1Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers’ households of the children of Israel, to king Solomon in Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of Yahweh out of the city of David, which is Zion.
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。
2All the men of Israel assembled themselves to king Solomon at the feast, in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month.
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。
3All the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark.
3以色列的众长老都来到了，祭司们就把约柜抬起来。
4They brought up the ark of Yahweh, and the Tent of Meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the Tent; even these the priests and the Levites brought up.
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。
5King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, who were assembled to him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and cattle, that could not be counted nor numbered for multitude.
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。
6The priests brought in the ark of the covenant of Yahweh to its 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。
7For the cherubim spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and its poles above.
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。
8The poles were so long that the ends of the poles were seen from the holy place before the oracle; but they were not seen outside: and there they are to this day.
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。
9There was nothing in the ark except the two tables of stone which Moses put there at Horeb, when Yahweh made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.
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。
10It came to pass, when the priests had come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of Yahweh,
10祭司从圣所里出来的时候，有云彩充满耶和华的殿，
11so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud; for the glory of Yahweh filled the house of Yahweh.
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。
12Then Solomon said, “Yahweh has said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
12那时，所罗门说：“耶和华曾说，他要住在密云中。
13I have surely built you a house of habitation, a place for you to dwell in forever.”
13现在我果然为你建造了一座巍峨的殿，作你永远的居所。”
14The king turned his face about, and blessed all the assembly of Israel: and all the assembly of Israel stood.
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。
15He said, “Blessed is Yahweh, the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David your father, and has with his hand fulfilled it, saying,
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：
16‘Since the day that I brought my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house, that my name might be there; but I chose David to be over my people Israel.’
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。’
17“Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel.
17我父大卫心里有意要为耶和华以色列的 神的名建殿。
18But Yahweh said to David my father, ‘Whereas it was in your heart to build a house for my name, you did well that it was in your heart.
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。
19Nevertheless, you shall not build the house; but your son who shall come forth out of your body, he shall build the house for my name.’
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。’
20Yahweh has established his word that he spoke; for I have risen up in the place of David my father, and I sit on the throne of Israel, as Yahweh promised, and have built the house for the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel.
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。
21There I have set a place for the ark, in which is the covenant of Yahweh, which he made with our fathers, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.”
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。”
22Solomon stood before the altar of Yahweh in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven;
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，
23and he said, “Yahweh, the God of Israel, there is no God like you, in heaven above, or on earth beneath; who keep covenant and loving kindness with your servants, who walk before you with all their heart;
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。
24who have kept with your servant David my father that which you promised him. Yes, you spoke with your mouth, and have fulfilled it with your hand, as it is this day.
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。
25Now therefore, may Yahweh, the God of Israel, keep with your servant David my father that which you have promised him, saying, ‘There shall not fail you a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if only your children take heed to their way, to walk before me as you have walked before me.’
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。’
26“Now therefore, God of Israel, please let your word be verified, which you spoke to your servant David my father.
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！
27But will God in very deed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens can’t contain you; how much less this house that I have built!
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？
28Yet have respect for the prayer of your servant, and for his supplication, Yahweh my God, to listen to the cry and to the prayer which your servant prays before you this day;
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。
29that your eyes may be open toward this house night and day, even toward the place of which you have said, ‘My name shall be there;’ to listen to the prayer which your servant shall pray toward this place.
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。
30Listen to the supplication of your servant, and of your people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place. Yes, hear in heaven, your dwelling place; and when you hear, forgive.
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。
31“If a man sins against his neighbor, and an oath is laid on him to cause him to swear, and he comes and swear before your altar in this house;
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，
32then hear in heaven, and do, and judge your servants, condemning the wicked, to bring his way on his own head, and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.
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。
33“When your people Israel are struck down before the enemy, because they have sinned against you; if they turn again to you, and confess your name, and pray and make supplication to you in this house:
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，
34then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of your people Israel, and bring them again to the land which you gave to their fathers.
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。
35“When the sky is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against you; if they pray toward this place, and confess your name, and turn from their sin, when you afflict them:
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，
36then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of your servants, and of your people Israel, when you teach them the good way in which they should walk; and send rain on your land, which you have given to your people for an inheritance.
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。
37“If there is famine in the land, if there is pestilence, if there is blight, mildew, locust or caterpillar; if their enemy besieges them in the land of their cities; whatever plague, whatever sickness there is;
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，
38whatever prayer and supplication is made by any man, or by all your people Israel, who shall each know the plague of his own heart, and spread forth his hands toward this house:
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，
39then hear in heaven, your dwelling place, and forgive, and do, and render to every man according to all his ways, whose heart you know; (for you, even you only, know the hearts of all the children of men;)
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，
40that they may fear you all the days that they live in the land which you gave to our fathers.
40好使他们在你赐给我们列祖的地上，一生一世敬畏你。
41“Moreover concerning the foreigner, who is not of your people Israel, when he shall come out of a far country for your name’s sake
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，
42(for they shall hear of your great name, and of your mighty hand, and of your outstretched arm); when he shall come and pray toward this house;
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，
43hear in heaven, your dwelling place, and do according to all that the foreigner calls to you for; that all the peoples of the earth may know your name, to fear you, as do your people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by your name.
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。
44“If your people go out to battle against their enemy, by whatever way you shall send them, and they pray to Yahweh toward the city which you have chosen, and toward the house which I have built for your name;
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，
45then hear in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.
45求你在天上垂听他们的祷告和恳求，为他们主持公道。
46If they sin against you (for there is no man who doesn’t sin), and you are angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captive to the land of the enemy, far off or near;
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，
47yet if they shall repent in the land where they are carried captive, and turn again, and make supplication to you in the land of those who carried them captive, saying, ‘We have sinned, and have done perversely; we have dealt wickedly;’
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。’
48if they return to you with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their enemies, who carried them captive, and pray to you toward their land, which you gave to their fathers, the city which you have chosen, and the house which I have built for your name:
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，
49then hear their prayer and their supplication in heaven, your dwelling place, and maintain their cause;
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。
50and forgive your people who have sinned against you, and all their transgressions in which they have transgressed against you; and give them compassion before those who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them
50赦免得罪了你的子民，又赦免他们冒犯你的一切过犯，使他们在掳他们的人面前蒙怜悯。
51(for they are your people, and your inheritance, which you brought out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron);
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。
52that your eyes may be open to the supplication of your servant, and to the supplication of your people Israel, to listen to them whenever they cry to you.
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。
53For you separated them from among all the peoples of the earth, to be your inheritance, as you spoke by Moses your servant, when you brought our fathers out of Egypt, Lord Yahweh.”
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。”
54It was so, that when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication to Yahweh, he arose from before the altar of Yahweh, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread forth toward heaven.
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，
55He stood, and blessed all the assembly of Israel with a loud voice, saying,
55站着，大声给以色列的全体会众祝福，说：
56“Blessed be Yahweh, who has given rest to his people Israel, according to all that he promised. There has not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by Moses his servant.
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。
57May Yahweh our God be with us, as he was with our fathers. Let him not leave us, nor forsake us;
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。
58that he may incline our hearts to him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and his statutes, and his ordinances, which he commanded our fathers.
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。
59Let these my words, with which I have made supplication before Yahweh, be near to Yahweh our God day and night, that he may maintain the cause of his servant, and the cause of his people Israel, as every day shall require;
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，
60that all the peoples of the earth may know that Yahweh, he is God. There is none else.
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。
61“Let your heart therefore be perfect with Yahweh our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day.”
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。”
62The king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifice before Yahweh.
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。
63Solomon offered for the sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered to Yahweh, two and twenty thousand head of cattle, and one hundred twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the house of Yahweh.
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。
64The same day the king made the middle of the court holy that was before the house of Yahweh; for there he offered the burnt offering, and the meal offering, and the fat of the peace offerings, because the bronze altar that was before Yahweh was too little to receive the burnt offering, and the meal offering, and the fat of the peace offerings.
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。
65So Solomon held the feast at that time, and all Israel with him, a great assembly, from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of Egypt, before Yahweh our God, seven days and seven days, even fourteen days.
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。
66On the eighth day he sent the people away; and they blessed the king, and went to their tents joyful and glad of heart for all the goodness that Yahweh had shown to David his servant, and to Israel his people.
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。
