Macbudkii Gooni Baa Laga Dhigay

Haddaba Sulaymaan markuu tukashadiisii dhammeeyey, dab baa samada ka yimid oo wada gubay qurbaankii la gubayay iyo allabaryadiiba, oo gurigana waxaa ka buuxsantay ammaantii Rabbiga. Oo wadaaddadiina ma ay geli karin gurigii Rabbiga, maxaa yeelay, gurigii Rabbiga waxaa ka buuxsantay ammaantii Rabbiga. Oo reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammuna way wada eegeen markii dabku samada ka yimid, oo ammaantii Rabbiguna ay guriga kor joogtay, markaasay wada sujuudeen oo wejigooda dhulka sallaxa ah saareen, oo Rabbigay caabudeen oo ku mahadnaqeen, waxayna yidhaahdeen, Isagu wuu wanaagsan yahay, waayo, naxariistiisu weligeedba way raagtaa. Markaasay boqorkii iyo dadkii oo dhammuba allabari Rabbiga hortiisa ku bixiyeen. Oo Boqor Sulaymaan wuxuu allabari ahaan u bixiyey laba iyo labaatan kun oo dibi iyo boqol iyo labaatan kun oo ido ah. Sidaasay boqorkii iyo dadkii kale oo dhammuba gooni uga dhigeen gurigii Ilaah. Markaasaa wadaaddadii waxay u istaageen sidii shuqulkoodu kala ahaa, kuwii reer Laawina way istaageen iyagoo haysta alaabtii muusikada ee Rabbiga, taasoo uu Boqor Daa'uud u sameeyey in Rabbiga lagu mahadnaqo markii Daa'uud Rabbiga ku ammaanay hawshooda, waayo, naxariistiisu weligeedba way raagtaa, oo wadaaddadiina hortooday turumbooyin kaga dhawaajiyeen, oo reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammuna way wada istaageen. Oo weliba Sulaymaan wuxuu quduus ka dhigay barxaddii ka horraysay guriga Rabbiga dhexdeeda, waayo, halkaas wuxuu ku bixiyey qurbaannada la gubo, iyo baruurtii qurbaannada nabaadiinada, maxaa yeelay, meeshii allabariga oo naxaasta ahayd ee uu Sulaymaan sameeyey ma ay wada qaadi karin qurbaanka la gubo iyo qurbaanka hadhuudhka iyo baruurtaba. Oo wakhtigaas Sulaymaan sidaasuu iiddii u sameeyey toddoba maalmood, iyadoo ay la joogaan reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu, kuwaasoo ahaa shir aad u weyn, oo waxay ka yimaadeen meesha Xamaad laga soo galo iyo ilaa durdurka Masar. Oo maalintii siddeedaadna waxay sameeyeen shir quduus ah, waayo, iyagu meesha allabariga gooni-ka-dhigiddeedii waxay ku jireen toddoba maalmood, toddoba maalmoodna waxay ku jireen iiddii. 10 Oo bishii toddobaad maalinteedii saddex iyo labaatanaad ayuu dadkii u kala diray teendhooyinkoodii iyagoo faraxsan oo qalbiga kaga rayraynaya wanaaggii uu Rabbigu u sameeyey Daa'uud iyo Sulaymaan iyo dadkiisii reer binu Israa'iilba.

Rabbiga Baa U Muuqday Sulaymaan

11 Haddaba Sulaymaan sidaasuu u dhammeeyey gurigii Rabbiga iyo gurigii boqorkaba, oo wax alla wixii galay Sulaymaan qalbigiisa inuu u sameeyo gurigii Rabbiga iyo isaga gurigiisiiba dhammaan wuu ku liibaanay. 12 Oo Rabbiga wuxuu Sulaymaan u muuqday goor habeennimo ah, oo ku yidhi, Baryadaadii waan maqlay oo meeshanna waan u doortay inay guri lagu allabaryo ii ahaato. 13 Haddaba haddaan samada xidho oo roob laga waayo, ama haddaan ayaxa ku amro inuu dalka cuno, ama haddaan dadkayga belaayo ku soo dhex daayo, 14 haddii dadkayga oo ah kuwa magacayga lagu yeedhay ay is-hoosaysiiyaan, oo i baryaan, oo wejigayga doondoonaan, oo jidadkoodii xumaa ka soo noqdaan, de markaasaan samada ka maqli doonaa, oo dembigoodana waan ka cafiyi doonaa, oo dalkoodana waan bogsiin doonaa. 15 Oo weliba indhahaygu way furmi doonaan oo dhegahayguna way maqli doonaan baryootanka meeshan lagu baryootamo. 16 Maxaa yeelay, hadda waxaan gurigan u doortay oo quduus uga dhigay si magacayga weligiisba halkaas loogu daayo, oo indhahayga iyo qalbigayguba halkaasay joogi doonaan weligood iyo weligoodba. 17 Oo adiguna haddaad sidii aabbahaa Daa'uud oo kale hortayda ugu socotid, si aad u yeeshid wax alla wixii aan kugu amray oo dhan, oo aad u xajisid qaynuunnadayda iyo xukummadayda, 18 markaasaan dhisi doonaa carshiga boqortooyadaada, sidaan axdi kula dhigtay aabbahaa Daa'uud markaan ku idhi, Lagaa waayi maayo nin reer binu Israa'iil u taliya. 19 Laakiinse haddaad iga leexataan oo aad ka tagtaan qaynuunnadayda iyo amarradayda aan idin hor dhigay, oo aad intaad tagtaan ilaahyo kale u adeegtaan oo caabuddaan, 20 de markaasaan xididdadooda ka rujin doonaa dalkayga aan iyaga siiyey, oo gurigan aan magacayga aawadiis quduus uga dhigayna hortaydaan ka tuuri doonaa, oo waxaan isaga dadyowga oo dhan kaga dhex dhigi doonaa maahmaah iyo halqabsi. 21 Oo gurigan aad u dheerna ku alla kii soo ag maraaba wuu la yaabi doonaa, oo wuxuu odhan doonaa, Rabbigu muxuu sidan uga dhigay dalkan iyo gurigan? 22 Oo waxaa lagu jawaabi doonaa, Waxay ka tageen Rabbigii ahaa Ilaaha awowayaashood oo iyaga ka soo bixiyey dalkii Masar, oo waxay raaceen ilaahyo kale, wayna caabudeen oo u adeegeen, oo sidaas daraaddeed ayuu xumaantan oo dhan ugu soo dejiyey.

The Dedication of the Temple(A)

When Solomon finished praying, fire(B) came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices, and the glory of the Lord filled(C) the temple.(D) The priests could not enter(E) the temple of the Lord because the glory(F) of the Lord filled it. When all the Israelites saw the fire coming down and the glory of the Lord above the temple, they knelt on the pavement with their faces to the ground, and they worshiped and gave thanks to the Lord, saying,

“He is good;
    his love endures forever.”(G)

Then the king and all the people offered sacrifices before the Lord. And King Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty-two thousand head of cattle and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep and goats. So the king and all the people dedicated the temple of God. The priests took their positions, as did the Levites(H) with the Lord’s musical instruments,(I) which King David had made for praising the Lord and which were used when he gave thanks, saying, “His love endures forever.” Opposite the Levites, the priests blew their trumpets, and all the Israelites were standing.

Solomon consecrated the middle part of the courtyard in front of the temple of the Lord, and there he offered burnt offerings and the fat(J) of the fellowship offerings, because the bronze altar he had made could not hold the burnt offerings, the grain offerings and the fat portions.

So Solomon observed the festival(K) at that time for seven days, and all Israel(L) with him—a vast assembly, people from Lebo Hamath(M) to the Wadi of Egypt.(N) On the eighth day they held an assembly, for they had celebrated(O) the dedication of the altar for seven days and the festival(P) for seven days more. 10 On the twenty-third day of the seventh month he sent the people to their homes, joyful and glad in heart for the good things the Lord had done for David and Solomon and for his people Israel.

The Lord Appears to Solomon(Q)

11 When Solomon had finished(R) the temple of the Lord and the royal palace, and had succeeded in carrying out all he had in mind to do in the temple of the Lord and in his own palace, 12 the Lord appeared(S) to him at night and said:

“I have heard your prayer and have chosen(T) this place for myself(U) as a temple for sacrifices.

13 “When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain,(V) or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people, 14 if my people, who are called by my name,(W) will humble(X) themselves and pray and seek my face(Y) and turn(Z) from their wicked ways, then I will hear(AA) from heaven, and I will forgive(AB) their sin and will heal(AC) their land. 15 Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place.(AD) 16 I have chosen(AE) and consecrated this temple so that my Name may be there forever. My eyes and my heart will always be there.

17 “As for you, if you walk before me faithfully(AF) as David your father did, and do all I command, and observe my decrees(AG) and laws, 18 I will establish your royal throne, as I covenanted(AH) with David your father when I said, ‘You shall never fail to have a successor(AI) to rule over Israel.’(AJ)

19 “But if you[a] turn away(AK) and forsake(AL) the decrees and commands I have given you[b] and go off to serve other gods and worship them, 20 then I will uproot(AM) Israel from my land,(AN) which I have given them, and will reject this temple I have consecrated for my Name. I will make it a byword and an object of ridicule(AO) among all peoples. 21 This temple will become a heap of rubble. All[c] who pass by will be appalled(AP) and say,(AQ) ‘Why has the Lord done such a thing to this land and to this temple?’ 22 People will answer, ‘Because they have forsaken the Lord, the God of their ancestors, who brought them out of Egypt, and have embraced other gods, worshiping and serving them(AR)—that is why he brought all this disaster on them.’”
