2 Chronicles 7

1 And just as finished Solomon to pray and the fire it came down from the heavens and it consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices and [the] glory of Yahweh it filled the house.

And when Solomon had completed pouring out his prayers, fire descended from heaven, and it devoured the holocausts and the victims. And the majesty of the Lord filled the house.

2 And not they were able the priests to go into [the] house of Yahweh for it filled [the] glory of Yahweh [the] house of Yahweh.

Neither were the priests able to enter into the temple of the Lord, because the majesty of the Lord had filled the temple of the Lord.

3 And all - [the] people of Israel [were] seeing when came down the fire and [the] glory of Yahweh [was] over the house and they bowed down face [the] ground towards on the pavement and they bowed down and to give thanks to Yahweh for [he is] good for [is] for ever covenant loyalty his.

Moreover, all the sons of Israel saw the fire descending, and the glory of the Lord upon the house. And falling prone upon the ground, on the layer of pavement stones, they adored and praised the Lord: “For he is good. For his mercy is everlasting.”

4 And the king and all the people [were] sacrificing sacrifice[s] before Yahweh.

Then the king and all the people were immolating victims before the Lord.

5 And he sacrificed the king Solomon [the] sacrifice of cattle twenty and two thousand and sheep one hundred and twenty thousand and they dedicated [the] house of God the king and all the people.

And so, king Solomon slaughtered victims: twenty-two thousand oxen, and one hundred twenty thousand rams. And the king and the entire people dedicated the house of God.

6 And the priests on duties their [were] standing and the Levites with [the] instruments of song of Yahweh which he had made David the king to give thanks to Yahweh for [is] for ever covenant loyalty his when praised David by hand their and the priests ([were] blowing a trumpet *Q(k)*) before them and all Israel [were] standing.

Then the priests and the Levites were standing in their offices, with the instruments of music for the Lord, which king David made in order to praise the Lord: “For his mercy is eternal.” And they were playing the hymns of David with their hands. And the priests were sounding out with trumpets before them, and all of Israel was standing.

7 And he consecrated Solomon [the] middle of the courtyard which [was] before [the] house of Yahweh for he offered there the burnt offerings and [the] fat of the peace offerings for [the] altar of bronze which he had made Solomon not it was able to contain the burnt offering and the grain offering and the fat.

Also, Solomon sanctified the middle of the atrium in front of the temple of the Lord. For he had offered the holocausts and the fat of peace offerings in that place because the bronze altar, which he had made, had not been able to support the holocausts and the sacrifices and the fat.

8 And he observed Solomon the festival at the time that seven days and all Israel [was] with him an assembly great very from Lebo Hamath to [the] wadi of Egypt.

Therefore, Solomon kept the solemnity, at that time, for seven days, and all of Israel with him, a very great assembly, from the entrance of Hamath, even to the torrent of Egypt.

9 And they observed on the day eighth an assembly for - [the] dedication of the altar they had observed seven days and the festival seven days.

And on the eighth day, he held a solemn gathering, because he had dedicated the altar over seven days, and he had celebrated the solemnity over seven days.

10 And on day twenty and three of the month seventh he sent away the people to tents their joyful and good of heart on the good which he had done Yahweh for David and for Solomon and for Israel people his.

And so, on the twenty-third day of the seventh month, he dismissed the people to their dwellings, joyful and glad over the good that the Lord had done for David, and for Solomon, and for his people Israel.

11 And he finished Solomon [the] house of Yahweh and [the] house of the king and every [thing which] was coming on [the] heart of Solomon to do in [the] house of Yahweh and in own house his he made successful.

And Solomon completed the house of the Lord, and the house of the king, and all that he had resolved in his heart to do for the house of the Lord, and for his own house. And he prospered.

12 And he appeared Yahweh to Solomon in the night and he said to him I have heard prayer your and I have chosen the place this for myself for a house of sacrifice.

Then the Lord appeared to him by night, and said: “I have heard your prayer, and I have chosen this place for myself as a house of sacrifice.

13 Here! I will shut up the heavens and not it will be rain and here! I will command to [the] grasshopper to devour the land and if I will send pestilence among people my.

If I close up heaven, so that no rain will fall, or if I order and instruct the locust to devour the land, or if I send a pestilence among my people,

14 So they may humble themselves people my which it has been called name my on them so they may pray and they may seek face my so they may turn from ways their wicked and I I will hear from the heavens so I may forgive sin their so I may heal land their.

and if my people, over whom my name has been invoked, being converted, will have petitioned me and sought my face, and will have done penance for their wicked ways, then I will heed them from heaven, and I will forgive their sins, and I will heal their land.

15 Now eyes my they will be open and ears my attentive to [the] prayer of the place this.

Also, my eyes will be open, and my ears will be attentive, to the prayer of him who shall pray in this place.

16 And now I have chosen and I have consecrated the house this to be name my there until perpetuity and they will be eyes my and heart my there all the days.

For I have chosen and sanctified this place, so that my name may be there continually, and so that my eyes and my heart may remain there, for all days.

17 And you if you will walk before me just as he walked David father your and to do according to all that I have commanded you and statutes my and judgments my you will observe.

And as for you, if you will walk before me, just as your father David walked, and if you will act in accord with all that I have instructed you, and if you will observe my justices and judgments,

18 And I will establish [the] throne of kingdom your just as I made to David father your saying not it will be cut off to you a man [who] rules over Israel.

I will raise up the throne of your kingdom, just as I promised to your father David, saying: ‘There shall not be taken away a man from your stock who will be ruler in Israel.’

19 And if you will turn away! you and you will forsake statutes my and commandments my which I have set before you and you will go and you will serve gods other and you will bow down to them.

But if you will have turned away, and will have forsaken my justices and my precepts, which I have set before you, and going astray, you serve strange gods, and you adore them,

20 And I will pluck up them from on land my which I have given to them and the house this which I have consecrated for name my I will throw away from on face my and I will make it into a byword and into a taunt among all the peoples.

I will uproot you from my land, which I gave to you, and from this house, which I sanctified to my name, and I will cast it away from before my face, and I will deliver it to be a parable and an example for all the peoples.

21 And the house this which it was most high to every [one who] passes by at it he will be appalled and he will say how? did he do Yahweh thus to the land this and to the house this.

And this house will be like a proverb to all who pass by. And being astonished, they shall say: ‘Why has the Lord acted this way toward this land and toward this house?’

22 And people will say on that they forsook Yahweh - [the] God of ancestors their who he brought out them from [the] land of Egypt and they took hold on gods other and they bowed down to them and they served them there-fore he has brought on them all the calamity this.

And they shall respond: ‘Because they abandoned the Lord, the God of their fathers, who led them away from the land of Egypt, and they took hold of foreign gods, and they adored and worshipped them. Therefore, all these evils have overwhelmed them.’”
