1 Kings 8
1 Then doth Solomon assemble the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, princes of the fathers of the sons of Israel, unto king Solomon, to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah from the city of David — it [is] Zion;
那时，所罗门将以色列的长老和各支派的首领，并以色列的族长，招聚到耶路撒冷，要把耶和华的约柜从大卫城—就是锡安—运上来。
2 and all the men of Israel are assembled unto king Solomon, in the month of Ethanim, in the festival — [is] the seventh month.
以他念月，就是七月，在节前，以色列人都聚集到所罗门王那里。
3 And all the elders of Israel come in, and the priests lift up the ark,
以色列长老来到，祭司便抬起约柜，
4 and bring up the ark of Jehovah, and the tent of meeting, and all the holy vessels that [are] in the tent, yea, the priests and the Levites bring them up.
祭司和利未人将耶和华的约柜运上来，又将会幕和会幕的一切圣器具都带上来。
5 And king Solomon and all the company of Israel who are met unto him [are] with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that are not counted nor numbered for multitude.
所罗门王和聚集到他那里的以色列全会众，一同在约柜前献牛羊为祭，多得不可胜数。
6 And the priests bring in the ark of the covenant of Jehovah unto its place, unto the oracle of the house, unto the holy of holies, unto the place of the wings of the cherubs;
祭司将耶和华的约柜抬进内殿，就是至圣所，放在两个基路伯的翅膀底下。
7 for the cherubs are spreading forth two wings unto the place of the ark, and the cherubs cover over the ark, and over its staves from above;
基路伯张着翅膀在约柜之上，遮掩约柜和抬柜的杠。
8 and they lengthen the staves, and the heads of the staves are seen from the holy [place] on the front of the oracle, and are not seen without, and they are there unto this day.
这杠甚长，杠头在内殿前的圣所可以看见，在殿外却不能看见，直到如今还在那里。
9 There is nothing in the ark, only the two tables of stone which Moses put there in Horeb, when Jehovah covenanted with the sons of Israel in their going out of the land of Egypt.
约柜里惟有两块石版，就是以色列人出埃及地后，耶和华与他们立约的时候摩西在何烈山所放的。除此以外，并无别物。
10 And it cometh to pass, in the going out of the priests from the holy [place], that the cloud hath filled the house of Jehovah,
祭司从圣所出来的时候，有云充满耶和华的殿；
11 and the priests have not been able to stand to minister because of the cloud, for the honour of Jehovah hath filled the house of Jehovah.
甚至祭司不能站立供职，因为耶和华的荣光充满了殿。
12 Then said Solomon, 'Jehovah hath said to dwell in thick darkness;
那时所罗门说： 耶和华曾说， 他必住在幽暗之处。
13 I have surely built a house of habitation for Thee; a fixed place for Thine abiding to the ages.'
我已经建造殿宇作你的居所， 为你永远的住处。
14 And the king turneth round his face, and blesseth the whole assembly of Israel; and all the assembly of Israel is standing.
王转脸为以色列会众祝福，以色列会众就都站立。
15 And he saith, 'Blessed [is] Jehovah, God of Israel, who spake by His mouth with David my father, and by His hand hath fulfilled [it], saying,
所罗门说：“耶和华—以色列的 神是应当称颂的！因他亲口向我父大卫所应许的，也亲手成就了。
16 From the day that I brought out My people, even Israel, from Egypt, I have not fixed on a city out of all the tribes of Israel, to build a house for My name being there; and I fix on David to be over My people Israel.
他说：‘自从我领我民以色列出埃及以来，我未曾在以色列各支派中选择一城建造殿宇—为我名的居所，但拣选大卫治理我民以色列。’”
17 'And it is with the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of Jehovah, God of Israel,
所罗门说：“我父大卫曾立意，要为耶和华—以色列 神的名建殿。
18 and Jehovah saith unto David my father, Because that it hath been with thy heart to build a house for My name, thou hast done well that it hath been with thy heart;
耶和华却对我父大卫说：‘你立意为我的名建殿，这意思甚好。
19 only, thou dost not build the house, but thy son who is coming out from thy loins, he doth build the house for My name.
只是你不可建殿，惟你所生的儿子必为我名建殿。’
20 'And Jehovah doth establish His word which He spake, and I am risen up instead of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as Jehovah spake, and build the house for the name of Jehovah, God of Israel,
现在耶和华成就了他所应许的话，使我接续我父大卫坐以色列的国位，又为耶和华—以色列 神的名建造了殿。
21 and set there a place for the ark, where [is] the covenant of Jehovah which He made with our fathers in His bringing them out from the land of Egypt.'
我也在其中为约柜预备一处。约柜内有耶和华的约，就是他领我们列祖出埃及地的时候，与他们所立的约。”
22 And Solomon standeth before the altar of Jehovah, over-against all the assembly of Israel, and spreadeth his hands towards the heavens,
所罗门当着以色列会众，站在耶和华的坛前，向天举手说：
23 and saith, 'Jehovah, God of Israel, there is not a God like Thee, in the heavens above, and on the earth beneath, keeping the covenant and the kindness for Thy servants, those walking before Thee with all their heart,
“耶和华—以色列的 神啊，天上地下没有神可比你的！你向那尽心行在你面前的仆人守约施慈爱；
24 who hast kept for Thy servant David my father that which Thou spakest to him; yea, Thou speakest with Thy mouth, and with Thy hand hast fulfilled [it], as [at] this day.
向你仆人—我父大卫所应许的话现在应验了。你亲口应许，亲手成就，正如今日一样。
25 'And now, Jehovah, God of Israel, keep for Thy servant David my father that which Thou spakest to him, saying, There is not cut off to thee a man from before Me, sitting on the throne of Israel — only, if thy sons watch their way, to walk before Me as thou hast walked before Me.
耶和华—以色列的 神啊，你所应许你仆人—我父大卫的话说：‘你的子孙若谨慎自己的行为，在我面前行事像你所行的一样，就不断人坐以色列的国位。’现在求你应验这话。
26 'And now, O God of Israel, let it be established, I pray Thee, Thy word which Thou hast spoken to Thy servant, David my father.
以色列的 神啊，求你成就向你仆人—我父大卫所应许的话。
27 But, is it true? — God dwelleth on the earth! lo, the heavens, and the heavens of the heavens do not contain Thee, how much less this house which I have builded!
“神果真住在地上吗？看哪，天和天上的天尚且不足你居住的，何况我所建的这殿呢？
28 'Then thou hast turned unto the prayer of Thy servant, and unto his supplication, O Jehovah my God, to hearken unto the cry and unto the prayer which Thy servant is praying before Thee to-day,
惟求耶和华—我的 神垂顾仆人的祷告祈求，俯听仆人今日在你面前的祈祷呼吁。
29 for Thine eyes being open towards this house night and day, towards the place of which Thou hast said, My Name is there; to hearken unto the prayer which Thy servant prayeth towards this place.
愿你昼夜看顾这殿，就是你应许立为你名的居所；求你垂听仆人向此处祷告的话。
30 'Then Thou hast hearkened unto the supplication of Thy servant, and of Thy people Israel, which they pray towards this place; yea, Thou dost hearken in the place of Thy dwelling, in the heavens — and Thou hast hearkened, and hast forgiven,
你仆人和你民以色列向此处祈祷的时候，求你在天上你的居所垂听，垂听而赦免。
31 that which a man sinneth against his neighbour, and he hath lifted up upon him an oath to cause him to swear, and the oath hath come in before Thine altar in this house,
“人若得罪邻舍，有人叫他起誓，他来到这殿在你的坛前起誓，
32 then Thou dost hear in the heavens, and hast done, and hast judged Thy servants, to declare wicked the wicked, to put his way on his head, and to declare righteous the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.
求你在天上垂听，判断你的仆人：定恶人有罪，照他所行的报应在他头上；定义人有理，照他的义赏赐他。
33 'In Thy people Israel being smitten before an enemy, because they sin against Thee, and they have turned back unto Thee, and have confessed Thy name, and prayed, and made supplication unto Thee in this house,
“你的民以色列若得罪你，败在仇敌面前，又归向你，承认你的名，在这殿里祈求祷告，
34 then thou dost hear in the heavens, and hast forgiven the sin of Thy people Israel, and brought them back unto the ground that Thou gavest to their fathers.
求你在天上垂听，赦免你民以色列的罪，使他们归回你赐给他们列祖之地。
35 'In the heavens being restrained, and there is no rain, because they sin against Thee, and they have prayed towards this place, and confessed Thy name, and from their sin turn back, for Thou dost afflict them,
“你的民因得罪你，你惩罚他们，使天闭塞不下雨；他们若向此处祷告，承认你的名，离开他们的罪，
36 then Thou dost hear in the heavens, and hast forgiven the sin of Thy servants, and of Thy people Israel, for Thou directest them the good way in which they go, and hast given rain on Thy land which Thou hast given to Thy people for inheritance.
求你在天上垂听，赦免你仆人以色列民的罪，将当行的善道指教他们，且降雨在你的地，就是你赐给你民为业之地。
37 'Famine — when it is in the land; pestilence — when it is; blasting, mildew, locust; caterpillar — when it is; when its enemy hath distressed it in the land [in] its gates, any plague, any sickness, —
“国中若有饥荒、瘟疫、旱风、霉烂、蝗虫、蚂蚱，或有仇敌犯境围困城邑，无论遭遇什么灾祸疾病，
38 any prayer, any supplication that [is] of any man of all Thy people Israel, who know each the plague of his own heart, and hath spread his hands towards this house,
你的民以色列，或是众人，或是一人，自觉有罪，向这殿举手，无论祈求什么，祷告什么，
39 then Thou dost hear in the heavens, the settled place of Thy dwelling, and hast forgiven, and hast done, and hast given to each according to all his ways, whose heart Thou knowest, (for Thou hast known — Thyself alone — the heart of all the sons of man),
求你在天上你的居所垂听赦免。你是知道人心的，要照各人所行的待他们（惟有你知道世人的心），
40 so that they fear Thee all the days that they are living on the face of the ground that Thou hast given to our fathers.
使他们在你赐给我们列祖之地上一生一世敬畏你。
41 'And also, unto the stranger who is not of Thy people Israel, and hath come from a land afar off for Thy name's sake —
“论到不属你民以色列的外邦人，为你名从远方而来，
42 (for they hear of Thy great name, and of Thy strong hand, and of Thy stretched-out arm) — and he hath come in and prayed towards this house,
（他们听人论说你的大名和大能的手，并伸出来的膀臂）向这殿祷告，
43 Thou dost hear in the heavens, the settled place of Thy dwelling, and hast done according to all that the stranger calleth unto Thee for, in order that all the peoples of the earth may know Thy name, to fear Thee like Thy people Israel, and to know that Thy name hath been called on this house which I have builded.
求你在天上你的居所垂听，照着外邦人所祈求的而行，使天下万民都认识你的名，敬畏你像你的民以色列一样；又使他们知道我建造的这殿是称为你名下的。
44 'When Thy people doth go out to battle against its enemy, in the way that Thou dost send them, and they have prayed unto Jehovah the way of the city which thou hast fixed on, and of the house which I have builded for Thy name;
“你的民若奉你的差遣，无论往何处去与仇敌争战，向耶和华所选择的城与我为你名所建造的殿祷告，
45 then Thou hast heard in the heavens their prayer and their supplication, and hast maintained their cause.
求你在天上垂听他们的祷告祈求，使他们得胜。
46 'When they sin against Thee (for there is not a man who sinneth not), and Thou hast been angry with them, and hast given them up before an enemy, and they have taken captive their captivity unto the land of the enemy far off or near;
“你的民若得罪你（世上没有不犯罪的人），你向他们发怒，将他们交给仇敌掳到仇敌之地，或远或近，
47 and they have turned [it] back unto their heart in the land whither they have been taken captive, and have turned back, and made supplication unto Thee, in the land of their captors, saying, We have sinned and done perversely — we have done wickedly;
他们若在掳到之地想起罪来，回心转意，恳求你说：‘我们有罪了，我们悖逆了，我们作恶了’；
48 yea, they have turned back unto Thee, with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their enemies who have taken them captive, and have prayed unto Thee the way of their land, which Thou gavest to their fathers, the city which Thou hast chosen, and the house which I have builded for Thy name:
他们若在掳到之地尽心尽性归服你，又向自己的地，就是你赐给他们列祖之地和你所选择的城，并我为你名所建造的殿祷告，
49 'Then Thou hast heard in the heavens, the settled place of Thy dwelling, their prayer and their supplication, and hast maintained their cause,
求你在天上你的居所垂听他们的祷告祈求，为他们伸冤；
50 and hast forgiven Thy people who have sinned against Thee, even all their transgressions which they have transgressed against Thee, and hast given them mercies before their captors, and they have had mercy [on] them —
饶恕得罪你的民，赦免他们的一切过犯，使他们在掳他们的人面前蒙怜恤。
51 (for Thy people and Thy inheritance [are] they, whom Thou didst bring out of Egypt, out of the midst of the furnace of iron) —
因为他们是你的子民，你的产业，是你从埃及领出来脱离铁炉的。
52 for Thine eyes being open unto the supplication of Thy servant, and unto the supplication of Thy people Israel, to hearken unto them in all they call unto Thee for;
愿你的眼目看顾仆人，听你民以色列的祈求，无论何时向你祈求，愿你垂听。
53 for Thou hast separated them to Thyself for an inheritance, out of all the peoples of the earth, as Thou didst speak by the hand of Moses Thy servant, in Thy bringing out our fathers from Egypt, O Lord Jehovah.'
主耶和华啊，你将他们从地上的万民中分别出来作你的产业，是照你领我们列祖出埃及的时候，借你仆人摩西所应许的话。”
54 And it cometh to pass, at Solomon's finishing to pray unto Jehovah all this prayer and supplication, he hath risen from before the altar of Jehovah, from bending on his knees, and his hands spread out to the heavens,
所罗门在耶和华的坛前屈膝跪着，向天举手，在耶和华面前祷告祈求已毕，就起来，
55 and he standeth and blesseth all the assembly of Israel [with] a loud voice, saying,
站着，大声为以色列全会众祝福，说：
56 'Blessed [is] Jehovah who hath given rest to His people Israel, according to all that He hath spoken; there hath not fallen one word of all His good word, which He spake by the hand of Moses his servant.
“耶和华是应当称颂的！因为他照着一切所应许的赐平安给他的民以色列人，凡借他仆人摩西应许赐福的话，一句都没有落空。
57 'Jehovah our God is with us as He hath been with our fathers; He doth not forsake us nor leave us;
愿耶和华—我们的 神与我们同在，像与我们列祖同在一样，不撇下我们，不丢弃我们，
58 to incline our heart unto Himself, to walk in all His ways, and to keep His commands, and His statutes, and His judgments, which He commanded our fathers;
使我们的心归向他，遵行他的道，谨守他吩咐我们列祖的诫命、律例、典章。
59 and these my words with which I have made supplication before Jehovah, are near unto Jehovah our God by day and by night, to maintain the cause of His servant, and the cause of His people Israel, the matter of a day in its day;
我在耶和华面前祈求的这些话，愿耶和华—我们的 神昼夜垂念，每日为他仆人与他民以色列伸冤，
60 for all the peoples of the earth knowing that Jehovah, He [is] God; there is none else;
使地上的万民都知道惟独耶和华是 神，并无别神。
61 and your heart hath been perfect with Jehovah our God, to walk in His statutes, and to keep His commands, as [at] this day.'
所以你们当向耶和华—我们的 神存诚实的心，遵行他的律例，谨守他的诫命，至终如今日一样。”
62 And the king and all Israel with him are sacrificing a sacrifice before Jehovah;
王和以色列众民一同在耶和华面前献祭。
63 and Solomon sacrificeth the sacrifice of peace-offerings, which he hath sacrificed to Jehovah, oxen, twenty and two thousand, and sheep, a hundred and twenty thousand; and the king and all the sons of Israel dedicate the house of Jehovah.
所罗门向耶和华献平安祭，用牛二万二千，羊十二万。这样，王和以色列众民为耶和华的殿行奉献之礼。
64 On that day hath the king sanctified the middle of the court that [is] before the house of Jehovah, for he hath made there the burnt-offering, and the present, and the fat of the peace-offerings; for the altar of brass that [is] before Jehovah [is] too little to contain the burnt-offering, and the present, and the fat of the peace-offerings.
当日，王因耶和华殿前的铜坛太小，容不下燔祭、素祭，和平安祭牲的脂油，便将耶和华殿前院子当中分别为圣，在那里献燔祭、素祭，和平安祭牲的脂油。
65 And Solomon maketh, at that time, the festival — and all Israel with him, a great assembly from the entering in of Hamath unto the brook of Egypt — before Jehovah our God, seven days and seven days; fourteen days.
那时，所罗门和以色列众人，就是从哈马口直到埃及小河所有的以色列人，都聚集成为大会，在耶和华—我们的 神面前守节七日又七日，共十四日。
66 On the eighth day he hath sent the people away, and they bless the king, and go to their tents, rejoicing and glad of heart for all the good that Jehovah hath done to David His servant, and to Israel His people.
第八日，王遣散众民；他们都为王祝福。因见耶和华向他仆人大卫和他民以色列所施的一切恩惠，就都心中喜乐，各归各家去了。
