2 Chronicles 7
1 When Solomon had finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices, and the glory of the LORD filled the temple.
所罗门祈祷已毕，就有火从天上降下来，烧尽燔祭和别的祭。耶和华的荣光充满了殿；
2 The priests were unable to enter the house of the LORD, because the glory of the LORD had filled it.
因耶和华的荣光充满了耶和华殿，所以祭司不能进殿。
3 When all the Israelites saw the fire coming down and the glory of the LORD above the temple, they bowed down on the pavement with their faces to the ground, and they worshiped and gave thanks to the LORD: “For He is good; His loving devotion endures forever.”
那火降下、耶和华的荣光在殿上的时候，以色列众人看见，就在铺石地俯伏叩拜，称谢耶和华说： 耶和华本为善， 他的慈爱永远长存！
4 Then the king and all the people offered sacrifices before the LORD.
王和众民在耶和华面前献祭。
5 And King Solomon offered a sacrifice of 22,000 oxen and 120,000 sheep. So the king and all the people dedicated the house of God.
所罗门王用牛二万二千，羊十二万献祭。这样，王和众民为 神的殿行奉献之礼。
6 The priests stood at their posts, as did the Levites with the musical instruments of the LORD, which King David had made for giving thanks to the LORD and with which David had offered praise, saying, “For His loving devotion endures forever.” Across from the Levites, the priests sounded trumpets, and all the Israelites were standing.
祭司侍立，各供其职；利未人也拿着耶和华的乐器，就是大卫王造出来、借利未人颂赞耶和华的。（他的慈爱永远长存！）祭司在众人面前吹号，以色列人都站立。
7 Then Solomon consecrated the middle of the courtyard in front of the house of the LORD, and there he offered the burnt offerings and the fat of the peace offerings, since the bronze altar he had made could not contain all these offerings.
所罗门因他所造的铜坛容不下燔祭、素祭，和脂油，便将耶和华殿前院子当中分别为圣，在那里献燔祭和平安祭牲的脂油。
8 So at that time Solomon and all Israel with him—a very great assembly of people from Lebo-hamath to the Brook of Egypt—kept the feast for seven days.
那时所罗门和以色列众人，就是从哈马口直到埃及小河，所有的以色列人都聚集成为大会，守节七日。
9 On the eighth day they held a solemn assembly, for the dedication of the altar had lasted seven days, and the feast seven days more.
第八日设立严肃会，行奉献坛的礼七日，守节七日。
10 On the twenty-third day of the seventh month, Solomon sent the people away to their homes, joyful and glad of heart for the good things that the LORD had done for David, for Solomon, and for His people Israel.
七月二十三日，王遣散众民；他们因见耶和华向大卫和所罗门与他民以色列所施的恩惠，就都心中喜乐，各归各家去了。
11 When Solomon had finished the house of the LORD and the royal palace, successfully carrying out all that was in his heart to do for the house of the LORD and for his own palace,
所罗门造成了耶和华殿和王宫；在耶和华殿和王宫凡他心中所要做的，都顺顺利利地做成了。
12 the LORD appeared to him at night and said to him: “I have heard your prayer and have chosen this place for Myself as a house of sacrifice.
夜间耶和华向所罗门显现，对他说：“我已听了你的祷告，也选择这地方作为祭祀我的殿宇。
13 If I close the sky so there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send a plague among My people,
我若使天闭塞不下雨，或使蝗虫吃这地的出产，或使瘟疫流行在我民中，
14 and if My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.
这称为我名下的子民，若是自卑、祷告，寻求我的面，转离他们的恶行，我必从天上垂听，赦免他们的罪，医治他们的地。
15 Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place.
我必睁眼看、侧耳听在此处所献的祷告。
16 For I have now chosen and consecrated this temple so that My Name may be there forever. My eyes and My heart will be there for all time.
现在我已选择这殿，分别为圣，使我的名永在其中，我的眼、我的心也必常在那里。
17 And as for you, if you walk before Me as your father David walked, doing all I have commanded you, and if you keep My statutes and ordinances,
你若在我面前效法你父大卫所行的，遵行我一切所吩咐你的，谨守我的律例典章，
18 then I will establish your royal throne, as I covenanted with your father David when I said, ‘You will never fail to have a man to rule over Israel.’
我就必坚固你的国位，正如我与你父大卫所立的约，说：‘你的子孙必不断人作以色列的王。’
19 But if you turn away and forsake the statutes and commandments I have set before you, and if you go off to serve and worship other gods,
“倘若你们转去丢弃我指示你们的律例诫命，去事奉敬拜别神，
20 then I will uproot Israel from the soil I have given them, and I will banish from My presence this temple I have sanctified for My Name. I will make it an object of scorn and ridicule among all the peoples.
我就必将以色列人从我赐给他们的地上拔出根来，并且我为己名所分别为圣的殿也必舍弃不顾，使他在万民中作笑谈，被讥诮。
21 And when this temple has become a heap of rubble, all who pass by it will be appalled and say, ‘Why has the LORD done such a thing to this land and to this temple?’
这殿虽然甚高，将来经过的人必惊讶说：‘耶和华为何向这地和这殿如此行呢？’
22 And others will answer, ‘Because they have forsaken the LORD, the God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and have embraced other gods, worshiping and serving them—because of this, He has brought all this disaster upon them.’”
人必回答说：‘是因此地的人离弃耶和华—他们列祖的 神，就是领他们出埃及地的 神，去亲近别神，敬拜事奉他，所以耶和华使这一切灾祸临到他们。’”
