1耶和華的榮光充滿了殿所羅門禱告完了，有火從天上降下來，燒盡了燔祭和其他的祭品；耶和華的榮光充滿了那殿。
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 Yahweh filled the house.
2因為耶和華的榮光充滿了耶和華的殿，祭司都不能進入耶和華的殿。
2The priests could not enter into the house of Yahweh, because the glory of Yahweh filled Yahweh’s house.
3那火降下，耶和華的榮光停在殿上的時候，以色列眾人都看見；於是他們在鋪石地跪下，俯伏在地，敬拜稱頌耶和華說：“耶和華是良善的，他的慈愛永遠長存。”
3All the children of Israel looked on, when the fire came down, and the glory of Yahweh was on the house; and they bowed themselves with their faces to the ground on the pavement, and worshiped, and gave thanks to Yahweh, saying, “For he is good; for his loving kindness endures for ever.”
4所羅門和人民一起獻祭守節（王上8:62~66）王和全體人民都在耶和華面前獻祭。
4Then the king and all the people offered sacrifice before Yahweh.
5所羅門王獻上了二萬二千頭牛、十二萬隻羊為祭。這樣，王和全體人民為 神的殿舉行了奉獻禮。
5King Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty-two thousand head of cattle, and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the people dedicated God’s house.
6祭司都站在自己的崗位上；利未人拿著大衛王所做的耶和華的樂器，稱頌耶和華，因為他的慈愛永遠長存；大衛藉著他們讚美耶和華的時候，祭司在眾人前面吹號；以色列眾人都站著。
6The priests stood, according to their positions; the Levites also with instruments of music of Yahweh, which David the king had made to give thanks to Yahweh, when David praised by their ministry, saying “For his loving kindness endures for ever.” The priests sounded trumpets before them; and all Israel stood.
7所羅門把耶和華殿前院子當中的地方分別為聖，在那裡獻上了燔祭和平安祭的脂肪，因為所羅門所做的銅壇容不下所有的燔祭、素祭和脂肪。
7Moreover Solomon made the middle of the court holy that was before the house of Yahweh; for there he offered the burnt offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings, because the bronze altar which Solomon had made was not able to receive the burnt offering, and the meal offering, and the fat.
8那時，所羅門和全體以色列人，就是來自哈馬口，直到埃及小河的一群極大的會眾，一起舉行了七天的節期。
8So Solomon held the feast at that time seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great assembly, from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of Egypt.
9第八天舉行了嚴肅會，又舉行獻壇禮七天，舉行了七天的節期。
9On the eighth day they held a solemn assembly: for they kept the dedication of the altar seven days, and the feast seven days.
10七月二十三日，王遣散眾民回家；他們因看見耶和華向大衛、所羅門和他的子民以色列所施的恩惠，心裡都歡喜快樂。
10On the three and twentieth day of the seventh month he sent the people away to their tents, joyful and glad of heart for the goodness that Yahweh had shown to David, and to Solomon, and to Israel his people.
11耶和華的警告與應許（王上9:1~9）這樣，所羅門完成了耶和華的殿宇和王宮。在耶和華的殿裡或所羅門的宮中，所羅門心裡要作的，都順利地作成了。
11Thus Solomon finished the house of Yahweh, and the king’s house: and he successfully completed all that came into Solomon’s heart to make in the house of Yahweh, and in his own house.
12夜間，耶和華向所羅門顯現，對他說：“我已經聽了你的禱告，也為我自己選擇了這地方作獻祭的殿。
12Yahweh appeared to Solomon by night, and said to him, “I have heard your prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for a house of sacrifice.
13如果我使天閉塞不下雨，或吩咐蝗蟲吞吃這地的土產，或差遣瘟疫到我的子民中間來；
13“If I shut up the sky so that there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people;
14這稱為我名下的子民，若是謙卑、禱告、尋求我的面，轉離他們的惡行，我必從天上垂聽，赦免他們的罪，醫治他們的地。
14if my people, who 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.
15現在我的眼睛必張開，我的耳朵必垂聽在這地所發的禱告。
15Now my eyes shall be open, and my ears attentive, to the prayer that is made in this place.
16現在我揀選了這殿，把它分別為聖，使我的名永遠在這殿中；我的眼和我的心也常常留在那裡。
16For now have I chosen and made this house holy, that my name may be there forever; and my eyes and my heart shall be there perpetually.
17至於你，你若是在我面前行事為人像你的父親大衛所行的那樣，遵行我吩咐你的一切話，謹守我的律例和典章，
17“As for you, if you will walk before me as David your father walked, and do according to all that I have commanded you, and will keep my statutes and my ordinances;
18我就必鞏固你的國位，好像我和你父親大衛所立的約說：‘你的子孫必不會斷人作君王統治以色列。’
18then I will establish the throne of your kingdom, according as I covenanted with David your father, saying, ‘There shall not fail you a man to be ruler in Israel.’
19“可是，如果你轉離我，丟棄我在你們面前頒布的律例和誡命，去事奉和敬拜別的神，
19But if you 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;
20我就必把以色列人從我賜給他們的土地上拔出來，並且我為自己的名分別為聖的這殿，我也必從我面前捨棄，使這殿在萬民中成為笑談和譏笑的對象。
20then I will pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have made holy for my name, I will cast out of my sight, and I will make it a proverb and a byword among all peoples.
21這殿雖然高大，但將來經過的人，都必驚訝，說：‘耶和華為甚麼這樣對待這地和這殿呢？’
21This house, which is so high, everyone who passes by it shall be astonished, and shall say, ‘Why has Yahweh done thus to this land, and to this house?’
22人必回答說：‘是因為這地的人離棄了耶和華他們列祖的 神，就是領他們從埃及地出來的 神，去親近別的神，敬拜和事奉他們；所以，耶和華使這一切災禍臨到他們。’”
22They shall answer, ‘Because they abandoned Yahweh, the God of their fathers, who brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, and took other gods, worshiped them, and served them. Therefore he has brought all this evil on them.’”
