¹运约柜进殿（代下5:2-6:2）那时，所罗门把以色列的长老、各支派的首领和以色列的族长，都召集到耶路撒冷自己面前，要把耶和华的约柜从大卫城，就是锡安运上来。

¹Then doth Solomon assemble the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, princes of the fathers of the sons of Israel, unto king Solomon, to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah from the city of David — it [is] Zion;

²于是，在以他念月，就是七月，在守节期的时候，以色列众人都聚集到所罗门王那里。

²and all the men of Israel are assembled unto king Solomon, in the month of Ethanim, in the festival — [is] the seventh month.

³以色列的众长老都来到了，祭司们就把约柜抬起来。

³And all the elders of Israel come in, and the priests lift up the ark,

⁴祭司和利未人把耶和华的约柜、会幕和会幕里的一切圣器具都运上来。

⁴and bring up the ark of Jehovah, and the tent of meeting, and all the holy vessels that [are] in the tent, yea, the priests and the Levites bring them up.

⁵所罗门王和聚集到他那里的以色列全体会众，都一同在约柜前献牛羊为祭，数目多得不可胜数，无法计算。

⁵And king Solomon and all the company of Israel who are met unto him [are] with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that are not counted nor numbered for multitude.

⁶祭司把耶和华的约柜抬进内殿为它预备的地方，就是至圣所，放在两个基路伯的翅膀底下。

⁶And the priests bring in the ark of the covenant of Jehovah unto its place, unto the oracle of the house, unto the holy of holies, unto the place of the wings of the cherubs;

⁷因为基路伯展开翅膀在约柜所在地的上面，遮掩约柜和抬柜的杠。

⁷for the cherubs are spreading forth two wings unto the place of the ark, and the cherubs cover over the ark, and over its staves from above;

⁸这些杠很长，在内殿前的圣所可以看见杠头，在殿外却看不见；直到今日，这些杠还在那里。

⁸and they lengthen the staves, and the heads of the staves are seen from the holy [place] on the front of the oracle, and are not seen without, and they are there unto this day.

⁹约柜里面只有两块石版，这两块石版在以色列人出埃及地以后，耶和华与他们立约的时候，摩西在何烈山放在那里的。

⁹There is nothing in the ark, only the two tables of stone which Moses put there in Horeb, when Jehovah covenanted with the sons of Israel in their going out of the land of Egypt.

¹⁰祭司从圣所里出来的时候，有云彩充满耶和华的殿，

¹⁰And it cometh to pass, in the going out of the priests from the holy [place], that the cloud hath filled the house of Jehovah,

¹¹因为云彩的缘故，祭司不能站立服事，因为耶和华的荣光充满了圣殿。

¹¹and the priests have not been able to stand to minister because of the cloud, for the honour of Jehovah hath filled the house of Jehovah.

¹²那时，所罗门说：“耶和华曾说，他要住在密云中。

¹²Then said Solomon, `Jehovah hath said to dwell in thick darkness;

¹³现在我果然为你建造了一座巍峨的殿，作你永远的居所。”

¹³I have surely built a house of habitation for Thee; a fixed place for Thine abiding to the ages.`

¹⁴所罗门宣告建殿的理由（代下6:3-11）于是王把脸转过来，为全体以色列会众祝福，全体以色列会众都站着。

¹⁴And the king turneth round his face, and blesseth the whole assembly of Israel; and all the assembly of Israel is standing.

¹⁵所罗门说：“耶和华以色列的　神是应当称颂的，因为他亲口对我父亲大卫应许过的，现在他亲手成全了。他说：

¹⁵And he saith, `Blessed [is] Jehovah, God of Israel, who spake by His mouth with David my father, and by His hand hath fulfilled [it], saying,

¹⁶‘自从我把我的子民以色列领出埃及的日子以来，我未曾在以色列的各支派中拣选一座城，建造殿宇，作我名的居所；但我拣选了大卫治理我的子民以色列。’

¹⁶From the day that I brought out My people, even Israel, from Egypt, I have not fixed on a city out of all the tribes of Israel, to build a house for My name being there; and I fix on David to be over My people Israel.

¹⁷我父大卫心里有意要为耶和华以色列的　神的名建殿。

¹⁷`And it is with the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of Jehovah, God of Israel,

¹⁸但耶和华对我父大卫说：‘你心里有意为我的名建一座殿，你这心意是好的。

¹⁸and Jehovah saith unto David my father, Because that it hath been with thy heart to build a house for My name, thou hast done well that it hath been with thy heart;

¹⁹然而你不要建造这殿，只有你亲生的儿子，他必为我的名建造这殿。’

¹⁹only, thou dost not build the house, but thy son who is coming out from thy loins, he doth build the house for My name.

²⁰现在耶和华已经实现了他说过的话，我已经起来继承我父大卫，坐在以色列的王位上，正如耶和华所说过的。我也已经为耶和华以色列的　神的名建造了这殿。

²⁰`And Jehovah doth establish His word which He spake, and I am risen up instead of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as Jehovah spake, and build the house for the name of Jehovah, God of Israel,

²¹我又为约柜预备了一个地方。这约柜里有耶和华的约，就是他领我们列祖出埃及地的时候与他们所立的。”

²¹and set there a place for the ark, where [is] the covenant of Jehovah which He made with our fathers in His bringing them out from the land of Egypt.`

²²所罗门献殿的祷告（代下6:12-42）所罗门当着以色列的全体会众，站在耶和华的祭坛前，向天伸开双手，

²²And Solomon standeth before the altar of Jehovah, over-against all the assembly of Israel, and spreadeth his hands towards the heavens,

²³祷告说：“耶和华以色列的　神啊，天上地下没有别的神像你；你对一心在你面前行事为人的仆人守约施慈爱。

²³and saith, `Jehovah, God of Israel, there is not a God like Thee, in the heavens above, and on the earth beneath, keeping the covenant and the kindness for Thy servants, those walking before Thee with all their heart,

²⁴你谨守了你应许过你仆人我父大卫的话。你亲口说过，也亲手作成，正如今天一样。

²⁴who hast kept for Thy servant David my father that which Thou spakest to him; yea, Thou speakest with Thy mouth, and with Thy hand hast fulfilled [it], as [at] this day.

²⁵耶和华以色列的　神啊，现在求你谨守你应许你仆人我父亲大卫的话：‘只要你的子孙谨守他们的行为，像你在我面前所行的一样，就必不断有人坐以色列的王位。’

²⁵`And now, Jehovah, God of Israel, keep for Thy servant David my father that which Thou spakest to him, saying, There is not cut off to thee a man from before Me, sitting on the throne of Israel — only, if thy sons watch their way, to walk before Me as thou hast walked before Me.

²⁶以色列的　神啊，现在求你成就你应许你仆人我父大卫的话吧！

²⁶`And now, O God of Israel, let it be established, I pray Thee, Thy word which Thou hast spoken to Thy servant, David my father.

²⁷“　神真的住在地上吗？看哪！天和天上的天尚且不能容纳你，何况我建造的这殿呢？

²⁷But, is it true? — God dwelleth on the earth! lo, the heavens, and the heavens of the heavens do not contain Thee, how much less this house which I have builded!

²⁸然而耶和华我的　神啊，求你垂顾你仆人的祷告和恳求，垂听你仆人今天在你面前所作的呼吁和祷告。

²⁸`Then thou hast turned unto the prayer of Thy servant, and unto his supplication, O Jehovah my God, to hearken unto the cry and unto the prayer which Thy servant is praying before Thee to-day,

²⁹愿你的眼睛昼夜看顾这殿，看顾你所说‘我的名要留在那里’的地方。愿你垂听你仆人向这地方所发的祷告。

²⁹for Thine eyes being open towards this house night and day, towards the place of which Thou hast said, My Name is there; to hearken unto the prayer which Thy servant prayeth towards this place.

³⁰你仆人和你的子民以色列向这地方祷告的时候，求你垂听他们的恳求。求你在天上的居所垂听，垂听而赦免。

³⁰`Then Thou hast hearkened unto the supplication of Thy servant, and of Thy people Israel, which they pray towards this place; yea, Thou dost hearken in the place of Thy dwelling, in the heavens — and Thou hast hearkened, and hast forgiven,

³¹“如果有人得罪他的邻居被迫起誓，他来到这殿在你的祭坛前起誓的时候，

³¹that which a man sinneth against his neighbour, and he hath lifted up upon him an oath to cause him to swear, and the oath hath come in before Thine altar in this house,

³²求你在天上垂听，采取行动，审判你的仆人，定恶人有罪，使他所行的，都归到他自己的头上。定义人有理，照着他的公义赏赐他。

³²then Thou dost hear in the heavens, and hast done, and hast judged Thy servants, to declare wicked the wicked, to put his way on his head, and to declare righteous the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.

³³“你的子民以色列若是得罪了你，以致在仇敌面前被打败，又回转归向你，承认你的名，在这殿里向你祷告恳求的时候，

³³`In Thy people Israel being smitten before an enemy, because they sin against Thee, and they have turned back unto Thee, and have confessed Thy name, and prayed, and made supplication unto Thee in this house,

³⁴求你在天上垂听，赦免你的子民以色列的罪，领他们返回你赐给他们列祖之地。

³⁴then thou dost hear in the heavens, and hast forgiven the sin of Thy people Israel, and brought them back unto the ground that Thou gavest to their fathers.

³⁵“如果他们因为得罪了你，天就闭塞不下雨；他们若是向这地方祷告，承认你的名；又因你苦待他们，就离开他们的罪，

³⁵`In the heavens being restrained, and there is no rain, because they sin against Thee, and they have prayed towards this place, and confessed Thy name, and from their sin turn back, for Thou dost afflict them,

³⁶求你在天上垂听，赦免你仆人和你的子民以色列的罪，指示他们当行的善道，赐雨水在你的地上，就是你赐给你子民的产业之地。

³⁶then Thou dost hear in the heavens, and hast forgiven the sin of Thy servants, and of Thy people Israel, for Thou directest them the good way in which they go, and hast given rain on Thy land which Thou hast given to Thy people for inheritance.

³⁷“如果这地有饥荒、瘟疫、旱风、霉烂、蝗虫、蚂蚱，或有仇敌把他们围困在城里，无论遭遇什么灾祸，什么疾病，

³⁷`Famine — when it is in the land; pestilence — when it is; blasting, mildew, locust; caterpillar — when it is; when its enemy hath distressed it in the land [in] its gates, any plague, any sickness, —

³⁸你的子民以色列，或是众人，或是个人，知道自己心里的苦痛，向这殿伸开双手所作的一切祷告、一切恳求，

³⁸any prayer, any supplication that [is] of any man of all Thy people Israel, who know each the plague of his own heart, and hath spread his hands towards this house,

³⁹求你在天上你的居所垂听而赦免，并且采取行动。你是知道人心的，只有你知道万人的心，求你照着各人所行的报应他，

³⁹then Thou dost hear in the heavens, the settled place of Thy dwelling, and hast forgiven, and hast done, and hast given to each according to all his ways, whose heart Thou knowest, (for Thou hast known — Thyself alone — the heart of all the sons of man),

⁴⁰好使他们在你赐给我们列祖的地上，一生一世敬畏你。

⁴⁰so that they fear Thee all the days that they are living on the face of the ground that Thou hast given to our fathers.

⁴¹“至于不属于你的子民以色列的外族人，为了你的名的缘故从远地而来，

⁴¹`And also, unto the stranger who is not of Thy people Israel, and hath come from a land afar off for Thy name`s sake —

⁴²因为他们听到你的大名、大能的手和伸出来的膀臂，他们来向这殿祷告的时候，

⁴²(for they hear of Thy great name, and of Thy strong hand, and of Thy stretched-out arm) — and he hath come in and prayed towards this house,

⁴³求你在天上你的居所垂听，照着外族人向你呼求的一切而行，好使地上的万族万民都认识你的名，敬畏你，像你的子民以色列一样；又使他们知道我建造的这殿是称为你的名下的。

⁴³Thou dost hear in the heavens, the settled place of Thy dwelling, and hast done according to all that the stranger calleth unto Thee for, in order that all the peoples of the earth may know Thy name, to fear Thee like Thy people Israel, and to know that Thy name hath been called on this house which I have builded.

⁴⁴“如果你的子民出去与仇敌争战，无论你派他们到哪处，他们若是向你所拣选的这城，并向我为你的名建造的这殿祷告，

⁴⁴`When Thy people doth go out to battle against its enemy, in the way that Thou dost send them, and they have prayed unto Jehovah the way of the city which thou hast fixed on, and of the house which I have builded for Thy name;

⁴⁵求你在天上垂听他们的祷告和恳求，为他们主持公道。

⁴⁵then Thou hast heard in the heavens their prayer and their supplication, and hast maintained their cause.

⁴⁶“如果你的子民得罪了你（没有不犯罪的世人），你向他们发怒，把他们交给仇敌，以致仇敌把他们掳到仇敌的地方，或是远或是近，

⁴⁶`When they sin against Thee (for there is not a man who sinneth not), and Thou hast been angry with them, and hast given them up before an enemy, and they have taken captive their captivity unto the land of the enemy far off or near;

⁴⁷在被掳的地方，他们若是回心转意，在他们被掳去之地回转，向你祈求，说：‘我们犯了罪了；我们犯了过了，我们作了恶事。’

⁴⁷and they have turned [it] back unto their heart in the land whither they have been taken captive, and have turned back, and made supplication unto Thee, in the land of their captors, saying, We have sinned and done perversely — we have done wickedly;

⁴⁸如果他们在俘掳他们的仇敌的地方，一心一意回转归向你，又向着你赐给他们列祖的地方，向你所拣选的这城，和我为你的名建造的这殿祷告，

⁴⁸yea, they have turned back unto Thee, with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their enemies who have taken them captive, and have prayed unto Thee the way of their land, which Thou gavest to their fathers, the city which Thou hast chosen, and the house which I have builded for Thy name:

⁴⁹求你在天上你的居所垂听他们的祷告和恳求，为他们主持公道。

⁴⁹`Then Thou hast heard in the heavens, the settled place of Thy dwelling, their prayer and their supplication, and hast maintained their cause,

⁵⁰赦免得罪了你的子民，又赦免他们冒犯你的一切过犯，使他们在掳他们的人面前蒙怜悯。

⁵⁰and hast forgiven Thy people who have sinned against Thee, even all their transgressions which they have transgressed against Thee, and hast given them mercies before their captors, and they have had mercy [on] them —

⁵¹因为他们是你的子民、你的产业，是你从埃及、从铁炉中领出来的。

⁵¹(for Thy people and Thy inheritance [are] they, whom Thou didst bring out of Egypt, out of the midst of the furnace of iron) —

⁵²愿你睁开眼睛看顾你仆人的祈求，和你的子民以色列的祈求，他们向你呼求的，愿你都垂听。

⁵²for Thine eyes being open unto the supplication of Thy servant, and unto the supplication of Thy people Israel, to hearken unto them in all they call unto Thee for;

⁵³主耶和华啊！因为你已经把他们从地上万族万民中分别出来，作自己的产业，正如你领我们的列祖出埃及的时候，借着你的仆人摩西所应许的。”

⁵³for Thou hast separated them to Thyself for an inheritance, out of all the peoples of the earth, as Thou didst speak by the hand of Moses Thy servant, in Thy bringing out our fathers from Egypt, O Lord Jehovah.`

⁵⁴所罗门为人民祝福所罗门在耶和华的祭坛前屈膝下跪，向天伸开双手，向耶和华献完了这一切祷告和恳求以后，就起来，

⁵⁴And it cometh to pass, at Solomon`s finishing to pray unto Jehovah all this prayer and supplication, he hath risen from before the altar of Jehovah, from bending on his knees, and his hands spread out to the heavens,

⁵⁵站着，大声给以色列的全体会众祝福，说：

⁵⁵and he standeth and blesseth all the assembly of Israel [with] a loud voice, saying,

⁵⁶“耶和华是应当称颂的。他照着自己一切所应许的，赐安息给他的子民以色列人。借着他的仆人摩西所应许一切美好的话，一句都没有落空。

⁵⁶`Blessed [is] Jehovah who hath given rest to His people Israel, according to all that He hath spoken; there hath not fallen one word of all His good word, which He spake by the hand of Moses his servant.

⁵⁷愿耶和华我们的　神与我们同在，像与我们的列祖同在一样。愿他不离弃我们，也不撇下我们。

⁵⁷`Jehovah our God is with us as He hath been with our fathers; He doth not forsake us nor leave us;

⁵⁸愿他使我们的心归向他，遵行他的一切道，谨守他吩咐我们列祖的诫命、律例和典章。

⁵⁸to incline our heart unto Himself, to walk in all His ways, and to keep His commands, and His statutes, and His judgments, which He commanded our fathers;

⁵⁹愿我在耶和华面前恳求的这些话，昼夜都不离耶和华我们的　神，好使他天天为他仆人和他的子民以色列人主持公道，

⁵⁹and these my words with which I have made supplication before Jehovah, are near unto Jehovah our God by day and by night, to maintain the cause of His servant, and the cause of His people Israel, the matter of a day in its day;

⁶⁰使地上万族万民都知道耶和华是　神，除他以外没有别的神。

⁶⁰for all the peoples of the earth knowing that Jehovah, He [is] God; there is none else;

⁶¹所以你们的心要完全归给耶和华我们的　神，遵行他的律例，谨守他的诫命，像今天一样。”

⁶¹and your heart hath been perfect with Jehovah our God, to walk in His statutes, and to keep His commands, as [at] this day.`

⁶²献殿礼的献祭（代下7:4-10）王和所有与他在一起的以色列人都在耶和华面前献祭。

⁶²And the king and all Israel with him are sacrificing a sacrifice before Jehovah;

⁶³所罗门向耶和华献平安祭，牛二万二千头，羊十二万只；这样，王和以色列众人为耶和华的殿举行了奉献典礼。

⁶³and Solomon sacrificeth the sacrifice of peace-offerings, which he hath sacrificed to Jehovah, oxen, twenty and two thousand, and sheep, a hundred and twenty thousand; and the king and all the sons of Israel dedicate the house of Jehovah.

⁶⁴那一天，因为耶和华面前的铜祭坛太小，容不下燔祭、素祭和平安祭牲的脂肪，王就把耶和华殿前院子当中的地方分别为圣，在那里献燔祭、素祭和平安祭牲的脂肪。

⁶⁴On that day hath the king sanctified the middle of the court that [is] before the house of Jehovah, for he hath made there the burnt-offering, and the present, and the fat of the peace-offerings; for the altar of brass that [is] before Jehovah [is] too little to contain the burnt-offering, and the present, and the fat of the peace-offerings.

⁶⁵那时所罗门与从哈马口直到埃及小河的以色列人，都在耶和华我们的　神面前举行盛大的集会，守节七天，又七天，一共十四天。

⁶⁵And Solomon maketh, at that time, the festival — and all Israel with him, a great assembly from the entering in of Hamath unto the brook of Egypt — before Jehovah our God, seven days and seven days; fourteen days.

⁶⁶到了第八天，王遣散了众人；众人都祝福过王以后，就高高兴兴地回自己的家去。他们因为看见耶和华向他仆人大卫和他子民以色列所施的一切恩惠，心中都感到欢喜。

⁶⁶On the eighth day he hath sent the people away, and they bless the king, and go to their tents, rejoicing and glad of heart for all the good that Jehovah hath done to David His servant, and to Israel His people.
