1 Kings 8

1 Then Solomon assembles the elderly of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, princes of the fathers of the sons of Israel, to King Solomon, to Jerusalem, to bring up the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH from the City of David—it [is] Zion;

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 and all the men of Israel are assembled to King Solomon, in the month of Ethanim, in the festival (the seventh month).

Maka datanglah mereka semua pada Hari Raya Pondok Daun dalam bulan Etanim.

3 And all [the] elderly of Israel come in, and the priests lift up the Ark,

Setelah semua pemimpin itu berkumpul, para imam mengangkat Peti Perjanjian itu,

4 and bring up the Ark of YHWH, and the Tent of Meeting, and all the holy vessels that [are] in the tent, indeed, the priests and the Levites bring them up.

dan membawanya ke Rumah TUHAN. Kemah TUHAN serta semua perlengkapannya dipindahkan juga ke Rumah TUHAN oleh para imam dan orang Lewi.

5 And King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel who are assembled to him [are] with him before the Ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that are not counted nor numbered for multitude.

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 of the Covenant of YHWH to its place, to the oracle of the house, to the Holy of Holies, to the place of the wings of the cherubim;

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 cherubim are spreading forth two wings to the place of the Ark, and the cherubim cover over the Ark, and over its poles from above;

Sayap patung-patung itu terbentang menutupi peti itu dan kayu-kayu pengusungnya.

8 and they lengthen the poles, and the heads of the poles are seen from the holy [place] on the front of the oracle, and are not seen outside, and they are there to this day.

Kayu pengusung itu panjang sekali, sehingga ujung-ujungnya terlihat dari depan Ruang Mahasuci. (Sampai hari ini kayu-kayu itu masih di situ.)

9 There is nothing in the Ark, only the two tablets of stone which Moses put there in Horeb when YHWH covenanted with the sons of Israel in their going out of 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 comes to pass, in the going out of the priests from the holy [place], that the cloud has filled the house of YHWH,

Pada saat para imam keluar dari Rumah TUHAN itu tiba-tiba rumah itu dipenuhi awan.

11 and the priests have not been able to stand to minister because of the cloud, for the glory of YHWH has filled the house of YHWH.

Awan itu berkilauan oleh keagungan kehadiran TUHAN sehingga para imam itu tak dapat masuk kembali untuk melaksanakan tugas mereka.

12 Then Solomon said, “YHWH has said [He is] to dwell in thick darkness;

Maka berdoalah Salomo, katanya, "Engkaulah yang menempatkan surya di langit, ya TUHAN. Namun Engkau lebih suka tinggal dalam kegelapan awan.

13 I have surely built a house of habitation for You; a fixed place for Your abiding for all ages.”

Kini kubangun untuk-Mu gedung yang megah, untuk tempat tinggal-Mu selama-lamanya."

14 And the king turns his face around, and blesses the whole assembly of Israel; and all the assembly of Israel is standing.

Setelah berdoa, Raja Salomo berpaling kepada seluruh rakyat yang sedang berdiri di situ, lalu memohonkan berkat Allah bagi mereka.

15 And he says, “Blessed [is] YHWH, God of Israel, who spoke by His mouth with my father David, and by His hand has fulfilled [it], 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, even Israel, from Egypt, I have not fixed on a city out of all the tribes of Israel, to build a house for My Name being there; and I fix on David to be over My people Israel.

17 And it is with the heart of my father David to build a house for the Name of YHWH, God of Israel,

Selanjutnya Salomo berkata, "Ayahku Daud telah merencanakan untuk membangun rumah tempat ibadat kepada TUHAN Allah Israel.

18 and YHWH says to my father David, Because that it has been with your heart to build a house for My Name, you have done well that it has been with your heart;

Tetapi TUHAN berkata kepadanya, 'Maksudmu itu baik.

19 only, you do not build the house, but your son who is coming out from your loins, he builds the house for My Name.

Tetapi, bukan engkau, melainkan anakmulah yang akan membangun rumah-Ku itu.'

20 And YHWH establishes His word which He spoke, and I am risen up instead of my father David, and I sit on the throne of Israel, as YHWH spoke, and build the house for the Name of YHWH, 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 set a place for the Ark there, where the covenant of YHWH [is], which He made with our fathers in His bringing them out from 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 stands before the altar of YHWH, in front of all the assembly of Israel, and spreads his hands toward the heavens,

Setelah itu, di hadapan rakyat yang hadir, Salomo berdiri menghadap mezbah lalu mengangkat kedua tangannya

23 and says, “YHWH, God of Israel, there is not a God like You, in the heavens above and on the earth below, keeping the covenant and the kindness for Your servants, those walking before You with all their 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 for Your servant, my father David, that which You spoke to him; indeed, You speak with Your mouth, and with Your hand have fulfilled [it], as [at] this day.

Engkau telah menepati janji-Mu kepada ayahku Daud. Apa yang Kaujanjikan itu sudah Kaulaksanakan hari ini.

25 And now, YHWH, God of Israel, keep for Your servant, my father David, that which You spoke to him, saying, A man of yours is never cut off from before My face, sitting on the throne of Israel—only, if your sons watch their way, 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 God of Israel, please let Your word be established which You have spoken to Your servant, my father David.

27 But is it true [that] God dwells on the earth? Behold, the heavens and the heavens of the heavens cannot contain You, how much less this house which I have built!

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 Then You have turned to the prayer of Your servant, and to his supplication, O YHWH my God, to listen to the cry and to the prayer which Your servant is praying before You today,

Ya TUHAN, Allahku, aku hamba-Mu! Namun dengarkanlah kiranya doaku, dan kabulkanlah permohonanku hari ini.

29 for Your eyes being open toward this house night and day, toward the place of which You have said, My Name is there; to listen to the prayer which Your servant prays toward this place.

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 Then You have listened to the supplication of Your servant, and of Your people Israel, which they pray toward this place; indeed, You listen in the place of Your dwelling, in the heavens—and You have listened, and have forgiven,

31 that which a man sins against his neighbor, and he has lifted up an oath on him to cause him to swear, and the oath has come in 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 You hear in the heavens, and have done, and have judged Your servants, to declare wicked the wicked, to put his way on his [own] head, and to declare righteous the righteous, to give 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 In Your people Israel being struck before an enemy, because they sin against You, and they have turned back to You, and have confessed Your Name, and prayed, and made supplication to You 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 you hear in the heavens, and have forgiven the sin of Your people Israel, and brought them back to the ground that 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 In the heavens being restrained, and there is no rain, because they sin against You, and they have prayed toward this place, and confessed Your Name, and turn back from their sin, for You afflict 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 hear in the heavens, and have forgiven the sin of Your servants, and of Your people Israel, for You direct them [to] the good way in which they go, and have given rain on Your land which You have given to Your people for 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 Famine—when it is in the land; pestilence—when it is [in the land]; blasting, mildew, locust; caterpillar—when it is [in the land]; when its enemy has distressed it in the land [in] its gates, any plague, any sickness—

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 any prayer, any supplication that [is] of any man of all Your people Israel, each who knows the plague of his own heart, and has spread his hands toward 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 You hear in the heavens, the settled place of Your dwelling, and have forgiven, and have done, and have given to each according to all his ways, whose heart You know (for You have known—You alone—the heart of all the sons of man),

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 so that they fear You all the days that they are living on the face of the ground that 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 also, to the stranger who is not of Your people Israel, and has come from a far-off land for Your Name’s sake—

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 for they hear of Your great Name, and of Your strong hand, and of Your outstretched arm—and he has come in and prayed toward this house,

43 You hear in the heavens, the settled place of Your dwelling, and have done according to all that the stranger calls to You for, in order that all the peoples of the earth may know Your Name, to fear You like Your people Israel, and to know that Your Name has been called on this house which I have built.

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 When Your people go out to battle against its enemy, in the way that You send them, and they have prayed to YHWH [in] the way of the city which you have fixed on, and of the house which I have built for 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 You have heard their prayer and their supplication in the heavens, and have maintained their cause.

semoga di surga Engkau mendengarkan doa mereka itu, dan memberikan kemenangan kepada mereka.

46 When they sin against You (for there is not a man who does not sin), and You have been angry with them, and have given them up before an enemy, and they have taken captive their captivity to the land of the enemy far off 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 have turned [it] back to their heart in the land to where they have been taken captive, and have turned back, and made supplication to You in the land of their captors, saying, We have sinned and done perversely—we have done wickedly;

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 indeed, they have turned back to You with all their heart and with all their soul, in the land of their enemies who have taken them captive, and have prayed to You [in] the way of their land, which You gave to their fathers, the city which You have chosen, and the house which I have built for 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 You have heard in the heavens, the settled place of Your dwelling, their prayer and their supplication, and have maintained their cause,

maka dari kediaman-Mu di surga hendaklah Engkau mendengar doa mereka dan mengasihani mereka.

50 and have forgiven Your people who have sinned against You, even all their transgressions which they have transgressed against You, and have given them mercies before their captors, and they have had mercy [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 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 for Your eyes being open to the supplication of Your servant, and to the supplication of Your people Israel, to listen to them in all they call to You for;

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 for You have separated them to Yourself for an inheritance, out of all the peoples of the earth, as You spoke by the hand of Your servant Moses, in Your bringing out our fathers from Egypt, O Lord YHWH.”

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 comes to pass, at Solomon’s finishing to pray to YHWH all this prayer and supplication, he has risen from before the altar of YHWH, from bending on his knees and [having] his hands spread out to the heavens,

Demikianlah Salomo berdoa sambil berlutut di depan mezbah dan dengan tangan ditengadahkan ke atas. Sesudah itu ia berdiri

55 and he stands and blesses all the assembly of Israel [with] a loud voice, saying,

dan dengan suara keras memohonkan berkat Allah untuk semua orang yang berkumpul di situ, katanya,

56 “Blessed [is] YHWH who has given rest to His people Israel, according to all that He has spoken; not [even] one word has fallen of all His good word, 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 Our God YHWH is with us as He has been with our fathers; He does not forsake us nor leave us;

Semoga TUHAN Allah kita menyertai kita sebagaimana Ia menyertai leluhur kita. Semoga Ia tidak meninggalkan kita.

58 to incline our heart to Himself, to walk in all His ways, and to keep His commands, and His statutes, and His judgments, 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 these, my words, with which I have made supplication before YHWH, are near to our God YHWH by day and by night, to maintain the cause of His servant, and the cause of His people Israel, the matter of a day in its day,

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 peoples of the earth may know that He, YHWH, [is] God; there is none else;

Dengan demikian segala bangsa di dunia akan tahu bahwa hanya TUHAN sendirilah Allah, tak ada yang lain.

61 and your heart has been perfect with our God YHWH, to walk in His statutes, and to keep His commands, 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 Israel with him are sacrificing a sacrifice before YHWH;

Setelah itu Raja Salomo dan semua orang yang berkumpul di situ mempersembahkan kurban kepada TUHAN.

63 and Solomon sacrifices the sacrifice of peace-offerings, which he has sacrificed to YHWH: twenty-two thousand oxen and one hundred and twenty thousand sheep; and the king and all the sons of Israel dedicate the house of YHWH.

Untuk kurban perdamaian Salomo mempersembahkan 22.000 sapi dan 120.000 domba. Demikianlah raja dan seluruh rakyat mengadakan upacara peresmian Rumah TUHAN.

64 On that day the king has sanctified the middle of the court that [is] before the house of YHWH, for he has made the burnt-offering, and the present, and the fat of the peace-offerings there; for the altar of bronze that [is] before YHWH [is] too small to contain the burnt-offering, and the present, and the fat of the 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 makes, at that time, the festival—and all Israel with him, a great assembly from the entering in of Hamath to the Brook of Egypt—before our God YHWH, [for] seven days and seven [more] days—fourteen 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 On the eighth day he has sent the people away, and they bless the king, and go to their tents, rejoicing and glad of heart for all the good that YHWH has done to His servant David, and to His people Israel.

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.
