列王紀上 8
1 [迎約櫃入聖殿]那時，撒羅滿召集以色列眾長老，各支派的首領和以色列子民各家族族長，都到耶路撒冷，為將上主的約櫃從達味城，即熙雍運上來。
Thanne alle the gretter men in birthe in Israel, with the princes of lynagis, and the duykis of meynees of the sones of Israel, weren gaderid to kyng Salomon, in to Jerusalem, that thei schulden bere the arke of boond of pees of the Lord fro the citee of Dauid, that is, fro Syon.
2 以色列全體民眾於是在「厄塔寧」月，即第七月的慶節期中，聚集在撒羅滿王那裏。
And al Israel cam to gidere in the moneth Bethanym, in the solempne dai; thilke is the seuenthe moneth.
3 以色列所有的長老來到後，司祭們便抬起約櫃，
And alle the elde men of Israel camen; and the preestis token the arke,
4 司祭和肋未人分別將上主的約櫃、會幕和帳幕中所有的聖器運了上來。
and baren the arke of the Lord, and the tabernacle of boond of pees, and alle vessels of the seyntuarye, that weren in the tabernacle; and the preestis and dekenes baren tho.
5 撒羅滿王和聚集在他那裏的以色列全會眾，在約櫃前祭殺了牛羊，多得無法計算，不可勝數。
Sotheli kyng Salomon, and al the multitude of Israel, that camen togidere to hym, yede with hym bifor the arke; and thei offriden scheep and oxis, with out gessyng and noumbre.
6 司祭們將上主的約櫃抬到殿的內部，即至聖所內，放在革魯賓翅膀下早已預備的地方。
And prestis brouyten the arke of boond of pees of the Lord in to his place, in to Goddis answerynge place of the temple, in to the hooli of hooli thingis, vndur the wengis of cherubyns.
7 革魯賓的翅膀原是伸開的，正遮在約櫃的所在地之上，所以革魯賓在上面正遮著約櫃和抬約櫃的杠桿。
Forsothe cherubyns spredden forth wengis ouer the place of the arke; and hiliden the arke, and the barris therof aboue.
8 這杠桿很長，杠桿從內殿前的聖所可以看見，在殿外卻看不見；直到今天還在那裏。
And whanne the barris stoden forth, and the hiynesse of tho apperiden with out the seyntuarye, bifor `Goddis answerynge place, tho apperyden no ferther with outforth; whiche barris also weren there `til in to present day.
9 約櫃內除兩塊石版外，沒有別的東西，是以色列子民出埃及後，上主與他們立約時，梅瑟在曷勒布山放在裏面的。
Forsothe in the arke is noon other thing, no but twei tablis of stoon, whiche tablis Moyses in Oreb hadde put in the ark, whanne the Lord made boond of pees with the sones of Israel, whanne thei yeden out of the loond of Egipt.
10 當司祭從聖所出來時，雲彩充滿了上主的殿，
Forsothe it was doon whanne the preestis hadden go out of the seyntuarie, a cloude fillide the hows of the Lord;
11 以致為了雲彩，司祭們不能繼續奉職，因為上主的榮耀充滿了上主的殿。
and the preestis myyten not stonde and mynystre, for the cloude; for whi the glorye of the Lord hadde fillid the hows of the Lord.
12 當時，撒羅滿便說：「上主曾決定在幽暗之中，
Thanne Salomon seide, The Lord seide, that he wolde dwelle in a cloude.
13 如今我已為你建築了一個居所，作為你永久的住處」撒羅滿向百姓致辭
Y bildynge haue bildid an hows in to thi dwelling place, in to thi moost stidefast trone with outen ende.
14 然後，君王轉過身來，祝福在場站立的以色列全會眾，
And the kyng turnede his face, and blesside al the chirche in Israel; for al the chirche of Israel stood.
15 說「上主以色列的天主，應受讚美! 因為他親自完成了他親口對我父親達味所作的預許。他曾說過：
And Salomon seide, Blessid be the Lord God of Israel, that spak with his mouth to Dauid, my fadir, and performyde in hise hondis, and seide,
16 自從我領我的百姓以色列出離埃及的那天起，我從未在以色列各支派中選擇一城，建造一座作我名下的殿。但是現在，我選擇了耶路撒冷作我名的居所，揀選了達味作我百姓以色列的領袖。
Fro the dai in which Y ledde my puple Israel out of Egipt, Y chees not a citee of alle the lynagis of Israel, that an hows schulde be bildid, and my name schulde be there; but Y chees Dauid, that he schulde be ouer my puple Israel.
17 我父親達味原有意為上主以色列天主的名，建造一座殿宇，
And Dauid, my fadir, wolde bilde an hows to the name of the Lord God of Israel.
18 但上主卻對我父親達味說：你有意為我的名建造一座殿宇，你這番心意固然很好，
And the Lord seide to Dauid, my fadir, That thou thouytist in thin herte to bilde an hows to my name, thou didist wel, tretynge this same thing in soule;
19 但不是你要建造這殿宇，而是你親生的兒子，他要為我的名建造這殿宇。
netheles thou schalt not bilde an hows to me, but thi sone, that schal go out of thi reynes, he schal bilde an hows to my name.
20 現在，上主實現了他說的話，我已如上主所說的，繼承了我父親達味，坐上了以色列的寶座；我也為上主以色列天主的名，建造了這座殿宇，
The Lord hath confermyd his word, which he spak; and Y stood for Dauid, my fadir, and Y sat on the trone of Israel, as the Lord spak; and Y haue bildid an hows to the name of the Lord God of Israel.
21 在殿內我也為約櫃預備了一個地方，約櫃內存有上主的約版，就是他領我們的祖先出埃及時，與他們所立的約。」祈禱詞
And Y haue ordeyned there a place of the arke, in which arke the boond of pees of the Lord is, which he smoot with oure fadris, whanne thei yeden out of the lond of Egipt.
22 此後，撒羅滿當著以色列全會眾，立在上主的祭壇前，舉手向天，說：
Forsothe Salomon stood bifoor the auter of the Lord, in the siyt of the chirch of Israel; and he helde forth hise hondis ayens heuene,
23 「上主，以色列的天主! 上天下地沒有一個神能與你相比。你對那全心在你面前行走的僕人，常是守約表示慈愛。
and seide, Lord God of Israel, no God in heuene aboue, nether on erthe bynethe, is lijk thee, which kepist couenaunt and mercy to thi seruauntis, that goon bifor thee in al her herte;
24 你對你僕人我父親達味所應許的，你都履行了；你親口應允的，你也親手成就了，正如今天一樣。
and thou kepist to Dauid, my fadir, thi seruaunt, tho thingis whiche thou hast spoke to him; bi mouth thou hast spoke, and bi hondis thou hast fillid, as this day preueth.
25 上主，以色列的天主，現在求你實踐你向你的僕人，我的父親達味所應許的罷! 你曾說過：只要你的子孫固守正道，在我面前行走，如你一樣在我面前行走，你決不缺人在我面前坐以色列的寶座。
Now therfor, Lord God of Israel, kepe thou to thi seruaunt Dauid, my fadir, tho thingis whiche thou spakist to hym, and seidist, A man of thee schal not be taken awei bifor me, which man schal sitte on the trone of Israel, so netheles if thi sones kepen thi weye, that thei go bifor me, as thou yedist in my siyt.
26 上主，以色列的天主，現在求你，使你向你僕人我父親達味所應許的話，予以實現罷!
And now, Lord God of Israel, thi wordis be maad stidfast, whiche thou spakist to thi seruaunt Dauid, my fadir.
27 但是，天主實在住在地上嗎﹖看，天和天上的天尚且容不下你，何況我所建造的這座殿宇呢﹖
Therfor whether it is to gesse, that God dwellith verily on erthe; for if heuene, and heuene of heuenes moun not take thee, how myche more this hows, which Y bildid to thee, `mai not take thee.
28 上主，我的天主，請垂允你僕人的祈禱和懇求，俯聽你僕人今天在你面前所發的呼號和祈禱!
But, my Lord God, biholde thou to the preiere of thi seruaunt, and to the bisechyngis of hym; here thou the `ympne, ether preysing, and preiere, which thi seruaunt preieth bifor thee to day;
29 願你的眼睛晝夜垂視這座殿宇，看顧你所說「我的名要永留在此」的地方! 願你垂聽你僕人向這地方要行的祈禱!
that thin iyen be openyd on this hows bi niyt and dai, on the hows, of which thou seidist, My name schal be there; that thou here the preier, which thi seruaunt preieth to thee in this place; that thou here the bisechyng of thi seruaunt,
30 願你垂聽你僕人和百姓以色列向這地方所發的哀禱! 願你在天上，從你的居所予以垂聽! 請垂聽與寬恕!
and of thi puple Israel, what euer thing he preieth in this place, and here thou in the place of thi dwellyng in heuene; and whanne thou hast herd, thou schalt be mercyful.
31 若有人得罪了自己的鄰人，被迫以咒詞起誓，而來到這殿內，在你的祭壇前起誓，
If a man synneth ayens a man, and hath ony ooth, bi which he is holdun boundun, and cometh for the ooth in to thin hows, bifor thin auter, thou schalt here in heuene,
32 願你從天上垂聽受理，為你的僕人審斷：懲罰惡人，照他的惡行，報應在他的頭上；宣告義人無罪，照他的正義酬報他。
and thou schalt do, and thou schalt deme thi seruauntis; and thou schalt condempne the wickid man, and schalt yelde his weie on his heed, and thou schalt iustifie the iust man, and schalt yelde to hym vp his riytfulnesse.
33 當你的百姓以色列犯罪得罪了你，在敵人面前被擊敗時，如果他們回心轉意，稱頌你的名，在這殿內巷你祈禱懇求，
If thi puple Israel fleeth hise enemyes, for he schal do synne to thee, and thei doen penaunce, and knoulechen to thi greet name, and comen, and worschipen, and bisechen thee in this hows,
34 願你從天上予以垂聽，寬恕你百姓以色列的罪過，領他們回到你賜給他們祖先的地方!
here thou in heuene, and foryyue thou the synne of thi puple; and thou schalt lede hem ayen in to the lond, which thou hast youe to the fadris of hem.
35 幾時他們犯罪得罪了你，致使天空閉塞不雨；如果他們向這地方祈禱，稱頌你的名，並因你的懲罰而遠離罪過，
If heuene is closid, and reyneth not for the synnes of hem, and thei preyen in this place, and doen penaunce to thi name, and ben conuertid fro her synnes for her turment,
36 求你從天上垂聽，赦免你僕人和你百姓以色列的罪，指給他們應走的正路，使雨降在你賜予你百姓作為基業的地上。
here thou hem in heuene, and foryyue thou the synnes of thi seruauntis, and of thi puple Israel, and schewe thou to hem good weie, bi which thei schulen go, and yyue thou reyn to hem on the lond, which thou hast youe to hem in to possessioun.
37 如果此地發生饑饉瘟疫，五穀枯萎生霉，或遭受蝗蟲螞蚱，或有敵人犯境圍困門下，或不拘遭受什麼災禍疾病；
If hungur risith in the lond, ether pestilence is, ether corrupt eyr is, ether rust, ether locuste, ether myldew, and his enemy turmentith hym, and bisegith the yatis, al wounde, al sikenesse, al cursyng,
38 如果你的百姓以色列，個人或團體，心中感到內疚，向這殿伸手祈禱哀求，
and wichyng of yuel, that bifallith to ech man of thi puple Israel, if ony man knowith the wounde of his herte, and holdith forth hise hondis in this hows,
39 願你從天上你的居所，予以垂聽、寬恕、援助，照各人的作為予以賞罰，因為你認識人的心，─惟有你認識所有人子的心，─
thou schalt here in heuene, in the place of thi dwellyng, and thou schalt do mercy, and thou schalt do that thou yyue to ech man vpe alle hise weies, as thou seest his herte; for thou aloone knowist the herte of alle the sones of men,
40 使他們在你賜予我們祖先的地上，終生敬畏你。
that thei drede thee in alle daies in whiche thei lyuen on the face of the lond, which thou hast youe to oure fadrys.
41 至於那不屬於你百姓以色列的外方人，如為了你的大名自遠方而來，─
Ferthermore and whanne an alien, which is not of thi puple Israel, cometh fro a fer lond for thi name; for thi grete name, and thi strong hond,
42 因為他們聽見了你的大名，和你大能的手及伸開的手臂，─來向這殿祈禱，
and thin arm `holdun forth schal be herd euery where; therfor whanne he cometh, and preieth in this place,
43 願你從天上你的居所俯聽，照外方人所請求於你的一切去行：這樣可使地上萬民都認識你的名而敬畏你，如同你的百姓以色列一樣，使他們知道我所建造的這殿，是屬於你名下的。
thou schalt here in heuene, in the firmament of thi dwellyng place, and thou schalt do alle thingis, for whiche the alien clepith thee, that alle puplis of londis lerne to drede thi name, as thi puple Israel doith, and preue, that thi name is clepid on this hows, which Y bildide.
44 你的人民，如果在你派遣他們所走的路上，與敵人交戰，而他們向你所揀選的這城，向我為你名建造的這殿，祈求上主，
If thi puple goith out to batel ayens hise enemyes, bi the weie whidir euer thou sendist hem, thei schulen preye thee ayens the weie of the citee which thou hast chose, and ayens the hows which Y bildide to thi name,
45 願你從天上俯聽他們的祈禱和哀求，為他們住持正義。
and thou schalt here in heuene the preyeris of hem, and the bisechyngis of hem, and thou schalt make the doom of hem.
46 如果他們犯罪得罪了你，─因為沒有不犯罪的人，─而你向他們發怒，將他們交於敵人，讓敵人將他們擄到或遠或近的敵人地域內，
That if thei synnen to thee, for no man is that synneth not, and thou art wrooth, and bitakist hem to her enemyes, and thei ben led prisoneris in to the lond of enemyes,
47 他們若在被擄往的地方，回心轉意，在充軍之地，求你說：我們犯了罪，我們行了惡，做了背理的事；
fer ether nyy, and thei doon penaunce in her herte in the place of prisonyng, and ben conuertid, and bisechen in her prisonyng, and seien, We han synned, we han do wickidli, we han do vnfeithfuli;
48 如果他們在俘擄他們的敵人地域內，全心全意歸向你，向你賜給他們祖先的地方，向你所揀選的這城，和我為你名建造的這殿哀求你，
and thei turnen ayen to thee in al her herte and al her soule, in the lond of her enemyes, to which thei ben led prisoneris, and thei preyen thee ayens the weie of her lond which thou hast youe to her fadris, and of the citee which thou hast chose, and of the temple which Y bildide to thi name, thou schalt here in heuene,
49 願你從天上你的居所，俯聽他們的祈禱和懇求，並為他們主持正義，
in the firmament of thi seete, the preiers of hem, and the bisechingis of hem, and thou shalt make the doom of hem;
50 寬恕得罪你的百姓，寬恕他們違犯你的一切過犯，使他們在俘擄他們的敵人面前獲得憐憫，對他們表示同情，
and thou schalt be merciful to thi puple, that synnede to thee, and to alle the wickidnessis, bi whiche thei trespassiden ayens thee; and thou schalt do merci bifor tho men, that hadden hem prisoneris, that tho men do mercy to hem.
51 因為他們究竟是你的百姓，是你從埃及，由鎔鐵爐中領出來的產業。
For it is thi puple, and thin erytage, whiche thou leddist out of the lond of Egipt, fro the myddis of yrone furneis;
52 願你常睜眼垂顧你僕人的哀求，你百姓以色列的哀求，他們無論何時呼號你，願你都予以垂聽!
that thin yyen be opyn to the bisechyng of thi seruaunt, and of thi puple Israel; and thou schalt here hem in alle thingis, for whiche thei clepen thee.
53 我主上主，因為你曾將他們從地上的萬民中選拔出來，作你的產業，正如你在領我們祖先出離埃及時，藉你的僕人梅瑟所聲明的。」祝福詞
For thou hast departid hem to thee in to heritage fro alle the puplis of erthe, as thou spakist bi Moyses, thi seruaunt, whanne thou, Lord God, leddist oure fadris out of Egipt.
54 撒羅滿跪在上主的祭壇前，舉手向天，祈禱哀求上主完畢，就起來，
Forsothe it was don, whanne Salomon, preiynge the Lord, hadde fillid al this preier and bisechyng, he roos fro the siyt of the auter of the Lord; for he hadde set fast euer either kne to the erthe, and hadde holde forth the hondis to heuene.
55 立著，高聲祝福以色列全會眾說：「
Therfor he stood, and blesside al the chirche of Israel, and seide with greet vois,
56 上主應受讚美! 因為他照自己所應許的，使自己的百姓以色列獲得了安居；凡他藉著自己的僕人梅瑟所應許賜福的話，一句也沒有落空。
Blessid be the Lord God of Israel, that yaf reste to his puple Israel, bi alle thingis whiche he spak; a word felde not doun, sotheli nether oon, of alle goodis whiche he spak bi Moises, his seruaunt.
57 願上主我們的天主與我們同在，有如與我們的祖先同在一樣：不離開我們，也不拋棄我們。
Oure Lord God be with vs, as he was with oure fadris, and forsake not vs, nether caste awey;
58 願他使我們的心歸向他，履行他的一切道路，恪守他吩咐我們祖先的誡命、律例和典章。
but bowe he oure hertis to hym silf, that we go in alle hise weies, and kepe hise comaundementis, and cerymonyes, and domes, whiche euere he comaundide to oure fadris.
59 願我在上主面前所作的懇切禱詞，晝夜在上主我們的天主面前，好使他天天維護他僕人和他的百姓以色列，
And these wordis of me, bi whiche Y preiede bifor the Lord, be neiyynge to oure Lord God bi dai and niyt, that he make doom to his seruaunt, and to his puple Israel bi alle daies;
60 使地上萬民都知道：只有上主是天主，他以外沒有別的神。
and alle the puplis of erthe wite, that the Lord hym silf is God, and noon `is ouer `with out hym.
61 但願我們的心全歸於上主我們的天主，遵行他的律例，恪守他的誡命，如停今天一樣。」行奉獻禮
Also oure herte be perfit with oure Lord God, that we go in hise domes, and kepe hise comaundementis, as and to dai.
62 此後，君王和全以色列，一同在上主面前祭殺了犧牲。
Therfor the kyng, and al Israel with hym, offriden sacrifices bifor the Lord.
63 撒羅滿祭殺了牛兩萬二千頭，羊十二萬隻，獻於上主，作為和平祭；君王和全以色列子民，就這樣為上主的殿舉行了奉獻禮。
And Salomon killide pesible sacrifices, whiche he offride to the Lord; of oxis two and twenti thousynde, and of scheep sixe score thousynde; and the king and the sones of Israel halewiden the temple of the Lord.
64 當天，君王又祝聖了上主殿前的內院，在那裏奉獻了全燔祭、素祭與和平祭的脂油，因為上主面前的銅祭壇太小，容不下全燔祭、素祭及和平祭的脂油。
In that dai the kyng halewide the myddil of the greet street, that was bifor the hows of the Lord; for he made there brent sacrifice, and sacrifice, and the innere fatnesse of pesible thingis; for the brasun auter that was bifor the Lord, was to litil, and myyte not take the brent sacrifice, and the sacrifice, and the ynnere fatnesse of pesible thingis.
65 同時，撒羅滿有舉行了慶節，與從哈瑪特渡口到埃及小河的全以色列人，舉行了盛大集會，在上主我們的天主面前，舉行慶節七天【又七天，共十四天。】
Therfor Salomon made in that tyme a solempne feeste, and al Israel with hym, a grete multitude, fro the entryng of Emath `til to the stronde of Egipt, bifor oure Lord God, in seuene daies and seuene daies, that is, fourtene daies.
66 第八天，君王遣散了百姓；他們為君王祝福後，各自回了本家，對上主向他的僕人達味，他的百姓以色列，所施的種種恩寵，都非常高興歡喜。
And in the eiythe day he delyueryde the puplis, whiche blessiden the kyng, and yeden forth in to her tabernaclis, and weren glade and of ioyful herte on alle the goodis whiche God hadde do to Dauid, his seruaunt, and to Israel, his puple.
