2 Tawarikh 6
1 Raja Salomo berdoa, "Ya TUHAN, Engkau lebih suka tinggal dalam kegelapan awan.
Then said Solomon, The LORD has said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
2 Kini kubangun bagi-Mu gedung yang megah, untuk tempat tinggal-Mu selama-lamanya."
But I have built an house of habitation for you, and a place for your dwelling for ever.
3 Setelah berdoa, raja berpaling kepada seluruh rakyat yang sedang berdiri di situ, lalu ia memohonkan berkat Allah bagi mereka.
And the king turned his face, and blessed the whole congregation of Israel: and all the congregation of Israel stood.
4 Ia berkata, "Dahulu TUHAN telah berjanji kepada ayahku Daud begini, 'Sejak Aku membawa umat-Ku ke luar dari Mesir sampai pada hari ini, di negeri Israel tidak ada satu kota pun yang Kupilih menjadi tempat di mana harus dibangun rumah untuk tempat ibadat kepada-Ku, dan tidak seorang pun yang Kupilih untuk memimpin umat-Ku Israel. Tetapi sekarang Aku memilih Yerusalem sebagai tempat ibadah kepada-Ku. Dan engkau, Daud, Kupilih untuk memerintah umat-Ku.' Terpujilah TUHAN Allah Israel yang sudah menepati janji-Nya itu!"
And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, who has with his hands fulfilled that which he spoke with his mouth to my father David, saying,
Since the day that I brought forth my people out of the land of Egypt I chose no city among all the tribes of Israel to build an house in, that my name might be there; neither chose I any man to be a ruler over my people Israel:
But I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and have chosen David to be over my people Israel.
7 Selanjutnya Salomo berkata, "Ayahku Daud telah merencanakan untuk membangun rumah tempat ibadat kepada TUHAN Allah Israel.
Now it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.
8 Tetapi TUHAN berkata kepadanya, 'Maksudmu itu baik.
But the LORD said to David my father, Forasmuch as it was in your heart to build an house for my name, you did well in that it was in your heart:
9 Tetapi, bukan engkau, melainkan anakmulah yang akan membangun rumah-Ku itu.'
Notwithstanding you shall not build the house; but your son which shall come forth out of your loins, he shall build the house for my name.
10 Sekarang TUHAN telah menepati janji-Nya. Aku telah menjadi raja Israel menggantikan ayahku, dan aku telah pula membangun rumah untuk tempat ibadat kepada TUHAN, Allah Israel.
The LORD therefore has performed his word that he has spoken: for I am risen up in the room of David my father, and am set on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built the house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.
11 Di dalam Rumah TUHAN itu telah kusediakan tempat untuk Peti Perjanjian yang berisi batu perjanjian antara TUHAN dengan umat Israel."
And in it have I put the ark, wherein is the covenant of the LORD, that he made with the children of Israel.
12 Salomo telah membuat panggung perunggu di tengah-tengah halaman Rumah TUHAN. Panjangnya dan lebarnya 2,2 meter, dan tingginya 1,3 meter. Di hadapan rakyat yang hadir, Salomo menaiki panggung itu, dan berdiri menghadap mezbah. Semua orang dapat melihatnya. Kemudian ia berlutut, lalu mengangkat kedua tangannya serta menadahkannya ke langit dan berdoa,
And he stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands:
For Solomon had made a brazen scaffold of five cubits long, and five cubits broad, and three cubits high, and had set it in the midst of the court: and upon it he stood, and kneeled down upon his knees before all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven.
14 "TUHAN, Allah Israel! Di langit ataupun di bumi tak ada yang seperti Engkau! Engkau menepati janji-Mu dan menunjukkan kasih-Mu kepada umat-Mu yang setia dan taat dengan sepenuh hati kepada-Mu.
And said, O LORD God of Israel, there is no God like you in the heaven, nor in the earth; which keep covenant, and show mercy unto your servants, that walk before you with all their hearts:
15 Engkau telah menepati janji-Mu kepada ayahku Daud. Apa yang Kaujanjikan itu sudah Kaulaksanakan hari ini.
You which have kept with your servant David my father that which you have promised him; and spoke with your mouth, and have fulfilled it with your hand, as it is this day.
16 Engkau juga telah berjanji kepada ayahku bahwa kalau keturunannya sungguh-sungguh taat kepada hukum-Mu seperti dia, maka untuk selama-lamanya seorang dari keturunannya akan memerintah sebagai raja di Israel. Sekarang, ya TUHAN Allah Israel, tepatilah juga semua yang telah Kaujanjikan kepada ayahku Daud, hamba-Mu itu.
Now therefore, O LORD God of Israel, keep with your servant David my father that which you have promised him, saying, There shall not fail you a man in my sight to sit upon the throne of Israel; yet so that your children take heed to their way to walk in my law, as you have walked before me.
Now then, O LORD God of Israel, let your word be verified, which you have spoken unto your servant David.
18 Tetapi, ya Allah, sungguhkah Engkau sudi tinggal di bumi ini di antara manusia? Langit seluruhnya pun tak cukup luas untuk-Mu, apalagi rumah ibadat yang kubangun ini!
But will God in very deed dwell with men on the earth? behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain you; how much less this house which I have built!
19 Ya TUHAN, Allahku, aku hamba-Mu! Namun dengarkanlah kiranya doaku, dan kabulkanlah permohonanku.
Have respect therefore to the prayer of your servant, and to his supplication, O LORD my God, to hearken unto the cry and the prayer which your servant prays before you:
20 Semoga siang malam Engkau melindungi rumah ini yang telah Kaupilih sebagai tempat ibadat kepada-Mu. Semoga dari tempat kediaman-Mu di surga Engkau mendengar dan mengampuni aku serta umat Israel, umat-Mu itu, apabila kami menghadap rumah ini dan berdoa kepada-Mu.
That your eyes may be open upon this house day and night, upon the place whereof you have said that you would put your name there; to hearken unto the prayer which your servant prays toward this place.
Hearken therefore unto the supplications of your servant, and of your people Israel, which they shall make toward this place: hear you from your dwelling place, even from heaven; and when you hear, forgive.
22 Apabila seseorang dituduh bersalah terhadap orang lain dan dibawa ke mezbah-Mu di dalam Rumah-Mu ini untuk bersumpah bahwa ia tidak bersalah,
If a man sin against his neighbour, and an oath be laid upon him to make him swear, and the oath come before your altar in this house;
23 ya TUHAN, hendaklah Engkau mendengarkan di surga dan memutuskan perkara hamba-hamba-Mu ini. Hukumlah yang bersalah dan bebaskanlah yang tidak bersalah.
Then hear you from heaven, and do, and judge your servants, by requiting the wicked, by recompensing his way upon his own head; and by justifying the righteous, by giving him according to his righteousness.
24 Apabila umat-Mu Israel dikalahkan oleh musuh-musuhnya karena mereka berdosa, lalu menyesal dan menghormati Engkau lagi sebagai TUHAN, kemudian datang ke Rumah-Mu ini serta berdoa mohon ampun kepada-Mu,
And if your people Israel be put to the worse before the enemy, because they have sinned against you; and shall return and confess your name, and pray and make supplication before you in this house;
25 semoga Engkau mendengarkan mereka di surga. Semoga Engkau mengampuni dosa umat-Mu ini, dan membawa mereka kembali ke negeri yang telah Kauberikan kepada mereka dan kepada leluhur mereka.
Then hear you from the heavens, and forgive the sin of your people Israel, and bring them again unto the land which you gave to them and to their fathers.
26 Apabila umat-Mu berdosa kepada-Mu dan Engkau menghukum mereka dengan tidak menurunkan hujan, lalu mereka bertobat dari dosa mereka dan menghormati Engkau sebagai TUHAN, kemudian menghadap ke Rumah-Mu ini serta berdoa kepada-Mu,
When the heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against you; yet if they pray toward this place, and confess your name, and turn from their sin, when you do afflict them;
27 ya TUHAN di surga, dengarkanlah mereka. Dan ampunilah dosa hamba-hamba-Mu umat Israel. Ajarlah mereka melakukan apa yang benar. Setelah itu, ya TUHAN, turunkanlah hujan ke negeri-Mu ini, negeri yang Kauberikan kepada umat-Mu untuk menjadi miliknya selama-lamanya.
Then hear you from heaven, and forgive the sin of your servants, and of your people Israel, when you have taught them the good way, wherein they should walk; and send rain upon your land, which you have given unto your people for an inheritance.
28 Apabila negeri ini dilanda kelaparan atau wabah, atau tanaman-tanaman dirusak oleh angin panas, hama atau serangga belalang, atau apabila umat-Mu diserang musuh, atau diserang penyakit,
If there be dearth in the land, if there be pestilence, if there be blasting, or mildew, locusts, or caterpillars; if their enemies besiege them in the cities of their land; whatsoever sore or whatsoever sickness there be:
29 semoga Engkau mendengarkan doa mereka. Kalau dari antara umat-Mu Israel ada yang dengan bersedih hati berdoa kepada-Mu sambil menengadahkan tangannya ke arah Rumah-Mu ini,
Then what prayer or what supplication whatsoever shall be made of any man, or of all your people Israel, when every one shall know his own sore and his own grief, and shall spread forth his hands in this house:
30 kiranya Engkau di dalam kediaman-Mu di surga mendengar serta mengampuni mereka. Hanya Engkaulah yang mengenal isi hati manusia. Sebab itu perlakukanlah setiap orang setimpal perbuatan-perbuatannya,
Then hear you from heaven your dwelling place, and forgive, and render unto every man according unto all his ways, whose heart you know; (for you only know the hearts of the children of men: )
31 supaya umat-Mu takut dan taat kepada-Mu selalu selama mereka tinggal di negeri yang Kauberikan kepada leluhur kami.
That they may fear you, to walk in your ways, so long as they live in the land which you gave unto our fathers.
32 Apabila seorang asing di negeri yang jauh mendengar tentang keagungan dan kekuatan-Mu, dan bahwa Engkau selalu siap untuk menolong, lalu ia datang di Rumah-Mu ini untuk berdoa kepada-Mu,
Moreover concerning the stranger, which is not of your people Israel, but has come from a far country for your great name's sake, and your mighty hand, and your stretched out arm; if they come and pray in this house;
33 semoga dari kediaman-Mu di surga Engkau mendengarkan doanya dan mengabulkan permintaannya. Dengan demikian segala bangsa di seluruh dunia mengenal Engkau dan taat kepada-Mu seperti umat-Mu Israel. Mereka akan mengetahui bahwa rumah yang kubangun inilah tempat untuk beribadat kepada-Mu.
Then hear you from the heavens, even from your dwelling place, and do according to all that the stranger calls to you for; that all people of the earth may know your name, and fear you, as does your people Israel, and may know that this house which I have built is called by your name.
34 Apabila Engkau memerintahkan umat-Mu untuk pergi berperang melawan musuh, lalu di mana pun mereka berada, mereka menghadap ke kota pilihan-Mu ini dan berdoa ke arah rumah ini yang telah kubangun untuk-Mu,
If your people go out to war against their enemies by the way that you shall send them, and they pray unto you toward this city which you have chosen, and the house which I have built for your name;
35 semoga di surga Engkau mendengarkan doa mereka itu, dan memberikan kemenangan kepada mereka.
Then hear you from the heavens their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.
36 Apabila umat-Mu berdosa kepada-Mu--sesungguhnya tidak ada seorang pun yang tidak berdosa--lalu karena kemarahan-Mu Kaubiarkan mereka dikalahkan oleh musuh dan dibawa sebagai tawanan ke suatu negeri yang jauh atau dekat,
If they sin against you, (for there is no man which sins not, ) and you be angry with them, and deliver them over before their enemies, and they carry them away captives unto a land far off or near;
37 semoga Engkau mendengarkan doa mereka. Jikalau di negeri itu mereka meninggalkan dosa-dosa mereka, dan berdoa kepada-Mu sambil mengakui bahwa mereka telah berdosa dan berbuat jahat, dengarkanlah doa mereka, ya TUHAN.
Yet if they call to reflect themselves in the land where they are carried captive, and turn and pray unto you in the land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have done amiss, and have dealt wickedly;
38 Jikalau di negeri itu mereka dengan ikhlas dan sungguh-sungguh meninggalkan dosa-dosa mereka, dan berdoa kepada-Mu sambil menghadap ke negeri ini yang Kauberikan kepada leluhur kami, ke arah kota pilihan-Mu dan rumah ibadat yang telah kubangun untuk-Mu ini,
If they return to you with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, where they have carried them captives, and pray toward their land, which you gave unto their fathers, and toward the city which you have chosen, and toward the house which I have built for your name:
39 maka dari kediaman-Mu di surga hendaklah Engkau mendengar doa mereka dan mengasihani mereka. Ampunilah semua dosa umat-Mu.
Then hear you from the heavens, even from your dwelling place, their prayer and their supplications, and maintain their cause, and forgive your people which have sinned against you.
40 Kini, ya Allahku, perhatikanlah kami dan dengarkanlah doa-doa yang disampaikan kepada-Mu dari tempat ini.
Now, my God, let, I plead to you, your eyes be open, and let your ears be attentive unto the prayer that is made in this place.
41 Bangkitlah sekarang, ya TUHAN Allah! Dan bersama dengan Peti Perjanjian yang melambangkan kuasa-Mu itu hendaklah Engkau memasuki rumah-Mu ini dan tinggal di sini untuk selama-lamanya. Berkatilah segala pekerjaan imam-imam-Mu, dan semoga seluruh umat-Mu berbahagia karena Engkau baik kepada mereka.
Now therefore arise, O LORD God, into your resting place, you, and the ark of your strength: let your priests, O LORD God, be clothed with salvation, and let your saints rejoice in goodness.
42 TUHAN Allah, janganlah Kautolak raja yang telah Kaupilih ini. Ingatlah akan kasih-Mu kepada Daud hamba-Mu."
O LORD God, turn not away the face of your anointed: remember the mercies of David your servant.
