2 Chronicles 6

1 Then Solomon said, “YHWH said [He would] dwell in thick darkness,

Raja Salomo berdoa, "Ya TUHAN, Engkau lebih suka tinggal dalam kegelapan awan.

2 and I have built a house of habitation for You, and a fixed place for Your dwelling for all ages.”

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

3 And the king turns around his face, and blesses the whole assembly of Israel, and the whole assembly of Israel is standing,

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

4 and he says, “Blessed [is] YHWH, God of Israel, who has spoken with His mouth with my father David, and with His hands has fulfilled [it], saying,

Ia berkata, "Dahulu TUHAN telah berjanji kepada ayahku Daud begini, 'Sejak Aku membawa umat-Ku ke luar dari Mesir sampai pada hari ini, di negeri Israel tidak ada satu kota pun yang Kupilih menjadi tempat di mana harus dibangun rumah untuk tempat ibadat kepada-Ku, dan tidak seorang pun yang Kupilih untuk memimpin umat-Ku Israel. Tetapi sekarang Aku memilih Yerusalem sebagai tempat ibadah kepada-Ku. Dan engkau, Daud, Kupilih untuk memerintah umat-Ku.' Terpujilah TUHAN Allah Israel yang sudah menepati janji-Nya itu!"

5 From the day that I brought out My people from the land of Egypt, I have not fixed on a city out of any of the tribes of Israel to build a house for my name being there, and I have not fixed on a man to be leader over My people Israel;

6 and I fix on Jerusalem for My Name being there, and I fix on David to be over My people Israel.

7 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.

8 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.

9 but you do not build the house, for your son who comes forth out from your loins, he builds the house for My Name.

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

10 And YHWH establishes His word that He spoke, and I rise up in the stead of my father David, and sit on the throne of Israel, as YHWH spoke, and I 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.

11 and I place the Ark there, where the covenant of YHWH [is] that He made with the sons of Israel.”

Di dalam Rumah TUHAN itu telah kusediakan tempat untuk Peti Perjanjian yang berisi batu perjanjian antara TUHAN dengan umat Israel."

12 And he stands before the altar of YHWH, in front of all the assembly of Israel, and spreads out his hand—

Salomo telah membuat panggung perunggu di tengah-tengah halaman Rumah TUHAN. Panjangnya dan lebarnya 2,2 meter, dan tingginya 1,3 meter. Di hadapan rakyat yang hadir, Salomo menaiki panggung itu, dan berdiri menghadap mezbah. Semua orang dapat melihatnya. Kemudian ia berlutut, lalu mengangkat kedua tangannya serta menadahkannya ke langit dan berdoa,

13 for Solomon has made a scaffold of bronze, and puts it in the midst of the court, five cubits its length, and five cubits its breadth, and three cubits its height, and he stands on it, and kneels on his knees in front of all the assembly of Israel, and spreads forth his hands toward the heavens—

14 and says, “O YHWH God of Israel, there is not like You a god in the heavens and in the earth, keeping the covenant and the kindness for Your servants who are walking before You with all their heart;

"TUHAN, Allah Israel! Di langit ataupun 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.

15 who has 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.

16 And now, O 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 in My law, as you have walked before Me.

Engkau juga telah berjanji kepada ayahku bahwa kalau keturunannya sungguh-sungguh taat kepada hukum-Mu seperti dia, maka untuk selama-lamanya seorang dari keturunannya akan memerintah sebagai raja di Israel. Sekarang, ya TUHAN Allah Israel, tepatilah juga semua yang telah Kaujanjikan kepada ayahku Daud, hamba-Mu itu.

17 And now, O YHWH, God of Israel, let Your word be steadfast that You have spoken to Your servant, to David.

18 For is it true [that] God dwells with man on the earth? Behold, the heavens, and the heavens of the heavens, do not contain You, how much less this house that I have built?

Tetapi, ya Allah, sungguhkah Engkau sudi tinggal di bumi ini di antara manusia? Langit seluruhnya pun tak cukup luas untuk-Mu, apalagi rumah ibadat yang kubangun ini!

19 And 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 that Your servant is praying before You,

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

20 for Your eyes being open toward this house by day and by night, toward the place that You have said to put Your Name there, to listen to the prayer that 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 Israel, umat-Mu itu, apabila kami menghadap rumah ini dan berdoa kepada-Mu.

21 And You have listened to the supplications of Your servant, and of Your people Israel, that they pray toward this place, and You hear from the place of Your dwelling, from the heavens, and have listened, and forgiven.

22 If 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-Mu ini untuk bersumpah bahwa ia tidak bersalah,

23 then You hear from the heavens, and have done, and have judged Your servants, to give back to the wicked, to put his way on his head, and to declare righteous 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 dan bebaskanlah yang tidak bersalah.

24 And if Your people Israel is struck before an enemy because they sin against You, and they have turned back and confessed Your Name, and prayed and made supplication before You in this house—

Apabila umat-Mu Israel dikalahkan oleh musuh-musuhnya karena mereka berdosa, lalu menyesal dan menghormati Engkau lagi sebagai TUHAN, kemudian datang ke Rumah-Mu ini serta berdoa mohon ampun kepada-Mu,

25 then You hear from the heavens and have forgiven the sin of Your people Israel, and caused them to return to the ground that You have given to them, and 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 mereka dan kepada leluhur mereka.

26 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] they turn back from their sin because 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-Mu ini serta berdoa kepada-Mu,

27 then You hear in the heavens, and have forgiven the sin of Your servants, and of Your people Israel, because You direct them to the good way in which they walk, and have given rain on Your land that You have given to Your people for an inheritance.

ya TUHAN di surga, dengarkanlah mereka. Dan ampunilah dosa hamba-hamba-Mu umat Israel. 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.

28 Famine, when it is in the land, [and] pestilence, when it is [in the land], blasting and mildew, locust and caterpillar, when they are [in the land], when its enemies have distressed it in the land—its gates, any plague and any sickness;

Apabila negeri ini dilanda kelaparan atau wabah, atau tanaman-tanaman dirusak oleh angin panas, hama atau serangga belalang, atau apabila umat-Mu diserang musuh, atau diserang penyakit,

29 any prayer, any supplication that is for any man, and for all Your people Israel, when they each know his own plague, and his own pain, and he has spread out 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-Mu ini,

30 then You hear from the heavens, the settled place of Your dwelling, and have forgiven, and have given to each according to all his ways (because You know his heart, for You alone have known the heart of the sons of men),

kiranya Engkau di dalam kediaman-Mu di surga mendengar serta mengampuni mereka. Hanya Engkaulah yang mengenal isi hati manusia. Sebab itu perlakukanlah setiap orang setimpal perbuatan-perbuatannya,

31 so that they fear You, to walk in Your ways, all the days that they are living on the face of the ground that You have given to our fathers.

supaya umat-Mu takut dan taat kepada-Mu selalu selama mereka tinggal di negeri yang Kauberikan kepada leluhur kami.

32 And also, to the stranger who is not of Your people Israel, and he has come from a far-off land for the sake of Your great Name, and Your strong hand, and Your outstretched arm, and they have come in and prayed toward this house—

Apabila seorang asing di negeri yang jauh mendengar tentang keagungan dan kekuatan-Mu, dan bahwa Engkau selalu siap untuk menolong, lalu ia datang di Rumah-Mu ini untuk berdoa kepada-Mu,

33 then You hear from the heavens, from the settled place of Your dwelling, and have done according to all that the stranger calls to You for, so that all the peoples of the earth know Your Name, so as to fear You, as Your people Israel, and to know that Your Name is called on this house that 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 inilah tempat untuk beribadat kepada-Mu.

34 When Your people go out to battle against its enemies in the way that You send them, and they have prayed to You [in] the way of this city that You have fixed on, and the house that 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,

35 then You have heard their prayer and their supplication from the heavens, and have maintained their cause.

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

36 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 before an enemy, and their captors have taken them captive to a land 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,

37 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 captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have done perversely, and 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.

38 indeed, they have turned back to You with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their captivity, to where they have taken them captive, and they have prayed [in] the way of their land that You have given to their fathers, and of the city that You have chosen, and of the house that 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,

39 then You have heard from the heavens, from the settled place of Your dwelling, their prayer and their supplications, and have maintained their cause, and forgiven Your people who have sinned against You.

maka dari kediaman-Mu di surga hendaklah Engkau mendengar doa mereka dan mengasihani mereka. Ampunilah semua dosa umat-Mu.

40 Now my God, I implore You, let Your eyes be open and Your ears attentive to the prayer of this place.

Kini, ya Allahku, perhatikanlah kami dan dengarkanlah doa-doa yang disampaikan kepada-Mu dari tempat ini.

41 And now, rise, O YHWH God, to Your rest, You and the Ark of Your strength; Your priests, O YHWH God, are clothed with salvation, and Your saints rejoice in the goodness.

Bangkitlah sekarang, ya TUHAN Allah! Dan bersama dengan Peti Perjanjian yang melambangkan kuasa-Mu itu hendaklah Engkau memasuki rumah-Mu ini dan tinggal di sini untuk selama-lamanya. Berkatilah segala pekerjaan imam-imam-Mu, dan semoga seluruh umat-Mu berbahagia karena Engkau baik kepada mereka.

42 O YHWH God, do not turn back the face of Your anointed, be mindful of the kind acts of Your servant David.”

TUHAN Allah, janganlah Kautolak raja yang telah Kaupilih ini. Ingatlah akan kasih-Mu kepada Daud hamba-Mu."
