2 Chronicles

Chapter 7

1 Now when Solomon8010 had made an end3615 of praying,6419 the fire784 came down3381 from heaven,4480 8064 and consumed398 the burnt offering5930 and the sacrifices;2077 and the glory3519 of the LORD3068 filled4390 853 the house.1004

2 And the priests3548 could3201 not3808 enter935 into413 the house1004 of the LORD,3068 because3588 the glory3519 of the LORD3068 had filled4390 853 the LORD's3068 house.1004

3 And when all3605 the children1121 of Israel3478 saw7200 how the fire784 came down,3381 and the glory3519 of the LORD3068 upon5921 the house,1004 they bowed3766 themselves with their faces639 to the ground776 upon5921 the pavement,7531 and worshiped,7812 and praised3034 the LORD,3068 saying, For3588 he is good;2896 for3588 his mercy2617 endureth forever.5769

4 Then the king4428 and all3605 the people5971 offered2076 sacrifices2077 before6440 the LORD.3068

5 And king4428 Solomon8010 offered2076 853 a sacrifice2077 of twenty6242 and two8147 thousand505 oxen,1241 and a hundred3967 and twenty6242 thousand505 sheep:6629 so the king4428 and all3605 the people5971 dedicated2596 853 the house1004 of God.430

6 And the priests3548 waited5975 on5921 their offices:4931 the Levites3881 also with instruments3627 of music7892 of the LORD,3068 which834 David1732 the king4428 had made6213 to praise3034 the LORD,3068 because3588 his mercy2617 endureth forever,5769 when David1732 praised1984 by their ministry;3027 and the priests3548 sounded2690 trumpets before5048 them, and all3605 Israel3478 stood.5975

7 Moreover Solomon8010 hallowed6942 853 the middle8432 of the court2691 that834 was before6440 the house1004 of the LORD:3068 for3588 there8033 he offered6213 burnt offerings,5930 and the fat2459 of the peace offerings,8002 because3588 the brazen5178 altar4196 which834 Solomon8010 had made6213 was not able3201 3808 to receive3557 853 the burnt offerings,5930 and the meat offerings,4503 and the fat.2459

8 Also at the same1931 time6256 Solomon8010 kept6213 853 the feast2282 seven7651 days,3117 and all3605 Israel3478 with5973 him, a very3966 great1419 congregation,6951 from the entering in4480 935 of Hamath2574 unto5704 the river5158 of Egypt.4714

9 And in the eighth8066 day3117 they made6213 a solemn assembly:6116 for3588 they kept6213 the dedication2598 of the altar4196 seven7651 days,3117 and the feast2282 seven7651 days.3117

10 And on the three7969 and twentieth6242 day3117 of the seventh7637 month2320 he sent7971 853 the people5971 away into their tents,168 glad8056 and merry2896 in heart3820 for5921 the goodness2896 that834 the LORD3068 had showed6213 unto David,1732 and to Solomon,8010 and to Israel3478 his people.5971

11 Thus Solomon8010 finished3615 853 the house1004 of the LORD,3068 and the king's4428 house:1004 and all3605 that came935 into5921 Solomon's8010 heart3820 to make6213 in the house1004 of the LORD,3068 and in his own house,1004 he prosperously effected.6743

12 And the LORD3068 appeared7200 to413 Solomon8010 by night,3915 and said559 unto him, I have heard8085 853 thy prayer,8605 and have chosen977 this2088 place4725 to myself for a house1004 of sacrifice.2077

13 If2005 I shut up6113 heaven8064 that there be1961 no3808 rain,4306 or if2005 I command6680 5921 the locusts2284 to devour398 the land,776 or if518 I send7971 pestilence1698 among my people;5971

14 If my people,5971 which834 are called7121 5921 by my name,8034 shall humble themselves,3665 and pray,6419 and seek1245 my face,6440 and turn7725 from their wicked7451 ways;4480 1870 then will I589 hear8085 from4480 heaven,8064 and will forgive5545 their sin,2403 and will heal7495 853 their land.776

15 Now6258 mine eyes5869 shall be1961 open,6605 and mine ears241 attent7183 unto the prayer8605 that is made in this2088 place.4725

16 For now6258 have I chosen977 and sanctified6942 853 this2088 house,1004 that my name8034 may be1961 there8033 forever:5704 5769 and mine eyes5869 and mine heart3820 shall be1961 there8033 perpetually.3605 3117

17 And as for thee,859 if518 thou wilt walk1980 before6440 me, as834 David1732 thy father1 walked,1980 and do6213 according to all3605 that834 I have commanded6680 thee, and shalt observe8104 my statutes2706 and my judgments;4941

18 Then will I establish6965 853 the throne3678 of thy kingdom,4438 according as834 I have covenanted3772 with David1732 thy father,1 saying,559 There shall not3808 fail3772 thee a man376 to be ruler4910 in Israel.3478

19 But if518 ye859 turn away,7725 and forsake5800 my statutes2708 and my commandments,4687 which834 I have set5414 before6440 you, and shall go1980 and serve5647 other312 gods,430 and worship7812 them;

20 Then will I pluck them up by the roots5428 out of4480 5921 my land127 which834 I have given5414 them; and this2088 house,1004 which834 I have sanctified6942 for my name,8034 will I cast out7993 of4480 5921 my sight,6440 and will make5414 it to be a proverb4912 and a byword8148 among all3605 nations.5971

21 And this2088 house,1004 which834 is1961 high,5945 shall be an astonishment8074 to every one3605 that passeth5674 by5921 it; so that he shall say,559 Why4100 hath the LORD3068 done6213 thus3602 unto this2063 land,776 and unto this2088 house?1004

22 And it shall be answered,559 Because5921 834 they forsook5800 853 the LORD3068 God430 of their fathers,1 which834 brought them forth3318 out of the land4480 776 of Egypt,4714 and laid hold2388 on other312 gods,430 and worshiped7812 them, and served5647 them: therefore5921 3651 hath he brought935 853 all3605 this2063 evil7451 upon5921 them.

第7章

1 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 因耶和華的榮光充滿了耶和華殿,所以祭司不能進耶和華的[of the LORD]殿。

3 那火降下、耶和華的榮光在殿上的時候,以色列眾人看見,就屈身臉伏在鋪石地[bowed themselves with their faces to the ground upon the pavement]又敬拜[and worshipped],稱謝耶和華說:耶和華本為善,他的慈愛永遠長存。

4 王和眾民在耶和華面前獻祭。

5 所羅門王用牛二萬二千,羊十二萬獻祭。這樣,王和眾民為神的殿行奉獻之禮。

6 祭司侍立,各供其職;利未人也拿著耶和華的樂器,就是大衛王造出來、藉利未人頌讚耶和華的。[because]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 所羅門[Moreover]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 當時[at the same time]所羅門和以色列眾人,就是從進入哈馬的入口[entering in of Hamath]直到埃及[river],所有的以色列人都聚集成為大會,守節七日。

9 第八天設立嚴肅會,行奉獻壇的禮七日,守節七日。

10 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 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作的,都順順利利地作成了。

12 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 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 這稱為我名下的子民,若是自己謙卑[humble themselves]、禱告,尋求我的面,轉離他們的惡行,我必從天上垂聽,饒恕[forgive]他們的罪,醫治他們的地。

15 我必睜眼看、側耳聽在此處所獻的禱告。

16 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 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 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 「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 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,使他在列國[nations]中作俗談[proverb],被譏誚。

21 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 人必回答說:『是因此地的人離棄耶和華─他們列祖的神,就是領他們出埃及地的神,去親近眾別神,敬拜事奉他們,所以耶和華使這一切災禍臨到他們』」。

1 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 the priests3548 could3201 not3808 enter935 into413 the house1004 of the LORD,3068 because3588 the glory3519 of the LORD3068 had filled4390 853 the LORD's3068 house.1004

2 因耶和華的榮光充滿了耶和華殿,所以祭司不能進耶和華的[of the LORD]殿。

3 And when all3605 the children1121 of Israel3478 saw7200 how the fire784 came down,3381 and the glory3519 of the LORD3068 upon5921 the house,1004 they bowed3766 themselves with their faces639 to the ground776 upon5921 the pavement,7531 and worshiped,7812 and praised3034 the LORD,3068 saying, For3588 he is good;2896 for3588 his mercy2617 endureth forever.5769

4 Then the king4428 and all3605 the people5971 offered2076 sacrifices2077 before6440 the LORD.3068

4 王和眾民在耶和華面前獻祭。

5 And king4428 Solomon8010 offered2076 853 a sacrifice2077 of twenty6242 and two8147 thousand505 oxen,1241 and a hundred3967 and twenty6242 thousand505 sheep:6629 so the king4428 and all3605 the people5971 dedicated2596 853 the house1004 of God.430

5 所羅門王用牛二萬二千,羊十二萬獻祭。這樣,王和眾民為神的殿行奉獻之禮。

6 And the priests3548 waited5975 on5921 their offices:4931 the Levites3881 also with instruments3627 of music7892 of the LORD,3068 which834 David1732 the king4428 had made6213 to praise3034 the LORD,3068 because3588 his mercy2617 endureth forever,5769 when David1732 praised1984 by their ministry;3027 and the priests3548 sounded2690 trumpets before5048 them, and all3605 Israel3478 stood.5975

6 祭司侍立,各供其職;利未人也拿著耶和華的樂器,就是大衛王造出來、藉利未人頌讚耶和華的。[because]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 所羅門[Moreover]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 Also at the same1931 time6256 Solomon8010 kept6213 853 the feast2282 seven7651 days,3117 and all3605 Israel3478 with5973 him, a very3966 great1419 congregation,6951 from the entering in4480 935 of Hamath2574 unto5704 the river5158 of Egypt.4714

8 當時[at the same time]所羅門和以色列眾人,就是從進入哈馬的入口[entering in of Hamath]直到埃及[river],所有的以色列人都聚集成為大會,守節七日。

9 And in the eighth8066 day3117 they made6213 a solemn assembly:6116 for3588 they kept6213 the dedication2598 of the altar4196 seven7651 days,3117 and the feast2282 seven7651 days.3117

9 第八天設立嚴肅會,行奉獻壇的禮七日,守節七日。

10 And on the three7969 and twentieth6242 day3117 of the seventh7637 month2320 he sent7971 853 the people5971 away into their tents,168 glad8056 and merry2896 in heart3820 for5921 the goodness2896 that834 the LORD3068 had showed6213 unto David,1732 and to Solomon,8010 and to Israel3478 his people.5971

10 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 Thus Solomon8010 finished3615 853 the house1004 of the LORD,3068 and the king's4428 house:1004 and all3605 that came935 into5921 Solomon's8010 heart3820 to make6213 in the house1004 of the LORD,3068 and in his own house,1004 he prosperously effected.6743

11 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作的,都順順利利地作成了。

12 And the LORD3068 appeared7200 to413 Solomon8010 by night,3915 and said559 unto him, I have heard8085 853 thy prayer,8605 and have chosen977 this2088 place4725 to myself for a house1004 of sacrifice.2077

12 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 If2005 I shut up6113 heaven8064 that there be1961 no3808 rain,4306 or if2005 I command6680 5921 the locusts2284 to devour398 the land,776 or if518 I send7971 pestilence1698 among my people;5971

13 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 If my people,5971 which834 are called7121 5921 by my name,8034 shall humble themselves,3665 and pray,6419 and seek1245 my face,6440 and turn7725 from their wicked7451 ways;4480 1870 then will I589 hear8085 from4480 heaven,8064 and will forgive5545 their sin,2403 and will heal7495 853 their land.776

14 這稱為我名下的子民,若是自己謙卑[humble themselves]、禱告,尋求我的面,轉離他們的惡行,我必從天上垂聽,饒恕[forgive]他們的罪,醫治他們的地。

15 Now6258 mine eyes5869 shall be1961 open,6605 and mine ears241 attent7183 unto the prayer8605 that is made in this2088 place.4725

15 我必睜眼看、側耳聽在此處所獻的禱告。

16 For now6258 have I chosen977 and sanctified6942 853 this2088 house,1004 that my name8034 may be1961 there8033 forever:5704 5769 and mine eyes5869 and mine heart3820 shall be1961 there8033 perpetually.3605 3117

16 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 And as for thee,859 if518 thou wilt walk1980 before6440 me, as834 David1732 thy father1 walked,1980 and do6213 according to all3605 that834 I have commanded6680 thee, and shalt observe8104 my statutes2706 and my judgments;4941

17 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 Then will I establish6965 853 the throne3678 of thy kingdom,4438 according as834 I have covenanted3772 with David1732 thy father,1 saying,559 There shall not3808 fail3772 thee a man376 to be ruler4910 in Israel.3478

18 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 if518 ye859 turn away,7725 and forsake5800 my statutes2708 and my commandments,4687 which834 I have set5414 before6440 you, and shall go1980 and serve5647 other312 gods,430 and worship7812 them;

19 「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 Then will I pluck them up by the roots5428 out of4480 5921 my land127 which834 I have given5414 them; and this2088 house,1004 which834 I have sanctified6942 for my name,8034 will I cast out7993 of4480 5921 my sight,6440 and will make5414 it to be a proverb4912 and a byword8148 among all3605 nations.5971

20 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,使他在列國[nations]中作俗談[proverb],被譏誚。

21 And this2088 house,1004 which834 is1961 high,5945 shall be an astonishment8074 to every one3605 that passeth5674 by5921 it; so that he shall say,559 Why4100 hath the LORD3068 done6213 thus3602 unto this2063 land,776 and unto this2088 house?1004

21 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 it shall be answered,559 Because5921 834 they forsook5800 853 the LORD3068 God430 of their fathers,1 which834 brought them forth3318 out of the land4480 776 of Egypt,4714 and laid hold2388 on other312 gods,430 and worshiped7812 them, and served5647 them: therefore5921 3651 hath he brought935 853 all3605 this2063 evil7451 upon5921 them.

22 人必回答說:『是因此地的人離棄耶和華─他們列祖的神,就是領他們出埃及地的神,去親近眾別神,敬拜事奉他們,所以耶和華使這一切災禍臨到他們』」。
