2 Chronicles 7
1 Now when Solomon had finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offerings and sacrifices, and the glory of Yahweh filled the house.
Cumque complesset Salomon fundens preces, ignis descendit de cælo, et devoravit holocausta et victimas: et maiestas Domini implevit domum.
2 The priests could not enter the house of Yahweh, because his glory filled his house.
Nec poterant sacerdotes ingredi templum Domini, eo quod implesset maiestas Domini templum Domini.
3 When all the people of Israel saw the fire come down and the glory of Yahweh over the house, they bowed down with their faces to the ground on the stone pavement and worshiped and gave thanks to Yahweh. They said, “For he is good, for his covenant loyalty endures forever.”
Sed et omnes filii Israel videbant descendentem ignem, et gloriam Domini super domum: et corruentes proni in terram super pavimentum stratum lapide, adoraverunt, et laudaverunt Dominum: Quoniam bonus, quoniam in sæculum misericordia eius.
4 So the king and all the people offered sacrifices to Yahweh.
Rex autem, et omnis populus immolabant victimas coram Domino.
5 King Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty-two thousand oxen and 120,000 sheep and goats. So the king and all the people dedicated the house of God.
Mactavit igitur rex Salomon hostias, boum vigintiduo millia, arietum centum viginti millia: et dedicavit domum Dei rex, et universus populus.
6 The priests stood, each standing where they serve; the Levites also with instruments of music of Yahweh, which David the king had made to give thanks to Yahweh in the song, “For his covenant faithfulness endures for ever.” All the priests sounded trumpets before them, and all Israel stood.
Sacerdotes autem stabant in officiis suis: et Levitæ in organis carminum Domini, quæ fecit David rex ad laudandum Dominum: Quoniam in æternum misericordia eius, hymnos David canentes per manus suas: porro Sacerdotes canebant tubis ante eos, cunctusque Israel stabat.
7 Solomon set apart the middle of the courtyard in front of the house of Yahweh. There he offered the burnt offerings and the fat of the fellowship offerings, because the bronze altar that he had made was not able to hold the burnt offerings, the grain offerings, and the fat.
Sanctificavit quoque Salomon medium atrii ante templum Domini: obtulerat enim ibi holocausta et adipes pacificorum: quia altare æneum, quod fecerat, non poterat sustinere holocausta et sacrificia et adipes.
8 So Solomon held the festival at that time for seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great assembly, from Lebo Hamath to the brook of Egypt.
Fecit ergo Salomon sollemnitatem in tempore illo septem diebus, et omnis Israel cum eo, ecclesia magna valde, ab introitu Emath usque ad Torrentem Ægypti.
9 On the eighth day they held a solemn assembly, for they kept the dedication of the altar for seven days, and the feast for seven days.
Fecitque die octavo collectam, eo quod dedicasset altare septem diebus, et sollemnitatem celebrasset diebus septem.
10 On the twenty-third day of the seventh month, Solomon sent the people away to their homes with glad and joyful hearts because of the goodness that Yahweh had shown to David, Solomon, and Israel, his people.
Igitur in die vigesimo tertio mensis septimi dimisit populos ad tabernacula sua, lætantes atque gaudentes super bono, quod fecerat Dominus Davidi, et Salomoni, et Israeli populo suo.
11 Thus Solomon finished the house of Yahweh and his own house. Everything that came into Solomon's heart to make in the house of Yahweh and in his own house, he successfully carried out.
Complevitque Salomon domum Domini, et domum regis, et omnia quæ disposuerat in corde suo, ut faceret in domo Domini, et in domo sua, et prosperatus est.
12 Yahweh appeared to Solomon by night and said to him, “I have heard your prayer, and I have chosen this place for myself as a house of sacrifice.
Apparuit autem ei Dominus nocte, et ait: Audivi orationem tuam, et elegi locum istum mihi in domum sacrificii.
13 Suppose that I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send disease among my people,
Si clausero cælum, et pluvia non fluxerit, et mandavero et præcepero locustæ, ut devoret terram, et misero pestilentiam in populum meum:
14 then if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.
conversus autem populus meus, super quos invocatum est nomen meum, deprecatus me fuerit, et exquisierit faciem meam, et egerit pœnitentiam a viis suis pessimis: et ego exaudiam de cælo, et propitius ero peccatis eorum, et sanabo terram eorum.
15 Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers that are made in this place.
Oculi quoque mei erunt aperti, et aures meæ erectæ ad orationem eius, qui in loco isto oraverit.
16 For I have now chosen and set apart this house that my name may be there forever. My eyes and my heart will be there every day.
Elegi enim, et sanctificavi locum istum, ut sit nomen meum ibi in sempiternum, et permaneant oculi mei, et cor meum ibi cunctis diebus.
17 As for you, if you walk before me as David your father walked, obeying all that I have commanded you and keeping my statutes and my decrees,
Tu quoque si ambulaveris coram me, sicut ambulaverit David pater tuus, et feceris iuxta omnia, quæ præcepi tibi, et iustitias meas iudiciaque servaveris:
18 then I will establish the throne of your kingdom, as I said in a covenant with David your father, when I said, 'A descendant of yours will never fail to be ruler in Israel.'
suscitabo thronum regni tui, sicut pollicitus sum David patri tuo, dicens: Non auferetur de stirpe tua vir, qui sit princeps in Israel.
19 But if you turn away, and forsake my statutes and my commandments that I have placed before you, and if you go worship other gods and bow down to them,
Si autem aversi fueritis, et dereliqueritis iustitias meas, et præcepta mea, quæ proposui vobis, et abeuntes servieritis diis alienis, et adoraveritis eos,
20 then I will uproot them from out of my ground that I have given them. This house that I have set apart for my name, I will cast away from before me, and I will make it a proverb and a joke among all the peoples.
evellam vos de terra mea, quam dedi vobis: et domum hanc, quam sanctificavi nomini meo, proiiciam a facie mea, et tradam eam in parabolam, et in exemplum cunctis populis.
21 Even though this temple is so lofty now, everyone who passes by it will be shocked and will hiss. They will ask, 'Why has Yahweh done this to this land and to this house?'
Et domus ista erit in proverbium universis transeuntibus, et dicent stupentes: Quare fecit Dominus sic terræ huic, et domui huic?
22 Others will answer, 'Because they forsook Yahweh, their God, who had brought their ancestors out of the land of Egypt, and they laid hold of other gods and bowed down to them and worshiped them. That is why Yahweh has brought all this disaster on them.'”
Respondebuntque: Quia dereliquerunt Dominum Deum patrum suorum, qui eduxit eos de Terra Ægypti, et apprehenderunt deos alienos, et adoraverunt eos, et coluerunt: idcirco venerunt super eos universa hæc mala.
