1 Kings 8

1 Then Solomon sent for all the responsible men of Israel, and all the chiefs of the tribes, and the heads of families of the children of Israel, to come to him in Jerusalem to take the ark of the Lord's agreement up out of the town of David, which is Zion.

Pada waktu itu raja Salomo menyuruh para tua-tua Israel dan semua kepala suku, yakni para pemimpin puak orang Israel, berkumpul di hadapannya di Yerusalem, untuk mengangkut tabut perjanjian TUHAN dari kota Daud, yaitu Sion.

2 And all the men of Israel came together to King Solomon at the feast, in the month Ethanim, the seventh month.

Maka pada hari raya di bulan Etanim, yakni bulan ketujuh, berkumpullah di hadapan raja Salomo semua orang Israel.

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

Setelah semua tua-tua Israel datang, maka imam-imam mengangkat tabut itu.

4 They took up the ark of the Lord, and the Tent of meeting, and all the holy vessels which were in the Tent; all these the priests and the Levites took up.

Mereka mengangkut tabut TUHAN dan Kemah Pertemuan dan segala barang kudus yang ada dalam kemah itu; semuanya itu diangkut oleh imam-imam dan orang-orang Lewi.

5 And King Solomon and all the men of Israel who had come together there, were with him before the ark, making offerings of sheep and oxen more than might be numbered.

Tetapi raja Salomo dan segenap umat Israel yang sudah berkumpul di hadapannya, berdiri bersama-sama dengan dia di depan tabut itu, dan mempersembahkan kambing domba dan lembu sapi yang tidak terhitung dan tidak terbilang banyaknya.

6 And the priests took the ark of the agreement of the Lord and put it in its place in the inner room of the house, in the most holy place, under the wings of the winged ones.

Kemudian imam-imam membawa tabut perjanjian TUHAN itu ke tempatnya, di ruang belakang rumah itu, di tempat maha kudus, tepat di bawah sayap kerub-kerub;

7 For their wings were outstretched over the place where the ark was, covering the ark and its rods.

sebab kerub-kerub itu mengembangkan kedua sayapnya di atas tempat tabut itu, sehingga kerub-kerub itu menudungi tabut serta kayu-kayu pengusungnya dari atas.

8 The rods were so long that their ends were seen from the holy place, in front of the inmost room; but they were not seen from outside: and there they are to this day.

Kayu-kayu pengusung itu demikian panjangnya, sehingga ujungnya kelihatan dari tempat kudus, yang di depan ruang belakang itu, tetapi tidak kelihatan dari luar; dan di situlah tempatnya sampai hari ini.

9 There was nothing in the ark but the two flat stones which Moses put there at Horeb, where the Lord made an agreement with the children of Israel when they came out of the land of Egypt.

Dalam tabut itu tidak ada apa-apa selain dari kedua loh batu yang diletakkan Musa ke dalamnya di gunung Horeb, yakni loh-loh batu bertuliskan perjanjian yang diadakan TUHAN dengan orang Israel pada waktu perjalanan mereka keluar dari tanah Mesir.

10 Now when the priests had come out of the holy place, the house of the Lord was full of the cloud,

Ketika imam-imam keluar dari tempat kudus, datanglah awan memenuhi rumah TUHAN,

11 So that the priests were not able to keep their places to do their work because of the cloud, for the house of the Lord was full of the glory of the Lord.

sehingga imam-imam tidak tahan berdiri untuk menyelenggarakan kebaktian oleh karena awan itu, sebab kemuliaan TUHAN memenuhi rumah TUHAN.

12 Then Solomon said, O Lord, to the sun you have given the heaven for a living-place, but your living-place was not seen by men;

Pada waktu itu berkatalah Salomo: "TUHAN telah menetapkan matahari di langit, tetapi Ia memutuskan untuk diam dalam kekelaman.

13 So I have made for you a living-place, a house in which you may be for ever present.

Sekarang, aku telah mendirikan rumah kediaman bagi-Mu, tempat Engkau menetap selama-lamanya."

14 Then, turning his face about, the king gave a blessing to all the men of Israel; and they were all on their feet together.

Kemudian berpalinglah raja lalu memberkati seluruh jemaah Israel, sedang segenap jemaah Israel berdiri.

15 And he said, Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, who himself gave his word to David my father, and with his strong hand has made his word come true, saying,

Ia berkata: "Terpujilah TUHAN, Allah Israel, yang telah menyelesaikan dengan tangan-Nya apa yang difirmankan-Nya dengan mulut-Nya kepada Daud, ayahku, demikian:

16 From the day when I took my people Israel out of Egypt, no town in all the tribes of Israel has been marked out by me for the building of a house for the resting-place of my name; but I made selection of David to be king over my people Israel.

Sejak Aku membawa umat-Ku Israel keluar dari Mesir, tidak ada kota yang Kupilih di antara segala suku Israel untuk mendirikan rumah di sana sebagai tempat kediaman nama-Ku, tetapi Aku telah memilih Daud untuk berkuasa atas umat-Ku Israel."

17 Now it was in the heart of David my father to put up a house for the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.

Lalu raja melanjutkan: "Ketika Daud, ayahku bermaksud mendirikan rumah untuk nama TUHAN, Allah Israel,

18 But the Lord said to David my father, You did well to have in your heart the desire to make a house for my name;

berfirmanlah TUHAN kepadanya: Engkau bermaksud mendirikan rumah untuk nama-Ku, dan maksudmu itu memanglah baik;

19 But you yourself will not be the builder of my house; but your son, the offspring of your body, he it is who will put up a house for my name.

hanya, bukanlah engkau yang akan mendirikan rumah itu, melainkan anak kandungmu yang akan lahir kelak, dialah yang akan mendirikan rumah itu untuk nama-Ku.

20 And the Lord has made his word come true; for I have taken my father David's place on the seat of the kingdom of Israel, as the Lord gave his word; and I have made a house for the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.

Jadi TUHAN telah menepati janji yang telah diucapkan-Nya; aku telah bangkit menggantikan Daud, ayahku, dan telah duduk di atas takhta kerajaan Israel, seperti yang difirmankan TUHAN: aku telah mendirikan rumah ini untuk nama TUHAN, Allah Israel,

21 In it I have made a place for the ark, in which is the agreement which the Lord made with our fathers, when he took them out of the land of Egypt.

dan telah menyediakan di sana tempat untuk tabut, yang memuat perjanjian yang telah diadakan TUHAN dengan nenek moyang kita, ketika mereka dibawa-Nya keluar dari tanah Mesir."

22 Then Solomon took his place before the altar of the Lord, all the men of Israel being present, and stretching out his hands to heaven,

Kemudian berdirilah Salomo di depan mezbah TUHAN di hadapan segenap jemaah Israel, ditadahkannyalah tangannya ke langit,

23 Said, O Lord, the God of Israel, there is no God like you in heaven or on the earth; keeping faith and mercy unchanging for your servants, while they go in your ways with all their hearts.

lalu berkata: "Ya TUHAN, Allah Israel! Tidak ada Allah seperti Engkau di langit di atas dan di bumi di bawah; Engkau yang memelihara perjanjian dan kasih setia kepada hamba-hamba-Mu yang dengan segenap hatinya hidup di hadapan-Mu;

24 And you have kept the word which you gave to your servant David, my father; with your mouth you said it and with your hand you have made it come true this day.

Engkau yang tetap berpegang pada janji-Mu terhadap hamba-Mu Daud, ayahku, dan yang telah menggenapi dengan tangan-Mu apa yang Kaufirmankan dengan mulut-Mu, seperti yang terjadi pada hari ini.

25 So now, O Lord, the God of Israel, let your word to your servant David, my father, come true, when you said, You will never be without a man to take his place on the seat of the kingdom of Israel before me, if only your children give attention to their ways, walking before me as you have done.

Maka sekarang, ya TUHAN, Allah Israel, peliharalah apa yang Kaujanjikan kepada hamba-Mu Daud, ayahku, dengan berkata: Keturunanmu takkan terputus di hadapan-Ku dan tetap akan duduk di atas takhta kerajaan Israel, asal anak-anakmu tetap hidup di hadapan-Ku sama seperti engkau hidup di hadapan-Ku.

26 So now, O God of Israel, it is my prayer that you will make your word come true which you said to your servant David, my father.

Maka sekarang, ya Allah Israel, biarlah kiranya menjadi nyata keteguhan janji yang telah Kauucapkan kepada hamba-Mu Daud, ayahku.

27 But is it truly possible that God may be housed on earth? see, heaven and the heaven of heavens are not wide enough to be your resting-place; how much less this house which I have made!

Tetapi benarkah Allah hendak diam di atas bumi? Sesungguhnya langit, bahkan langit yang mengatasi segala langitpun tidak dapat memuat Engkau, terlebih lagi rumah yang kudirikan ini.

28 Still, let your heart be turned to the prayer of your servant, O Lord God, and to his prayer for grace; give ear to the cry and the prayer which your servant sends up to you this day;

Maka berpalinglah kepada doa dan permohonan hamba-Mu ini, ya TUHAN Allahku, dengarkanlah seruan dan doa yang hamba-Mu panjatkan di hadapan-Mu pada hari ini!

29 That your eyes may be open to this house night and day, to this place of which you have said, My name will be there; hearing the prayer which your servant may make, turning to this place.

Kiranya mata-Mu terbuka terhadap rumah ini, siang dan malam, terhadap tempat yang Kaukatakan: nama-Ku akan tinggal di sana; dengarkanlah doa yang hamba-Mu panjatkan di tempat ini.

30 Give ear to the prayers of your servant, and the prayers of your people Israel, when they make their prayers, turning to this place; give ear in heaven your living-place, and hearing, have mercy.

Dan dengarkanlah permohonan hamba-Mu dan umat-Mu Israel yang mereka panjatkan di tempat ini; bahwa Engkau juga yang mendengarnya di tempat kediaman-Mu di sorga; dan apabila Engkau mendengarnya, maka Engkau akan mengampuni.

31 If a man does wrong to his neighbour, and has to take an oath, and comes before your altar to take his oath in this house:

Jika seseorang telah berdosa kepada temannya, lalu diwajibkan mengangkat sumpah dengan mengutuk dirinya, dan dia datang bersumpah ke depan mezbah-Mu di dalam rumah ini,

32 Then let your ear be open in heaven, and be the judge of your servants, giving your decision against the wrongdoer, so that punishment for his sins may come on his head; and, by your decision, keeping from evil him who has done no wrong.

maka Engkaupun kiranya mendengarkannya di sorga dan bertindak serta mengadili hamba-hamba-Mu, yakni menyatakan bersalah orang yang bersalah dengan menanggungkan perbuatannya kepada orang itu sendiri, tetapi menyatakan benar orang yang benar dengan memberi pembalasan kepadanya yang sesuai dengan kebenarannya.

33 When your people Israel are overcome in war, because of their sin against you; if they are turned to you again, honouring your name, making prayers to you and requesting your grace in this house:

Apabila umat-Mu Israel terpukul kalah oleh musuhnya karena mereka berdosa kepada-Mu, kemudian mereka berbalik kepada-Mu dan mengakui nama-Mu, dan mereka berdoa dan memohon kepada-Mu di rumah ini,

34 Then give ear in heaven, and let the sin of your people Israel have forgiveness, and take them back again into the land which you gave to their fathers.

maka Engkaupun kiranya mendengarkannya di sorga dan mengampuni dosa umat-Mu Israel dan mengembalikan mereka ke tanah yang telah Kauberikan kepada nenek moyang mereka.

35 When heaven is shut up and there is no rain, because of their sin against you; if they make prayers with their faces turned to this place, honouring your name and turning away from their sin when you send trouble on them:

Apabila langit tertutup, sehingga tidak ada hujan, sebab mereka berdosa kepada-Mu, lalu mereka berdoa di tempat ini dan mengakui nama-Mu dan mereka berbalik dari dosanya, sebab Engkau telah menindas mereka,

36 Then give ear in heaven, so that the sin of your servants, and of your people Israel, may have forgiveness, when you make clear to them the good way in which they are to go; and send rain on your land which you have given to your people for their heritage.

maka Engkaupun kiranya mendengarkannya di sorga dan mengampuni dosa hamba-hamba-Mu, umat-Mu Israel, --karena Engkaulah yang menunjukkan kepada mereka jalan yang baik yang harus mereka ikuti--dan Engkau kiranya memberikan hujan kepada tanah-Mu yang telah Kauberikan kepada umat-Mu menjadi milik pusaka.

37 If there is no food in the land, or if there is disease, or if the fruits of the earth are damaged through heat or water, locust or worm; if their towns are shut in by their attackers; whatever trouble, whatever disease there may be:

Apabila di negeri ini ada kelaparan, apabila ada penyakit sampar, hama dan penyakit gandum, belalang, atau belalang pelahap, apabila musuh menyesakkan mereka di salah satu kota mereka, apabila ada tulah atau penyakit apapun,

38 Whatever prayer or request for your grace is made by any man, or by all your people Israel, whatever his trouble may be, whose hands are stretched out to this house:

lalu seseorang atau segenap umat-Mu Israel ini memanjatkan doa dan permohonan di rumah ini dengan menadahkan tangannya--karena mereka masing-masing mengenal apa yang merisaukan hatinya sendiri--

39 Give ear in heaven your living-place, acting in mercy; and give to every man whose secret heart is open to you, the reward of all his ways; for you, and you only, have knowledge of the hearts of all the children of men:

maka Engkaupun kiranya mendengarkannya di sorga, tempat kediaman-Mu yang tetap, dan Engkau kiranya mengampuni, bertindak, dan membalaskan kepada setiap orang sesuai dengan segala kelakuannya, karena engkau mengenal hatinya--sebab Engkau sajalah yang mengenal hati semua anak manusia, --

40 So that they may give you worship all the days of their life in the land which you gave to our fathers.

supaya mereka takut akan Engkau selama mereka hidup di atas tanah yang telah Kauberikan kepada nenek moyang kami.

41 And as for the man from a strange land, who is not of your people Israel; when he comes from a far country because of the glory of your name:

Juga apabila seorang asing, yang tidak termasuk umat-Mu Israel, datang dari negeri jauh oleh karena nama-Mu, --

42 (For they will have news of your great name and your strong hand and your out-stretched arm; ) when he comes to make his prayer, turning to this house:

sebab orang akan mendengar tentang nama-Mu yang besar dan tentang tangan-Mu yang kuat dan lengan-Mu yang teracung--dan ia datang berdoa di rumah ini,

43 Give ear in heaven your living-place, and give him his desire, whatever it may be; so that all the peoples of the earth may have knowledge of your name, worshipping you as do your people Israel, and that they may see that this house which I have put up is truly named by your name.

maka Engkaupun kiranya mendengarkannya di sorga, tempat kediaman-Mu yang tetap, dan Engkau kiranya bertindak sesuai dengan segala yang diserukan kepada-Mu oleh orang asing itu, supaya segala bangsa di bumi mengenal nama-Mu, sehingga mereka takut akan Engkau sama seperti umat-Mu Israel dan sehingga mereka tahu, bahwa nama-Mu telah diserukan atas rumah yang telah kudirikan ini.

44 If your people go out to war against their attackers, by whatever way you may send them, if they make their prayer to the Lord, turning their faces to this town of yours and to this house which I have made for your name:

Apabila umat-Mu keluar untuk berperang melawan musuhnya, ke arah manapun Engkau menyuruh mereka, dan apabila mereka berdoa kepada TUHAN dengan berkiblat ke kota yang telah Kaupilih dan ke rumah yang telah kudirikan bagi nama-Mu,

45 Give ear in heaven to their prayer and their cry for grace, and see right done to them.

maka Engkau kiranya mendengarkan di sorga doa dan permohonan mereka dan Engkau kiranya memberikan keadilan kepada mereka.

46 If they do wrong against you, (for no man is without sin, ) and you are angry with them and give them up into the power of those who are fighting against them, so that they take them away as prisoners into a strange land, far off or near;

Apabila mereka berdosa kepada-Mu--karena tidak ada manusia yang tidak berdosa--dan Engkau murka kepada mereka dan menyerahkan mereka kepada musuh, sehingga mereka diangkut tertawan ke negeri musuh yang jauh atau yang dekat,

47 And if they take thought, in the land where they are prisoners, and are turned again to you, crying out in prayer to you in that land, and saying, We are sinners, we have done wrong, we have done evil;

dan apabila mereka sadar kembali dalam hatinya di negeri tempat mereka tertawan, dan mereka berbalik, dan memohon kepada-Mu di negeri orang-orang yang mengangkut mereka tertawan, dengan berkata: Kami telah berdosa, bersalah, dan berbuat fasik,

48 And with all their heart and soul are turned again to you, in the land of those who took them prisoners, and make their prayer to you, turning their eyes to this land which you gave to their fathers, and to the town which you took for yourself, and the house which I made for your name:

apabila mereka berbalik kepada-Mu dengan segenap hatinya dan dengan segenap jiwanya di negeri musuh yang mengangkut mereka tertawan, dan apabila mereka berdoa kepada-Mu dengan berkiblat ke negeri mereka yang telah Kauberikan kepada nenek moyang mereka, ke kota yang telah Kaupilih dan ke rumah yang telah kudirikan bagi nama-Mu,

49 Then give ear to their prayer and to their cry in heaven your living-place, and see right done to them;

maka Engkau kiranya mendengarkan di sorga, tempat kediaman-Mu yang tetap, kepada doa dan permohonan mereka dan Engkau kiranya memberikan keadilan kepada mereka.

50 Answering with forgiveness the people who have done wrong against you, and overlooking the evil which they have done against you; let those who made them prisoners be moved with pity for them, and have pity on them;

Engkau kiranya mengampuni umat-Mu yang telah berdosa kepada-Mu, mengampuni segala pelanggaran yang dilakukan mereka kepada-Mu, dan kiranya Engkau membuat mereka menjadi kesayangan orang-orang yang mengangkut mereka tertawan, sehingga orang-orang itu menyayangi mereka,

51 For they are your people and your heritage, which you took out of Egypt, out of the iron fireplace;

sebab mereka itu umat-Mu dan milik kepunyaan-Mu yang telah Kaubawa keluar dari Mesir dari tengah-tengah dapur peleburan besi.

52 Let your eyes be open to your servant's prayer for grace and to the prayer of your people Israel, hearing them when their cry comes to you.

Hendaklah mata-Mu terbuka terhadap permohonan hamba-Mu dan terhadap permohonan umat-Mu Israel dan hendaklah Engkau mendengarkan mereka seberapa kali mereka berseru kepada-Mu.

53 For you made them separate from all the peoples of the earth, to be your heritage, as you said by Moses your servant, when you took our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord God.

Sebab Engkaulah yang memisahkan mereka bagi-Mu menjadi milik kepunyaan-Mu dari antara segala bangsa di bumi, seperti yang telah Kaufirmankan dengan perantaraan Musa, hamba-Mu, pada waktu Engkau membawa nenek moyang kami keluar dari Mesir, ya Tuhan ALLAH!"

54 Then Solomon, after making all these prayers and requests for grace to the Lord, got up from his knees before the altar of the Lord, where his hands had been stretched out in prayer to heaven;

Ketika Salomo selesai memanjatkan segala doa dan permohonan itu kepada TUHAN, bangkitlah ia dari depan mezbah TUHAN setelah berlutut dengan menadahkan tangannya ke langit.

55 And, getting on his feet, he gave a blessing to all the men of Israel, saying with a loud voice,

Maka berdirilah ia dan memberkati segenap jemaah Israel dengan suara nyaring, katanya:

56 Praise be to the Lord who has given rest to his people Israel, as he gave them his word to do; every word of all his oath, which he gave by the hand of Moses his servant, has come true.

"Terpujilah TUHAN yang memberikan tempat perhentian kepada umat-Nya Israel tepat seperti yang difirmankan-Nya; dari segala yang baik, yang telah dijanjikan-Nya dengan perantaraan Musa, hamba-Nya, tidak ada satupun yang tidak dipenuhi.

57 Now may the Lord our God be with us as he was with our fathers; let him never go away from us or give us up;

Kiranya TUHAN, Allah kita, menyertai kita sebagaimana Ia telah menyertai nenek moyang kita, janganlah Ia meninggalkan kita dan janganlah Ia membuangkan kita,

58 Turning our hearts to himself, guiding us to go in all his ways, to keep his orders and his laws and his decisions, which he gave to our fathers.

tetapi hendaklah dicondongkan-Nya hati kita kepada-Nya untuk hidup menurut segala jalan yang ditunjukkan-Nya, dan untuk tetap mengikuti segala perintah-Nya dan ketetapan-Nya dan peraturan-Nya yang telah diperintahkan-Nya kepada nenek moyang kita.

59 And may these my words, the words of my prayer to the Lord, be before the Lord our God day and night, so that he may see right done to his servant and to his people Israel, day by day as we have need.

Hendaklah perkataan yang telah kupohonkan tadi di hadapan TUHAN, dekat pada TUHAN, Allah kita, siang dan malam, supaya Ia memberikan keadilan kepada hamba-Nya dan kepada umat-Nya Israel menurut yang perlu pada setiap hari,

60 So that all the peoples of the earth may see that the Lord is God, and there is no other.

supaya segala bangsa di bumi tahu, bahwa Tuhanlah Allah, dan tidak ada yang lain,

61 Then let your hearts be without sin before the Lord our God, walking in his laws and keeping his orders as at this day.

dan hendaklah kamu berpaut kepada TUHAN, Allah kita, dengan sepenuh hatimu dan dengan hidup menurut segala ketetapan-Nya dan dengan tetap mengikuti segala perintah-Nya seperti pada hari ini."

62 Now the king, and all Israel with him, were making offerings before the Lord.

Lalu raja bersama-sama segenap Israel mempersembahkan korban sembelihan di hadapan TUHAN.

63 And Solomon gave to the Lord for peace-offerings, twenty-two thousand oxen and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel kept the feast of the opening of the Lord's house.

Sebagai korban keselamatannya kepada TUHAN Salomo mempersembahkan dua puluh dua ribu ekor lembu sapi dan seratus dua puluh ribu ekor kambing domba. Demikianlah raja dan segenap Israel mentahbiskan rumah TUHAN itu.

64 The same day the king made holy the middle of the open square in front of the house of the Lord, offering there the burned offering and the meal offering and the fat of the peace-offerings; for there was not room on the brass altar of the Lord for the burned offerings and the meal offerings and the fat of the peace-offerings.

Pada hari itu juga raja menguduskan pertengahan pelataran yang di depan rumah TUHAN, sebab di situlah ia mempersembahkan korban bakaran, korban sajian dan segala lemak korban keselamatan, sebab mezbah tembaga yang di hadapan TUHAN itu terlalu kecil untuk memuat korban bakaran dan korban sajian dan segala lemak korban keselamatan itu.

65 So Solomon and all Israel with him, a very great meeting, (for the people had come together from the way into Hamath to the river of Egypt, ) kept the feast at that time before the Lord our God, for two weeks, even fourteen days.

Lalu Salomo mengadakan perayaan pada waktu itu juga, di hadapan TUHAN, Allah kita, selama tujuh hari, bersama-sama dengan seluruh Israel, suatu jemaah yang besar, dari jalan masuk ke Hamat sampai sungai Mesir.

66 And on the eighth day he sent the people away, and, blessing the king, they went to their tents full of joy and glad in their hearts, because of all the good which the Lord had done to David his servant and to Israel his people.

Pada hari yang kedelapan disuruhnya bangsa itu pergi, maka mereka memohon berkat untuk raja, lalu pulang ke kemah mereka sambil bersukacita dan bergembira atas segala kebaikan yang telah dilakukan TUHAN kepada Daud, hamba-Nya, dan kepada orang Israel, umat-Nya.
