land which you gave unto our fathers.
41 “Amedzro si metso wò dukɔ, Israel me o, ke wòtso didiƒenyigba aɖe dzi le wò ŋkɔ ta,
Moreover concerning a stranger, that is not of your people Israel, but comes out of a far country for your name's sake;
42 elabena amewo ase nu tso wò ŋkɔ gã la, wò asi sesẽ la kple wò alɔ si nèdo ɖe dzi la ta, ne amedzro sia va eye wòdo gbe ɖa le gbedoxɔ sia gbɔ la,

Hear you in heaven your dwelling place, and do according to all that the stranger calls to you for: that all people of the earth may know your name, to fear you, as do your people Israel; and that they may know that this house, which I have built, is called by your name.
44 “Ne èna wò amewo ho aʋa ɖe woƒe futɔwo ŋu eye wotrɔ mo ɖo ɖe Yerusalem, wò du tiatia la kple gbedoxɔ sia, si metu na wò ŋkɔ la,
If your people go out to battle against their enemy, anywhere you shall send them, and shall pray unto the LORD toward the city which you have chosen, and toward the house that I have built for your name:
45 se woƒe gbedodoɖa kple kokoƒoƒo le dziƒo eye nàxɔ na wo.
Then hear you in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.
46 “Ne wowɔ nu vɔ̃ ɖe ŋuwò, abe ale si ame sia ame wɔa nu vɔ̃ ene, nèdo dɔmedzoe ɖe wo ŋu eye nèna woƒe futɔwo ɖe aboyo wo yi dzronyigba aɖe dzi, didiƒe alo kpuiƒe
If they sin against you, (for there is no man that sins not, ) and you be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captives unto the land of the enemy, far or near;
47 eye ne wotrɔ susu le anyigba si dzi woɖe aboyo wo yi, eye wotrɔ dzi me heƒo koko le aboyonyigba dzi hegblɔ be, ‘Míewɔ nu vɔ̃, míeda vo eye míewɔ nu ŋutasẽtɔe’
Yet if they shall call to reflect themselves in the land where they were carried captives, and repent, and make supplication unto you in the land of them that carried them captives, saying, We have sinned, and have done perversely, we have committed wickedness;
48 eye ne wotrɔ va gbɔwò kple woƒe dzi blibo kple luʋɔ blibo le ame siwo ɖe aboyo wo ƒe anyigba dzi eye wodo gbe ɖa ɖo ɖe anyigba si nèna wo fofowo gbɔ, ɖo ɖe du si nètia kple gbedoxɔ si metu na wò ŋkɔ gbɔ la,
And so return unto you with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their enemies, which led them away captive, and pray unto you toward their land, which you gave unto their fathers, the city which you have chosen, and the house which I have built for your name:
49 ekema nàse woƒe gbedodoɖa kple kukuɖeɖe le dziƒo, wò nɔƒe eye nàwɔ woƒe biabiawo dzi na wo.
Then hear you their prayer and their supplication in heaven your dwelling place, and maintain their cause,
50 “Tsɔ wò amewo ƒe nu vɔ̃wo katã ke wo eye nàna ame siwo ɖe aboyo wo la nakpɔ nublanui na wo
And forgive your people that have sinned against you, and all their transgressions wherein they have transgressed against you, and give them compassion before them who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them:
51 elabena wò amewoe wonye, wò domenyinu si nèɖe tso Egiptetɔwo ƒe kpodzo mee wonye.
For they be your people, and your inheritance, which you brought forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron:
52 “Na wò ŋkuwo kple towo siaa naʋu ɖe woƒe kukuɖeɖewo ŋu. Oo, Yehowa, se woƒe gbedodoɖawo eye nàwɔ woƒe biabiawo dzi na wo ɣe sia ɣi si woado ɣli na wò
That your eyes may be open unto the supplication of your servant, and unto the supplication of your people Israel, to hearken unto them in all that they call for unto you.
53 elabena ètia wo le anyigbadzidukɔwo katã dome be woanye wò domenyinu, abe ale si nègblɔ to wò dɔla Mose dzi ene esi nèkplɔ mía fofowo tso Egipte, Oo Aƒetɔ Yehowa.”
For you did separate them from among all the people of the earth, to be your inheritance, as you spoke by the hand of Moses your servant, when you brought our fathers out of Egypt, O LORD God.
54 Esi Solomo wu gbedodoɖa siawo katã na Yehowa nu la, etsi tsitre tso Yehowa ƒe vɔsamlekpui la ŋgɔ afi si wòdze klo ɖo heke eƒe abɔwo me ɖo ɖe dziƒo.
And it was so, that when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication unto the LORD, he arose from before the altar of the LORD, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread up to heaven.
55 Etsi tsitre eye wòyra Israel ƒe ƒuƒoƒo blibo la kple gbe sesẽ aɖe hegblɔ be,
And he stood, and blessed all the congregation of Israel with a loud voice, saying,
56 “Woakafu Yehowa, ame si wɔ eƒe ŋugbedodowo katã dzi eye wòna ŋutifafa eƒe dukɔ, Israel. Nya ɖeka pɛ gɔ̃ hã megbe emevava le ŋugbe siwo wòdo to Mose dzi la me o.
Blessed be the LORD, that has given rest unto his people Israel, according to all that he promised: there has not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by the hand of Moses his servant.
57 Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu la nanɔ kpli mí abe ale si wònɔ kple mía fofowo eye megblẽ mí ɖi gbeɖegbeɖe o la ene.
The LORD our God be with us, as he was with our fathers: let him not leave us, nor forsake us:

That he may incline our hearts unto him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and his statutes, and his judgments, which he commanded our fathers.
59 Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu la nena nye gbedodoɖa sia me nyawo nanɔ eƒe ŋkume zã kple keli ale be wòakpe ɖe nye kple Israel blibo la ŋu le míaƒe gbe sia gbe ƒe nuhiahiãwo me.
And let these my words, wherewith I have made supplication before the LORD, be nigh unto the LORD our God day and night, that he maintain the cause of his servant, and the cause of his people Israel at all times, as the matter shall require:
60 Wòana wòava eme be anyigbadzitɔwo katã nanya be Yehowae nye Mawu eye mawu bubu aɖeke kura megali o.
That all the people of the earth may know that the LORD is God, and that there is none else.
61 Oo, nye amewo, mianɔ agbe dzadzɛ, le Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu la ŋkume, miawɔ eƒe sewo kple ɖoɖowo katã dzi, abe ale si miele ewɔm egbe ene la ko!”
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.
62 Azɔ la, Fia Solomo kple Israel blibo la sa vɔwo le Yehowa ŋkume.
And the king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifice before the LORD.
63 Solomo sa akpedavɔ na Yehowa kple nyi akpe blaeve-vɔ-eve kple alẽ kple gbɔ̃ akpe alafa ɖeka blaeve. Ale Fia la kple Israelviwo katã kɔ Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la ŋu.
And Solomon offered a sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered unto the LORD, two and twenty thousand oxen, and an hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the house of the LORD.
64 Gbe ma gbe ke la, fia la kɔ xɔxɔnu emetɔ si le Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ ŋgɔ la ŋuti eye le afi ma wòsa numevɔ, nuɖuvɔ kple akpedavɔ ƒe amiwo le elabena akɔblivɔsamlekpui si le Yehowa ŋkume la le sue akpa na numevɔ, nuɖuvɔ kple akpedavɔsawo ƒe ami.
The same day did the king hallow the middle of the court that was before the house of the LORD: for there he offered burnt offerings, and food 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 food offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings.
65 Ale Solomo ɖu ŋkekenyui le ɣe ma ɣi me eye Israel katã ɖui kplii. Ameha gã aɖe ŋutɔe wònye, ameawo tso Lebo Hamat va se ɖe Egipte tɔʋu la gbɔ ke. Woɖu ŋkeke sia le Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu la ŋkume ŋkeke adre eye wogaɖui ŋkeke adre bubu. Wo katã le ŋkeke wuiene.
And at that time Solomon held a feast, and all Israel with him, a great congregation, from the entering in of Hamath unto the river of Egypt, before the LORD our God, seven days and seven days, even fourteen days.
66 Esi ŋu ke la, edo mɔ ameawo wodzo. Woyra fia la hafi dzo yi aƒe me; dzidzɔ kple aseyetsotso yɔ woƒe dziwo me ɖe nu nyui siwo katã Yehowa wɔ na eƒe dɔla, David kple eƒe dukɔ, Israel la ta.
On the eighth day he sent the people away: and they blessed the king, and went unto 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.
