< 2 Chronicles 7 >
1 And whanne Salomon schedynge preyeris hadde fillid, fier cam doun fro heuene, and deuouride brent sacrifices, and slayn sacrifices; and the maieste of the Lord fillide the hows.
所羅門祈禱已畢,就有火從天上降下來,燒盡燔祭和別的祭。耶和華的榮光充滿了殿;
2 And preestis myyten not entre in to the temple of the Lord; for the maieste of the Lord hadde fillid the temple of the Lord.
因耶和華的榮光充滿了耶和華殿,所以祭司不能進殿。
3 But also alle the sones of Israel sien fier comynge doun, and the glorie of the Lord on the hows, and thei felden down lowe to the erthe on the pawment araied with stoon, and thei worschipiden, and preisiden the Lord, For he is good, for his merci is in to al the world.
那火降下、耶和華的榮光在殿上的時候,以色列眾人看見,就在鋪石地俯伏叩拜,稱謝耶和華說: 耶和華本為善, 他的慈愛永遠長存!
4 Forsothe the kyng and al the puple offriden slayn sacrifices bifor the Lord.
王和眾民在耶和華面前獻祭。
5 Therfor king Salomon killide sacrifices of oxis two and twenti thousynd, of wetheris sixe score thousynde; and the kyng and al the puple halewiden the hows of God.
所羅門王用牛二萬二千,羊十二萬獻祭。這樣,王和眾民為上帝的殿行奉獻之禮。
6 Forsothe the preestis stoden in her offices, and dekenes in orguns of songis of the Lord, whiche kyng Dauid made to preise the Lord, For his merci is in to the world; and thei sungen the ympnes of Dauid bi her hondis; sotheli the prestis sungen with trumpis bifor hem, and al the puple of Israel stood.
祭司侍立,各供其職;利未人也拿着耶和華的樂器,就是大衛王造出來、藉利未人頌讚耶和華的。(他的慈愛永遠長存!)祭司在眾人面前吹號,以色列人都站立。
7 Therfor Salomon halewide the myddil of the large place bifor the temple of the Lord; for he hadde offrid there brent sacrifices, and the ynnere fatnesses of pesible sacrifices, for the brasun auter which he hadde maad myyte not susteyne the brent sacrifices, and sacrifices, and the innere fatnessis of pesible sacrifices.
所羅門因他所造的銅壇容不下燔祭、素祭,和脂油,便將耶和華殿前院子當中分別為聖,在那裏獻燔祭和平安祭牲的脂油。
8 Therfor Salomon made a solempnyte in that tyme in seuene dayes, and al Israel with hym, a ful greete chirche, fro the entryng of Emath `til to the stronde of Egipt.
那時所羅門和以色列眾人,就是從哈馬口直到埃及小河,所有的以色列人都聚集成為大會,守節七日。
9 And in the eiythe dai he made a gaderyng of money, `that is, for necessaries of the temple, for he hadde halewid the auter in seuene daies, and `hadde maad solempnytee in seuene daies.
第八日設立嚴肅會,行奉獻壇的禮七日,守節七日。
10 Therfor in the thre and twentithe dai of the seuenthe monethe he lete the puplis go to her tabernaclis, ioiynge and gladynge on the good that God hadde do to Dauid, and to Salomon, and to his puple Israel.
七月二十三日,王遣散眾民;他們因見耶和華向大衛和所羅門與他民以色列所施的恩惠,就都心中喜樂,各歸各家去了。
11 And Salomon parformyde the hows of the Lord, and the hows of the kyng, and alle thingis which he hadde disposid in his herte for to do in the hows of the Lord and in his owne hows; and he hadde prosperite.
所羅門造成了耶和華殿和王宮;在耶和華殿和王宮凡他心中所要做的,都順順利利地做成了。
12 Forsothe the Lord aperide to hym in the nyyt, and seide, Y haue herd thi preiere, and Y haue chose this place to me in to an hows of sacrifice.
夜間耶和華向所羅門顯現,對他說:「我已聽了你的禱告,也選擇這地方作為祭祀我的殿宇。
13 If Y close heuene, and reyn cometh not doun, and if Y sende, and comaunde to a locuste, that he deuoure the lond, and if Y send pestilence in to my puple;
我若使天閉塞不下雨,或使蝗蟲吃這地的出產,或使瘟疫流行在我民中,
14 forsothe if my puple is conuertid, on whiche my name is clepid, and if it bisechith me, and sekith my face, and doith penaunce of hise werste weies, Y schal here fro heuene, and Y schal be merciful to the synnes of hem, and Y schal heele the lond of hem.
這稱為我名下的子民,若是自卑、禱告,尋求我的面,轉離他們的惡行,我必從天上垂聽,赦免他們的罪,醫治他們的地。
15 And myn iyen schulen be openyd, and myn eeren schulen be reisid to the preiere of hym, that preieth in this place;
我必睜眼看、側耳聽在此處所獻的禱告。
16 for Y haue chose, and halewid this place, that my name be there with outen ende, and that myn iyen and myn herte dwelle there in alle daies.
現在我已選擇這殿,分別為聖,使我的名永在其中,我的眼、我的心也必常在那裏。
17 Also if thou gost bifore me, as Dauid thi fadir yede, and doist bi alle thingis whiche Y comaundide to thee, and kepist my riytwisnessis and domes, Y schal reise the trone of thi rewme,
你若在我面前效法你父大衛所行的,遵行我一切所吩咐你的,謹守我的律例典章,
18 as Y bihiyte to Dauid thi fadir, and seide, A man of thi generacioun schal not be takun awei, that schal be prince in Israel.
我就必堅固你的國位,正如我與你父大衛所立的約,說:『你的子孫必不斷人作以色列的王。』
19 But if ye turnen awey, and forsake my riytwisnessis and my comaundementis whiche Y settide forth to you, and ye goen, and seruen alien goddis, and worschipen hem,
「倘若你們轉去丟棄我指示你們的律例誡命,去事奉敬拜別神,
20 Y schal drawe you awey fro my lond, which Y yaf to you, and Y schal caste awey fro my face this hows which Y haue bildid to my name, and Y schal yyue it in to a parable, and in to ensaumple to alle puplis.
我就必將以色列人從我賜給他們的地上拔出根來,並且我為己名所分別為聖的殿也必捨棄不顧,使他在萬民中作笑談,被譏誚。
21 And this hows schal be in to a prouerbe to alle men passynge forth; and thei schulen seie, wondringe, Whi dide the Lord so to this lond, and to this hows?
這殿雖然甚高,將來經過的人必驚訝說:『耶和華為何向這地和這殿如此行呢?』
22 And thei schulen answere, For thei forsoken the Lord God of her fadris, that ledde hem out of the lond of Egipt, and thei token alien goddis, and worschipiden, and herieden hem; therfor alle these yuelis camen on hem.
人必回答說:『是因此地的人離棄耶和華-他們列祖的上帝,就是領他們出埃及地的上帝,去親近別神,敬拜事奉他,所以耶和華使這一切災禍臨到他們。』」
