2 Chronicles 6
1 Then he said Solomon Yahweh he has said to dwell in thick darkness.
當時撒羅滿說：「上主曾決定：要住在幽暗之中；
2 And I I have built a house of loftiness for you and a place to dwell in you forever.
我卻為你建築了一個居所，作為你永久的住處」。[撒羅滿的訓辭]
3 And he turned the king face his and he blessed all [the] assembly of Israel and all [the] assembly of Israel [was] standing.
撒羅滿轉過臉來，祝福了以色列全會眾；以色列全會眾都站著，
4 And he said [be] blessed Yahweh [the] God of Israel who he spoke with mouth his with David father my and by hands his he has fulfilled saying.
撒羅滿說：「上主，以色列的天主，應受讚美! 他親口對我父親達味應許過，也親手完成了說：
5 Since the day when I brought out people my from [the] land of Egypt not I have chosen a city from all [the] tribes of Israel to build a house to be name my there and not I have chosen a person to be ruler over people my Israel.
自從我領我的百姓出離埃及地的那天起，沒有在以色列各支派中，選擇一城，為建造一座作我名下的殿，也沒有揀選一個人作領袖，管理我的百姓以色列。
6 And I have chosen Jerusalem to be name my there and I have chosen David to be over people my Israel.
可是，我選擇了耶路撒冷作為安置我名之處，揀選了達味管理我的百姓以色列。
7 And it was with [the] heart of David father my to build a house for [the] name of Yahweh [the] God of Israel.
我父親達味原有意為上主以色列天主的名建造一座殿，
8 And he said Yahweh to David father my because that it was with heart your to build a house for name my you did well for it was with heart your.
但上主卻對我父親達味說：你有意為我的名建造一座殿，你這番心意固然很好，
9 Only you not you will build the house for son your who comes out from loins your he he will build the house for name my.
但不是你要建造這殿，而是你親生的兒子，他要為我的名建造這殿。
10 And he has established Yahweh word his which he spoke and I have arisen in place of David father my and I have sat - on [the] throne of Israel just as he spoke Yahweh and I have built the house for [the] name of Yahweh [the] God of Israel.
現在上主實現了他所說的話，使我來繼承了我父親達味，坐上了以色列的寶座，正如上主所預許的；我也為上主以色列天主的名建造了這座殿，
11 And I have put there the ark where [is] there [the] covenant of Yahweh which he made with [the] people of Israel.
將約櫃安放在裏面；約櫃內有上主與以色列子民所立的約版。」[祈禱詞]
12 And he stood before [the] altar of Yahweh before all [the] assembly of Israel and he spread out hands his.
以後，撒羅滿當著以色列全會眾的面，站在上主的祭壇前，伸開手，─
13 For he had made Solomon a platform of bronze and he had put it in [the] middle of the precinct [was] five cubits length its and [was] five cubits breadth its and [was] cubits three height its and he stood on it and he knelt down on knees his before all [the] assembly of Israel and he spread out hands his the heavens towards.
因為撒羅滿製造了一座銅台，長五肘，寬五肘，高三肘，安置在庭院中央，他立在上面，當著以色列全會眾的面，屈膝跪拜，舉手向天，─
14 And he said O Yahweh [the] God of Israel there not like you [is] a God in the heavens and on the earth [who] keeps the covenant and covenant loyalty to servants your who walk before you with all heart their.
說「上主，以色列的天主! 上天下地，沒有一個神可與你相比。你對那些一心在你面前行走的僕人，常是遵守信約，表示慈愛。
15 Who you have kept to servant your David father my [that] which you spoke to him and you spoke with mouth your and by hand your you have fulfilled as the day this.
你對你僕人，我父親達味所應許的，你都履行了；你親口應許的，你也親手成就了，正如今天一樣。
16 And now O Yahweh - [the] God of Israel keep to servant your David father my [that] which you spoke to him saying not it will be cut off to you a man from to before me [who] sits on [the] throne of Israel only if they will guard descendants your way their to walk in law my just as you have walked before me.
上主，以色列的天主! 你曾說：只要你的子孫謹守他們的道路，按照我的法律行走，如你在我面前行走一樣，你決斷不了在我前坐以色列王位的人；現在求你實踐你對你僕人，我父親達味所說的話罷!
17 And now O Yahweh [the] God of Israel let it be established word your which you spoke to servant your to David.
上主，以色列的天主，現在求你使你向你僕人達味所應許過的話，予以實現罷!
18 For ¿ really will he dwell God with humankind on earth here! heaven and [the] heavens of the heavens not they will contain you indeed? for the house this which I have built.
天主實在與人住在地上嗎﹖看，天和天上的天，尚且容不下你，何況我所建造的這座殿宇呢!
19 And you will turn to [the] prayer of servant your and to supplication his O Yahweh God my to listen to the cry of entreaty and to the prayer which servant your [is] praying before you.
上主，我的天主，請垂允你僕人的祈禱和懇求! 俯聽你僕人在你面前所發的呼號和祈禱!
20 To be eyes your open to the house this by day and night to the place where you have said to put name your there to listen to the prayer which he will pray servant your to the place this.
願你的眼睛晝夜垂視這座殿，看顧你所說，你要安置你名的地方；求你垂聽你僕人向這地方所行的祈禱!
21 And you will listen to [the] supplications of servant your and people your Israel which they will pray to the place this and you you will hear from [the] place of dwelling you from the heavens and you will hear and you will forgive.
願你垂聽你僕人與你百姓以色列向這地方所發的哀禱，求你從天上，由你的居所，予以垂聽，垂聽和寬恕!
22 If he will sin anyone to neighbor his and he will impose on him an oath to put under an oath him and he will come he will swear an oath before altar your in the house this.
若有人得罪了自己的鄰人，被迫以咒詞起誓，而來到這殿內，在你祭壇前起誓，
23 And you - you will hear from the heavens and you will act and you will judge servants your to repay to a guilty [person] to requite conduct his on own head his and to vindicate a righteous [person] to give to him according to righteousness his.
求你由天上垂聽受理，為你的僕人伸冤：懲治惡人，照他所行的，報應在他頭上；宣告義人無罪，照他的正義酬報他。
24 And if it will be defeated people your Israel before an enemy for they will sin to you and they will return and they will praise name your and they will pray and they will seek favor before you in the house this.
如果你的百姓以色列，因為得罪了你，在敵人面前被擊敗；他們如果回心轉意稱頌你的名，在這殿內向你祈禱懇求，
25 And you you will hear from the heavens and you will forgive [the] sin of people your Israel and you will bring back them to the land which you gave to them and to ancestors their.
願你從天上予以垂聽，寬恕你百姓以色列的罪，領他們回到你賜給他們並他們祖先的地方!
26 When are shut up the heavens and not it will be rain for they will sin to you and they will pray to the place this and they will praise name your from sin their they will turn back! for you will afflict them.
幾時他們犯罪得罪了你，天空閉塞不雨，你懲罰了他們；他們如果向這地方祈禱，稱頌你的名，遠離罪過，
27 And you - you will hear the heavens and you will forgive [the] sin of servants your and people your Israel that you will direct them to the way good which they will walk in it and you will give rain on land your which you gave to people your for an inheritance.
求你從天上垂聽，赦免你僕人及你百姓以色列的罪，指給他們應走的正路，使雨降仔你賜予你百姓作為基業的地上。
28 Famine if it will be in the land pestilence for it will be blight and mildew locust[s] and locust[s] for it will be that he will lay siege to it enemies its in [the] land of gates its any plague and any sickness.
如果此地發生饑饉、瘟疫，五穀枯萎生霉，或遭受蝗蟲或螞蚱，或有敵人犯境圍困門下，或不拘遭受什麼災禍疾病，
29 Every prayer every supplication which it will belong to any person and to all people your Israel who they will know everyone own plague his and own pain his and he will spread out hands his to the house this.
你的百姓以色列，個人或團體，如果感覺內疚和痛苦，而向這殿伸出手來祈禱哀求，
30 And you you will hear from the heavens [the] place of dwelling you and you will forgive and you will give to the person according to all ways his whom you will know heart his for you to alone you you know [the] heart of [the] children of humankind.
願你從天上，你的居所，予以俯聽寬恕，照每人的一切行為，予以賞報，因為你認識每個人的心，─唯有你認識人子的心，
31 So that they may fear you to walk in ways your all the days which they [are] alive on [the] surface of the land which you gave to ancestors our.
使他們在你賜予我們祖先的地上，一生一世敬畏你，在你的道路上行走!
32 And also to the foreigner who not [is] one of people your Israel he and he will come - from a land distant for [the] sake of name your great and hand your mighty and arm your outstretched and they will come and they will pray to the house this.
至於那不屬於你百姓以色列的外方人，為了你的大名，你有力的手及伸開的臂，自遠方來，在這殿內祈禱，
33 And you you will hear from the heavens from [the] place of dwelling you and you will do according to all that he will call out to you the foreigner so that they may know all [the] peoples of the earth name your and to fear you like people your Israel and to know that name your it has been called on the house this which I have built.
願你從天上，你的居所垂聽，按照外方人所請求於你的去行! 這樣，可使地上萬民都認識你的名，敬畏你，如同你的百姓以色列一樣；使他們知道我所建造的這殿，是屬於你名下的。
34 If it will go forth people your for battle on enemies its by the way which you will send them and they will pray to you [the] direction of the city this which you have chosen it and the house which I have built for name your.
你的人民，如果在你派遣他們走的路上與敵人交戰，而他們向你所揀選的這城，向我為你的名所建造的這殿，祈求你，
35 And you will hear from the heavens prayer their and supplication their and you will do justice their.
願你從天上俯聽他們的祈禱和哀求，維護他們的正義!
36 If they will sin to you for there not [is] anyone who not he sins and you will be angry with them and will you deliver up them before an enemy and they will take captive them captors their to a land distant or near.
如果他們犯罪得罪了你，─因為沒有不犯罪的人，─你向他們發怒，將他們交於仇敵，讓敵人將他們擄到遠方或近處。
37 And they will bring back to heart their in the land where they have been taken captive there and they will repent - and they will seek favor to you in [the] land of captivity their saying we have sinned we have done wrong and we have acted wickedly.
他們若在被擄往的地方，回心轉意，在充軍之地，懇求你說：我們犯了罪，我們作了惡，做了背理的事；
38 And they will return to you with all heart their and with all being their in [the] land of captivity their where they took captive them and they will pray [the] direction of land their which you gave to ancestors their and the city which you have chosen and to the house which I have built for name your.
如果他們在被擄充軍之地，全心全意歸向你，向你賜給他們祖先的地方，向你所揀選的這城，向我為你的名所建造的這殿祈禱，
39 And you will hear from the heavens from [the] place of dwelling you prayer their and supplications their and you will do justice their and you will forgive people your who they have sinned to you.
願你從天上，你的居所，垂聽他們的祈禱和懇求，維護他們的正義，寬恕得罪你的百姓!
40 Now O God my let them be please eyes your open and ears your attentive to [the] prayer of the place this.
現在，我的天主，願你的眼睛睜著，側耳諦聽在這地方所行的祈禱!
41 And now arise! O Yahweh God to resting place your you and [the] ark of strength your priests your O Yahweh God may they be clothed salvation and faithful [people] your may they rejoice in the good.
現在，上主天主，願你起來，願你與你那大能的約櫃進入你安息之所! 上主天主，願你的司祭身披救援，願你的聖徒在幸福中歡樂!
42 O Yahweh God may not you turn away [the] faces of anointed [one] your remember! [the] covenant loyalti of David servant your.
上主天主，求你不要摒棄你的受傅者，記念你賜予你僕人達味的慈愛! 」
