2 Chronicles 6
1 Then he said Solomon Yahweh he has said to dwell in thick darkness.
那時，所羅門說： 耶和華曾說他必住在幽暗之處。
2 And I I have built a house of loftiness for you and a place to dwell in you forever.
但我已經建造殿宇作你的居所， 為你永遠的住處。
3 And he turned the king face his and he blessed all [the] assembly of Israel and all [the] assembly of Israel [was] standing.
王轉臉為以色列會眾祝福，以色列會眾就都站立。
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.
所羅門說：「耶和華－以色列的上帝是應當稱頌的！因他親口向我父大衛所應許的，也親手成就了。
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.
他說：『自從我領我民出埃及地以來，我未曾在以色列眾支派中選擇一城建造殿宇為我名的居所，也未曾揀選一人作我民以色列的君；
6 And I have chosen Jerusalem to be name my there and I have chosen David to be over people my Israel.
但選擇耶路撒冷為我名的居所，又揀選大衛治理我民以色列。』」
7 And it was with [the] heart of David father my to build a house for [the] name of Yahweh [the] God of Israel.
所羅門說：「我父大衛曾立意要為耶和華－以色列上帝的名建殿，
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.
耶和華卻對我父大衛說：『你立意要為我的名建殿，這意思甚好；
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.
只是你不可建殿，惟你所生的兒子必為我名建殿。』
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.
「現在耶和華成就了他所應許的話，使我接續我父大衛坐以色列的國位，是照耶和華所說的，又為耶和華－以色列上帝的名建造了殿。
11 And I have put there the ark where [is] there [the] covenant of Yahweh which he made with [the] people of Israel.
我將約櫃安置在其中，櫃內有耶和華的約，就是他與以色列人所立的約。」
12 And he stood before [the] altar of Yahweh before all [the] assembly of Israel and he spread out hands his.
所羅門當着以色列會眾，站在耶和華的壇前，舉起手來，
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.
（所羅門曾造一個銅臺，長五肘，寬五肘，高三肘，放在院中）就站在臺上，當着以色列的會眾跪下，向天舉手，
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：「耶和華－以色列的上帝啊，天上地下沒有神可比你的！你向那盡心行在你面前的僕人守約施慈愛；
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.
向你僕人－我父大衛所應許的話現在應驗了。你親口應許，親手成就，正如今日一樣。
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.
耶和華－以色列的上帝啊，你所應許你僕人－我父大衛的話說：『你的子孫若謹慎自己的行為，遵守我的律法，像你在我面前所行的一樣，就不斷人坐以色列的國位。』現在求你應驗這話。
17 And now O Yahweh [the] God of Israel let it be established word your which you spoke to servant your to David.
耶和華－以色列的上帝啊，求你成就向你僕人大衛所應許的話。
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.
「上帝果真與世人同住在地上嗎？看哪，天和天上的天尚且不足你居住的，何況我所建的這殿呢？
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.
惟求耶和華－我的上帝垂顧僕人的禱告祈求，俯聽僕人在你面前的祈禱呼籲。
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.
願你晝夜看顧這殿，就是你應許立為你名的居所；求你垂聽僕人向此處禱告的話。
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.
你僕人和你民以色列向此處祈禱的時候，求你從天上你的居所垂聽，垂聽而赦免。
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.
「人若得罪鄰舍，有人叫他起誓，他來到這殿，在你的壇前起誓，
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.
求你從天上垂聽，判斷你的僕人，定惡人有罪，照他所行的報應在他頭上；定義人有理，照他的義賞賜他。
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.
「你的民以色列若得罪你，敗在仇敵面前，又回心轉意承認你的名，在這殿裏向你祈求禱告，
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.
求你從天上垂聽，赦免你民以色列的罪，使他們歸回你賜給他們和他們列祖之地。
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.
「你的民因得罪你，你懲罰他們，使天閉塞不下雨，他們若向此處禱告，承認你的名，離開他們的罪，
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.
求你在天上垂聽，赦免你僕人和你民以色列的罪，將當行的善道指教他們，且降雨在你的地，就是你賜給你民為業之地。
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.
「國中若有饑荒、瘟疫、旱風、霉爛、蝗蟲、螞蚱，或有仇敵犯境，圍困城邑，無論遭遇甚麼災禍疾病，
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.
你的民以色列，或是眾人，或是一人，自覺災禍甚苦，向這殿舉手，無論祈求甚麼，禱告甚麼，
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.
求你從天上你的居所垂聽赦免。你是知道人心的，要照各人所行的待他們（惟有你知道世人的心），
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.
使他們在你賜給我們列祖之地上一生一世敬畏你，遵行你的道。
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.
「論到不屬你民以色列的外邦人，為你的大名和大能的手，並伸出來的膀臂，從遠方而來，向這殿禱告，
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.
求你從天上你的居所垂聽，照着外邦人所祈求的而行，使天下萬民都認識你的名，敬畏你，像你的民以色列一樣，又使他們知道我建造的這殿是稱為你名下的。
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.
「你的民若奉你的差遣，無論往何處去與仇敵爭戰，向你所選擇的城與我為你名所建造的殿禱告，
35 And you will hear from the heavens prayer their and supplication their and you will do justice their.
求你從天上垂聽他們的禱告祈求，使他們得勝。
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.
「你的民若得罪你（世上沒有不犯罪的人），你向他們發怒，將他們交給仇敵擄到或遠或近之地；
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.
他們若在擄到之地想起罪來，回心轉意，懇求你說：『我們有罪了，我們悖逆了，我們作惡了』；
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.
他們若在擄到之地盡心盡性歸服你，又向自己的地，就是你賜給他們列祖之地和你所選擇的城，並我為你名所建造的殿禱告，
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.
求你從天上你的居所垂聽你民的禱告祈求，為他們伸冤，赦免他們的過犯。

「我的上帝啊，現在求你睜眼看，側耳聽在此處所獻的禱告。
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.
耶和華上帝啊，求你起來， 和你有能力的約櫃同入安息之所。 耶和華上帝啊，願你的祭司披上救恩； 願你的聖民蒙福歡樂。
