1 Kings 8

1 Then all those greater by birth of Israel, with the leaders of the tribes and the rulers of the families of the sons of Israel, gathered together before king Solomon at Jerusalem, so that they might carry the ark of the covenant of the Lord, from the city of David, that is, from 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 of Israel assembled before king Solomon, on the solemn day in the month of Ethanim, which is 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 elders of Israel arrived, and the priests took up the ark.

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

4 And they carried the ark of the Lord, and the tabernacle of the covenant, and all the vessels of the Sanctuary, which were in the tabernacle; and the priests and the Levites carried these.

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 Then king Solomon, and the entire multitude of Israel, who had assembled before him, advanced with him before the ark. And they immolated sheep and oxen, which could not be numbered or estimated.

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 brought in the ark of the covenant of the Lord to its place, into the oracle of the temple, in the Holy of Holies, under the wings of the cherubim.

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 indeed, the cherubim extended their wings over the place of the ark, and they protected the ark and its bars from above.

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 And since the bars projected outward, their ends were visible from without, in the Sanctuary before the oracle; but they were not visible farther outward. And they have been in that place even to the present 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 Now inside the ark, there was nothing other than the two tablets of stone, which Moses had placed in it at Horeb, when the Lord formed a covenant with the sons of Israel, when they departed from 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 Then it happened that, when the priests had exited from the Sanctuary, a cloud filled the house of the Lord.

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

11 And the priests were unable to stand and minister, because of the cloud. For the glory of the Lord had filled the house 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: “The Lord has said that he would dwell in a cloud.

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

13 Building, I have built a house as your dwelling place, your most firm throne forever.”

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

14 And the king turned his face, and he blessed the entire assembly of Israel. For the entire assembly of Israel was standing.

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

15 And Solomon said: “Blessed is the Lord, the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to my father David, and who, with his own hands, has perfected it, 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 led my people Israel away from Egypt, I did not choose any city out of all the tribes of Israel, so that a house would be built, and so that my name might be there. Instead, I chose David to be 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 And my father David wanted to build a house to 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 my father David: ‘Since you have planned in your heart to build a house to my name, you have done well by considering this plan in your mind.

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

19 Yet truly, you shall not build a house for me. Instead, your son, who shall go forth from your loins, he himself shall build a house to 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 The Lord has confirmed his word which he spoke. And so I stand in place of my father David, and I sit upon the throne of Israel, just as the Lord said. And I have built a house to 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 And there I have appointed a place for the ark, in which is the covenant of the Lord that he struck with our fathers, when they went forth from 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 stood before the altar of the Lord, in the sight of the assembly of Israel, and he extended his hands toward heaven.

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

23 And he said: “Lord God of Israel, there is no God like you, in heaven above, nor on the earth below. You preserve covenant and mercy with your servants, who walk before you with all their heart.

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 You have fulfilled, for your servant David, my father, that which you said to him. With your mouth, you spoke; and with your hands, you completed; just as this day proves.

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 Now therefore, O Lord God of Israel, fulfill, for your servant David, my father, that which you spoke to him, saying, ‘There shall not be taken away from you a man before me, who may sit upon the throne of Israel, if only your sons will guard their way, so that they walk before me, just as you have walked in my sight.’

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 And now, O Lord God of Israel, establish your words, which you spoke 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 Is it, then, to be understood that truly God would dwell upon the earth? For if heaven, and the heavens of heavens, are not able to contain you, how much less this house, which I have built?

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 Yet look with favor upon the prayer of your servant and upon his petitions, O Lord, my God. Listen to the hymn and the prayer, which your servant prays before 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 so that your eyes may be open over this house, night and day, over the house about which you said, ‘My name shall be there,’ so that you may heed the prayer that your servant is praying in this place to you.

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 So may you heed the supplication of your servant and of your people Israel, whatever they will pray for in this place, and so may you heed them in your dwelling place in heaven. And when you heed, you will be gracious.

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 But if any man sins against his neighbor, and he has any kind of an oath by which he is bound, and he arrives because of the oath, before your altar in your 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 you will hear in heaven, and you will act and judge your servants, condemning the impious, and repaying his own way upon his own head, but justifying the just, and rewarding him in accord with his justice.

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 And if your people Israel will have fled from their enemies, because they have sinned against you, and doing penance and confessing to your name, shall arrive and pray and petition you 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 listen in heaven, and forgive the sin of your people Israel, and lead them back to 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 And if the heavens have closed, so that there is no rain, because of their sins, and they, praying in this place, shall do penance to your name, and shall be converted from their sins, by occasion of their afflictions,

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 hear them from heaven, and forgive the sins of your servants and of your people Israel. And reveal to them the good way, along which they should walk, and grant rain upon your land, which you have given to your people as a possession.

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 Then, if famine rises over the land, or pestilence, or corrupt air, or blight, or locust, or mildew, or if their enemy afflicts them, besieging the gates, or any harm or infirmity,

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 or whatever curse or divine intervention may happen to any man among your people Israel, if anyone understands, having been wounded in his heart, and if he will have extended his hands in 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 you will hear in heaven, in your dwelling place, and you will forgive. And you will act so that you give to each one in accord with his own ways, just as you see in his heart, for you alone know the heart of all the sons 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 may they fear you, all the days that they live upon the face of the land, which you have given to our fathers.

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

41 Moreover, the foreigner too, who is not of your people Israel, when he will have arrived from a distant land because of your name, for they shall hear about your great name, and your strong hand,

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

42 and your outstretched arm everywhere: so when he arrives and prays in this place,

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 you will listen in heaven, in the firmament of your dwelling place. And you will do all the things, for which that foreigner will have called upon you. So may all the peoples of the earth learn to fear your name, just as your people Israel do. And so may they show that your name has been invoked over this house, which I have built.

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 And if your people have gone out to war against their enemies, along whatever way you will send them, they shall pray to you in the direction of the city, which you have chosen, and toward the house, which I have built to 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 And you will hear in heaven their prayers and their petitions. And you will accomplish judgment for them.

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

46 But if they sin against you, for there is no man who does not sin, and you, being angry, deliver them to their enemies, and they will have been led away as captives to the land of their enemies, whether far 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 do penance in their heart, in the place of captivity, and having been converted, make supplication to you in their captivity, saying, ‘We have sinned; we acted unjustly; we committed impiety,’

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 they return to you with all their heart and all their soul, in the land of their enemies, to which they have been led away as captives, and if they pray to you in the direction of their land, which you gave to their fathers, and of the city, which you have chosen, and of the temple, which I have built to 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 you will hear in heaven, in the firmament of your throne, their prayers and their petitions. And you will accomplish their judgment.

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

50 And you will forgive your people, who have sinned against you, and all their iniquities, by which they have transgressed against you. And you will grant to them mercy in the sight of those who have made them captives, so that they may take 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 inheritance, whom you have led away from the land of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron.

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

52 So may your eyes be open to the supplication of your servant and of your people Israel. And so may you heed them in all the things about which they will call upon 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 have separated them to yourself as an inheritance, from among all the peoples of the earth, just as you spoke by Moses, your servant, when you led our fathers away from 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 And it happened that, when Solomon had completed praying this entire prayer and supplication to the Lord, he rose up from the sight of the altar of the Lord. For he had fixed both knees upon the ground, and he had extended his hands toward 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 Then he stood and blessed the entire assembly of Israel in a great voice, saying:

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

56 “Blessed is the Lord, who has given rest to his people Israel, in accord with all that he said. Not even one word, out of all the good things that he spoke by his servant Moses, has fallen away.

"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 May the Lord our God be with us, just as he was with our fathers, not abandoning us, and not rejecting us.

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

58 But may he incline our hearts to himself, so that we may walk in all his ways, and keep his commandments, and his ceremonies, and whatever judgments he commanded 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, by which I have prayed before the Lord, be near to the Lord our God, day and night, so that he may accomplish judgment for his servant and for his people Israel, throughout each day.

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 may all the peoples of the earth know that the Lord himself is God, and there is no other beside him.

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

61 Also, may our hearts be perfect with the Lord our God, so that we may walk in his decrees, and keep his commandments, as also on 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 Then the king, and all of Israel with him, immolated victims before the Lord.

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

63 And Solomon slew sacrifices of peace offerings, which he immolated to the Lord: twenty-two thousand oxen, and twenty thousand one hundred sheep. And the king and all the sons of Israel dedicated the temple of the Lord.

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 On that day, the king sanctified the middle of the atrium, which was before the house of the Lord. For in that place, he offered holocaust, and sacrifice, and the fat of peace offerings. For the bronze altar, which was before the Lord, was too small and was not able to hold the holocaust, and the sacrifice, 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 Then Solomon made, at that time, a celebratory festival, and all of Israel with him, a great multitude, from the entrance of Hamath to the river of Egypt, in the sight of the Lord our God, for seven days plus seven days, that is, 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 dismissed the people. And blessing the king, they set out for their tents, rejoicing and cheerful in heart over all the good things that the Lord had done for his servant David and for his people Israel.

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.
