Kings III 8
1 And it came to pass when Solomon had finished building the house of the Lord and his own house after twenty years, then king Solomon assembled all the elders of Israel in Sion, to bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of the city of David, this is Sion,
Setelah itu Raja Salomo menyuruh semua pemimpin suku dan kaum dari bangsa Israel datang kepadanya di Yerusalem untuk memindahkan Peti Perjanjian TUHAN dari Sion, Kota Daud, ke Rumah TUHAN.
2 in the month of Athanin.
Maka datanglah mereka semua pada Hari Raya Pondok Daun dalam bulan Etanim.
3 And the priests took up the ark,
Setelah semua pemimpin itu berkumpul, para imam mengangkat Peti Perjanjian itu,
4 and the tabernacle of testimony, and the holy furniture that was in the tabernacle of testimony.
dan membawanya ke Rumah TUHAN. Kemah TUHAN serta semua perlengkapannya dipindahkan juga ke Rumah TUHAN oleh para imam dan orang Lewi.
5 And the king and all Israel [were occupied] before the ark, sacrificing sheep [and] oxen, without number.
Raja Salomo dan seluruh rakyat Israel berkumpul di depan Peti Perjanjian itu lalu mempersembahkan kepada TUHAN domba dan sapi yang tak terhitung banyaknya.
6 And the priests bring in the ark into its place, into the oracle of the house, even into the holy of holies, under the wings of the cherubs.
Setelah itu para imam membawa Peti Perjanjian itu ke dalam Rumah TUHAN dan meletakkannya di bawah patung-patung kerub di dalam Ruang Mahasuci.
7 For the cherubs spread out their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubs covered the ark and its holy things above.
Sayap patung-patung itu terbentang menutupi peti itu dan kayu-kayu pengusungnya.
8 And the holy staves projected, and the ends of the holy staves appeared out of the holy places in front of the oracle, and were not seen without.
Kayu pengusung itu panjang sekali, sehingga ujung-ujungnya terlihat dari depan Ruang Mahasuci. (Sampai hari ini kayu-kayu itu masih di situ.)
9 There was nothing in the ark except the two tables of stone, the tables of the covenant which Moses put [there] in Choreb, which [tables] the Lord made [as a covenant] with the children of Israel in their going forth from the land of Egypt.
Di dalam Peti Perjanjian itu tidak ada sesuatu pun kecuali dua batu. Batu-batu itu telah dimasukkan ke situ oleh Musa di Gunung Sinai, ketika TUHAN membuat perjanjian dengan bangsa Israel pada waktu mereka dalam perjalanan dari Mesir ke negeri Kanaan.
10 And it came to pass when the priests departed out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house.
Pada saat para imam keluar dari Rumah TUHAN itu tiba-tiba rumah itu dipenuhi awan.
11 And the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud, because the glory of the Lord filled the house.
Awan itu berkilauan oleh keagungan kehadiran TUHAN sehingga para imam itu tak dapat masuk kembali untuk melaksanakan tugas mereka.
Maka berdoalah Salomo, katanya, "Engkaulah yang menempatkan surya di langit, ya TUHAN. Namun Engkau lebih suka tinggal dalam kegelapan awan.
Kini kubangun untuk-Mu gedung yang megah, untuk tempat tinggal-Mu selama-lamanya."
14 And the king turned his face, and the king blessed all Israel, (and the whole assembly of Israel stood: )
Setelah berdoa, Raja Salomo berpaling kepada seluruh rakyat yang sedang berdiri di situ, lalu memohonkan berkat Allah bagi mereka.
15 and he said, Blessed [be] the Lord God of Israel today, who spoke by his mouth concerning David my father, and has fulfilled it with his hands, saying,
Ia berkata, "Dahulu TUHAN telah berjanji kepada ayahku Daud begini, 'Sejak Aku membawa umat-Ku keluar dari Mesir, di seluruh negeri Israel tidak ada satu kota pun yang Kupilih menjadi tempat di mana harus dibangun rumah untuk tempat ibadat kepada-Ku. Tetapi engkau, Daud, Kupilih untuk memerintah umat-Ku.' Terpujilah TUHAN Allah Israel yang sudah menepati janji-Nya itu!"
16 From the day that I brought out my people Israel out of Egypt, I have not chosen a city in [any] one tribe of Israel to build a house, so that my name should be there: but I chose Jerusalem that my name should be there, and I chose David to be over my people Israel.
17 And it was in the heart of my father to build a house to the name of the Lord God of Israel.
Selanjutnya Salomo berkata, "Ayahku Daud telah merencanakan untuk membangun rumah tempat ibadat kepada TUHAN Allah Israel.
18 And the Lord said to David my father, Forasmuch as it came into your heart to build a house to my name, you did well that it came upon your heart.
Tetapi TUHAN berkata kepadanya, 'Maksudmu itu baik.
19 Nevertheless you shall not build the house, but your son that has proceeded out of your bowels, he shall build the house to my name.
Tetapi, bukan engkau, melainkan anakmulah yang akan membangun rumah-Ku itu.'
20 And the Lord has confirmed the word that he spoke, and I am risen up in the place of my father David, and I have sat down on the throne of Israel, as the Lord spoke, and I have built the house to the name of the Lord God of Israel.
Sekarang TUHAN telah menepati janji-Nya. Aku telah menjadi raja Israel menggantikan ayahku, dan aku telah pula membangun rumah untuk tempat ibadat kepada TUHAN, Allah Israel.
21 And I have set there a place for the ark, in which is the covenant of the Lord, which the Lord made with our fathers, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.
Di dalam Rumah TUHAN itu telah kusediakan tempat untuk Peti Perjanjian yang berisi batu perjanjian antara TUHAN dengan leluhur kita ketika Ia membawa mereka keluar dari Mesir."
22 And Solomon stood up in front of the altar before all the congregation of Israel; and he spread out his hands toward heaven:
Setelah itu, di hadapan rakyat yang hadir, Salomo berdiri menghadap mezbah lalu mengangkat kedua tangannya
23 and he said, Lord God of Israel, there is no God like you in heaven above and on the earth beneath, keeping covenant and mercy with your servant who walks before you with all his heart;
dan berdoa, "TUHAN, Allah Israel! Di langit atau pun di bumi tak ada yang seperti Engkau! Engkau menepati janji-Mu dan menunjukkan kasih-Mu kepada umat-Mu yang setia dan taat dengan sepenuh hati kepada-Mu.
24 which you have kept toward your servant David my father: for you have spoken by your mouth and you have fulfilled it with your hands, as [at] this day.
Engkau telah menepati janji-Mu kepada ayahku Daud. Apa yang Kaujanjikan itu sudah Kaulaksanakan hari ini.
25 And now, O Lord God of Israel, keep for your servant David my father, [the promises] which you have spoken to him, saying, There shall not be taken from you a man sitting before me on the throne of Israel, provided only your children shall take heed to their ways, to walk before me as you have walked before me.
Engkau juga telah berjanji kepada ayahku bahwa kalau keturunannya sungguh-sungguh taat kepada-Mu seperti dia, maka selalu akan ada seorang dari keturunannya yang menjadi raja atas Israel. Sekarang, ya TUHAN Allah Israel, tepatilah juga semua yang telah Kaujanjikan kepada ayahku Daud, hamba-Mu itu.
26 And now, O Lord God of Israel, let, I pray you, your word to David my father be confirmed.
27 But will God indeed dwell with men upon the earth? if the heaven and heaven of heavens will not suffice you, how much less even this house which I have built to your name?
Tetapi, ya Allah, sungguhkah Engkau sudi tinggal di bumi ini? Langit seluruhnya pun tak cukup luas untuk-Mu, apalagi rumah ibadat yang kubangun ini!
28 Yet, O Lord God of Israel, you shall look upon my petition, to hear the prayer which your servant prays to you in your presence this day,
Ya TUHAN, Allahku, aku hamba-Mu! Namun dengarkanlah kiranya doaku, dan kabulkanlah permohonanku hari ini.
29 that your eyes may be open toward this house day and night, even toward the place which you said, My name shall be there, to hear the prayer which your servant prays at this place day and night.
Semoga siang malam Engkau melindungi rumah ini yang telah Kaupilih sebagai tempat ibadat kepada-Mu. Semoga dari tempat kediaman-Mu di surga Engkau mendengar dan mengampuni aku serta umat-Mu apabila kami menghadap ke rumah ini dan berdoa kepada-Mu.
30 And you shall listen to the prayer of your servant, and of your people Israel, which they shall pray toward this place; and you shall hear in your dwelling-place in heaven, and you shall do and be gracious.
31 Whatsoever trespasses any [one] shall commit against his neighbor, —and if he shall take upon him an oath so that he should swear, and he shall come and make confession before your altar in this house,
Apabila seseorang dituduh bersalah terhadap orang lain dan dibawa ke mezbah-Mu di dalam rumah ibadat ini untuk bersumpah bahwa ia tidak bersalah,
32 then shall you hear from heaven, and do, and you shall judge your people Israel, that the wicked should be condemned, to recompense his way upon his head; and to justify the righteous, to give to him according to his righteousness.
ya TUHAN, hendaklah Engkau mendengarkan di surga dan memutuskan perkara hamba-hamba-Mu ini. Hukumlah yang bersalah setimpal perbuatannya dan bebaskanlah yang tidak bersalah.
33 When your people Israel falls before enemies, because they shall sin against you, and they shall return and confess to your name, and they shall pray and supplicate in this house,
Apabila umat-Mu Israel dikalahkan oleh musuh-musuhnya karena mereka berdosa, lalu mereka kembali kepada-Mu dan menghormati Engkau sebagai TUHAN, kemudian datang ke rumah ibadat ini serta berdoa mohon ampun kepada-Mu,
34 then shall you hear from heaven, and be gracious to the sins of your people Israel, and you shall restore them to the land which you gave to their fathers.
semoga Engkau mendengarkan mereka di surga. Semoga Engkau mengampuni dosa umat-Mu ini, dan membawa mereka kembali ke negeri yang telah Kauberikan kepada leluhur mereka.
35 When the heaven is restrained, and there is no rain, because they shall sin against you, and the shall pray toward this place, and they shall make confession to your name, and shall turn from their sins when you shall have humbled them,
Apabila umat-Mu berdosa kepada-Mu dan Engkau menghukum mereka dengan tidak menurunkan hujan lalu mereka bertobat dari dosa mereka dan menghormati Engkau sebagai TUHAN, kemudian menghadap ke rumah ibadat ini serta berdoa kepada-Mu,
36 then you shall hear from heaven, and be merciful to the sins of your servant and of your people Israel; for you shall show them the good way to walk in it, and you shall give rain upon the earth which you have given to your people for an inheritance.
kiranya dari surga Engkau mendengarkan mereka. Dan ampunilah dosa umat-Mu Israel dan raja mereka. Ajarlah mereka melakukan apa yang benar. Setelah itu, ya TUHAN, turunkanlah hujan ke negeri-Mu ini, negeri yang Kauberikan kepada umat-Mu untuk menjadi miliknya selama-lamanya.
37 If there should be famine, if there should be death, because there should be blasting, locust, or if there be mildew, and if their enemy oppress them in [any] one of their cities, [with regard to] every calamity, every trouble,
Apabila negeri ini dilanda kelaparan atau wabah, dan tanaman-tanaman dirusak oleh angin panas, hama atau serangan belalang, atau apabila umat-Mu diserang musuh, atau diserang penyakit,
38 every prayer, every supplication whatever shall be made by any man, as they shall know each the plague of his heart, and shall spread abroad his hands to this house,
semoga Engkau mendengarkan doa mereka. Kalau dari antara umat-Mu Israel ada yang dengan bersedih hati berdoa kepada-Mu sambil menengadahkan tangannya ke arah rumah ibadat ini,
39 then shall you listen from heaven, out of your established dwelling-place, and shall be merciful, and shall do, and recompense to [every] man according to his ways, as you shall know his heart, for you alone know the heart of all the children of men:
kiranya Engkau di dalam kediaman-Mu di surga mendengar serta mengampuni dan menolong mereka. Hanya Engkaulah yang mengenal isi hati manusia. Sebab itu perlakukanlah setiap orang setimpal perbuatan-perbuatan
40 that they may fear you all the days that they live upon the land, which you have given to our fathers.
supaya umat-Mu taat kepada-Mu selalu selama mereka tinggal di negeri yang Kauberikan kepada leluhur kami.
41 And for the stranger who is not of your people,
Apabila seorang asing di negeri yang jauh mendengar tentang kebesaran-Mu dan tentang keajaiban-keajaiban yang telah Kaulakukan untuk umat-Mu, lalu ia datang di rumah ibadat ini untuk menghormati Engkau dan berdoa kepada-Mu,
42 when they shall come and pray toward this place,
43 then shall you hear [them] from heaven, out of your established dwelling-place, and you shall do according to all that the stranger shall call upon you for, that all the nations may know your name, and fear you, as [do] your people Israel, and may know that your name has been called on this house which I have builded.
semoga dari kediaman-Mu di surga Engkau mendengarkan doanya dan mengabulkan permintaannya. Dengan demikian segala bangsa di seluruh dunia mengenal Engkau dan taat kepada-Mu seperti umat-Mu Israel. Mereka akan mengetahui bahwa rumah yang kubangun ini adalah tempat untuk beribadat kepada-Mu.
44 [If it be] that your people shall go forth to war against their enemies in the way by which you shall turn them, and pray in the name of the Lord toward the city which you have chosen, and the house which I have built to your name,
Apabila Engkau memerintahkan umat-Mu untuk pergi berperang melawan musuh, lalu di mana pun mereka berada, mereka menghadap ke kota pilihan-Mu ini dan berdoa ke arah rumah ini yang telah kubangun untuk-Mu,
45 then shall you hear from heaven their supplication and their prayer, and shall execute judgment for them.
semoga di surga Engkau mendengarkan doa mereka itu, dan memberikan kemenangan kepada mereka.
46 [If it be] that they shall sin against you, (for there is not a man who will not sin, ) and you shall bring them and deliver them up before their enemies, and they that take [them] captive shall carry [them] to a land far or near,
Apabila umat-Mu berdosa kepada-Mu--sesungguhnya tidak ada seorang pun yang tidak berdosa--lalu karena kemarahan-Mu Kaubiarkan mereka dikalahkan oleh musuh, dan dibawa sebagai tawanan ke suatu negeri yang jauh atau dekat,
47 and they shall turn their hearts in the land whither they have been carried captives, and turn in the land of their sojourning, and supplicate you, saying, We have sinned, we have done unjustly, we have transgressed,
semoga Engkau mendengarkan doa mereka. Jikalau di negeri itu mereka meninggalkan dosa-dosa mereka, dan berdoa kepada-Mu sambil mengakui bahwa mereka telah berdosa dan berbuat jahat, dengarkanlah doa mereka, ya TUHAN.
48 and they shall turn to you with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their enemies whither you have carried them captives, and shall pray to you toward their land which you have given to their fathers, and the city which you have chosen, and the house which I have built to your name:
Jikalau di negeri itu mereka dengan ikhlas dan sungguh-sungguh meninggalkan dosa-dosa mereka, dan berdoa kepada-Mu sambil menghadap ke negeri ini yang Kauberikan kepada leluhur kami, ke arah kota pilihan-Mu dan rumah ibadat yang telah kubangun untuk-Mu ini,
49 then shall you hear from heaven your established dwelling-place,
maka dari kediaman-Mu di surga hendaklah Engkau mendengar doa mereka dan mengasihani mereka.
50 and you shall be merciful to their unrighteousness wherein they have trespassed against you, and according to all their transgressions wherewith they have transgressed against you, and you shall cause them to be pitied before them that carried them captives, and they shall have compassion on them:
Ampunilah semua dosa dan kedurhakaan mereka terhadap-Mu, dan buatlah musuh-musuh mereka memperlakukan mereka dengan baik.
51 for [they are] your people and your inheritance, whom you brought out of the land of Egypt, out of the midst of the furnace of iron.
Mereka adalah umat-Mu sendiri yang telah Kaubawa keluar dari Mesir negeri di mana mereka disiksa.
52 And let your eyes and your ears be opened to the supplication of your servant, and to the supplication of your people Israel, to listen to them in all things for which they shall call upon you.
Semoga Engkau, ya TUHAN Allah, selalu memperhatikan umat-Mu Israel beserta rajanya. Dan sudilah Engkau mendengarkan doa mereka setiap kali mereka berseru minta tolong kepada-Mu.
53 Because you have set them apart for an inheritance to yourself out of all the nations of the earth, as you spoke by the hand of your servant Moses, when you brought our fathers out of the land of Egypt, O Lord God.
Engkau, ya TUHAN Allah, sudah memilih mereka dari antara segala bangsa untuk menjadi umat-Mu sendiri, seperti yang telah Kaukatakan kepada mereka melalui hamba-Mu Musa, ketika Engkau menuntun leluhur kami keluar dari Mesir."
54 And it came to pass when Solomon had finished praying to the Lord all this prayer and supplication, that he rose up from before the altar of the Lord, [after] having knelt upon his knees, and his hands [were] spread out towards heaven.
Demikianlah Salomo berdoa sambil berlutut di depan mezbah dan dengan tangan ditengadahkan ke atas. Sesudah itu ia berdiri
55 And he stood, and blessed all the congregation of Israel with a loud voice, saying,
dan dengan suara keras memohonkan berkat Allah untuk semua orang yang berkumpul di situ, katanya,
56 Blessed [be] the Lord this day, who has given rest to his people Israel, according to all that he said: there has not failed one word among all his good words which he spoke by the hand of his servant Moses.
"Terpujilah TUHAN yang telah memberikan ketentraman kepada umat-Nya seperti yang dijanjikan-Nya melalui Musa hamba-Nya. Semua yang baik yang dijanjikan-Nya telah ditepati-Nya.
57 May the Lord our God be with us, as he was with our fathers; let him not desert us nor turn from us,
Semoga TUHAN Allah kita menyertai kita sebagaimana Ia menyertai leluhur kita. Semoga Ia tidak meninggalkan kita.
58 that he may turn our hearts toward him to walk in all his ways, and to keep all his commandments, and his ordinances which he commanded our fathers.
Semoga Ia menjadikan kita orang-orang yang setia kepada-Nya supaya kita selalu hidup menurut kehendak-Nya dan taat kepada semua hukum dan perintah yang telah diberikan-Nya kepada leluhur kita.
59 And let these words, which I have prayed before the Lord our God, [be] near to the Lord our God day and night, to maintain the cause of your servant, and the cause of your people Israel for ever.
Semoga TUHAN, Allah kita, selalu ingat akan doa dan permohonan yang telah kusampaikan ini kepada-Nya. Semoga Ia selalu menunjukkan kemurahan-Nya kepada umat Israel dan rajanya dengan memberikan kepada mereka apa yang mereka perlukan setiap hari.
60 that all the nations of the earth may know that the Lord God, he [is] God, and there is none beside.
Dengan demikian segala bangsa di dunia akan tahu bahwa hanya TUHAN sendirilah Allah, tak ada yang lain.
61 And let our hearts be perfect toward the Lord our God, to walk also holily in his ordinances, and to keep his commandments, as at this day.
Hendaklah kalian, umat-Nya selalu setia kepada TUHAN, Allah kita dan taat kepada hukum-hukum dan perintah-perintah-Nya seperti yang kalian lakukan pada hari ini."
62 And the king and all the children of Israel offered sacrifice before the Lord.
Setelah itu Raja Salomo dan semua orang yang berkumpul di situ mempersembahkan kurban kepada TUHAN.
63 And king Solomon offered for the sacrifices of peace-offering which he sacrificed to the Lord, two and twenty thousand oxen, and hundred and twenty thousand sheep: and the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the house of the Lord.
Untuk kurban perdamaian Salomo mempersembahkan 22.000 sapi dan 120.000 domba. Demikianlah raja dan seluruh rakyat mengadakan upacara peresmian Rumah TUHAN.
64 In that day the king consecrated the middle of the court in the front of the house of the Lord; for there he offered the whole burnt offering, and the sacrifices, and the fat of the peace-offerings, because the brazen altar which was before the Lord [was too] little to bear the whole burnt offering and the sacrifices of peace-offerings.
Hari itu juga Salomo meresmikan bagian tengah pelataran yang di depan Rumah TUHAN itu. Kemudian di pelataran itu ia mempersembahkan kurban bakaran, kurban gandum, dan lemak binatang untuk kurban perdamaian. Semua itu dipersembahkannya di situ karena mezbah perunggu terlalu kecil untuk semua persembahan itu.
65 And Solomon kept the feast in that day, and all Israel with him, even a great assembly from the entering in of Hemath to the river of Egypt, before the Lord our God in the house which he built, eating and drinking, and rejoicing before the Lord our God seven days.
Di Rumah TUHAN itu Salomo dan seluruh umat Israel mengadakan perayaan Pondok Daun selama tujuh hari. Sangat besar jumlah orang yang berkumpul di situ. Mereka datang dari daerah sejauh Jalan Hamat di utara sampai ke perbatasan Mesir di selatan.
66 And on the eighth day he sent away the people: and they blessed the king, and each departed to his tabernacle rejoicing, and [their] heart [was] glad because of the good things which the Lord had done to his servant David, and to Israel his people.
Pada hari kedelapan Salomo menyuruh orang-orang itu pulang. Mereka semuanya memuji dia lalu kembali ke rumah mereka dengan hati yang gembira, karena semua berkat yang telah diberikan TUHAN kepada hamba-Nya Daud dan kepada bangsa Israel umat-Nya.
