¹Then 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.

¹運約櫃進殿（代下5:2~6:2）那時，所羅門把以色列的長老、各支派的首領和以色列的族長，都召集到耶路撒冷自己面前，要把耶和華的約櫃從大衛城，就是錫安運上來。

²And all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto king Solomon at the feast in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month.

²於是，在以他念月，就是七月，在守節期的時候，以色列眾人都聚集到所羅門王那裡。

³And all the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark.

³以色列的眾長老都來到了，祭司們就把約櫃抬起來。

⁴And 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.

⁴祭司和利未人把耶和華的約櫃、會幕和會幕裡的一切聖器具都運上來。

⁵And 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.

⁵所羅門王和聚集到他那裡的以色列全體會眾，都一同在約櫃前獻牛羊為祭，數目多得不可勝數，無法計算。

⁶And 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 cherubim.

⁶祭司把耶和華的約櫃抬進內殿為它預備的地方，就是至聖所，放在兩個基路伯的翅膀底下。

⁷For the cherubim spread forth their two wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and the staves thereof above.

⁷因為基路伯展開翅膀在約櫃所在地的上面，遮掩約櫃和抬櫃的槓。

⁸And 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.

⁸這些槓很長，在內殿前的聖所可以看見槓頭，在殿外卻看不見；直到今日，這些槓還在那裡。

⁹There 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.

⁹約櫃裡面只有兩塊石版，這兩塊石版在以色列人出埃及地以後，耶和華與他們立約的時候，摩西在何烈山放在那裡的。

¹⁰And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the LORD,

¹⁰祭司從聖所裡出來的時候，有雲彩充滿耶和華的殿，

¹¹So 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.

¹¹因為雲彩的緣故，祭司不能站立服事，因為耶和華的榮光充滿了聖殿。

¹²Then spake Solomon, The LORD said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.

¹²那時，所羅門說：“耶和華曾說，他要住在密雲中。

¹³I have surely built thee an house to dwell in, a settled place for thee to abide in for ever.

¹³現在我果然為你建造了一座巍峨的殿，作你永遠的居所。”

¹⁴And the king turned his face about, and blessed all the congregation of Israel: (and all the congregation of Israel stood;)

¹⁴所羅門宣告建殿的理由（代下6:3~11）於是王把臉轉過來，為全體以色列會眾祝福，全體以色列會眾都站著。

¹⁵And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, which spake with his mouth unto David my father, and hath with his hand fulfilled it, saying,

¹⁵所羅門說：“耶和華以色列的　神是應當稱頌的，因為他親口對我父親大衛應許過的，現在他親手成全了。他說：

¹⁶Since 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.

¹⁶‘自從我把我的子民以色列領出埃及的日子以來，我未曾在以色列的各支派中揀選一座城，建造殿宇，作我名的居所；但我揀選了大衛治理我的子民以色列。’

¹⁷And it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.

¹⁷我父大衛心裡有意要為耶和華以色列的　神的名建殿。

¹⁸And the LORD said unto David my father, Whereas it was in thine heart to build an house unto my name, thou didst well that it was in thine heart.

¹⁸但耶和華對我父大衛說：‘你心裡有意為我的名建一座殿，你這心意是好的。

¹⁹Nevertheless thou shalt not build the house; but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house unto my name.

¹⁹然而你不要建造這殿，只有你親生的兒子，他必為我的名建造這殿。’

²⁰And the LORD hath performed his word that he spake, 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.

²⁰現在耶和華已經實現了他說過的話，我已經起來繼承我父大衛，坐在以色列的王位上，正如耶和華所說過的。我也已經為耶和華以色列的　神的名建造了這殿。

²¹And 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.

²¹我又為約櫃預備了一個地方。這約櫃裡有耶和華的約，就是他領我們列祖出埃及地的時候與他們所立的。”

²²And Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven:

²²所羅門獻殿的禱告（代下6:12~42）所羅門當著以色列的全體會眾，站在耶和華的祭壇前，向天伸開雙手，

²³And he said, LORD God of Israel, there is no God like thee, in heaven above, or on earth beneath, who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants that walk before thee with all their heart:

²³禱告說：“耶和華以色列的　神啊，天上地下沒有別的神像你；你對一心在你面前行事為人的僕人守約施慈愛。

²⁴Who hast kept with thy servant David my father that thou promisedst him: thou spakest also with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it with thine hand, as it is this day.

²⁴你謹守了你應許過你僕人我父大衛的話。你親口說過，也親手作成，正如今天一樣。

²⁵Therefore now, LORD God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that thou promisedst him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel; so that thy children take heed to their way, that they walk before me as thou hast walked before me.

²⁵耶和華以色列的　神啊，現在求你謹守你應許你僕人我父親大衛的話：‘只要你的子孫謹守他們的行為，像你在我面前所行的一樣，就必不斷有人坐以色列的王位。’

²⁶And now, O God of Israel, let thy word, I pray thee, be verified, which thou spakest unto thy servant David my father.

²⁶以色列的　神啊，現在求你成就你應許你僕人我父大衛的話吧！

²⁷But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have builded?

²⁷“　神真的住在地上嗎？看哪！天和天上的天尚且不能容納你，何況我建造的這殿呢？

²⁸Yet have thou respect unto the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O LORD my God, to hearken unto the cry and to the prayer, which thy servant prayeth before thee to day:

²⁸然而耶和華我的　神啊，求你垂顧你僕人的禱告和懇求，垂聽你僕人今天在你面前所作的呼籲和禱告。

²⁹That thine eyes may be open toward this house night and day, even toward the place of which thou hast said, My name shall be there: that thou mayest hearken unto the prayer which thy servant shall make toward this place.

²⁹願你的眼睛晝夜看顧這殿，看顧你所說‘我的名要留在那裡’的地方。願你垂聽你僕人向這地方所發的禱告。

³⁰And hearken thou to the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place: and hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place: and when thou hearest, forgive.

³⁰你僕人和你的子民以色列向這地方禱告的時候，求你垂聽他們的懇求。求你在天上的居所垂聽，垂聽而赦免。

³¹If any man trespass against his neighbor, and an oath be laid upon him to cause him to swear, and the oath come before thine altar in this house:

³¹“如果有人得罪他的鄰居被迫起誓，他來到這殿在你的祭壇前起誓的時候，

³²Then hear thou in heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, condemning the wicked, to bring his way upon his head; and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.

³²求你在天上垂聽，採取行動，審判你的僕人，定惡人有罪，使他所行的，都歸到他自己的頭上。定義人有理，照著他的公義賞賜他。

³³When thy people Israel be smitten down before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee, and shall turn again to thee, and confess thy name, and pray, and make supplication unto thee in this house:

³³“你的子民以色列若是得罪了你，以致在仇敵面前被打敗，又回轉歸向你，承認你的名，在這殿裡向你禱告懇求的時候，

³⁴Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again unto the land which thou gavest unto their fathers.

³⁴求你在天上垂聽，赦免你的子民以色列的罪，領他們返回你賜給他們列祖之地。

³⁵When heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee; if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, when thou afflictest them:

³⁵“如果他們因為得罪了你，天就閉塞不下雨；他們若是向這地方禱告，承認你的名；又因你苦待他們，就離開他們的罪，

³⁶Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, that thou teach them the good way wherein they should walk, and give rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy people for an inheritance.

³⁶求你在天上垂聽，赦免你僕人和你的子民以色列的罪，指示他們當行的善道，賜雨水在你的地上，就是你賜給你子民的產業之地。

³⁷If 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;

³⁷“如果這地有饑荒、瘟疫、旱風、霉爛、蝗蟲、螞蚱，或有仇敵把他們圍困在城裡，無論遭遇甚麼災禍，甚麼疾病，

³⁸What prayer and supplication soever be made by any man, or by all thy people Israel, which shall know every man the plague of his own heart, and spread forth his hands toward this house:

³⁸你的子民以色列，或是眾人，或是個人，知道自己心裡的苦痛，向這殿伸開雙手所作的一切禱告、一切懇求，

³⁹Then hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and do, and give to every man according to his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou, even thou only, knowest the hearts of all the children of men;)

³⁹求你在天上你的居所垂聽而赦免，並且採取行動。你是知道人心的，只有你知道萬人的心，求你照著各人所行的報應他，

⁴⁰That they may fear thee all the days that they live in the land which thou gavest unto our fathers.

⁴⁰好使他們在你賜給我們列祖的地上，一生一世敬畏你。

⁴¹Moreover concerning a stranger, that is not of thy people Israel, but cometh out of a far country for thy name's sake;

⁴¹“至於不屬於你的子民以色列的外族人，為了你的名的緣故從遠地而來，

⁴²(For they shall hear of thy great name, and of thy strong hand, and of thy stretched out arm;) when he shall come and pray toward this house;

⁴²因為他們聽到你的大名、大能的手和伸出來的膀臂，他們來向這殿禱告的時候，

⁴³Hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for: that all people of the earth may know thy name, to fear thee, as do thy people Israel; and that they may know that this house, which I have builded, is called by thy name.

⁴³求你在天上你的居所垂聽，照著外族人向你呼求的一切而行，好使地上的萬族萬民都認識你的名，敬畏你，像你的子民以色列一樣；又使他們知道我建造的這殿是稱為你的名下的。

⁴⁴If thy people go out to battle against their enemy, whithersoever thou shalt send them, and shall pray unto the LORD toward the city which thou hast chosen, and toward the house that I have built for thy name:

⁴⁴“如果你的子民出去與仇敵爭戰，無論你派他們到哪處，他們若是向你所揀選的這城，並向我為你的名建造的這殿禱告，

⁴⁵Then hear thou in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.

⁴⁵求你在天上垂聽他們的禱告和懇求，為他們主持公道。

⁴⁶If they sin against thee, (for there is no man that sinneth not,) and thou 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;

⁴⁶“如果你的子民得罪了你（沒有不犯罪的世人），你向他們發怒，把他們交給仇敵，以致仇敵把他們擄到仇敵的地方，或是遠或是近，

⁴⁷Yet if they shall bethink themselves in the land whither they were carried captives, and repent, and make supplication unto thee in the land of them that carried them captives, saying, We have sinned, and have done perversely, we have committed wickedness;

⁴⁷在被擄的地方，他們若是回心轉意，在他們被擄去之地回轉，向你祈求，說：‘我們犯了罪了；我們犯了過了，我們作了惡事。’

⁴⁸And so return unto thee with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their enemies, which led them away captive, and pray unto thee toward their land, which thou gavest unto their fathers, the city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name:

⁴⁸如果他們在俘擄他們的仇敵的地方，一心一意回轉歸向你，又向著你賜給他們列祖的地方，向你所揀選的這城，和我為你的名建造的這殿禱告，

⁴⁹Then hear thou their prayer and their supplication in heaven thy dwelling place, and maintain their cause,

⁴⁹求你在天上你的居所垂聽他們的禱告和懇求，為他們主持公道。

⁵⁰And forgive thy people that have sinned against thee, and all their transgressions wherein they have transgressed against thee, and give them compassion before them who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them:

⁵⁰赦免得罪了你的子民，又赦免他們冒犯你的一切過犯，使他們在擄他們的人面前蒙憐憫。

⁵¹For they be thy people, and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron:

⁵¹因為他們是你的子民、你的產業，是你從埃及、從鐵爐中領出來的。

⁵²That thine eyes may be open unto the supplication of thy servant, and unto the supplication of thy people Israel, to hearken unto them in all that they call for unto thee.

⁵²願你睜開眼睛看顧你僕人的祈求，和你的子民以色列的祈求，他們向你呼求的，願你都垂聽。

⁵³For thou didst separate them from among all the people of the earth, to be thine inheritance, as thou spakest by the hand of Moses thy servant, when thou broughtest our fathers out of Egypt, O LORD God.

⁵³主耶和華啊！因為你已經把他們從地上萬族萬民中分別出來，作自己的產業，正如你領我們的列祖出埃及的時候，藉著你的僕人摩西所應許的。”

⁵⁴And 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.

⁵⁴所羅門為人民祝福所羅門在耶和華的祭壇前屈膝下跪，向天伸開雙手，向耶和華獻完了這一切禱告和懇求以後，就起來，

⁵⁵And he stood, and blessed all the congregation of Israel with a loud voice, saying,

⁵⁵站著，大聲給以色列的全體會眾祝福，說：

⁵⁶Blessed be the LORD, that hath given rest unto his people Israel, according to all that he promised: there hath not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by the hand of Moses his servant.

⁵⁶“耶和華是應當稱頌的。他照著自己一切所應許的，賜安息給他的子民以色列人。藉著他的僕人摩西所應許一切美好的話，一句都沒有落空。

⁵⁷The LORD our God be with us, as he was with our fathers: let him not leave us, nor forsake us:

⁵⁷願耶和華我們的　神與我們同在，像與我們的列祖同在一樣。願他不離棄我們，也不撇下我們。

⁵⁸That 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.

⁵⁸願他使我們的心歸向他，遵行他的一切道，謹守他吩咐我們列祖的誡命、律例和典章。

⁵⁹And 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:

⁵⁹願我在耶和華面前懇求的這些話，晝夜都不離耶和華我們的　神，好使他天天為他僕人和他的子民以色列人主持公道，

⁶⁰That all the people of the earth may know that the LORD is God, and that there is none else.

⁶⁰使地上萬族萬民都知道耶和華是　神，除他以外沒有別的神。

⁶¹Let your heart therefore be perfect with the LORD our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day.

⁶¹所以你們的心要完全歸給耶和華我們的　神，遵行他的律例，謹守他的誡命，像今天一樣。”

⁶²And the king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifice before the LORD.

⁶²獻殿禮的獻祭（代下7:4~10）王和所有與他在一起的以色列人都在耶和華面前獻祭。

⁶³And 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.

⁶³所羅門向耶和華獻平安祭，牛二萬二千頭，羊十二萬隻；這樣，王和以色列眾人為耶和華的殿舉行了奉獻典禮。

⁶⁴The 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 meat 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 meat offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings.

⁶⁴那一天，因為耶和華面前的銅祭壇太小，容不下燔祭、素祭和平安祭牲的脂肪，王就把耶和華殿前院子當中的地方分別為聖，在那裡獻燔祭、素祭和平安祭牲的脂肪。

⁶⁵And 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.

⁶⁵那時所羅門與從哈馬口直到埃及小河的以色列人，都在耶和華我們的　神面前舉行盛大的集會，守節七天，又七天，一共十四天。

⁶⁶On 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.

⁶⁶到了第八天，王遣散了眾人；眾人都祝福過王以後，就高高興興地回自己的家去。他們因為看見耶和華向他僕人大衛和他子民以色列所施的一切恩惠，心中都感到歡喜。
