王上8:1 那时，所罗门把以色列的长老、各支派的首领和以色列的族长，都召集到耶路撒冷自己面前，要把耶和华的约柜从大卫城，就是锡安运上来。
王上8:1 Then Solomon sent for all the responsible men of Israel, and all the chiefs of the tribes, and the heads of families of the children of Israel, to come to him in Jerusalem to take the ark of the Lord's agreement up out of the town of David, which is Zion.
王上8:2 于是，在以他念月，就是七月，在守节期的时候，以色列众人都聚集到所罗门王那里。
王上8:2 And all the men of Israel came together to King Solomon at the feast, in the month Ethanim, the seventh month.
王上8:3 以色列的众长老都来到了，祭司们就把约柜抬起来。
王上8:3 And all the responsible men of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark.
王上8:4 祭司和利未人把耶和华的约柜、会幕和会幕里的一切圣器具都运上来。
王上8:4 They took up the ark of the Lord, and the Tent of meeting, and all the holy vessels which were in the Tent; all these the priests and the Levites took up.
王上8:5 所罗门王和聚集到他那里的以色列全体会众，都一同在约柜前献牛羊为祭，数目多得不可胜数，无法计算。
王上8:5 And King Solomon and all the men of Israel who had come together there, were with him before the ark, making offerings of sheep and oxen more than might be numbered.
王上8:6 祭司把耶和华的约柜抬进内殿为它预备的地方，就是至圣所，放在两个基路伯的翅膀底下。
王上8:6 And the priests took the ark of the agreement of the Lord and put it in its place in the inner room of the house, in the most holy place, under the wings of the winged ones.
王上8:7 因为基路伯展开翅膀在约柜所在地的上面，遮掩约柜和抬柜的杠。
王上8:7 For their wings were outstretched over the place where the ark was, covering the ark and its rods.
王上8:8 这些杠很长，在内殿前的圣所可以看见杠头，在殿外却看不见；直到今日，这些杠还在那里。
王上8:8 The rods were so long that their ends were seen from the holy place, in front of the inmost room; but they were not seen from outside: and there they are to this day.
王上8:9 约柜里面只有两块石版，这两块石版在以色列人出埃及地以后，耶和华与他们立约的时候，摩西在何烈山放在那里的。
王上8:9 There was nothing in the ark but the two flat stones which Moses put there at Horeb, where the Lord made an agreement with the children of Israel when they came out of the land of Egypt.
王上8:10 祭司从圣所里出来的时候，有云彩充满耶和华的殿，
王上8:10 Now when the priests had come out of the holy place, the house of the Lord was full of the cloud,
王上8:11 因为云彩的缘故，祭司不能站立服事，因为耶和华的荣光充满了圣殿。
王上8:11 So that the priests were not able to keep their places to do their work because of the cloud, for the house of the Lord was full of the glory of the Lord.
王上8:12 那时，所罗门说：“耶和华曾说，他要住在密云中。
王上8:12 Then Solomon said, O Lord, to the sun you have given the heaven for a living-place, but your living-place was not seen by men;
王上8:13 现在我果然为你建造了一座巍峨的殿，作你永远的居所。”
王上8:13 So I have made for you a living-place, a house in which you may be for ever present.
王上8:14 于是王把脸转过来，为全体以色列会众祝福，全体以色列会众都站着。
王上8:14 Then, turning his face about, the king gave a blessing to all the men of Israel; and they were all on their feet together.
王上8:15 所罗门说：“耶和华以色列的 神是应当称颂的，因为他亲口对我父亲大卫应许过的，现在他亲手成全了。他说：
王上8:15 And he said, Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, who himself gave his word to David my father, and with his strong hand has made his word come true, saying,
王上8:16 ‘自从我把我的子民以色列领出埃及的日子以来，我未曾在以色列的各支派中拣选一座城，建造殿宇，作我名的居所；但我拣选了大卫治理我的子民以色列。’
王上8:16 From the day when I took my people Israel out of Egypt, no town in all the tribes of Israel has been marked out by me for the building of a house for the resting-place of my name; but I made selection of David to be king over my people Israel.
王上8:17 我父大卫心里有意要为耶和华以色列的 神的名建殿。
王上8:17 Now it was in the heart of David my father to put up a house for the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.
王上8:18 但耶和华对我父大卫说：‘你心里有意为我的名建一座殿，你这心意是好的。
王上8:18 But the Lord said to David my father, You did well to have in your heart the desire to make a house for my name;
王上8:19 然而你不要建造这殿，只有你亲生的儿子，他必为我的名建造这殿。’
王上8:19 But you yourself will not be the builder of my house; but your son, the offspring of your body, he it is who will put up a house for my name.
王上8:20 现在耶和华已经实现了他说过的话，我已经起来继承我父大卫，坐在以色列的王位上，正如耶和华所说过的。我也已经为耶和华以色列的 神的名建造了这殿。
王上8:20 And the Lord has made his word come true; for I have taken my father David's place on the seat of the kingdom of Israel, as the Lord gave his word; and I have made a house for the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.
王上8:21 我又为约柜预备了一个地方。这约柜里有耶和华的约，就是他领我们列祖出埃及地的时候与他们所立的。”
王上8:21 In it I have made a place for the ark, in which is the agreement which the Lord made with our fathers, when he took them out of the land of Egypt.
王上8:22 所罗门当着以色列的全体会众，站在耶和华的祭坛前，向天伸开双手，
王上8:22 Then Solomon took his place before the altar of the Lord, all the men of Israel being present, and stretching out his hands to heaven,
王上8:23 祷告说：“耶和华以色列的 神啊，天上地下没有别的神像你；你对一心在你面前行事为人的仆人守约施慈爱。
王上8:23 Said, O Lord, the God of Israel, there is no God like you in heaven or on the earth; keeping faith and mercy unchanging for your servants, while they go in your ways with all their hearts.
王上8:24 你谨守了你应许过你仆人我父大卫的话。你亲口说过，也亲手作成，正如今天一样。
王上8:24 And you have kept the word which you gave to your servant David, my father; with your mouth you said it and with your hand you have made it come true this day.
王上8:25 耶和华以色列的 神啊，现在求你谨守你应许你仆人我父亲大卫的话：‘只要你的子孙谨守他们的行为，像你在我面前所行的一样，就必不断有人坐以色列的王位。’
王上8:25 So now, O Lord, the God of Israel, let your word to your servant David, my father, come true, when you said, You will never be without a man to take his place on the seat of the kingdom of Israel before me, if only your children give attention to their ways, walking before me as you have done.
王上8:26 以色列的 神啊，现在求你成就你应许你仆人我父大卫的话吧！
王上8:26 So now, O God of Israel, it is my prayer that you will make your word come true which you said to your servant David, my father.
王上8:27 “ 神真的住在地上吗？看哪！天和天上的天尚且不能容纳你，何况我建造的这殿呢？
王上8:27 But is it truly possible that God may be housed on earth? see, heaven and the heaven of heavens are not wide enough to be your resting-place; how much less this house which I have made!
王上8:28 然而耶和华我的 神啊，求你垂顾你仆人的祷告和恳求，垂听你仆人今天在你面前所作的呼吁和祷告。
王上8:28 Still, let your heart be turned to the prayer of your servant, O Lord God, and to his prayer for grace; give ear to the cry and the prayer which your servant sends up to you this day;
王上8:29 愿你的眼睛昼夜看顾这殿，看顾你所说‘我的名要留在那里’的地方。愿你垂听你仆人向这地方所发的祷告。
王上8:29 That your eyes may be open to this house night and day, to this place of which you have said, My name will be there; hearing the prayer which your servant may make, turning to this place.
王上8:30 你仆人和你的子民以色列向这地方祷告的时候，求你垂听他们的恳求。求你在天上的居所垂听，垂听而赦免。
王上8:30 Give ear to the prayers of your servant, and the prayers of your people Israel, when they make their prayers, turning to this place; give ear in heaven your living-place, and hearing, have mercy.
王上8:31 “如果有人得罪他的邻居被迫起誓，他来到这殿在你的祭坛前起誓的时候，
王上8:31 If a man does wrong to his neighbour, and has to take an oath, and comes before your altar to take his oath in this house:
王上8:32 求你在天上垂听，采取行动，审判你的仆人，定恶人有罪，使他所行的，都归到他自己的头上。定义人有理，照着他的公义赏赐他。
王上8:32 Then let your ear be open in heaven, and be the judge of your servants, giving your decision against the wrongdoer, so that punishment for his sins may come on his head; and, by your decision, keeping from evil him who has done no wrong.
王上8:33 “你的子民以色列若是得罪了你，以致在仇敌面前被打败，又回转归向你，承认你的名，在这殿里向你祷告恳求的时候，
王上8:33 When your people Israel are overcome in war, because of their sin against you; if they are turned to you again, honouring your name, making prayers to you and requesting your grace in this house:
王上8:34 求你在天上垂听，赦免你的子民以色列的罪，领他们返回你赐给他们列祖之地。
王上8:34 Then give ear in heaven, and let the sin of your people Israel have forgiveness, and take them back again into the land which you gave to their fathers.
王上8:35 “如果他们因为得罪了你，天就闭塞不下雨；他们若是向这地方祷告，承认你的名；又因你苦待他们，就离开他们的罪，
王上8:35 When heaven is shut up and there is no rain, because of their sin against you; if they make prayers with their faces turned to this place, honouring your name and turning away from their sin when you send trouble on them:
王上8:36 求你在天上垂听，赦免你仆人和你的子民以色列的罪，指示他们当行的善道，赐雨水在你的地上，就是你赐给你子民的产业之地。
王上8:36 Then give ear in heaven, so that the sin of your servants, and of your people Israel, may have forgiveness, when you make clear to them the good way in which they are to go; and send rain on your land which you have given to your people for their heritage.
王上8:37 “如果这地有饥荒、瘟疫、旱风、霉烂、蝗虫、蚂蚱，或有仇敌把他们围困在城里，无论遭遇什么灾祸，什么疾病，
王上8:37 If there is no food in the land, or if there is disease, or if the fruits of the earth are damaged through heat or water, locust or worm; if their towns are shut in by their attackers; whatever trouble, whatever disease there may be:
王上8:38 你的子民以色列，或是众人，或是个人，知道自己心里的苦痛，向这殿伸开双手所作的一切祷告、一切恳求，
王上8:38 Whatever prayer or request for your grace is made by any man, or by all your people Israel, whatever his trouble may be, whose hands are stretched out to this house:
王上8:39 求你在天上你的居所垂听而赦免，并且采取行动。你是知道人心的，只有你知道万人的心，求你照着各人所行的报应他，
王上8:39 Give ear in heaven your living-place, acting in mercy; and give to every man whose secret heart is open to you, the reward of all his ways; for you, and you only, have knowledge of the hearts of all the children of men:
王上8:40 好使他们在你赐给我们列祖的地上，一生一世敬畏你。
王上8:40 So that they may give you worship all the days of their life in the land which you gave to our fathers.
王上8:41 “至于不属于你的子民以色列的外族人，为了你的名的缘故从远地而来，
王上8:41 And as for the man from a strange land, who is not of your people Israel; when he comes from a far country because of the glory of your name:
王上8:42 因为他们听到你的大名、大能的手和伸出来的膀臂，他们来向这殿祷告的时候，
王上8:42 (For they will have news of your great name and your strong hand and your out-stretched arm;) when he comes to make his prayer, turning to this house:
王上8:43 求你在天上你的居所垂听，照着外族人向你呼求的一切而行，好使地上的万族万民都认识你的名，敬畏你，像你的子民以色列一样；又使他们知道我建造的这殿是称为你的名下的。
王上8:43 Give ear in heaven your living-place, and give him his desire, whatever it may be; so that all the peoples of the earth may have knowledge of your name, worshipping you as do your people Israel, and that they may see that this house which I have put up is truly named by your name.
王上8:44 “如果你的子民出去与仇敌争战，无论你派他们到哪处，他们若是向你所拣选的这城，并向我为你的名建造的这殿祷告，
王上8:44 If your people go out to war against their attackers, by whatever way you may send them, if they make their prayer to the Lord, turning their faces to this town of yours and to this house which I have made for your name:
王上8:45 求你在天上垂听他们的祷告和恳求，为他们主持公道。
王上8:45 Give ear in heaven to their prayer and their cry for grace, and see right done to them.
王上8:46 “如果你的子民得罪了你（没有不犯罪的世人），你向他们发怒，把他们交给仇敌，以致仇敌把他们掳到仇敌的地方，或是远或是近，
王上8:46 If they do wrong against you, (for no man is without sin,) and you are angry with them and give them up into the power of those who are fighting against them, so that they take them away as prisoners into a strange land, far off or near;
王上8:47 在被掳的地方，他们若是回心转意，在他们被掳去之地回转，向你祈求，说：‘我们犯了罪了；我们犯了过了，我们作了恶事。’
王上8:47 And if they take thought, in the land where they are prisoners, and are turned again to you, crying out in prayer to you in that land, and saying, We are sinners, we have done wrong, we have done evil;
王上8:48 如果他们在俘掳他们的仇敌的地方，一心一意回转归向你，又向着你赐给他们列祖的地方，向你所拣选的这城，和我为你的名建造的这殿祷告，
王上8:48 And with all their heart and soul are turned again to you, in the land of those who took them prisoners, and make their prayer to you, turning their eyes to this land which you gave to their fathers, and to the town which you took for yourself, and the house which I made for your name:
王上8:49 求你在天上你的居所垂听他们的祷告和恳求，为他们主持公道。
王上8:49 Then give ear to their prayer and to their cry in heaven your living-place, and see right done to them;
王上8:50 赦免得罪了你的子民，又赦免他们冒犯你的一切过犯，使他们在掳他们的人面前蒙怜悯。
王上8:50 Answering with forgiveness the people who have done wrong against you, and overlooking the evil which they have done against you; let those who made them prisoners be moved with pity for them, and have pity on them;
王上8:51 因为他们是你的子民、你的产业，是你从埃及、从铁炉中领出来的。
王上8:51 For they are your people and your heritage, which you took out of Egypt, out of the iron fireplace;
王上8:52 愿你睁开眼睛看顾你仆人的祈求，和你的子民以色列的祈求，他们向你呼求的，愿你都垂听。
王上8:52 Let your eyes be open to your servant's prayer for grace and to the prayer of your people Israel, hearing them when their cry comes to you.
王上8:53 主耶和华啊！因为你已经把他们从地上万族万民中分别出来，作自己的产业，正如你领我们的列祖出埃及的时候，借着你的仆人摩西所应许的。”
王上8:53 For you made them separate from all the peoples of the earth, to be your heritage, as you said by Moses your servant, when you took our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord God.
王上8:54 所罗门在耶和华的祭坛前屈膝下跪，向天伸开双手，向耶和华献完了这一切祷告和恳求以后，就起来，
王上8:54 Then Solomon, after making all these prayers and requests for grace to the Lord, got up from his knees before the altar of the Lord, where his hands had been stretched out in prayer to heaven;
王上8:55 站着，大声给以色列的全体会众祝福，说：
王上8:55 And, getting on his feet, he gave a blessing to all the men of Israel, saying with a loud voice,
王上8:56 “耶和华是应当称颂的。他照着自己一切所应许的，赐安息给他的子民以色列人。借着他的仆人摩西所应许一切美好的话，一句都没有落空。
王上8:56 Praise be to the Lord who has given rest to his people Israel, as he gave them his word to do; every word of all his oath, which he gave by the hand of Moses his servant, has come true.
王上8:57 愿耶和华我们的 神与我们同在，像与我们的列祖同在一样。愿他不离弃我们，也不撇下我们。
王上8:57 Now may the Lord our God be with us as he was with our fathers; let him never go away from us or give us up;
王上8:58 愿他使我们的心归向他，遵行他的一切道，谨守他吩咐我们列祖的诫命、律例和典章。
王上8:58 Turning our hearts to himself, guiding us to go in all his ways, to keep his orders and his laws and his decisions, which he gave to our fathers.
王上8:59 愿我在耶和华面前恳求的这些话，昼夜都不离耶和华我们的 神，好使他天天为他仆人和他的子民以色列人主持公道，
王上8:59 And may these my words, the words of my prayer to the Lord, be before the Lord our God day and night, so that he may see right done to his servant and to his people Israel, day by day as we have need.
王上8:60 使地上万族万民都知道耶和华是 神，除他以外没有别的神。
王上8:60 So that all the peoples of the earth may see that the Lord is God, and there is no other.
王上8:61 所以你们的心要完全归给耶和华我们的 神，遵行他的律例，谨守他的诫命，像今天一样。”
王上8:61 Then let your hearts be without sin before the Lord our God, walking in his laws and keeping his orders as at this day.
王上8:62 王和所有与他在一起的以色列人都在耶和华面前献祭。
王上8:62 Now the king, and all Israel with him, were making offerings before the Lord.
王上8:63 所罗门向耶和华献平安祭，牛二万二千头，羊十二万只；这样，王和以色列众人为耶和华的殿举行了奉献典礼。
王上8:63 And Solomon gave to the Lord for peace-offerings, twenty-two thousand oxen and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel kept the feast of the opening of the Lord's house.
王上8:64 那一天，因为耶和华面前的铜祭坛太小，容不下燔祭、素祭和平安祭牲的脂肪，王就把耶和华殿前院子当中的地方分别为圣，在那里献燔祭、素祭和平安祭牲的脂肪。
王上8:64 The same day the king made holy the middle of the open square in front of the house of the Lord, offering there the burned offering and the meal offering and the fat of the peace-offerings; for there was not room on the brass altar of the Lord for the burned offerings and the meal offerings and the fat of the peace-offerings.
王上8:65 那时所罗门与从哈马口直到埃及小河的以色列人，都在耶和华我们的 神面前举行盛大的集会，守节七天，又七天，一共十四天。
王上8:65 So Solomon and all Israel with him, a very great meeting, (for the people had come together from the way into Hamath to the river of Egypt,) kept the feast at that time before the Lord our God, for two weeks, even fourteen days.
王上8:66 到了第八天，王遣散了众人；众人都祝福过王以后，就高高兴兴地回自己的家去。他们因为看见耶和华向他仆人大卫和他子民以色列所施的一切恩惠，心中都感到欢喜。
王上8:66 And on the eighth day he sent the people away, and, blessing the king, they went to their tents full of joy and glad in their hearts, because of all the good which the Lord had done to David his servant and to Israel his people.
