歷代志下 6
1 那時，所羅門說： 耶和華曾說他必住在幽暗之處。
Thanne Salomon seide, The Lord bihiyte, that he wolde dwelle in derknesse;
2 但我已經建造殿宇作你的居所， 為你永遠的住處。
forsothe I haue bilde an hows to his name, that he schulde dwelle there with outen ende.
3 王轉臉為以色列會眾祝福，以色列會眾就都站立。
And Salomon turnede his face, and blesside al the multitude of Israel; for al the cumpeny stood ententif; and he seide,
4 所羅門說：「耶和華－以色列的上帝是應當稱頌的！因他親口向我父大衛所應許的，也親手成就了。
Blessid be the Lord God of Israel, for he fillide in werk that thing, that he spak to Dauid, my fadir, and seide,
5 他說：『自從我領我民出埃及地以來，我未曾在以色列眾支派中選擇一城建造殿宇為我名的居所，也未曾揀選一人作我民以色列的君；
Fro the dai in which Y ledde my puple out of the lond of Egipt, Y chees not a citee of alle the lynagis of Israel, that an hows schulde be bildid therynne to my name, nether Y chees ony other man, that he schulde be duyk on my puple Israel;
6 但選擇耶路撒冷為我名的居所，又揀選大衛治理我民以色列。』」
but Y chees Jerusalem, that my name be therynne, and Y chees Dauid, to ordeyne hym on my puple Israel.
7 所羅門說：「我父大衛曾立意要為耶和華－以色列上帝的名建殿，
And whanne it was of the wille of Dauid, my fadir, to bilde an hows to the name of the Lord God of Israel,
8 耶和華卻對我父大衛說：『你立意要為我的名建殿，這意思甚好；
the Lord seide to hym, For this was thi wille, `that thou woldist bilde an hows to my name, sotheli thou didist wel,
9 只是你不可建殿，惟你所生的兒子必為我名建殿。』
hauynge suche a wil, but thou schalt not bilde an hows to me; netheles the sone, that schal go out of thi leendis, he schal bilde an hows to my name.
10 「現在耶和華成就了他所應許的話，使我接續我父大衛坐以色列的國位，是照耶和華所說的，又為耶和華－以色列上帝的名建造了殿。
Therfor the Lord hath fillid his word, which he spak; and Y roos for Dauid, my fader, and Y sat on the trone of Israel, as the Lord spak, and Y bildide an hous to the name of the Lord God of Israel;
11 我將約櫃安置在其中，櫃內有耶和華的約，就是他與以色列人所立的約。」
and I haue put therynne the arke, in which is the couenaunt of the Lord, which he `couenauntide with the sones of Israel.
12 所羅門當着以色列會眾，站在耶和華的壇前，舉起手來，
Therfor Salomon stood bifor the auter of the Lord euene ayens al the multitude of Israel, and stretchide forth his hondis.
13 （所羅門曾造一個銅臺，長五肘，寬五肘，高三肘，放在院中）就站在臺上，當着以色列的會眾跪下，向天舉手，
For Salomon hadde maad a brasun foundement, and hadde set it in the myddis of the greet hows, and it hadde fyue cubitis of lengthe, and fyue of breede, and thre cubitis of heiythe, and he stood theron; and fro that tyme he knelide ayens al the multitude of Israel, and reiside the hondis in to heuene,
14 說：「耶和華－以色列的上帝啊，天上地下沒有神可比你的！你向那盡心行在你面前的僕人守約施慈愛；
and seide, Lord God of Israel, noon is lijk thee; `thou art God in heuene and in erthe, which kepist couenaunt and mercy with thi seruauntis, that goon bifor thee in al her herte;
15 向你僕人－我父大衛所應許的話現在應驗了。你親口應許，親手成就，正如今日一樣。
which hast youe to Dauid thi seruaunt, my fadir, what euer thingis thou hast spoke to hym, and thow hast fillid in werk tho thingis, whiche thou bihiytist bi mouth, as also present tyme preueth.
16 耶和華－以色列的上帝啊，你所應許你僕人－我父大衛的話說：『你的子孫若謹慎自己的行為，遵守我的律法，像你在我面前所行的一樣，就不斷人坐以色列的國位。』現在求你應驗這話。
Now therfor, Lord God of Israel, fille thou to thi seruaunt my fadir Dauid, what euer thingis thou hast spoke, seiynge, A man of thee schal not faile bifor me, that schal sitte on the trone of Israel; so netheles if thi sones kepen my weies, and goon in my lawe, as and thou hast go bifor me.
17 耶和華－以色列的上帝啊，求你成就向你僕人大衛所應許的話。
And now, Lord God of Israel, thi word be maad stidefast, which thou spakist to thi seruaunt Dauid.
18 「上帝果真與世人同住在地上嗎？看哪，天和天上的天尚且不足你居住的，何況我所建的這殿呢？
Therfor whether it is leueful, that the Lord dwelle with men on erthe? If heuene and the heuenes of heuenes `taken not thee, how myche more this hows, which Y haue bildid?
19 惟求耶和華－我的上帝垂顧僕人的禱告祈求，俯聽僕人在你面前的祈禱呼籲。
But herto oneli it is maad, that thou, my Lord God, biholde the preier of thi seruaunt, and the bisechyng of hym, and that thou here the preieris, whiche thi seruaunt schedith bifor thee;
20 願你晝夜看顧這殿，就是你應許立為你名的居所；求你垂聽僕人向此處禱告的話。
that thou opyne thin iyen on this hows bi dayes and nyytis, on the place in which thou bihiytist, that thi name schulde be clepid,
21 你僕人和你民以色列向此處祈禱的時候，求你從天上你的居所垂聽，垂聽而赦免。
and that thou woldist here the preier, which thi seruaunt preieth therynne. Here thou the preieris of thi seruaunt, and of thi puple Israel; who euer preieth in this place, here thou fro thi dwellyng place, that is, fro heuenes, and do thou merci.
22 「人若得罪鄰舍，有人叫他起誓，他來到這殿，在你的壇前起誓，
If ony man synneth ayens his neiybore, and cometh redi to swere ayens him, and byndith hym silf with cursyng bifor the auter in this hows,
23 求你從天上垂聽，判斷你的僕人，定惡人有罪，照他所行的報應在他頭上；定義人有理，照他的義賞賜他。
thou schalt here fro heuene, and schalt do the doom of thi seruauntis; so that thou yelde to the wickid man his weie in to his owne heed, and that thou venge the iust man, and yelde to hym after his riytfulnesse.
24 「你的民以色列若得罪你，敗在仇敵面前，又回心轉意承認你的名，在這殿裏向你祈求禱告，
If thi puple Israel is ouercomen of enemyes, for thei schulen do synne ayens thee, and if thei conuertid doen penaunce, and bisechen thi name, and preien in this place,
25 求你從天上垂聽，赦免你民以色列的罪，使他們歸回你賜給他們和他們列祖之地。
thou schalt here fro heuene, and do thou mercy to the synne of thi puple Israel, and brynge hem ayen `in to the lond, which thou hast youe to hem, and to `the fadris of hem.
26 「你的民因得罪你，你懲罰他們，使天閉塞不下雨，他們若向此處禱告，承認你的名，離開他們的罪，
If whanne heuene is closid, reyn come not doun for the synne of thi puple, and thei bisechen thee in this place, and knowlechen to thi name, and ben turned fro her synnes, whanne thou hast turmentid hem,
27 求你在天上垂聽，赦免你僕人和你民以色列的罪，將當行的善道指教他們，且降雨在你的地，就是你賜給你民為業之地。
here thou, Lord, fro heuene, and foryyue thou synnes to thi seruauntis, and to thi puple Israel, and teche thou hem a good weie, bi which thei schulen entre, and yyue thou reyn to the lond, which thou hast youe to thi puple to haue in possessioun.
28 「國中若有饑荒、瘟疫、旱風、霉爛、蝗蟲、螞蚱，或有仇敵犯境，圍困城邑，無論遭遇甚麼災禍疾病，
If hungur risith in the lond, and pestilence, and rust, and wynd distriynge cornes, and a locuste, and bruke cometh, and if enemyes bisegen the yatis of the citee, aftir that the cuntreis ben distried, and al veniaunce and sikenesse oppressith;
29 你的民以色列，或是眾人，或是一人，自覺災禍甚苦，向這殿舉手，無論祈求甚麼，禱告甚麼，
if ony of thi puple Israel bisechith, and knowith his veniaunce and sikenesse, and if he spredith abrood hise hondis in this hows,
30 求你從天上你的居所垂聽赦免。你是知道人心的，要照各人所行的待他們（惟有你知道世人的心），
thou schalt here fro heuene, that is, fro thin hiye dwellyng place, and do thou mercy, and yelde thou to ech man aftir hise weies, whiche thou knowist, that he hath in his herte; for thou aloone knowist the hertis of the sones of men;
31 使他們在你賜給我們列祖之地上一生一世敬畏你，遵行你的道。
that thei drede thee, and go in thi weies in alle daies, in which thei lyuen on the face of erthe, which thou hast youe to oure fadris.
32 「論到不屬你民以色列的外邦人，為你的大名和大能的手，並伸出來的膀臂，從遠方而來，向這殿禱告，
Also thou schalt here fro heuene, thi moost stidfast dwellyng place, a straunger, which is not of thi puple Israel, if he cometh fro a fer lond for thi greet name, and for thi stronge hond, and arm holdun forth, `and preye in this place;
33 求你從天上你的居所垂聽，照着外邦人所祈求的而行，使天下萬民都認識你的名，敬畏你，像你的民以色列一樣，又使他們知道我建造的這殿是稱為你名下的。
and thou schalt do alle thingis, for which thilke pilgrym `inwardli clepith thee, that alle the puplis of erthe knowe thi name, and drede thee, as thi puple Israel doith; and that thei knowe, that thi name is clepid on this hows, which Y haue bildid to thi name.
34 「你的民若奉你的差遣，無論往何處去與仇敵爭戰，向你所選擇的城與我為你名所建造的殿禱告，
If thi puple goith out to batel ayens hise aduersaries, bi the weie in which thou sendist hem, thei schulen worschipe thee ayens the weie in which this citee is, which thou hast chose, and the hows which Y bildide to thi name,
35 求你從天上垂聽他們的禱告祈求，使他們得勝。
that thou here fro heuene her preieris and bisechyng, and do veniaunce.
36 「你的民若得罪你（世上沒有不犯罪的人），你向他們發怒，將他們交給仇敵擄到或遠或近之地；
Forsothe if thei synnen ayens thee, for no man is that synneth not, and if thou art wrooth to hem, and bitakist hem to enemyes; and enemyes leden hem prisoneris in to a fer lond, ether certis which lond is nyy;
37 他們若在擄到之地想起罪來，回心轉意，懇求你說：『我們有罪了，我們悖逆了，我們作惡了』；
and if thei ben conuertid in her herte in the lond, to which thei ben led prisoneris, and thei don penaunce, and bisechen thee in the lond of her caitifte, and seien, We han synned, we han do wickidly, we diden vniustli;
38 他們若在擄到之地盡心盡性歸服你，又向自己的地，就是你賜給他們列祖之地和你所選擇的城，並我為你名所建造的殿禱告，
and if thei turnen ayen to thee in al her herte, and in al her soule, in the lond of her caitifte, to which thei ben led, thei schulen worschipe thee ayens the weie of her lond, which thou hast youe to the fadris of hem, and of the citee which thou hast chose, and of the hows which Y bildide to thi name; that thou here fro heuene,
39 求你從天上你的居所垂聽你民的禱告祈求，為他們伸冤，赦免他們的過犯。
that is, fro thi stidefast dwellyng place, the preieris of hem, and that thou make dom, and foryyue to thi puple, thouy `it be synful; for thou art my God;
40 「我的上帝啊，現在求你睜眼看，側耳聽在此處所獻的禱告。
Y biseche, be thin iyen openyd, and thin eeris be ententif to the preier which is maad in this place.
41 耶和華上帝啊，求你起來， 和你有能力的約櫃同入安息之所。 耶和華上帝啊，願你的祭司披上救恩； 願你的聖民蒙福歡樂。
Now therfor, Lord God, rise in to thi reste, thou and the arke of thi strengthe; Lord God, thi preestis be clothid with helthe, and thi hooli men be glad in goodis.
42 耶和華上帝啊，求你不要厭棄你的受膏者， 要記念向你僕人大衛所施的慈愛。」
Lord God, turne thou not a weie the face of thi crist; haue thou mynde on the mercyes of Dauid thi seruaunt.
