1Zvino Soromoni akati apedza kunyengetera, moto ndokuburuka kudenga, ukapedza chipiriso chinopiswa nezvimwe zvibayiro; kubwinya kwaJehovha kukazadza imba.
1Now when Solomon had made an end of praying, the fire came down from heaven, and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of the LORD filled the house.
2Vapristi vakakoniwa kupinda muimba yaJehovha, nekuti kubwinya kwaJehovha kwakanga kwazadza imba yaJehovha.
2And the priests could not enter into the house of the LORD, because the glory of the LORD had filled the LORD's house.
3Vana vaIsiraeri vose vakatarira moto uchiburuka kudenga nokubwinya kwaJehovha kuchigara pamusoro peimba; vakakotamira pasi nezviso zvavo pakarongwa namabwe, vakanamata nokuvonga Jehovha, vachiti, nekuti akanaka. Nekuti nyasha dzake dzinogara nokusingaperi.
3And when all the children of Israel saw how the fire came down, and the glory of the LORD upon the house, they bowed themselves with their faces to the ground upon the pavement, and worshipped, and praised the LORD, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever.
4Ipapo mambo navanhu vose vakabayira zvibayiro pamberi paJehovha.
4Then the king and all the people offered sacrifices before the LORD.
5Mambo Soromoni akabayira chibayiro chenzombe dzine zviuru zvina makumi maviri nezviviri, namakwai ane zviuru zvine zana namakumi maviri. Saizvozvo mambo navanhu vose vakatsaurira Mwari imba iyo.
5And king Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty and two thousand oxen, and an hundred and twenty thousand sheep: so the king and all the people dedicated the house of God.
6Vapristi vakamirapo, sezvavakagoverwa mabasa avo; navaRevhivo vane zvokuridzira Jehovha, zvakaitwa namambo Dhavhidhi, zvokuvonga Jehovha nazvo, nekuti nyasha dzake dzinogara nokusingaperi, panguva iya Dhavhidhi yaakakudza Jehovha nazvo; vapristi vakaridza hwamanda pamberi pavo, vaIsiraeri vose vakamira.
6And the priests waited on their offices: the Levites also with instruments of music of the LORD, which David the king had made to praise the LORD, because his mercy endureth for ever, when David praised by their ministry; and the priests sounded trumpets before them, and all Israel stood.
7Soromoni akatsaurawo nzvimbo yapakati yoruvazhe rwakanga ruri pamberi peimba yaJehovha; nekuti ndipo paakabayira zvipiriso zvinopiswa, namafuta ezvipiriso zvokuyananisa; nekuti aritari yendarira yakaitwa naSoromoni yakanga isingagoni kuringana chipiriso chinopiswa, nechipiriso choupfu, namafuta.
7Moreover Solomon hallowed the middle of the court that was before the house of the LORD: for there he offered burnt offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings, because the brazen altar which Solomon had made was not able to receive the burnt offerings, and the meat offerings, and the fat.
8Naizvozvo Soromoni akatamba mutambo panguva iyo mazuva manomwe, navaIsiraeri vose pamwechete naye, ikaita ungano huru-huru, kubva pavanopinda paHamati, kusvikira parukova rweEgipita.
8Also at the same time Solomon kept the feast seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great congregation, from the entering in of Hamath unto the river of Egypt.
9Zvino pazuva rorusere vakatamba mutambo wokupedzisira; nekuti vakatsaura aritari mazuva manomwe, vakaita mutambo mazuva manomwe.
9And in the eighth day they made a solemn assembly: for they kept the dedication of the altar seven days, and the feast seven days.
10Zvino pazuva ramakumi maviri namatatu romwedzi wechinomwe akaendisa vanhu kumatende avo nemoyo yakanga ichifara, ichifarira zvakanaka zvose zvakaitira Jehovha Dhavhidhi, naSoromoni, navanhu vake vaIsiraeri.
10And on the three and twentieth day of the seventh month he sent the people away into their tents, glad and merry in heart for the goodness that the LORD had showed unto David, and to Solomon, and to Israel his people.
11Saizvozvo Soromoni akapedza imba yaJehovha, neimba yamambo; zvose zvakanga zviri mumoyo waSoromoni kuita muimba yaJehovha, nomumba make, wakazviita kwazvo.
11Thus Solomon finished the house of the LORD, and the king's house: and all that came into Solomon's heart to make in the house of the LORD, and in his own house, he prosperously effected.
12Ipapo Jehovha akazviratidza kuna Soromoni usiku, akati kwaari, Ndanzwa kunyengetera kwako, ndazvitsaurira nzvimbo iyi, ive imba yokubayira zvibayiro.
12And the LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him, I have heard thy prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for an house of sacrifice.
13Kana ndichinge ndadzivira kudenga, kuti mvura irege kunaya, kana zvimwe ndichinge ndaraira mhashu, kuti dzipedze nyika, kana zvimwe ndichinge ndatuma denda pakati pavanhu vangu;
13If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people;
14kana vanhu vangu, vakatumidzwa nezita rangu, vakazvininipisa, vakanyengetera nokutsvaka chiso changu, nokurega nzira dzavo dzakaipa; ipapo ndichanzwa kudenga ndichavakangamwira zvivi zvavo, nokupodza nyika yavo.
14If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
15Zvino meso angu achasvinura, nzeve dzangu dzichateerera ndinzwe munyengetero unoitwa panzvimbo iyi.
15Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place.
16Nekuti zvino ndatsaura imba ino nokuiita tsvene, zita rangu rivepo nokusingaperi; meso angu nomoyo wangu zvichavapo nokusingaperi.
16For now have I chosen and sanctified this house, that my name may be there for ever: and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually.
17Kana uriwe, kana ukafamba pamberi pangu sababa vako, Dhavhidhi, ukaita zvose zvandakakuraira, ukachengeta zvandatema nezvandatonga,
17And as for thee, if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, and do according to all that I have commanded thee, and shalt observe my statutes and my judgments;
18ipapo ini ndichasimbisa chigaro chako choushe, sezvandakapikira baba vako Dhavhidhi, ndichiti, Haungashaiwi munhu achabata ushe hwaIsiraeri.
18Then will I stablish the throne of thy kingdom, according as I have covenanted with David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man to be ruler in Israel.
19Asi kana mukatsauka, mukasiya zvandatema nezvandaraira zvandakaisa pamberi penyu, mukandoshumira vamwe vamwari, mukavanamata;
19But if ye turn away, and forsake my statutes and my commandments, which I have set before you, and shall go and serve other gods, and worship them;
20ipapo ndichavadzura nemidzi panyika yangu yandakavapa, neimba iyi yandakatsaurira zita rangu, ndichairashira kure ndirege kuiona, ndiite shumo nechiseko pakati pavanhu vose.
20Then will I pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have sanctified for my name, will I cast out of my sight, and will make it to be a proverb and a byword among all nations.
21Neimba iyi kunyange yakakwirira ikadai, vose vanopfuura nayo vachakanuka, vachiti, Jehovha wakaitireiko kudai nenyika ino, uye neimba iyi?
21And this house, which is high, shall be an astonishment to every one that passeth by it; so that he shall say, Why hath the LORD done thus unto this land, and unto this house?
22Vachapindura, vachiti: Nekuti vakasiya Jehovha, Mwari wamadzibaba avo, wakavabudisa panyika yeEgipita, vakanamatira vamwe vamwari, vakavanamata, nokuvashumira; saka Jehovha akavapinza panjodzi idzi dzose.
22And it shall be answered, Because they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, which brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on other gods, and worshipped them, and served them: therefore hath he brought all this evil upon them.
