1 Kings 8
1 Then all the ancients of Israel with the princes of the tribes, and the heads of the families of the children of Israel were assembled to king Solomon in Jerusalem: that they might carry the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of the city of David, that is, out of Sion.
那时，所罗门将以色列的长老和各支派的首领，并以色列的族长，招聚到耶路撒冷，要把耶和华的约柜从大卫城—就是锡安—运上来。
2 And all Israel assembled themselves to king Solomon on the festival day in the month of Ethanim, the same is the seventh month.
以他念月，就是七月，在节前，以色列人都聚集到所罗门王那里。
3 And all the ancients of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark,
以色列长老来到，祭司便抬起约柜，
4 And carried the ark of the Lord, and the tabernacle of the covenant, and all the vessels of the sanctuary, that were in the tabernacle: and the priests and the Levites carried them.
祭司和利未人将耶和华的约柜运上来，又将会幕和会幕的一切圣器具都带上来。
5 And king Solomon, and all the multitude of Israel, that were assembled unto him went with him before the ark, and they sacrificed sheep and oxen that could not be counted or numbered.
所罗门王和聚集到他那里的以色列全会众，一同在约柜前献牛羊为祭，多得不可胜数。
6 And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the Lord into its place, into the oracle of the temple, into the holy of holies under the wings of the cherubims.
祭司将耶和华的约柜抬进内殿，就是至圣所，放在两个基路伯的翅膀底下。
7 For the cherubims spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and covered the art, and the staves thereof above.
基路伯张着翅膀在约柜之上，遮掩约柜和抬柜的杠。
8 And whereas the staves stood out, the ends of them were seen without in the sanctuary before the oracle, but were not seen farther out, and there they have been unto this day.
这杠甚长，杠头在内殿前的圣所可以看见，在殿外却不能看见，直到如今还在那里。
9 Now in the ark there was nothing else but the two tables of stone, which Moses put there at Horeb, when the Lord made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.
约柜里惟有两块石版，就是以色列人出埃及地后，耶和华与他们立约的时候摩西在何烈山所放的。除此以外，并无别物。
10 And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the sanctuary, that a cloud filled the house of the Lord,
祭司从圣所出来的时候，有云充满耶和华的殿；
11 And the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of the Lord.
甚至祭司不能站立供职，因为耶和华的荣光充满了殿。
12 Then Solomon said: The Lord said that he would dwell in a cloud.
那时所罗门说： 耶和华曾说， 他必住在幽暗之处。
13 Building I have built a house for thy dwelling, to be thy most firm throne for ever.
我已经建造殿宇作你的居所， 为你永远的住处。
14 And the king turned his face, and blessed all the assembly of Israel: for all the assembly of Israel stood.
王转脸为以色列会众祝福，以色列会众就都站立。
15 And Solomon said: Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David my father, and with his own hands hath accomplished it, saying:
所罗门说：“耶和华—以色列的 神是应当称颂的！因他亲口向我父大卫所应许的，也亲手成就了。
16 Since the day that I brought my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel, for a house to be built, that my name might be there: but I chose David to be over my people Israel.
他说：‘自从我领我民以色列出埃及以来，我未曾在以色列各支派中选择一城建造殿宇—为我名的居所，但拣选大卫治理我民以色列。’”
17 And David my father would have built a house to the name of the Lord the God of Israel:
所罗门说：“我父大卫曾立意，要为耶和华—以色列 神的名建殿。
18 And the Lord said to David my father: Whereas thou hast thought in thy heart to build a house to my name, thou hast done well in having this same thing in thy mind.
耶和华却对我父大卫说：‘你立意为我的名建殿，这意思甚好。
19 Nevertheless thou shalt not build me a house, but thy son, that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build a house to my name.
只是你不可建殿，惟你所生的儿子必为我名建殿。’
20 The Lord hath performed his word which he spoke: and I stand in the room of David my father, and sit upon the throne of Israel, as the Lord promised: and have built a house to the name of the Lord the God of Israel.
现在耶和华成就了他所应许的话，使我接续我父大卫坐以色列的国位，又为耶和华—以色列 神的名建造了殿。
21 And I have set there a place for the ark, wherein is the covenant of the Lord, which he made with our fathers, when they came out of the land of Egypt.
我也在其中为约柜预备一处。约柜内有耶和华的约，就是他领我们列祖出埃及地的时候，与他们所立的约。”
22 And Solomon stood before the altar of the Lord in the sight of the assembly of Israel, and spread forth his hands towards heaven;
所罗门当着以色列会众，站在耶和华的坛前，向天举手说：
23 And said: Lord God of Israel, there is no God like thee in heaven above, or on earth beneath: who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants that have walked before thee with all their heart.
“耶和华—以色列的 神啊，天上地下没有神可比你的！你向那尽心行在你面前的仆人守约施慈爱；
24 Who hast kept with thy servant David my father what thou hast promised him: with thy mouth thou didst speak, and with thy hands thou hast performed, as this day proveth.
向你仆人—我父大卫所应许的话现在应验了。你亲口应许，亲手成就，正如今日一样。
25 Now therefore, O Lord God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father what thou hast spoken to him, saying: There shall not be taken away of thee a man in my sight, to sit on the throne of Israel: yet so that thy children take heed to their way, that they walk before me as thou hast walked in my sight.
耶和华—以色列的 神啊，你所应许你仆人—我父大卫的话说：‘你的子孙若谨慎自己的行为，在我面前行事像你所行的一样，就不断人坐以色列的国位。’现在求你应验这话。
26 And now, Lord God of Israel, let thy words be established, which thou hast spoken to thy servant David my father.
以色列的 神啊，求你成就向你仆人—我父大卫所应许的话。
27 Is it then to be thought that God should indeed dwell upon earth? for if heaven, and the heavens of heavens cannot contain thee, how much less this house which I have built?
“神果真住在地上吗？看哪，天和天上的天尚且不足你居住的，何况我所建的这殿呢？
28 But have regard to the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplications, O Lord my God: hear the hymn and the prayer, which thy servant prayeth before thee this day:
惟求耶和华—我的 神垂顾仆人的祷告祈求，俯听仆人今日在你面前的祈祷呼吁。
29 That thy eyes may be open upon this house night and day: upon the house of which thou hast said: My name shall be there: that thou mayest hearken to the prayer, which thy servant prayeth in this place to thee.
愿你昼夜看顾这殿，就是你应许立为你名的居所；求你垂听仆人向此处祷告的话。
30 That thou mayest hearken to the supplication of thy servant and of thy people Israel, whatsoever they shall pray for in this place, and hear them in the place of thy dwelling in heaven; and when thou hearest, shew them mercy.
你仆人和你民以色列向此处祈祷的时候，求你在天上你的居所垂听，垂听而赦免。
31 If any man trespass against his neighbour, and have an oath upon him, wherewith he is bound: and come because of the oath before thy altar to thy house,
“人若得罪邻舍，有人叫他起誓，他来到这殿在你的坛前起誓，
32 Then hear thou in heaven: and do, and judge thy servants, condemning the wicked, and bringing his way upon his own head, and justifying the just, and rewarding him according to his justice.
求你在天上垂听，判断你的仆人：定恶人有罪，照他所行的报应在他头上；定义人有理，照他的义赏赐他。
33 If thy people Israel shall fly before their enemies, (because they will sin against thee, ) and doing penance, and confessing to thy name, shall come, and pray, and make supplications to thee in this house:
“你的民以色列若得罪你，败在仇敌面前，又归向你，承认你的名，在这殿里祈求祷告，
34 Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them back to the land which thou gavest to their fathers.
求你在天上垂听，赦免你民以色列的罪，使他们归回你赐给他们列祖之地。
35 If heaven shall be shut up, and there shall be no rain, because of their sins, and they praying in this place, shall do penance to thy name, and shall be converted from their sins, by occasion of their afflictions:
“你的民因得罪你，你惩罚他们，使天闭塞不下雨；他们若向此处祷告，承认你的名，离开他们的罪，
36 Then hear thou them in heaven, and forgive the sins of thy servants, and of thy people Israel: and shew them the good way wherein they should walk, and give rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy people in possession.
求你在天上垂听，赦免你仆人以色列民的罪，将当行的善道指教他们，且降雨在你的地，就是你赐给你民为业之地。
37 If a famine arise in the land, or a pestilence, or corrupt air, or blasting, or locust, or mildew, if their enemy afflict them besieging the gates, whatsoever plague, whatsoever infirmity,
“国中若有饥荒、瘟疫、旱风、霉烂、蝗虫、蚂蚱，或有仇敌犯境围困城邑，无论遭遇什么灾祸疾病，
38 Whatsoever curse or imprecation shall happen to any man of thy people Israel: when a man shall know the wound of his own heart, and shall spread forth his hands in this house,
你的民以色列，或是众人，或是一人，自觉有罪，向这殿举手，无论祈求什么，祷告什么，
39 Then hear thou in heaven, in the place of thy dwelling, and forgive, and do so as to give to every one according to his ways, as thou shalt see his heart (for thou only knowest the heart of all the children of men)
求你在天上你的居所垂听赦免。你是知道人心的，要照各人所行的待他们（惟有你知道世人的心），
40 That they may fear thee all the days that they live upon the face of the land, which thou hast given to our fathers.
使他们在你赐给我们列祖之地上一生一世敬畏你。
41 Moreover also the stranger, who is not of thy people Israel, when he shall come out of a far country for thy name’s sake, (for they shall hear everywhere of thy great name and thy mighty hand,
“论到不属你民以色列的外邦人，为你名从远方而来，
42 And thy stretched out arm, ) so when he shall come, and shall pray in this place,
（他们听人论说你的大名和大能的手，并伸出来的膀臂）向这殿祷告，
43 Then hear thou in heaven, in the firmament of thy dwelling place, and do all those things, for which that stranger shall call upon thee: that all the people of the earth may learn to fear thy name, as do thy people Israel, and may prove that thy name is called upon on this house, which I have built.
求你在天上你的居所垂听，照着外邦人所祈求的而行，使天下万民都认识你的名，敬畏你像你的民以色列一样；又使他们知道我建造的这殿是称为你名下的。
44 If thy people go out to war against their enemies, by what way soever thou shalt send them, they shall pray to thee towards the way of the city, which thou hast chosen, and towards the house, which I have built to thy name:
“你的民若奉你的差遣，无论往何处去与仇敌争战，向耶和华所选择的城与我为你名所建造的殿祷告，
45 And then hear thou in heaven their prayers, and their supplications, and do judgment for them.
求你在天上垂听他们的祷告祈求，使他们得胜。
46 But if they sin against thee (for there is no man who sinneth not) and thou being angry deliver them up to their enemies, so that they be led away captives into the land of their enemies far or near;
“你的民若得罪你（世上没有不犯罪的人），你向他们发怒，将他们交给仇敌掳到仇敌之地，或远或近，
47 Then if they do penance in their heart in the place of captivity, and being converted make supplication to thee in their captivity, saying: We have sinned, we have done unjustly, we have committed wickedness:
他们若在掳到之地想起罪来，回心转意，恳求你说：‘我们有罪了，我们悖逆了，我们作恶了’；
48 And return to thee with all their heart, and all their soul, in the land of their enemies, to which they had been led captives: and pray to thee towards the way of their land, which thou gavest to their fathers, and of the city which thou hast chosen, and of the temple which I have built to thy name:
他们若在掳到之地尽心尽性归服你，又向自己的地，就是你赐给他们列祖之地和你所选择的城，并我为你名所建造的殿祷告，
49 Then hear thou in heaven, in the firmament of thy throne, their prayers, and their supplications, and do judgment for them:
求你在天上你的居所垂听他们的祷告祈求，为他们伸冤；
50 And forgive thy people, that have sinned against thee, and all their iniquities, by which they have transgressed against thee: and give them mercy before them that have made them captives, that they may have compassion on them.
饶恕得罪你的民，赦免他们的一切过犯，使他们在掳他们的人面前蒙怜恤。
51 For they are thy people, and thy inheritance, whom thou hast brought out of the land of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron.
因为他们是你的子民，你的产业，是你从埃及领出来脱离铁炉的。
52 That thy eyes may be open to the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, to hear them in all things for which they shall call upon thee.
愿你的眼目看顾仆人，听你民以色列的祈求，无论何时向你祈求，愿你垂听。
53 For thou hast separated them to thyself for an inheritance from among all the people of the earth, as thou hast spoken by Moses thy servant, when thou broughtest our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord God.
主耶和华啊，你将他们从地上的万民中分别出来作你的产业，是照你领我们列祖出埃及的时候，借你仆人摩西所应许的话。”
54 And it came to pass, when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication to the Lord, that he rose from before the altar of the Lord: for he had fixed both knees on the ground, and had spread his hands towards heaven.
所罗门在耶和华的坛前屈膝跪着，向天举手，在耶和华面前祷告祈求已毕，就起来，
55 And he stood and blessed all the assembly of Israel with a, loud voice, saying:
站着，大声为以色列全会众祝福，说：
56 Blessed be the Lord, who hath given rest to his people Israel, according to all that he promised: there hath not failed so much as one word of all the good things that he promised by his servant Moses.
“耶和华是应当称颂的！因为他照着一切所应许的赐平安给他的民以色列人，凡借他仆人摩西应许赐福的话，一句都没有落空。
57 The Lord our God be with us, as he was with our fathers, and not leave us, nor cast us off:
愿耶和华—我们的 神与我们同在，像与我们列祖同在一样，不撇下我们，不丢弃我们，
58 But may he incline our hearts to himself, that we may walk in all his ways, and keep his commandments, and his ceremonies, and all his judgments which he commanded our fathers.
使我们的心归向他，遵行他的道，谨守他吩咐我们列祖的诫命、律例、典章。
59 And let these my words, wherewith I have prayed before the Lord, he nigh unto the Lord our God day and night, that he may do judgment for his servant, and for his people Israel day by day:
我在耶和华面前祈求的这些话，愿耶和华—我们的 神昼夜垂念，每日为他仆人与他民以色列伸冤，
60 That all the people of the earth may know, that the Lord he is God, and there is no other besides him.
使地上的万民都知道惟独耶和华是 神，并无别神。
61 Let our hearts also be perfect with the Lord our God, that we may walk in his statutes, and keep his commandments, as at this day.
所以你们当向耶和华—我们的 神存诚实的心，遵行他的律例，谨守他的诫命，至终如今日一样。”
62 And the king, and all Israel him, offered victims before the Lord.
王和以色列众民一同在耶和华面前献祭。
63 And Solomon slew victims of peace offerings, which he sacrificed to the Lord, two and twenty thousand oxen, and hundred and twenty thousand sheep: so the king, and the children of Israel dedicated the temple of the Lord.
所罗门向耶和华献平安祭，用牛二万二千，羊十二万。这样，王和以色列众民为耶和华的殿行奉献之礼。
64 In that day the king sanctified the middle of the court that was before the house of the Lord: for there he offered the holocaust, and sacrifice, and fat of the peace offerings: because the brazen altar that was before the Lord, was too little to receive the holocaust, and sacrifice, and fat of the peace offerings.
当日，王因耶和华殿前的铜坛太小，容不下燔祭、素祭，和平安祭牲的脂油，便将耶和华殿前院子当中分别为圣，在那里献燔祭、素祭，和平安祭牲的脂油。
65 And Solomon made at the same time a solemn feast, and all Israel with him, a great multitude from the entrance of Emath to the river of Egypt, before the Lord our God, seven days and seven days, that is, fourteen 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，在耶和华—我们的 神面前守节七日又七日，共十四日。
66 And on the eighth day he sent away the people: and they blessed the king, and went to their dwellings rejoicing, and glad in heart for all the good things that the Lord had done for David his servant, and for Israel his people.
第八日，王遣散众民；他们都为王祝福。因见耶和华向他仆人大卫和他民以色列所施的一切恩惠，就都心中喜乐，各归各家去了。
